TWO PICTURES.
durham GlCbe1

Here are two pictures. Look at
them. They will not hurt your eyes.
One of them will cause you to rejoice.
And one of them will cause you to
sorrow. In Nebraska to-day, the
Governor of that State is presiding at
a public meeting called for the pur-
pose OF raising money to send to the
farmers in the western part of the
State, who are suffering. Suffering
with cold and hunger. And who are
those farmers? They are sturdy and
honest sons of toll, men who went to
that od-forsaken and drouth- burned
country with money and their families,
went there on the misrepresentation
of railways and land agents. They
fell into the chattle mortgage mans
hands-poyerty drove them in this
path, and to-day these men are asking
aims. Nebraska has 100000 peo-
pie. Over million, and thousands
of them are almost starving. They
cannot get away; they have every
thing-their little household goods
there, and the mortgage fend has a
clutch upon the cEattles and upon the
throats who once owned them.
Another picture in North Carolina!
Under Southern skies a climate
not approached in the United States !;
warehouse floors groaning with to-
bacco; farmers prosperous, happy,
contented wheels buzzing and fur
naces glowing long Saturday night
pay rolls and ample money to pay
them and to spare-and yet idiots see
politics in the way of coming to this
heaven-blessed country. If the truth
were only known if we could i'm
press upon the home seekers mind the
advantages to be found here, this
State would double in less than twelve
months time.

land for the crime Of insulting by kiss a
servant girl, aged 29, whom he met on the
highway. Being convicted, he was SEN
fenced to six weeks imprisonment at hard

so much comment in the newspapers that
the government interfered and ordered the
release of the boy after he had served but
ten days Of his term.
The sentence undoubtedly was severe,

What Is aPrectOus StOne-WhRt 81 GEM
What is a precious stonei Mr. George
f. Kunz in his valuable book ON Gems and
Precious Stones OF North America says in
reply to this query: Beauty of color, hard
ness and rarity are the essential qualities
which entitle mineral to be called pre-
cious." Strictly speaking the only precious
stones are the diamond, ruby, sapphire and
emeral, though the term is often extended
to the opal, notwithstanding its lack of
hardness, and to the pearl, which is,
strictly speaking not a mineral, but an
animal product.
A gem, he continues, is popularity a
precious or semi-precious stone, especially
when cut or polished for ornamental pur-
poses. Originally the term designates a
class of minerals hard enough to scratch
quartz without metallic luster but geper-
ally brilliant and beautiful, and includes
the semi precious or fancy stones, such as
the chryso beryls, alexandrites, tourma-
lines, spinels and topaz. Arthaeologically
the term is restricted to engraved stones,
such as intaglios and canoes. The term
jewel is applied to gem only after it has
been mounted.
