Dow was a poor man and had no

understanding that he was to pay
him for his services in advance.
The day before the trial the Colonel

The attorneys for the state thought
so too, and entertained little hopes

it was whispered around that Dow

A lady in waiting TO the Princess Of

of her son, the Duke of Clarence. The

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

that she was "a carrier and made her living
by shopping and doing errands in the

on, drawing her veil over her face TO hide
her tears. a few days later neat little
cart and stout donkey were brought 70

Interrupted Service.

At a small church in Maine the regular
organist happened TO be absent, and the
congregation In which were few sum
mer visitors was obliged TO sing the
hymns without instrumental aid and un-
der the pastors leadership, One hymn,
apparently not familiar 20 many, came
several times TO distressing halt and
finally died out altogether
The minister, rather irritated sat down
as II determined not TO continue the serv-
Ice until the singing met his appreciation.
An oppressive silence fell upon the little
company, broken at last by a deacon s
prayer.
20 Lord, f." he said, "touch the heart Of
our pastor, that he may be moved 70 go on
with the service.
Not 70 be outdone, the minister rose and
prayed earnestly that the congregation
might have their eyes opened 10 their
faults and be willing 70 do their part and
not put all the labor on their spiritual
shepherd.
Another embarrassing pause followed,
which seemed likely 10 last for the re-
mainder Of the day Finally woman rose
in the rear pew and family petitioned that
spirit Of harmony might rest upon pas
tor and people and move them 10 union
and peace Then a shrill voice struck
up familiar anthem, the ice was broken,
all joined In the singing, and the serv.
ice went forward. Youths Companion

FORTUNES IN PRECIOUS STONES.
Handled by "A Famous London Dealer Who
Has n stock Worth - .OOO,O 900.

The two principal things that strike one
during a visit 20 the establishment Of the
greatest gem merchant i'm the world, Ed
win Strcetcr, are the apparently careless
fashion IL which precious stones worth
small fortunes are handled and the mag
nitude Of the everyday transactions. Mr..
Streeter has "A pearl fishery OF his own in
Broom, West Australia, and the industry
employs about 500 men and % vessels Of
from 100 TO 100 tons burden. Consign-
mcnts Of all kinds Of rough stones come
into the famous Bond street house every
Monday morning
Which is the most popular stone at the

ply, but English people are not nearly

lians and native Indian potentates The
car of Russia once offered me $3.50, 900 for
a certain blue diamond but l refused 10

mond that ever had, however, was worth
$3.50, 600 Rubies of the true pigeons

their weight in diamonds, but are very

ton, by the way, that large numbers Of la
dies among our aristocracy not only depos

they are travelling abroad, but during the
London season "a large percentage wear
replicas in the real sets and never see the
latter for years. The latest thing, how
ever, is novel system of insurance. The
lady pays an annual sum of $500 or $3.50,

fraud every set that Is being valued for in
surance purposes is photographed and
marked in a special manner. In the event
of robbery minute descriptions of the miss
ing property would be telegraphed 10 every
police station in Europe.
No wonder that this treasure house, the
stock Of which is valued at over s., 000,

CHANGE IN POTATO RoTATloNs.
Rendered Necessary Owing to the Increas-
ing Prevalence of Fungous Diseases.

Rendered Necessary Owing to the Increas-
ing Prevalence of FUNGUS Diseases.
To rotate crops SO that potatoes shall
sot be grown successfully on the same
land is more than ever necessary. The
germs Of potato disease are believed 80
live two or three years under some con3i-
tions, SO that If the potato field be seed
I'd with clover and this be plowed under
the first or even second year Of growth
there will be some germs Of the fungus
which will rapidly increase as soon as
potatoes are again grown on the land.
A longer rotation between potato crops,
SO a. TO give time for thorough extir-
patton Of the germs Of disease in the soil
Is now needed! Growing a corn crop
after the first seeding with clover after
potatoes, and then seeding with clover
again and blowing under this second
crop for potatoes. will effectually de-
stroy the germs of potato disease in the
soil according TO American Cultivator,
from which the following is reproduced:
There are some who would follow a
corn crop on plowed clover ley with
potato crop. giving it the benefit Of the
second years use of the fermenting
clover sod as fertilizer. But though
this makes the potato crop less liable TO
injury from blight and rot it does not
secure so large crops of potatoes as will
the blowing under of a clover ley after
the land has been long enough uncrop-
ped by potatoes 10 free it from all germs
Of disease. 1t is better not to bring DO
.atoes again on the same field until five.
81 -. L. I
In potatoes before. If this rule be adhered
70 and the germs Of blight that float in
the atmosphere are destroyed by spray
Ing the foliage with copper solutions, it
will be possible TO grow potatoes again
without fear of blight or rot. OF course
u will be necessary 10 destroy all dead
potato tops by burning them when dry
either in the fall or winter.
When a farmer finds that one field
brings large return in potatoes, he Is
apt TO bring 1t again 10 this crop sooner
than he should. 1t will cost some money
10 underdrain and manure the neglected
parts of the farm SO as 10 fit them for
potato growing, but it will help tomake
the potato crop much surer than it now
Is and will abundantly pay in the end.
Quite often fields that have been too wet
for cultivation need only 10 be under
drained TO produce a potato yield that
the very first season will repay the ex-
pense of the undertaking.
Fresh manure is thus a constant source
Of potato disease on farms where large
amounts of potatoes are yearly grown.
There are always many potatoes too
small or otherwise unstable, and these
are fed raw to the stock. Cooking these
potatoes effectually destroys the germs
of disease, besides making the potato
more digestible.
