Most Costly Handkerchief.

The dowager queen Of Italy is in
possession of the most costly hand
kerchief in the world. It fs of the
earliest Venetian lace. Though made
in the fifteenth century. iris unique
handkerchief is in a perfert state Of
preservation. Its value is estimated
at $4,000, but Queen Marghartta
would not part with it at any price.
Queen Margharita always was fond of
collecting old lace, and she still has
this passion. After her majesty's
death the matchless handkerchief
descends to her daughter-in.law,
Queen Helena.

The Box Kite.

The chief defect of the box kite, Of
which DR.. Langley's aerodrome Is an
elaboration, is that the weight in
creases with the cube as rapidly az
the lifting power does with the
square, so that the larger the kite
the less it will lift in proportion.
Prot. Graham Bells kites are equal
sided triangles, 50 that they need no
bracing, and 1t is found that the lift
ing power increased at greater rate
than the increase in weight. A flock
of these kites recently lifted . 200

CONNECTS AS BALL PLAYERS.
How it Helps the Discipline a

How it Helps the Discipline at
 Charlestown.
 Baseball playing has been introduced by Warden Bridges among the inmates of the Charlestown state prison. with strikingly beneficial results. Not only has the game given the prisoners relax ation from cell life and the workshop, but it has afforded a diversion for their minds, a breath of fresh air and look at the blue heavens above. And not the least result of all is the improvement an discipline. No unruly prisoner can participate in the game, and many a man naturally fractions has been ..good'' just for the chance to go out in the prison yard and play game of baseball. <
 Next to pardon or an expiration of sentence permission to play ball or see a ball game is the greatest boon that can be conferred upon any prisoner. To be deprived of the privilege of being a player or a spectator is the greatest punishment a prisoner can receive. He had much rather go into solitary" than lose game of ball. as.E-
 The inmates have two hines, called this year the Resolutes and the Hus- tiers, and they play every fair-weather Saturday from May to October. Every player is a prisoner, and the umpires are likewise inmates. The league rules are followed strictly, and the umpire is obeyed. Tn fact the absence of kick ing among the Charlestown prisoners shows them in an enviable light com- parison with some of the players seen on the league grounds. The two teams play for championship honors, and every game is written up'' for the prison paper, the Mentor.
 Ground rules naturally prevail, ow- ing to the smallness of the prison yard, but there is room enough for 200 s spectators, all prisoners. Some have seats, and the others who stand are called "the bleachers." The games are played with just as much earnestness, enthusiasm and cheers as any profess sional game, and some of the playing is really professional, in its quality. In fact one of the leading pitchers is an old Boston league pitcher.
 The experiment has proved so suc- cessful that General Bridges will main- tain it. This is one of the many sensi- ble things he has introduced into prison life, and he deserves credit for it. General Bridges work at Charles town is attracting attention beyond this state. and it is practical, sensible innovations such as this which make him an ideal man for such place.

the North Dakota state capitol. then
the territorial capitol, was award
ed to c. ". Thompson, a we'll known
old timer of the city. Thompson has
left the city and the state, but he has
left a monument in the shape of a
thoroughly constructed public building,
which needs the addition of a north
wing, and the exterior finishing as
originally planned to make it an admin.
istration building that will be a credit
to the state for many years to come.
There is an ample endowment of land
for the building of the structure and
for other allied purposes, and the pro.
ceeds of the land can, under a recent
opinion of the supreme court, be ap.
piled directly to the completion of the
building. If the proper provision is
made, the new wing may be complet-
ed in time for the next regular ses.
sion of the legislative assembly.
