Vfctoria's Crown

The crown of the queen OF Great
Britain and Ireland, made in 1888 by
Rundell & Bridge, has been estimated
to be of the value Of $500, 1000. 1t
weighs nearly two pounds and COM
prises more than 5000 precious
stones, of which fve-siXths are dia-
monds. The lover part Of the band
is row of 129 pearls, the upper part
of I12.
Between them, In front, IS large
sapphire. Behind is q smaller sap
phire, with six others and eight emer-
AIDS Between the two great sap.
phires are ornaments containing 2S6
diamonds. Above the band are eight
sapphlres surmounted by eight dia-
monds, and eight festoons containing
100 diamonds. In the front Of the
crown is the ruby given to the Black
Prince by Pedro, King Of Castillo
This is set in a Maltese cross, and
forming the cross are seventy-fve
large diamonds.
Three other crosses, containing 1856
diamonds, are around the upper part
If the crown. Between the four
crosses are four ornaments with four
rubies in the center, and containing
respectively eighty-four, eighty-slx,
eighty-fiye and eighty-seven dia-
monds. From the Maltese cross rise
four arches, composed of oak leaves
and acorns, the leaves containing 72S
diamonds. The thirty-two acorns are
each Of a single pearl and are set IN
cups made Of flfty-four diamonds.
Above the arch stands the mound,
containing 54S diamonds, and above
the mound is the cross, containing a
very large sapphire, four very large
and los smaller diamonds. All the
stones are genuine, and not, as N
some other European crowns, colofed
rlass, which has replaced the gen.
lne stones. s.-Retail Jeweler.

The Disappearing Desert.

It is not at all unlikely that in the
twentieth century the desert Of Sa-
hara will have disappeared as COM
pletely from the maps as the Great
American Desert has done in the nine
teenth. In the year 1857 the French
engineer, NJ. Jus, proved that that
portion Of the Sahara Desert included
within the area of French Algeria
contained large underground supplies
Of water, and the number Of wells
bored since that time in the depart
ments of Algiers, Gran, and ConStan-
tine, amounts to more than $4,000.
These wells vary from 100 to 400 feet
In depth, and the pressure Of the
water forces it couple Of feet above
The surface of the ground. 1t is then
led to bitches, and is carried In this
way to the vineyards, date trees, and
wheat fields. No fewer than Il, 0O0,-
boo acres Of barren land have been
made fruitful in this way. an enter
brise representing perhaps the most
remarkable example of irrigation by
means Of artesian wells which can
anywhere be found. Algeria owes
to this method of cultivation that it
is becoming a most important wine
producing country, as may be gauged
from the fact that. in 1886 it sent to
France 1O,5O0,000 gallons.

Hurry.

If the habit Of hurry is inimlcal to
valuable work, it is equally so to a
valuable character. Begun, as it
usually is, in the daily employment,
it soon becomes a habit of life. In
sensibly we come to eat and drink in
a hurry, and so ruin our digestion or
gans; to take our amusements in a
hurry, and so ruin their recreative
effect; to think in hurry, and so ar
rive at false conclusions; to converse
in hurry, and so lose all the fine
flavor Of other minds. Hurry is the
enemy of self-control, Of manliness,
of dignity. There never was greater
mistake than to imagine thatit add
to ones importance by showing how
numerous and pressing ones duties
and responsibilities are. 1t merely
shows that. whatever they may be,
one is not equal to them-that one is
not master of the situation. Emer-
son says, Goodness and absence Of
heat and haste indicate fine qualities.
A gentleman makes no noise, a lady
is serene. The love Of beauty is
merely the love Of measure or proper
ton. The person who screams, or
uses the superlative degree, or con-
verses with heat, is quickly left

Attention and Memo. >.

A good memory is so very useful
and desirable a thing that persons
who profess to teach artificial systems
Of memorizing easily obtain attention
and profitable patronage; but there IS
really no such thing as an artificial
memory" or even an artifcially-as-
sisted memory. Many people would
undoubtedly have better memories
than they now have if, in their youth
or IN their past life, they had under
stood the simple physiological prln-
ciples upon which the memory is
founded. The most important part
of the memory is the slowing away OF
things, not the bringing Of them
forth again; and, if people are care
full. during the period Of life which
is chiefly occupied in slowing away
things. to do this work with atten-
tion and thoroughness, and If they
are able in after-life to keep them
selves in a fairly good state of health
and vigor, they are not likely to be
troubled with poor memory. The
first and most important element ol
memory is the taking Of an impres'
sion in such a way that it is likely to
be retained; the more sharp and vivid
this impression is made, the more
permanent it is likely to he. Atten-
tion in taking in what we wish to
learn, then, is the secret Of remem-
bering it afterwards.

Too E.anY Of Them Married,

A curious and somewhat pathetic
tory comes from Edinburgh, Scot
land. The Cameron High)enders,
who until recently formed the gar
rison of that city, received orders for
Malta. The regiment had been sta
toned in the city during longer
period than is usual, and it was dis
covered on their departure that no
less than 25O soldiers had married, IN
defiance Of the army regulations.
The wives, on the departure of their
husbands, had to be left behind, Not
more than per cent. Of a regiment is
allowed the privilege Of taking wives
with them on their travels, and these
must have had permission to marry.
Much sympathy is felt in the city for
the wives left behind. Seeing that a
private soldier can send home only a
small sum Of money weekly, even
under the most favorable conditions,
the lot of the unfortunate wives is a
most pitable one a public fund Is
being raised for their assistance.

protection from Rifle Bullets

Commenting on the penetrative
powers Of the small arms lately intro:
Iluced into the armies of all the great
powers, Col. Lonsdale Hale states
that the minimum thickness Of ordi,
nary soil affording protection is thirty
inches, while single brick walls, afte{
being struck few times, no longer
afford any cover. The new Germad
rife ranges up to 4, 00G yards, and at
poo yards the bullet will penetrate
ten inches of fir or pine and fourteen
inches of sand. At $50 yards the
bullet can pierce three or four ranks,
and at 1900 yards man may no
longer consider himself safe, even if
the bullet has already penetrated two
of his comrades. With regard to
''smokeless powder" the same au-
thority observes that, though the re-
port of the rifles when fired is heard,
il is very difficult to see whence the
rifles are fred. Under certain con-
ditions no trace Of smoke can be dis
tinguished. Minor acts Of surprise,
he considers, will be more frequent
in the future, and will often partake
Of the nature Of ambuscades. Very
small bodies Of cavalry, intimately
connected with infantry, forming in
action patrols of the latter, will,
therefore. be necessary and it will no
longer be possible to discover we'll
posted batteries. On the whole, Col.
Hale considers that only war can
absolutely decede what the effects OF
the improvement Of in small arms
will be. One thing, however, is GER
tain-that is, that the difficulty Of
leading troops has considerably an-

Women to Work the Switches.

In Holland, where good deal Of
alcoholic liquor is taken-in conse-
Quence perhaps of the temptation Of
there being always water at hand to
mix with it-men can no longer be
trusted to work the switches on the
railways, and women now fill their
places. This is slap in the face in
deed to the male sex and a great tri-
umph to the advocates of female
labor. But we have yet to see how
the thing works. The men say that
there will be looking-gl in the
switch boxes and that the women
will never leave them till they have
smoothcd their last hair and settled
the bow of their last ribbon, and that
in the meantime there will be COL
lisioas; that when left to themselves
they never have been in time for the
train as passengers, and will not be
more punctual as pointswomcn; and,
finally, that if they hear their lovers
whistle anywhere in the neighbor-
hood they will paw very little atten-
tion to that Of the locomotive. If
these objections are not valid, con-
clude the men; ''we are not Dutch
uen."

Saved by the Pony.

Elephants are extremely afraid OF

"Travels in Assam" To that fact

alternately. The way had to be cut
as they advanced.

phant in my howdah, with good
oattery of guns when about midday
/ heard behind me general cry OF
alarm, and hastily rode to the scene
OF danger.
It seems that just after I had
passed, with the coolies, who cut
down the jungle, huge Mukna ele-
phanr had rushed from the jungle in
a terrible rage, and pursued the lit
tie baggage elephant, which was just
behind my wife and child The lit
tie elephant screeched, and fed for
its life, straight ahead.
Fortunately pony was led beside
the paIkee which contained my wife
and child. The wild elephant was
close upon them, and they closed
their eyes in horror, expecting to be
dragged from their places and
trampled to death. At that moment
lne great beast caught sight Of the
pony. 1t stopped short, turned aside,
and fed back to the jungle as II pur-
sued by an evil spirit
The men were filed with astonish-
ment Most of them had fed to the
protection of sheltering trees, leaving
nv wife and child alone.

lrishman in the employ Of the club
who patroiled the banks, accompanied
by felocous-looking bull dog and q
gun identified with the revolutionary
period, but we decided to take
chances rather than return with
empty creels. So on the following

Raa MaldenA OF Erancas

Near the little town of La Ferte,
In France, there is an apple-tree
which bears only imperfect blossoms;
and the fact having long been dis.
covered, has given rise to very beau
tiful custom among the maidens OF
the village
When spring-time comes, and the
apple-tree halls the joyous time with
glad burst of blossoms, the maid
ems Of the village arm themselves
with gay ribbons and perfect BIOS
SONS from their favorite Trees, and go
singing to the lonely tree which has
produced only the imperfect blossoms.
Each girl then Kisses a cluster Of the
imperfect blossoms, and in so doing
1usts the former with the pollen from
the latter. She then ties a distin-
gushing ribbon near to the cluster
she had busted
The tree looks very gay when thus
decorated, with the pink blossoms
smiling up at Heaven, and the dainty
ribbons futtering in the perfume
laden air; but the best Of it is when
| the petals fall like summer snow, ]"
and the little apples begin to shape.
Than the maidens pluck off all but
the best fruit, and let that take all
the strength of the tree, so that the
apples grow famously and come to
perfection,
And now is seen the strange part
Of the affair; the apples, instead OF
being ali of one kind, are as different
as the blossoms that kissed their bios
SONS, the fact being that the apple is
expectly like the apple on the tree
from which the pollen-bearing bios
SONS was taken. So on this one tree
will be seen round, rosy-cheeked ap-
pies, long, yellow apples, juicy apples,
mealy apples, dainty little apples, and
"monstrous big" apples. Each maid
en- has the apple she wished the most
