The Precious Jade.

The most precious of all stones,
according to DIR. de Lignieres, is
the jade, on account of it's rarity,
it's extraordinary qualities and the
mystery of it's cutting. It was
regarded as a sacred stone, and
nobody had right to possess it
except a prince of imperial blood.
Argerius Clutius, famous physi-
clan in Amsterdam, at the time of
the Renaissance, published a work
on the jade or nephritic stone, as
it was then called, on account of
it's action on the renal system. At
the same period italian authors
spoke of the jade as osiada, and
discussed it's wonderful powers
for healing sciatica.
The legends surrounding this
stone abound in history. Good
specimens of jade are extremely
rare, and the world is at loss to
know how the Chinese managed
to cut it, because it is so extremely
hard that nothing can make an i'm.
preston upon it. Splendid speci-
mems of gray and green jade can
be seen in the museum of the
Trocadero.-Paris Figaro.

Garden and Cradle.

When our babe he goeth walking in his garden
Around his tinkling feet the sunbeams play;
The posies they are good to him
And bow them as they should to him,
AS fareth he upon his kingly way;
And birdlings of the wood to him
Make music, gentle music, all the day.
When our babe he goeth walking in his garden
When our babe he goeth swinging in his cradle
Then the night it lOoketh ever sweetly down;
The little stars are kind to him,
The moon she hath mind to him
And layeth on his head golden crown;
And singeth then the wind to him
song. the gentle song of Bethlem-town,
When our babe he goeth swinging in his cradle,

BEWARE of the man who worms himself into your
friendship only to do underhand, maneuvering acts
Such man is deceiver; he will deliberately take
advantage of your kindness; he will study your
defects to make them weapon for your destruction
and, should it suit his purpose he will betray you
Such man will sacrifice his best friend to &C.
complish his selfish ends, even though the
sacrifice be unnecessary for the accomplishment,
and he will then attempt to justify himself to his
friend and to himself the ground that what he
said was true

Post advances the theory that the poet Edgar Allen
Poe, was, as he feared for years he would be- buried
allve that he awakened from one cataleptic attack
only to fall into still deeper and more deathlike
trance to return to consciousness in the grave
Dr. Tanner, who was life long friend of Poe's.
says that the poet was very subject to cataleptic
attacks, and that the rough handling to which he
was subjected on the day preceding his supposed
death would have tendency to produce much
deeper trance than common. The idea is yerv

WHOSE is THE PUNISHMENT?

WHICH is the greater sufferer when the strong
arm of the law deprives of his liberty, the
bad man the good woman? Invariably the
woman. There is food for reflection for those who
pirate about free will virtue being it's own reward
and kindred topics In this in nearly all of ifes
vicissitudes, the woman bears the brunt of the
burden. 1t is the mother, the wife, the sweetheart
or the sister who is paying the penalty. The man,
being adaptable creature soon accusto1ns himself
to the order of things and worries through the
allotted time with very little physical or mental dis
comfort The woman eats her heart out or wears
her life away with futile worry and dspair One re-
compense she has, however-she feels no degrade
ton. And to hear calumny and reproach heaped
upon the man, simply serves to strengthen her af-
lection for him.
Now and then when he thinks of it and when
his digestion is out Of order, the man writes the

IT is possible that the courts of Illinois will
revert to first principles and, paradoxcal as it may
seem, create precedent by prosecuting DIR. John
Alexander Dowie and one Of his satellites under the
old English common law. Within the past fortnight
two members OF Dr. Dowie's church have suffered
untold agonies and death because they believed It
to be against Christs teachings to call for medical
aid. The two victims were women-one died from
the result OF severe burns and the other from a
hemorrhage of the lungs and in both cases DR..
Dowe was fully cognizant of their serious condition
but nevertheless exerted all his influence with them
to prevent physician from being called.
Assistant States Attorney Frank Blair is
anxious to bring Dr. Dowie and one of the widowed
husbands to justice accessories to the crime of
suicide, but has been unable to discover nrecedont
on which they could be held responsible. The one
course open to the state is to prosecute the
Dowieites under the common law of England, npon
which the statutes Of this country are based
