ROYAL Perauisites.

A remarkable list of royal perquisites
might be made out, and it is very evident
that our gracious sovereign does not re-
ceive in the annual course of events one
tenth of the articles to which she is enti-
tied. She might not know what to do
with them, but that is another matter.
There should be, for example, coming in
every year tablecloth worth 8 shillings.
two white doves, two white hares, cata-
pult, pound of cumin seed, horse and
halter, one pair of scarlet hose, curry
comb, pair of tongs, crossbow, a coat OF
gray fur, nightcap worth a halfpenny, q
lance worth 2 shillings, falcon, silver
needle from the royal tailor and one very
good and one very bad knife.
Such are few of the numerous and
whimsical perquisites once claimed by the
sovereign, another curious one mentioned
by ancient writer's being that when whale
was captured on the coasts it was to be di-
vided between the king and the qneen, the
former taking the head and the latter the
tail. The rers son of this division was stat
ed to be shat the queens wardrobe might
be furnished with whalebone for the due
stiffening of the royal garments.
Whales do not frequent these parts to
any great extent nowadays, but every stur-
geon brought to LAM. belongs by right to
the queen. One Of these royal fish, caught
in the Thames, figured at her wedding ban
ouet.-T,nneton 1it-Bits.

SPECIMEN PRECIOUS STONES.
They Are Gems of the Utmost Perfection
and Are Very Rare.

. = .
They Are Gems of the Utmost Perfection
and Are Very Rare.
Before the existence of specimen stones"
becomes, through the drain of them to
America, Il thing of the past for us, it may
be well to say few words about things
which very few people have ever seen and
henceforward have little chance of seeing.
The word. specimen stone'' explains that
it is gem of the utmost perfection, put
few know how rare and precious it is and
how little it differs to the eye OF any but
an expert from an ordinary example OF this
kind. Specimen stones are masc9line lux
uries. They are never set, because even
the most delicate setting might hide de-
fects which would make them compare
lively yaIueless. The desire to possess
them constitutes the last infirm1ty OF no
blemen, for not only are they the most con-
centrated possible form OF property, but
the appreciation of them Is most exclusive
form Of culture.
1t may seem strange, but it is true, that
there are probably not so persons in Eng
land who can tell a diamond worth El0O
q carat from one worth e25, and OF these
80 not dozen are jewellers The trade IN
specimen stones is wholly in the hands OF
four or five great firms, and minor dealers,
who have no custom for this class of gems,
know almost as little about them as the
laity. It takes years Of practice, with such
rarity of opportunity as the market affords.
to train the eye to recognize exactly the
orthodox color Of the ruby, emerald or sap
phire, and to distinguish q brilliant of the
first water from an ordinary Zine stonep
demands delicacy of vision which most
persons could never acquire.
Stones may be divided into four distinct
classes. Poor stones, obviously bad in color
and full OF clouds, flaws" and "feath-
ers'' may be bought Zone marvels who buys
them) at comparatively exceedingly low
prices The value of two rubies OF the
same size, for example, might be severally
Ell and e1 900 per carat Then come ordl-
nary stones stones which lady may wear
without discredit-their flaws and the pow
erty of their color not being such as to be-
tray them in the wearing except to prac-
ticed eye. OF such stones consist SO per
cent Of those worn even by rich women
ssFine stones, being of thrice the value, are
only to be seen on the persons OF those who
are fastidious as we'll as rich, for though
commonly good judge can detect the diff
ference at once there is too great tempta-

The rush at the Worlds Fair ticket
Office is so great that much inconvenience
is saved by securing tickets in advance.
This has been done for the personally
conducted Chicago party which leaves
Portland on Monday, at 80 a. M, over
che Grand Trunk railway. Each member
of the party will be provided with six
admissions to the fair on arriving at
Chicago. This arrangement will obviate
the delay and personal discomfort insep-
arabic from attempting to secure tickets
on the grounds. Any members of the
party not desiring to visit the fair can
have the value Of their unused tickets re-
bated.
