Emeralds Are Scarce.

1t is reported that emeralds are stead
fly disappearing. In the fifties and six
ties emeralds were the favorite jewels,
and were worn strung on a thread like
pearls. Now emeralds are no longer
polished into round form, but are pol
ished like diamonds. Faultless stones
Of deep color have always been as
valuable as diamonds. The reason of
the scarcity Of emeralds is the decrease
In production in the Ural Mountains.
Emeralds were first discovered on the
right bank of the Tokowo oler, near Kath-
arineberg, In 1880; and In the first
years the harvest was rich one.

One cod day soon after this mamma

eo~e rrats Phrases Collected By CoDo
Reader.
The telegraph editors and copy read'
ers Of newspapers run across Q great
many remarkable statements In the
CODY received from correspondents ana
even from the press associations
Trfte expressions become q habit win
correspondents, and 1t Is one OF the
duties Of the copy reader to eliminate
these when he runs across them. some
Of them are actually weird. as follows;
"He was overcome by smoke In the
upper story"
sThe man was fatally wounded. He
may die"
.sThe supposed to be dead Jones stab
bed the alleged murderer twice, IN
nicting fatal wounds, which he cannot
survive"
"Jerrel was blown about thirty feer
He leaves q family"
Smith was shot twice by the alleged
slayer-one ball entering the intestines'
the other penetrating his right lung
The coroner is investigating. Blood
hounds have been put on the trail"
Writers often have thiE.s .ss occur In the
most remarkable places. The follow
ing instances have actually appeared IN
newspapers or have been dragged out
Of copy by editors before they got into
print:
.sThe man was shot twice In the
saloon"

"He was injured in the fracas."
"He kissed her passionately on her
temperance"
HE kissed her back"
"He walked in upon her invitation"
"She seated herself upon his enter

following:

sin Of unframed correspondents. The
following are old friends and will be
readily recognized by newspaper read
ers:
"It is reported on the highest author
ity by one who has the ear Of the presi-
dent, but whose name is suppressed for
obvious reasons. that" The In
formation that usually follows a state
ment Of that kind is as valuable as its
is authoritative.
The correspondent who concludes his
story by saying: ut is said the story
can be supported by facts" seldom sees
the story in print.
Some Of the most common examples
Of triteness are:
''It was a gala day." or red letter day.

Description of the Mauser Pistol to Bs

''The new Mauser pistol, with which
our cavalry is about to be armed, is a
horrible looking piece Of machinery"
said an esthetic sportsman yesterday.

but looks like some strange scientific
Instrument such as one might see in n
laboratory. Imagine a cigar box, Jap
aimed black, with a handle at one end
and short tube at the other. and
there you have 1t. The box contains
the mechanism and the tube spouts
bullets. The cavalryman Of the past
was a dashing figure. He wore a steel
cuirass and helmet with noddinp
plumes, and while he carried a brace
of pistols in his holsters his real weap-
IN was his trusty saber. Do you re-
member the splendid fellows who are
galloping past Napoleon in Meissonier's
1907? Since then science has gradu-
ally sucked all the poetry out of war
and the Mauser pistol Is the last work
OF brutal utilitarianism. The cavalry
man Of the future will carry nothing
but a small black walnut box, and
win closely resemble a surgeon going
out to operate for appendicitis. When
he gets to the right spot. designated by
the engineer corps, he will dismount.
