THE SANC! DIAMOND.
Its Course Since the Time Queen
Elizabeth Bought It.
Elizabeth of England purchased the
famous Sanci diamond when De Sanc!

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

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-

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.
In an early charter of what is now
New York occurs the name of Lancas-

called. It comprised the territory on

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

It wonld be an interesting matterto

alence of suicide to the alence of

many casessuch a relation. One of the
