CROMWELL AND HIS HORSES.
An Accident That Befell the Protector
While Driving In Hyde Park.

An Accident That Befell the Protector
While Driving In Hyde Park.
G. H. Firth, in an article on Oliver
Cromwell's S association with horses, says
in Macmillan S Magazine:
GAS Cromwell rose in power and rank
his love of horses began to be more con-
spicuous. When he started from Lon
don in 1649 to reconquer Ireland, he
went forth in that state and equipage as
the like hath hardly been seen himself
in coach with six gallant Flanders
mares, reddish gray" In 1865, when
the Spanish ambassador took his leave
of the lord protector, Cromwell sent
him 'his own coach Of six white
horses" to convey him to and from
Whitehall. Certain it is" adds the
narrator, "that none of the English
kings had ever any SUCH.
The protector was not much of a
whip, however. In 1854 the Count Of
Oldenburg sent Cromwell a present of
six horses, and the protectors anxiety
to make trial of their quality led to his
well known adventure in Hyde park.
On Friday, Sept 30, he went with Sec
retary Thurloe and some of his gentle
men to take air in the park, ordered the
six horses to be harnessed to his coach,
put Thurloe inside of it and undertook
to drive himself. ''His highness, said
a letter from the Dutch ambassador,
''drove pretty handsomely for some
time, but at last, provoking those horses
too much with the whip, they grew I'M
ruly, whereby his highness was flung
out of the coach box upon the ground.
His foot getting hold in the tackling,
he was carried away good while in
that posture, but at last he got his foot
clear, and so camo to escape. He was
presently brought home, and let blood,
and after some rest taken is now well
again. The secretary, being hurt on his
ankle with leaping out of the coach,
hath been forced to keep his chamber
hitherto and been unfit for any bust
ness -
The royalist Scroggs. afterward chief
Justice, writing Of this incident, hoped
that the next fall would be from a cart
limiting at tho gallows. AS to Crom-
wells views on the burning question @.
horse racing, it is difficult to arrive a
q positive conclusion. His constant ain.
was to possess as many good horses
he could afford. Whether he onterc,
his horses for races or lad the satisfac
tion of owning winner history doe
not scy.

Chinese Pawnbrpkers.

Among the Canton lDouses there are
occasional exceptions torhe general one
storied or low constructions. Some of
these are built like square towers four
or five stories high, with no outside
windows save at considerable distance
above the ground and no outside pro-
jections by which thieves might climb
up. These establishments are called
pawnshops, but they appeared to me
moro to resemble our banks where we
place deeds and other valuables for safe
ty. I understand it is usual among the
Chinese to deposit their possessions of
value, when not III use, i'll these estab-
lishments. The people also store there
during summer their winter clothing,
and loans may be obtained against the
goods stored. To have dealings with a
pawnshop is in no way considered de-
rogatory to a Chinese gentleman's dig
nifty. Florence O'Drisooll, M. p, in

Roman House Heaters.

Methods used by the Romans for
warming their houses were clever. In
Rome itself artificial warmth may have
been brought rarely into use, though the
italian winter requires fires at times,
but when the Roman took up his abode
abroad as the conGueror he certainly
lived in chilly climates. In the country
houses he built in England he had care
fully devised heating arrangements,
which are called hypocausts. These are
fues srunningunder the tessellated floors.
Fires were lit outside of the house, and
the hot air passed under the floors. Tc
do thus much required a knowledge os
the builders art, with the necessary
precautions against fire. Remnants of
these hypocausts are found today III

patton. New York Times.

BUYING PRECIOUS STONES.
Gomo of the Valuable Gems and What
They Are Made OF.

Some of tho Valuable Gems and What
They Are Made OF.
Buying jewels is as hazardous . Guy
ing horses, and could anything possibly
be more risky than the latter? White
sapphires have occasionally been sold as
diamonds, and as proof that white topaz
may easily be confused with them one
has only to recall the fact that the lar
gest diamond in the world, the Rragan-
"a, belonging to the crown Of Portugal
and valued at GjS, coo, 600, is By many
considered to be only topaz. Carbon,
in pure crystallized state, is in every
color Of the rainbow, red, orange, green,
blue and even black, and occasionally
the colored are as valuable as brilliant
OF the same size.
The jewels next in hardness to the
diamond are the sapphire and the ruby.
called by experts corundum, or crystal
lized clay. Blue corurdum is called sap
phire; red, ruby; green, oriental emcr-
aid; orange, oriental topaz, and violet,
oriental amethyst. Tho word oriental
distinguishes these from real emerald,
topaz and amethyst, which are distinct
minerals.
The largest and most famous ruby in
the world forms part of the imperial
state crown made for Queen Victoria in
1888 1t is believed that this ruby was
worn in front of the helmet of Henry Y
at Agincourt.
The most precious sapphiros and ru-
bies, when cut and polished. show rays
from the center to the sides in the form
of a six pointed star. On this account
they are called star sapphires or rubies.
1t is difficult to produce gem upon
these stones on account Of their exceed
ing hardness, bat there are few good
intaglios and canoes extant III both
one, cameo head of Cupid, by 1sler,
one sapphire; another, front face
cameo head of Diana ON ruby, by Pts
trucci.
Topaz is the next jewel in degree of
hardness IL consists Of about half clay,
one-third flint and the rest fiuoric acid.
The best are yellow, with sometimes 2
greenish tinge. Some found IN Brazil
are perfectly colorless and are called
"novamina" diamonds They are more
brilliant when polished than any jewel.
There are few blue topazes found
these are taken by the uninitiated for
sapphires. .-Philadelphia Press.

The Barometer of the Senate.

The movements of the press gallery
overlooking the Senate chamber are
doubtless the safest barometer Of the
Importance of the doings on the fool
below. If the gallery seats ore well
taken up, something is surely trans
piring in the chamber that is worth
watching. If they are empty, the pro-
ceeding are apt to possess no interest.
The public may be mistaken and the
visitors galleries may be overaowing,
but the curiosity seekers do not pos
sess the delicate instinct of foretelling
impending crises, and if the press gal
lery be empty, though expectancy be
written on every face that peers down
from the crowded balconies, no sladia.
torial feats of competing oratory need
be looked for, and disappointment will
overtake him who disregards the signs.
This was we'll illustrated yesterday.
When Mr.. German arose to reply tc
Senator Sherman not more than two
or three heads appeared above the row
of seats in the press gallery. Once OF

tered tier of vacant seats; but he
had not got far into his subject before
head after head appeared over thero"
of desks, and as if by some subtle
magic, forty or fifty men were in their
seats following the debate with close
attention and mentally registering
their comments on the proceeding.
Each man had come from different
direction and from every conceivable
corner of the vast block of corridors
and the committee rooms. No one
had told them what was on. 1t was
the indefnable instinct of impend
ing news developments. .-Wsshington
