An that the big doors was a mouth OF

An that 1t rolled its window eyes an
CRASHED its big door teeth
An shook its front-stair chin that
swung an wobbled underneath
An growled: "All right for you, my
boy. But you can't get away.
I'll have you back inside O me first

An all the words in all the world
jumped out of all the books
An come a-runnin' after me with most
bloodthirsty looks
All of them had their letters wrong,
which made them look real

Mrs. AstOr's Diamond.

OF the "Sanci" diamond that is be-
ing worn by Mrs. Waldorf Astor-a
gift from her father-in-law-half what
has been said Is mere myth. 1t
couldn't have been worn by Charles
the Bold and taken from the finger
Of his corpse" For that gem was the
"Florentine," now owned by the en-
press of Austria, says Everybody's.
Elizabeth of England purchased it
when De Sanci, extravagant and splen-
did, was low in purse. When Charles
became king and sent Buckingham to
Paris to bring back his bride, Henriet-
ia, the messenger wore the "Sanci."
Charles guarreled with his queen, Hen
rietta, and with his parliament, and
not long afterward Cromwell asked for
his head. Henrietta gave the diamond
to the earl of Worcester. Worcester
probably gave it back to the Stuarts,
for whom he ruined himself, for it de-
scended to James II. James disas-
trous reign cost him the crown. but
he kept the "Sanci" That and other
Jewels which he took away with him
supported various Stuart pretenders:
this particular one was sold to Louis
XIV. Of France for $125,O0O.
Stolen with other jewels in 1892. the
"Sanci' disappeared for thirty-six
years. A jeweler came by it, and
Prince Demidoff purchased it for his
wife. Twenty years later she let it go
to Jamsetjee Jeejeeboy, a rich mer-
chant of Bombay. Again 1t appeared
at a Paris jewelers. shop, and was sold
to the maharajah of Puttilala. He,
too, came upon hard times 1t was
from a London jeweler that William
Waldorf Aston bought it for his sons

BEAUTIFYMG ARMY POSTS.

Plan Adopted In the Philippine
Nurseries for Supplying Plants.
Not to be behind Manila in its plan
to beautify the city by Strengthening
its lines, planting shade trees and 9th
er tropical foliage and converting Its
waste spaces into well-ordered and
identifying parks, the military author
tiles now propose to direct their ef,
forts to improving and identifying the

Philippines will be impressed with the
beauty and wealth of tropical foliage
that satisfies the eye and pleases the
senses, not only at Manila, but in 9th.
err parts of the islands, says the Ma.
Mia Times.
Some steps have been taken in this
direction already, many shade trees
and other foliage having been planted
at the various posts, particularly at
Fort Mckinley, BOSNIAN and Zamban-
ga, and arrangements have been made
for study of horticulture by non.
commissioned officer of the army at
the Manila nurseries, which knowledge
thus gained will be disseminated in
an effort to make the various garri.
sons throughout the islands as attract
I've as possible.
The city nurseries are doing their
part toward the work of identifying
the islands and are constantly growing
those palms, ferns and other tropical
plants which form an important part
in the work. Many plants have been
sent to the different military posts and
many more are being grown with all
the care and skill known to the science
Of horticulture. To this institution
the military authorities, through the
courtesy of the municipal board, will
send a non-commissioned officer from
the garrison of the coast artillery at
Corregidor, whose duty 1t shall be to
study horticulture and the methods
employed at the city nurseries.
The city nurseries are raising thou
sands of plants which are destined at
some future time to adorn the city
parks and military posts throughout
the islands. The differen. hothouses
are now filled with Philippine plants
of all hues and degrees of beauty and
age, which are taken out as occasion
requires and transplanted in uninvit-
ing spots all over the city, making
them restful to the eye and a welcome
addition to those little GASES which
tend to make the city attractive.

How State Rooms Were Named.
When they first had steamboats, on
the Mississippi River they had no
sleeping rooms on board. Later a
bright captain conceived the idea of
having rooms named for the States
through which the boat passed. This
proved such a success that travellers
always made a rush for the rooms
named for their own States, and much
consequent trouble arose. Finally the
State names were discarded. but that

The Organ-Grlnder.

20 mother!' cried Lucy, jumping up
from the supper table as she heard
music in the street. "My old organ
grinder man and the dear monkey
have come"
Mother went to the window, and
sure enough, there was the organ
grinder man who used to come the
summer before, and while mother was
looking out of the window the monkey
climbed TO the porch. He wore little
blue jacket, red breeches and a round
red cap.
Mother and Lucy went out on the
porch and gave the monkey a piece of
bread. He nibbled at it happily enough
until sugar cooky was handed to
him; then he carefully laid the bread
on the porch railing. He had tiny
fiddle, and after he had finished the
cooky he began to draw the bow across
it, but in solemn manner, as If he
saw no fun in it himself, but was will
ing to pay for his cooky.
Lucy ran into the house and brought
out handful OF cookies, which she
gave to the organ-grinder. He stopped
right in the middle of tune to take
them, which made the music change
to groan. Then Lucy wanted the
monkey to play on the fiddle again,
but the man said, mo; Monk work
hard all day-he tired" and patted the
little monkey kindly; "too tired" re-
peated the man, and the monkey
sprang up on the organ grinders
shoulder, put both arms round his
neck, and blinked soberly from under
his cap. The man nodded and smiled
and started off.
When they came to a turn in the
road the organ grinder stopped for a
moment, and the monkey raised his
red cap and waved it toward Lucy
