A CHAPTER ON CROWNS.
They Have Been Worn From he Earliest
Times,


From the earliest times the crown
has been an emblem of high honor and
authority. Originally 1t was simply a
fllet Of leaves, and was used by the
ancients in the observance Of religious
rites and festivities.
The ancient royal diadem" was a
h~eadban or fllet, worn by kings as
a mark of regality. 1t was made of
silk, of thread or Of wool, and was
wound around the temples and the fore
head n tied behind, the ends falling
on the neck.
In ancient Rome the crown was us
ually made of aurel leaves, and was
given as a reward for courageous deeds.
Among the Greeks 1t was a symbol of
office and in token OF victory. II was
bestowed upon victors in the Grecian
games. and also upon citizens that had
rendered the country important serv-
i've. The corona o~bsidionalis'' was
the crown most highly priced: ii was
bestowed by a besieged army, or town,
upon the general hat came to their
rescue. The civic crown, made of oak
leaves and acorns. was given to any
soldier hat saved the live of a citi-
zen. 1t entitled the soldier to a seat
@'NHN ~ N"N a III al upil OCCd-
sions, n he, his father and his grand
father were exempted from all public
burdens.
The corona muralis' was a circlet of
gold surrounded by ~turrets. and was
given as a reward to the first one en-
tering a beleaguered city. The cor
ona triumphalis" was the reward CIV
en- to a triumphant general.
At first the papal crown was a plain,
pointed cap. Pope Hormisdas added
the first crown, Boniface VIII. the sec
ond, and John XXI. the third, thus
making it a triple crown.
A coronet is a small crown worn by
members of the nobility. The coronet OF
a duke is adorned with eight strawber-
ry leaves; that OF a marquis with four
strawberry leaves. alternating with
four pearls; that Of an earl with eight
strawberry leaves, alternating with
eight pearls on raised points; that of a
~viscount with sixteen pearls, and that
of a baron with six pearls.
The crown of England Is supposed to
be the finest piece of regalia In the
world. Its value is variously estimat-
ed, but ii is commonly believed TO be
worth at least 81, 500, 900.
One of the finest collections OF crown
Jewels in the world is owned by the Sui
tan of Turkey. From time out of mem
DRY the sultans have made a point OF
collecting Jewels and selling none. Thus
the collection has become very great.
1t is a question whether Russia or
Persia has the greatest and most val
liable collection of crown diamonds in
the world, but the honor is supposed to
belong to one OF the two.

sent for and arrived Tuesday for the
purpose OF performing an operation for
the removal of the bullet from his abdo-
men, but upon the arrival of the doc
tors Mr.. Ennis changed his mind and de-
cided not to undergo the operation, as
IL was conceded by the physicians that

it "Old Glory" He took 1t 10 the South

is now among those acting as volunteer
nurses at the naval hospital, Flushing
avenue. Brooklyn. Miss Long and three
young society women Of Brooklyn. all
graduates OF the Johns Hopkins uni
versity, Baltimore. were duly received
last week by Medical Director Wood
and assigned to duty. Each has con-
siderable knowledge OF the theory OF
medicine. The sick ailor now being
treated there find in these young wom-
en- an agreeable change from the male
nurses to whom they have been accus-
toned. Medical Director Wood has
placed certain wards in the care Of his
few nurses, but as yet they have not
been required to remain on duty at
night. They nav a small laboratory
at their command where they can per-
form pathological and meteorological
experiments for the medical staff.
Miss Long has this to say Of the work
she and the young women have to do:
LAS the men Of the nation are going to
the front TO fight. Ii Is only proper that
the women should do what little they
can to how their patriotism. So II
was only natural that we should vol
unteer to do our hare in the character
OF nurses. What we ave earned in
the university in the theory of medi-
Gin we expect to put into practical use
in the hospital The experiment will be
a most valuable one to US, besides Civ
ing us the opportunity to do what we
can to alleviate the sufferings of the
sick and wounded lilo So far u
experience has been small. but what we
have seen has only serve to d to u
enthusiasm. and before We leave we
expect to be fitted q serve as trained
nurses anywhere. We will tay just as
long as we can be OF service"
In a hearty way the medical director
expressed his pleasure at having the
fair nurses in the hospital. Such APP
peared to be the feeling also Of all the
medical stan.

Review.

New York, July 1.-Bradstreet's FL
nancial Review tomorrow Will say:
Speculation continues to be narrow and
professional. There has been an un-
strong undertone in the
market this week, and though the pub
lie has not been a purchaser 1t has not
sold stocks. London took very little
interest in Americans and professional
interests here were somewhat divided
in their attitude. The smaller opera
tors and the board room traders were
inclined to test the market and to sell
stocks short, while some of the leading
interests have occupied themselves
from time to time by forcing the bears
TO cover, resulting in displays of a
certain mount of strength. The in
d~ustrials, however, have furnished
most of the activity, and in that group
as usual this has been in small degree
of manipulation.
The most genuine exhibition of the
markets underlying bullishness has
been supplied by the bond list, which
has been strong, and advancing appar-
entity on an investment demand, which
IS most active in the cheaper and new
er bonds of fair quality. 1t has, how

Fl. @. Russell, a scientific man OF
New South Wales, announces as a re-
suit Of a prolonged examination of his
tory from the earliestStimes, that sea-
sons of drought recur with unfailing
regularity at intervals of nineteen
years. OF two hundred and eight
droughts recorded since the year 900,
all but fifteen conform to this theory,
which is that there are, every nine
teen years, one long period of three
years during which the rainfall is
somewhat deficient, and a shorter
period between each of the longperiods
when the deficiency is excessive. He
even finds a confirmation of the Bible
chronology in the fact that the dates
Of the Egyptian drought in Joseph's
time, the drought during King David's
reign, that ~foretold by Elijah, and that
predicted by Elisha, all fall into the
nineteen-year period.
