piece of the erue cross. The story
goes that it was presented to a Rus-

banded it to a former czar, and it
has remained the talisman of the
Russian royal family ever since, It
might bo mentioned, too, that the
czar attaehes marvelous protective

Oriental coins which werepresented
to Alexander III. by a Jew, who
said that he had dreamt that they
would have great influence on the
wellbeing of the Russian royal fam-

King Alfonso places great faith in
a ring, one of the most famous °n
history, whieh is known as the
Spanish opal and which was given
to his father by the notorious ad-
venturess, the Comtesse de Cast-
iglione, as a love token. Alfonso
XII. believed that it had a great
effect on the destinies of Spain, and
gave orders that it should always be
regarded as the mascot of his coun-
try, a, desire which the present king
religiously observes.
This ring is kept securely safe-
guarded in the royal treasury, but
Alfonso XIII. always wears on his
watch chain a gold sequin given him
by a gyepy woman, whom, according
to the story told, he met one day
near Madrid and offered her alms.
The old woman indignantly refused
them and then told how she really
belonged to one of Spain's most
ancient families and insisted upon
giving his majesty a rare sequin
which had been the treasured pos-

many ladies at the present time is
really due to the fact that the late
King Edward regarded as his mas-
cot a similar bracelet, which was
presented to him by one of his
friends shortly before the serious
illness which resulted in the post-
ponement of his coronation. His
late majesty, who was more than
usually superstitious, regarded the
bracelet as having a direct bearing
ou his ultimate 'recovery, and when
he died it was placed among thepersonal 'belongings which he be-
