SCARCITY OF EMERALDS.
Caused by the Decrease In Production
the Ural Mountains.

Caused by the Decrease In Production In
tho Ural Mountains.
Emeralds are said to be steadily dis
appearing. In the sos and COS emer-
aids were the favorite jewels, and were
worn strung on a thread like pearls.
Such n string of emeralds was exhibited
in a jewelers. window in Unterden Lin
den and was estimated to be worth twelve
thousand marks. Now emeralds are no
longer polished into round form, but
are polished like diamonds. Faultless
stones of a deep color have always
been as valuable as diamonds. The
reason of the scarcity Of emeralds is the
decrease in production in the Ural
mountains. Emeralds were first dis
covered on the right bank of the Toxic
woler, near Katharineburg. in 1880, and
in the first years the harvest was rich
one. Now the decrease, both in quantity
andquality, hardly repays the labor. The
harvest of emeralds in Labachtal, in the
Salzburger Alps, has also proved disap-
pointing, SO that emeralds are now only
to be had from Australia and Muse,
near Santa Fe de Bogota, In Colombia,
in any appreciable quantity. The lat
ter spot has been noted for its emeralds
since the sixteenth century.

gullies to appear again rising on the

stone and brick runs on and on until
lost to sight behind the farthest range.
And so, says the Century, it goes for
miles and miles. eastward to the Pechili

THE WOMEN or EGYPT.
Facts That Prove They Were Not Far Be-

rscts Inat Prove They We're Not Far Be-
hind Their Modern Sisters.
The women of to-day should be deep
ly learned in Egyptology, as there is
much in recent developments to show
that woman was very highly regarded
in the ancient times. We find them act
ing as regents during the minority of
their sons. They transacted business
and bequeathed their property. Deeds
of gifts have been found by a mother 70
her daughter, and another in which a
mother transfers her property to her
daughter on certain conditions. Then
there Is the famous Queen Hatasu, a
most brilliant woman and a remarkable
builder.
The oldest known fragment of Homer
pillowed the head of a young woman
who was doubtless buried with her
favorite poet as Tennyson of our own
time was buried with his. There Is
every indication that the higher educa-
ton of woman was duly considered and
II no evidences of coeducation exist
it is doubtless because those ancient
people were much too wise to ATTEMPT il.
That women possessed tact and a
delightful manner of ordering their
homes is inferred from the fact that
all the portraits and statues of Egypt
ian men represent them with a partic-
ularly happy and good- blurred en-
preston

BACTERIA AND LIGHT.
Ore Of the Curiosities of a Microscopic
Organism.

Ore Of the CuriOsIties of 4 Microscopic
Organism.
The study of bacteria, those micro
scopic organisms which have assumed
so much Importance in the public mind
since some of them have been shown to
be the active cause of various diseases.
Is progressing at a wonderful rate. 1t
may be possible to write the biography
OF certain bacteria, and the story of
their individual development, saws the
Youths Companion, would possess
much interest.
The action of light upon these simple
organisms is, in certain cases, wonder
full. 1t has been ascertained. for in
stance; that the bacterium photomet-
ricum possesses the power, or property,
of discriminating between lights of diff
ferent intensities.
These minute organisms show an op-
tcal rotation in a definite direction,
and when the intensity of the light
shining upon them is suddenly dimin-
ished, they dart backward with an op-
posite rotation. This is called by En-
Relmann a terror notion" as if the
organisms feared darkness.
One result of this curious property is
that such bacteria may be inclosed in
m illuminated circle as in a trap. out
of which escape is impossible to them,
for the moment they approach the dark
rim of the luminous circle the terror
motion" sends them shooting back into
the light.

Fireballs I'm England.

The use of fireballs saves one-third
coal, and is common enough in England,
from the laborer's cottage to the lodg-
ings of thrifty gentlewomen in Bath
and Cheltenham. Made of one-third
coal dust, two-thirds sand and beaten
clay, nodded with water into balls the
size of goose egg and dried, they are
permanent fuel When the coal fire is
hot and red dozen of these balls put
into the furnace will become red-hot
and stay SO, like red-hot brick, keeping
up the heat far longer than coal with
out them. There is nothing like them
for keeping the house warm at night,
and half a dozen put red-hot into a
brazier or portable furnace would take
the chill off bedrooms very comforta-
bly,. When rooms are heated by stoves
economy lies in never letting the fire go
down in cold weather, as it takes more
heat to warm the rooms when the walls
are chilled than it does to keep them so
for days.

1t cuts the skin and frets

Pears Soap has no free,
alkali in it. 1t neither red
dens nor roughens the skin.
It responds to water in

after-effect is every way
good.

A Long Winter,

The coolest winter the world ever
knew, according to several chroniclers,
occurred during the year 1435. The
season was not only intensely cold, but
lasted unusually long. In a large por-
ton of middle and western Germany
the frost was so severe during the
month of May that skaters braved the
ice without the least danger. and on
May IL skates were generally used. On
st. Johns day, June "a, the windows
were frozen and not a vestige of vege-
tation was to be seen anywhere Spring
was ushered in with the last day of

THE USE OF SLANG.
Is 1t More Frequent Among the Girls o.
the Boyse

the Boys?
A writer in the Baltimore Sun states
that girls use more slang-especially II
they are grown up-than boys do.
Girls, it is affirmed, talk mnch more
than boys, so that their stock Of un-
couth words is in more frequent use. It
is also larger. If boy were mine of
slang his taciturnity would keep 1t con-
cealed from all but few of his chums.
His inventions are confined to a small
circle, and his opportunities of borrow
ing are correspondingly diminished.
Not so with the girl. The loquacity of
her associates, aided by her own,
spreads and multiplies slang with the
greatest rapidity. She is more sociable.
At school she is "thick" with a dozen
and gathers in all the dozen know. And
besides, says the same authority, girls
are so reckless in the use of language
that they give a slangy character to
good English. With the girl ut the
period of gigglehood every good thing
is perfectly" so. She never" does this
and she always" does that. She some
times feels hateful" but it is oftener
some one else who is perfectly horrid."
Nearly everything is awful" Such
are some of the charges this abominable
person brings against the sweet young
creatures. Another authority fatty
contradicts them all and says the boy is
the sum of all villainies. The words he
prefers, it is asserted, are SO tinged
with profanity that he cannot use them
at home, and it is thus only that he gets
his reputation for freedom from slang.
Who can settle the dispute? We are of
opinion that injustice is done to the
girls. We are confident also that few
boys are as bad as represented. 1t is
possible that the so-called authority"
has been judging the whole world from
nus few unfortunate associates.

''Our widows always go into the

who is living at Sitka, Alaska, accord

''The native women think great deal
of their better halves. And if appear
ances go for anything they think a
great deal more of them after they are
dead than they ever did while the dear
fellows were in the flesh. At the death
of husband a widows grief is almost
pitiable. She shows the tenderest de-
votion to the dear departed, and has
the sympathy, assistance and affection
of all her neighbors. At the funeral
the widow is a sight to behold. So Sc

she that her neighbors will think that

Of sorrow that she paints the upper por-

for several days and sometimes weeks
after the funeral, and then again she

throws aside all evidences of grief. But
