Denmark’s Remarkable Jewels.

Tho most remarkable crown Jewels and sllverwuro are to be found in Denmark, a country not generally regarded as exceptionally wealthy. They are the result of 300 years’ collection and resemble nothing that can be seen anywhere olso. Part of the throne itself consists of three solid silver Hons, lifesize, und in tbo chancel of the royal ohupel there are solid silver statues of tbo twelve apostles. There Is also an equestrian statue in solid silver of King Christian IX., mounted rn horsebaok, with groups on tho representing tho various arts and industries which go to make Denmark prosperous. The country has been reduced in area and importance by various wars, but tho royal dignity has remained unimpaired and is in muny respects greater than that of monarchs of very muoh larger countries.
