Necklace Brings III Luck.

An eerie story is told about a neck
lace which formerly belonged to the
maharannee of Cooch Behar. India,
and which is supposed to bring bad
fortune to every one connected with
it. The history of the necklace-of
pearls and turquoises. which are not
usually considered to be unlucky
stones-is certainly peculiar. While it
was in the maharannee's possession
she was robbed of quantity of valu-
able jewelry and the maharajah lost
some of his best racing ponies by
death and breakdowns. The advice of
a pundit was sought. He prescribed a
change of ownership and a voyage
across the sea in order to break the
spell and the necklace was according
ly given to lady in England. AS a re-
suit the maharajah has begun to win
races again and the maharannee has
received the stolen property, but the
story goes that the present owner of
the necklace has been the victim of
persistent i'll fortune from the day
that it came into her possession.

Under his persuasive eloquence Mr..
Rockefeller consented to become the

restrictions on the faculty or the trus-
tees as to creeds. dogmas or methods
of teaching. His initial gift of 1924 900
was made in January, 1889. and was
followed up with gift of 5000 900 in
June. Since then he has contributed

Al EW designs for coins which were

distinguished sculptor, made shortly

suitable in their present shape for
execution with the machinery in use
at the mint. Hence. contrary to a
current report the government has
not accepted any of them. The gen.
eral approval which was expressed by
the president is not conclusive in an
official sense. The law requires that
they shall be accepted by the secre-

of the mint before being adopted.

For the large number of baldheads
in the senate a remarkable quantity
of preparations for the hair was used.
Here are some of the entries: Bay
rum, s3O25; witch hazel, s14; hair
tonic, s32.57; brilliantine, $1.20.
A silver inkstand for the vice pres
ident's room costing 5000 has been

1t is easy to guess that all these
articles are utilized by the senators
and their families, but it is puzzling
to understand who makes way with
the hundreds of bushels and pounds
of oats, flaxseed meal, bran meal. rock
salt, etc, and they certainly do not

SENATE "THIRSTS" COST

w thirsty lot. The report of Charles
G. Bennett, secretary of the United
States senate, shows that during the
last fiscal year that august body con-
sumed $50 cases of mineral water,
costing s4.504.70. Then there was
2,025.S7 for carbonized mineral water,
and S31S.97 for lemons and sugar for
the famous senate lemonade, making
a total of s6,S49.54 for drinkables. and
not drop of anything hard" as far
as the official list shows. Since there
are 90 senators, the per capita con-
sumption is about s76. 1t should be
remembered also that while there
are some senators who drink a great
deal of mineral waters there are also
some who drink very little. and there
is much curiosity here as to who drank
the most last year.
But why in the name of all that is
unparliamentary did any senator
need skirt trunk" costing s2670?
The official list of expenditures makes
no explanation of this interesting item.
Another peculiar item is that of COS

this may have been incurred about
the same time as the skirt trunk.

were thus enabled to pocket the

government is contained in the item

his enormous collection of Jewels,
however. the King of Siam is con-

something like f120.000 per annum in
purchasing new stones.
