It Is made of a peculiar wood, originally very light In < but darkened exceedingly by age. The quaint old carvings on the front on the Inside of the cover, the t wrought massive Iron hinges and dies, the cumbersome lock and huge keys are eloquent testimony of Its age.

The carvings on inner side of the lid represent scenes, one of Sir Walter Raleigh spreading his cloak before Queen Elizabeth, the other of a gay ph jarty In boats among small Islands, with a tnrreted castle In the back ground. Between the two scenes Is i coal-of-arms. The shield has either i cross or lines to make four quartet

The tradition that this chest, with the tablecloth embroidered In tower and other valuable gifts, given by Queen Elizabeth to Lady Margaret Willoughby is so well thenticated as to seem beyond dispi At any rate the tablecloth came do through the Wllloughbys to the Ray monds with the chest, and the clol at least, was the gift of the queen Lady Margaret, for English history clear on this point The Raymonds. Lyndes and Griswolds of New England, nnmbertni now several thousands trace their an 0- stry back to Co! William Willoughby, who was commissioner of British navy from 1648 to 1851. ' he died. His son. Francis Willoughby, came to New England In 1638, and returned to England In 1651. In 1652 he was appointed successor of bis father as commissioner of the navy-, and 1658 was chosen member of parliament for Portsmouth, in 1662 he turned to New England, and became deputy governor of the Massachusetts colony in 1665. continuing in ~ until he died In 1675The first or the Raymonds ti the colonies was William, who over from Kent "with other stewards and 40 servants." for the "Company of 1- acooia." formed to trade and fish on the grant given to CapL John Mason, a London merchant, comprising part of what Is now New Hampshire. He came to Little Harbor (now Portsmouth. N. H-). in 1630, and remained but a short time. The first real settler and head of one of the most prolific branches of the family in New England was Richard Raymond, who In 1636 received a grant of land on what Is now Winter Island In Salem harbor. He Is described In the records as a mariner and part owner of the ketch Hopewell of Salem. He afterward removed to Norwich. Conn., and In 1664 to Saybrook. where he w.-s engaged in trade with the English and Dutch settlers on Manhattan. The great chest, which had come Into the Raymond family by marriage with the Willoughby*, was brought from Block Isis id to New London In 1704 by Mrs. Me • f Raymond, widow of Joshna. w'r.c .vas a grandson of Richard It »a ihen known both aa the "great Wjllujrfcby chest' the "Elizabeth cheat."

MISS MIRIAM EDWINA. (She Is Raffling Herself to Get Money for Course In Music.) Cupid's bow mouth and other marks 'hlch merited attention. Furthermore, she carried Into Wall street a scheme which made even •nterprlsiug ones of the stock change sit up and lake notice. The young woman U Miss Miriam Edwlna. and she Is raffling herselt off money to obtain a musical e<' u She has 350 chances, and they range In price from one dollar to

Miss Edwlna has a filgh soprano ilce and grand opera Is her aim. iys she has heard of all kinds o fling schemes for making money, and lie certainly wants to aocum -nough to take her to Italy. "I have boon trying to earn enough money to complete my musical education. but It seems that It Is impossible. My lather, who was once a United States consul In Cuba, died three years ago. and I have had to support self. I tried stenography, and that Is how I earned money to study music for a while. Then I went on the stage. York four years, but 1 want two years abroad. Of course, that Is necessary for anyone who has grand opera asEach ticket Is numbered and put In a sealed envelope. When the man draws the envelope he. of course, has no Idea of the price he must pay for 1L The number on the ticket represents the price be must pay. Already Miss Edwlna has sold ten shares or chances, the largest number drawn so far being 210. for which a well-known and wealthy New Yorker paid *210. if Miss Edwlna sells all her chances she will have the tidy little sum of *61.425, which ought to help some toward a musical education. "As you see in the agreement, matrimony Is the reward for the lucky ticket—only If all Interests are mutual." said Miss Edwlna. The raffle will take place In some hall, and I :end giving a (oncert first and letting people bear me sing."

Its Benefits Not as a Rule Sufficiently Understood by Women—How to Got Rid of Nervous Dizziness. If women only realized how mucl they might Improve themselves by Judicious and specific forms of exercise, promoting not only bodily symmetry, but correcting Various bodily disorders. 1 am sure they would* give the subject serious (bought end study writes Mile. Adrienne in the Los An geles Herald. Women would not only save doctor’s bills, but would add materially to their physical health and charms. Well directed exercise promotes bodily symmetry by developing the muscle structures, and Increasing the circulation and aeration of the blood. A woman should always enter upon s systematic course with a comprehensive Ides of Just what she requires and how the same may be accomp-

lished.

In order to gain any benefit from a special exercise a woman must be patient and persistent In her efforts. This means of Improving your health does not require much time In the morning before dressing, and at night after disrobing, and let me say that five minutes regularly given at these times each day. Is more valuable than an hour or two several times a wi at a gymnasium. It Is the little work day by day that accomplishes the real good, whereas something Is lost during the longer Intervals. A good exercise Is circling the boto about the hips. The trunk is turned only on the hips and describes s wide circle from left to right, then from right to left.

If you are troubled by nervous dizxlness this exercise will help you. for by It you will get used to turning yonr head In a circle. If this Is hard to do first begin by performing It when yon are In a sitting position. You will then grow used to It by degrees. An excellent exercise for giving poise and symmetry to the whole body Is that of standing erect with the chest thrown ont. extending the arms horizontally to their full extent and while holding the arms In this position. twist the hands upon the wrists. Many exercises have been devised for lengthening the waist and rendering the body pliant and supple, but the following one will not only exercise the muscles of the trunk, hot brings those of the rest of the body

Into fine play.

I have given the first snd Iasi position of the exercise. The first post Uon Is to place the hands back to back, while the arms hang loosely in front, then the arms should be grade ally raised to the second position bringing the hands in front of the chest, at the same time gradually rise upon the feet. Then spreading, raising and straightening the arms, bringing the hands above the bead, with the finger Ups touching closely to gether. At the same time rise stl)> further on the feet until standing as much on the toes as Is possible and still maintain your balance. This exercise gives a wonderful grace anc suppleness to the whole figure snd Is easily done with a little practice.

How numerous these households were can be surmised from the fact that Abraham could muster 318 armed men to rescue Lot (Oen. 14:14); Isaac was mightier than some of the neighboring kings (Gen. 26:16); Esau and Jacob had to separate bemse their followers were so numeris (Gen. 36:6. 7).

The Reasons for Removal.—"There was need for Jacob's family being moved from Canaan, as some of them were becoming much tainted with the Idolatry and pollution prevalent there. In Egypt, on the whole, life was purer. Then there was a risk of^ihelr gmslgamatlng by marriage with the doomed Canaanltes; but the. Egyptian! so different a race that there ' such risk with them. To be among the Egyptians wonld also be a benefit them lg other ways, for they would learn much from a people so skilled In all the arts of life and so superior civilisation."—Blalklc.

Out of tbe solid rock at Ipsambul he hewed two spacious subterranean temples, and set at their doors four human figures feet high.

Canals were dug and cities were built"—Prof. E. P. Humphrey. The Climax of Cruelty.—Ex. 1:15-32. When Pharaoh fouqd the Israelite* flourishing even under this terrible oppression. he resorted to measure more severe, ordering the destruction of their male Infants as soon as they were born. Tbe females wonld be harmless, snd would prove valuable slaves. “A similar policy was pursued by tbe Lacedemonians toward the helots, by Mlthridates toward his Roman subjects, and by the Caliph. Hakem, toward the Egyptians."—F. Johnson. When tbe official midwives evaded the king's command, “by a refinement of cruelty to which the Herod Of the future was not equal, he required parents to execute the sentence of death on their own children."— Humphrey.
