Secrecy as to Crown.
The greatest secrecy is being MAIN
tanned regarding the new crown which
the king-emperor will wear at the
durbar
1t is the kings intention to with
hold from all eyes this symbol of i'm
perial power until his majesty wears
it upon his head when the princes of
the Indian empire appear before him
to do homage.
In keeping with the magnificence Of
the jewels displayed by the native
rulers. the new crown is unique in the
beauty Of its design and in the value
and brilliance Of its gems.
Constructed and set in secret by
Messrs. Garrard, the famous firm Of
Albermarle street goldsmiths and jew
elers, the crown has been many months
in making.
During the whole of that time none
but the craftsmen themselves and the
privileged members Of the house Of
Garrard has been allowed to gaze upon
it's elories.
The crown and other regal Jewels
have been kept in a specially prepared
strong room on board the Medina: in
side which an officer has been on duty
day and night, while guard has been
mounted outside twice daily during
the whole VOYAGE

One of the most curious industries in

are a species of pine known to the
natives and also to some extent to Eu-

wood is almost imperishable and has
the quality, either through its nature
or as the result of its sojourn under
ground, of resisting decay from damp.
This quality makes it particularly val

When a Ship Turns Turtle.

To turn turtle" means, in nautical
language, that a ship rolls too heavily,
fails to recover herself and after Il

Frequently the compressed air impris-

twenty miles high is flying through
space The mountain is known astro-
nomically as the planet Eros. The or

or less round in shape. The small
planet Eros; however is an exception
TO this rule. According to the latest

The weather was ideal and the new

guests lent beauty to the gathering.
For more than two hours the guests

GEORGE d. PRENTICE.

GEORGE D. PRENTICE.
Men seldom think of the shad-
ow that falls across their own
path, hiding forever from their
eyes the traces of the loved ones,
whose living smiles were the
sunlight of their existence. Death
is the great antagonist of life,
and the cold thought of the tomb
is the skeleton of all feasts. We
do not want to go through the
dark valley, although its passag-
eS may lead to Paradise; and,
with Charles Lamb, we do not
want to lie down in the muddy
grave even with kings and prin-
ces for our bed fellows. But the
fat of nature is iuexOrable.
There is no appeal of relief from
the great law which dooms US
dust. We flourish and we fade
as the leaves of the forest, and
the flower that blooms and with
ers in day has not a Trailer
hold upon life than the mightiest
monarch that ever shook the
earth with his footsteps. Gen
erations of men appear and van
ish as the grass, and the count
less multitude that throngs the
world today will tomorrow dis
appear as the footsteps on the
shore. In the beautiful drama
of Ion, the instinct OF immortal
ity, so eloquently uttered by the
