Precisely. If Miss Bell refuses, we

means of warning Miss Bell to delay the

Apropos of jewels. the handsomest in
Washington is the collection owned by
Mrs. Leland Stanford. wife of the mil
lionaire senator from California. Her
diamonds are second only in value to the
Russian and English crown jewels. They
are of all tints-one pink, another vel
low, one blue, besides the pure white
stones, and the aggregate value is esti-
mated as being over 5000. 900. In
Mrs. Stanford's safe of steel, with time
proof burglar locks. which, as she sell
dom wears her jewels, is kept at a safe
deposit company, are so diamond rings,
each worth about 500. She cares for
no other stones, so there are only dia-
monds in her collection.-Washing

In the oldeI times in Japan all the dali

great sport with falcons, as they went
out to the field to catch other birds with
falcons. The falcons were tanned well
and used to catch large birds, mostly
cranes. When people now go out hunt
ing with falcons, the men in charge hold
the falcons upon their fingers. As soon
as one sees any bird he let's the falcon
rush at the bird; as soon as the falcon
reaches the bird he bites at the throat
and throws the bird down 10 the grouud.
Meanwhile the holder RVS to the place
where they are and catc..es both of them.
Falcons are not large birds, but as they
belong to the eagle family they are
strong and brave and never afraid to go
at any bird to kill it, but the men in

care in feeding and tanning them.-Chi-

Disrobed In the Street.

There is young colored damsel in
Washington whose soul is at present
filed with wrath because of the sum-
mary action taken by society woman
to whom she had been handmaiden.
With ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain the young woman proved her
self conversant by making away with
articles of value. Among these was q
silk dress of which her mistress had been
especially fond. Though accused of the
theft, the woman stoutly denied it and
took her dismissal, vehemcntly protesting
her innocence. Not long afterward. as
tho daughter of Ham was sailing down
the street in all the glory of the stolen
garment, she came upon her mistress
rapidly walking toward her with the
look of n great purpose in her eye.
Retreat was impossible, as was fail
ure to comply with the astonishing de-
mand that she then and there divest
herself of the gown. As the alternative
was to be Immediately handed over to
the police. the perturbed young woman
did as she was bid with all speed posi-

projections exposed to public view while

tress walked away, bearing in triumph

Grains wrought OF gold in n silver fold

And its harvest came to the wandering tribes

Star sapphires are generally of a gray
ish blue tint, and the star is exhibited in
its greatest perfection when looked at by
the light of the sun or candle. The
sapphire is found of all tints and shades
of blue, but the color which approx
mates to the shade formerly called "bleu
du roi" is the most valuable. A really
fine sapphire should appear blue by arti-
fetal light as we'll as by day. This stone
is found in crystals generally of much
larger size than the ruby. The name
sapphire is perhaps the only one which

slight alteration-the Hebrew name

Let us not vigorously crowd the Indi-

this is done before they are ready for it,
they will surely lapse into degradation.
Let them remain in compact bodies on
reservations to help one another over the

mingle and compete with the white race
in a struggle in which they must be hope

instruction teach them the value of our
property laws. Do not force citizenship
upon them, but let them sue for it. We
should hold ourselves ever ready to grant
it, but let them first discover its benefits.
