THE CLANRlcARDE PLAQUE.
A Famous Specimen of the Sixteenth
Century GoIdsmith's Art.

Century GoIdsmith's Art.
One of the greatest cinquecento jew
els in the world is the Clanricarde
plaque, owned by Lord Clanricarde,
who is known as the hermit peer and
who claims direct descent from the
kings of Connaught He guards with
Jealous care this precious example of
the goldsmith's art, keeping it safe
from possible thieves and the common
gaze in bank vault, to which he
goes occasionally with great secrecy
to feast his eyes upon its magnificence.
Some years ago, by royal request, he
lent it to an art exhibition in London.
where it was admired and coveted by
some of the greatest connoisseurs Of
Europe.
The huge disk is as delicately
wrought as a spiders web and repre-
sents the figure of Hercules welding
a diamond sword. The sword blade
is composed of mass of perfectly
matched steel white stones, and su-
perb blue diamond scintillates from
the hilt The present owner inherited
it from his mother, who was a Miss
Canning before her marriage to the
Irish lord. and the plaque is practically
priceless. Aside from its value to col
lectors and its worth as a specimen of
rare and exquisite art. it is incrusted
with a fortune in jewels.-New York

When Lawyers Are Quiet.

One George Wilson, a lawyer, who
had much litigation, in some of which
he was personally interested as par
ty or as a trustee, finally passed away,
and a short funeral sermon was de
Iivered by a member of the bar in the
presence Of a few old personal friends.
The lawyer told how the old man had
been abused and maligned but that, in
fact, he had helped the poor and un-
fortunate often and was not bad
man.
On returning from the services an
old lawyer was asked by another law
yer about the services and what was
said. The old lawyer replied, For
once old George could not file a de-
murrer or motion to any of the pro-
ceedings which had taken place"
The lawyer who made the inquiry
replied. ''WeIi. this must be the first
time George did not move for arrest

Willie observed that he was bald-yea,
very bald. for not a single hirsute

But when it came to WhisSers the
bald party was right there with the

whiskers in stacks. In fact. he had
enough whiskers to start a rat factory
and make a fortune.

E Pluribus Unum.

The country is indebted to jain Ad-
ans for its national motto, with an
Englishman of note sharing in the
honor. 1t seems that while Adams
was minister to England Sir John
Prestwick. an eminent English anti
quarry. suggested to him a good motto
to represent the union Of the American
colonies. Adams at once was taken
with the idea, which he transmitted to
Charles Thompson, the secretary of
congress. who on June 20. 1872, report
ed to that body his design for a gov
ernment seal. In this the Latin legend
"E PIuribus Unum" was to be borne
on ribbon held in the beak of an
eagle.
Just where Sir John got the idea is
not certain but it is a fact that the
motto was in use on the cover of the
GentIeman's Magazine. first publish
ed in 1870, and it may have struck his
fancy 10y its applicability to the stu
alton then obtaining in America.

A MAN OF MYSTERY.
Metastasio, the Celebrated italian Poets
Was an Unusually Eccentric Man.
His Life In Vienna.

Metastasi0 069S-17S2), the celebrated
dramatic and operate poet, spent fifty
Eve years in Vienna with the Marines
family without ever learning German
or wishing to learn it.
Besides his utter Indifference to all
speech but Italian, Metastasio possess
ed many peculiaritieS of character.
None might mention death in his pres
ence. Those who alluded to smallpox
before him he made it a point not to
see again. In all his fifty-ive years
in Vienna he never gave away more
than the equivalent of SO to the
poor. He always occupied the same
seat at church, but never paid for it.
He took all his meals in the most mys-
terious privacy. His g. test friends
had never seen him eat anything but a
biscuit with some lemonade. Nothing
would induce him to dine away from
home. He never changed his wig or
the cut or color of his coat.
Metastasio was to have been present
ed to the pope the day he died and
raved about the intended interview in
the delirium Of his last moments. Mrs
Piozzf familiar to readers of BOswell's
Life Of Dr. Johnson" as Mrs. Thrale,

Ne,. ZeaIand,s Glaciers.

The great size of the glaciers around
Mount Cook, in New Zealand, has
been often remarked. The Tasman is
eighteen miles long, the Murchison
ten miles, the Cooley eight miles, the
Mueller eight miles and the Hooker
seven miles. Most of these glaciers
have moraines of exceeding rough
ness, but the approaches to them are
not steep, as is usually the case with

ETIQUETTE IN SIAM.
On Hands and Knees Before the King
Was Long the Custom There.

On Hands and Knees Before the King
Was Long the Custom There.
Perhaps the most revolutionary re-
form carried out by the late king Of
Siam was the abolition Of the arbi-
trary rule Of etiquette which forbade
an inferior in rank to raise his head
above that of a superior or even level
with it. The inferior must not even
pass over bridge while a superior
was underneath it, nor must he enter
a room in an upper story while su-
periOr was occupying a room beneath
it. Servants approached their mas
ters on hands and knees. This Gus
tom is by no means obsolete today in
spite of the royal edict. for many Of
the powerful mobiles who live far
away from the court still enforce it.
In 1874 the king hello Il large court,
at which no one present presumed to
appear otherwise than on Aands and
knees. 1t was at this audience that
the edict forbidding ne custom was
read to the PROSTATE multitude. They
there and then rose and stood like
men in the presence of their sovereign
for the first time on rec|rd. Since
then there has been no PfOStrtiOn at
the royal audiences. Bat if a supe-
rior stops to speak to an inferior in
the street the latter will still bend OF
lower his head in some way as a
mark of respect. - London Saturday

H0N0RED THE MONKEY.
The Romantic Story of the Origin of
the Earl OF Leinster's Coat
of Arms.

Most Of the wild animals have a
place iD heraldry, and many strange
and impossible creatures, such as grif-
fms, dragons and unicorns, have been
invented as emblems Of daring and
valor But the donkey and the mon
key have not been so used, except in
one instance, where the monkey has
been admitted to the ranks of titled
nobility. The story Of this adoption
is told by Mr.. Curtis in his book,
"One Irish Summer"
On the Leinster coat of arms are
three monkeys standing with plain
collar and chained; motto, "CrOm-a-
boo" ''TO Victory This is the only
coat of arms, l am told, that has ever
borne a monkey in the design. 1t was
!adopted by John Fitzthomas Fitzger-
laid in 1916 for romantic reasons.
While this Earl Of Leinster was an
infant he was in the castle Of Wood
stock, which is now owned by the
Duke Of Marlborough The castle
caught fire. In the confusion the child
was forgotten, and when the family
and servants remembered him and
started a search they found the nur-
seTy in ruins. But on one Of the tow
ers was a gigantic ape, pet Of the
family, carefully holding the young
earl in his arms. The animal, with
extraordinary Intelligence. had crawl
ed through the smoke, rescued the
baby and carried it to the top Of the
tower.
When the earl had grown to man
hood he discarded the family coat of
arms and adopted the monkeys for
his crest. and they have been retained
to this day Wherever you find the
tomb Of a Fitzgerald you will see the
monkeys at the feet of the eftigy or
under the inscription.
