The Old Constitution.

The Constitution originally car
ried forty-four guns. A particular
ly interesting history is connected
with this ship. During the war
with the Barbary powers in 1903
she was Commodore Preble's flag
ship in the Mediterranean and
played a conspicuous part during
the whole var. Lieutenant Wads-
worth, who was blown up before
Tripoli in the i'll fated Intrepid,
was one of the officers Of the Con-
stitution. In the course Of the war
with England in 1912 the English
papers laughed at the Constitution
and spoke of her as "a bundle Of
pine boards sailing under a bit of
striped bunting" But when under
Captain Hull she captured the
English frigate Guerrero, vessel
of nearly equal force, the people
who had before ridiculed her called
her zone of the stanchest vessels
ahoat." A few months after this
victory the Constitution, then COM
manded by Captain cambridge,
compelled one of the finest frigates
in the British navy, the Java, to
strike its colors.

A DIAMOND STORY.
The Way a Russian Princess Disposes
Of Her Jewels.

ne way q hussian princess DIsposes
of Her Jewels.
A few years ago Ludwig Nissen,
A well known wholesale dealer of
the Maiden lane district, was in the
Office of a diamond merchant in
London when a stranger came in
and offered an unusually beautiful
stone for sale. The EngliShman
did not care to buy. But Nissen
thought he saw a bargain. But he
was not willing to buy until he
learned who owned the stone and
where it had come from. The man
said he represented a friend, wo-
man, who did not care to have her
name disclosed. The American was
firm. If he could not learn the
owners name he would not buy.
The stranger said he would see the
woman ard talk the matter over
with her.
The next day he came back and
took Mr.. Nissen to the woman 5
home. She lived in "A handsome
apartment IN one Of the most fash
ionable quarters of the city. 1t
turned out that she WIS Russian
princess who, with her husband
and her daughter, had been driven
from Russia for having taken part
in a nihilist movement. Of all
their large property they had saved
only their jewels. She opened a
little safe and showed the Ameri-
can one of the finest collections OF
diamonds he had ever seen. They
were worth 100000 or 100000.
eve sell them a few at time"
she explained, "just enough of
them each year to give us a living.
Perhaps you will wonder why we
lon't sell them all and live on the
interest of the money? But my
husband has the gamblers spirit.
The money would not last year.
SO we part from them piecemeal.
| estimate that there are enough Of
them to keep us twenty years, and
| don't expect to live longer than
that"

centerpiece of one of the most val

Rossini,s Resting Place.

For years Rossini'S body rested
in Pere Lachaise, and then city
of Florence asked that it might be
transferred to the Church Of the
Holy Cross in that city. where the
bodies of Galiei, Michelangelo,
MachiavelG, Alferi and other great
Italians are entombed. Consent
was received from tic municipality,
but the masters widow. Dona
Olympia, would consent to the
translation only on condition that
when her time came her body
might be placed next to that of her
husband. This request was bluntly
denied, for the reason that only
Italians "who had achieved great
ness" could rest there. In 1878 the
widow died and before her death
consented in writing to the removal
of her husbands body to Florence,
provided her body be placed in the
grave from which his would be tax
en- in Pcre I.achaise, and after a
long time for consideration this
was done.

The Color Of Flames.

Many people have noticed with
much interest the many tinted bars
and bands that rise in the shape Of
"forked tongues of fame" from
wood burning in a fire. These va
ried hues are the result of combus-
ton from the different elements Of
the fuel. The light blue is from
the hydrogen and the white from
the carbon. The violet is from the
manganese, the red from the mag
nesia and the yellow from the soda,
which are constituent parts of the
wood.

THE VOICE IN THE DARK.
A Memory Of Pickett's Brigade ana
Night Attack.


Some years after the civil war a
gathering Of veterans Of both sides
was exchanging "reminiscences at a
banquet given by the board Of trade
of New York, writes Mrs. La Sale
Corbell Pickett in Lippincott's.
The presiding officer was Colonel
J. j. Phillips of the Ninth Virginia
regiment, Pickett's division. He
was speaking of night attacks and
recalled one in particular, not be-
cause of its startling horrors, but
because of a peculiar circumstance,
almost resulting in the compulsory
disobedience of orders-the obey
ing, as it were, of a higher COM
mand than that of earth.
"The point of attack had been
carefully selected" said Colonel
Phillips, "the awaited dark night
had arrived, and my command was
to fire when General Pickett should
signal the order.
"There was that dread, indescrib-
able stiffness, that weird, ominous
Silence, that always settles over
everything before fight. You felt
that nowhere in the universe was
there any voice or motion.
Suddenly the awesome silence
was broken by the sound of deep,
full voice rolling over the black
void like the pillows of a great sea,
directly in line with our guns. 1t
was singing the old hymn, Jesus,
Lover of My Soul
81 have heard that grand old
music many times in circumstances
which intensified its impressive
ness, but never had it seemed so
solemn as when it broke the still
ness in which we waited for the or
der to fire. Just as it was given
there rang through the night the
words:
Cover my defenseless head
V'th the shadow OF thy wing.
"Ready! Aim! Fire to the
left, boysp said
"The guns were shifted, the vol
ley that blazed out swerved aside,
and that defenseless head was 'coy-
cred with the shadow Of his wing"
A Federal veteran who had been
listening looked up suddenly and
said:
81 remember that night, colonel,
and that midnight attack which
carried off so many of my comrades.
I was the singer"
There was a second OF silence.
Then "Jesus, Lover of Ny Soul"
rang across that banquet board as
on that black night in 1864 it had
rung across the lines at Bermuda
