QUEEN AND THE "ORB."
How the Brave Girl Suffered Silently at
the Coronation.

How the Brave Girl Suffered Silently at
the Coronation.
In the coronation the ceremonies last
ed more than four hours, and through
out the queen played her part with
wonderful composure. Care, says a
writer in the Westminster Budget, had
been taken to provide a crown suitable
for her small head, but no one had
thought about reducing the size of the
orb which she was required to carry
il her tiny hand.
'What am to do with to" she asked
in concern.
Garry it, your majesty" replied
Lord John Thyme
cam /? 1t IS very heavy" the queen
answered in a tone of amazement How
ever, it was too late to protest, and she
obeyed the eXigencies of the situation.
A worse mistake had been made with
regard to the ruby coronation ring.
The jeweler had made it to fit her mai
esty's little finger, whereas the arch
bishop declared that according to the
rubric it must be put upon the larger
finger, and accordingly forced it into
that position. The queen bore her
painfully swelling finger with the same
heroism that she carried the weighty
orb. Afterward the finger was so much
swollen that it had to be bathed in ice
water before the ring could be drawn
off

ROMEO AND JULIET AGAIN.
A Montague-Ca puIet Love Tragedy in Real
Life in Austria.

Montague Capulet Love Tragedy in Real
Life In Austria.
An extra ordinary love tragedy, re-
calling the story of Romeo and Juliet,
is reported from Altfoldt, Irma. saws
a Vienna letter to the London News
Some time ago the daughter of high
ly respected family made the acquain-
lance of an employe of the local ad-
ministration, whose uncle is one of the
princes of the Hungarian church. The
two fell deeply in love and often met by
stealth, as the young mans parents
could not forget lawsuit they had had
with the girls family and which was
decided against them. The girls IA
Their, who was once a millionaire, but
whom speculation had reduced, tried
to persuade his daughter to marry
rich land owner who was anxious to
make her his wife. The young man
succeeded, however, in getting dis
pensation through his clerical uncle,
and a secret marriage was performed.
The girls parents again made vio-
lent scene to induce her to marry the
land owner. She took their words so
much to heart that she took a large
dose of opium and next morning was
found unconscious in her bed. The
young husband, hearing the news, ran
to the house and in the general confu-
sion entered the room. Seeing her pale
and motionless and believing her to be
dead, he blew his brains out with re-
volver he had brought with him. The
report awoke the young woman, whom
the opium had held in a trance When
she saw her lover lifcless on the ground
near her she took the revolver from his
dead hand and shot herself.

MEIER CRAUM.
Methods That Are Used to Prepare 1t for
Market.

Meerschaum is extracted in the same
way as coal The stone as extracted
is called ''ham fash" Trough block
and is soft enough to be cut easily with
a knife. It is white, with a yeIlowish
tint, and is covered with q red clayey
soil about one inch thick In this
state the blocks are purchased by deal
ers on the spot, not by weight nor by
measurement. These rough blocks are
dried and subjected to,a certain prep
aration before being conveyed to Eslxi-
Sherhir. Some Of them are as small
as a walnut, while others attain the size
of a. cubic foot. Those which combine
regularity of surface and size are the
best. The manipulation required be-
fore they are ready for expectation
is long and costly. The clayey soil
attached is removed and the meer-
schaum dried. In summer exposure
for five or six days in the suns rays suf-
fees, but in winter room heated to
the required temperature is required,
and the drying process takes eight or
ten days. When we'll dried the blocks
are well cleaned and polished. Then
they are sorted into about 10 classes.
each class being packed with great
care in separate cases and each block
being wrapped in cotton wool

The Greatest Smokers.

Caricaturists in depicting a German
are in the habit of putting a big pipe
in his mouth. The pipe is national,
indeed, but the Germans as a nation are
far from being the greatest smokers.
They do not smoke more than French
men, Russians, Swedes Or Hungarians.
The men of the United States and the
men of Switzerland are the most in
veterate smokers on earth. In these
two countries the consumption Of to-
bacco per capita is three times greater
than in Germany. At the same time,
we also raise more tobacco than any
other country on the globe. British
India comes next, producing nearly as
much as we do.

to insure family against any serious con
sequences from an attack of bowel COM
plant during the year there are many

that they could not afford to risk their

SHIP WREATHED IN ELECTRICITY
Remarkable Storm Through Which an
Ocean Vessel Recently Pissed.

Remarkable Storm Through Which
Ocean Vessel Recently Passed.
One of the most remarkable electric
storms at sea. which probably seemed
intensified by reason of the fact that
a cargo of Spanish iron ore passed
through it, was experienced by the Brit
ish steamship Mercedes, which arrived
at this port the other day from Bilbao,
says the Philadelphia Record. On the
Grand banks Of Newfoundland during
the nights of December and the
ocean appeared like mighty mass of
flame or an endless stretch of prairie
fires. Balls of electrical fires Kissed
and exploded in all directions and dart
ed among the vessels maStS and rig
ging. The Mercedes escape from going
down on December seemed little short
CT a miracle. She struck by a south
west gale, which was accompanied by
seas rolling high. During the height of
the storm a huge deck derrick, weigh
ing many tons, was torn loose from it's
fastenings and swept overheard, leav-
ing hole in the vessels deck, through
which the water ran into the cargo. In
it's course it carried away the main top
mast, which was also of iron; part of
the flying bridge, the after winch, and
part of the deck fittings. Soon after
ward the storm partly subsidized, when
the electrical fire appeared in all direc-
TONS. 1t hung in big balls for two
nights from the masts and fore and aft
stays, and practically turned night into
day. AS the big fireballs came together
they would burst with loud report
upon the vessel and disappear. Under
this light at night such temporary re-
pairs were made as were deemed neces-
sary to reach port.

SAFETY FOR PASSENGERS.
How 1t Is Secured on Eastern Excursion
Steamers.

How 1t Is Secured on Eastern Excursion
Steamers
Those Of our readers who have had
the curiosity to examine the appoint
ments and equipments of excursion
boats such as ply about the bays and
harbors of the Atlantic coast, says Bust
ness, may have noticed on the main
deck a weighted and suspended pointer,
SO arranged as to indicate by it's swing
ing movements the deviation of the
boat from even keel Some weights on
wheels, commonly termed ''chain
boxes,' are at hand for use in evening
the load of the boat. AS the boat lists
to one side, when the eager sight-seers
rush pell-mell to secure some special
view, the chain boxes are quickly rolled
in the opposite direction, and when, by
reason of a change in point of interest,
the crowd runs to the opposite side of
the boat, the chain boxes in turn are
wheeled to the contrary direction. The
pointer or indicator, hanging against a
post near the center of the boat, serves
to direct the movements of the deck
hands with the boxes.

acquire it for use as Johnson museum
or club, a number of local residents
having offered to give to it relics which
they possess of the famous lexicog-
rapher.

How the Bloodless and Unequal War Is
Waged.

Waged.
1t is a sacred maxim. handed down
from age to age by the sue
cessors of ST. Peter, that what
ever spiritual or temporal pow
ers have once been placed within
their hands shall be kept intact and
unimpaired, says Macmillan's Maya
zine. They do not admit defeat What
they do not possess de facto they at
least possess de jure. If they have lost
the substance, they retain the shadow,
and Il their earthly kingdom has been
filched that loss, they say, will only
be continued for a season, until that
brighter day returns when all shall
be restored. The holy Catholic church,
it is said, can afford to stand and wait.
An all-seeing providence will give her
the victory at last. In the belief of all
true Catholics it is certain that she
will eventually triumph as that the
sun will rise again.
Meanwhile, though she never hastes
she never rests and she presses on her
claims with a persistency which, if
often silent, never flags. They are
pushed INCREASINGLY from hour to hour,
from day to day, from year to year
and if the outside world can forget
them or deride them the government
of King Humbert never can. 1t has
to face an unsleeping foe whom no
good will can ever conciliate or APP
pease, whose claims are incapable of
compromise. Both demand the right
to rule in the city of the Caesars and the
victory of one side means the inevitable
and enduring humiliation of the other.
So is waged the bloodless but unequal
war. Yet, though the occupation of
the quirinal is securely based Oh force,
the vatican has weapons in her arsenal
of less material kind with which she
is we'll able to harass and annoy.

WOULD NOT KISS THE BRIDE.
Congressman Cousins Was Too Modest to
Act as Best Man a Wedding.

Congressman Cousins Was Too Modest to
Act as Best Man a Wedding.
One of the most modest members of
congress is Bob Cousins, of iowa.
1t is told that not many sessions ago
Mr.. Mercer, a member from Nebraska,
still in the house, married young lady
well known in Washington Inasmuch
as Cousins is al intimate friend of
MERGERS, says the Troy Times, both
being born in Iowa, the latter thought
it would be an excellent idea to have
Cousins act as best man at the we'd
ding. Bob consented. The ceremony
occurred. After it was over the min
lister kissed the bride, bridesmaids,
ditto. The bride, supposing the best
man would be glad of similar courtesy
extended to him, puckered up her lips
to Bob in order that he might avail
himself of the opportunity so gracious
~ extended to him. When Mr.. Cousins
realized what was expected of him in
the premises he gave one look at the
bride, turned so red that even the dark
est corner of the church became as light
as MONDAY, bolted down the aisle and
out of the church, leaving the bride
in rather an embarrassed state of mind,
to say nothing of the mingled feelings
of surprise and bewilderment of the
other members of the bridal party and
friends. Both Mercer and Cousins are
in the present congress, but the latter
had rather talk on almost any subject
than on certain incidents connected
with the wedding of the gentleman
from Nebraska
