One woman who lives in Pine avenue

Monday. She left her home with purple
plumes in her bonnet, and she lost not

She had read an advertisement In a
Sunday newspaper. 1t told her that she
could buy a bottle of ink for l cent.
The woman bought the ink for penny
and asked that it be delivered to her
home. The clerk said nothing. Neither
did the man in the parcel-room. He
worked by himself. Delivering a penny
purchase was ripe walnuts to the man.
Next day a wagon with a silk hated
man on the drivers seat and a freckle-
faced boy as tiger on the rear step
rolled up in front of the house in Pine
avenue.
The freckle-faced lad ran up the
steps and crushed the electric button

the livers used are those of the common

The Great Seal of England.

The seal consists of a large mass Of
sterling silver, measuring about six and
a half inches in diameter by one and a
quarter inch in depth or thickness. 1t is
in two parts, both smooth on the outer
side, but deliberately engraved within.
These two surfaces are impressed upon
a lump of wax attached in an ingenious
way to any document to which her
Majesty as sovereign gives her royal
assent. The weight Of the seal is one
hundred and eighty-tive ounces, and
its value in metal about f30. Each seal
is engraved during the reign of the
sovereign whose name it bears, and the
collection presents a curious and accu-
rate epitome of English history. All
lord chancellors have taken the great
est care of the seals in their charge,
and have contrived recesses and elab-
crate devices for their safe custody.
One of them, in the reign of Charles
H., actually slept with the seal under
his pillow, and by this loving precau-
ton saved it from thieves who one
night broke into his house and carried
off the mace belonging to the House Of
Lords and other valuable property

RELIC OF LIVINGSTONE.
Section of Tree Under Which His Heart
Was Buried Carried to England.

Was Buried Carried to England.
In that portion of South Africa which
is now called Rhodesia, at the small
settlement of Chitambo, just south of
Lake Bangweolo, DR.. Livingstone, the
famous African explorer and mission
airy, gave up his life on May l, 1878.
The Royal Geographical Society has
just received a remarkable relic of DR..
Livingstone in the shape of a section of
tree trunk. When the great explorer
died there was intense grief among
those natives to whom he had endear-
ed himself. They opened the body, re-
moved the heart and placed it in tin
box which they buried under a large
tree. Around this they erected fence.
An inscription was cut on the tree
by order of one of DR.. Livingstone's
men. while the Royal Geographical
Society sent subsidies to the native
chiefs of the district in order to pre-
serve the sanctity of the spot. Living
stones body was roughly embalmed,
sent to England and buried in West
minister Abbey, but for more than
twenty years no white man visited the
site of the tree under which his heart
had been placed.
Reports were some time ago received
that the tree was decaying, and Mr..
