QUEER JEWEL MYSTERIES.
Gem Lost in England Turns Up In
Italy Many Years Afterward--
Peddler in Possession.

One of the most romantic stor-
les of stolen jewels occurred with
Fanny Kemble for the heroine,
says the St. James Gazette. An
importunate American danced at
tendance upon her until one day
she finally and peremptorily bade
him begone. He gazed steadfast-
ly at her for a moment, then, see
ing that she was really in earnest.
he flung packet upon the table.
Well" he said, you may at least
take this" and he turned upon his
heel and left the room, and she
never saw him more. OF course.
she opened the package-what
woman would not? In ii was a
very beautiful jewel, which, as she
had not the address of the giver,
she had perforce to retain-but
not for long. Some one besides
herself appreciated its beauty and
took it. Years passed, and she had
ceased to repine for its loss. Then
she was staying in Italy, and to
her at Sorrento there came a ped
dler, who, quite by chance, a dis.
played before her his pack of triy-
ial wares. There among them, it's
value all unsupported, lay the
long-lost jewel, with nothing to
tell how it came into the posses
sion of the hawker.
To match this story one must
turn to the experience of Sussex
clergyman. a ring which was an
heirloom in his family was stolen
from his keeping. Eighteen years
passed, and not a word was heard
concerning the article. Then if
turned up inside one of the fingers
of a glove lost at a bazar in New
Zealand. The finder had promoted
the bazar, and was a relative of
the owner of the ring, and was the
only person on that side of the
world who could have identified
it. The owner of the glove was
one of number of persons who
had in turn possessed the ring. 1t
had passed from hand to hand
around the world to come, at the
antipodes, to the only person who
could stay its further travels and
restore it to the rightful owner.

win prizes in spite of the difficult
les which lie in their way.
Briefly, there is no prospect for
the clerk such as he could desire;
on the other hand, a man with a
business head on his shoulders, who
makes a point of learning his work
that is, how to cultivate the soil,
to breed, feed and manage live
stock and farm work in general,
while he is still a servant, has only
himself TO blame if he fails to make
home in which he can end his
days and where he can train his
children in those many useful du-
ties which are tho basis of domestic
life and comfort.
If we may suppose that the sala-
ry of the average clerk of which we
write varies from $400 to 5000 "a
year, we may assume that the
wages of the capable farm hand
who is able 90 satisfy an employer
varies from S. to $40 week, omit
ting the low pay in few counties,
with certain additions and privi-
leges. A harvester may earn $25
to $40 in the harvest month, with
extra pay during the hay and hoe
ing seasons.
If he is faithful and valued SER
want, apart from house and gar
den rent free-and in some dis
tricts a given weight of bacon, po-
tatoes and frewood-he will obtain
lips IN money and in kind, with
p ivileges which ale equal to money
and which aIe not TO be desplsed.
If he elects to make progress
while a servant, he may be placed
in charge of a stud, promoted as
foreman on an outlying farm, or
bailiH on an estate, with a good
house, large garden, a horse to
ride and drive, poultry-yard, milk
and fuel for his household, his own
piggerY, and, indeed, everything he
needs but independence in name.
Many bailiff is, indeed, a more
independent man than many a
farmer.
The result Of this discussion may
thus be summoned up. If a CLERK
is IA man Of mettle and pluck he
may find much happier and more
profitable career on the land than
at the desk, but he must realize
that it is first necessary to serve an
apprenticeship to his new duties.
He must be prepared while learning
his trade tn rongh It, and 20 DC pa.
tient, and he will reap his reward
in due season. There is, however
and let this be clearly under
stood-no room on the countryside
for young men who adopt any other
course; side, city habits, black
coats, top hats, and canes, all in
dicative of another sphere, must be
abandoned for the ensemble of
Hodge. There must be complete
transformation, although the stol-
idity and unprogressive side of
Hodges character must be left
behind.

General Wistar was for a number Of

of the Academys meetings a rather
old and original method of reaching
the North Pole was suggested. OF this
method the president said, smiling:
