The Queen of England's crown is con- atructed of jewels taken from old crowns Alta other stones provided by her majesty. It consists of emeralds. rubies, sapphires, pearls and diamondc. The stones, which •.are set in gold and silver, encase a crimson velvet cap with a border of ermine, the whole interior being lined with finest white ;silk. Above the crimson border of the lower edge of the band is a row of .129 pearls. Round the upper part of the upper band is a border of 112 pearls. In the front, stationed between the two borders or rls, is a huge sapphire, purchased by ffaeorge IV, set in the center of valuable Epearls. At the back in the same position, is another but smaller sapphire. The sides" are adorned with three sap- phires, and between these are eight emer- alds. Above and below the sapphire, ex- tending all around the crown, are placed at intervals fourteen large diamond, the eight .emeralds being encircled by clusters of dia- monds 128 in number. Between the cemeraids and the sapphires are sixteen or- .naments, each consisting of eight diamonds. .Above a circular bend are eight sapphires, ,set separately, encircled by eight diamonds. Between each of these eight sapphires are .eight festoons of eighteen diamonds each. In front ofathe crown is a. diamond. Maltese .eross, in.the center of which glistens the • famous ruby given to Edward I, by Dom Pedro the cruel. This is the stone which adorned the helmet of Henry V, at the bat= tle of Agincourt. The center of the ruby is hollow and the space filled, in accordance. with the eastern -custom, with a smaller ruby. The Maltese cross is formed of seventyafive splendid dia- monds. At each of the sides and at the back is a Maltese cross with %Imerald cen- tres, 3ontaining, respectively, 132, 124 and 130 sparkling diamonds. Level with the four Maltese crosses, and stationed between them, are four orna- .ments shaped like the ileur de lis, with four rubies in the center, and surrounded by diamonds, containing eighty-five, eighty- six, and eighty-seven diamonds. From the Maltese crosses spring four imperial arches, composed of oak leaves and diamonds. The leaves are formed of 728 diamonds; thirty- two pearls represent the acorns and fifty- four diamonds the cups. From the upper part of the imperial arches hang suspended four largependeut-shaped pearls set in dia- mond etips,!each cup being farmed of twelve diamonds, the stems from each of the four haeging pearls being incrusted .vith twenty- four diamonds. Love the arch is the mount, which is made of 438 diamonds. The zene and arch are representative of the throne. Over the throne is a cross, which has for its centre a rose .cup sapphire set in the centre of fourteen large diamonds. Altogether the crown corn - prizes one large ruby, one large sapphire, twenty-six smaller sapphires, eleven emer- alds, four rubies, 1,363 brilliants, 1,273 rose diamonds, four pendent -shaped pearls and :273 mailer pearls.

The attention of the Post, has lately been frequently called to at l'emarkable _mire in the ease of a young gid living within. a fey," miles of this town,whose life was desp ired of, but who was eotnpletely cured Ina hort space of time by the most wonderful 4f alt remedies, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. S'ince reading in almost every issue of the Post of the. cures effected by the use of this Medi- cine, we felt it be a duty we oWed to inves- tigate this case, which has so urgently been brought to our notice, and we are sure the interview will be read 'with interest by the thousands of young girls all over Canada, as well as by the parents of such intereeted patients. The 'youna lady.in question is not anxious for notoriety, but is willing to make her case known in order that "others Advice to Newly Married - 1 asked a clever, well known doctor only to -day what advice he would give the new- ly married. "1 would tell the woman," he said, "never to let her husband think he ' had quite won her, that there was not still something held in reserve to give him. A woman never seems to think she ought to be fascinating to her husband after marriage." ' He lectured the woman, of course. There is a. universal tendency in mankind to do this. Vet, another doctor I knew °nee said in my hearing that he believed from all he had seen that the happiuess of marriage depended primarily upon the man. Were he worth anything, the peace of the house- hold was assured. Letters to the newly ma Tried, then, a should be addressed to both. There is much that might be said. First of all, that neither take the devotion of the other for granted, making no effort to cultivate or retain what each felt, to be a due.

The ka.kochnik with the pavonik, which aris- tonratio nursemaids still wear in St. Pe- tersburg and Moscow, is the only part of the great Russian costume borrowed for the national dress. It is of red velvet like the tunic and covered with jewels. To it I s attached a long white veil of tulle, which siveeps behind in the gilded folds of the train. This splendor lasts only for a time, how- ever. After a few years the maid of honor "with the cipher" is promoted to a maid of honor "with the portrait," and ex- changes the rich crimson overskirt for one more quiet, of emerald green, embroidered in silver. To make up for it the czarina allows the substitution of her portrait set In diamonds for the monograms. Some- times also they receive the decoration of St Catherine, an order eetablished by Pe- ter the Great for Women only, as a recom- pense for services done to the court. As tb general rule it is from among the daughters of general officers or high func- tionaries that the empress picks out her naaids at her own pleasure. There are sev- eral institutions in Russia for the ed-uca- tion of these girls, resembling somewhat the schools of the Legion of Honor in France. The classes for the older girls are called nurseries. The pupils are there 'taught etiquette and the faultless manners On which their future depends. Their cos- tume is a simple woolen di*ss, with a silk- en apron.

The chicken is devoted to her -mistress, and is always near her when she is working in her studio. It ie a eurieus sight to .ece the artist and her ehittken together. When the mistress leaven her chair to walk about the studio he chicken follows her about like a little dog. ‘Vhen she returns to her place in front of her canvae the bird jumps into hr lap, ant I remains I here while she is working.

When coffee is served the bird is perch- ed upon the bed near its mistress' caressing hand. At luncheon the chicken has a dial" beeide the artist, and is fed by her. The bird has a, singular diet for a chicken. It is roast beef and milk.
