A carved sword of honor, owned by
the Gackwar of Baroda, India, is by
far the most valuable in the world,
its hilt and scabbard being encrusted
with diamonds, rubies and emeralds
of the rarest kind, the whole being
valued at f220,000. Several of the ma
tive Indian princes have swords OF
honor of more than half the value of
that belonging to the ruler of Baroda,
the golden hilts being studded with the
most valuable precious stones. The
Shah of Persia had sword valued at
upwards of 10000 which he wore on
his visit to Great Britain. The czar
of Russia and the sultan of Turkey
possess swords, set with diamonds and
other precious stones worth thousands
of pounds. The sword of honor pre-
sented to Lord Wolseley by the Egyp-
tians is set with diamonds and valued
at f2,000.

Court Proceeding. by Telephone.

A litigation was up in magis-
trate's court at Castalian Springs,
eight miles from Gallatin. 1t was
during the cold weather, and j. Tom
Durham, of Gallatin, was counsel for
one Of the litigants. The trial was
held in country store in which there
was telephone. Eight miles ride
through the cold was too much for
the constitution OF the lawyer. A
happy thought suggested itself to the
attorney-he would use the telephone,
conduct the suit aud remain in his
Office by the freside.
The case was. called, all the wit
nesses were present and the SUIT be.
gan. Attorney Durham arranged for
an assistant, who was to stand at the
telephone and act as interlocutor,
while he did the rest. The attorney
carried on q careful and rigid ex-
animation of the witnesses, even cross
examining the opposing sides. At
the conclusion of the evidence Lawyer
Durham made strong and effective
argument. which was repeated TO the
court by the man at the telephone at
that end of the line. ne.--Nashyille Ban

An Opera for the Queen.

With reference to the bequest made
to the corporation eighteen years ago
by certain Sig. Favale, says the Lon.
don City Press, 1t seems that, in addl.
tion to the money left to form mar.
riage portions for city maidens the
signor bequeathed to her majesty his
unpublished tragic opera in three acts
entitled "Elzira." His last request was
that her majesty should command Its
representation, and that the proceeds
should be devoted to the poor OF Lon
don. That opera is still preserved in
the archives, but up to the present nc
step has been taken to insure its pro.
duction. Perhaps one day we shall see
It given in the theater the Guildhall
School of Music now possesses.

brakeman, "did you ever hear how the

Gulf Summit last summer We'll, while
getting out railroad ties in q slashln'
over back OF the Summit, Abe More
house was bitten in the leg by a rat
tlesnake. A Susquehanna doctor was
at once sent for and the leg was band
aged tightly above the wound. IL
was expected that Morehouse would
die before the doctor could come up
the pike on his bike. Just as soon as
the leg was barred to put on the band
age IL was attacked by swarm of
mosquitoes, and when the doctor ar
rived he found the man ms lively as a
cricket and in no need of doctor, but
the ground was covered with dead and
dying mosquitoes. They had sucked
the poison from the wound and saved
Warehouses; life. Tho mosquitoes pre-
sented their bills and died. The doc
tor presented his bill and got his
money. This was hard on the NOS
quitoes, but / presume Warehouses;
life was worth savln'. There was Sol
Timson, another brakeman. Sol used
to brake on the Delaware division,
from Susquehanna to Port Jervis. He
had the ague awfully. Had It SO bad
that some of his teeth shook out, and
he shook the buttons off his coat. A
lot of his friends had sure cures for
the ague, and each gave him the pre-
scription. At last when he had 13
prescriptions, he took them all to
Port Jervis drug store and had them
put up. He took them home and put
them all into one jug. Then he shook
the jug, mixed the 13 prescriptions
thoroughly, and took three doses. He
never shook again until the hearse
struck stone.'

Carondelet street car the other after
noon. The car was going south. At
Lami street big. portly woman got
aboard. On her arm she Carried Il
large market basket that apparently
was filled with "bnrgnin" purchases
from some department store. Three
minutes after she had sat down and
deposited the basket between her feet
on the floor the conductor came along
with the usual cry, Fare, please"
The old lady opened her purse and
began rummaging through the various
pockets for nickel. Again and again
she went through it, but no change
was to be found. Then she turned to
the conductor and said:
II was sure had saved car fare, but
cannot find it. live at the end Of
your line and will pay you then"
"That won't do; must have your fare
now" said the fare collector.
"Well, haven't the money"
"Well, give me something the value
OF nickel, and you cnn redeem it ut
the end of the line"
The old lady hesitated a moment,
then put her hand down into the
basket and drew out bar OK laundry
soap and handed it to him.
Everybody in the car laughed, but
the conductor took the soap and rang
up her fare.-St. Louis Star.
