Some Royal Crowns.

The crowns Of Spain, Portugal and
Poland are all three of the same form,
and are described by Colonel Parsons in
his Genealogical Tables of Europe" as
"ducal coronets heightened up with
eight arched diadems supporting a
mound, unsigned with q plain gold
cross" The crowns of Denmark and
Sweden are of almost similar shape,
consisting Of the eight arched diadems,
rising from a marquis coronet "a circle
OF gold bordered with ermine, set round
with four strawberry leaves and as
many pearls ON pyramidical points of
equal height, alternate), which conjoin
at the top under mound unsigned with
q cross botonnee. The kings of most
other continental countries are crowned
with circles Of gold, adorned with pre-
ciOus stones and heightened up with
large "trefoils, and closed by four, six
or eight diadems supporting mound
surmounted by cross. The trefoil upon
the crown is thought to be of Gothic in
PRODUCTION.
We find it upon the coins of Clovis
and his sons, which has induced anti
quaries to call it the flower de luce''
(the lily Of France represented in gold
on a blue ground), but, the fact is, these
trefoils were used on Constantinopolitan
crowns before the time Of the Franks,
and afterward on those of German
princes in no way allied to Charlie
magne. Aubrey, a celebrated authority
upon heraldry, was Of opinion that the
flower de luce is really nothing more
than spearhead adorned, no flower of
the lily kind having the middle part
solid. The sultan of Turkey bears over
his arms turban, enriched with pearls
and diamonds, under two coronets, the
first of which is made of pyramidical
points, heightened up with large pearls,
and the uppermost is surmounted with
crescents. Journal

WAS PARADISE At THE NORTH POLE,

Many Geologists Contend That the Garden
Of Eden We In the Arctic Regions.
man interesting and highly instruct
i've article Edward S. Martin, in the
Ladies' Home Journal, reviews the nu-
merocs theories advanced by scientists
in the epdeavor to solve the perplexing
problem as tothe exact location of the site
of the garden Of Eden. After sitting the
theories the writer concludes that the
question is no nearer answered than it
was 1000 years ago, and that there are
no present indications that the matter
win ever be definitely settled by any
man. To one of the latest and most in
genious theories Mr.. Martin thus re-
fers:
The north pole will seem at first
thought Of the average investigator the
most unlikely site ON earth for paradise
to have occupied. Nevertheless several
sober and thoughtful books and PAM
phlets have been written in support of
the north poles pretensions The north
pole nowadays is bitter cold, but it has
not always been so. Biologists tell MS
that the earth was excessively hot
when 1T first began its course-much too
hot to admit of the presence of any liv.
ing creatures, except, perhaps, a sala-
mander. As it grew cooler vegetation
began on it, and then it began to be
peopled, first with fishes, and then with
birds and beasts, finally with man.
The first spot Oh earth to get cool
enough to use was the north pole. In
the process Of time it got too cold, but
there must have been q long period
when the polar region was the most
comfortable part of the world. During
this period, many eminent biologists be-
heve, there existed around the north pole
continent now submerged. and that on
that continent our progenitors were
comfortable in their first home. 1t is
known with entire certainty that the
polar region was once warm enough for
tropical vegetation to grow there. There
was light enough also for such vegeta-
tion-abundant light, indeed, for all
uses and plenty for primeval man.
Geology tells us that man might have
lived at the north pole.

It has long been stock argument
against the originality of the feminine
mind that, while women are excellent
in the, initiative arts, they cannot in
vent. Now the chairman Of the commit
tee on women's inventions of the At
lanta exposition says that the number of
women's patents she has collected is too
large to be accommodated in the space
set apart for them. As it is reasonably
to be assumed that these selected inven.
tions were good ones the woman of the
century has scored another point against
her traditional critics. - Baltimore

POWER OF The JAWS
Ihe Pressure They Exert In tHe &~ssica
ri0n Of Meat Food.

NbOn U 1Ae1t oOus
According to the investigations of DR..
g. V. Black, the muscular strength of
the jaws compares favorabiy with that
of any part Of the body.
To crush a piece Of steak, according
to DR.. Black, bite of 40 to 40 pounds
is necessary-that is. if the proper ma
chine were So rugged that, by seizing a
double lever between the jaws, an OBJ
ject could be lifted from the floor, a 40
pound weight could be raised by the
steak. Repeat this effort every time you
chew, and you get an idea of how much
exercise is required to eat ones dinner.
And what makes it harder still is that
most people habitually use much more
force than is necessary in chewing their
food. For instance, in chewing steak
whose crushing point is at 40 to As
pounds. the persons tested by Dr.. Black
used force Of 60 to 80 pounds-from
10 to 40 pounds more than was neces-
sary. All this extra force of course is
worse than wasted, but probably the
generality Of manhood will keep on
wasting strength just SO till more sys-
tematic method Of eating is adopted
But DR.. Black did not confine him
self to steak in his experiments He
tested all kinds of meat and found that
mutton chops may be crushed with an
expenditure Of 25 to 40 pounds Of
strength. Broiled ham and roast beef
require the greatest amount-45 to 80
pounds - while pork chops may be
chewed wi III force of 20 to 20 pounds,
and the choicest parts of cold boiled
tongue with 3 to s pounds. These of
course are averages. Tough meat of any
kind is still harder to crush-for in
stance, tough beef and mutton tested BY
DIR. Black required in some cases q
crushing force Of 80 pounds.
The smallest pressure recorded ON DR..
Blacks gauge, that Of little girl
years old, was 80 pounds. This was with
her front teeth, which are not used for
the crushing processes of mastication.
With the molars, which do the chewing,
properly SO called, she could exert force
Of G5 pounds-quite enough to crush all
but the toughest parts of toughest meats.
Several persons exceeded 100 pounds
with the front teeth, or incisors, and
200 with the molars. One mana ply
stefan of 80 years-bas such strength Of
jaw that it must for the present remain
a mystery, for it exceeded the testing
power of the instrument. The gauge re-
gistered only 27O pounds, and when this
remarkable chewer shut his teeth on it
he closed it with no apparent effort.
How far above go pounds he could
have gone is therefore a subject for
speculation.
1t will be observed that the doctor
measured only the force exerted by the
jaws and not the work done by them.
This latter is really more important,
and it remains for some one, perhaps
the doctor himself in a second series of
experiments, to ascertain it.-Buffalo
Express.

hand. To the conception of the state as
a private corporation, which he had
imbibed from Rousseau, was now added
the conviction that the institutions Of
Franco were no longer adapted to the
occupations, beliefs or morals of her
people, and that revolution was q neces-
sity. To judge from memoir presented
some years later to the Lyons Academy,
he must have absorbed the teachings of
the 1.-TWO Indies" almost entire.
The consuming zeal for studies on the
part Of this incomprehensible youth is
probably unparalleled. Having read
Plutarch in his childhood, he now de-
voured Herodotus, Strabo and Diodorus.
China, Arabia and the Indies dazzled
his imagination, and what he could lay
hands upon concerning the east was
soon assimilated. England and Germany
next engaged his attention, and toward
the close Of his studies he became ardent
in examining the minutest details of
French history. 1t was, moreover, the
science Of history and not Of literature
which occupied him - dry details Of
revenue, resources and institutions, The
Sorbonne, the bull Unigenitus and
church history in general, the character
OF peoples, the origin of institutions, the
philosophy Of legislation-all these he
studied, and il the character Of his notes
is Trustworthy with some thoroughness.

pieces Of French literature and the
great critical judgments which had been

Ers. Btanton said to the little group of women gathered about her in New York when she first bEoaehed the ques- tion of Bible for women alone:
 Sufficient attention has not been given to the position of woman in the divine book The various revisions have treated with scant consideration those portions relating to woman. In the agitation to secure equal rights and privileges for woman the Bible is con- stantly referred to to show the inferior ity of the sex. This being 80, it is abso- lntely necessary that the misconceptions as to the attitude of the Bible toward woman arising from wrong translations and interpretations should be corrected. U
 The active cooperation of Lady Hen ry Somerset and Miss Frances Willard was sought, and it was given forth that these distinguished ladies had approved of Mrs. Stanton's departure from the voice of Judah and the small voice speaking in the wilderness. But The Union Signal of April 25 disproyes this assertion, and in an editorial paragraph makes clear the position of Miss Willard and Lady Henry. The Union Signal says;
 ''The latest misapprehension concern ing Miss Willard and Lady Henry Som erset Is that they are helping to edit 8 woman's Bible The facts are that they agree to be members of a commit tee to prepare an exegesis of those pas sages in the Bible that relate to wo- man s position in the church and state, with the understanding that Miss Eliza beth w. Greenwood and number of women evangelists should be associated with themselves and other leadtpg wo- men in the undertaking. This will un- doubtedly be done, but the arrangements have not yet reached Q stage where they can be given to the public. J
 They may have recalled the old lines from the Bible, and written ill letters of gold, over the Gate of the Women where the feet of Ben-Hur once came:
 "A foolish woman is olamorous; she is simple and moweth nothing. /"
 The new Bible is not yet completed, but so far progressed that its publication is probability. How far the work of the revisers has extended into the Greek, 6yriac and Latin versions is not made known. What special rules for correct ing existing translations, what new fountains of knowledge have been drawn on, has not been ascertained Mrs. Stan ton herself, in speaking on the subject Ill New York Saturday, threw no light upon this interesting phase of the revi- sion.
