D.gessiDie FOOD.

One of the biggest mistakes abou
Food which people make is to forget
that the true value of food to anybody
is the measure of its digestibility. Half
a pound of cheese is vastly more nour-
ishing, as regards its mere composition,
than half pound of beef, bat while the
beef will be easily digested and thus be
of vast service to us the cheese is put
out of court altogether for ordinary
folks by reason of its indigestibility.
We should bear this rule in mind when
we hear people comparing ono food with
another in respect to their chemical
value. London Hospital.

BUYING PRECIOUS STONES
Some of the Valuable Gems and What
They Are Made Of

Buying jewels is as hazardous as buy
ing horses, and could anything possibly
be more risky than the latter? White
sapphires have occasionally been sold as
diamonds, and as proof that white topaz
may easily be confused with them one
has only to recall the fact that the lar
gest diamond in the world, the Bragan
"a, belonging TO the crown of Portugal
and valued at SOS, 600, 900. is by many
considered 60 be only topaz. Carbon,
in q pure crystallized state, is in every
color of the rainbow, red, orange green,
blue and even black, and occasionally
the colored are as valuable as brilliant
of the same size
The jewels next in hardness to the
diamond are the sapphire and the ruby
called by experts corundum, or crystal
lized clay. Blue corundum is called sap
phire; red, ruby; green, oriental emer-
aid; orange. oriental topaz, and violet
oriental amethyst. The word oriental
distinguishes these from real emerald,
topaz and amethyst, which are distinct
minerals.
The largest and most famous ruby in
the world forms part Of the imperial
state crown made for Queen Victoria In
1888. 1t is believed that this ruby was
worn in front of the helmet of Henry V
at Agincourt
The most precious sapphires and ru-
bies, when cut and polished, show rays
from the center to the sides in the form
of six pointed star. On this account
they are called star sapphires or rubies.
1t is difficult TO produce gem upon
these stones on account of their exceed
ing hardness, but there are a few good
intaglios and canoes extant in both
one, cameo head of Cupid, by lsler,
one sapphire; another, front face
cameo head of Diana ON ruby, by Pis-
trucci.
Topaz is the next jewel in degree OF
hardness. Ii consists of about half clay,
one-third flint and the rest fiuoric acid.
The best are yellow, with sometimes a
greenish tinge. Some found in Brazil
are perfectly colorless and are called
''novamina" diamonds. They are more
brilliant when polished than any jewel
There are few blue topazes found
these are taken by the uninitiated for
sapphires. Philadelphia Press

Sole Occupation OF Seven Hundred Fami-
lies In q SIN all Town of Saxony.

lies i y SINAI IoWh u SaxOuys
In a small town called st. Andreas-
berg (Saxony) some 700 families are en-
tirely engaged in the task of rearing
and educating good canary singers. A
great proportion of these singers is sent
abroad, far or near-to London, to Aus
tralia and to the United States. where
Sne single firm ships 100, 600 birds each
year. These canaries are the inferior
birds, the schreir, as they are called in
Germany, on account Of their notes.
These schreir, which are bought from
20 to so cents in the Harz, are sold for
q, So or 81 in America. The best birds
are kept in Germany, where they are
called hohlroller. A good hohlroller
cappot be had under s. or $10-in the
Ha&-and SEQ and s25 are no unusual
prices. But such birds are certainly
splendid singers. The Germans have
quite a number of words, each of which
applies to a different sort of tune, or
intonation; the beulrolle is in minor
key; klingerolle applies to silver tones;
koller to a warbling which reminds of
the murmur of water, gluchrolle is
similar TO the nightingale's notes. and
ono may say that every detail of the
cauary's song has beer named. and that
for every one there is a standard of per-
lection which the expert fancier knows
perfectly well. The song of all canaries
Is not exactly similar. Each race has
its special points, and while the one is
great on beulrolle. for instance. it is
weak on gluchrolle. while the case is
reversed with another race.
OF course singing is u natural feature
with canaries. bIt the influence of edu
cation is considerable. The educational
curriculum begins Ill May tor the young
~canaries. and they are. as soon as posi-
hle, separated from their parents. Ed
ucation is all in this: Keep the young
bird from hearing any but excellent
singers. Some Is or 20 young canaries
are put in one cage with an older bird.
an especially good singer. and he teaches
them the elements. They try 10 initiate
him, and hence comes his beneficial in
1uence. In August each of the young
birds is put in a small cage and kept
in the immediate vicinity of The cage
of the teacher. At this time the fancicT
tries to gather some idea Of the prog
ress achieved and of the aptitude of the
different birds. The best are put in the
nearest vicinity Of the teacher. In or
der to prevent the young birds from
getting disturbed their cages are wrap
ped with cloth. so as to prevent them
from seeing what is going On around
them. and in order TO encourage sing
ing the cages are generally shaped in
form of a dome: this shape intensifies
the sound. and the birds are pleased
with their own music. Popular Science

swedish Men and Women.

What enormous fellows and what
Ieviathan persons some of these Swe-
dish men and women are. Nowhere will
you see such noble specimens of adult
humanity as in Stockholm's streets.
The feature seems TO pervade all classes,
though il is not least striking among the
nobility. Six feet is "A common height
for a man here, and really | do not be-
lieve | exaggerate in saying that men Of
9 feet 3 or 1 inches are as abundant in
Stockholm a. men Of 6 feet with us.
The tallness of the women is Just as
noteworthy. You remark il less, how
ever, because they are so well proper
toned. They say it is easy to tell by
the size of the boots outside the doors
which rooms 'ef a hotel are occupied by
thu Swedish fair. This is a very endur-
aole hit at the Swedish ladies. Though
they do wear skies or sevens in shoe
leather. no sculptor would find fault
with them on professional grounds.
Moreover, they have most winsome
compilations, and of course blue eyes
are nowhere more intensely blue than
here.
1t is comforting to know speak on
the evidence of one of the pensionnaires
that Swedish maidens have a great
admiration for English bachelors. They
read French novels, but they believe in
English bridegrooms. The blood bond
sill exists, l suppose, between them
