Time and Silence.

As time Is the greatest Of physicians.
40 silence is the greatest of arbiters.
Time and silence succeed oftentimes
where all other .gencies and influences
fail. The truth /. omnipotent and
needs no props. In the end only the
right will prevail, cnG all men shall
see it. Suffering Is the only avenue TO
the highest and divinest experiences.
"Eeswas made perfect through suffer
Ing and II we would ''reiEn with Him
we must also suffer with Him." Suf-
fering Is Heavens brightest angel in
disguise. If We sVffer as Christians.
let us rejoice and e glad. cor great is
our reward, not N the far-off life to
come only, buXhere on earth also. If
we are right Eith God and our cause is
Just, we haye nothing to fear, however
we may suffer, but in the end We shall
say. 1T fwas well; it was wellg' All
things Come to those who know how to

know that He guides our steps. He
ioeth all things well, and He shall bring
forth thy righteousness as the light, and
thy Judgment (vindication) as the noon

suffer on, II it be thy lot.

Gems Suffer.

Gems have diseases, just as men and
women have, with this difference, that
the infirmities of precious stones can
rarely be cured. Some gems deterio-
rate-grow old, in other words-and
gradually become lifeless. Pearls are
most subject to this fate, and no means
have been found to restore them to life
Among the infirmities to which pre-
cious stones are liable is one common
to all colored stones-that of fading or
losing color when long exposed to light
The emerald, the sapphire, and the
ruby suffer the least, their colors being
as nearly permanent as colors can be,
yet experiments made a few years ago
In Paris and Berlin to determine the
deterioration Of cOlored gems through
exposure showed that even these suf-
fered, a ruby which had lain for two
years in shop window being percepti.

The Cingalese have twelve words for

of the person they wish to designate.
They have also eight different modes of
saying thou and ''you," as determin-
ed by the social position Of the person
addressed. In Siam there are eight
different ways Of saying Il" and 1--WE" "

master addressing the servant, or the
servant the master. The names of the

they spoke Of seeing a stone," and Of
seeing a man." the word seeing in
the two sentences would be different.

AN INTERESTING FAMILY
rhe Jimsoh Weed and It's Numeros
and Important Relatives.

The Jimson Weed and fts Numerous
and Important Relatives.
The lowly jimson weed belongs I.
family not only interesting, but of
great Importance from an economic
point of view. The jamestown weed
is only another species of the plant
from which the priests Of Apollo made
decoction to induce that state of
ecstasy in keeping with the prophetic
character Of their revelations. Tonga
Is a drink made from the seeds which
the Indians of Darien give to their chill
dren that they may discover the loca-
ton Of gold. Klondikers might take a
baby along and a few jimson weed
seeds to make tea, and when the baby
has its "dope" and fails down. there
daddy could dig. sure Of a find.
OF course you eat potatoes. which are
cousins Of the jimson weed, but you
very likely eat them with or without
their jackets, in salad, prepared as Bar
atoga chips or in other ways too nu-
merous to mention, but 1t Is safe to say
that you never ate them preserved, and
yet that Is the way Parkinson, writing
In 1640, recommended that they be
cooked. He suggested that the tubers
be roasted, STEPPED in sugar or baked
with marrow and spices. Here Is an

Buenos Ayres, who first collected it.
Another oid-fashloned flower Of this

is not a vine, but a shrub vita decun-

as atropa, is a night shade. The ladies
used It to make a wash for freck.es.

they will try to the tooth, though many leave
