She is the only vessel of any size that ever escaped with her life from the terrible Manacles Rocks. Off the Cornish coast. It is sev- eral years ago now since she struck upon that dreaded reef, but many people may remember the stir it caused, and the agitation for a lighthouse on the Man- acles that followed.

Her rival in that performance. strange- ly enough. was a ship that had a le- cord of escapades hardly short of the miraculous. This was the Diomede, a small cargosteamer. that was sunk no [less than six times in twelve years and raised each time. which constitutes a record among all the ships of the world. She was sunk first in the year she was built by striking some floating wreck- age in the Downs. and “total loss" was paid over her. A salvage company fought the wreck cheap from the un~ derwriters. and raised her at no great cost. In her third year she was sunk again. in the Hudson River. and raised. and it was on the voyage following this that she was wrecked on Sable Island but saved from total loss. She finally enjoyed the distinction of having been sunk in every one of the five oceans o.' the world. except the Antarctic. but at- ways in water just shallow enough to allow her to be raised. At last she was condemned as too old and unfit for sea, and is now a quarantine hulk in the West Indies. Her performance is unique. and not likely ever' to be beaten. for the odds against her were about the same as one would give a nmaway four-in-hand coach galloping from end to end of London _ Sold last year on the Clyde, for breaking up purposes, was a. ship that ’spent thirty years in running lmo danger, in collision twice. had the lite boat put out to her four years running, remained lhe perpetual joy of insurance companies, and yet notning could kill ,,.,.-... -1“. anomplv After driving ashore near Yarmouth in a fog. and sinking a vessel fishing on the Newfoundland Banks not long afterwards, she broke down in the Channel, and was driven on to tne French coast in a gale, her crew being taken of! by the rocket apparatus.

Still she refused to die [or she was renoated and docked. sent to sea once more. and was run into by a cattle boat on the way home, but by amazing good luck, was not sunk. Her repairs. from beginning to end, cost £llm0â€"or rather more than twice her value. She continued unkillable until she wore out with old age, and was con- demned by the Board 01 Trade.

A good listener never interrupts, ex- cept to applaud, but. a poor listener is preferable to the one who spoils a good story by discovering its flaws, whicn a great many good stories have. There was a social party gathered in a pleas- ant country house, and one of the gen- tlemen had just told the story of the criminal condemned to death by some ancient ruler. He was to be beheaded, and, as the executioner stood beside him with drawn sWord, the culprit was giv- en a goblet of wine to drink. He turned to the King and asked, as a last favor, that the executioner be directed to hold his hand until the goblet of wine had been drained. “You have my Royal word.” said the King. “You shall not die-“until you have drained the cup." \ Thereupon the ingenious criminal dashed the goblet to the stone floor, spil- ling its contents, and thus deferring his death sentence indefinitely. The story happened to be new to some of the party and was greeted with so much favor that, another gentleman endeavored to cap it. “Every drop of blood in the body is filtered by the kidneys. if the blood is weak or watery the kidneys have no strength for their work and leave the blood unfiltered and foul.

KIDNEYS. Some Simple Tests by Water. Taste and Ink Spot. The expert of diamonds can detect an imitation as a rule at a glance. but not so the ordinary individual. An imita- tion diamond is never so brilliant as a genuine stone, and a very simple test is to place it under water. The imi- tation stone is practically extinguished, while a genuine diamond will continue to sparkle. When possible a genuine stone should be placed beside the imi- tation one under water, and the con- trast will at once be apparent. Perhaps the simplest method of all. however, is to examine an ink-spot on a sheet of white paper through 3 dia- mond by holding the under surface against the eye. If the stone be coun- terfeit the black spot will appear greatly magnified. or at least doubled. The outline will. moreover. appear blurred and indistinct. By gising a magnifying gulls: the test can readily be made ab- so u e. “Nice hotel you’ve got here,” said the affable stranger. . “I'm glad you like it .sir." said the landlord. .- “Do a good business 2"- “Oh.

A little later the landlord asked ano- ther of his guests. a. commercial tra- veller, it he knew who the gentleman Another very simple and efficient test is to place a drop of water on the stone and carefully observe. the result. The stone should first be very carefully cleansd. On an imitation diamond the drop. however small. will dclinquesce, but on a true. stone the drop will retain its original shape. l! a real diamond be put in the mouth its icy coldness will be noticeable at once; not so that of an} imitation gem. “Oh " replied the traveller. “he’s the new come-tax assessor." 9 ”When the Emperor or Empress of China. appears in public. no other per- son is allowed to occupy a higher place than they do. Therefore, on such occa- sions the shutters of all buildings are drawn, and the upper parts of the houses past. which the Royal procesr slon is expected to move are deserted, the inhabitants swarming to the ground floors in order to show due deference to their rulers. It is a. traditionary etiquette custom in the Marlborough family for each Duke to present a Blenheim spaniel lo the Duchess when she enters Blenheim Palace for the first time as its mistress. The story from which this custom has its origin is that during the Battle of Blenheim a spaniel followed at the heels of the great Duke throughout the day, never leaving him until victory was as- sured. ‘ until the matter was explained to the management. qu duly ygctifigd. ' By a. remarkable law of Royal eti- quette, which ..as existed for a number of years past at the Court of Siam, no person is permitted to sleep in an apartment situated above that occupied by the King. A deliberate breach of this rule has on more than one occa- sion been punished by death. Recently, when the King of Siam paid a visit to Paris. a number of bedrooms were re- served directly above that in which the King was to have slept. for the dusky followers of the Royal visitors. The blunder caused great consternation among When the youthful ng of Spain was twelve years of age he one day had the misfortune to slip and [all down a flight of the palace steps. The fan would very probably have been attend- ed with fatal results had it. not. been for a servant, who extended a kindly hand and saved his young master. by breaking the fall. But. by a stringent rule of Spanish etiquette no servant may dare touch the sacred person of the King. and for this very “grove" offence the servant was at. once dis- missed trom his position. Another very curious etiquette law is that which pxevents the President from ever accepting an invitation from the Ambassador of a foreign country. 'lhe reason for this is that. the President is supposed never to leave his country. and. as every embassy is regarded as the territory of the particular country it represents. the President would be deemed to have left. his own country by stepping over the THRESHOLD OF ANY EMBASSY. Notwithstanding the democratic in- stitutions of the United States. the social relations of President Roosevelt with the outside world a . governed by strict etiquette. An im alien to din- ner at the President‘s ollloiul residence â€"the White Houseâ€"is a command just as much as a Royal invitation would be. Many a dinner-party amongst the Senators and Gavemmeut officials has had to be cancelled because of the President's habit of inviting the lead- ing members of the Senate to dine with him simply to discuss political affairs.

THE FEARFUL COURTIERS. T0 TEST DIAMONDS. Natural silk possesses to a large de- gree qualities of brilliancy. elasticity, strength, affinity for coloring and bleach- ing materials. and when handled a pe- culiar rustling sound. known as scropp. Perhaps the brilliancy and scroop of silk are the best known of its qualities. and it ls in these two respects that ar- lificial silk most closely resembles na- tural. its brilliancy being greater and its scoop slightly less. The founders of the new industry have kept in view not so much the exact re- production of natural silk as the pro- duction of a substance which embraces its valuable Draperties. The viscous fluid from which the silk worm spins his thread is chemically duplicated by a process described in the Technical World. The fabric thus pro- duced is inflammable. and in order to remedy this detect it is treated with an alkali sulphide solution. “I think that friend of yours is pretty forward on such short acquaintance,” complained Mrs. Nagget. “I overheard him remark that 1., was ‘no chicken.” “Well," replied Mr. Nagget, “you can‘t blame him.

Frenchmen Threaten to Put the Silk- worm Out 01 Business. Science threatens to put the silkworm out of business. French chemists have discovered at least three distinct me- thods of competing with the old reliable but extremely deliberate silkworm.” Perhaps the most interesting of these is the manufacture of silk from guncot- ton, which also serves as a base for he most powerful of modern explosves.

Not because there are notes good pearls in the sea as ever came out of it. No; the only reason is, says Mr. Streetcr. the well-known expert, that. even in the best diving dresses men can- not descend to much greater depths than fifteen fathoms (ninety feel). The pres- sure is too great. and even from that depth they come up bleeding at nose and mouth. The pearl oyster beds at this depth have been pretty well worked out. but there are plenty more at great- er dcptns.
