A Royal Love Letter.

Sir Benjamin Stone, M F., was al lowed last year to photograph in the Vatican a number of MSS. relating to Great Britain and going back hundreds of years. Some of them have never been in print. One, we are told, which excited deep interest, was letter of Henry VIII. to his dear Anne Boleyn." It was quite in the style of a lover signing like a furnace" The anxious monarch writes;
 "The approach of the time, which have so long expected, rejoices me so much that it seems almost already come. However, the entire accomplish ment cannot be until two persons meet, which is more desired by me than anything else in the world. For what joy can be greater upon earth than to have the company of her who is my dearest friend, knowing like wise that she does the same on her part?-the thinking on which gives me pleasure. You may judge what effect the presence of that person must have on me whose absence has made greater wound in my heart than either words or writing can express, and which nothing can cure but her re- turn.
 At the foot of this scroll is the figure of heart. inserted amid the words, HI. cares for no other Rex"

 deplore his lack of chance? A re- porter has recently ascertained that TO per cent of the cleverest men of the Chicago Exchange were brought up on farms. While mere circumstances of birth may sometimes make or mar suc- cess in life, 1t is doubtless true that the all-round education of the farm fs enc of the best foundations for spe- eIsIization in any future career.

"The clocks in the white house." re- marked an official clock-winder to a Washington Star reporter, "are by no means the most uninteresting things about the house, though but little has ever appeared about them in the news papers. Strange as 1t may appear, but one of the old clocks is of American manufacture, though all that have been purchased of late years are. The one clock referred to was made in New York and was purchased when James Monroe was president It is one of the permanent fixtures in the green room and has been there ever since it was purchased. As timepiece it com pares favor2bly with any of the for cign- made clocks, though it was made a a time when America was not as famous for it's timepieces as it is now. The most interesting clock there, of course. from its history is the clock In the blue parlor, which was once ths property of Napoleon Bonaparte. who presented it to General Lafayette, and the latter presented it to General Washington. The frame of it is made of alabaster and French gilt bronze. It has to be wound but once month. It keeps time today as accurately as when first made.
 s'What is known as the Lincoln clock, purchased when President Lln- coin was in the white house, is an oh- jeet of interest in the red room, and is of ebony and gold. It strikes tho quarters, halves and hours. In Krs. McKinleyss room Is clock which has been running without the slightest in. termission for nearly thirty years. The clock at the foot of the stairs leading up to the presidents office is the one that the public generally sees. It Is rather modern in construction, of the regulator pattern, and is very reliable
 ''The clock in Private Secretary Por- ter's room is admired for it's cathedral gong rather than anything else, but it is a good clock and has so proven itself for the ten or fifteen years 1t 1as been there.'

Atmospheric Changes FOretoId by 8 Stone
 In Finland. species of stone, known as .tsemakuir," actually foretells the probable changes in the weather. In dry, fine weather the stone is of dark gray color mottled with white spots, but before approaching showers of thick mists it biackens all over-most conspicuously, of course, at the spaces which were previously White-and gradually returns again to it's former state as the weather improves. Its prophetic warnings are regarded by many as having superstitious origin, but recent analysis of the stone ex- plains the cause and shows that there is nothing whatever mysterious in it's action. IL is composed of a ground mass of clay and fossilized organic matter, with little rock salt and nj ter scattered throughout in grains and small patches. These salts absorb the aerial moisture as it increases in amount, and dissolve in it, forming black surface films, while they regain their white color as the drier atmos- phere evaporates the moisture from them. The east-off shell of a species of crab in Chilli answers the same pur- pose, being extremely sensitive to at mospherie changes. It remains quite white in fair, dry weather, while ap- preaching rain is indicated by the ap- pearance of small red spots, which grow both in number and size as the moisture of the air increases.
