Such is the bigness of the San Fran

A story is told in St Petersburg
which illustrates the phenomenal phys
zeal strength Of the old car. At a
little station not far from the capital
the Imperial train was delayed for
quite a time, and the ear, being
hungry, partook OF some of the simple
food Of the buffet. Meanwhile the lit
tie daughter of the mayor presented
the empress with bouquet, the fiow-
ers Of which were hastily gathered
from private hothouses in the neighbor-
hood. The stalks being still damp and
earthly, the empress vlsibly hesitated
to take the bouquet in her neatly gloved
hand. The czar coolly took up one Of
the heavy pewter plates on the table.
and twisting it as If 1t were paper,
made neat covering for the stalks.
There is nothing incredible in the story,
since the czar had been known to bend
kitchen poker as an ordinary man
would a strip Of tin.

pIamonda From SUGAR.

It can be stated with perfect truth
that lump Of sugur may be turned
into diamonds. Not all the substance
OF the sugar, Of course, will enter into
the composition Of the gem, but only
the carbon that It contains. Sugar
consists of carbon united with oxygen
and hydrogen. The carbon can be
easily separated out, and in certain ex-
periments for the production Of dia-
monds this sugar carbon has been EN-
ployed. The diamonds 80 produced
were, of course. very small and des-
tltute Of commercial value, but still
they are real diamonds, and the
chemical result achieved would be no
greater intrinsicaily II they were as
large as the Kohinoor. The hope has
often been held out that an improve
ment in the process of manufacturing
diamonds may be effected whereby
the necessity Of dissolving the carbon
in molten iron may be dispensed with,
and the required combination Of great
pressure with great heat may be
brought about by some such opera
ton as squeezing the carbon between
red hot metal plates

What did people eat before they had

Apparently they had most of the vege-

tuce as a separate dish before the
meat, used turnip leaves as a salad
and roasted the turnip itself in wood
ashes. Horseradlsh and carrots were
known to them, and capers were serv-
ed boiled in oil or vinegar. Cucum-
