WEARING FALSE GEMS.
sha1ns now Freely Tolerated in So


ShaIns now Freely Tolerated in So
ciety.
How much is real and how much is
sham in the respondent display Of pre-
sQmably precious stones at the opera or
other smart functions is impossible to
tell nowadays. Tor my lady mikes the
two together with { calm audacity that
is Development OF late years, the old
theory tiat a lady must wear nothing
that IS not real being apparently quite
opt Of date. The modern adaptation Of
this social rule is that il 4 woman has a
certain amount of fine jewelry she may
wear as many false ones in addition as
she can without making the fact con-
spicuous. 1t is only in those who have
TO real cnes that the display of false
gems IS vulgar.
y fashionable woman in town, whose
position IS unquestionable, wears sew
eral Strings of pearls, one of which is
real aud the rest shams, and hardly
knows herself which is the genuine.
Another woman. who owns a couple Of
diamond stars, has presented herself
with several others-the best bril-
liants," whose giittering radiance is
quito Undimmed by their juXtapcsit;on
with The real stones. At 4 birthday
dinner recently the heroine of the oc-
caSion wore a ruby surrounded by
pearls IS brooch. This was greatly
admired. Taking it from the lace
which it fastened, she passed it to one
OF her friends. The jewel was handed
from orc to another until it had made
the circuit of the table. All the guests
were people Of culture, familiar with
gems. and some Of them were COL
no.sselms. After the stone had been
unanimouslypraised theowner fastened
it in its place again, saying quietly: Il
think it is pretty. bought it yester-
day ut B-'s for two dollars"
1t has long been conceded that 4
string of Roman pearls may be worn by
a young girl without laying her taste
open to question. 1t is q new thing,
however, for rich women to bring real
gems and bogus ones together in such
a way as TO deceive the very elect and
1t seems 4 pity that the old standards OF
noblcssc oblige, affecting the wearing
Of Jewels and lace, should be lowered.
1t is claimed by those who wear false
jewels that no deception is intended,
the owner being quite willing to ae-
knowledge her use Of the limitations,
hut at all events the general public is
deceived and it may be questioned
whether my lady goes cut Of her way to
acknowledge what she is wearing.
q do not see the use of wearing real
pearls" said well-known society
woman not long age. 81 have half
mind to sell mine ard wear limitations.
No one would ever know" Then she
fully concluded to take this course and
did take it. Hence she rejoices in the
income Of $4,000 in bonds, wears pearls
still and even her intimate friends 90
not suspect the exchange.-N. Y. Trib-
tine

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Mrs. Margaret E. Hood, of Freder-
ick, Nd, has given $4,000 to endow u
professorship in the woman's college
of that town. Some time ago she gave
$4,000 to found the Daniel Scholl OBJ
servatory in Franklin and Marshall col
lege, Lancaster, Pa.
Julian now has seven studios in
Paris for women art students, of which
che chief is still the one in the Passage
DIES Panoramas which Marie Bashki1't-
EFF attended. Most of the pupils are
ehaperoned to and from the studios,
but many of the English and American
girls go unattended.
All through the cold weather in
Paris the Mohammedan deputy, DR..
Grenier, persisted in performing his
additions in the Seine in the presence
of an amused crowd. TO put an end
to the unseemly excitement the legis-
lative officials have ordered the con-
struction of a special washing appar-
atus for the eccentric member.
"A Finnish college was recently es-
tablished in Hancock, Mich, under the
auspices of the American synod Of the
Finnish Evangelical Lutheran church.
Rev. j. X. Niklander, the president OF
the synod, is at the head OF the col
lege, which, though small as yet, will
probably soon become large institu-
ton.

MULE HOOP HOG.

telIiEence.


teIIigence.
There Is a farmer living near Syi-
vania who has propagated new kind OF
yineless potato, which is all the talk
around here now. The potato, SO his
neighbors say, grows entirely UNDER
ground, and requires no cultivation
whatever. He also raises crop OF hay
on the same ground and at the same
time the potatoes are growing neither
crop requiring any work.
The question, of course, arises: How
can the potatoes be gathered when
there are no vines to show where they
are growing? This difficulty the farm
err overcomes in a remarkable manner.
He has an old SOW, of the mule-hoof
variety, that he has run out of his fields
so often that she squeals every time
he starts after her. When he wants
mess of potatoes he ts&es his rocking
chair and basket to the patch and turns
the sow in. He then makes himself
comfortable in the chair, while the SOW
begins to root. AS soon as potato IS
found she SEXES 1t in her mouth and
makes a break to get away. From
force of habit. however, she squeals
when she starts, and, this causing her
TO open her mouth, the potato drops.
The farmer, as soon as he hears squeal,
hastens at once to the spot, picks up the
potato and puts it in his basket. He
then cQmposes- himself in the chair un-

NO BOTToMLESS I LAKES.
The Deepest Arc Less Than $500
Feet.

Feet.
The deepest body of fresh water in
America is Crater lake, Gre. Only one
lake in the world, Lake Bailal, exceeds
it in depth, and it is only 400 feet deeper.
Untilrecently twas asserted Crater lake
was bottomless, but soundings have
shown its greatest depth to be 1900 feet.
1t is five miles in diameter, nearly Cir
cular, and occupies the crater of an
extinct volcano. No fish have ever been
known to exist in Crater lake. Recently
Il club OF mountain climbers, with head
quarters at Portland, sent to Washing
ton request that Crater lake be
stocked with trout, and the government
experts are going to find cut il such a
scheme is practicable 1t is easy
enough to put trout into the water, but
the question is if there is sufficient
food in the water to nourish them after
they are there. The experts will tow
small gauze nets over the water at all
hours of the day. Anlmelculae will
catch in the gauZe, and from its abund-
ance or lack it can be ascertained if the
water contains nourishment.
An interesting series Of experiments
will also be undertaken TO ascertain the
temperature of the water at various
depths. No such observations have ever
been taken Of fresh water so far down.
With this end in view full equipment
of self registering thermometers and
supplementary apparatus will be taken
along and let down with sounding lines.
There are very few places in the lake
where the depth is less than LOGO feet,
and no lake on the western hemisphere
approaches this.
1t is nc wonder, then, that Crater
lake was supposed to lie bottomless.
However, the truth is that all lakes over
$50 feet deep possess similar reputa-
ton. ANY body of water that is deeper
than the length cf the longest feeling
line is sure to lack a bottom in the
popular belief. A first-rate example Of
this sort of delusion is afforded by
Lafayette lake, in Idaho. 1t was
formerly imagined to be tottomless,
and later its depth was officially stated
to be $500 feet. Recent investigation
proves that its greatest depth is 305 feet.
There is no data on which to base a
guess as to the bottom of Crater lake,
but the suPposition is that it will he
very little above the freezing. The
temperature of the ocean remains at
about 10 degrees Fahrenheit all the year
round, even in the tropics. Neverthe-
less, some volcanic heat may yet remain
to warm the waters of Crater lake
