THE SANCY DIAMOND.

Pauline Aston.

This Magnificent Jewe. VIII Be Owned by
Pauline Aston.
In the ordinary course of events Miss
Pauline Astor will some day become
possessor of the most famous and mag
nifcent diamond owned outside of a
crown treasure. The gem in question is
the world famous Sancy diamond, owned
by her father, and were it to appear
among the jewels worn at any court
function or royal drawing room it would
entirely throw into the shade every 9th
er gem there except the Kohinoor,
which the queen always wears on state
occasions as a brooch.
The Sancy is a stone which is pos
sessed of a remarkable history. Weigh.
ing about "a carats, it at one time
formed part of the crown Jewels of
Duke Charles the Bold of Burgundy,
and on his death in battle in Switzer-
land vas found set either in his helmet
or sword hilt. The Swiss sold it to the
French king of the day, and from that
time forth it became n of the crown
jewels OF France.
1t disappeared at the time of the revo-
iutlon, reappeared at the restoration
and at the time of the second revolu-
tion in 1880 passed by purchase into
the possession of Anatole Demidoff, the
Muscovite millionaire. 1t was worn for
a time by Demidoff's wife, Princess
Mathilde Bonaparte, but he took it
from her before their separation and
then bequeathed it to his nephew, Paul
Demidoff. The latter sold it in the six
ties for the sun of $500, 900, a ridicu-
lously small price, to the late Sir
Jamsetjee Jejeehobhoy. the Parsee mil
lionaire and philanthropist of Bombay.
After his demise his heirs put it once
more in the market, and it was pur-
chased by William Waldorf Astor by
private contract, no mention being made
of the price paid. philadelphia Times.

To even Frost.

Helena, Montana, April Is, 1898.
Editor HERALD:-The United States
weather bureau isues special frost warn
ings throughot the crop growing season
and will send them at government ex-
pense to all places now receiving the
daily weather forecasts, and to any 9TH
er place if they are desired and action
will be taken to receive and distribute
them.
In fruit growing or market gardening
sections, and in districts where the sta
pie crops are liable to damage by frost,
the warnings are widely distributed and
on their receipt immediate action is
taken to protect the crops. Protection
may be given by letting water into the
bitches among the trees or in the fields
in the late evening or in the morning
before the temperature has fallen to the
danger point. Or smudges may be
built at intervals in the orchards or
fields, or perhaps better still a smudge
producing arrangement can he drawn
back and forth for hours. and with very
little expense. There are other means
OF protection against frost, all hav-
ing their principle partly in warming up
the thin layer OF air Immediately above
the ground and partly in forming a
curtain Of moisture or smoke and dust
at a little distance from the ground and
thus preventing radiation Of heat from
the ground and plants and the conse-
quent cooling of the air.
Very Respectfully,
j. Warren Smith.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
A Gun Explodes in the Hands of
Glen McIlveen Killing Him Al
most Instantly.

\ sad fatal accident was that which
occurred Sunday afternoon at the home
ef Matthew McIlveen in Neihart where
in his oldest son, Glen aged 10 was al
most instantly killed.
The awful event happened about I 80
p. m. Mr.. and Mrs. McIlveen, father
and mother of the deceased had taken a
walk up the hill back of their residence
to look at a mine where the boys Glen
and Ruby McIlveen had been working,
it having been reported that the mine
was very wet, and Mr.. McIlveen went to
see il the place was considered safe for
the boys.
While the parents were absent from
the house, the boys undertook an exper-
iment with dynamite which they were
going to shoot from a shotgun. The
charge was made ready and Glen, the
oldest, placed the weapon to his should
er to discharge it. Swapping the cap,
the charge failed to explode, and the
boy dropped the gun from his shoulder
aud placed it on the ground. He soon
picked it up and was in the act of exam
lining the charge when it exploded with
u report of terrific force. 1t burst the
gun, blew off the boys hand and drove
fragments of the gun barrel into his
breast, n striking his heart. He
walked into the house, sat down on a
lounge, and was just preparing to lie
down when he fell over and expired in
n few minutes. After sitting upon the
lounge he noticed his lacerated hand
and said. so. my hand" These were
his last words, for in a short time his
heart ceased to heat.
The younger boy was slightly injured
in the blast, II flying missile grazing his
neck. He went for a doctor aud then
ran up the hill to notify his parents of
the disaster. The closing hours ct that
bright day were of deepest gloom to
that household. Father. mother. sisters
and brother were brought face to face
to the first born of the family still in
death,-stricken suddenly while in the
beauty and strength of rising manhood.
The body was buried at Monarch
Tuesday, Rev. S. J. Hooking preaching
a funeral discourse full of power and
feeling. The entire community extends
the hand of sympathy te Mr.. and Mrs.
McIlveen and the family in their hour
of affection.
