•St. Petersburg society is brilliant
not only by reason of the diamonds
«nd beauty of its women, but also
owing to the splendid uniforms and
blazing decorations of its men. The
ladies wear such diamonds as are
only seen at exhibitions or in the
windows of a fashionable jeweler,
rI he diamonds of St. Petersburg arc
famous, for not only do they fre
quently measure half an inch across,
but their diameter is as frequently
the same. Your representative was
dazzled by a succession of solid
precious stones whose weight could
only be reckoned in avoirdupois.
The jewels one sees at Covent
Garden are slim and puny baubles
by comparison. St. Petersburg

A boy was sitting near th e stove
watching the fire burn. All at once
lie fancied th a t he heard a voice
speak to him, and he thought it was
a piece of wood. The wood said:
“ Once upon a time I was a seed th at
had fallen off a tree. I lay on the
ground a week. Then some clouds
spread over the sky and it began to
snow The snow covered me, and I
lay on the ground all w ipter in. the
warm snow. When sp rin g cam e I
began to grow. I grew u n til I watt
fifteen years old. One day a wood
c u tte r came along and c u t ino dow n.
Tie p u t me in to a w agon and rodo
down to th e wood yard. I lay in tho
wood yard ab o u t a m o n th , an d th en

your house.” T h is was all th e pieco
of wood said.
