THE JEWELS OF THE czARlNA.

No Other Woman Wears as Many Gems
as the Russian Empress.
No woman in the world wears so
many jewels as the czarina. Even her
sister, who, when she comes to the En-
glish throne, will wear the kohinoor,
will not have such magnificent jewels
or wear so many of them at one time.
The Russian crown jewels are some
thing simply fabulous 1t is to be
doubted whether anyone outside of
that country has any definite concep-
tion of the extent of the Remanoff pos
sessions in the way of gems and
precious stones.
The Russians still retain their old
barbaric love of splendor, and when the
empress shows herself she is vision of
unmatched gorgeousnesS. She is one
of the few monarchs of Europe who still
make practice of wearing crown on
great occasions.
Most of the European queens and en-
presses content themselves with tiara.
Even Queen Victoria on the occasion of
her jubilee levees wore only one of the
diamond tiaras, such as may be seen on
the heads of women in the boxes of the
opera house.
But the c2arina wears a real crown.
There are several she uses, but the
favorite one is that made and worn by
the great Elizabeth of Russia, and
which is loaded with gems of great
price. The pearls alone are said to be
valued at something like 80, 900 rubles.
When the empress danced with the
Austrian ambassado" recently causing
the significant fact to be flashed around
the world before morning, she was ar
rayed in u fashion of which Solomon
never dreamed nor Balllis ever saw.
On her head was the Elizabethau
crown, Her gown was of heavy, white
watered silk with white velvet train,
embroidered heavily in gold and hung
with gold balls all around the edges.
The front of the gown was ornamented
with ropes of pink coral set in diamonds
and fastened at intervals to the dress
The necklace she wore contained over
1000 stones and reached nearly from
neck to waist-a mass of rubies, sap
phires and damon s-a verita BILE breast
plate of glistening gems
Besides this she wore on her breast
about half of her orders--vshe has over
forty in all-and they, too, were fash
ing with precious stone.
Her rings, bracelets and earrings were
all equally magnificent, and as she
danced it was like tine northern lights
in misty sky. myriad flashing ruys
of all colors glittering and changing
with every ovem'nt.-l}oston Globe.

The steamer Wilmington arrived in
Puget sound recently, with cat on
board, which had developed the mater
nal instinct to an extraordinary degree.
Some months before, the officers say,
she adopted the kitten of another cat,
which had died Still later sne adopted
another kitten, and then she made an
astonishing addition to her family In
rumaging in the ships hold, she discov-
cred and killed an old mouse, which
had two baby mice. These the old cat
tcnderly carried to her quarters and
raised, in company with the kittens.
When the ship came into port, the two

roomed together in box, as happy as

beholders. -Goldcn Days.

An Editors Dream.

The editor sat on hard-bottom-
ed chair, trying to think thought,
and he plunged all his fingers
through his hair, but no topic they
brought. He had written on tenn
perance, tariff and trade, and the
prospects of making a good crop,
and had joked about ice cream and
weak lemonade, till his readers had
told him to stop. And weary of
thinking, sleep came to his eyes, and
he pillowed his head upon his desk /;
when the thoughts which awake had
refused to arise, came in troops that
were thick and grotesque. And, as
the ideas fairly float, he sleeps the
bright one of the tribe, and this is
the gem which, while dreaming he
wrote: snow is the time to SUBJ

face of the monk and smiled.
All lad, bless thee for the friend.
"Thy light misleadeth not. Thy smile
betrayeth not, though sweet as that
which wins and damns,'" quoted the

This talk upon the mountain top left
Philip wondering much, and after that
Brother Joseph was always in his
mind He did not quite understand,
but he pondered much in his heart.
When the rough season came to the
valley the young apple-vender grew
weaker His sufferings were great and
long. Then he became an embodied
lesson in patience. He still kept his
stand, when he could leave his barn
loft and get to it. In the most inclem-
ent weather he was sheltered by Il
canvas which Brother Joseph tackled
up for him.
Then came the time when he could
not leave his loft, and his suffcrings
were intense. Brother Joseph sat with
him every day. He would not have
left him for all the vows in the black
volumes. He brought a jug of wine
under his robe, and kept Philip alive
on it. They could not think of a doc
tor.
One night he poured out their last
drop of wine from the jug. 1t did not
matter, for Philip would need no more.
The vesper bell over the monastery
gate rang out through the valley, and
the boy suddenly gave his hand to his
friend.
"There is the bell, Brother Joseph.
1t is calling us. Will you say some
beads for me?'
1.-The bell, lad, will never call me
again. l shall stay with you said the
monk, knecling down by the boy.
There was long silence.
And after?' asked Philip, very
softly.
Il will go back to the world and do
my work in it," said Brother Joseph
solcmnly.
"And you will not forget Philip,
fricnd?' asked the boy, in a last breath.
when l do, lad, may God forget
Brother Joseph"
In the cold and barren loft the vii
layers found the boys body with the
monks cloak thrown over it, Each
had gone his way into new life. Il.
