The Pearl. of an Empress.

An interesting story is told concern
ing some of the jewels belonging to
the empress of Germany. She OWES
very fine necklace, made of large
pearls, well matched in size and singu-
larly pure in color The necklace, how
ever, had been laid aside for some time
away from the light and air, and as
a natural result the color of the pearls
had suffered considerably. In fact,
when the empress took out her neck
lace it was so discolored that she found
that she could not possibly wear it
in it's then condition. The court jew
eler, when appealed to, gave it as his
opinion that nothing would restore the
pristine purity of the pearls except 4
very Long immersion in the sea. A
glass case was accordingly made with
holes in it to admit the water, the
pearls were deposited in it, and it was
sunk "fuH fathoms five'' in the waters
of the North sea. The spot chosen is
close to the shore, and 1T is said that
sentries are on duty night and day

DON'T FEEL PAIN.
The Ikamr's Tough Skin Is Very Often
q Great Protection.

n frCat
Nearly everybody knows that the
Kaifir has an extra skin beyond the
number apportioned to the white man,
and the fact of this additional cuticle
may account for the extraordinary in
sensibility of this race to physical pain.
The following facts are vouched for by
writer as being absolutely correct:
In a smithy near Bloemfontein one
afternoon some one noticed strong
and pungent smell as of flesh burning
On inquiry being made it was discov-
cred that a stout Kaflir boy was stand
ing barefooted on redhot horseshoe
which had somehow fallen on the
ground. Strange as it may seem he
had not the slightest knowledge that
the burning mass was beneath his foot,
and, although an enormous blister was
soon raised, he averred that he felt no
pain whatever.
All black men have the reputation of
owning thick skulls, but what will be
thought of the Kaffir who fell from a
second-story window, about Is feet,
humping his head on the ground as he
fell, and who rose after u few seconds,
brushed the dust from his hair and pur-
sued his way, laughing at the incident?
Another instance of this eXtraordi-
nary insensibility to suffering comes
from cycle makers shop in johannes
burg. A Kaffir, in the course of his
work, had the whole of his forefinger
nail on the right hand torn off by thc
machinery. In an instant he plunged
the mutilated member into a vat cen
tanning boiling alum and bore the pain
with simply a slight vince. By resort
ing 10 this course he showed himself
an adept in the art of self cure, for a
day or two later the finger was pain.
less, and the nail soon grew again. But
the extraordinary part cf the business
is that process which would probably
have made the ordinary white man lose
consciousness did nothing more in the
case of the Kafiir than elicit grin of
pain.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Biggest Rig Tree.

If q section of this tree were taken

One of the very few epigran1matic ut
terances of the multi-rlillionaires OF
America-one which has become as IA
miliar to the people of the English
speaking world as Shakespearean quota
tions-was the public be damned" dec
laration of the late Y, lillian II. Wander
bilt. ThousaD Dds, almost millions, have
used it in one way or another since it
was uttered :. ..-e early summer of
1882, and in every political campaign
since that time it has been the theme of
countless anti-monopoly discourses.
Yet very few if any of those who have
used it could tell even one of the cir
cumstanccs under which the express
sion was given to the public.
To Col. Nate A. Reed, of Chicago, at
present editor of the Banner of Gold,
belongs the sole credit of preserving
the famous phrase from the oblivion to
which an obtuse reporter was about to
consign it, when he rescued it and made
it household phrase, especially with
the populists, and the full story of how
this was done is now probably given to
the public for the first time by one
who was present at the time.
Clarence P Dresser ran a sort of
suburban news bureau in South Chicago
in 1882, supplying all of the papers with
the same matter. He was ambitious to
become a railroad editor and never
missed trying to see the magnates who
passed through his baiiwick. Col. Reed
was at that time night editor of the
Chicago News and was a man with Z,
"keen nose for news" Late one night
in the early summer of 1882 Dresser
entered the News Office with his bundle
of duplicate manuscripts to deliver the
news quota. Col. Reed met him and as
usual asked what Dresser had that
night. Dresser gave some of what he
considered the best Of his news and
then said that he had tried to secure al
interview with William II. Vanderbilt
ON an important public question, but
had poor success.
what did Vanderbilt say to you
about it?'' asked Reed, carelessly, half
dismissing the interview matter from
his mind.
ooh, nothing" Dresser replied. when
Iasked him about the matter, saying the
public would like TO hear his views, he
answered only: The public be damned
I could not get anything more from
him"
What was that?" almost shouted
Reed, awake in an instant to the great
value of the expression. What did he
say? Did he say: The public be
damned?' Are you sure?"
Dresser declared that those were the
very words used.
go right into my room and write
everything you can about that express

pushing Dresser into the night editors
sanctum. "NIind you do not miss a
point of it, and make The public be
damned stick out above everything.
I'll see that you are well paid for it,
AS soon as Dresser entered the room,
which was on the fourth floor of the
News office, Reed locked the door and
kept Dresser prisoner for the rest of
the night, thus assuring the News
"clean SCOOP on all of it's Chicago con-
temporaries.
The interview was published with cir
cumstantial details that morning and
was soon copied all over the world
