Dnrin a time of hard fl hting in Tonquin, a born ‘ fell into an ambu ance full of wounded men. Sister Theresa seized the bomb and carried it to a distance. When she set it down it exploded, but, luckily, not until she had had time to throw herself flat on the ground. Her assistants rushed up in terror and found her unconscious and covered with blood. When she regained her senses she uttered her customary phrase, " It‘s only a 'oke,” an expression which has since become or nickname. At another time she was tendin a wounded man, when she was struck , a passing splinter from a charge of metra lle : but her quiet observation w" merely, sensual, “It‘s only a joke.” At the ceremony of the decoration, none of the customary formalities Were omitted.

It has been there from time lmmemoriel. It was mode in the sixth century b e. skilled Romnn goldsmlth for King Ant nric’e ener- getic Queen Theodolinde, whom Pope Greg. 0 the Great wished to compliment for ri ding Lombardy of the Arien heretics. When e Germm Emperor wns to be crown- ed it used to be brought to Milena in great ‘stete. It wee no joke to be crowned Em- ‘Ezror of Germany in those dn 3. It had to \ done three times over. F rst there wee \ Gemenie’e silver crown, ‘to he received at Aix-la~Chanelle; then the iron crown at Milano. And, lastly, at Rome the Pope placed the golden diadern upon the sover- eign’s head. Each had its peculiar signifi~ canoe, but the iron crown was held in the highest esteem. It derives its name from an iron ring Within the oak! golden rim, which. according to tradition, was made from a nail ot the true cross. 0! all royal crowns it is the plainest : A broad flat rim of hammer- ed gold, decorated with flowers in enamel and recious stones, not lished as dia- mon s are used nowadays, ut uncut emer- alds, sapphires and rubies in their natural aha' The iron crown, i1 sacro chiodoâ€"the holy nail, as the inhabitants of Mona call itâ€" wae worn by Charlemagne and b a long succession of German enperors tor him, ending with Charles V. Napoleon Bonaparte was t e las_t_sove1:eign upon_whose head it rented. \Vith cheacteristic audacity he put it there himself. It was in May, 18"5, that he gathered about him at Milano the dignitaries of the empire, the foreign diplo- mats and his generals, and, in the presence of his victorious army, set the crown upon his own head with the words that stand en- graved on its rim : “ God gave it to me. Woe unto him who touches it." In 1859, when the Austrians were driven from Lombardy, they carried the iron crown with them, first to Mantua and afterward to Vienna, where it was kept until Venice was ceded to Italy by the peace of 1866. Then it was returned to the cathedral at Monza, and there it remains still, jealously guard- ed with Queen Theodolinda’s other treasures and the crown of her royal husband. The crowns worn by the Gothic kings who ruled in Spain before the Moorish invasion are not uite as old as the iron crown, but they are th handsomer and costlier. They were found a score of years ago in the old cemetery Fuente di Guerrszar, near Toledo, and form now the chief attraction in the Elung Museum. There are eight of them, and their aggregate gold value exceeds $10,- 000. The biggest and handsomest is nearly a foot across and studded with diamonds, pearls, rubies and sapphires. A row of little crosses of old and cornelian runs all the way aroun it, and letters forming the words Receswinthus Rex Ofl‘eret are fasten- ed to these with chains of the same precious metal. Twenty~two pearls and golden tears depend from the letters. The next largest of the crowns is supposed tohave belonged to the Queen. Like the King’s, it is stud- ed with diamonds. The collection was ap- parently given to some church, as was the practice in the early middle a as. An in- scription in all the crowns rea s: “In the name of the Lord, Lonnica donates this to Santa Maria di Abaxo,” and it is known that a church of that name once stood near Toledo. Receswinthus reigned in the mid~ dle of the seventh century. It is probable that the priests buried the crowns to hide them from the invading Moors half a hun- dred years after his death, and that they were either killed or driven into exile, where their secret rished with them. The crowns were foun by accident by workmen digging a vault in the churchyard. e holy crown of Hungary is another historic diadem. According to the popular tradition 'it was wrought by the angels for his apostolic Majesty, King Stephen 1., but history records its two~fold birth, for it is maslly made out of two separate crowns. ‘ Pope Sylvester II. sent one of them to Stephen when he was crowned in the ear 1001 3 the other was given to Geiza, (gun- garian noble, less than 1C0 years later, by the B zanthine Emperor, Michael Ducas, and w en Geiza succeeded tothrone of Hun- gary he had the two crowns made into one. n this shape it looks the popular ideal of a crown; a broad gold ring, surmounted by four golden bows that neet at the top. On the rim at the starting point of each of the four is an enamelled portrait. One repre- sents the Saviour, the other three Gelza, Michael Ducas and Constantine Porphyro~ genitus. . Four smaller portraits in enamel A J__:_s. LL- -__L on the front of the rini depict the arch- angeis Michael and Gabriel and the saints George and Demetrius. The crown is cov- edbyvith uncut sapphires, amethye's and ru lee. The Hungarian people fairly revere this crown. To them it stands for more than the mere symbol of political sovereignty ; it is the ve palladium of Hun ary. A troop of halber lore and two no les of ancient lineage who are responsible for the treasure with their lives ard it ni ht and day in the castle at Bug, where t is kept. in olden times no king could reign in Hun ary without it had rested upon his brow. f he died before he had been crowned his name was stricken from the record of kings; even a pretender ac uired a quasi title to the kingdom, if b area or stratagem he could possess himsel of it. When the last king of the house of Arpad died by poison in the year 1302, the throne became the prey of rival claimants. Charles Robert, Prince of Anjou, a nephew of the King of Naples, who was backed by the See of Rome, had the prize almost within his grasp, when his Bohemian opponent received unexpected succour from his father, the Emperor Wan- oeslaus. who swooped down upon Burla. captured the holy crown and carried it off to Prague. But he did not effect his pur se. The Hungarians rejected both candi ates after this catastro he and chose a third, Otto of Bavaria. g‘hus bafilod, old \Ven- ceslaus made his son‘s lucky rival pay roundly for the crown without which his election would have been an empty form. It was an expensive bargain forum), but it did not end his troubles. To get to his new capiul he had to cross FAMCDUS CROWNS. Austrhn territory, and now followed a suc- ceuion of almost: incredible :dventum, in yhich the crown played the objef role. ‘ I} became once more the prey of pretendefl. and in the mist oi ageneral fight for its possession. it suddenly disa pared. Noth- ing was seen or heard of it Ear man genera- tions. Hungary got along as best she could, ‘ and in the course of time (all under foreign l yoke. At last the crown was foundâ€"how or where is to this day unknownâ€"and was brought to Vienna by Joseph 11. From Vienna it found its way back to Hungaryu In the national uprising of 18-18 the provi- sional government obtained possession of it, but after the dcfmt and flight of Koeslth it disappeared once more. This time it was supposed tobelost for good. It was be- lieved b some that it had been aentte London 1 the despoilers, and by others that Koseuth had picked the diamonds out of their setting in the crown and sold them to the Turks. Both the statics were endless. It was lying safely buried all e while in Hungarian soil. A few months after the defeat of the national cause a peasant betra ed the spot where Koesuth and his frien a had hidden it, hoping thus to thwart the conquerors. the Austrians. and it was brought back_to_the castle in since. Scotland's ancient crown is another royal diadem that has had its full share of queer adventures. The antiquaries assume that it was made for King Robert Bruce. It is made of two circlets of gold, tne upper decorated with crosses and lilies, the lower with uncut diamonds. Two gold bands rise from the lower ring and, bending over the head, support a olden ball and cross. When the Stuarts me rulers of England and took up their residence there, they kept up the practice of going;‘ north to receive Scotlandscrown on to soil. Charles I. did express the wish that the crown and regalia might be sent to London for his eon~ venience, so that the ceremony might take place there ; but he chan ed his mind in a urry, when the Scots too it as an insult, and went up to be crowned like the rest. That was in June, 1633. Charles II. was crowned in Scotland on New Year‘s Day, 1651, when he claimed the throne ; but on the advance of the Protectcr’s forces the regslia were hurried 011' to Dunnottar. a strong castle on the North Sea coast, lest they should fall into the hands of the enemy. In the following year the castle was invested by the Cromwe’lians under Lambert, and its commander, Earl Ogilvy, was summoned to surrender. He replied with a challenge, and Lambert laid siege to the castle. Earl Ogilvy had sent urgent messages to the king for a ship to carry off the crown, foreseeing the fall of the castle; but. Charles had none to send. Thus thrown upon their own resources, the involuntary custodians of the regaliaâ€"there were besides the crown, the sword and the sceptre used at corona- hensâ€"cast about for a way of putting them beyond the wanton enemy’s reachâ€"for it was made clear very soon that the castle could not hold out long. Here, as often before in the world’s history, it was a woman’s wit that saved the day. The woman was the wife of James Granger. the minister of a little church a few miles from Dnnnottar. On pretence of visiting a sick friend in the castle she passed unchallenged through the besieging army with her maid , A AL_ _n_‘l2_ vu-vu°.. ._v _ -VV, . and, returning, the; carried away the regalia concealed under theirs]: irts. Safe outside the enemy’s line the regalia were buried in the church in a spot known only to the minister and hisfaithful wife. The castle fell and Lam- bert stormed and raged when he learned that the crown had slipped through his fingers. Suspicion fell on the minister and his spouse; it is reported that they were put to the rack to make them confess, and it is more than probable that the story is true. People were put to the torture in those days for much ess than that. How- ever, they confessed nothing, and in the crowding events of that stimng time the crown and its disappearance were alike soon forgotten. At the restoration the regalia Were recovered in good condition by Charles II. After the union between England and Scotland they were pet away in a‘gigantlc Ilvâ€" wvâ€"â€"'vâ€" “â€"â€" stron est room in Edinbur h castle, for fear that t e sight of them mig t offend English prejudice, and there they lay more than a hundred years, from 1707 t01818, when they were once more brought to light by a com- mission specially appointed for the purpose. The regalia are still at Edinbur h. These are the most famous o the historic crowns of Europe ; but there are others that possess much interest. In the Cathedral at Aix~la.Cha lle is one donated tothe church by Mary, Sheen of Scots; another in the church at Namur was worn by Baldwin, Count of Flanders, whom the crusaders made King of Jerusalem. The thorns that are set in the gold are said to have been taken from thecrown of thorns worn by the Saviour on the cross.

T 0 triple crown is worn by the Pope onl on extraordinary occasions. O - dinarily a wear: a common hiohop'e mitre. The tiara was originally a plain pointed cap, but Pope Harmiedae added a crown in the‘ year 523, Boniface VIII, another at the be- 'uning of the fourteenth century. and ohn XXII. the third a score of years later. The three together represent the ecclesiasti. cal, civil an judicial an remacy of Rome. A mound and a cross ofp gold surmount the triple crown. The handsomest of the four at the Vatican isthe one presented by Na- poleon to Pope Pius VII. in 1805. Its three golden rings are studded with precious stones. At the apex is an emerald said to be worth alone 10,000 francs. The value of the whole crown in estimated at fully two ‘ hundred thousand francs. Napoleon had another splendid crown madeâ€"for himself. It was that one he put on his own head at the famous coronation in the Church of Notre Dame in Paris. After his fall it was kept under lock and key in the national treasury until the nephew of his uncle assumed it after the coup d'elat in l852. To Frenchmen who worship the name of Napoleon but hate the empire it is now rather an embarrassing relic. A Minnea lls mistress was recently fined SID for slappn p0 her hired glrl.

Won dn‘t you think that a horse would come to know that when he is cleaned and groomed and harnessed, or saddled, that he was expect- ed to go somewhere and do something! Well, if left alone he’ll go straight back to the stable. Where’s his memory? In the manger and the hay rack. If he shies at'an object on the road once, the chances are a thousand to one that he’ll shy at the same object upon the same read every time he comes near it. If the roads are slippery, what does he do? \Spread out his four feet in order to balance himself? Not a bit of it. He begins to dance about on two.

Put a fly on a w ndow and up he goes to- ward the top ; he can’t be made to walk downward. Forthwith he made a window screen divided in half. The upper half lapped over the lower, with an inch of s ace between. As soon as a fly would ‘lght on the screen it would proceed to travel upwd‘rd, and would thus walk strai ht outdoors. On reaching theto of the ower half he would be outside. at being able to walk down, he had no way to return to the room. HEALTH.
