London Truth asks: Is the large ruby that is set in the crown the one which has great historical as well as pecuniary value, or is it gem, the money worth of which is much smaller, and, is so, what has become of the first jewel, and when was the second introduced to take it's place? There seems to be little doubt that in the reign of George ". several of the jew els were abstracted from the crown, and also that much of the royal plate was improperly given away. Surely there are people learned in the secret history of the time, and others stored with generally unknown facts about the crown jewels. who could clear up those matters.

A somewhat remarkable quarrying feat was accomplished at Aberdeen, Scotland, recently A large stone had been drilled ready for splitting, when the thought struck the foreman that nature might aid in the object to be at tained, the idea being suggested by the severe frost which prevailed. Water was poured into each of the drill holes, and, it being Saturday afternoon, work was suspended until Monday morning, when it was found that the block of granite had completely burst open, An idea of the immense power of the frost will be gathered when it is stated that the stone thus detached measures 12 feet by feet and has weight of about six tons.

A custom house decision on fleas has. been rendered in Switzerland. A package marked '"Trained Pleas" reached Geneva. The nearest analogy the collector could find was that of June bugs which had been ruled to be "edibles." The case went from one of ficial to another till it reached head quarters, at Berne, whence after much investigation and deliberation the con- clusion was reached that the fieas came under the head of wild animals in a menagerie.

London's Fire Traps.

The Rich Mans Wife.

The man OF wealth marries a woman
who is beautiful and gracious, one who
will bear his name proudly. Her home
is handsomely appointed. She fits into
her environment as statue in its niche.
At her command are servants, horses and
carragcs--Or automobiles, in this me-
chanical generation. She is privileged
to trade upon credit and dress for her
position iii life. But too often her
pockethook contains less than the woman
in moderate circumstances, whose hus-
band has a salary and gives his wife a
stated sum to live upon. The rich wife.
if asked by members of her club for a
donation. must consult her husband first.
She has no ready money, and frequently
is obliged to ask him for paltry amounts.
She is Inundated and becomes embit-
tered; her dignity is lowered. Sometimes
she employs deceit with which to obtain
resources from him. And her thought OF
her husbands parsimony soon kills all
her tenderness.-Susan b. Anthony in

The Housewives Work.

Those who recall the old Dutch days
of New York will tell you that it was
the custom for the housewife to not only
do her own table mending, but the wash
ing Of her own little linen and lace works
of art.
On Saturday morning 4 servant would
bring in a pan of soft water made
sudsy with white soap; and another
pan of clear water, with a third pan OF
starchy water.
Seated at her dining table with her
rings laid aside anu sleeves pushed to
the elbow the thrifty dame would
squeez out her table laces and hand them
from pan to pan.
Finally she passed them over to a
maid to he carefully pulled in shape and
dried in the sun. No other hands could
do the work as well or rs lovingly.
In certGin PARIS of England. and in
many parts Of Scotland, it is the Gus
tom for the home mother to wash the
delicate tea cups aud saucers and. after
each meal. while the others are dallying
with the coffee or cracking the final
nuts, there is a splashing of hot sudS
and q rinSing of dishes, while a maid
bears the pans of water in and out and
finally takes away the shining cups upon
a tray.
To take care of ones own table is
no disgrace, be it cups or linen; and in
these days of delcacy of appointment
it becomes actually necessary for wom-
an to exercise a personal supervision, or
the drain upon the family purse will eX
coed her possibilities.

Flowers of the Cranberry.

One of the daintiest of wild flowers OF
June is the blossom of that time-hOnored
concomitant of roast turkey, the cram
berry. While. however, everybody
knows the berry, few are acquainted
with the flower, for the peat bogs where
it blows in the choice fellowship Of the
stately pitcher plant and the golden club,
aud of many a rare orchid, are quite
remote from the beaten paths of travel.
The cranberry plant is a small, slender,
somewhat trailing shrub. with the neat
est Of evergreen leaves, from amid which
few threadlike stalks lift their nod
ding flowers. When fnlly expanded the
pink lobes of each cOrolla are curled back
like 4 lily's, and from the heart of them
the compressed stamens protrude in the
shape of a spear-point or beak The
imaginative may see in this i0ng-beaked
little blossom a resemblance to a tiny
cranes head. whence some hard-pressed
etymologist has thought TO derive the
word cranberry-that is. crane-berry.-

Singing School for Thrushes.

Find a family of wood thrushes and
carefully note what takes place. The
old male thrush will sing the sweet song
in loud. clear. iutelike notes once. and
then stop to listen while the young birds
try to initiate the song. Some will utter
one note, others two. Some will utter
Il coarse note, others a sharp note. After
a while they seem to forget their lesson
and drop out one by one. When all are
silent the old thrush turns up again, and
the young thrushes repeat their efforts.
and so il goes on for hours. The young
birds do not acquire the full song the
first year; so the lessons are repeated the
following spring. | take many visitors
into the woods TO enjoy the first thrusheS'
singing school, and all are convinced that
the song of the wood thrush is a matter
of education pure and simple.-Forest

DEEP WELL IN WYOMING.
Flow of Water Struck at Depth of Half

Recent advices from Wyoming report
the completion of the deep we'll at Cam

definitely known to exist in the region.

reached without finding water, but re-

Cambria is a coal mining community
on the western slopes of the Black Hills.
The coal measures in which it is located
are estimated to cover an area of ter
square miles and to have a productive
capacity of 30,0O0,O00 tons. The expert
ment is, therefore, extremely important,
as 1t not only throws needed light on the
underground water conditions in all the
Older foundations on the western side Of
the Black Hills, but also indicates that
water supplies may be obtained in wells
over a wide area of surrounding country.
The prospects and depths of these waters

Seven.

Numerous are the queer beliefs con
corning the number seven. From the
very earliest ages the seven great plan
cts were known and ruled this world,
and the jewellers in it. and their number
entered into every conceivable matter
that concerned man. There are seven
days in the week, ''seven holes in the
head, for the master stars are seven"
seven ages both for man and the world
in which he lives. There are seven ma
terial heavens. There are seven colors
in the spectrum, and seven notes in the
diatonic octave, and the leading" note
of the scale IS the seventh. Be it noted
that the seventh son is not always gifted
with bpnefcent powers. In Portugal he
is believed to be subject to the powers of
darkness, and to be compelled every Sat
urday evening TO assume the likeness of
an ass. Lames Gazette.
