Thp Queen,a jewels.

When the queen opened the English par-
lament she wore, for the first time. the
handsome necklace that has been manu-
featured for her out Of the cuttings of the
Cullinan diamond. Exactly how MANY
necklaces OF one kind and another she
possesses she would herself b. puzzled to
say. Indeed. only those who have charge
of her jewel cases could say with any de-
gree of certainty. It was stated a few
years g that she possessed 80 tiaras.
and since that time she has inherited q
large portion OF the magnificent collection
OF jewels possessed by her mother. the
late queen Of Denmark. She has. how
ever from time to time made considerable
presents Of her priyate. jewelry to several
members OF the royal family. including
her daughters. the Princess of Wales and
Princess Alexandra of Teck. She stili
however, possesses one OF the largest col
lections OF precious stones In the world
and probably only the tsarina and the
queen OF Spain can surpass her In this
respect. All her jewels are contained in
large, burglar-proof cases so in
sets that the queen can make up her
mind almost at a glance what she will
wear on any particular occasion. These
cases. OF course, are all carefully num-
bered I'M their contents cataloged: the
Hon. Charlotte Knollys alone possesses
the master key to them, and this never
leaves her for an instant.

The Sentry's Lucky Song.

The power of a song is something won
derful at times. This is well illustrated
by a story, and a true one, told not long
age
Two Americans who were crossing the
Atlantic met in the cabin on Sunday night
to sing hymns. AS they sang the last
hymn, Jesus, Lover Of My Soul" one OF
them heard an exceedingly rich and beau
tiful voice behind him. He looked around,
and, although he did not know the face.
he thought that he knew the voice. So
when the music ceased he turned and
asked the man II he had been in the civil
war. The mar replied that he had been a
confederate soldier.
Were you at such a place on such a
night2" asked the first.
Yes" he replied. and a curious thing
happened that night which this hymn has
recalled to my mind. I was posted on
sentry duty near the edge of a wood. It
was a dark night and very cold, and T
was a little frightened because the enemy
was suppose to be very near. About
midnight, when everything was very still
and I was feeling homesick and miserable
and weary. l thought that I would com
fort myself by praying and singing a
hymn. I remember singing this hymn:
All my trust on Thee is stayed.
All my help from Thee bring.
Cover my defensefess head
With the shadow of Thy wing.
AFTER singing that a strange peace
came down upon me, and through the
long night / felt no more fear"
Now" said the other, listen to NV
story. I was a federal soldier and was
In the wood that night with a party of
scouts. 1 saw you standing. although I
did not see you face. My men had their
rifles focused upon you. waiting the word
to fire, but when you sang out.
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.
I said. boys. lower your rifles: we viii
go home. "-Ptttsburg Gazette.
