Cost of Crowns in Russia.

Each Car of Russia has new crown,
a custom which costs the taxpayers Of
| that country hundreds of millions of dol
lars. And until recent years each has
had a new throne, quite expensive
baubles, and you can see them standing
in rows in the Kremlin at Moscow, load
ed with jewels of great value. The King
of England uses the same throne that his
| ancestors sat upon and wears the same
crown, although it must be altered at
every coronation to fit the head Of the
new wearer. and the jewels are usually
rearranged to fit his fancy. The late Ed
ward VII had a very large head. He
wore a seven and half hat King George
wears six and seven-eighths hat. There
fore the bandeau which encfrcles the fore
head must be shortened to prevent the
crown from sinking down over his ma
jesty's eyes.
King Edward wore the same crown that
had encircled the girlish brow of his
mother, whose head was six and five
eighths in size when she assembled the
throne. When it was made over for him
he had the crown taken entirely to pieces.
the framework much enlarged and every
single jewel reset. The bandeau, which
is the main part of the crown. is two
inches and half wide and solid mass
of jewels set in gold, with the famous
ruby of the Black Prince In the center
of the forehead. The design is after the
fleurs de lis; all OF the figures having
gorgeous jewel, a sapphire ruby or emer-
aid, in the center. Within the bandeau Is
a purple crimson velvet cap, which is
surmounted by hemispherical frame Of
arches covered with pearls. These arches
support ST. Andrews cross which rises
nine and one-fourth inches above the
head. In the center OF the cross is the
famous Star of India diamond, and on
either side are two pendant pear shaped
pearls which were brought out from
among the disused crown jewels by order
of King Edward and placed exactly as
they were worn by Queen Elizabeth at her
coronation in 1853, and fastened on each
side Of the arches directly under the
orb.

horseshoes for the Washington series, and
their talismniac charm continued to work

Joe Lake, the former Highlander, had
wonderful fielding behind him, and with
that assistance held the Nationals to
three scattered singles. Meanwhile Dolly
Cray was being hammered when ham
mering counted.
Not till the third did a Brownies edge
his way across the plate, but in that in
ming, after Lake had been forced out by
Shotten. the latter stole and tailed from
second on Meloan's single to right.
Three much-needed runs that brought
lie fans to their feet were counted in
the sixth inning. Hogan hit an imPos-
sible one at Cunningham, who stopped
it and then threw wild to first, Hogan
continuing TO second. Gray couldn't field
Stephens bunt, and Wallace's safe drive
TO right scored Hogan. Both runners ad-
vanced on Myers bunt and death At first

center field
The Nationals never had chance to
score. Mcbride singled to left in the Sec
ond, but got no farther than first base.
Milan singled in the third and WAS
thrown out stealing. Gray singled u CEN
ter in the sixth, but those behind him
could do nothing with Lakes curves.

Ralph Myers stopped a liner from
Gessler's bat in the seventh that was

Bobby Wallace played a wonderful

Kid Elberfeld was kept busy in the

Dolly Gray issued three passes. but
none OF them was costly. He famed
