It weighs nearly two pounds, and contains more than three thousand precious stones, five sixths of which are diamonds. The lower part of the band is a row of one hundred and twpnty-nine pearls, the upper part contains one hundred and twelve. Be- tween them, in front, is a large sapphire. Behind is smaller sapphire, with six others and eight emeralds. Between the | two great sapphires are ornaments con- taining two hundred and eghty-six dia- | mOnds. Above the band are eight sap- and eight festOons containing one hundred and sixty diamonds.
 In the front of the crown is the ruby given to the Black Prince by Pedro, king of Castile. This is set.in a Maltese cross, and forming the cross are seventy five large diamonds. Three other crosses, containing three hundred and eighty-six diamonds, are round the upper part of the crown. Between the four crosses are four ornaments with four rubics in their centre, and containing respectively eighty four, eighty five, eighty-six and eighty seven diamonds.
 From the Maltese crosses rise four arches, composed of oak leaves and acOrns, the leaves containing seven hund- red and twenty -eight diamonds. The thirty-two acorns are each of single pearl, and are set in cups made of fifty four diamonds. Above the arches stands the mound, and above the mound is the cross, containing very large sapphire, four very large diamonds and one hundred and eight smaller ones.
 All the stones ale genuine. The value is three hundred thousand pounds. - YowtA'S Companion.
 What use is there in eating when food does you no gOod-in fact, when it does you more harm than good, for such is the case if it is not digested.
 If you have loathing for food there is no use of forcing it down, for it will not be digested. You must restore the diges- tive organs to their natural strength and cause the food to be digested when an ap- petite will come, and with it relish for food.
 The tired, languid feeling will give place to vigor and energy, then you will put flesh on your bones and become strong. The Shaker Digestive Cordial as made by the Mount Lebanon Shakers contains food already digested and is a digester of food as well. Its action is prompt and it's effects permanent.
