A young American lady who has
not very long been married. was in
yited to the first state ball in Lon
don. some weeks ago, her mother-in-
law being invited to the second. As
the date of the first ball drew near
the younger lady was so far from well
that the elder lady called upon the
lord chamberlain to ask il the invi-
tations might be reversed, SO that
the younger might have a better
chance Of recovery. quite impos-

Grain and Grass for Hogs.

The old time way Of raising hogs
in the West was to feed them on
grain from start to finish. 1.-THE
hog must be fed with scoop shovel"
and "the hog must be fed with the
cream OF the farm" were notices a
number of years ago among farmers
OF the West, and in certain sections
are notices still. Then came the
gospel of grass and the hog pasture
The farmers were not long in discov-
ering that a bushel of corn fed on
good clover or blue grass pasture
went much farther than bushel fed
in dry pen. The next idea, why
not feed the hog altogether on grass?
Simply because the hog is not built
that way. The stomach Is not large
enough to enable it to utilize enough
coarse feed to make a profitable
growth. Give the hog time enough
and select grazing type and it can
be done, but the time involved, to-
gether with the risk from disease
and the interest on the investment,
render it Improbable in the grass
and corn states of the West How
much of the frame should be made
on grass and how much on grain to
secure the greatest profit depends
very much on conditions and circum-
stances. The point that we wish to
emphasize is that the hog can not be
grown proftably on grain alone nor
under ordinary Western condition on
grass alone; that it is not grain or
grass, but grain on grass that brings
the profit -HOmcstead.

by amazing flashes Of the incompre-

Premature Wrinkles,

AMONG THE GEMS.

The emerald is now one of the rarest Of
precious stones.
Very few rubies, red sapphires, exceed
i've carats in weight.
The most beautiful carnelians are
found in Arabia and India.
The Amazon stone is pure feldspar, first
found on the Amazon, now In many 9th.
er places.
Carnelian is greatly improved by ex-
posure to the sun and then heating in
earthen pots.
The diamond has been found on all the
continents and in almost every country
on the globe.
The pearl is the only gem that does
not require the lapidary's art to bring
out its beauty.
The diamond is not among the earliest
gems known to man. 1t has not been
found in the ruins Of Nineveh, in the
Etruscan sepulchers nor in the tombs of
the Phenicians.
The finest opal Of modern times be-
longed to Empress Josephine. 1t was
called "The Burning Of Troy" Its fate
10 unknown, as it disappeared when the
allies entered Paris.
Tiger eye is peculiar capitalization
OF quartz, formerly very rare and costly.
Large deposits have been found in the
western states and in South Africa, SO
that many common articles are now
made Of it.
The Golconda mines are now exhaust
ed. AT one time 10000 men were en-
ployed in them. When the Sultan Nah
moud, who reigned 1177-12O6, died, he
left In his treasury over 400 pounds
weight Of gems from Golconda.
Yellow quartz or topaz resembles the
