Slaying of Men Directly Due to the Pope's Precious Gem. Pope Leo is the owner of what is believed to be the largest diamond in the world. It has most romantic history, having been the cause of the assassination of a ki numerous other crimes, and of a small war, in which several thousand men were | killed. Memela, an aged South African ne gro, has told the secret which .inks him in history with Pope Leo and President Oom Paul Kruger of the Transvaal. : It was Memela Ren owned the dia- mond for many an act of gratitude to K. fo freeing him, many years ago, from the Boers, who had captured him, he gave him this precious stone, which he had carried concealed on his body through strange and terrible hardships and adventures. Yor a century before that it had been a sacred talisman of savage chief- tains. It belonged first to Meshesh, the powerful chief of the Basuto nation, who gave it as a friendly of- fering to the great king of the Zulus, Chaka. The envy that it excited in his brother led to Chaka’s 4 sination. Then followed a long line of plotting and Bideour crimes for its possession among riva) chiefs ite nen scving it, finally attempt- cure it. but failed. The native suspicions being aroused, a war against the whites begun, which resulted in the killi and many times that number of blacks. D many chiefs were dead Me- mela came into power and got pos- session of the wonderful gem His capture, s ery and escape, and bis gift of the talisman to Kruger in gratitude complete the history of what is believed to be the largest and most precious diamoud in the world. of 1,000 Boers, When to Bow. A young lady would be right in bow- ing to a gentleman by whom she had heen taken to dinner. She should bow to him on meeting him in after av introduction by a mutual friend. She should not bow if she has merely talked when casually meeting at a friend’s house, when no introduction took place. In England a lady bows first. Abroad this is reversed, and care should be taken to follow the custom which prevalls. Women generally bow to each other simultaneously, but, as a matter of fact, a married lady should bow first to an unmarried one; and a lady of bigher rank should take the initiative. If a lady bowed to a gentleman of her acquaintance who was accom- panied by a friend no acknowledge- ment need be made to the stranger; though both men would raise their hats. Above the Clouds. Airships have not yet been invented, yet it is possible to sail for a day and a night in a fairly comfortable steam- boat at a height of over two miles above the sea. The water on which you accomplisu this remarkable feat is Lake ‘Titicaca. which lies between Peru and Bolivia. It is a huge lake, 120 miles long an. nearly 60 wide, and is over 1,000 feet deep. It is away up Nine rivers flow into it, besides a vast amount of snow water, yet it has no visible outlet. The 600-ton steamers which sail on Lake Titicaca were built in Scotland, carried over the passes in sections, and put together on the spot. The fuel is Australian coal, brought from 7,000 miles away. In the lake are many beautiful islands. and the cliffs which line the shores are magnificently rug- | ged. In no place can a sbip anchor. The water, even sixty feet from shore, is hundreds of feet deep. The native boats on Lake Titicaca have straw sails. Prassian Girls Not to Be Whipped. The teachers whip wil no longer be a source of dread to Prussians girls, for the pedagogues throughout the country have received the following Government edict: In deference to the sentiment of our time, neither male nor female teachers will be permitted hereafter to inflict bodily ch isement on female pupil Since girls are possessed of a delicate sense of honor, the extreme punishment for disobedience or lack of diligence in their ¢ should be. be placed on a sort of “bench of oesie ence” near the teacher’s desk. A Fellow Feeling. Little Edgar, on seeing his mother approaching with a stick in her hand to punish him, immediately crawls under the bed; whereupon his mother informs the father, who gets down on his knees and pokes his head under the bed, saying: “Are you there, Edgar?” Edgar—Yes, papa, is she after you, His Cruel Retort. “Her face,” she said, when speaking of her dearest neighbor, “is like an open book.” “Yes,” he replied, heartlessly, “I in- fer from the few remarks her husband let drop that she keeps it open most of the time.” Profit on a Whale. The profit of a single whale that is captured is very large. One about fifty feet long weighs 140,000 pounds, and will give 60,000 pounds of blubber, from whicn 48,000 pounds of train oil ean. be made and 3,000 pounds of whalebone. Chinese Babies. Chinese babies are fed on rice and nothing else after they are a few months old. Cow’s milk is never giv- en to them. Chinese houses are never heated. If the baby is cold he is giv- en a sun bath. oe London Transit.

The slave market was a feature of every city agora, and especially of the temple fairs. Captives in war were, like the rest of the booty, treated as merchandise. They were disposed of chiefly by the ional traders and seld mostly Thus men of culture and edu- cation often appeared in the condition of slaves. Empl-yed as_ teachers, us of the y readers, secretaries, muscians, they often served the purpose of spreading the knowledge of art, manners and life among other peoples, and aided in mixing the sols and forwarding tbe interest of cosmopolitanism. The Story of Ponce. Ponce is an old story to-day. [fo its history is a fairy tale which has the merit of being true. In the years when time went slower a page lounged through the leisures of Ferdinand’s court. He was young, impudent and abominably good-looking. A princess smiled and beckoned. That was enough There and then he was sent to another world, to a better one, to the tropics which Columbus had founded. He landed at Borique ssisted with easy gallantry in eliminating the natives. assisted also in gathering the gold which they left. Meanwhile Boriquen had been chris- tened Porto kico. Incidently the page had grown ola. Whether he re tted his princess is problematic. That he missed his good lewks is clear. Ip an effort to recover them he took a trip. The story of El Dorado had not yet been told. But ano.uer story, equally if not more seductive, was current then. It was to .e effect that some- where near by were the fountains of eternal youth. In search of these waters he sailed. The land which he reached was so rich in flowers that he called it Florida. But of the waters not a trace. And yet, may it not be that the legend of them typified fame. For it was that which he did find. His name was Ponce do Leon, und it was he who founded Ponce. Too Big a Name for s Recruit. An army ofhcer has a bit of a story to tell which threws a sidelight on tue ways of recruiting officers. Ino his command during the Cuban cam paign was a private who came every day to ask for letters. Joseph Murphy was his name on ike roll, but the tang of his tongue did vot suggest even re motely the Emeraid tsle. Day after day, and no lett-r came. Murphy's face grew longer, sis query more path etic every time le appeared. | “No letter,” said the officer one morn- ing. “No letter for you. There’s only one addressed to—'. me see—to Gio- vanni Paladini Cx<tellazzia—or some- thing like that. > for you.” Murphy’s face med with delight. “That-a-one for me,” he said. “My name lika that. yu to the recruiting office. | am wan to fight. Officer says, ‘What your .ume? I say, ‘Gio- vanni Paladini C.stellazzia,) and he say, ‘Ob, hellauaz:. that no name for you. You not figit with name. You fight with gun. il that name trip you up. You be Joseph Murphy.’ I be Joseph Murphy now, and that is my letter.” Carefully Considered. “What,” inquired the psychological student, “do you regard as the chief end of man?” “Well,” answered Mr. Blykins, “it depends on w you want the man for. If you nt him to do brain work it’s his hea:i, and if you want him to run errands it’s his feet.” A Wonderful Shawl, A wonderful shzwl is possessed by the duchess of Northumberland.
