THE GROWN OF SCOTLAND.
It Is Supposed to Have Been Worn by
 Robert Bruce.

lt As supposed to Have Been Worn by
 Robert Bruce.
 once precious diadem, which is now only an historical relic of much interest, is the crown of the Scotch kings, kept in the castle of Edinburgh. It is supposed, says the St. Louis Re public, to have been made for Robert Bruce, and is formed of two circles of gold, the upper and narrower circlet being surmounted by row of crosses and gem-incrusted imitation flowers. The lower ring, the head band proper, is adorned from end to end of the golden band with large precious stones of different kinds, mostly in their rough, unpublished state. Above rise two arches of gold, which unite and are surmounted with the historic 'cross and ball." Even when the Stuarts became kings of England they went to the trouble of going to Scot land to seat themselves for a few mo- ments upon the celebrated 'stone of Scone' and to have King Bruce's dia- dem pressed upon their royal heads. Charles l. declared his intention of re- moving Scotland's famous relic to Lon don, so that such ceremonies could be carried out at home, but the sturdy Scots soon convinced him that such a proceeding would be an infringement upon their rights, so the king had to go to Edinburgh as others had done before. The wife of a preacher by the name of Granger once stole the Scotch crown and the other royal in- signia-this in 16t3 or 1853. At the time of the restoration they were transferred to Charles II. They were returned to Edinburgh castle in 17O7, and have remained there ever since.

TOLD OF HARRISON.

Good Stories Relating to Chtcago's Mur-
 dered Mayor.
 Carter H. Harrison, the late mayor of the city of Chicago, was a great talker. He talked to everybody-any- body. He talked about everything. He had travelled and seen much. He was unlike Bayard Taylor, of whom Baron Humboldt said: "He has travelled more and seen less than any man I ever saw"
 By the way, when Mir. Harrison trav- eled in Europe in 1851 he was in Mir Taylor's company. They were in Asia Minor together. MT. Taylor had not mentioned the fact in his book, but MT. Harrison told it often enough, so that it makes no difference.
 When Mir. Harrison was in England. on that trip, he walked most of the time. He slept out, and mingled with everybody. He sat down to eat at the table of noblemen one day, and he ate in their kitchen the next. This was a fancy of his, and he liked it.
 Coming from the fighting stock he did, his own nature being of the ag- gressive sort, he was, nevertheless, op- posed to the dueling system. On one occasion he expected to be called out. He had a personal difficulty with young blood about girl. He used chair and the blood used knife. The latter was disarmed. Young Harrison expected to hear further from him. and went home, where he con suited a colored boy, his servant, about the chances for fight. The colored boy gave a lurid description of the young blood's ability to cut string at any distance with pistol ball. Young Harrison was a good rifle shot. He took his gun and servant out into a forest to practice. A sapling was selected as the opposing party. The colored boy took his place as second. He gave the word, and the crack of the rifle rang through the woods Young Harrison dropped the rife and, with his second, rushed to the target. He had buried bullet in the place marked iv- the antagonists heart. The darky showed his worries, and ordered another shot. The prac- tice continued until the darlly declared that the bullets were being driven out at the other side of the sapling.
 ''Ef you shoot dat way at a white man, Massa Catah, you'll be president of the United States some day, suah."
 The challenge never came. There is a suspicion that the darky notified the young blood of ''Massa Catah's' unerr7 ing aim

RUNS SONTHEB BANK OF ENGLAND
The Famous Bank Has Suspended Many Times and Has Been Accorded Favors.


 The Bank of England has never failed, though, according to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, it has more than once suspended payment and sev eral times has come very near to fail ing. In 1896, two years after it began business, the bank was compelled to suspend payment, its notes being at discount of twenty pei cent In 1745, on account of the invasion of Prince Charles Stewart, the Young Pretender, there was run on the bank, which was met by paying drafts and notes in shillings and siXpences. In 1797 there was another run on the bank, which MT. Pitt and Mir. Dundas feared that it might not be able to meet, so on Sun day. February 26, an order in council was issued forbidding the bank to pay cash, and this order was approved by parliament. On May 1, 1893, the bank again paid it's notes in coin In Decem- Der, 1895, I:s the middle of another panic run on the bank began. The bank would probably have gone under had not a number of one-pound notes been discovered in box. These were paid out and the panic and run sub sided. Feels act of 1S44 allowed the bank to issue notes to the amount of fifteen million pounds, based on gov ernment securities, but for every note issued in excess of that amount re- quired actual gold to be kept in re- serve. In 1847 the bank was in trouble again, and Lord John Russell, the pre- mier, relaxed" the bank act so as to permit the bark to issue notes unse- cured by gold, but the relaxation was not availed of. In 1857, during the panic, the act was relaxed a second time, and two million pounds of notes were issued unsecured by gold; and a third time, in 1866, the act was sus- pended, although a further issue of notes was found unnecessary.

Recent Russian Regulations.

The latest ukase of the czar of all the Russians regulates and restricts the fees that may be demanded by medical practitioners for their services throughout his dominions. The popu- lation, according to the Boston Herald, is divided into three classes, the one composed of the nobles, the capitalists, the landowners, the manufacturers, the bankers, the principal merchants and members of the civil, military and naval service. The second class com prises lawyers, parsons and profes- sional men, while class three consists of the balance of the population. For patients belonging to the first class the fee is limited to rubles, or $2.75, for each consultation; those forming the second class may pay not more

THE OFFICIAL WATER SUPPLY.

THE OFFICIAL WATER SUPPLY.
 The United States geological survey has completed it's investigation of the water resources of the United States. That part of the investigation bearing upon the availability of water for irri- gating arid lands of the west will of course be more interesting to the peo- ble of Arizona or perhaps only the peo- pie of Arizona who are already quite wellinformed on this subject will be cur ious to learn the views of the geological survey.
 Biologist Newell informs us in ad- vance that there is not enough water that not 10 per cent of the lands owned by the government can ever be irri- gated. 'In fact," says he, "there is not sufficient supply of water to bring under cultivation an area equal to that which has passed into the hands ot in- dividuals and corporations"
 This is certainly lugubrious pros- peet for the arid region and argues against any further development of this great inter-mountain area which we have been wont to picture as an early future garden rivalling in luxurious ness and fertility the valley of the Nile the lower Ganges and whatever other spots have become synonyms for fer. tility.
 Fortunately the finding of the geologi cal survey is not binding; nor is it re- liable; nor does it set forth existing conditions or facts; nor does it serve any other purpose than to provide the theoretical gentlemen who have been engaged in it handsome unearned salaries.
 It will be observed that the views ot Geologist Newell are precisely the same az those of that scientific blatherskite Maj. Powell, whose promulgat1on O. them made him butt of ridicule and indignation at the late irrigation con gress at Los Angeles.
 Experience has taught us who arc able to engage in simple mathematics calculation and to consider the possibili ties of the construction of reservoir that every acre of land in tho Sal River valley is susceptible to irrigation

Terrible Tides.

Statistics regarding the tides in the Bay of Fundy are so startling as to seem almost incredible. At Grand Manan the fall is from twelve to if teen feet, at Lubec and Passport twenty feet, at St. John from twenty four to thirty feet, at Moncton, on the bend of the Petitcodiac, seventy feet, while the distance between high and low water mark on the Cobequid rivel is twelve miles, the river actually be- ing twelve miles longer at high than at low water. Vessels can be run up so far on the food in this river and in the Avon that the ebb will leave them high and dry for sixteen hours, so that they can be repaired between tides.

Newspaper Tax in Turkey.

A peculiar feature in Ottoman jour nalism is the fact that every publisher is required by law to pay revenue tax of two paras, or one-ffth of a cent, per copy printed each issue. This tax is collected by issuing stamps for the purpose, which are to be pasted on each sheet, like postage stamps, be- fore going to press, and cancelled by the printing running over them. In consequence the unfortunate publisher is forced to pay tax on waste copies as well as unsold ones. It is therefore evident that daily paper printing 10000 copies is taxed at $2O least every day in the year.

Going Out with Firecrackers.

An interesting case of ''the ruling passion strong in death' is described by the Toronto Mail. A humorist in Japan who tested all his life told his friends when he was dying that his body was not to be washed after death, but was to be taken at once to the family temple to be cremated. When he died his instructions were followed and the chief priest took the body to the cremation ground. As soon as 1t was set on fire the mourners was as tonished by several loud explosions. At first they were inclined to take to their heels, but curiosity got the bet ter of feal, and careful inspection showed that the humorist had slowed away large number of irecrackers about his person before his death.

Gresham Wants to Dron SIMON.

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-The president
submitted to the senate the correspondence
relative TO Samoa called for by Senator
Gray's resolution of the 9th ult. The cor
respondence itself is very voluminous, COW
ering about 1000 pages, and is in itself OF
little interest save from an historical view.
But in submitting it TO the president Sec
retary Gresham has taken the opportunity
to set out at length his conclusions as to
the workings of the tripartite agreement.
This letter Of the secretary is certain TO
take an important place as a state paper
and to give rise to much discussion and
controversy.
The secretary further declares that we
failed TO help the natives and promoted no
interest Of our own. Our trade was insig-
nifcant, as is shown by the figures. Then
Secretary Gresham describes the present
form of government Of Samoa and asks
"NVhat have we gained by our departure
from our established policy beyond the
expenses, the responsibilities and the en-
tanglements that so far have been its only
fruitsg" He further holds that the treaty
of Berlin has mot only involved us in an
entangling alliance, but has utterly failed
TO correct, If indeed it has not aggravated
the very evils it was designed to prevent. II
