Our aim is to be first among jewelers.
and our success has been as brilliant as
diamond of the first water. Speaking of
gems and jewelry, We have them in rich
and rare variety, bright as the flashes of
fashion, choice and elegant as only genu-
inc stones and solid goods can be. Here
are chances for looks, not of the kind
that kill, but of the sort that please, de-
light, and charm the lockers and give
powers of conquest to all who gather
from our plentiful harvest of jewelry.

The late Cardinal Prince Fuerstenberg,
a member of the once sovereign house
of that name. and, as Archbishop of Oh
mutt. primate of the Austrian empire.
was the only prelate of the sacred col
lege whose hands were stained with hui
man blood. While out shooting as a
young officer he accidentally killed a
gamekeeper. This so preyed upon his
mind that he resolved to devote the re-
mainder of his life TO the church. He
thereupOn resigned his commission in the
army, became a priest and rapidly rose
10 the very highest rank in the clergy.
The father-in-law of the Infanta Eulalie
Of Spain, the late Duke of MOntpensier,
father of the Countess de Paris. was
responsible for the death of his cousin,
Prince Henry of Bourbon, whom he shot
IN a duel at Madrid in 1870. Il was called
a duel, but it was more like murder.
The adVersaries were TO fire alternately,

a Unicorn Rahhit.

From the San Francisco can.
Miss Bertrand. daughter of the hotel
keeper at Tocaloma, captured a most I'M
usual quadruped a few days ago. 1t is
a specimen of the ordinary cotton-tailed
rabbit, but differeS from the rest of his
tribe by not having his just share of ears.
In fact, he has only one, and that II
right in the middle of his forehead"
Possibly the rabbit realized that he was
different from his fellows for he was
hrst seen only few hundred yards from
the hotel. When he was chased, instead
of getting away as fast as possible. he
ran into a clump of shrubbery and staid
there until he was picked up. And the
strangest thing is that he never seemed
frightened at any time, but allowed him
self TO be handled just as if he was used
10 it all his life.
The body of Miss Bertrand's rabbit is
exactly like all other rabbits, and so is
the shape of his head. His fur is the
same color and there appears to be no
difference in size from others of his
species. But TO look at him is startling.
And all on account of. that strange. IN
canny ear. 1t sticks up in the widest
manner and makes the little animal
look about twice his real size. Ii also
gives him the ferocious appearance thai
Indians have when they put a feather on
their head and. twist il into their hair
SO that II sticks up as straight as a bean
While the rabbit captured at Tocaloma
has only one ear il really seems to have
two oritices. The openings are on the
side of the ear and not far from the us
ual places. From the upper portions Of
them the skin of the ear grows toward
the center Of the head, where 1t joins the
one from the other side, and the two be-
come one piece of flesh. except for the
fact that the inside is turned toward the
back instead of toward the sides. The
single ear is nearly twice the size of one
in normal condition
Notwithstanding his popularity the
one-eared rabbit IS as happy as can be.
He hops around his pen in the liveliest
manner and when he is picked up shows
signs OF being pleased az the attention

Pointer dogs can always be trained to
steal. Many Of them are natural thieves
without training. and any of the species
can be taught. There is dog of this
kind in northwest Washington. He will
pick up anything lie can find around a
yard or outside Of store, but his spe-
cialty is ladies' pocketbooks and hand
bags. When he sees one of these, he
grabs it and runs, always succeeding in
getting out of sight before he can be
captured or followed. No owner has
ever been seen, hence no complaints
have been made at police headquarters,
but there is but little doubt, if it were
possible TO follow the animal. that it
would be found that he has been care
fully trained as IA purse snatcher and
that he takes his booty home to his
master. He seems to be aware that he is
doing wrong, jumping fences and dodg-
ing around houses when running away.

A Remarkable Tree.

There is a wayward white oak tree
near LapOrte, Ind, that may we'll puz-
zle naturalists with the vagaries of its
growth. The tree is 8 feet in circumfer-
ence at the base, and there are no
branches Of any size below l5 feet from
the ground. There the great bole di-
vides into a number of limbs. Two,
leaving the trunk about 20 inches apart,
grow west, their lines diverging for some
6 feet, and then each rending toward
the other. Twelve feet from the body of
the tree they unite again, making a per-
feet oval, and out of this grow two
smaller branches. As if not satisfied
with that expressed disregard for the
laws of nature, this old tree has per
formed another feat. Six feet from its
base grows another white oak, less than
half its size, and no sooner does the
smaller tree arrive at the charmed cir
cles of those branching limbs than one
OF them grows right into it, and is alb
sorbed. The second tree is very much
larger 20 feet from the ground than at
its base.

r4ERe IS no NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

Say t,.e Lalvycra.

Not Even tie Lah,-r Day Act Creates oae.
Say t;,e lawyer.
There would seem 20 lie nU such ,h;ng
in this cUurtly as a maj .lnal holiday.
Lawyers assert that even Labor day.
which was set apart by act If congress
in 1894 in such manner as to lead the
cOnfiding laynian to suppose il at least
to lie "a national holiday, is not such
outside Of the District Of Columbia IN
less by state enactment. Tho creation
and regulation of holidays have been
left entirely to the legislatures of the
individual states.
The act of congress concerning Labor
day was approved June %, 1894. 1t pro-
vides "that the first Monday of Septem-
Der in each year, being the day cello
brated and known as Labor day, is
hereby made legal holiday, e. all in
tents and purposes, in the same manner
as Christmas, Jan. !, Feb. %, May 30
and July are now made by law public
holidays.
Clearly the proper construction IF
this statute can be arrived at only by
reference to the provisions bearing upon
the other holidays named. The act max
ing holidays of Jan. /, July 4, Christ
mas and 'any day appointed OF recon-
mended by the president of the United
States as a day of public fast or thanks
giving" was passed in June, 1870, and
was restricted in its effect to the Dis
trict of Columbia. These days are huli-
days III the various states only as they
are made so by the various state legis-
latuUes.
The act of Jan. 81. 1879, makes Feb
% legal holiday. and the act of Aug.
81, 1883, does the same for May 80.
and both are restricted in their applica-
tion TO the District of Columbia. The
act referring to Labor day says nothing
about the District of Columbia, but il
does say that the first Monday Of Sep
tember shall be legal holiday, Ito al
intents and purposes. in the same man
ner as Christmas, Jan. /, Feb. %, May
80 and July are now made by law
public holidays"
The intents and purposes for which
and the manner in which those days are
made holidays are expressly limited TO
the District Of Columbia, and so, by
necessary inference, is the act referring
I TO Labor day.
The misleading language of the Labor
day act has led to prevalent statement
I that the first Monday Of September Is i
holiday throughout the United States
Z by congressional enactment.-NewY York
Tribune.

An amusing little s,C.y about tho pres
ent emper-- of Germany, William II.
and a Vienna Coachman was narrated at
a banquet lately given at Vienna b.
some diplo:natists. the narrator being
himself a we'll known and prominent
member of the corps diplomatic.
In the year 1887 the present Emperor
William II Of Germany, then Prince
William of Prussia, came to Vienn.-,
visiting his particular friend and chum,
the late Crown Prince Rudolf of Aus
tria. Joined by the Prince Of Wales,
who was at that time also frequent
visitor to the Vienna court, the three
princes took fancy to mingle with the
commons Of the Vienna popu,ation.
Dressed in ordinary clothes, they visited
places which are not in the least regard
ed as suitable for princely guests.
One day they entered hotel, but in
stead of going into the dining room they
walked into the "schwemme, place
which answers in some degree to the
barroom of an American hctel; in this
room coachmen and the servants of the
hotel guests take their meals.
The three princes took seats at an
empty table, and listened, highly
amused, to fierce debate about poll cs
between several stout members of tlat
class Of fashionable Vienna coachmen
who are known all over Europe as
"fesche Wiener fiaker The distinc-
tion of those charioteers is a kind Of
good natured bOldness and droll famil-
iarity toward their customers as we'll as
to perfect strangers.
After listening awhile Prince William
put in a word, and soon was drawn into
the excited discussion. Suddenly a stout,
red faced coachman walked up to the
table where the three princes were seat
ed. and, tapping Prince William gently
ON the shoulder, said, Now, if you
should ever have anything TO say in
politics, you wouldn't set a river ON fire,
I'm sure ~
As every public cOachman in Vienna
wears a number, this coachman was
upon a special request of Prince William
easily identified. The prince sent him
handsome scarfpin with his initials as
thanks for the amusement he had fur
nished, and thus the man learned in
amazement whose political abilities
they We're that he had so belittled. -

Among the attractions of the town Of
Bourne, Mass, are two historic cellars.
One was dug by the Plymouth colony
and the other bY the Dutch traders.
These cellars lie side by side. and the
structures built over them were filed
with goods SO necessary for the comfort
of the early pilgrims us well ~ the
Dutch. The pilgrims needed manufac-
tuTed goods such as the Hollander had
for sale and the Dutch required prod
ucts such as the colony could supply.

a strange look came into it, facc, and
