Precious Stones Here.

Diamonds have been found i Wisconsin.
In 1896 one stone Of 6s karats was found in
Saukville, Ozankee county. six miles north
west of Milwaukee, and another of 2 LIS
karats in Burlington, Racine county. In
1886 one of q karats. but of poor color, was
found near louisville. Washington county.
Wis. These gems were found in what is
known as the Kettle Moraine Of the later
glacial epoch. Biologists say hat they
were carried by ice from the north.
One diamond of l BIG karats, one Of Liz
and a third of 1-32 karat, were found near
Butte, Mont, a few days ago. Rubies have
beer found in surprisingly large quantities
in the Cowee valley of North Carolina.
With them are very beautiful garnets.
On the bars of the Missouri river, in Mon
tana, sapphires of small size. but fair quail
ity and good in quantit~ are being taken
out by companies formed for the purpose.
Several fine beryls have been unearthed in
Maine. In North Carolina some good speci-
mems of emeralds have been discovered.
Topaz occurs in Idaho and Montana
Connecticut, Maine. and North Carolina
have produced several good specimens of
tourmaline. Garnets occur in fair Quanti-
ties in California South Dakota and
Virginia have produced a few valuable
amethysts. A beautiful opal was found in
Maryland. In Lincoln county, ID. there
is a deposit of opalized wood which is

DECAY OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
Average Sunday School of To-
day L. . Rebuke to In
teIIigence.

In the March Ladies' Home Journal Ed
ward Box writes on THE Decay of the
Sunday School," and points out the rea-
sons therefor. IT have in mind" he Gays.
mot less than twelve different men who
are acting as superintendent of our Sum
day schools. No one of these men has even
eonal magnetism not a personal possession
which goes to draw children to him or
TO the school over which he presides. In
five OF these cases the men have been fall
ures in business; by men in the outer world
they are passed over, and yet the church
places them In positions which call pre-
eminently for every element which they
so distinctly lack. To be a successful head
of a Sunday school calls for a man with
the instincts of leadership; a man who
will infuse life into the school; hope and
courage into his teachers: who is fertile
of mind and infinite in capacity; who can
draw children to him and retain their in
terest. Not only must he elevate his chill
dren in a spiritual sense. but lessons OF
the highest morality must be taught; an
influence refining 10 mind and nature must
the children must be arrested and held.
Infinite variety of method must be sought.
The young quickly tire Of anything which
long remains the same, and that Is why
they are firing of the Sunday school. 1t
has too long remained the same 1t has
fallen into a rut, and the fault lies be-
tween the presiding spirits of the school
and the churches who have placed them
there or allowed them TO remain" Mr..
Box concludes his discussion with the as
eertjon that 1.-The average Sunday school
of to-day Is a rebuke to intelligence and q
discredit to the church"

ORIGIN OF PANHANDLER.
Dusenhoner, of San
Francisco.


From the New York Sun.
One of those slang words which, at first
frowned upon, become regular and recog-
nized individuals in the verbal community
because they express something for which
there is no other adequate expression, Is
the noun ~"panhandler," and its offshoot is
the verb Ito panhandle" A number of let
tiers have recently been received by the Sun
asking by what authority the word pam
handler was used, and whence it came. The
answer was that it established itself by
authority of Its being the only word to ex-
press that form OF beggary which is char
acterfzed by the implied or actual threat of
violence AS for the source of the word.
the suggestion was made that a panhandler
Is one who handles a pan or can or growler,
something used for carrying drinks.
Other correspondents objected to this on
GROWER is frequently called can" or
duck or pitcher" but never a pan"
On shtpboard the term pan might be used
In this sense. but panhandle is not a ma
rine word. Another suggestion was that
the word came from the West, where the
tough tramps who follow the line of the
Panhandle railroad are called ~panhandlers.
From a Californian who is visiting in town
a Sun reporter got another version of the
words origin.
Ian. there was a chap called Mink Dusen-
hotter in San Francisco who started a bar
and 'caffy,' as he called 1t, down near the
water front. His place was pretty tough,
but he had good things to eat, and the
'cany' did a big business. One night his
age and Mink turned EN- out. In their
places he got a gang of scattermouches and
mulligrubberS that didn't know bean soup
from charlotte russo, commonly ordered
