land, with its accompanying titles. at
the age of 6, says the London Illustrat-

tor was Flonentine noble. who, after
a sojourn in Normandy, settled N Eng
land and became a great favOrite with
Edward the COnfessOr. At the con-
quest he was treated by the Noimans
as a fellow cuuntryman and retained
the prosGs sions he had acquired under
the Saxon rule. He belonged to the
Italian family of Gherardini, which
name was transformed in course of
time to Geraldini, and established the
Irish clan Of the FitZgeralds. Probably
the youthful duke is not deeply inter-
ested in this part of his ancestry, but.

Lady Alexandra Duff,

mother. Were the prince Of Wales and
the queen to die, and to be followed to
the grave by the duchess Of Fife and
the duke of York, the latter without
leaving any family, little Miss Duff
would become at once queen of Great
Britain and empress of India, her moth
er being the eldest of the three daugh-
ters of the prince and princess Of
Wales. This is an eventuality, which
the English people by no means relish.
They neither wish to see the duchess
of Fife nor yet her daughter Alexandra
queen of Great Britain, sentiment
due mainly to the personality as well
as to the relatively plebeian origin of
the duke of Fife, who is in no matter
member Of the ancient nobility, and
Is, moreover, associated in all kinds of
financial and commercial enterprises,
besides being the principal managing
partner Of one of the London banks.
Were princess Louise, duchess of Fife,
to become queen, therefore, there would
be some risk, at any rate in the minds
Of the people, that national interest
would be rendered Subservient to the
numerous financial ventures of her huS-
band, the duke, and that the entire
empire would be run by the lord and
master of the young queen as a busi-
ness concern. They fear, in one word
that indisputable proof would be fur
nished thereby of the truth of the first
emperor Napoleon's remark, when he
asserted contemptuously that the Eng
ish were nothing but a nation Of
shOpkeepers."
Another youthful individual whose

matter of fact, says the New York
Tribune, the youth, instead Of max
ing any such move in the direction Of
recovering his grandfathers throne, is
quietly pursuing his studies at the mill
tary academy Of the Wiener Neustadt,
near Vienna. He is nearly eighteen
years old and is the eldest son Of the

band, the Comte d'Eu, the latter son

ATRlCK OF THE TRADE.

Clever Dodge of an Employment
Agency to Drum Up Business.
like every other vocation of men and
women, the employment agent possess
es a device that is peculiar to his par
ticular calling that Is worthy of ell
rollment among the numerous tricks
of the trade" and although it smacks
of deceit it no doubt serves it's purpose
we'll The manner Of operating is this:
A woman of good address" is engaged
by the proprietor of the employment
agency to answer advertisements for
female help. Each morning, when the
days business Is begun, the proprietor
closely scans the want columns Of the
papers, selecting therefrom such adVer-
tisements as he or she may be able to
fill from the list of girls on the appH-
cation book. A list is made out and
given to the before mentioned woman
Of "good address," who Immediately
starts out to secure the situations.
Upon application to the lady of the
house who has advertised for girl"
this woman of good address tells the
mistress that she has read the adver-
tisement in the morning paper and
would like to get the place. Then fol-
lows the usual catechism applicable
tn such cases, and the lady finds to
her great delight that she has at last
discovered Just the girl for whom she
has been looking, oh, so long. There
isn't ANYTHING she can't do, and the
lady has really racked her brain to think
of things. too. She can make lovely
bread, cook any dish imaginable, does
| not object to helping OUT on wash
dav. has no gentlemen company" does
not want the parlor three nights a
week. and will not go home Sundays,
and above all she has such good ad-
dress"
A bargain is struck on the spot; the
new girl will come tomorrow and the
wages are reasonable. The lady hur-
ries down town and orders her adver-
tisement out of the paper, turns away
q dozen or more likely looking girls
who apply for the place during the day,
and finally at night she goes to bed
and falls asleep without care upon
her mind, something she has not done
since the last girl gave her warn
ing"
@But, oh, what a difference in the
morning. When 8 o'clock comes in
stead of the lovely woman Of good
address" who was hired the day before
the hour brings two, maybe three, very
Indifferent specimens of the genus hired,
who exclaim in chorus that they have
come to get that job"
"Why, 1 don't want any help" ex-
claims the lady of the house; "I've
engaged a girl" and she makes a mo-
ton to close the door on the unwelcome
callers.
"Oh, yes; we know" return the cho-
rus, but Miss can't come. She's
sick; and she told us to come and get
the place because you wanted a girl.
So we've come"
The girls" are dismissed with but
little ceremony, yet not until the lady
has learned that they came from No.
= street, where an employment
agency is known to be, and after COM
pairing notes with a few friends who
had a similar experience the lady re-
solves to beware in the future of the
woman Of good address. ."-Rochester

Hitherto he has been brought up with

storm the national capital with choco-
late creams and blockade Bahia, with

MOLECULAR LIFE IN DIAMONDS.

Gems Declared to be Masses Of Enor~
mOualy Active Atoms.
If you think your polished diamond Is
a mere aggregation of inanimate crys-
tails you are AVA" wrong If you imag-
inc that its compoEents are devoid or
orderly, coherent motion, you are equal
ly mistaken. 1t has come to pass that
we are given to understand that dia-
monds are masses Of active molecules.
Inasmuch as every compact body Is
composed of multitudes Of exceedingly
small yet not mdiStnguishable mole
cules, 1t might be concluded that IN
solid, at least, these particles would be
clustered together in an indvlslble
mass. This theory as applied to dia-
monds is incorrect, and has been COM
pletely overthrown by the researches
and experimentation of Sir Robert
Ball of Liverpool The facts set forth
by Mr.. Ball with reference to the struc-
tllre of the diamond are fascinating. lie
asserts that were the senSibility OF our
eyes increased so as to make them a
few million times more powerful 1t
would be seen that the diamond atoms,
which form the perfect gem when ag-
gregated in sufficient myrlads, are eacn
in a condition of rapid movement or
the most complex description.
Each molecule would be seen swing
ing to and fro with the utmost violence
among the neighboring molecules ana
oulvering from the shocks 1t receives
from encounters with other molecules.
The hardness and impentrabiity so
characteristic would at first sight seem
to refute the supposition that 1t is no
more than a cluster of rapidly moving
particles; but the well known 1mpene-
trability of the gem arises from the
fact that, when attempt is made TO
press a steel point into stone, 1t falls'
because the rapidly moving molecules
Of the stone batter the metal win Such
extraordinary vehemence that they re-
fuse to allow it to penetrate or even ~
mark the crystallized surface.
When glass is cut with diamond W tne
! edge which seems so hard Is really
composed of rapidly moving atoms. Inc
glass which is cut is also mass OF
moving molecules, and what seems 10
hannen is that as the diamond Is press
cd forward its several particles, by
their superior vigor, drive the little par
ticlps of glass out Of the way.

The checkered history of Ireland seems
to be embodied in the annals Of the

ill-fated of them all was Lord Edward
Fitzgerald who conspired against the
British government and was betrayed
by Samuel Turner, the most infamous

was killed in a duel, but his services to
the government were unsuspected until
recent years. Lord Edwards treason

Hhere sat an old black hen. He Won
dered that she did not move her head to
look at him as he came near her, but
