FIVE LIVES FOR A DIAMOND.

This Story or the One Adm-11in; the. "nu-'-
Sceptre.

A tragic history attaches to more
than one of the diamonds which
blazed on the Czar’s sceptre at the
late coronation. The “Shah,” which
weighs ninety-three carats only, at one
time adorned the throne of Nadir Shah.
it was stolen by an Afgani soldier, who
fell under the blows of three Armenian
brothers at the very moment when he
was trying to dispose of it to a jaw
eller. To make their prey further se-
cure the jeweller was also assassina-
ted. - »

The eldest of the three Armenians;
wishing to become sole possessor of
the diamond, poisoned his two bro?
thers, and came to Europe to sell his
treasure, disposing of it ultimately to
Catharine II, of Russia for £100,000.
Shajas, for that was the Armenian’s
name, did not live long to enjoy his
ill-gotten gains, for a few years after-
wards he himself was poisoned by his
son-in-law. It is a significant fact that
Nadir Shah. from whose throne this
gem was taken, was himself a victim
of poison. / .

The "Orion” diamond, which also
adorns the imperial sceptrc, weighs
193 carats, and with another twin bril-
liant at one time formed the eyes of a
Hindoo idol. It was stolen by a
French soldier, who sold it for £1500
to an English captain. The latter, in
turn, disposed of it to a diamond mer-
chant for £4000; and finally an Arme-

-- nian became possessor of it, and sold
it to Prince Gregory Orlolf, by whom
it was presented to the Princess Cath-
erine. The Armenian received in pay-
ment two and a quarter million francs,
and an annuity of one hundred thou-
sand francs.—Harper‘s Round Table.

 

A WOMAN’S-RIGHTS BIRD.

The Female Leaves the llIale, at Home toi
i Take All the Care of the Family. .
That graceful little bird, the red
phalarope, has one very remarkable
peculiarity. When in full breeding
plumage it is the female and not the
male that is the brighter and more. con
spicuvous bird. The red of the breast
and under parts is deeper, and thc'
mottled markings of the back and head
are brighter and more clearly' defined:
-The first day’ they appeared in the
Spring of 1882 I shot several for the
collection, and I never shall forget my
surprise when dissection showed bud«
ding. eggs in all of my supposed males,
for this unusual sexual difference in
the breeding plumage is not generally
mentioned in the ordinary handbooks
of ornithology. ,
} Now this peculiar difference means
something. The phalarope is :1 “WO«
man’s rights” bird, and doesn’t trouble
herself with the cares of a ,family.
While it is quite commofi dinong the
waders for the male to take his share
of the work of incubation. Among
the phalaropes it is the male alone
that hatches the eggs and takes care
of the young-in fact does everything
except lay the eggs. When they have
laid their eggs the females go off in
flocks, playing and feeding by them-
selves, while the males must stay at
- home and take the whole care of the
family. The eggs were always laid in
low marshy ground, generally on a

narrow isthmus between two little
ponds—John Murdock in Chautau-
quan.

RULES OF THE HOTEL.
They Were Concise and Right to the Point
and gladly Understood.

"I’ve had to stand for some queer
rules and regulations in my time, said
the Arkansas drummer, but the most
unique code of rules governing a hotel
I ever had sprung on me was at the
Tallewanda llotel, in College Corner,
Ohio. I rein-ember each and every
one of them distinctly to this day.
They were posted in this order:—

“1. Board, $50 per week, meals extra.

“2. Breakfast at five, dinner at 'six,
supper at seven.

“3 Guests are‘requested not to speak
to the dumbwaiter.

"4. Guests willing to get up without
being called can have self-raising
flour for supper. '

“.5. The hotel is surrounded by a
beautiful cemetery. Hearses to hire,
twenty-five cents a day.

“6. Guests wishing to do a little
driving will find a hammer and nails
in the closet. '

"7. If your room gets too warm open
the wind-ow and see the fire escape.

"8. If you are fond of athletics and
like good jumping, lift the mattress
and see the bed spring.

"9. If your lamp goes out take a
farther out of the pillow, that’s light
enough for any room.

"10. Any one troubled with a night-
mare will find a halter on the bedpost.

“11. Don't pick a quarrel with the
clerk. His brother is the chief of po-
lice. and his father the mayor of the
town.

“12. Don’t worry about paying your
bill. The, house is supported by its
ioundarion.”——New York Herald.

Eli's or at Color on Dew:

It is said that dew is a great respect-
er of colors. To prove this take pieces
of glass or board and coat them heav-
ily with red, yellow, green and black
paint. Expose them at night, and you
will find that the yellow will be cov-
ered with moisture, and the green will
be damp, but that the red will be per-
fectly dry. This experiment has been

tried many times and always with

the same result.

 

“D’ye moind that?” said Dolan, as
he gazed out of a window. “It’s a
fioine p’rade. An’ all tliini min is in
l’oine marchin’ widout goin’ nowlieres
in particular. Th-ot’s'tli’ peculiar’ty av
human natur’. We don’t iver think

WHOSE FAULT is IT?

A Local Occurrence That

Will Interest Many
Readers.

If when a foghorn warns the mariner
to shear oil the coast, he still hugs the
shore and wrecks upon it, whose fault
is it? If the red switch light is up and
the engine driver deliberately pulls
ahead and pitches into another train,
blame the driver.
man will, in spite of warnings, try to
find out how many teeth a buzz saw has
and the saw tries to find out how many
fingers the workman has, blame the
workman—not the saw. If a sick man
knows that a certain medicme is doing
him good, and he carelessly neglects to
use it, blame the man not the medicine.
If Nor-walk people who have kidney
complaint and backache will not take
Doan’s Kidney Pills, when they are e11-
dorsed by scores of citizens, blame the
people, not the endorsers.

Mrs. Joseph Whitley of 61 Belden
avenue, says: “I was reading the pa-
pers one ’ evening, and came across an
advertisement of ~D0an’s Kidney Pills,
and at the time I was annoyed with a
pain in the small of my back and was
thinking of trying some preparation to
see if I could get relief. Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills seemed to me to be above the
average judging from the cures they
had made, and I got a box at Hale’s
drug store and took them. They pro-
duced decided and satisfactory results.
I recommend them to my friends.”

Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price 50 cents per box, 6
boxes for $2.50. Sent by mail on receipt
of price. Foster-Milburn 00., Bufi'alo,

Remember the name Doan’s and take
no other.

HOTELS IN CHINA.
Not the Most Comfortable Places in which
,. to Sleep.

The hotels are usually grouped with-
in a square or two of one another.
Each one seeks to attract guests by
high-sounding titles. For instance,
in Canton are hotels which flaunt the
signs of “The Fortunate Star,” “The
Golden Profits,” (an unusually frank
confession for a landlord to make;
“The Iiank-Gonferring,” and “The
Happiness.” The food is not so bad,
but the traveler who goes to one of
these houses to sleep will wish that
he had gone to another. The bedrooms
are small, thin-walled boxes in which
you may hear the breathing of your
next neighbor or be kept awake half
the night by the conversation of people
at the other end of the hall, or worse
still, be almost stifled by the smoke
l'l‘Nll an opium pipe which is being
;..,lulged in by the man across the
;‘ :issageway.

One house of entertainment peculiar
to China is the dog-and-cahmeat res-
taurant. This does not mean that
household pets are brought there to be
led, but that Tabby and ‘F'ldo are
served up in stews. According to
prices charged for other food, these
stews are rather expensive—especally
if the cat or dog chanced to be black,
and therefore more nutritious, accord-
ing to. popular notion.——Lippincott’s
Magazine.

 

 

Colnlng_Jokes.

This is a common and very legltl
mate figure of speech as applied to the
labors of burlesque writers and con
tributors to comic periodicals; but
there is an instance in which a joke
was actually coined, struck from a
graven die, and issued from a legal
mint. The fact is historical, and is as
follows: ‘

In the year 1679 the Danes advanced
with a large force upon Hamburg, but

after a. siege of considerable duration f
seeing little hope of ultimate success,

they finally withdrew and "marched
hack.

Thereupon the Hamburgers caused a
medal to be struck in commemoration
of the event. In one side of this nu-
mismatic curiosity was this inscrip
tion:

“The King of Denmark came before
Hamburg. What he gained by it will
be seen on the other side.”

On the other Sid. was a total blank

His Idea of American Women,
According to the Rev. Dr. F. E.
Clark, American women are thus re-
ferred to by the Swami Vivekanenda, .
the Hindoo who was so popular with
women while he was in this country:
“When a woman goes to find a bus:
band she goes to all the bathing places
imaginable, and tries all sorts of triélEs
to catch a man. When she fails in her
attempts she becomes what they call
in America an ‘old maid,’ and joins the
church. Some of them become very
‘churchy.’ These church women are.
awful fanatics. They are under ‘the
thumb of. the priest there. Between
them'and the priest they. make a hell
0n earth. They make a mess of relig-
ion. With the exception of these the
Americans 'are a very gobd people.
They loved me‘ very much. I loved
them. I felt as though. I was one of

them.”—New York Tribune.

 

 

How to Tell a. Genuine Diamond.

There is a very easy and simple way
to tell if'a diamond is genuine. Make‘
a small dot on a piece of paper with a
lead pencil, and look at it through the
diamond. If it shows but a single do!
the diamond is genuine; if it. shows
more than one, or. the mark allliilfll‘h
scattered, it is false, no matter \Vii-lll
It cost. ‘ '
