A Princess of Wales story.

A lady in waiting to tho Princess of
Wales told IA friend n touching little Incl
len which took place soon after the death
of her son, tho Duke of Clarence. The
princess, with her usual gentle r~eticence,
tried to hide her grief for her frstborn. II
was shown only in her failing health and
increased tender consideration for all
around her. One day while walking with
one of her ladies in the quiet lanes near
Sandringham she met an old woman
weeping bitterly and tottering under a
load of packages. On inquiry it appeared
that she was n carrier and made her living
by shopping and doing errands In the
market town for the country people.
but the weight is too heavy at your
age" said tho princess.
Yes. You're right, ma'am. I'll have
to give it up, andif l give it up I'll starve.
Jack carried them for mo my boy,
ma'am."
"And where Is he now?"
"Jackl He's deadl Oh, he's dead!" the
old woman cried wildly.
Tho princess, without a word, hurried
on, drawing her veil over her face to hide
her tears. A few days later a neat little
cart and a stout donkey were brought to
tho old carriers door. She now travels
with them to and fro, making a comfort
able living, and never has been told the
rank of the friend who has tried to make
her life easier for the sake of her dead boy.

Durabilit Of stone.

The value of the microscope in determin-
Ing In a scientific the probable
durability of building stone Is pronounced
by a writer in Stone rs having been album
dainty proved, becoming, in fact, a practi-
cal factor of tho most positive usefulness.
This Is made evident when, On examining
a section Of the material by means Of that
instrument, there are disclosed not only
the various substances which enter into its
composition, but also the method accord
ing to which they are arranged, and by
which they arc attached to one another.
For example, pyrites is considered to be
the enemy of the quarryman and con-
structor, since 1t decomposes with ease and
stains and discolors the rock. In sharp,
well defined crystals, pyrites sometimes
decompose with great difficulty, aud II a
crystal or grain Of 1t Is imbedded In soft,
porous, light colored sandstone, Its pres
ence will soon demonstrate itself by a
black spot forming about 1t In the porous
stone, the result being permanent disfg-
urement, or If the same grain of pyrites be
located in or near very hard, compact, nom
absorbent stone, the constituent minerals
of which are not rifted or cracked, this
grain may decompose and the products be
washed away, leaving the stone untarnish-

Handled by a Famous London Dealer Who
Has a Stock Worth SO 1000, 600.
/, The two principal things that strike n
during a visit to the establishment of the
greatest gem merchant ii the world, Ed
win Streeter, are the apparently careless
fashion in which precious stones worth
small fortunes are handled and the mag
nitude Of the everyday transactions. Mr..
Strceter has a pearl fishery Of his own in
Broom, West Australia, and the industry
employs about 500 men and % vessels of
from 100 to $50 tons burden. Consign-
incnts Of all kinds Of rough stones come
into the famous Bond street house every
Monday morning.
Which is the most popular stone at the
present day, Mr.. Streeter2" inquired a
writer.
Tho diamond, decidedly" was the re-
ply, but English people arc not nearly
such good buyers as Americans, Austria
lians and native Indian potcntates. The
car of Russia oncc offered mo $3.50, 900 for
a certain blue diamond, but / refused to
sell it ut the time. The most valuable dia-
mond that / ever had, however, was worth
$3.50, 900. Rubics of tho true pigeons
blood color are worth moro than ten times
their weight in diamonds, but arc very
rarely found. Siamcse rubies are frequent
ly sold to private buyers Us Burmese, the
latter being the finest in the world.
Tho sapphire suit of u certain deceased
duchess was once brought to me for valu-
alton, but l instantly pronounced the
stones to be false, and hen Of course there
was some CONSERVATION. Subsequently it
transpired that many years previously her
grace had lost $500, 900 at cards in a single
night and had sold her jewels to pay the
debt, replacing them with some excellent
limitations made in Paris. l may men,
ton, by the way, that large numbers Of Ia
dies among our aristocracy not only depos-
1t their jewels in my strong rooms while
they are travelling abroad, but during tho
London season II large percentage wear
r~rplicas In the real sets and never sec the
latter for years. The latest thing, how
ever, Is "a novel system of insurance. The
lady pays an annual sum Of 5000 or $3.50,
and this covers jewelry to the value of
500, 900. To obviate tho possibility Of
fraud every set TINT is being valued for in
surancc purposes Is photographed and
marked in u special manner. In the event
Of robbery minute descriptions Of the miss
ing property would be telegraphed to every

A Human -skyrocket.

There is a man living in La Crosse
who is known as the human skyrocket
He is a quarryman by occupation and
spends his life in the stone quarries in
the bluffs back of the city and is consid-
cred an expert in getting out rock.
But he had an experience some time
ago which came very ear putting an
end to his career. He was working In
the quarry one day, engaged in putting
in a heavy blast. The charge had been
placed in the hole, and he was tamping
it with a large iron bar when the iron
struck a spark and the charge exploded
When the fash came, the bar was In
the hole, and 1t came out like a shot
from a cannon. The quarryman had
such a tight grip on the iron that he
was carried up with it like a skyrocket
for a distance Of $50 feet or more.
Up, up he went till he could look
over the city and see the winding Mis-
sissippi in the distance.
He was conscious all the time and
realized when he had reached the high
est point and was about to descend.
Then he began to fear that the fall would
kill him.
Unlike Mark Twain's hero, he did
not drop down over the old hole and &c
to work to make up for lost time, but he
fell with a dull thud and was picked up
unconscious. It wa a close call for him,
but a skillful surgeon saved his life.
After his recovery he was asked why
he held on to the bar when the blast
went off.
why" said he, "if I had let that
bar go, it would have been blown into
the state Of Minnesota, and I would
never have found it again. "-Peck's
