Jewels Of Austria's Empress.


At Cap Martin you may find the Empress
of Austria, who casts of all the cares OF
royalty and INDUCES her taste for simple
living and fresh air. She walks for miles
every day in the most sensible. serviceable
costumes, and any ore who met her in
her walks abroad, quite unattended. and
so simply clad, would scarcely realize that
she was a great empress, and had at her
disposal some of the most beautiful Jewels
which ever were seen. The Austrian col
lection is the finest collection of jewels in
Europe-in fact, the only one since the
crown jewels of France were broken up
ard bought by the modern millionaires.
The bejeweled arms are quite magnificent.
and among the most noticeable of them is
the lance of ST. Maurice. blazing with pre-
cious stones and containing in the handle
the most authentic relic-a nail from the
true cross; while the regalia of Charlie
magne, taken from his tomb at Aix-Ia-
Chapelle. is another valuable item. But
the empress own jewels are almost equal
ly magnificent. She Possesses the largest
emerald in the world. weighing 5000 kar-
ats: but of course this is uncut Another,
nearly large, is followed out as a bon
bonniere. and one of her prettiest orna-
ments is a watch composed of one dark
emerald hanging on TO a chain of emeraids
and diamonds tthe first jeweled chain
which was ever made). and this was Agift
from the late Shah of Persia when he visit
ed Europe some years ago.

The Care Of silver.

From Harper's Bazar.
One of the many things that are impossi-
BILE for the unframed mind to grasp seems
to be the fact that If an article is never
allowed to become dirty it will never need
cleaning. In all branches Of housework
this rule holds good. especially in the care
of silver. The average maid finds it neces-
sary to devote large part of one day out
of every seven to scrubbng and cleaning
forks. knives and spoons that should never
have been allowed to become dirty enough
to demand such exertion. When these ar
ticles are once clean they should be kept
in. that condition. IT, after using, each
piece of silver is washed in very hot water
and wiped Immediately dry on an immacu-
late towel, 1t will retain it's luster for days
and weeks. IL by any chance a spot of
tarnish appears 1t can be readily banished
by brisk rubbing with piece Of chamois
skin.
Extra silver that is not needed for every
day use will keep clean, for months lying
untouched in a tightly closed chest or
trunk II the mistress of the house will her
self take the precaution to see that Ii Is
put away clean. Each article must be
thoroughly washed and rubbed to fine
polish and wrapped by itself in tissue pa
per. Then when the arrival Of guests calls
the stlverware into demand 1t viii need no
hurried polishing to make 1t presentable.
