from the Belgian as well as the Austrian
court
The true reason for the intention Of the
countess 20 sell her jewels is that she has
entirely broken off her relations with both
the Austrian and the Belgian courts.
The rupture is not. as the Berlin Tagliche
Bundschau states due 10 her feelings re-
gardng the matrimonial troubles Of her
sister, Princess Louise Of Coburg. but is
the result OF the action brought by the
countess against her father, the king Of
the Belgians, in connection with the inheri-
tance from her mother.
Before this action was commenced the
Emperor Francis Joseph requested the
countess to abandon the litigation on ac-
count Of the public scandal resulting from
II. The countess not only ignored the wish
Of her former father-in-law, but from
hatred Of her father made several indis-
Greet disclosures
When demonstrated with she calmly
asked to be left unmolested. saying the
Austrian court ought to he satisfied II she
kept silence concerning the period OF her
marriage with the crown prince. From that
moment all intercourse between herself and
the Austrian court has been broken off
To emphasize this breach the countess
now intends selling all her Jewels dating
=
The value Of the gems submitted to auction
is not an extraordinary one the most
precious object probably being the wedding
present Of the Emperor Francis Joseph,
consisting OF a rivere Of diamonds Of equal
size and of the purest water. This orna-
ment is priced at about S25 600. A string Of
pearls the gift of the Crown Prince
Rudolf, is said to be worth about $500
while another notable piece is a set OF
emeralds the wedding gift of the late Duke
AlbreCht.
The total value Of the Jewels submitted to
auction Is, according to the estimate OF
Vtennese jewellers, about $500 900, while lace
Including the bridal veil of the former
crown princess, will also be sold, and is ex-
pected TO fetch $1,000.
Should the Countess Lonyay attempt tc
carry out the sale the Emperor Francis
Joseph will endeavor to buy up all the
articles through a Viennese ieweler.

Archie Roosevelt

Archie Roosevelt, the nine year Old
son of the President Of the United
States, and, in way, the most ener-
getic OF all the Roosevelt boys, mas
developed an ambition to enter the
navy, says American Boy. This sud-
den longing on Archie's part to serve
on one of Uncle Sans sea fighters Is
possibly due in some measure to the
fact that his parents recently present
ed him with a very handsome sailor
suit, but 1t may also be accounted for
to some extent by the fact that Archie
has now arrived at an age where he
takes a keen interest in the exploits
of some of his ancestors, who were
warriors of the ocean. Finally, Ar
chie's uncle, Captain Cowles-the hus-
band of the Presidents sister-has
lately been ordered to sea to command
one of our new battleships, and conse-
quently there has been much talk Of
the navy and its affairs in the Roose-
velt family circle.
1t would, indeed, be by no means
strange should Archibald's present en-
thusiasm be the forerunner of a seri-
Gus bent for a naval career His ia
ther, the President, has always taken
the keenest interest in everything ap-
pertaining to the American navy.
When barely out Of college, he wrote
his famous history of the naval war
Of 1912, and all boys know how, as
assistant secretary of the navy just
prior to the Spanish-American war, he
made preparations for that conflict,
among other things arguing, pleading
and almost quarreling to get for Ad-
miral Dewey the ammunition that
made possible the victory of Manila
Bay
To go back farther in the Roosevelt
sailor record it may be noted that in
1911 the great grandfather of Archie
Roosevelt built at Pittsburg the first
steamer that ever navigated the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers. Two of the
lads great-uncles were in the confed
crate navy during the Civil War, One
a former officer in the United States
navy was a captain in the confederate
service and conducted the pioneer
blockade-running expedition wherein
a swift steamer slipped past the Union
war vessels in the night and carried
arms and ammunition to the confeder
ate army. Later this same officer ere
ated the system of daring confederate
privateers that preyed on the com
merce of the north. The second an
| cestor was midshipman who fired
the last gun from the confederate war
ship Alabama before she went down
in her great fight with the federal war
ship Kearsarge, off the coast Of
France. Archie Roosevelt, it may be
added. has fine opportunity to play
sailor" whenever the family goes fol
a cruise on the Presidents yacht, the
Dolphin, and he is fast friends with
most of the Jackies on board.

A Farm School

The rural home for wayward boys
which the state Of Illinois has been
building and equipping at St. Charles
Is now ready for use and received its
first guests a short time ago. 1t con-
sists first of a thousand-acre farm of
good land within three miles of St.
Charles On it are six cottages OF
stone and brick, each capable of hous-
ing forty boys. There is a manual
training school where ZOO lads can be
instructed in halliday classes Of $50
each. A power plant, with a 150-horse-
power engine, supplies steam heat and
electric light to all buildings, and
water and sewage systems have been
established. Then there are the neces-
sary farm buildings in the shape OF
barns, sheds storehouses, chicken and
hog houses, etc, where the products
OF the farm are stored or where the
live stock which the farm supports is
cared for. The total cost of the insti-
tuition has been about 100000. OF
which the state has furnished $780,
GEO, While it belongs to the state at
large, it is expected that at least As
per cent of the boys committed to it
will come from Chicago slums. The
school aims to give the boys the rudi-
ments of common school education,
the rudiments Of trade, and TO EN-.
ploy a part Of their time in farm work
which win bring return and thus
make the institution at least partially
self-supporting. 1t Is a sensible effort
to rescue these boys from vicious sur.
roundings and habits and develor
them into useful citizens. If ten pei
cent are weaned from city life ane
learn to love the country it will be
money well spent, whether the farm
pays financially or not.

there is no knowledge Of the depths to
which the South African diamond
mines can be worked. The deeper they
go the richer they become. Work can

ArboreaI Aristocracy.

The evergreens are the aristocracy
Of the tree world, writes Anna Bots
ford Comstock in the Chautauquan.
They represent the Oldest families; for
their ancient relatives appeared as
early as the Silurian age; the ever
green's were probably at their height
in number of species and magnifi-
cence of development during the Tri-
assie period. The pines were contem-
poraries of all those plants which
were put to bed in the Devonian age,
and which forms our coal beds of to-
day. The evergreens are a dignified
remnant of an older tree race, which
is being pushed to the wall by the
upstarts, the oaks and naples and 9TH
er deciduous trees. They still cling
to the sandy shores where there is lit
tie to protect other trees and to the
mountains and northern regions where
other trees have not the strength to
endure. Perhaps it is because they
belong essentially to another geologic
age when the climate was far different
from our climate of to-day, that they
do not shed their leaves in winter like
the adaptable deciduous trees.

Mr.. HAYDEN'S VIEWS
GIVES HIS OPINION OF THE BEST
TREATMENT FOR PARALYSIS.
Declares That DIR. Williams Pink Pills
Restored the Use Of His Limbs When
All Other Remedies Failed.

Declares That DR.. williams Pink Pills
Restored the Use Of His Limbs When
All Other Remedies Failed.
The premonitory symptoms Of paraly-
sis are: trembling Of the hands; sudden
loss Of power in arms or legs, frequently
affecting one whole side Of the body; stag
gering; partial or entire inability to use
the fingers; distortion of the features,
sometimes an uncomfortable quiyering
Of the chin; severe pains; difficulty in
speech. Frequently the first warning is
vague feeling o. headache, vertigo and
muscular weakness.
In recent interview Mr. W. ]. T..
Hayden said Il truly think that Dr.
Williams Pink Pills are great medi-
cine for they cured me when physicians
and other remedies had failed to give
me the slightest relief. Too close at
tention to business brought on an attack
Of nervousness which finally developed
into paralysis. There were times when
it was impossible for me to move my
hands or to get up from chair. At
other times l had partial control Of my
limbs, but was afraid to go far from
the house for fear might suddenly be-
come helpless and have to. be carried
home.
"While was in this miserable con-
dition, was stricken with malarial fever
and confined to bed for four months. /
had the best physicians, but while they
relieved my fever, their treatment did
not entirely drive the malaria from my
system, and they did not help my par
alysis in the least.
II was well nigh despairing when a
friend persuaded me to try DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. When had finished one box
l could see results that encouraged me.
NY condition kept steadily improving,
and when / had taken seven boxes was
cured of paralysis and the malaria was
completely driven out of my system.
For two years now l have enjoyed the
best Of health and have attended to bus
iness without any interruption.
Mr.. Hayden's home is at No. 252 West
seth street, New York. Dr. Williams
Pink Pills have cured many similar cases
of paralysis, also locomotor ataxia. They
are sold by all druggists. A treatment
so simple. inexpensive aud successful
should be tried by every sufferer from
partial paralysis in any Of its stages.
