THE SANC! DIAMOND. Its Course Since the Time Queen Elizabeth Bought It. Elizabeth of England purchased the famous Sanci diamond when De Sanc! extravagant and splendid. was low ir purse. When Charles became king and sent Buckingham to Paris to bring back his bride, Henrietta, the messen ger wore the Sanci. Charles gquarreled with his queen, Henrietta, and with his parliament, and not long afterward Cromwell asked for his head. Henri etta gave the diamond to the Earl of Worcester. Worcester probably gave it back to the Stuarts, for whom he ruined himself, for it descended tc James 11. James’ disastrous reign cost him the crown, but he kept the Sanci That and other jewels which he took away with bim supported various Stu. art pretenders. This particular one was sold to Louis XIV, of France for $125, 000. Stolen with other jewels in 1792, the Sanci disappeared for thirty-six years A jeweler came by it, and Prince Dem- idofr purchased it for his wife. Twen- ty years later she let it go to Jamset: jee Jeejeeboy, a rich merchant of Bom: bay. Again it appeared at a Paris jeweler's shop and was sold to the maharajah of Puttilala, He, too, came upon hard times. It was from a Lon. don jeweler that William Waldorf As tor bought it for his son's bride.— Franklin Clarkin in Everybody's Mag: azine. THE SPIDER. it Differs From an Insect In Five Main Particulars, The spider is not an insect, though probably nine people out of ten would class it under this term. With scor pions and mites spiders form a class in the animal kingdom known as arach- nida. This name is derived from a mythical personage called Arachne, the daughter of a purple dyer of Ly- dia, who was fabled to have chal- lenged Minerva to a trial of skill in spinning. So indignant was the god- dess at this act of boldness that she forthwith transformed the hapless challenger into a spider, presumably in order that she might have the best possible opportunity of practicing the art on which she prided herself so much. Spiders differ from insects In five main particulars. Their eyes are sim. ple instead of compound, they have eight legs in place of six. they do not pass through the metamorphoses which are characreristic of insects. they have no antennae and their breathing is accomplished by means of organs which combine the functions of lungs and gills instead of by tubes pervading their bodies. These points of distinction are sufficient to deter- mine the fact that it is impossible to class spiders as insects. A Good Laugh Is Good For the Health. Look at the laugh in whatsoever light you will, whether you see it as the deliverer from the bondage to out- grown notions; a schoolmaster with the sharp switch of ridicule to teach us manners; an apostle of democracy, pro- claiming that we are all of the same clay, made of it and to return to it, but every !ump of it holding some sparkle of the divine fire, and woe be- tide the man that tries to make us think that he is of different stuff! Look at the laugh. 1 say, in any light you choose, and you will see that it is not 80 much the downfall and confusion of the laughed at that makes us happy, that joggles our waistbands and sends the ba-ba spouting out, that pumps the blood along the sluggish veins, massaging the interior works and re- placing the shopworn stock of air with a new consignment, as it is the sud- den, sharp, intense realization of our personal well being.— Eugene Wood in Success Magazine, Harlem In New York.

ELECTION RETURNS TO SUIT. Swung States and National Chairmen Into Line In His Reports and Gave the Boys of the Mining Camp the Time of Their Lives. A funoy incident happened on the night of the national election of 1806 in a little camp tucked away in the mountains of southwestern Colorado, where the only means of quick com- munication with the world were a sin- gle uncertain telegraph wire and a sin- gie wore uncertain telegraph operator. Naturally only the merest scraps of election news reached the camp, but before the certain news of McKinley's election could have been got the uncer- tain operator had fallen a victim to his favorite vice and, further, bad fallen beneath the table. The only other person who knew any- thing about telegraphy was “Shorty,” the local wit and humorist, who volun. teered to write out the election returns as they clicked off from the telegraph instrument. Political sentiment was aflawe for Bryan. News of his election was not only sought, but demanded, for the average American miner is as san- guine concerning the uncertainties of politics as be is concerning the uncer- tainties of mining. The volunteer teleg- rapher was noted for an obliging dis- position. He was the “genial” of the camp. The “boys” had placed stores of giant powder at various points. ‘They had cleaned and oiled their six shoot- ers and refilled their cartridge belts, Bonfires were ready to be lighted on the hillsides, and natural enthusiasm bad been stimulated at the Metro- pole, the Cosmopolitan, the Fashion, the Trocadero and less pretentiously named oases in the desert of mining camp existence—in fact, every pre- Hminary to che grandest celebration the San Juan country ever had known. Shorty was not the man to neglect an opportunity ‘like that. The first bulletin he handed to the waiting crowd stated that New York and In- dinna were in doubt and it looked like a4 close election. with the chances fa- voring Bryan. That whetted the crowd's keen appetite for returns to razor edge, The second bulletin sent their spirits up with a leap, “Bryan hus carried Kansas, and the Demo- crats are claiming lowa.” “Whoopee!” from the crowd. Shorty bent his ear to the clicking sounder and inscribed “Bulletin No. 8— Illinois joins the Bryan column with H,000 majority. Indiana certain, New York very close.” When the deafening chorus had died down a young member of the party usked the leader, “Hadn't we better begin to set off the giant?” Before the leader could answer Shorty reproved him by word and look. “Don’t go off half cocked.” he said. “It's always best to wait until you are scre. You can't be too con- servative in a case like this.” After a long pause, in which the crowd displayed much impatience. the imperturbable and conservative Shorty transcribed bulletin No. 4, but before pussing it out he sald: : “Now, boys, don't do anything rash. Wait for the actual returns.” Bulletin No. 4 read, “Senator Jones claims Ohio and Pennsylvania for Bry- up.” Under ordinary circumstances a doubt might have been expressed con- cerning the probability of such states reversing their political records, but the crowd was convinced of an im- pending landslide for their favorite und yelled with delight. “Now we are beginning to get the news,” remarked Shorty when the cheering ceased, and be began to write bulletin No. 5 as follows: “New York gives Bryan 100,600 plu- rality; Indiana, 40,000, Returns from Wisconsin and Minnesota indicate lerge Democratic gains.” The crowd heard only the first sen- tence. Shouting. cheering, yelling, screaming, it broke for the street. “Hold on!" called Shorty. “Here's another.” Bulletin No. 6, “Quay concedes Peun- sylvauoia to Bryan.” Another fragment broke from the crowd and ran down the street shout- ing the pews. The new operator's pen- cil was traveling rapidly over the pa- per, while his friends and fellow citi- zens crowded closely upon him and read as he wrote bulletin No. 7, “Mark Hanna has locked up Republican head- quarters and gone home.” The roar of the crowd was drowned by the roar of exploding giant powder. Buildings shook, windows rattled, ac- companied by the crash of broken The celebration was on, and Englishman Has a Three Acre Repro- duction of the Matterhorn. 200 different species in bloom at once.
