Famous Pearls.

The most curious among famous pearls
is that which, three centuries ago, the
French traveller, Tarernier. sold to the
shah Of Persia for $4,000 It is still
in the possession Of the sovereign Of
Persia. Another Eastern potcntate owns
pearl Of IL! carats, which is quite
transparent. 1t is to be had for the sum
Of $3.50, coo. Princess Youssoupotf has
an Oriental pearl which is unique for the
beauty Of its color. In 1920 this pearl
was sold by Goorgibus, of Calais, to
Philip ". of Spain at the price of 80
600 duCats. To-day it IS valued at 1925
900. Pope Leo XIII. owns pearl left
to him by his predecessor on the throne
OF At. Peter, which is worth 800. coo,
and the chain of thirty two pearls, owned
by the Empress Frederick. is estimated

HINTS TO CAREERS.

If there is any roe a part should be
placed on each plate.
A guest should say whether he pre-.
fers the roast rare or we'll done.
A piece of the back and under part of
salmon should go to each person.
Tongues must be cut very thin; tle
central portions are the choicest.
The results are in ratio with the skill
used, not the force expended.
The bead pieces of all fish are coz
sidered the most delicate aud desirable.
A haunch of vcnis0n should be
carved In slices down to the bone, from
the broad end upward.
A few drops of lemon juice and lit
tie pepper and salt improve the flavor of
mutton wonderfully.
Great care must be exercised in the
carving of fish to keep the flakes from
falling to pieces.
Have plenty of room upon the platter
aud in its vicinity; great many mis-
haps are thus prevented.
The sirloin of beef should be cut in
thin slices, portion Of the upper part
and the tenderioin going on each plate.

Tae Emperor of Germany has just
placed upon the wall of his study large
photograph of which he is very proud.
1t is portrait, half life size, of the
biggest and smallest soldier OF the Prus-
sian Army standing side by side. The
former Is Private Pritzchan, of the First
Regiment of the Prusslan Guard. He
stands six feet II inches in his boots,
and when he presented himself at Dus-
seldorf for examination special appa-
ratus had to be provided with which to
take his waist measure. His breadth IS
in proper proportion to his height. The
smallest soldier is the hereditary Prince.
The picture is unique one, showing
veritable giant, quite equal to any that
figure in "Grimm's Tales" or other
books of fables, and by his side soldier.

Next morning, of course, the fodder is
gone, and its place is filled with candies
and toys. Instead of ST. Nicholas, in
France the Christ Child himself comes,
with gifts for the children. In the
Alsatian villages, this character is per-
sonatcd by q young girl, who goes about
from house to house, ringing bell and
distributing gifts to the little ones.
The giving of presents has also been
pronounced of heather origin. More
than five centuries before the birth of
Christ, Scrvius Tulius instituted : at
Rome al annual festival to mark the be-
ginning OF the new year. Ga such al
occasion an altar was erected in each
village and upon it was placed box in
to which every man, Womln and child
was expected to drop coin, large or
small. From this, it may well be sup
posed, the Christmas box was evolved.

1t has been discovered within recent
years that bee -stiugs are good for rheu-
nlatism. Because it is difficult to utilize
the insects themselves for such medi-
clnal purpose, q surgical instrument has
been devised with reservoir in which
a small quantity of venom from the
poison glands OF bees is put, O dozen
needles ruucturing the skin siulultan-
eously aud introducing tee poison into
the circulation. Bee-keepers with ad-
Vaoced ideas haze entertained hope that
by careful breeding it might be possible
In the course of time to get rid of the
stings OF bees, which render them more
or less difficult to handle. However,
there is not the least prospect that this
will be accomplished. Bees differ very
much as to temperament, some varieties
being more irritable than others. The
Italian bees are comparatively amiable
and easy to deal with, and this is one
reason why they are at present the
greatest favorites among the severa!
races which have been imported from
abroad. It ia hardly necessary to remind
The reader that there were no bees in this

BY FRED MARINER SHIRLEY.


The German Emperor and I
Wi hin the self-same year were born,
Beneath the self-same sky,
Upon the self-same morn;
A Kaiser he, of high estate,
And the usual chance of fate.
His father was Prince, and mine
Why, just farmer-that is all.
Stars still are stars, although some shine
And some roll hid in midnight's pail;
Bat argue, cavil ali YOU can,
Ny sire was just as good man.
The German Emperor and I
Eat, drink and sleep the self-same way;
For bread is bread, and pie is pie,
And Kings can eat but thrice day,
And sleep will only come to those
Whose mouths and stomachs are not foes.
I rise at six and go to work,
And he at five, and does the same.
We both have cares we cannot shirk;
Mine are for lovod ones; his for fame.
He may live best, Icsnnot tell;
I'm sure wish the Kaiser well.
I have wife, and so has he;
And yet if pictures do not err,
As far as human sight can see
Mine is by long odds twice as fair.
Say, would trade those eyes, dark brown2
Not for an Empress and her crown.
And 80 the Emperor and
On this one point could meier agree;
Moreover, he will never try,
His frau suits him and mine suits me.
And though his sons some day may rule.
Mine stand Al in public school.
So let the Kaiser have his sway,
Bid kings and nations tumble down,
have my freedom and my say,
And fear no ruler and his crown:
For I, unknown to fame or war,
Live where each man is Emperor.

WISE WORDS.

Posterity is pack horse, ever really
to be loaded
If you set up for @ GROWER you can
always be busy.
The right kind of smile never hurts
prayer meeting.
Every man is fierce in lis thoughts and
mild in his actions.
Bread is the staff of life, aud pie is
the stumbling block.
Kindness has reslstlesz charms. All
things else but weakly move.
The man who loves his neighbor az
himself never keeps bulldog.
The greatest truths are the simplest;
so, likewise, are the greatest men.
A man cannot appreciate clean con-
science until after he has guilty one.
It IS SO easy to resolve to be moro pa
tient with the faults of children when
they are sound asleep in bed.
The young man who wants to be a
social favorite should let it be rumorel
about that he is looking for wife.
There is so much of the fool 10 every
man that it is pretty apt to crop out in
some way. You laugh at another mans
folly and he laughs at yours.
Every woman wishes she knew some
one as good as she is, and every man
occasionally signs because he doesn't
know any one who is as bad as he is.
A man who is making money never
runs away. It seems to be the rule that
no matter how much man thinks of a
woman, he will never run away with her
if he has to give up JOB with money in
it.

Eat Food Slowly.

Eat all food slowly. Digestion will
not begin till the temperature of the food
has been raised by the heat of the stom-
ach to 90 degrees. Hence the more
heat that can be impaired to it by
slow mastication the better. The rre-
clpltation of large quantity of cold
food into the stomach by fast eating may
and often does, cause discomfort and in.
digestion, and every occasion of this
kind results in measurable injury to the
digestive functions. Ice water drunk
with cold food of course increases the
mischief. Hot drinks-hot water, weak
tea, coffee, chocolate, &c.-will, on the
contrary, help to prevent it. But eat
slowly, anyway.

The uncertainty that amses in the minds
OF Government employees naturally causes
them to spend money less freely, and this
might affect business perceptibly for a
short time in various channels. But as
more than an Offset to this may be con-
sidered the fact that the de;ire of the

employment swells the active local pop.

Bast DOGS for Guarding Home,

The best breed of dogs FOR guarding
the family Or home is often matter Of
important consideration. Nearly every
one believes that a guard dog must be
large and powerful, and many people
believe that in addition they should be
vicious. About ninety per cent. OF
large dogs, particularly mastiffs and St.
Bernards, are cripples. Their hind legs
arc weak, uniformed, and imperfectly
dcve!o ped, the malfornation cal:el "cow-
hocNs' being common. Large dogs art
sluggish by nature and dearly like coy
corner in which to sleep away the hours
not occupied in eating. Often when
we'll fed and coatented large dogs are per.
fcctIy indifferent to what is happening.
A stranger, ragged OF we'll dressed, can
pass them uuaoticed. From imperfect
legs and feet, the imperiectlon being
aggravated by their excessive Incidence,
large dogs, speaking generally, are poor
runners and worse fighters. Beautiful
dogs of large size are priced chiefly as
ornaments to a home, although their
value in this respect is governed by
fashion, and hence is variable. The true
mission Of the watch dog is to sound the
alarm. The small dog is ever active ana
alert. It is most difficult for stranger
to approach home where there is fox
terrier without arousing the latter into
activity. lie sounds the alarm by loud
barking aud will fight desperately and
effectively if the OCCASION so requires.
Night increases his vigilance Black and
tan terriers are very keen watch dogs; in
fact, oil the small breeds are bright and
alert, although some of the sman.toy
breeds are too tender in constitution to
stand any exposure even in sunme,

HAVE A SWINGING SuEI.E.

Every cellar in house, whether it be
large Or small, should contain swing
ing shelf stoutly held by supports at the
four corners, which are nailed to tho
floor joists above. This must be three
feet wide and eight feet long, but strong.
ly fastened, as it will be generally
weighted down heavily WITH jars of fruit
and other things that the housekeeper
will find it most convenient for A very
good addition to this swinging shelf is q
cupboard closed with door, into which
can be put cans of preserved fruit and
those things which keep better in the
darkness. Besides this swinging shelf,
what might be called wine cupboard is
Of the greatest convenience. This is
a double swinging shelf. On one side
have fame doors hanging to swing out
ward; cover the back and the doors
with wire fly netting which is galvanized.
This will not rust and will last many
years. If the housewife is not able to
go to the expense of having wire net
ting, mosketo netting will do, but it
will have to be renewed frequently. This
cupboard should be from five to six feet
long aud one aud half wide. Those
things that cannot be kept without mold
ing or souriag in the kitchen pantry will
keep we'll in this place secure from flies.
At first thought many housekeepers will
feel that they can get along without
these places; and so they can if they
have ample room in cool cellar closets or
in large refrigerators to set everything
away that has been left over upon the
table; but otherwise the conven eaco
will be found far greater than the cost.

Steaks may be taken from either the loin

Venlson steaks will not please an cpl.
