LONDON'S OLD ROMAN WALL

Visitors to London whose tastes lie in the d.
rection of exploring ancient remains will be graft
fled to learn that the Society of Antquaries has
succeeded in securing the preservation of very
fine fragment of the great Roman wall around
London which has just been laid bare, London
letter to the New York Sun says. From time to
time portions of the great structure. the external
wall Of defense built about the city in the fourth
or fifth century, have been uncovered in digging
foundations while rebuilding streets or houses.
These have rarely escaped demolition The latest
discovery is to be preserved for the benefit of
Che public.
1t is situated near Newgate street, close to a
new annex of the general postoffce. The frag-
ment, which is that of great curved bastion.
is so feet long, 20 feet high and feet wide. The
present summit lies several feet below the sur
face of the ground. The whole is in wonderful
state of preservation.
The material is that known as 'Kentish rag"
supported by heavy Roman bricks and showing
clearly the characteristic layers bands of red
tiles, such as may be seen at Burgh castle, Pc
vensey and Peterborough. The interesting relic is
to be built around, that it will lie in a cave
which may be entered by stairs and inspected by
artificial light. The line of the great Roman wall
is well known and much of it undoubtedly re-.
mains below the houses to-day, which are largely
built upon 1t as upon the securest of foundations

DOUBLE REWARD OF VIRTUE
Love Story Written by Small Boy at

Happy Conclusion.

Apropos of love stories in general.
Jerome S. McWade, the well-known
Duluth connoisseur, said at recent
dinner:
AT the approach of Valentine day
last year | offered a prize OF five dol
lars to the little boys of my Sunday
school class for the best short love
story. | have one of the stories here,
and am going to read it to you
Mr.. McWade then read:
"a poor man feu in love with a lady
whose mother was a rich toy dealer.
THE poor man could not marry the
rich lady. because he had no money.
"a villain then offered him $50 If he
would become a drunkard.
THE poor man wanted the money to
get married with, so he agreed, but
when he got to the beer saloon he
said:
"'No, Twill not become drunkard.
even for great riches
'On the way home he found bag
of gold So the young lady married
him. 1t was splendid wedding, and
the next day they had twins.

POLE FAKER OF LONG AGO

1t is told of titled Englishman that when his
son explained his folly in going down a coal mine
by saying that he spoiled his clothes so as to be
able to say that he had performed the feat re-
piled: why did you say that you had been down
the mine and did not go?" This method appears
to have been followed by one James Knox de

as described by this Bolduc:
AT the pole one finds the place where all the
waves Of the sea concentrate to disappear In the

precipice, separated by four great canals sue

No other gem holds as many fascinating leg

back to immemorial time when the Incas wor-

emeralds to consort with it, that the Span

centuries. The five emeralds which Cortez stole

size. rough-cut IN the form of sacred symbols of
sex worship. Even Cortez so enamored of
them that he refused to sell them to the empress

There is still preserved at Rome the emerald
cent to the pope by Peru after the Catholic con-
quest of that country and the name Emerald

took dominion over 1t.
The orientals have always known how to
handle this wonderful crystal, setting in peacock
toned embroidery of enamel keeping its irregu-
1arities of form, perhaps simply smoothing the
edges so as to preserve as much color pos
sibe. Indian princes often emerald rings
fully two inches across. In the shrine of the
great Tooth temple of Handy. Ceylon there is a
Buddha of fabulous value carved from single
gem. l have in the treasury OF the sultan
of Turkey whole robes encrusted with emeraIds,
with superb single stones of the purest water set
in the handles of scimitars. There were prayers
in the interior of the Tai Mahal spelled in en-

with their knives.

Napoleon wore through some of his bloodiest
battles the great emerald torn from the throat Of
Charlemagne when they dared to disturb his
slumber and to this talisman the Man of Destiny
ascribed his power to sleep at will and as long
or little he would. When Isabey was to paint
the last portrait of Josephine. she said: Paint
me in emeralds to say that my sorrow will be
ever green, but surround them with diamonds to
portray the undying purity of my love-"
