manners and singularly insinuating." Ouch
ess Mary took an active part in the politics
of her time. and to prove that she had infiu-
ence and ability, il; is only necessary to turn
back to the chronicles Of the time. Her
home was sort of general rendezvous for
all parties. Many of the greatest men of
the dav frequented il and there came Fred
erick, Prince of Wales, with his Princess
when they qnarreled with George H., and
there in old Norfolk House was born the
future King, George III.
The house of Norfolk stands next to the
blood royal of England. The Duke is the
Earl Marshal and hereditary Marshal of
England. The family name is Howard,
and has lineage running back to the Con-
quest The first duke waS killed with his
master at Bosworth field. Arundel Castle,
the ancestra! home, is one of the largest
and oldest structures of the kind in the
country. It is mentioned as manor in
King Alfred's will That monarch once
made it his royal residence. Many famous
historical incidents have taken place within
its walls.

Rovs,ty.s Collision With Progress.

The German Kaiser's declaration of his
belief in the divine right of kings last week
is practically repetition of what his grand
father said 30 years ago, when the jeweled
crown of Prussia was placed upon his head.
There was one essential difference in the
proceedings following the delivery. In 1861
the people shouted Justify "Amen;" in 1892
they are inconsistent enongh to digress from
the main question and cry for "bread' as
well as kick up ''shindy" right in front of
the Kings palace. -.'.-
The divine right4 Of kings! How queerly
that sounds. And it was only the other
day that this same monarch expressed him
self in favor of anything that represented
progress, or was IN touch with the advanc-
ing age. Perhaps the youthful and alto
gether too impressionable William III: is
blinded by the career of William l., who as
related above held precisely the same ideas
with regard to the kingly prerogative.
However, it would be we'll for the present
monarch not to go too far back in search of
precedents for his pet theory and he has be-
sides neither Salmasius nor Sir Robert
Filmer to back him up against the COM
bined argument and common-sepse of the
entire living world, while in the tombs Of
England, France and his own Fatherland,
the ashes of those slaughtered for maintain.

fear that he might suspect - Invite him

Tn. Noise of Electric Car.

By a new invention of Mr.. John Chris
tiansen, of Quincy, Mass, in the driving
mechanism attached to such motors as have
heretofore been used, most of the noise of
electric street cars is prevented says the
Electric Rdit,cay Advertiser. All the wheels
are driven simultaneously by one small mo-
tor. The wheelsof the car haye serrated
rims, so that ice and snow are no obstacles.
A car equipped with his apparatus has been
operated on the Quincy road during the
recent snow and ice period with remarkable
success.

A Bad whisky Confiagratiop.

think it was Harrigan, the comedian.
who used to play little afterpiece called
"Bad Whisky" or some such suggestive if
not euphonious title. In it an Irishman
came home to his vile intoxicated-not an
unusual condition for him, so it is inti-
mated-and the play treats humorously the
troublous experiences Of the couple. The
Keely cure being as yet uninvented,
the wife tries physical force as q
specific for her man S bad habit. This fail
ing of success, she tries moral suasion as
only woman, and particularly an Irish
soft-spoken reasoning One of the most ef-
fective arguments took the form of story.
Well 1 remember the laughter that story
produced at the time, although the chief
provocation seemed to be its utter alb
surdity. or, at least, it appeared absurd. 1t
was to this effect: A man well known to
the wife. so she said, had been in the habit
Of drinking to such excess that he was fairly
soaked with liquor. One night he came
home in the usual state, tumbled into bed
and fell asleep. After some time he awoke
again and discovered burning candle on .
table near the bed, which he should have
extinguished. Reaching out he takes the
candle in his hand, places it.near his mouth
and blows mighty blast upon it. Imme-
diately, and you ought to have heard this
spoken with brogue, "the fame of the
candle caught fire wild Dinny's breath, ,spon-
taneous combustion ensued and the poor
man was burned to crishp."
Now, in discussion of this very subject
among European scientists it is admitted as
possible, that the body of person addicted
to the use of spirituous liquors might be
consumed under just such circumstances as
were suggested in this seemingly ridiculous
drama. Thus again does the old adage:
'There's many truth spoken in jest"
prove its force.

Fixing Up Imperfect Pearls.

Partisan jewellers some time ago found
out way to remove the outside layers of
the gems of the ocean, when they were not
pretty, so as to reveal the beauty that was
within and render them marketable at big
prices Those pearls which were found i'm
bedded in the mother of pearl of the she'll,
they discovered process for extracting,
treating them aftervard with acid, and rem
dering them of value. In similar fashion
they transform pear shaped ones into per-
feet spheres. Likewise they have found
means to make pearls of any color black in
bath of nitrate of silver. or to turn them
into rose color, lilac, gray or what not.
However, experts know how to detect all of
the deceptions.

The Government rock sharps are engaged
Just now in building imitation mountains,
for the purpose of studying the way in
which the eternal hills were formed by the
crumpHng due to the contraction of the
earths crust. They are built of wax,
hardened or softened by mixing it with
other substances, so that it shall resemble
in consistency the brittle rocks near the sur
face of the earth or the plastic rocks which
are in that condition because Of the great
pressure that exists even at depths of only
two or three miles, as the case may be- The
mixture is cast in layers of given thickness
by melting and flowing it in wooden trough
When each layer has hardened, it is taken
ont, and number OF layers thus made are
superimposed one upon the other like
layers of Jelly cake, representing geological
strata.
The next process is to place the LAYERS in
machine, piling shot on top of them to
represent the force Of gravity, after which
pressure is applied from the ends very
slowly by piston advanced with . screw.
This causes them to crumple up, and under
the artificial contraction they are found to
take precisely the forms of mountain ranges

MISS Cfou0h to attend the Uni
versitv lectures. Girton College had gained
a foothold then, and had extorted recogni-
tion for girl students from the dignifed
dons Of. the great university. But Girton
was three miles from Cambridge, aud this
presented q disagreeable difficulty to those
fair scholars who wanted to attend lectures
delivered outside their own college. 49,.
To remedy this Miss, Clough opened her
modest house just outside the town. She
had five students to begin WITH but the
number increased so rapidly tina. four years
later, in 1878, Miss Clough opened the first
hall at Ne ~nham, called South Hall. The
new college, from such humble beginning,
prospered ahundantly, and the throng Of
candidates for admission wa1ed so great
that in rapid succession two other halls
were added. o. The third hall was finished in
1888 Newnham College now consists of
three halls, namely, Clough Hall, named
after the principal of the college; Sedgwick
Hall, named for Professor Sedgwick, who
was the first to advocate lectures for women
in Cambridge and for his wife. who was for
two wears vice principal of Newnham Col
lege, and the Old Hall, which was the first
built and originally called South Hall.
Newman is picturesque in architecture.
and situated in the midst of old-fashioned
gardens. Americans who have visited
Newnliam, and it is favorite feature of
Cambridge with travellers generally, may
have had the exquisite pleasure OF meeting
the gracious woman who presides over the
college and who has now passed to her final
vacation. She had a beautiful face,
crowned with hair almost as white
as the lace cap which rested upon
it,, and her eyes dark, deeply
set and luminous were full of kindliness as
we'll as wisdom. Those who did not meet
her in her own temple may remember the
picture of her. painted by J. J. Shannon,

How APUZZLE Was SOLVED,

When you want a certain article, you want
the best make of that article. don't W n?
But how to determine which make s best
is what puzzles you, isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for you,
by authority which cannot be quest oned,
you are pleased, aren't you?
And you would like to hear Of one puz.
zle that has been solved for the pee pie Of
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition Of 1889 at
Paris, France, the best sewing machines of
the world. including those OF America, were
in competition. They were passed upon by a
jury composed of the best foreign mechao
ical experts. two Of whom were the leadin
sewing machine manufacturers of France.
This jury. after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler s.
Wilson machines were the best of all. and
awarded that company the highest prize of
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as further
recognition Of superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the com
rany, with the Cross of the Legion OF
Honor, the most priced honor If France.
That is how the puzzle Of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority III the world in
favor of the No. 8 and NJ. IL Wheeler 6.
Wilson machines.
The No. 0, for family use, and the No 12,
for manufacturing uses, are the best III the
world to-day
And now. when you want g sewing ma
chine, ii you do not get the best, it viii be
your own fault.
