A ROYAL TRAIN.

The Sort of Cars Which Are to Be Provided
For the Cars Convenience.
A new imperial train for the czar of
Russia is at present being built at the
Alexandrowski wagon mandatory at
st. Petersburg. It consists of II car
riages, of which one is reserved for the
railway officials. kitchen carriage and
two luggage vans. With the exception
Of wheels and the axles, which have
been supplied by Krupp, at Essen, the
whole of the material is of Russian or
igin and manufacture. By means of a
very powerful automatic brake the
train can be brought to standstill in a
minimum of time from every one of the
carriages. The interior of the carriages
is appointed with much taste. The win
dows are different on both sides. The
side with the corridor has windows of a
uniform size, while the windows on the
other side are made in accordance with
the requirements of the various COM
partments. The passages between the
various cars are vestibuled.
The carriage of the car and czarina
is connected directly with the dining
room; then come the large saloon car.

The carriages will be sent on a trial

THE PUZZLE OF PUZZLES.

A New and Ingenious Toy Which Is
Now Bamboozling Everybody.
A new and remarkably interesting
adaptation of the famous Fifteen puz-
zle'' has been put upon the market to
entertain the thousands who like to
bother their brains in bringing almost
impossible combinations out of chaos.
The new puzzle, which, from its form
and the intricity of its make is vastly
superior to the old style and is destined
to be even more popular, consists OF
five square wooden blocks, fitted into a
neat and attractive tin box, large
enough to permit the turning over OF
one of the blocks, and thus permitting
of change-by turning one at time
of the position and faces of all OF
them.
The blocks have sunken disks on
each of their six sides, one of which is
colored green, one yellow, one black,
one blue and one white. The problem
is to SO arrange the blocks, by turning
one at time in the single open space,
as to have all of them show one color
uppermost at the same time. The
blocks are also lettered on one side, A,
B, G, D and E. The blocks are first
placed in the box with the letters up
and running in alphabetical order
After they are in this order they are to
be moved by turning from one space to
another until five blacks are turned up,
then five greens, five reds, five blues
and five yellows.
All of the colors having been turned
up, one is then to turn the blocks back,
so as to leave them the way they were
before they were turned into alphabet
cal order. The variations of the blocks
and their position are interesting and
complicated, and as one sees that the
problem is capable of being worked
out, although extremely puzzling, the
interest grows the longer the problem
battles one. The whole arrangement
is put up in an especially attractive
form.
It has already had large sale, and
its popularity bids fair to increase as
it becomes more widely known. Busi-
ness men find it restful and interest
ing occupation to relieve their minds
from the routine of work, without great
mental strain, and everyone thinks it
is SO easy that they all at once start to.
work it out. The minutes grow into
hours, while the worker gets SO tanta-
lizingly close to the solution in every
move that he almost knows the next
one will surely bring it out. But the
endeavor to change one block disar-
ranges the sequence of every one, and
then one has to begin all over again.
The manufacturing company have very
aptly named their ingenious toy the
puzzle of Puzzles.''

Death In California of a Man Who Was
Once q "HiGh Roller In Europe.
I. s. Scenti, who had made and lost
millions almost in day, was found
dead in his cabin on Alamitos beach,
California, few days ago. He had
died from pneumonia.
SCENT had checkered career. Seven
or eight years ago Paris was the scene
of great gambling craze, which was
of short duration. Scenti, who was a
native of Spain and man 60 years of
age. created more excitement in gam
bling circles at the time than did Billy
Hurt. During his short stay in Paris he
managed to make several millions OF
dollars through cards and other gam
bling devices known only in Paris and
Monte Carlo. He lost his gainings as
easily as he won them.
Becoming disguised with the life, he
sailed for New York with quite snug
sum. Several years passed over his head,
and he was without anything save the
valuable jewels and trinkets which he
always carried with him. Misfortune
having overtaken him, as it eventually
does every man of his kind, SCENT came
to California. When he settled in the
little cabin by the sea, he decided to
live and die in obscurity. His life as a
hermit did not last long.
SCENT avoided meeting people when
ever possible. He lived from the sale
of his trinkets and sold them at great
reduction. Francisco Examiner.

THE JAGERsFoNTElN DIAMOND.

Emperor William Watts Sho %, 600, 900
Sparkler For His New Crown.
/ learn from London that the emperor
of Germany is eager to purchase the
big diamond found at the Jagersfontein
mine in July last. This monster gem
turns the scales at 971 carats, and there
seems good reason for believing that it
is the very biggest in the world. It has
been christened the Jagersfontein LEX
celsior.
The Jagersfontein mine, which is sit-
Hated about so miles from Kimberley
and within the territory of the Orange
Free State republic, is owned by COM
pany, many OF the shareholders of which
reside in England and few of them on
the spot. For some time they have sold
the yield of diamonds by public tender
in advance. The contractors for the
purchase of the diamonds in July were
Messrs. Wernheim & Belt, and their
contract expired on the very day this
famous stone was found. Had it been
handed to the manager only few hours
later it would have fallen into other
hands.
The Excelsior" was found by a ma
tive Basuto laborer named Jonas, and
he could easily have secreted it, as has
been done in thousands Of cases, no
doubt, because it happened that he was
working at the time at place where
no diamonds were expected to be found.
However, he promptly placed it in the
hands of the manager, who did not for
considerable time realize its enormous
value. The natives at the mine, as an
encouragement to zeal and honesty, are
allowed a small commission upon the
diamonds they find, and Jonas share
was about $50. This sum to an African
native is quite small fortune, and as
the bonus was supplemented by the gift
of horse. saddle and bride the Basuto
left for his home very proud man.
On the spot the diamond was valued
by the official government inspector at
e25, 900, but when it reached Kimber-
ley bid of e250,000 was made for it.
The offer was declined, and the Lex
celsior" was shipped to Europe. It was
curions sight to see the parcel guard
ed to the Cape Town docks by squad
of cavalry and detachment of police.
1t reached England safely, and imme-
diately the value went up. until now the
owners decline to part with it for less
than 81. 900, 900. 1t has been lodged in
the Bank of England for security. and
at the present time negotiations are pro-
ceeding for its purchase on behalf of the
German emperor. who is having new
crown constructed and has an idea ap-
parently that this particular gem will
add luster to the diadem. He is not,
however, the only bidder in the market,
and it is quite uncertain what will be
the gems ultimate destination.-Jev-
elers' Circular.

From Journal, Lewiston, Mel .
Samuel R. Jordan has just given the

in view of his extremely hard lot for
the past few years will be read with
interest.

would not help me, that they could do
nothing to effect a cure and that in
time should become entirely helpless.

All. Parlin, a resident of Madison,

he had tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for severe case of rheumatism and
spinal and malarial trouble, that he
had suffered in consequence of his army
life, and had been greatly benefited by
their use. By his earnest recommenda
tion I was induced to try the pills.

"Cheer" and Comfort. There
are always chances in life to do both,
for turn where you will, there are those
who are in need of help. Often those
who have every earthly thing they
need-shelter, money, food, clothing,
books, all sorts of opportunities-are in
want of the heavenly things which
"cheer" and comfort mean. They
are depressed, low in their spirits, sad
and troubled. They are even cross and
disagreeable because they are unhappy.
To such persons young people with
bright faces and light hearts, can bring
both the cheer that gives courage and
the comfort that takes away pain. You
haven't to do anything in grand and
heroic manner either. Simply be
yourselves, and let the gladness that is
you will make tired people happier.

car the other day, chatting together in

their station, and went tripping along

A REMARKABLE CASE,
A Bullet Passed Through a st. Louis Mans
Brain, and Yet He Recovered.

A Bullet Passed Through n st. Louis Mans
Brain, and Yet He Recovered.
Emil Witzky, after occupying a cot
at the City hospital for over two months
with bullet in his brain, is now walk
ing about nearly as we'll as any one and
will be discharged cured man in the
course of few days.
Witzky's case is one of the most re-
markable that ever came under the no.
tice of st. Louis surgeons. 1t is much
stranger than that of the man lesson,
who attempted to commit suicide in
Forest park year ago. lesson fingered
between life and death about month,
but finally died from the effects of the
bullet, which lodged in the center of
his head. lesson never got up from his
bed after sending the Ieaden pellet into
his brain, and for that matter was un-
conscious nearly all the time. Witzky
is as rational as any man walking the
streets. He shot himself over the left
eye after having trouble with his wife
and mother-in-law.
From the paralysis it caused in his
right leg DR.. Marks decided that the
ball lodged in the back of his head on
the left side. The jagged hole in the
forehead finally healed over, and after
remaining in half dead state for near
ly week Witzky came to. He was not
able to move for fully a month on ac-
count of the paralysis. No sensation
was in the right leg whatever. Needles
could be thrust into it, or it could be
pinched or burned without his feeling
the pain. Three or four weeks ago the
paralysis began to disappear. 1t was
thought strange indeed by DR.. Marks
and the other physicians, for the bullet
had not been removed, and no reason
was apparent for the 'deadness" to dis
appear. Yet go away it did, and since
that time his recovery has been steady
as clockwork. How that 80 caliber bull
let plunged through six CT eight inches
OF his brain and remained resting among
the tissues without causing instant death
or perpetual idiocy passes the compre-
hension of every scientific man who has
heard of his case.-St. Louis Globe
