THE IRON CROWN OF LoMBARoY.
Has . Band Made from tho Nails Csed al
tho Crucifixi0n.

Has Band Made from the Nails Csed at
tho CruciGxion.
The famous Iron crown of Lombar-
dy." reckoned as being one of the most
precious relics of Jesus now in exist
ence, the holy coat and the several
pieces of the true cross" not excepted,
may be seen any day in the year by the
sightseer who visits the national mu-
scum at Naples. Although known to
ancient, mediaval and modern history
as the iron crown" it is in reality
crown of gold, made in the form of
gigantic bracelet, the only iron in it's
composition being framework in the
shape of circlet-a thin. narrow strip
on the inside of the gold band. The
secret magic of the name rests on the
tradition that this inside ring of iron
was.made from the nails driven through
the hands and feet of Jesus at the time
of His crucifxicn.
We first hear OF this relic in the year
sol A. D.. when it did service at the
coronation of Agilulf at the time when
he was crowned king of the Lom bards.
History estates that it was made espe-
cially for that memorable occasion by
the order of Princess Thuedelinde,
wife of Agiiulf, but the historian neg
lects to tell US where. when, and how
the princess gained possession of the
nails which were hammered into a
framework for her sacred regal in
sigma. The princess was a great
churchwoman. and soon after the
coronation of her husband she caused
the crown to be presented to the church
at Monza.
The next we hear Of it was when it
was used in connection with the cere-
monies at the coronation of Charlie
magne. After this it was used in
crowning all emperOrs whose subtitle
was that of king of Lombardy. In the
year 1906 Napoleon visited Milan for
the express purpose Of examining the
relic, and while SO doing placed it upon
his head with the remark: God has
given it to me. Woe unto him who
shall attempt to wrest it from me-"
Soon after this event the great Ma
poleon founded society known as the
Order of the Iron Crown. which still
flourishes in Austria, where it is reck-
oned the height of honor to be admit
ted to mem bership in the institution.
When Milan was looted in the early
part of the century the iron crown was
taken to Vienna by the Austrians.
There it was kept among the state
treasures, wrapped in a purple velvet
robe that had once been worn by Fred
erick the Great, until the year 1866,
when it was presented to the king Of
Italy, who deposited it in the national
museum at Naples as mentioned in the
openir re.-St. Louis Republic.

DUTY of Railway Enciuec,

The statement is made in regard to
an accident on one Of the best known
trains between Chicago and New York
that along the river the fog had been
the most dense experienced in years.
and it was impossible TO see signal
lights al any distance This is given
as a species of excuse for the negli.
gence of the engineer running into a
freight train at a cost of four lives
But ought such reason be an excuse?
The signals to the engineer are like
the feelers on a lobster; until thew tell
him that all is clear he must assume
that there is no danger head. II anv-
thing prevents the engineer from see
ing them he should stop his train until
he does see them. The great railway
companies should make their employees
clearly understand that safety takes
precedence OF high speed, and this viii
never be the case until il IS an invaris-
bic rule, as it ought TO be on al lines,
that the man who is responsi bic for
passing signal at danger loses his

An Awkward Situation.

A physician of Ocosta. Wash, while
botanizing in the woods near that
place recently, stumbled across a big
black bear. which got annoyed at his
presence and chased him. The rail
road was Il few yards away, and the
doctor took to the track and sprintcd
along it a few yards ahead of the
beast, until long trestle was reached.
when the bear halted and squatted
down to watch the doctor hop along
the ties. When he was third of the
way across a freight train appeared
at the further end. Out on a high
trestlc. with bear waiting for him at
one end and freight train coming for
him from the other, the doctor felt
that the situation was embarrassing.
He dropped TO supporting beam,
hung from the end OF it while the
train passed overhead, and then coz
tinued his way across the trcstle and
home by another route.

Their Unnecessary Distortion When Writ
ten in the English.
From the very beginning of the
modern European conquest and colon
ization. the Indian" names have been
invested chiefly with what is purely a
fapciful and corjectural orthography
in their English writings. There has
been no surviving testimonial. in either
living or dead tongues, fixing the
definite expression of the ancient
words Just as the native man would
have written them had he been pos
sessed of the proper facilities.
Sometimes lthe native names have
been made to appear unnecessarily
grotesque in their writing-in some in
stances as much so as the rude savage
himself appears personally-the fact
illustrated in the writing Youghio-
cheney for simply. Ya-og- and
in Esquemeaux for Es-ka-mo. Many
purely poetic garbs of the old words
have become Incorporated into our per-
manent geographical literature. The
names Mississippi and Tennessee are
examples of the fanciful versions OF
the old aboriginal titles: the former is
supposed to have been in sounds repre-
sented by the English writing Mes-sis-
a-pa, while the oldest historic records
extant showing the latter give the
writing as Ten-assa. What is evident
ly one ancestral word appears in the
modern versions of Shewanee, Sewa-
nee, Suwanee. Swanan and Chowan
The French writing Cheyenne is the
same word in the remote ancestry. as
is now believed V. Moore. in Popu-

All classes have great craving for
tobacco and liquor. Even nursing
babes are seen with quids of tobacco in
their mouths.
During the summer large quantities
of fish are dried, and the oil of the
seal, walrus, and whale put up for win

of the skin of the seal, similar to the
water skins of oriental lands. The oil
is kept sweet by the bags being buried
IN the frozen earth until wanted for
use.
Their household utensils are few and

He had every claim to the command

colonel asked that the appointment be

went to Versailles and obtained an an-

official said that he knew nothing
