Tho Gems of the Past.

The most famous extant gems are per-
haps the Comma Augustea in Vienna, a
sardonyx nearly quarter of yard long,
on which the triumph of Augustus is cut
in the rarest workmanship by Dioscor-
ides of Rome. There are magnificently
cut antique amethysts, though rock crys-
tai was, and is, mainly used for vases and
cups. saw beautiful modern vase at
Oberstein in the shape OF she'll twelve
or fourteen inches long-chiehy, how
ever, filling me with regret for tho van
ished beauty of the one perfect crystal
out of which it had been cut. Tho man
asked 85 for it. A much larger cameo
than the Comma Augustea was lost in
the storm of the Tuilerics in 1913. About
the largest extant gem--a sardonyx
worked in five layers and representing
Tiberius and Livia aud various other per-
sonages-therc is an odd story. 1t Is
called La Cameo dc 10 Sainte Cnapelle,
and was given to st. Louis of France,
who set it up in the Ste. Chapcllo as a
representation of Joseph's dream.

WAXING FLOORS.

All preparations for waxing floors aro
heated by setting the kettle containing
tho mixture into another containing boil
ing water. BY this means the bceswax
becomes Incorporated with tho turpcn-
tine aud other Ingredients. No ioor
will be "sticky" if the wax is properly
rubbed in. The best article for rubbing
in oil or wax is parquct brush, such as
are sold by manufacturers of parquet
floors and at largo house furnishing
stores. These brushes arc furnished with
long handles and have hcavy-weightcd
backs of solid iron. They cost So but
will last Lifetime. They arc moved
back and forth on the floor like mon.
1t requires considerable strength to use
even the small Cor $5) size, but it is less
laborious to rub in wax or oil by this
means than by hand. 1t does not require
SO much rubbing to get IN oiled floor
into proper condition for use as waxcd
one. Unless tho surface of the floor in
either case is thoroughly polished, smooth
and glossy, residue of oil or wax will
be found on the surface, which will catch
the dust and make the floor unfit for use.

An 1879 Naval Baltic.

August Ii, 1918, the American sloop-
of-war Argus, Captain Allen, hauled
down her flag in the British Channel to
the Pelican, Captain Naples. The six
sloops launched in '13 were tho WASH.
Peacock, Erie, Ontario and the Argus.
June ID, 1918, the Argus sailed from
New York with Mr.. Crawford, then re-
Gently appointed Minister to France, on.
board; mud after II passage of twenty
three days she arrived at rOricnt About
the middle of July tho Argus sailed from
pOrent on cruise, aud her exploits on
the British coast for tho next few weeks
recall those of Jones, Wicics and Con-
yngham during the Revolution. Captain
Allen kept his brig for some time in the
chops of the English Channel, then went
round the Lands End and shifted his
cruising ground to the Irish Channel. he
captured twenty sail of merchantmen,
most of whom he destroyed, inflictiug
damage to the extent of 100000 On
August 13 he had just SGT fro to n prize
from Oporto to British port when tho
Pelican was seen standing down. She
mounted sixteen thirty-two pound car
ronades, four long guns, aud one twelve
pound carronade. The armament of the
Argus, by crowding guns into the bridle
ports, was eighteen twenty. four pound
carronades aud two chase guns. Tho
enemy was 80 much heavier that it may
be doubted whether the Argus could
have captured her antagonist under any
ordinary circumstances. Within four
minutes after the commencement of tho
action Captain Allen was MORALLY
wounded by round shot carrying off a
leg. He refused to be taken below, but
fainting from tho loss of blood he was
carried off the deck four minutes later.
Four minutes more, and Mr.. Watson, the
first lieutenant, was severely wounded in
the head by grape shot, which stunned
him, and he also was taken below. But
one lieutenant remained, Mr.. w. II. Allen
(of the Same name with tho Captain, but
no relativc), who continued to fight the
brig in very gallant manner. In twenty
five minutes from the beginning of the
action the whcelropes and nearly all tho
running rigging being gone, the Argus
became unmanageable. For tho next
twenty-five minutes the enemy was able
to take up his position ut pleasure, throw.
ing in raking or cross fire. At the end
of that time the colors were ordered to
be hauled down. Captain w. H. Allen,
her commander, was born at Providence,
r. l., and was the son of Major William
Allen of the Revolutionary army and his
wife, sister of Governor Jones of that
State.-MU York San.

rou1rloE MAKING is AN ART.

To make poulticc according to ccle-
brated medical authority is quito IN art.
This is what he says on tho subject: Tho
common practice in making poulticcs of
mixing the linseed meal with hot water
and applying it directly to the skin is
quito wrong, because if we do not wish
to burn the patient We must wait until n
great portion of the heat has been lost.
The proper method is to take flannel
bag-thc size of the poultico required
to fill this with linsccd poulticc rs hot MS 1t
can be made and to put between this and
the skin second piece of flannel so that
there shall be Mt least two thicknesses of
flannel between the skin and the poulticc
itself. Above the poulticc should be
placed more flannel or cottonwood to
keep it from getting cold. BY this
method we are able to apply the linseed
meal boiling hot without burning tho pa
tient, and the heat, gradually diffusing
through tho flannel, affords grateful
sense of relief which cannot DO obtained
by other means. There arc few WAYS
in which such marked relief is given to
abdominal pain as by the application of
q poultice in this manner.-Neu York

An Experience with Electricity.

A Kansas City gentleman, Edward e.
Wilson, who Subsequently guest of tho
Fifth Avenue Hotel in Now York, told
me here that he had been following,
Reminders case with deep interest, be-
cause of nn experience of his own in
which friend was killed by lightning.
The incident occurred in July, 1882, in
thunder storm on the prairie. The thun
derbolt struck his friend on top of the
head as he was riding on horseback aud
passed downward to the earth, killing
him instantly, as well as his horse. His
hat was burned SO that il fell to pieces.
The electricity separated on top of his
head and passed down on either side,
meeting again at the neck, which was
dislocated, one current being stronger
than the other. In leaving the body tho
fluid tore q hole in its victims trousers
at tho knee of one leg, and tore hole
through the boot on tho other leg. The
collar buttons at tho neck of his shirt
were fused into shapcless mass of mctal.
a gauze undershirt was literally burned
to ashes--tine powder. A two thousand
dollar diamond shirt pin was also de-
stroyed, tho setting being reduced to a
mass of shapcless metal, and the only re-
minder OF the diamond being black
streak of carbon on the shirt front.
5"My friends face began to get black
shortly after he was killed, said Mr..
Wilson. "Then the body followed suit.
It also swclled, so that it filed the cof-
FIN, and VIC could not let even his friends
look On tho dead man, had been cx-
pecting that Reminders body would show
similar marks of the burning and scorch-
ing of the electric fluid, and was not dis
appointed. I don't believe this ago Is

MORRIS OF WISDOM.

Tho heart acts promptly reason slowly.
Tranquility is tho synonym of power.
Tho price of knowledge is discnchant-
ment.
It is at the inception of OWL that We
should halt. z
Credulity, like kittens, arc born blind !
but, unlike them, it mover gets its eyes
open.
Even in tho house of Innocent de-
light there is hidden tho skeleton of
safety.
a rich man lives under microscope,
which cxaggeratcs both his virtues and
his vices.
Don't descend to epuivocation; If you
must lie, do it like an accomplished
scoundrel.
Most falsehoods, like poorly lightco
fires, will go out of themselves if we
cease to blow them.
Necessities arc seasoned by natural de-.
sircs, but to enjoy luxuries we must force
the appetite. The latter demands find
sacrifices not expressed in the original
transfer.
Pursuit is an enduring pleasure, gilded
by hope; possession is but brief disap-
poin -ment. When we capture the gaudy
butterfly it is found that wo have crushed
out its beauty.

GaYe Up His Life for his Dog.

a remarkable suicide has Just como to
light in Admission, Ala. Nearly two
months ago, Robert s. Edwards, young
man about eighteen years of age, and the
nof Mr.. o. E. Edwards, prominent
citizen, and Secretary and Treasurer of
the Admission Street Railway Company,
came home from school.
His leaving school was at the sugges-
ton of the President of the institution
to the father of the young man, giving
ITees 9. reason that he was SO fond of his dog
md gun that nc SSsiss making no progress
in his studies. Upon his arrival his 1fttIiiels
gave him firm but kind talk with the
view of inspiring him with laudablc
ambition to be q man, and make for him
self q worthy character in the world, and
ended by telling him he must give up his
gun and dog. The young man had been
heard to say before he would part with
his dog, he would kill himself, but no
ono attached any Importance to the re-
mark.
After his father had ceased talking to
him he went to his room and got his gun
and large splendid setter dog, and went
out toward the mountain.
When he failed to return his father be-
came uneasy, and diigent search was
made for him in the vicinity and else
where, but no trace could be found of
the missing youth until Thursday night,
when his dead body, the body of his
faithful dog and his fine breech-loading
shotgun were found on the mountain,
about one mile from the city, among tho
rocks, the scrubby oaks and the mount
ain flowers. The indications were that
he killed his dog and then reloaded his
gun and shot himself, shattering his head
to pieces.
He left sealed letter to his father and
S15 carefully put away in the lining of
his hat, and the hat put under an oak tree
in manner to protect the contents from
the weather. His father and mother
were at Blowing Rock, N. c., spending
the summer, and were notified by tele-
gram of the finding of the body of their
son.-Nelo Orleans Times Democrat.
