A tender-hearted youth was once
present at an Oxford supper, where
the fathers of those assembled were
being roundly abused for their parsi-

their sons. At last, after having
long kept silence, he lifted up his
voice in mild protest. after all,
gentlemen" he said, let us remem-

lovely Duchess d'Oosta, Duchess
de Guise and Princess Louise of
Orleans, yet unmarried. Her broth
ers are the dukes of Orleans and
Montpensier, and it Is said that the
reconciliation which has taken place
between the former and King Ed
ward anent the dukes indiscreet ut
terances about the disgraceful carl
catures of Queen Victoria was due
to the tactful intercession of Queen
Amelie, who, like her consort, is on
terms of the most intimate friend

The queen has two sons, the duke
of Braganza, nearly IA years old, and
the duke Of Beja. who is ~ years Of
age. The one is destined for the
army and the other for the navy,
the latter being also the profession
of the father, who is, like King Ed
ward, passionately fond of the sea.
King Carlos, by the way. is related
to the English royal family. his
grandfather being Prince Ferdinand
OF Saxe-Coburg, cousin of the late
prince consort. Curiously enough his
birthday falls on the same day as
that of his wife.

Some brides may be inclined to re-
gret that the old marriage custom OF
the dow purse has fallen into disuse.
1t was the custom of the bridegroom to
fill a purse with a goodly sum of mon
ey and present it to the bride on the
wedding day as the price of the pur-
chase of her person. 1t sounds like
slavery. like the buying of goods and
chattels, yet the bride had nice little
sum of money for her own use.
Some of the oldest inhabitants Of
Cumberland may remember a similar
custom in that county. The bride
groom provided himself with number
of gold and silver pieces, and at the
words with all my worldly goods
thee endow" he handed the clergyman
his fee and poured the other coins into
a handkerchief held out for that pur-
pose by the bride.
In other places, again, the bride had
the right to ask her husband for a gift
of money or property on the day after
the wedding, and he was bound i'll
honor to grant the request.-London

The discoloration of precious stones
when they have been exposed to the
air for a long time is considered one of
the most frequent maladies. Emeralds,
rubies and sapphires are those which
remain intact best. Nevertheless, they
are not exempt from changes. Two
rubies of the same size and shade
were kept for two years-one in q
showcase and the other away from all
light. At the end of this term a com
parison revealed that the first had be-
come somewhat lighter in color.
The influence of light makes itself
felt more plainly on topazes and gar
nets. The garnet turns much paler in
a short time. while the topaz assumes
a darker shade and even loses the bril-
liancy possessed by it when freshly
cut.
The most sensitive stone in this re-
spect is the opal. This stone draws its
marvellous rainbow reflections from nu-
merous little clefts, which allow the
light to pass, and reflect it in different
directions. Often the opal stands the
manipulations of cutting and polishing
we'll, and all of sudden it splits.
Pearls deteriorate very easily. In the
fire they are transformed into piece
Of lime. Placed in contact with an acid
they behave as lime or marble would
under the same conditions.
Diamonds are less sensitive; still, it
it not prudent to take them too near
the fire.-Philadelphi Inquirer.

Fielding and "Tom Jones'"

Notwithstanding the good prices he
received for his books, Fielding was
always more or less in difficulties from
his reckless mode of living. "Tom
JONES'" however, was nearly being sac
rificed in one of his impecunious fits
for the sum of EOS. The publisher for
tunately asked for day to consider if
he could risk such a sum, and Fielding
In the meantime met Thomson, the
poet, to whom he told the transaction.
Thomson scorned the idea of Fielding
parting with his brains for such a sum
and offered to get him better terms,
but Fielding felt himself partly pledg-
ed. Never did author wait more anx-
iously on a publisher hoping to be ac-
cepted than did Fielding hoping to be
refused. He was refused!
Joyfully he carried his manuscript to
Thomson to fulfill his promise. The
poet introduced Fielding to Andrew
Miller, who handed the book over to
merits and advised her husband to
keep it. Over a pleasant dinner given
by Miller to Fielding and Thomson the
bargain was made which secured
Fielding, to his great delight, f200 for
the story. Miller is said to have clear
ed G18,O00 by TON JONES'" out Of
which he paid Fielding from time to
time various sums to the amount of
$4,000, bequeathing him also hand
some legacy.

AS late as the end of the sixteenth
century in London the sole method OF
extinguishing fires was by means of
contrivances known as hand squirts."
These were usually made of brass,
with a carrying capacity ranging from
two to four quarts of water. The two
quart "squirts" were two and a half
feet in length, one and a half inches in
diameter at their largest part and but
half an inch at the nozzle. On each
side were handles, and three men were
required to manipulate squirt"
One man on each side grasped the
handle in one hand and the nozzle in
the other while the third man worked
the piston or plunger, drawing it out
while the nozzle was immersed in a
supply of water which filled the cyln-
der. The bearers then elevated the
nozzle when the other pushed in the
plunger, the skill of the former being
employed in directing the stream Of
water upon the fire. Such primitive
contrivances are said to have been
used during the great fire of 1866.
