THE QUEENS DIADEM.
The British Imperial Crown Is n Gre
alton of Truly Wonderful
MngniHcence.

Queen Nictoria's crown, or, to give
It its full name and style, The I'm
perial State Crown of Her Majesty
Queen Victoria" in sheer costliness, if
not in magnifcence of design, is un-
rivaled by any other diadem in Europe.
Its weight is exactly 80 ounces, pvt,
troy, and its value has been variously
estimated at from 100000 20 81 ,5O0,-
900. The body of the crown consists of
crimson velvet cap, lined with the
finest white silk, and finished with an
ermine border. just above the ermine
border is a band containing two rows
of pearls; the upper row has 112 and
the lower 1919 of these beautiful gems.
Between these rows, and at the front of
the crown, is large sapphire, obvious
ly Of great value, and stated to be a
relic Of the diadem of George ". AT
the back is another sapphire, rather
smaller. and between the two are six
other sapphres and eight emeralds.
Around the band are also fixed va
riety of trefoil ornaments containing
2s6 diamonds. Above the band are
eight more sapphires surmounted by
eight diamonds, iod connected by
eight festoons, consisting of 100 dia-
monds.
Just over the large sapphire in front,
and in the center of Maltese cross,
is great unpolished ruby. This is a
very celebrated stone, having been
given to Edward, the Black Prince, by
Don Pedro, king of CASTLE, after the
battle of Najara, in 1867. In accord
ance with the eastern practices, it is
pierced quite through, small ruby fill
ing the upper part of the piercing. The

other Maltese crosses, each having an
emerald as centerpiece, contain be-
tween them $50 brilliant diamonds.
Between the crosses are four French
feur-de-lis, each with ruby in the
center, and containing rose diamonds
TO the total of 342. The four arches
springing from the Maltese crosses are
composed Of acorns and oak leaves, and
contain 72S diamonds. Each of the 20
smaller acOrns consists of single pearl
imbedded in a cup made of 81 diamonds.
From the upper part of the arches are
suspended four large pearls in the
shape of acorns, each cup formed of 12
rose diamonds, the stems being com
posed of "a very small diamonds.
Resting on the arches is the mound,

Above the mound is the cross. contain
Ing a large sapphire, with four very
large and los smaller diamonds. There
IS thus a grand total of upward of 3,10O
jewels. Moreover, unlike many Euro
pean crowns, the stones are really pre-
cious stones, and not glass limitations.
The Koh-i-Noor, the most worldfa

majesty in a bracelet, and on other

Anderson, baron of the eXchequer, and
as Miss Anderson Lord Robert Cecil fell
in love with her Lord Roberts father
disapproved of the marriage, and
sthaightway the young couple took the
matter into their own hands and were
married. Because of this, Lord Rob
ert's father would have nothing to do
with them, and the young man was
forced to turn to newspaper work to
support his wife. In his early work, as
well as in his political duties, his wife
helped him greatly by acting as his
amanuensis.
The first eight years of Lady Sails
bury's married life were spent in this
way, until on the death of his brother,
Lord Robert Cecil became Lord Gran
bourne, and journalism was put aside
for the work of the politician. 1t was
ut this time that Lady Salisbury took
upon herself the duties of a political
hostess-duties which became her well.
She was shrewd, practical and of STEADY
Judgment, and when her husband sue
ceeded to the marquisate she took her
position as mistress of Hatfield house

bury has been foreign secretary, and
three times prime minister, so thot
Lady Salisbury political and social du-
ties have been by no means light.
Among those favored folk who know
Lady Salisbury in private life she is
greatly beloved for her kindly sympa-
thy and the steadfastness of her regard.
The hauteur which she bears so well
as the wife of the English premier in
political circles vanishes at home. Like
Mrs. Gladstone, Lady Salisbury has no
iCve for the smart set in society. OF
late years the parties at Hatfield have
been composed mainly of members Of
the family; but when she was stronger
Lady Salisbury delighted in gathering
about her the cleverest men and women
of the day. Few know it, but the man
agement of the big estate at Hatfield
has always been under Lady Sails
bury's care, and in her most active days
the tenants knew her as a good bust
ness woman who allowed nothing to es-
cape her eye.-Chicago Record.

IS AN ABLE WOMAN.
The MarchiOness of Salisbury Has
Done Much to Increase Her
Husbands Influence.

One of the most interesting, and at
the same time most capable women of
England to-day is Lady Salisbury. In
her capacity as a political hostess, ii
is doubtful if her equal could be found,
and tits not too much to say that on sew
eral occasions, through her tact, stray
ing politicians have been brought into
the paths which, according to her hus-
bands views, are the right ones. The
story of her life is interesting not only
to England and the English, but to
all who can appreciate the noble quail
ties of a good woman. In her younger
days she was the heroine of a somewhat
romantic courtship. She was the
daughter of the Hon. Sir EdwardHall

FOR SLEEPLESSNESS.
A Good Cry May Perhaps RiGhtfuIiy
He Considered an Easy Cure
for Insomnia.

Medical science is rampant just now.
We have been told not to do so many
things that if we obeYed all our coun-
The latest standardization a Russian
Goctor-is that we must not try TO
blush, laugh or weep much, unless we
want to suffer from insomnia. His OBJ
servations have led him to conclude that
persons who do either of these three
things "easily" are more liable to sleep
lessness than others.
l should like to be told how we are to
help blushing. Is not the timid debu
tante always asking that question, and
asking it in vain? And is she afflicted
by want OF sleep? AS regards laughter,
/ have observed that nervous people
often have bad night if they have
been tenn ted to excessive hilarity just
before bedtime, but as to the effects of
weeping, | am not sure. 1t has been
said that the greatest sufferers from
insomnia are the people who rarely al

call "a good cry" but rather let their
sorrows eat their hearts out in stolcal
silence.
One does not lie awake brooding over
a trouble which may be soothed by
tears. But now let me give you brand
rev remedy for eeplessness-new, at
least, to this country, for it comes from
the Samoan islands. The natives, when
inclined to be waleful, get up and hunt
around until they find a snake. Having
caught their soother, they confine him
in a hollow bamboo, when he emits a
Kissing sound, which--so we are told
is unfailing in the inducement of sleep.

by Josh Billings: The reason why

Girls Quit Wearing Claws.

The day has gone by when claws are
fashionable on a girls hand. Fingers
terminating with long, sharp nails are
10 longer common. Girls no longer re
sembie birds of prey, for their white
hands are now distinctly feminine; the
nails cut short, no longer than the
finger tips. 1t is the fashion to trim the
finger slightly rounded; that is, a trite
down at the corners of the finger nail.
A nail will assume in growing the shape
In which it is habitually trimmed. DR..
Louis Starr recommends that children's
nails, on both hands and feet, should
be trimmed straight across, and not
in a pointed or round form. This is
rood advice to follow with the little
ones.
