Each one has a day to himself and a 800d part of all the island celebrates each one. Math- ematicians say that some of the fiestas lap over. No one but a Porto Rican can explain how the business is man- aged, and it is difficult for the strang- er to understand him. . Besides cock fights, there are the great balls, in masque and otherwise, to which all “whites" are welcome, so long as they are fittmgly dressed, though they may be strangers on the island and have not "9.“ one letter of introduction.

Socie- ty does not attend. It is at break- fast or performing other duties. In lthe evening, however, there is a ;musical service. The pretty women, and the bespangled men are recover. ed somewhat from the fatigues of the day and meet once more. From churches to gambling seems to be a long stride, but the stride might be longer. Gambling is florbidden by law in Porto Rico, and the law is en- forced rigidly, except on feast days. When there is a fiesta, says the gov- ernment, the people should be allowed a little relaxation. A fiesta is a team tival in honor of a patron saint. The biggest fiesta of all is in honor of St. John the Baptist, the patron saint of the city of San Juan and of the entire island. He has several rivals and after these come the patron saints.of each of the towns and villages in Porto The chaperon is always there. “Al- ways" should be spelled with a capi- tal, for there is no exception. Affi- anced lovers, La king in the light of each other's eyes, have a. chaperon always about them. She knows her business. She was young once her- self, and she remembers it. to escort the beauty of his choice t6 her homeâ€"of course, in the company of mamma or some other proper chap- eron. When the service is nearly over the men disappear; but if a stranger were to search for them he would find them, each and every one, with pos- sibly a. few late additions, drawn up just without the cathedral}, each ready be an old beau among them he might avail himself of a bench away ‘back against the wall. The service is chief- ly music and responses, and it gives each man a chance to look squarely at each woman in the building and to guess whether or not he is progressing in her favor.

In search of a mine of amber, which, it found, will make the members of the party independently wealthy, an expedition left Sitka a few weeks ago for one of the islands off the Alaskan coast. At its head was old Russian, Popoft by name, who for thirty years has been trying to get some one with money to send him in search of the amber mine. His story is an interest- ing one. Some thirty years ago he was a sailor on board a Russian seal- ing vessel, which was wrecked on one of the small islands off the Alaskan coast. The crew managed to reach another small island in the schooner'b boats, and nearly starved before a Russian war vessel happened along and rescued them. 1 There is always a delicate courtesy in the hospitality, too impressing the guest with the idea that he confers a favor in accepting it, which, indeed. he does. This trait is not confined to any one class of the Porto Ricans â€"‘ it belongs to all. The poorest peon will give his string of fish as gladly and as freely as the rich planter would offer a cup of guarapo. It is the gentle southern air, fresh always from the ocean, that has softened the ancient Spanish strain and sweetened it.

One of theseâ€"the Town- send shaft at Port Dundasâ€"has atotal height of 463 feet, with adiameter at the base of 32 feet, and at the top of 13 feet, 4 inches. The structure weighs about 8,000 tons. The other stackâ€" that at St. Rollox, Glasgow â€" has a total height of 445 feet, 6 inches, with a diameter at the base of 50 feet and at the top 13 feet 6 inches. It was founded in May 1857; coping laid Octo- ber 61h, 1859; bent by storm of Septem- ber 91h, 1859, restored to perpendicular by sawing from September 2lst till October lst, 1859.

There is achimney at Cologne which is 441 feet high. withadiameter at. the square base of 89 feet, and at the round top of 11 feet 6 inches. Its weight is about 5,500. tons. Another towering chimney on the continent is that of the Royal Smelting Works near Freiburg, in Saxony. It is built up to the top of ahill, where it stands isol- ated, and is 460 feet high. The most , costly chimney in the world is in Brad- !ford,at the famous Manninghim Miils The shaft is a remarkable structure, architecturally, and is the most pro. minent feature in the landscape in that part of Yorkshire. It is 256 feet, 6 inches high, and 21 feet square. It contains 8,000 tons 'of material, and, met rather more than £10,000. Apeculiar- ity of this shaft is that it is as broad at the top as it is at the bottom, but the interior is wider at the sum- mit than at the base, the dimensions bciw 18 feet and 10 feet, respectively.

Austria's crown is simple, shaped like a sol- dier's helmet, but it blazes with gems. “â€"w w--‘ uv-‘o Another beauty is the crown of the Emperor of all the Russias. It is con- structed on a rather ecclesiastical de- sign. The Sultan of Turkey has for a crown a turban that is adorned with jewels enough to purchase all the sla- ve's‘henwill ever need in_ his palaces. The crown of the King of Portugal is one of ’the most valuable ever worn by a king. It is said to be worth more than five million dollars. It weighs three pounds five ounces, Troy, and there is {little represented in that weight except diamonds. rubies, sap- phiresupearls, emeralds, and solid gold. the Lombards. It is not an iron crown at all, except that a thin band of iron is placed inside it. This iron, it is sajd, is a nail that was taken from the cross on which Christ was crucified. Thir- ty-five of the Lombard kings wore it at their coronations, as did the great Emperor Charles V. of Germany, and Spain, Napoleon I. in 1305, and the Aus- trian Emperor Ferdinand in 1838. The Austrians captured it from the Ital- ians in 1859, but had to return it in 1866.

It weighs 39 ounces and six pennyweights, Troy, and is made up almost entirely of rare gems. There are in it one large ruby, a huge, broad- spread sapphire, and sixteen other sapphires, eleven emeralds, over 2,.- 500 fine diamonds and over 275 ex- quisite pearls.
