Yet because there is nd undertone of city noises in which occa sional noises may merge the Gratad canal at Venice seems to the sleeper at night the noisiest place in the world, for every little noise crashes into one’s sleep, and the most wakeful hours of our six weeks in Italy were spent on the Grand canal in Venice.

Before the French revolution the government established warehouses at which the inhabitants were compelled to purchase their stores of salt. These warehouses were numerous in some provinces and few in others; but, whether sufficient or insufficient for the needs of the population, they were often situated at a considerable dis tance from the towns and villages, whose inhabitants had to trudge miles along bad roads to buy their salt. But this was not all. It was pre scribed by law that the head of every family must lay in his stock of salt not at such times as might suit his own convenience,. but on one stated day in the year. Should he fail in this ob servance he was fined, and he was also fined if he purchased a smaller quan tity than the law prescribed. His hardships did not stop even there. On making his annual purchase he had to state the different purposes for which he intended to use the salt during the ensuing year, and in ‘ the event of his being discovered salting his soup instead of his pork according to his statement or his pork instead of his soup on the day he had named he was also liable to a fine. His kitchen was never secure from the intrusion of the inspecting officer, and woe to thé housewife who was detected in any petty infraction of this law. Elizabeth of England purchased the famous Sanci diamond when De Sanci, extravagant and splendid, was low in purse. When Charles became king and sent Buckingham to Paris to bring back his bride, Henrietta, the messen ger wore the Sanci. Charles quarreled with his queen, Henrietta, and. with his parliament, and not long afterward Cromwell asked for his head. Henri etta gave the diamond to the Earl of Worcester. Worcester probably gave it back to the Stuarts, for whom he ruined himself, for it .¿descended to James II. James’ disastrous reign cost I him the crown, but he kept the Sanci. That and other jewels which he took away with him supported various Stu art pretenders. This particular one was sold to Louis XIV. of France for $125,- 000. Stolen with other jewels in 1792, the Sanci disappeared for thirty-six years. A jeweler came by it, and Prince Dem idoff purchased it for his wife. Twen ty years later she let it go to Jamset- jee Jeejeeboy, a rich merchant of Bom bay. Again it appeared at a Paris jeweler’s shop and was sold to the maharajah of Puttilala. He, too, came upon hard times. It was from a Lon don jeweler that William Waldorf As tor bought it for his son’s bride.— Franklin Clarkin in Everybody’s Mag azine.
