Tho Hereditary Rsoti.ck.

The venerable countess of Rothes,
who has just died, had the right to
perform . ceremony on any occasion
when the sovereign of Scotland visited
the kingdom of Fife which might
have given her the title of hereditary
grand bootjack." BY an old feudal
custom the head Of the Rothes family
when the king returned to Falkland
palace from the hunt had to pull of
the royal boots and invest the royal
feet in ease-giving slippers. Royalty
does not often visit Fiteshire nova
days, but when the queen paid her
first visit to the Tay bridge the countess
claimed and was allowed her ancient
privilege. A small temporary plat
form was erected by the side of the
railway few miles from Coupar Fife,
and here the royal train stopped for .
few minutes. Her majesty shook
hands with the countess and the lat
ter handed pair of sewed slippers to
the queen, the act of taking of tho
royal boots being understood to be
covered by the presentation Of the
slippers.

VICTORIA'S CROWN.

It Is Worth . Million and . Half Of
Dollars.
The crown worn by Victoria weighs
nearly two pounds, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. 1t comprises more than
5000 precious stones set in various de-
signs. The most prominent gem is the
ruby given to Edward, the black
prince, by Pedro, king Of CASTLE. 1t
is in the front of the crown, set in a
Maltese cross composed of seventy-fve
large diamonds. The lower part of
the crown band contains row of 129
pearls, the upper part 112. Between
them and in front is large sapphire.
Back of that again is a smaller sap
phire surrounded by six others and
eight emeralds. Between the two
larger sapphires are designs contain
ing 2s6 diamonds. Above the band are
eight more sapphires surmounted by
eight diamonds, and the same number
of festoons contain 100 diamonds. Be-
sides the Maltese cross there are three
others around tho upper part Of the
o~n containing 3S6 diamonds, and
between the four are four ornaments,
each with a ruby in the center and
containing respectively 81, SO, IS and
81 diamonds. From the crosses rise
four arches composed of oak leaves and
acorns, the leaves containing 72s dia-
monds. The thirty-two acorns are
each of a single pearl, and are set in
cups made Of fifty-four diamonds.
Above the arches stands the mound,
containing 55s diamonds, and above
the mound is the cross, containing 3
very large sapphire, four very large
and 10S smaller diamonds. All the
stones are genuine, and not, as in some
other European crowns, colored glass,
which has replaced the genuine stones.
The crown entire is valued at 81 $780,
600.

THE PoPuLous BAY STATE.
Massachusetts, Has Twenty Cities, Eacl
Having Over 10000 Population.

Massachusetts Has Twenty Cities, Each
Having Over 10000 Population.
Virginia and half of the states in the
union combined show no more cities of
over twenty thousand inhabitants than
are to be found in Massachusetts,. This
fact is not readily apparent from the
census bulletins thus far issued, says
the New York Evening Post. as in
none of them are cities having less
population than twenty-five thousand
ranged according to their population
rank. The fact is also SO surprising
that few persons will believe it with
out proof. But there is no place at all
with SO many inhabitants as twenty
thousand in nine states-viz., Vermont,
Mississippi, Nevada, Montana, Idaho,
Wyoming, North Dakota and South
Dakota. Nine states again have each
no moro than one town numbering
over twenty thousand people. Those
states are New Hampshire, Delaware,
Maryland, West Virginia, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Louisiana, Ar
kansas and Oregon. Four other states
Maine, Nebraska, Colorado and
Washington-count each only two
cities that have passed the twenty
thousand limit. These three classes
of states amount to twenty-five; that
is, half the whole number of the
United States, and seventeen is the to-
tai of their cities with each census
upward of twenty thousand. Twenty
such cities, however, are in the roll of
Massachusetts. These are Boston,
Worcester, Lowell, Fall River, Cam
bridge, Lynn, Lawrence, Springfield,
New Bedford, Somerville, Holyolze,
Salem, Chelsea, Haverhill, Brockton,
Taunton, Gloucester, Newton, Maiden,
Fitchburg. Three cities of this size
and no more appear in the census of
Virginia-viz., Richmond, Norfolk and
Petersburg.

MARKED BY THE DEVILS HOOP
The Strange Story Told BY IN Old Negro
in Missouri.

| The Strange Story Told BY IN Old Nsgrs
in Missouri.
Henry Rice, an aged negro who re-
sides, or did, not more than a year ago,
at Rolla, this state, says the st. Louis
Republic, makes what is probably the
most remarkable claim that ever came
from the mouth of human being
viz: That he had sold his soul to the
devil and that his Satanic majesty
sealed the bargain by putting his trade
mark on the negro's breast. In sup
port of this preprosterous statement
Rice exhibits deep scar situated di-
rectly over the heart, which appears
to have been burned deep into the flesh
with a branding iron about the shape
and size of the hoof of a two-year-old
heifer. This scar, the old negro de-
clares, is the print or mark of the
devils hoof. and that it is memorial
of compact which he made with the
king of the sulphurous regions away
back in slavery days. According to
the terms of the contract the negro is to
have supernatural powers over his race
during the few feeting days that he
remains a tenant on earth, and that
when all is over his soul is to go-not to
God. who gave il, but TO the devil, who
has marked it as his own. When Rice
and the devil had settled on the condi-
tons outlined above the lessee of the
negros soul placed his cloven hoof
over the heart of the wicked old Afri-
can and left its indelible impress as
- <,,%,
right to burn the old man to his hearts
content.
