Suffolk, Va, Dec. 12.-Fire made a
clean sweep this morning out near
Cypress Chapel. William +. BrinNey's
dwelling was burned. together with the
Kitchen, smokehouse. dairy. wood
house and a storage room. About the
only things saved from the burned
buildings were six feather beds.
The blaze started between 5 and 6
O'Clock, soon after Mr.. Brlnlsley
had gotten up and made fire. A
spark on the roof did the mischief.
Mr.. BrinlIley said with two men to
help him he could have prevented the
fire. He had n ladder near, but it was
too heavy for him to handle. The
fiery element was not long in COM
plotting the work. Many of the tlmbers
we're heart pine, and they burned well.
The loss is estimated at $4,000; in
surance $1,000 on the house and $325 on
the furniture in the Liverpool, London
and Globe Company. with Harper s:

low rest are most valuable, and 1t is
advised that the first two hours of the
morning be reserved for the tasks
which children find most fatiguing.
Regarding vacations, this authority
asserts that they are at present need
lessly long, but far from sufficiently
frequent. The refreshing effect OF
each vacation Is demonstrated in every
school-room. 1t is nc greater, however,
after two months of play than after
one, and 1t lasts nc longer.
In this connection the value of impe-
tus must also be taken into account,
and 1t would hardly do to alternate
months of idleness with months of
work, but the fact remains that the
periods of activity are now too prolong-
ed. The Berlin man says that the stu.
dies most fatiguing to child minds are,
in order, mathematics, foreign Ian.
guages, gymnastics and, for many,
singing and drawing, while the natural
sciences and history cause little strain.
He is surprisingly emphatic in oppoS
ing gymnastic exercises for the young,
and asserts that they are nc substi'
tute for sleep, baths and walks.-New

Berlin Pedagogue Thinks Holidays
should Be Tricky Distributed.
So much time has been devoted to the
discussion OF what should be studied by
children and how it should be taught
that comparatively little has been EN-.
ployed In solving the problem, perhaps
almost BIS important as either of the
other two-the problem of when the
studying and teaching should be done.
A Berlin pedagogue has taken up this
neglected branch of the great subject
and his Investigations have had inter-
esting and suggestive results.
The best working days, he says, are
Mondays and Tuesdays, or any two
that come directly after a holiday. The
obvious deduction Is that the insertion
of a full holiday in the middle of the
week would tend to the keeping up Of
mental activity among school children
and SO add to the amount of real work
accomplished. Those hours of the day,
as well as those of the week, which fol

The other woman was distressed be-
cause all of hers were real, and the
thought of the money invested in them
was too much for her.
limitation jewels have come to be
so finely made that Detection is almost
impossible. Even for ordinary wear
they are accounted beautiful, and it is
1nly the knowledge of their falsity
which makes them unpopular. For
every ordinary purpose they are as
useful as the genuine pieces.
The last jewels to be initiated with
wonderful success are rubies, and they
happen to be a fashionable stone just
now. The mandatory which has
these imitation rubles on the market
Is situated in London, and 1t has al
ready been said there that the price of
real rubies will certainly fall In con-
sequence of the discovery of these
wonderful limitations. The profits of
thekcompany making the rubies are
said to be $1s5.00O a year.
Artificial 1ubies weighing 40 carats
can be produced, but are not, as there
would be no sale for stones of that
size. An authority has said that there
IS no way known to him by which
.hese stones can be told from the genu-
ne ones.
A London jeweler questioned as to
the possible results of these good and

impossible to initiate might become the
most valuable and most fashionable,

a1d medicine.

of Scott's life was that which he spent
with his family at Ashestiel, a coun-
try mansion ON the bank of the Tweed
in a solitary mountain district. Al
this time he was engaged in writing
"Marmion." Many of his literary
friends visited him here. On Sundays
they would all, accompanied by the
several dogs, go picknicking to some
favorite spot, frequently the ruined
tower of Elibank and there dine in the
open air.
When his dear old dog, Camp, died,
Scott had been invited to dine out that
day, but declined on account of the
death of a dear old friend" His most
famous dog was the greyhound,
Mazda, who came upon the scene when
the Waverly novels were beginning to
set the world talking. 1t is Mazda
who figures at his feet in the we'll
known sculpture by Steel. Washing
ton Irving, during a visit to Abbots-
ford in 1917, enjoyed the pleasure with
Scott and his dogs. "As we sailed
forth, every dog in the establishment
turned out to attend us; Mazda de-
ported himself with a gravity becom.
ing his age and size, while the others
worried him gamboling, frolicking
and leaping at his neck. Il AVE no
doubt" said Scott, that when Mazda
is alone with them heNthrows gravity
aside and plays the boy as much as
any of them, but he is ashamed to do
so in our company"
In the autumn of 1920 when !. large
party, including Sir Humphrey Davy,
DR.. Wollaston and Henry Mackenzy,
were starting out with the dogs, a
little black pig was discovered to be
frisking about among the dogs with
the evident intention of joining the
party. "This pig" said Lockhart,
sshad formed a strong and most senti-
mental attachment to Scott and was
constantly urging his %pretensions to be
admitted as a regular. l remember
him suffering under the same peril
nacity on the part Of an affectionate
hen"
1t is a sad task for Scott when quit
ting his home to seek health abroad,
which he did not find, to leave his
dogs; his last orders were that they
should be well taken care Of.

Bohemia's Strange Minerals.

Net far from Trebisch, In Bohemia,
are found many glassy-looking objects,
of a bottle-green color, and tending,
when %unbroken, to an egg shape. to
which the name moladivites has been
given. Professor Suess, of Vienna,
from a recent study of these curious
minerals, concludes that they are real
ily meteorites, and should be added to
the list of foreign bodies that have
found their way TO the earth's surface

British Admiralty Red Tame.

Every one who has to do with the
admiralty is familiar with amusing
tales OF the glorifcation of red tape.
Here is the very latest. Some time ago
a workman in one of the dock yards
lost a government ~candlestick, valued
at a few pence. This was considered
sufficient excuse for a report by the To-
cal officials to Whitehall. A long cor
respondence of the approved govern
ment Office type ensued, and it is esti-
mated that not less than five pounds
was spent in the officials time, ink and
paper. After every aspect of the case
had been weighed, the workman was
directed to pay the local officials the
sum 0. five pence, being the value set
upon this particular candlestick. on
course, if the mar had been In private
employment, little or no notice would
have been taken of such a triviality, or,
at most, he would have paid his fore
man the value, without any red tape

"He was a gentleman, even to bis
logs" said a visitor to Abbotsford In
1880. when too roughly frolicsome,
he rebuked them gently SO as not to
mortify them or spoil the natural
buoyancy of their character.
Dear old Scott! How he loved to
stroll with his dogs through the woods
Of his beautiful home, there amid the
rural scenes which he loved so dearly
he would take long, enjoyable, salts,
flying walks with his pet companions
who added not q little to the happiness
of his life. They were elevated by
him to the position of steady and sens
lble friends; they possessed rights to
be respected and feelings which it
would be scandalous to outrage. Scott
always kept n window of his study
open that his dogs might leap in and
out as the fancy moved them.
