The blue or sapphire tint is about the
rarest OF colors ever assumed BY the dia-

like romance. Ii was the first blue
diamond to come to Europe, weighed in

brought from India by the famous traveller
Iavernier i'll 1912, and was sold to Louis

It appears to have been in the last years
of the Roman republic and the first of the
empire that the polished Latin language
reached its highest point Of perfection in
the writings of Cicero, Horace, Virgil and
others, but by the influx of strangers, by
the gradual decline of Roman feelings
and Roman spirit and by the intermix-
ture of the classic forms with the dialects
of the provinces it became corrupted, the
process of deterioration going on with
double rapidity after the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of the Roman empire in the fifth century
Thus were formed the modern French,
Spanish, italian and Portuguese.
The English language also owes much
to Latin, both directly by derivation from
the classical forms at second hand through
the Norman French. Latin continued to
DO the diplomatic language of Europe till
comparatively recent period. 1t is still
the medium of communication among the
learned of the world and is now, as it has
always been, the official language Of the
Roman Catholic church.

these people, partly because of it's size and

These stilettos are made in many styles,

is one made as pair Of scissors. This Is

of things, is most likely to DO near ut

this is an ordinary pair of scissors, but
when closed it becomes q perfect and a

A great many women always carry these

An auctionesr on East Washington
strset-one of those redoubtable indi-
viduals commonly termed "slick'-was
the cause Of farcicsl scene recently
that would have done credit to q bur
lesQue show. He had been talking In
dustriously for long time to crowd Of
interested but enthusiastic listeners.
The affable auctioneer conscientiously
went through his repertory from begin
ming to end, but somehow the crowd did
not warn up" to him-to quote his own
language. Finally, with dark look that
bordered on despair, he grabbed up
well known pasteboard harbox contain
ing about 30 spools Of silk thread Of diff
ferent colors. With the grace Of con-
jurer he extracted FIVE OIL the spools and.
arraying them in tempting semicircis
on the counter, announced that they were
ITO 60 at any price,"
But the audience, while admitting with
mods of approval that they were good
spools of thread, displayed NO marked
inclination to become excited over them.
Not bid was offered.
"Pll sell 'em for 10 cents" suggested
the auctioneer timidly. 1t was plain
from the tone of his voice that he was
losing faith in himself and in all the
world. There were no takers. The
man of the red Gag added three more
spools to the semicircle. "All for 10
eents," he declared. But thread stock
was far below par. The auctioneer
caught up all the spools from the coun-
ter and flung them into the box with an
impressive gesture. The light Of in
SEPARATION flashed from his eyes.
"The whole blamed box for 10 cents!'
he cried.
IN take IT," was the prompt response,
and little man in washed out over
coat and wearer Of red chin whiskers
stepped out from the crowd with dirty
10 cent piece in his appraised hand. The
auctioneer clutched the money feverish-
~, and, turning the box upside down so
that all the spools dropped into basket
on the counter, he handed the worthless
piece Of ancient pasteboard to the anx-
ious customer. A roar Of hilarious
laughter rose from the crowd that was
heard throughout that neighborhood.
II don't want your blamed old box!'

"Yeu said you'd take IT," replied the

A QUICK PICTURE.
Remarkable Feat of Mr. Lionel wal.
den, an American Arttst.

Remarkable Feat of Mr.. Lionel wall
den, an American Arttst.
II il reported in the cable dispatches
that Nessrs. Lionel Walden and Erred
Dumand, Americans, have been awarded
third class medals for old paintings at
the Paris salon. 1t is supposed that these
are the only two Americans who have
been so honored this year.
Mr.. Clinton Peters, u portrait painter,
who has lived in Baltimore. for two or
three years, was in Paris In 1875 When
Walden arrived there from Cardiff,
Wales. Walden is originally from Cincin-
natl, being the only son Of Bishop john
M. Walden of tho Methodist Episcopal
church. Bishop Walden wanted his son
to enter the ministry, but the youth pre-
ferred art instead and went abroad.
Mr.. Peters was among the first whom
Mr. Walden met when he reached the
French metropolis and, both being Amer
leans, they became friends. -Four days
before paintings seeking place in the
salon had to be submitted to the judges
Walden remarked:
Peters, this is the only salon that
haven't had picture in yet, and if only
had a frame would get up one in short
order"
Mr.. Peters demonstrated, saying that
his friend couldn't paint salon picture
in four days, but he added that he had
frame 6 by 4 feet that he would put at
Mr.. Walden's disposal if the latter want
ed It,
Mr.. Walden took the frame, bought a
canvas and went to work. He had a
rough sketch which he had made on the
back of an envelope from car window
while on his way to Paris. There were
railway tracks in the foreground and a
vista In the background, and this was to
be his theme.
Strange to say, Walden painted the
picture in four days, and it was admitted
to the salon. BY two votes it missed re-
ceiving a medal. The French govern
ment wanted it, however, for the Lux
embourg museum, and asked Walden
his price. He said 500 would do, but
the secretary made mistake and sent
in the figure as 5000. Then one fine day
Walden got letter from the authori-
ties asking him whether he would take
$500 for that four days picture.
"Walden broke all records on BIZ
cycle" said Mr.. Peters yesterday, going
to accept the offer before the mistake
was discovered. He got his money, and
since then he has done much good work.
lie has had several paintings in the sa-
lon, and am very glad to hear that he
has been awarded medal this year.
That four days work of his, though,
was one Of the best four days work ever
done In Paris.'

Is Interpreted in London as means of
satisfying Queen Victoria that her
troops are ready for any emergency
they may be called upon to meet in
the Transvaal or elsewhere. 1t is
known now that the queen returned
from Balmoral castle, Scotland most
ly for the purpose Of attending this re-
view, and, in view of the fact Of her
majestys natural reluctance-te attend
such functions, the importance of this
review is manifested. Not since the
queens Jubilee has more magnificent
army corps passed before a European
sovereign, and while 5000 additional
troops remained in their barracks, the
display afforded the queen ample evil
dence of her military resources. All
the regiments which took part in the
review we're those which would an
swer the first hurry call to arms for
the Transvaal or elsewhere.
