A FAMOUS DIAMOND. Curious Incident In the History of the Kohinoor. The Kohinoor fell into the hands of the ruler of Lahore and on the con quest of the Punjabkbecame a posses sion of Queen Victoria in the year 1850. The first authentic mention of this matchless gem is by an eastern monarch, who refers to a "jewel valued at one-half the daily expenses of the t whole world." A century or two later 1 the Persian conqueror of India, seeing o the diamond glitter in the turban of A the unfortunate rajah, exclaimed, with I rough and somewhat costly humor, d "Come, let us change our turbans in ! pledge of friendship!" The exchange 0~S1 was promptly effected. The stone fell at at last into the hands of the British, tl and pending its delivery to the crown s Sir John Lawrence, afterward Lord C Lawrence, was made its guardian. ID His biograltier, Bosworth Smith, re- C lates a curious incident of Its custody. Half unconsciously Sir John thrust it, a wrapped up in numerous folds of cloth, ar into his waistcoat pocket, the whole be- r< iii in an insignificant little box. He a: continued the work upon which he was b< engaged and thought no more of his o1 precious treasure. He changed his C clothes for dinner and threw his waist- e coat aside, still forgetting all about the n little box contained in it. S Some weeks afterward a message came from the viceroy saying that the t< queen had ordered the jewel to be im- fc mediately transmitted to her. es In a moment the fact of his careless- w 'ness flashed across Sir John, but he te slipped away to his I)rivat6 room S and with his heart in his mouth sent so for his old bearer, of whom he asked: k "Have you a small box that was in my waistcoat pocket some time ago?" 0 "Yes, sahib," the man replied. "I tb found It and put it in your chest of in drawers." le "Bring it here," said Sir John. "Open to it," he ordered when the little box had A been produced, "and see what Is in side." He watched the man with tense anx- a lety as fold after fold of the rags was cc taken off. w "There is nothing here, sah!b," said nE the old man at last, "but a bit of glass."-Sunday Magazine. DINING TABLES. The Trv.nsition From the Festive Board of Primitive Man. The first dining table was probably just a block of stone or a log of wood, but even primitive man must soon have discovered that these devices did not provide for the comfortable dis posal of his legs and have set about taxing all his Ingenuity to invent some thing else. It is probable that as the result of his cogitations a rough hewn piece of board supported on two big N stones came into fashion among the elite in these far prehistoric times. The early trestle table which was used in the beginning of the fifteenth century consisted of a parallelogram of wood, fashioned Into a board, resting U] upon two or more pedestal-like sup- t ports. And we have a reminiscence of t thIs movable kind of table in the ex pression, "A seat at the board," today, tb while that of "taking the chair" is ob- St viously a survival of the time when a th chair was the place of honor reserved Vi for the master of the house or given by th the grand seigneur to the guest whom he wished to honor, the other diners Sn sitting upon rude benches placed at s the side of the table. i One can imagine the inventor seated 19 at the head of hIs new dinner table, ar clad in his best bearskin and surround- of ed by a select and admiring company sa of his intimates, who ate roast flesh literally off the festive board and who drank the first toast at this first prime val dinner party in his honor in cool. water from a stream hard by. From Ithis stage to planks resting on rude trestles would* be an easy transition, and civilization had of course made considerable I -ogress before the sup ports and the board were joined as one piece of furniture. The Word "Studio." "Studio" is one of the many foreign words that have acclimated them selves in the English language. It isT a recent import from Italy, unknown to ,Tohnson's Dictionary and apparent ly not occurring before the nineteenth century, but it has supplied a want. "Study," which is the real English for "studio," suggests a room for reading and writing, and "workroom" lacks distinctiveness. The French get along with "atelier," which literally means a place in which small planks are pre pared-in other words, a carpenter's workshop.J The Middle Class In Novels. Is it true 'that the modern English novel reader insists upon hearing about the rich or the great? I can hardly think so when I remember the many successful works of fiction dealing with costers and Scottish ministers, journalists and typists, actresses andf novelists. The Disraeli type of novel seems almost extinct, and the great bulk of works of fiction deals with the' middle classes.-London Lady. Laying For Him. "There's a new young man calling on Miss Maud this evening," said the fox terrier, "and he seems real nice." "Yes, I heard her say he was nicef enough to eat," replied the bulldog on the lawn. "That's what I'm waiting for."-Philadelphia Ledger. Woman's Part. -"What part of speech Is 'woman,' "W~oman isn't a part of speech, my son. She's the whole speech." He is truly rich who desires noth Sing, and he is truly poo'r who covets( ail.- Solon. Long Tennessee Fight. For twenty years W. L. Rawls, of Bells, Tenn., fought nesal catarrh. He writes: "The swel ling and soreness inside my nose was fearful, till I began applIying Bucklen's ArQica Salve to* the sore surface; this caused t h e - soreness and swelling t disap pear, never to return."
