her friends will be privileged to see
her act. At their Lakewood home, the
Goulds have erected a little theater,
perfect in appointments, with seat
ing capacity for 1876. The stage is
small, and the scenery was built to fit
it. The footlights, curtain and other
accessories are a miniature reproduce
ton of those on the best stage in New
York.
Any play, except one with an unusu-
ally large cast, which might tax the
capacity Of the stage, can be performed
in this little playhouse The appoint
ments of the house, as to lighting,
changing scenery and the hundred and
one details that go to make up the
back of stage, have been perfected
under the eye of man skilled in
theatrical work. There is a property
man, stage carpenter and an electri-
clan, whose duties are the same as
those of the men in large theaters.

About ten years ago young widow

About ten years ago a young widow
with three children went to New York.
seeking employment. The eldest child,
boy of Is, had been before the mast,
and his boyish boast Of the different
knots he could tie inspired an inven-
tive woman to order of him screen
Of tied rope. The effect was so odd
and beautiful that paying industry in
ropework resulted. BY the combined
efforts of the family, one daughter has
been enabled to study art in Paris, the
other has lately graduated from Cor
nell, and the boy is civil engineer OF

ice. my resources are what we our

The Fashionable Vinaigrette.

The vinaigrette most in demand just
now is the one which is most antique
in appearance. The dull gold or en-
dia finish" is almost exclusively used
for the top. Many Of the vinaigrettes
have precious stones sunk in the gold.
Some have the lucky four-leaf clover
and others look like small, rough
nugget. The bottles are much the
shape of the famous "tearbottles," and
vary through every cut Of the glass
makers art. Some are made of onyx
or porphyry and resemble a stick of
sealing wax surmounted by square
iridescent glass for the bottle and a
jewel for the stopper.

A curious explanation Of the method
by which longleaf pine seedlings pro-
tect themselves against forest fires Is
given by Clifford Pinchet, forester Of
the department of agriculture. In or
der to strengthen the struggle for
existence of the young tree nature
gives 1t a thickness Of bark not un-
commonly as great as that of the wood
itself, but the young trees have q
further device for the promotion OF
their safety when growing in long
grass, as they almost always do. In
the first four or five years of its growth
the longleaf Seeding seldom reaches
q height of more than four or five
inches above the ground. But while
the stem is thus making leisurely prog
ress the long needles shoot up and
bend over in a green cascade, which
falls to the ground in circle about
the Seeding. This barrier of green
needles not only burns with difficulty,
but shades out the grass around the
young stem, and so prepares double
fire-resisting shield about the vitals Of
the young tree. This is the reason
why fire, which has kept down the
growth of evergreen oaks in parts OF
Florida, for example, has made pure
forest of pines in region where oaks
thrive splendidly when they are SO
placed as to be beyond the influence Of
forest fires.

THE RUSSIAN GROWN
And the Romantic Story Concerning
One OF It's Diamonds.

And the Romantic Story Concerning
One OF It's Diamonds.
The crown of Russia is at present
presumably the richest in diamonds.
Besides several valuable collections in
the imperial treasury, there are three
crowns entirely composed of these
stones. That of Ivan Alexiowitch con-
tains SS1, that of Peter the Great SAT,
and that of Catherine H., 1886. One of
its most remarkable diamonds is the
"Orloff," nSw set In the top of the i'm
perial scepter, and on this account is
sometimes called the "Scepter" dia-
mond. The history of this stone has
been much mixed up with the Moon
of the Mountains" another great dia-
mond in the possession of the Gar.
The most authentic account seems to
be that it formed one of the eyes of
the Hindu god Sri-Ranga, to whom
was dedicated magnificent temple
situated on fortified island in Mysire.
A French deserter from the Indian SER
vice, who had been at work in the
neighborhood of this temple, hearing
of the idols eyes, determined to be-
come their possessor. AS no Christians
were permitted within the precincts Of
the pagoda, he, in order to gain the
confidence of the priests, became a
devotee and so ingratiated himself
with the Brahmins that they contided
to him the guardianship of the inner
shrine, which contained the idol
Watching his opportunity one stormy
night he succeeded in forcing one of
the eyes out of its socket and fled with
1t to Madras, where he sold the gem to
an English sea captain for $4,000,
who, in turn, disposed of it to a Jew
for G12,000. From him it was pur
chased by Kojeh, Persian merchant, |
who, at Amsterdam, while on his way |
from England to Russia, met Prince |
Orloff. This prince, in order to regain |
the favor of Catherine H., under whose |
displeasure he had fallen, bought the |
gem from the merchant for the sum of |
100000 and an annuity of $4,000, and |
presented it to his imperial mistress,
who had previously declined the pur
chase as too costly, but now accepted |
this truly royal gift from her illustri-
GUS subject. The "Orloff" diamond
weighs 1914 carats, and its estimated
value is G369,S00.

INDIAN CREMATION.
A Weird Burial Rite as Witnessed
Among the MOhaves.

Amcng the MOhaves.
The Mohave Indians burn their dead,
not because they appreciate the sani-
| tary advantages Of cremation as COM
pared to burial, but because of the ira
dition among them that the Great
Spirit was burned. They follow with
great eXactness the directions given
by the Great Spirit in regard to the
burning of his own body. AS all burn
ngs are conducted in exactly the same
manner a description ID one that was
witnessed by the writer not long since
near Fort Mohave, A. r., will serve as
type. The deceased in this case was
young buck. The medicine man had
predicted his death, and the mourning
had commenced several days before he
died. AS soon as the body was cold it
was placed on rude litter and carried
to the funeral pyre, already prepared
The Mohave funeral pyre is always
constructed in the same manner. First,
a hole about two feet deep, two feet
wide and four feet long is dug, the
long way being north and south. This
being filled with dry brush, dry willow
or mesquite logs are piled up over it
to the height of about three feet. These
logs are placed so as to form trough
on top for the body and are held in
place by green stakes. When the pail
bearers reached the pyre the litter was
raised to the top AID the body was
turned into the trough, face down and
with the head toward the south, both
essential conditions. The litter was
left on the pyre and more logs were
piled rudely on the body until it was
completely hidden. The dry brush I'M
derneath was lighted and in a minute
the whole pyre was blaze. AS soon
as the fire was fairly started the be-
longings of the Observation-Disclosures
blankets, etc.-were added to the pile.
Then the browning act of devotion was
performed by the only relatives, the
brother-in-law and sister. They re-
moved their own clothing and added
it to the wardrobe of the departed
brother. This act Is fully explained
by their belief that everything burned
at this time passes with the departing
soul to the spirit land and is used there
the same as here. Even the pony eaten
that night would carry its master
again in his new home. The scene of
the burning that night was one long
to be remembered. The blazing pile
of logs in little clearing in the mes
quite trees, the shadows of the night
pressing close around, but dispelled
in the small circle containing the
group of Indian mourners; a smaller
group of whites and the grewsome but
hidden object fast turning to ashes;
the doleful and unceasing wailing and
the stentorian tones of the chief-all
of these contributed to make the occa-
sion one of real solemnity. AS the fire !
burned low the mourners and the
whites slipped quietly away, leaving
the elements to complete their work !!
OF destruction unmatched.

Especial letter.
Amateur theatricals are again to be-
come popular in society, and this fact
gladdens many young hearts. There
is no form of social enjoyment more
entertaining than the stage art. For
this Mrs. George j. Gould must be
thanked. At house party given to
friends at their Lakewood home, Mrs.
Gould made her temperance on the
stage for the first time since she aban-
doned it as member of the profess
sion. When Edith Kingdom married
the son of Jay Gould the stage lost an
artist, and George Gould gained
handsome wife. She had been with
Days company and the Boston Stock
company, and 1t was said that she had
n future as bright as any young woman
on the stage. But with her marriage
came the determination never to act
agaiD. OF course, her return to the
stage is absolutely private. and only

Women Not Cownrdly,

When cowardice is described as =
leading feminine attribute somebody
makes huge mistake. Women do
the most daring things on record
take chances which would appal man.
They may jump at the sight or mere
mention of a harmless mouse, but they
court death several times a year. 1t Is
one of the traits which makes feminine
nature SO puzzling. have known woln-
en- who were timid to degree, under
ordinary circumstances, come forth as
heroines under the pressure of occa-
sion. A woman who shoulders at the
sight of q small cut from which blood
oozes will often exhibit marvellous
courage in a shocking accident. 1t Is
beautiful to think that dependence can
be placed upon that species OF recK-
lessness which leads us into unneces-
sary trouble.
