Crown Of Great Britain

The crown is already of great
weight-99 ounces and dwts. To
add to it the Cullinan diamond would
increase the weight by about three
quarters Of pound avoirdupois,
which, it is estimated, is what the
jewel would weigh after it is cut. The
crown, as it is seen today in the Tow.
er Of London, contains 2,S1S dia.
monds, 297 pearls and many other ex.
quisite jewels. Its chief gem is the
ruby, the value of which has been es.
timated at 100000, which was given
to the Black Prince in Spain in the
year 1867, and was worn by Henry
v, in his helmet at the battle OF
Agincourt.

HAD TO LIFT UP HIS VOICE.
Worshiper Furnished Good Reason for
His Fervency.

The successful merchant invited his
parents to visit him in New York city.
They came gladly, and on the follow
ing sabbath were escorted to a fash
ionable church in Fifth avenue. Some
of the hymns were familiar. In their
rendition the visiting pair contributed
heavily, with the credit for volume
in favor of the father. Although not
always in correct time, and some
times In discord, vet the joy Of this
good couple leaped forth in joyous
praise, and they did not see the glow
ering looks Of nearby worshipers or
the beet-like face Of their devoted son.
Father explained the merchant that

BootbIacks in Livery.

There is a new office building in
Wall street that is piling luxury on

eral accessories to the point where 1t
bids fair to be close rival to the mar

Where Mark Twain Had Gone.

When Mark Twain was working
hard on one of his earlier books that
brought him fame he sailed for Eu-
rope with his family. He kept up his
writing on shipboard, leaving it only
for brief recreations. One day an ap-
preaching storm drove him to the
cabin, and as he retired to work he
left word with his daughter, then a
very little girl, to explain his absence.
'If they ask for me-" he said to her,
"say that I won't be long; l have only
gone to write an anecdote.' A little
later a passenger accosted the child:
Where has your father gomez" "He
won't be gone long" lisped the child;
"he'th only going to ride nanny
goat"

In some Of the districts of Prussia
no father can dust the jacket of his
boy without first securing the consent
of an official appointed for the pur-
pose. If the boy refuses to mind, the
fatber goes to the officer and says:
MY boy Fritz needs licking. He will
not mind me-" How old is your Fritz?"
He is 49," rs he very obstinate ?"
He is like mule" Then here Is

Farmer Fools the Bees.

John B. e. Wright, who lives on a
farm two miles north of Elmer, N. j.,
has the third story of his house bored
with holes, which swarms of honey
bees have found, much to his delight
The holes lead to closets in the bed

make honey where it can be gathered
from the inside by simply opening a
door 1t is Wright's keenest delight
to take friend and a loaf of bread
to the third floor, open closet door
and start a feast of bread and honey.

great part Of the study and principal

wise selection from what we think and
careful suppression Of the remain
