also the property of imparting precisely
the characteristic color of genuine

fuchsine is the handsomest ruby red

Such fraud. however. can be made
still more complicated by using genuine
of colored rubies. sapphires or emer
aids and dyeing them with the CORE
spending aniline dyes, thereby raising
their value tenfold. 1t Is exceedingly
difficult to recognize this fraud because
the color of such n well corrodcd jewel
can no longer be washed on even with
hot water. Only the bleaching power
OF sunlight might after time assist in
revea ling the swindle.

Doing Their Arithm etic.

Children believe SO confidently what
they hear that II they do not hear ac-
curately their minds sometimes run
into queer fancies. A well known pro-
fessor remembers that when he was a
child he sang GLORY. glory, had new
year." for GLORY, glory, halleluiah"
A story of similar childish misunder-
standing of sound is told by u Sunday
school teacher.
The infant class was reciing the
Christmas lesson. Six-year-old Harold
was called upon to tell the story Of the
Sayiour's birth.
"Well.e he began. 1.-THE shepherds
were out one night doing their arithme-
tic when the angels came
But stop. Harold" interrupted the
puzzled teacher. land tell me what you
mean by that"
well" replied Harold. II don't see
how they could do arithmetic in the
dark. but that's what they were doing
Now think. Harold" said the teach
er. land tell the story as nearly as you
can In the words of the Bible
So Harold began again: lone night
the shepherds were dividing In the
fields
Abiding" had sounded to his ear like
dividing" and dividing was doing
their arithmetic"

The great railway combinations and
their agents will find way to strike
back at President Roosevelt for his
courageous efforts To enforce the Sher-
man antitrust law, says the Spokes-
man-Reyiew. They have learned that
they cannot fiatter. wheedle or intim-
date him from his path Of duty. They
understand that he will enforce the
law II 1t can be enforced, and they
will work Systematically to prevent
his denomination II he should aspire
to a second term. President Roose-
Welt In the White House is not to their
liking, and they will groom their own
candidate for his successor. This
work will be done with guarded
hand and much cunning. The agents
OF monopoly, knowing well the presi-
dental power, Will fawn on Mr.. Roos-
evelt while he is In Office will pretend
to be his friends while lingering the
stiletto, and all the while they Will be
secretly conspiring to defeat him In
the national convention. But there
Is reason To believe that this menace
will not influence President Roosevelt,
who will go resolutcly forward In the
courageous performance OF his duty,
even though 1t should be plain that
by SD doing he will lose the honor OF
denomination.
