LITTLE KIRMET ROOSEVELT
NOW A PUBLIC SCHOOL PL

Washington Sept 2S.-President
Roosevelt has set an example to the
parents of the land by sending his boy
Kirmet to public school. Just like any
other healthy American boy. the little
son of the President went whistling
from the White House yesterday,
mounted his bicycle and with his
brand-new books under his arm went
whirling off to his lessons. Arrange
ments had been made on Thursday for
his entrance at the Force School.
This school is on Massachusetts ave
nue.. in the neighborhoOd of the homes
Of four of the Cabinet officers, and ex-
actly opposite the residence of Wayne
MacVeagh. 1t was into a crowd of lit
tie boys and girls who we're pressing
for admittance that Kirmet threw
himself. His newness was noticed,
and he was at once piled with many
Juvenile questions.
Whats your name?" demanded a
youngster who lowered three inches
above him, and whose sleeves showed
q repugnance to assOciating with his
wrists Kirmet looked him over from
head to foot and then said, with a
shade Of defiance: whats yours2"
Jimmy Wright" affably responded
the other, who was only desirOus of be-
ing companionable.
well, then" said the Presidents
son, slowly, my name is Kirmet

startle the world, and that he would be
able to bear the penalty with fortitude.
He did not reckon with his own cow

indeed. but now that he faces his fate,

Sure lest for Ruhjes

The following may seem outlandish,
but the Wayfarer is convinced OF the
consistency and reliability of the test
for rubies:
The best way to test ruby is to
get steel file or a piece OF hard
Quartz and try to scratch the gem. If
you succeed the stone is not genuine.
Such a test with a topaz, however, Is
likely to injura a valuable stone.
The test is no good with emeralds,
for though that stone is harder than
lquartz,it it possesses tine quality ofcrack-
ing easily. For both rubies and emer-
aids the optical test is best and object
ed to strenuously by the person whose
iewelry you ere examining. A glass
which magnities about hundred
times should be used. Almost every
lpreciOus stone has little flaws, and
rubies and emeralds as a rule have
many defects which are so characters
/ tic that they can easily be detected by
a person with a little experience in
such matters. With rubies such test
is always deceptive. Imitation rubies
are made with a color that not only is
absolutely durable. but which is even
finer than most of the genuine stones,
lalthough it may be said that slight
lye.lowish tint is always suspicious. 1t
lis by no means conclusive, however.
The only trustworthy way in which
genuine rubies can be told from the
imitation is by the minute air bubbles
of the latter which become clearly
visible through the magnifying glass.
The genuine stone 1acks these air
bubbles. but. on the other hand, posses
les certain defects which are wanting
in the imitation. These are certain
minute vacuums whose outlines are
less distinct than those of the all
bubbles in the imitation stone. The
trained eye can readily detect the diff
ference between an air bubble and a
a vacuum and thus decide upon th'
question of genuineness in the stone
The emerald also has certain charac-
. teristic defects which are lacking in
the imitation stone and can readily bt
b detected by the expert with a magni.

As to Shipping Subsidies
rom the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
In discussing the subject of subsidies
to shipping. attention is called to the
fact that the late President Mckinley
never specifically recommended sub
eidics in his messages to Congress.
Neither we believe, did the Republican
national platform of last year. Aid to
American shipping Is susceptible of a
wider construction, and one more in
accordance with the dictates of sound
craftsmanship. Than Is to be found in
the payment of millions of gratuities
TO steamship companies already pie
thOric in capital and prosperous to an
unprecedented extent in legitimate
buainess. The Hanna-Frye project,
as we are Inclined to believe, is dead
beyond the hope of resurrection. The
attempt to revive 1T in a less objection
able form. however, will probably be
made at the next session of Congress:
but it is hardly likely to receive the
united support of the Republicans
there unless essential changes are
made in its construction. and IL may be
expected to encounter scrutiny at the
hands of President Roosevelt also.

SHOULD STAND AT THE HEAD
OF THE TEMPERANCE COLI

As grower of fruit this State should
stand in the foremost rank of the
States in which the consumption of al
coholic drinks is comparatively small,
at least if the theories advanced by ex-
perts on such subjects count for any
thing.
Chemical analysis assigns practically
no nutritive value to juicy fruits, as
they consist of but little more than a
sac containing a solution OF sugar, the
amount varying from seventeen per
cent. as with grapes, to about one
quarter per cent as with lemons. The
amount Of'water contained in fruit is
surprising. In watermelons it is 80
per cent. in strawberries, 80 per cent. I;
in lemons, 80 per cent; in peaches, SO
per cent; oranges, Sc per cent; pears,
"a per cent; nectarines, SO; apples, 80
per cent; grapes and p.ums, 80 per
cent. not a fruit in the entire list con-
tanning less than 80 per cent. Of sugar.
The conclusion. in view of these facts
must be that fruit plays an important
partin the dict as a thirst quencher. 1t
is certain that when fruits form an i'm
portant part in the diet that the crav-
ing for drink of any kind is noticeably
lessened, as they appear to be en-
dowed with an inimitable flavor which
is ample inducement to imbibe liquid
in this wholesome form.
The question in many persons minds
as to what to drink and how to drink
it might therefore be answered on
sound reasoning, eat plentifuLy OF
sound, ripe, juicy fruit. 1t is a fact be-
yond dispute that as fruit enters large
ly into the diet that the indulgence
in and craving for alcoholic beverages
is greatly diminished Constant drink
ers are rarely if ever great fruit eaters
and vice versa. Hence it is more whole
