Some Royal Crowns.

The crowns of Spain, Portugal and
Poland are al 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 plain gold
cross. The crowns of Denmark and
Sweden are of almost similar shape,
consisting of the eight arched diadems,
rising from marquis coronet Ga circle
of gold bordered with ermine, set round
with four strawberry leaves and as
many pearls on pyramidical points Of
equal height, alternately, which conjoin
at the top under a mound unsigned with
a 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 "trefcils, +" and closed by four, six
or eight diadems supporting a mound
surmounted by a cross. The trefoil upon
the crown is thought TO be of Gothic in
PRODUCTION.
We find it upon the coins of Clovis
and his sops, which has induced anti
quaries to call it the flower de luce
(the lily of France represented in gold
on 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 III 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 a 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. chambers Journal

advocate high taxes, only to state
facts, and yet frankly say that it
was wise in the Legislature of 1895
to not only stop running the state in
debt, but to provide for its obhga-
tons.
1t is popular to charge up fnan-
cial burdens TO the administration,
forgetting that it is alone the legis-
lature which controls taxation. If
the Legislature is incompetent or
prohigate, the people are TO blame
for trusting their interests and affairs
to profigate and incompetent men.
But having trusted them and reaped
the reward of such folly in another
era of high taxation, it is the part of
wisdom. especially on the part of our
farmers, that the contingency should
not happen again. 1t is the same
old lesson that it is better and wiser
to "pay as you 60" than to adopt
any temporary expediency or false
economy for political or personal
gain, that will always entail heavier
burden when the people are least
prepared to meet it. In this respect
the past should be wholesome les
son and its influence should not be
perverted or lost by false and mali
cious partisan statement.

1t 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 toe
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

WASHINGTON dispatches say the
financial statement for May was a
great disappointment to the presi-
dent, Secretary Carlisle and Post
master General Wilson, who have
been predicting that the law would
produce revenue enough when once
it fairly got in working order. The
May receipts were but s24, 643,7l7,
while the expenditures were $685.
1876, 592, leaving deficit of nearly
100000. The deficit for the fiscal
year thus far is about S21 100000.
The democratic policy Of "tariff for
revenue only" has brought forth
nothing but "tariff for deficit only"

The Pressure They Exert In the Mastica-
tion Of Meat Food.

According to the Investigations Of DIR.
G.. v. Black. the muscular strength of
the jaws compares favorably with that
of any part of the body.
To crush a piece of steak. according
TO DIR. 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 il 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 40
pounds. the persons tested by DIR. Black
used force Of 60 to so 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 i'll his experiments. He
tested all kinds of meat and found that
mutton chops may be crushed with an
expenditure of 20 to 40 pounds of
strength. Broiled ham and roast beef
require the greatest amount-45 TO 60
pounds - while pork chops may be
chewed with force of 90 to 20 pounds,
and the choicest parts of cold boiled
tongue with to 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
DR.. Black required in some cases a
crushing force Of 80 pounds.
The smallest pressure recorded on DIR.
Blacks gauge, that Of little girl z
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 SO 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-has 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 $40 pounds, and when this
remarkable chewer shut his teeth on it
he closed it with no apparent effort.
How far above 270 pounds he could
have gone is therefore 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. perha
the doctor himself in a second series of
experiments to ascertain it.-Buffalo

To the Gordon journal.

The attention of the editor of this
paper has been called to the rank pla-
giarism by Bro. Lyon of the Gordon
Journal last week. he clipped at
east two items from this paper with
out giving credit for the same. One
of them was the article referring to
"Rattlesnake Jack" Now, we don't
care a continental for that, but as the
aforesaid Jack is on our track with one
of his "pets" we would advise Bro.
Lyon to credit the article if he doesn't
wish to fall under the ban and get
snake bit. Whisky is the only cure
for snake bite, and as Bro. Lyon is a
Temperance man" he might have to
break his pledge. It's all right to clip
from the Atchison Globe, because their
travelling man dosen't carry snakes
around in his pocket.
