Crowns and coronets were used at the out

then to have been made in metal.

his predecessors and successors, to raise funds
for his expeditions, and they were never re-

three crowns-"St. Edward's." the "crown of
England" and one specially made for him

In 1872 the crowns were destroyed. The

THE SIGN OF THE STARS

When the Dark steals down like canopy
from an opalescent sky
When slowly the lamps of Night flash out in
the duslzy lanes on high
When the Sleep Angel comes on pinions broad,
vague friars Ger the housetops call:
"Whatever the day, the Lord sends peace and
starshine over all"
And SO are mems hearts in myriad ways, by
the mellowing years, made bright;
When generous acts and lustre of souls shine
out in the gloom of night.
And sign, that the Lord viii guide the horde
of plodders along the way
Are the lighted lamps in the heavenly camps
that burn till the dawn of day.

The Romans had quite series Of crowns.
There was the blockade or obsidional crown

OF grass or weeds gathered on the spot, and
hence enc Is frequently called the grassy crown.
There was the civic crown, made of oak
leaves, given to the soldier who in battle
saved the life of a Roman citizen, who had,
however, to report the fact and which crown
gave freedom from taxation for the wearer,
his father and grandfather, and the right to

The ovation crown of myrtle was given to
other minor foe of the State. The olive crown
was a kind of consolation prize given to him
whose achievements its was difficult to classify.
Sarcedotal crowns were Of all materials, but
ulchral crowns were Of flowers. From the
chaplets on the Green vases came the chaplets

Thes convivial crown was of flowers, bound
very tightly round the head The nuptial
crown was of vervain or verbena plucked by
the bride herself. The natal crown at Athens

Of laurel, or parsey-the same as that given
to athletes. Gladiators had crowns of fennel

The kingly crown first reached Europe
through Alexander the Great, who adopted
it from the Persian monarch he overthrew.
From Alexander it was copied by the Roman
emperors.
The radiant crown first appeared among
the Macedonian kings of Syria. The first gold
crown among the Roman emperors was worn
bv Nero though some claim the distinction
for Caligula.
The Papal crown. or tiara, is said to have
arisen by Symmachus putting on his conical
cap the crown presented to Clovis by Anas-
tasius and handed over to him, Boniface
adding the second row and Benedict the third.
The richest tiara is that given to the Pope
by Queen Isabella of Spain in 1855. It cost
$4,000.

GENIUS>

You cannot fetter Genius. Like palm
In tropic houses of glass, that loves TO
roam,
And ever higher toward the crystal dome,
Uprears its head in grand majestic calm,
Until it meets the very roof, and then
Forces the builders to enlarge its sphere,
Giving new kingdoms to it year by year;
Zen so is Genius unrestrained by men.
IT, knows no bounds, acknowledges no bond
And if men try to roof it in with glass
OF prejudice and custom, dares to pass
Through all their Aimsy structures; far be-
yond
It sees the golden sunshine, and, God-given,
Aspires cen to the very height of heaven.

and on December 10, 1889, the heroine of the
poem breathed her last.
Her name was Mary F. Sawyer. She was
born in Sterling, Mass, in 1906, and in that
town the famous lamb episode is said to have
occurred.
1t does not appear that Mary otherwise
distinguished herself than in owning the lamb,
but the poem gives us the assurance that she
was kind girl, and in that respect
sh, maintained her reputation until the day
of her DEATH.
Her married name was Tyler, and as Aunt
Mary Tyler she was known by everybody and
esteemed by all.
Thus the famous trio disappear from the
earth, Mary and her lamb and the woman
who made them both renowned. The poem
itself is one of those mperishable things
like the 'Iliad," which generations yet to
come will read with undiminished pleasure
There is no use speculating as to the cause
of its popularity-it has come to stay.
