It was pronounced at that time to be a marvelous work of art, equaling anything of the sort produc? ed in ancient Greece or Home, says the London Chronicle. Round the edge was an elaborate Inscription. One day Mme. de Pompadour, to her distress, lost this precious ring, which has now reappear? ed after nearly IM years' peregrina? tion.

Rear Admiral Watson Didn't Swear, bat He Thought It?The Dun ktf Waa a Radical. Unlike the popular conception of most naval officers. Hear Admiral .lohn G. Watson, who has been assigned to the command of the Asiatic squadron In succession to Admiral Dewey, Is very religious. Ho is nu ardent Pres? byterian, a deacon in that church and on euthuelastic worker In the ranks of the lay nien. says the Sau Kraucisco Sows Letter. When his naval title was only that of counnuuder, he was stationed at Sun Francisco for several years aud was superintendent of the Sunday school In connection with St. John's church, founded by the Uev. Dr. Scott and maintained by the south? ern set In memory of the founder. Of course, such a religious man Is free from the common nautical vice of profanity, but sometimes things go wrong even on the ship of a devout Christian. Admiral Watson was very disappointed when the orders for him to sail for Spain and destroy Camera's fleet were countermanded. "Didn't you swear, admiralV anx? iously Inquired a sympathetic friend, who tad been reading Dewey's famous remarka on the bridge of the Olympia during the battle of ?emnila. "No," Answered the candid soldier deacon, "not so that you could bear It But 1 thought swear as loud as I could holler.' General Pita-Haar A Lee'a Claaa Rias. An Interesting relic In the shape of a ring once worn by General Fits-Hugh Lee recently came Into the possession of W. B. Odbert a Wheeling Jeweler. Walter Bonlde and his family came to Wheeling from Huntington, W. Va.. about two months ago, and a few days Ago the head of the family informed Mr. Odbert that he had a large ring be desired to sell for Its gold value, says the New York Sun. When the ring was delivered, the jeweler could hardly believe his eyes, for It was In? scribed "Fits-Hugh Lee, 1850." The set? ting had been lost many years ago, and the intrinsic value of the gold was $6. This sum was paid RouMe. And he gave the jeweler a fragmentary history of the ring. He said the relic was the class ring of the well known Virginian. On one side It bears In deep cut figures a Templar's coat of arms and hood and on the reverse crossed swords and exes. > The Doaker Waa a Radical. ?A story?unearthed from uobody knows where?Is being circulated con? cerning the last election of Lord Charles Beresford to the house of commons. He had Just returned from York City. While the votes wer*? being polled a costermonger arrived on "it's my donkkt that's a radical." the scene to record his vote. His donkey was decked out In sumptuous green ribbons, the emblems of Beres ford's opponent. The voter, on being asked the cus? tomary question, answered shortly, "1 go for I/ord Charley, Lord bless him." Thereupon the members of the oppos? ing faction made a dash for the good man to convince him that, according to the emblems he carried, he must cast bis vote for their candidate. Thus chal? lenged, he replied: "Oh, it's all right I'm a Tory; It's my donkey that's a Radical, but lie's an ass!"

It too!: 2(000(000 men working for tou years to build lh? great wall of China. Even then many parts of the wall were already there for the men to link together. The earlier sections were built 3.322 years before the birth of Christ. The final wall was completed in 204 B. C. Now, more than 2,000 years later, the, wall is to be blown up by dynamite to suit the modern idea of progress. It will be destroyed In a twinkling. It was built lu 30 centuries. An Interesting and striking object lesson lu China's whimsical transition In a few years from superstitious stag? nation to practical advancement Is fur-* nlshed In the proposition to blow the old wall Into ruins. The proposition emanatea from the new ruler of China, the dowager empress. She la a re? markable old woman, this dowager empress, to have been evolved by a country like China. The wall has been the pride of the Mongolians all their Uvea They have been reared on It from childhood. It has been a part of their religion. Up to two years ago the bare Idea of removing It would have stricken the little yellow people dumb with Indignant horror. Even now had the auggestlon come from a foreigner they probably would have cried out for the white devil's blood and called upon the empress to banish all unbelieving dogs from the wall's protection. But It came from the great empress herself, who could cut off the heads of a thousand or two of the poor little chaps If they dared to raise so much as their eyes In dissent, and so the beloved wall must come down, with all its precious traditions and sacred charms clinging around It. It will Im? like pulling the old empire out by the roots and building a new empire of things on the ruins.?San Francisco Examiner. World** Largest Graperlne. La Para Grande, the biggest grape? vine In the world, has reached the end Of lta loug outdoor life and will soon be cut down Seventy-five years it has been growing on it ranch in the Montecito valley, near Santa Barbara, Cal., but It has shown signs of dying, and so the owner, Albert Magee, the Pittsburg etove manufacturer, has or? dered it removed. ? From the pride of the California vineyards the vine will be turned Into a museum curiosity. The Santa Barbara Chamber of Com? merce will preserve It as a specimen of what the soil of Santa Barbara County ll ibis to produce. La Para (Iramie has a trunk, or main stem, 3Vj feet in circumference, and the trellis, higher than a mau's head, on which the Spreading branches of the vine are sup? ported, measures nearly six feet in each direction. In its prime this single vine produced full four tons of"grapes In a siugW year. Those days of its glory are. however, long past.?St. Ixju is .Post-Dispatch. Two Knpltl Renders. Perhaps the fastest reader the world ever know was Gladstone. He could rea/1 and digest a novel of 50,000 words, a scientific work as large or larger, a political treatise or a history by merely glancing at the leaves as he turned them over. His eye and mind seemed to photograph with the rapidi? ty of an instantaneous camera. His eye was the lens, his mind the sensi? tive plate. In his reading he was om? nivorous to the last degree. The most rapid reader we ever had In this country is John G. Carlisle, for? mer senator from Kentucky, speaker of the house and secretary of the treas? ury.

A CHICAGO ART STORY. The number of artists In Chicago was increased recently by the arrival of one from a distant city who during his leisure moments strolled about the down town streets seeing the sights. Passing a store where a number of paintings were displayed In the win? dows, he Stepped inside to look about. Standing before a landscape about 10 by 14 inches in Bile, he a ssumed the manner of an admirer of art and awaited the approach of the proprietor. Tbl latter advanced, smiling and rubbing his hands. lie greeted the visitor cordially and said: "You are an admirer of paintings, 1 see." "Yes, to some extent," was the reply. "That is a pretty bit of scenery," the dealer returned, "that you are looking at there, that little clump of green trees and the red house. It has a charming atmosphere about It. Don't you think? With the frame, just as it is, we are asking only $10 for It That over there is a companion piece, same size, same frame. Now, if you would like to buy the pair," he continued, be? coming very earnest, "we could let you have them for?let me see. Take them along for $25." "Well, it's evidently a fair price, but the fact is I don't want to buy. 1 am a painter myself." "Oh, you are an artist!" smilingly re? marked the dealer. "Well, perhaps you would like to do some painting for us?" "Oh, I don't know; perhaps so. But what do you pay for a canvas like that?" indicating the small picture un? der discussion. "Well," replied the dealer, becoming confidential and stepping up close to his caller, "that Is a cheap painting, and If you can paint them fast, you can make good money." "Well, what do you pay?" asked the artist impatiently. "For that size we are paying cents." Sothern and Lanra Ktene. While In New York and before he had made any hit the elder Sothern had a dispute with Laura Keene con? cerning some trivial affair at a re? hearsal, and Miss Keene went Into one of her tantrums. After the quarrel on j the stage she retired to her dressing room and, still angry, sent for Sothern and began to rate him fiercely. "Stop, Laura?stop Just a minute!" Interrupted the comedian and advanc? ing to the light deliberately turned It down. "What do you mean by that, sir?" she demanded in a rage. "Oh. nothing." replied Sothern, "but you have always been so lovely to me that 1 can't bear to look upon your beautiful face when you are in a pas? sion. Now. go on."?San Francisco Argonaut.
