 Furthermore, she carried into Wall street a scheme which made even the enterprising ones of the stock ex- change sit up and take notice.
 The young woman is Miss Miriam Edwina, and she is railing herself off for money to obtain musical educa- tion. She has $50 chances, and they range in price from one dollar to $350.
 Miss Edwina has high soprano voice and grand opera is her aim. She says she .as beard of all kinds of raf- fling schemes fer making noney, ana she certainly wants te seeHmaiate enough to take Der to Italy.

 Each ticket Is numbered and put in sealed enyelopes When the man draws the envelope he, of course, has no idea of the price he must pay for it. The number on the ticket repre- sents the price he must pay.
 Already Miss Edwina has sold ten shares or chances, the largest number drawn so far being 210, for which a well-known and wealthy New Yorker paid $210
 If Miss Edwina sells all her chances she will have the tidy little sum of $61 ,425, which ought to help some toward a musical education.
 "As you see in the agreement, matri- mony is the reward for the lucky ticket-only if all interests are mu- fual,' said Miss Edwina. The raf1ie will take place in some hall, and in tead giving a concert first and letting people hear me sing"

GIFT FROM A QUEEN
HISTORIC HEIRLOOM THAT IS
 HIGHLY PRlzED.
"Great WilIouehby Chest" Presented by Elizabeth to Second Cousin Who Shared Her Captivity In
 the Tower of lonccn.

Boston.-If the great Willoughby chest" a priceless heirloom in the pos. session of Theodore Raymond Of Springfield, Mass, could talk, what tales it might tell of the captivity oi Princess Elizabeth, afterward the Good Queen Bess" of England, Tn the Tower of England, 8 captivity shareu by her devoted maid of honor, and seconl cousin once removed, Lady Margaret Willoughby, through whom this chest, undoubtedly gift from Queen Elizabeth, passed to her des- cendants, the Raymonds of New Eng land. And what joy it would bring to the Raymonds. the Lyndes, the Gris- wolds and other families of Massachil- setts and Connecticut in establishing their direct descent from the beautiful Elizabeth Woodville, who became the wife of King Edward ". These fami. lies trace their genealogy back to the kings of England with only one slight break.
 Other precious relics of Queen Eliz- abeth were handed down with the chest. including a tablecloth embroi- dered by the princess during her i'm prisonment in the tower, another gift to the faithful Lady Margaret.
 The chest is massive affair seven feet in length, two feet seven inches in width and two feet seven inches high. It is made of a peculiar hard wood. originally very light in color, but darkened exceedingly by age. The quaint old carvings on the front and on the inside of the cover, the hand wrought massive iron hinges and han dies, the cumbersome lock and huge keys are eloquent testimony of its age The carvings on the outside, asfseb are nearly worn off, evidently yspEeseAs horsemen riding through a forest.

The carvings on the inner side of the lid represent two scenes, one of Sir Walter Raleigh spreading his cloak before Queen Elizabeth the other of gay pleasure party in boats among small islands, with a turreted castle in the back ground. Between the two scenes is a coat-of-arns. The shield has either cross or lines to make four quarter ings.
 The tradition that this chest, with the tablecloth embroidered in the tower and other valuable gifts, was given by Queen Elizabeth to Lady Margaret WillOughby is so well au- sAssficated as to seem beyond dispute.

The old and cheap way is called air cured; the later discoverv and improved way E called hue cured.
