Cramp Rinqs.

Formerly it was customary for kings
Of England on Good Friday to hallow
certain rings. the wearing Of which
prevented cramp or epilepsy. They
were made from the metal Of decayed
cofins and consecrated with an elaD-
crate ceremony, some details OF which
are still preserved. They were "highly
recommended by the medical profes-
sion" about 1851. for Andrew Boorde
in his "Breviary Of Eiealth," speaking
Of cramp says, 'srhe kynge's majes-
ite hath a great helpe in this matter
In halIowing crampe ringes with
out money or petition" Occasionally
cramp rings played persuasive part
in diplomacy. Lord Berners, our am

A Tsryinq Moment.

Professor Leopold Schroeder was
called to see the Crown Prince Fred
erick in 1857 before Sir Morrell Mac
kenzie had reached San Reno. The
prince, evidently suspecting the worst,
turned to Schroetter after the examina-
ton and said, II request the truth as
to my ailmen-.' Schroeder hesltated
and made an effort to direct the con-
versation in another direction. but
Frederick insisted. 81 am d soldier
he said, land can look death in the
eye. I ask you now plainly, to the
point, Is NY complaint cancer?"
Schroeder could hardly contain himself,
and years after the scene when he re-
called it he spoke Of it as the most
painful in his life. lie conducted the
crown prince to chair and asked him
to be seated Then he said. "Your i'm
perial highDess, you are suffering from
q serious complaint. and it is possible
that it may develop into carcinoma.
but that cannot be determined posi-
lively at this moment" Frederick be-
came Geathly pale, but never for a
moment lost his self control and smiled
grimly when he thanked the physician
for his honesty.

said q lawyer. "One Of his decisions

mon Two women came before this
magistrate with fine, fat pullet, each
declaring that it belonged to herself.
The magistrate from his high seat
frowned heavily at the first woman.
Does this pullet belong to Mrs. Jones"
he asked her. no, indeed, it don't, sir
she replied. Then he turned to the other
woman. Does this pullet belong to
Mrs. Smith? 1t certainly does not

creed. does not belong to Mrs. Jones.

A KINGS CARRIAGE.
Old Fashioned and Elaborate Vehicle
Used In England.

England'S state carriage is one of the
most costly t>ud splendid in the world.
1t was built in 11Gl at q cost of S3G,-
900 on the occasion Of the marriage Of
George III. and has ever since carried
the English kings and queens on all
high state occasions. Sir William
Chambers designed the vehicle. which
weighs four tons.
Despite its many years service its
great, wheels, gear and body are said
to be as sound as when built, and it
looks as if it would so on forever.
Steel springs We're unknown when the
coach was built and its ponderous yet
dainty. luxurious body is suspended on
leather braces, not unlike those of the
cid Concord stagecoaches Of America.
It's balance is so perfect that i touch
Of the finger is enough to set the body
swinging on the big creaking straps
which brace the carved and gilded tri
tons supportirs the drivers seat and
hammer clnr,: The length Of the re-
hicle is rwenty-four feet, and it is
twelve feet high.
The elaborate carvings cost more
than the carriage proper, the coach
builders bill having been less than
$4,000, while that Of the carver was
more than $4,000. Something Of the
character Of the ornamentation may be
guessed from the fact that the artist
Cipriani received $1,000 for painting
the panels and that the late makers
charge was about $1,000, the crimson
satin interior Of the carriage being
most elaborately upholstered.
The preparation Of the royal equipage
for state occasions is real sight. Six
pairs Of milk white horses from the
royal stud are always used. and ali
wear false tails. The coachman. in
powder and curls, mounts his seat with
the aid Of ladder, but does not really
drive, positions on the horses and state
grooms who walk beside them being in
command Of the team.-Philadelph

YOUNG COCOANUTs.
The Trick Of Opening Them as Prac-
ticed by the Tahitians.

The Trick Of Opening Them as Prae-
ticed by the Tanitians.
"Husking cocoanut is one Of the
simplest looking operations in the
world. but have not seen the white
man who could do it effectively"
writes Beatrice Grimshaw in her book,
I'm the Strange South Seas" Every
native Of Tahiti is apparently born
with the trick.
4 stick is sharply pointed at both
ends, and one end is firmly set in the
ground. The nut is then taken in the
hands and struck with a hitting and
tearing movement com bined on the
point Of the stick, so as to split the
thick. intensely tough covering Of
dense coir fiber that protects the nut
The nut comes forth white as ivory,
about the same shape and size as the
brown old nuts that 50 by ship to
England and America, but much
younger and more tender, for only the
smallest Of the old nuts, which are not
wanted in the islands for copra max
ing, are generally exported
a large knife is used to crack the
top Of the nut all around, like an egg
shell, and the drink is ready, draft
Of pure water, slightly sweet and just
q little aerated, if the nut has been
plucked at the right stage.
There is no pleasanter or more re-
freshing draft in the world, and it
has not the least likeness to the "mlk''
contained in the cocoanuts Of COM
merce. No native would drink from
old nuts for fear Of illness, as they
are considered both unpleasant and
unwholesome. Only the milk Of half
grown nuts is used for drinking, and
even these Will sometimes hold eau
pie of pints of liquid.
The water Of the young cocoanut is
food and drink in one, having much
nourishing matter held in solution. On
many long day Of hot and weary
travel l had cause to bless the re-
freshing and restoring powers Of heav-
ems best gift to man in the tropics, the
never failing cocoanut.

A TALE OF THE SEA.

The Upside Down Cruise Of the ce2-
tain Of the Erndte.
An almost incredible instance Of the
perils attending those who go to sea
was the basis Of a story told in mari
time court of DantZic some years ago
by the captain Of the sailing ship
Erndte. Nothing that Jules Verne,
Clark Russell and II. G. Wells ever
fancied in their wonderful tales sur
passed the story told by Captain En-
gellandt-
He had sailed from Memel with a
cargo Of planks for Oldenburg. The
captain remained at the wheel during
q gale which overlook the vessel next
night ard at in the morning went to
his cabin to change his wet clothes.
He had just got into dry undercloth-
ing when his vessel capsned, and he
found himself standing on the roof OF
the cabin, the door Of which the sea
had Theoretically closed
By loosening the boards Of what was
now the roof he got into the hold,
which contained only loose sails. For
tunately some shelves Of high cup
board remained intact. and from them
he collected some cans OF condensed
milk, some prunes. rice. sugar and sau-
sage. He also found q hammer.
For twelve days the master Of the
ship lived in his prison, eating as spar
ingly as possible and drinking sea
water, which appeared to have no Ill
effect on him. BE employed his free
time in hamnering on the steel bottom
of the ship to attract the attention OF
passing vessels. He knew when it was
day. for a dim light penetrated the
water.
On the twelfth day the Norwegian
steamer Aurora sighted the wreck and
sent a boat to take it in tow. Engel-
landt had fallen asleep; but, hearing
footsteps over his head, he began
knocking with his hammer and shout
ing for help. The Aurora's men re-
turned to their ship for tools, with
which they bored a hole through the
bottom Of the Erndte where they had
heard the shouting. When they drew
out their drill. a mans finger followed,
and they soon learned that Engellandt
had food for four days more and wish
ed to be towed to land, for it was i'm
possible to release him in the open sea-
The Aurora towed the wreck safely
to Neufahrwasser, where with consid-
erable difficulty it was attached to a
huge crane, plate was unloosened,
and the imprisoned master was freed.
He was perfectly conscious and even
able to walk alone. The three men
who had constituted bis crew were Of
course drowned when the vessel cap
sized.-New York Tribune.

ORIGIN of MYTHS.

The human mind, whether that Of
the savage or the civilized man, is
naturally q thinking machine. In early
times, before science was born, the
phenomena Of nature required an ex-
PLANTATION, and the savage beholder
shaped the myth, which satisfied his
untutored mind. It is out Of mans
natural craving to know the reason
why" that all myths are born AS
the distinguished anthropologist, Tylor,
puts it, "When the attention Of q man
in the myth making stage Of intellect
is drawn to any phenomenon which
has to him an obvious reason, he In
vents and tells story to account for
it." In such way all mythology orig

Comma 70 an Understanding.

In the amiable way Of villagers they
were discussing the matrimonial af-
fairs Of a couple who, though recently
wed, had begun to find the yoke Of
Hymen burden.
"'Tis all along o these hasty mar

man, who had been much to the fore
in the discussion ''They did not un-
derstand each other. They'd nobbut

an interested lady listener.
