BURIAL OF cRown JEWELS.
Scottish Treasure That Was Hidden

Beneath Pulpit Of Parish Church.
The curious story OF the search
among tombstones for the stolen re-
gala revealed in the minutes of evil
dence heard by the viceregal commits
sion on the loss of the Dublin castle
jewels recalls the interesting fact that
the Scottish crown jewels, which mys-
teriously disappeared at. the time Of
the Cromweilian invasion, were bur-
led for safety. They were located III

by Cromwell, and on the eve of sur

They were buried beneath the pull

where they were hidden was never
revealed till the restoration. Ogilvie
was rewarded with q baronetcy, and
Keith, who misled the Cromwellians
by Stating that they we're In the pos

The mysterious disappearance of the
Dublin state jewels has had one Gu
rious parallel. Some years ago a cas-
ket containing jewels Of the value Of
$4,000 disappeared under circum.
stances OF the greatest mystery from
the house of the duchess of Leinster
IN Dominic street, Dublin. In spite OF
the most thorough investigation no
trace Of the thieves could be discov-
cred, although rumor suggested that
more than one person OF rank could
threw light on the robbery.
The jewels were ultimately returned
to their noble owner. but to this day
We believe the mystery Of their disap-3
spearaace remains unsolyed. 8

Each plant was to receive a daily

were to be watered daily with warm,

probably the scattering casualties
equal In number those attending the
great accidents or disasters. Recently
the Druggists Circular called atten-
ton to two dangerous articles, an ex-
plosive and a poison, both found In
many households, as follows:

benzine about the house. The young peo-
pie did not seem to be much impressed
A few days later the daughter went to
call on her erstwhile visitor and learned
that she was attending the funeral OF n
child of the family which had made a
common practice Of using benzine. The
child had been buraed to death as a re-
cult Of an explosion OF benzine vapor.
some time ago popular newspaper writ

would BIO well for him to refrain from ad-

read his previous directions of the dan

About the same time we read of q law
suit growing out OF the loss OF the sight
OF one eye by a man who had used a
IMMINENT containing wood alcohol, none Of
the IMMINENT having come into direct con-
tact with the member. Records of cases
OF loss OF sight through the handling of
wood alcohol are 30 numerous and have
been 30 widely published that It seems
little short OF criminal for even q lay
writer to advise the indiscriminate use OF
this liquid, and for a manufacturer or
druggist to 80 advise seems an inexcusa-
