Helen Gould presented her sister with the
Esterhazy diamond. one OF the ten famous
jewels OF the world On the birth of the

\ very interesting letter was written
from Paris to a society woman in this
country describing the marvellous en-
pire fans being painted for society queens.
Among them was a fan of solid gold,
painted in oil colors. and intended as a
birthday present to Miss Virginia Fair
The fan had scenes around the old home
OF Millet al Brabazon, where the AN

with his own hands to everything he
wished to eat, and made him drink in
proportion. He asked him many ques-

answer, except by monosyllables.
AT last, wearied with his exertions,
having eaten enough for six ordinary men
and drunk proportionately, he turned to
the emperor and said:
Now, sire. | am able to answer any

HE then rose, opened his knapsack
and handed the> emperor his papers and

he would have them examined and that
he might expect soon to hear from him.

The dirt-eaters Of Kentucky are pecu-

to a more or less striking degree the same
color as the dirt-a siekly sallow. They are
lazy, stupid and entirely without energy;
sullen, ignorant and frequently half-wit-
