"A MiSchievOus Bird.

There is parrot in St. Louis, which
exclaims, whenever man enters the
room: ''You're drunk, sir, and had bet
ter go away. don't want to see you
till you're over it, People wonder how
the bird catches on, but the explanation
is simple; it doesn't know how to say
anything else, and of course in making
the remark to every man it frequently
gets near home. One gentleman who
called thought it was the lady of the
house speaking, and rushed out of the
parlor She sat down to write a note of
explanation to him, when to her amaze
ment servant brought her a note from
the gentleman she was writing to, in
which he stated that he acknowledged
with humility that he had perhaps
taken too much wine with his dinner,
but had hoped on calling on her that
she would not have detected it. AS she
had done so, however, he offered his
most abject apologies and prayer for
forgiveness.

A Strange Story.

Round the neck of the holy virgin of
Almudena. the patron saint of Madrid,
for whom fine new church is being
built close to the royal palace. a very
beautiful diamond ring hangs on a thin
gold chain. The ring belonged to the
late King Alphonso XII. and a strange
history is connected with it, which may
we'll appeal to the minds Of the super
stitious Spaniards On the day of his
wedding to Mercedes, the daughter OF
of the duke of Montpensier, the king
gave the ring to his bride, who wore it
till her early death. After the funeral
the king gave the ring to his grand
mother, Queen Christine, who died soon
after. Infanta Maria del Pillar, the sis
ter of the king, then became it's pos
sessor She had worn it only a few
days when she died. Then the ring
became the property of the king once
more, and he gave it to the sister of his
late consort, Princess Christina, the
youngest daughter of the duke of Mont
pensier. Three months later the young
girl was dead. The king had now be-
come aware of the unfortunate coinci-
dences, and instead of giving it away
again he himself wore the ring until he
also went to his early grave.

GARFIEAD'S ASSASSIN.
Guiteau's Last Drink-How His Body Was
Boiled.

Guiteau's Last Drink--How His Body Was
Boiled.
DIR. Tilden, formerly chemist at the
national medical museum, has told a re-
porter some unwritten history about
Guiteau, President Gardeld's assassin.
He said that the assassin went to the
scaffold in a semi~drunken condition.
ss,This," added the doctor, ''was neces~
sity. You are aware that when a squad
Of soldiers entered the Jail rotunda a
short while before the execution and
came to order arms with loud bang
Guiteau fell over in dead faint. His
nervous system was shattered, and the
physicians felt that they would be
unable to get him to the scaffold. A
consultation was held and it was de-
cided to give him a >dose Of brandy
This was done and he got a big dose
too. Not being used to drinking, the
dose went to his head, and his oh
Lordy song on the scaffold was, in my
estimation, drunken effusion."
DR.. Tilden, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, described how the body OF
Guiteau was removed to the museum,
then located on Tenth street. He said
that the body was never buried, but,
after being placed in the coffin, was
taken down into the Jail cellar, where
it remained until after midnight Soon
after that hour an ambulance drove up
to the building and the remains were
quietly placed therein and quickly
driven down town. Then they were
Aalxan into the museum through the
alley which runs in from e street. Once
in the building all that remained OF
Charles J. Guiteau was taken into the
boiler-room and placed in an immense
boiler, where it was allowed to boil and
bubble until all the flesh had fallen
from the bones. The latter We're then
picked out and bleached, and some day
win form an interesting exhibit IN the
medical museum.

ABOUT THE RuBY.
There Are Three Kinds, But Only One
That Is True.

There Are Three Kinds, But Only One
That Is True.
There are three kinds Of rubies-the
oriental ruby, the spinel ruby and the
balas ruby. The first is the only true
one. The latter differ considerably in
composition from the first. The true
ruby is composed almost exclusively ct
alumina, says the jewelers. Review. In
the latter are only seven-tenths OF
alu1nina, the remainder being chiefly
magnesia. Their color, moreover, is
due partially to the oxide of chromium,
a substance of which the genuine ruby
has not trace.
In commerce the balas ruby has much
inferior value to the spineL This is
generally of a vivid, poppy red color;
the balas is of a violet rose, although
Pegu has furnished white and white
violet spinels, and Sudermania even
bluish-gray ones. 1t can be seen at
once, therefore, how extremely err
roneous would be classification of
gems by color or general appearance
alone. The primitive form of the spinel
ruby is like that of the diamond, eight
sided, which distinguishes it at once
from the oriental stone.
The color of the genuine ruby is that
of arterial blood. or pigeons blood, as
it is called. It is extremely hard, and.
after the sapphire, is the hardest of the
corundums, which renders it difficult to
understand why the earth SO rarely
gives it up. It's tint is as beautiful by
artificial light as by day, and it's powers
of refraction so great that ancient be-
lief credited it with power of emitting
light. The ancients even supposed that
it would shine through clothing with
undiminished power.
The largest ruby known is one men,
toned by Chardin as having been en-
graved with the name of Sheik Sephy.
Another noble ruby is in the possession
of the shah of Persia. It's weight is put
at one hundred and seventy-fve carats.
A third, belonging to the king OF Usa-
par, was cut into a hemispherical form
and in 1858 was bought for thirteen
thousand eight hundred and sixty-six
dollars A ruby possessed by Gustavus
Adolphus, and presented to the czarina
at the time of his journey to st. Peters
burg, was the size Of a small hens egg.

A short time ago, says the New YORK;
Recorder, the queen regent Of Spain
wrote to his holiness the pope asking
him to grant a bishopric to il poor and
h,1snble priest, and the son Of a Tyroless
shepherd. The interest shown by the
young sovereign in this peasants sou
had it's source in an incident which took
place when Maria Christina was d little
archduchess of live years.
She was one day roaming about thss
hills with her governess when (: violent
storm came on, and they took shelter in
shepherds hut which was near at
land. little boy was amusing him
self with some pebbles in corner CT
the miserable dwelling when they en-
tered.
Resenting the sudden Intrusion. the
boy marched up to the little arch
duchess and gave her a smart blow on
the back. Poor Maria Christina, offend
ed and hurt by this extraordinary &C
ton, burst into a. violent fit of weeping,
and was pacifed with the utmost diff
Guilty.
A few years later, when her imperial
highness partook of her first com1nun-
ion, she expressed a desire of paying
for the dresses worn by some poor com
municants, among whom happened to
be the boy who had once struck her..
She remembered him at once, and hear
ing that he wished to become priest
she undertook to defray all the expenses
of his education.
Ever since that day the queen has
been a true friend to the poor priest,
and she wrote to him before asking
from the pope the bishopric above mem
toned, saying:

cause you know SO we'll how to cress-

In this word, which means the laying

sly allusion to the time when, as boy,

prohibited from crossing the bounda-

POPE LEO'S MODE OF LIFE.

Although Eighty-Two Years Old, Fills
Health Bellies All Rumors.
The pope was eighty-two years of age
on March 9. Leo XIII. has now occu-
pied the chair Of St. Peter for fourteen
years, and although there have been
many z-u1nors of the unsatisfactory state
of his health lately there seems to be 10
good reason why he should not occupy it
for good many years longer, says the
Pail Mall Budget. His holiness mode
Of life is of the simplest. He usually
rises at 6 o'clock in the morning, offers
the sacrifice of the mass and then be-
gins his working day.
For breakfast he has single glass Of
coffee, tea or milk, and after going
through his papers begins to receive
about nine. From that hour till one in
the afternoon the throng Of visitors
never slackens. He then returns to his
papers and his books until three, when
he dimes.

ii little soup, two courses of meat
with vegetables, and dessert Of fruit,
with one glass Of wine. After dinner
he goes out for drive or q walk in the
gardens of the vatican. He afterward
resumes his papers. Between nine and
ten o'clock all the papal household as"
semble for the rosary and then retire to
rest.
Although the pope wears spectacles
when reading his eyesight continues
very good. When he was a young man
he was very shortsighted, but as he
grew older his sight became better, and
at seventy it was better than
when he was twenty years of age. A

Parrocchi, who is believed in many
quarters to be heir-presrlmptive to the
chair of St. Peter. When the cardinal
had wished him Il happy new year the
pope said, with a twinkle in his
eye: "Thank you, thank you, your
e1ninence; hope to be still here on
the eve of next year to receive once
more your sincere congratulations"
