 Another thing I found to interest me in the ride across those plains was the distinct evidence of advancing prosperity. asked my acquaintance if he had noticed it.

 Do you see that farm house over there?" I asked, as we were nearing a rather pretentious building that might have contained eight or ten rooms. ''Now note the changes in the financial condition of that farmer. You can see it in the buildings. Back a little ways is the sod house that represented home to him and his family but a very few years ago. He was poor then, and came west to take advantage of the farm the government would give him. The small house of logs and lumber little this side of it represents the result of his first few years savings. A few good crops had advanced him to point be- yond the poverty he knew when he first settled in the country, and it is not

Large Imports of Precious stones.

This is busy season among im- porters of precious stones, and they are doing business this year that is unprecedented. Appraiser White head, of New York, says that the ap- praised value of precious stones inn ported through that port since Jan- nary l last was about $16,25O,00O. Of this sum fully $2.000,O0O was for im- ports since the beginning of August. This was far beyond the record of any previous year. All sorts of precious stones are included in these figures, but they are chiefly dia- monds, with pearls a good second on the list.-Jewelers' Circular.

EDEN WAS IN AUSTRALIA.
So Declares n German GeoIogIst Who Says Tint Country Alone FuI-
 nIIs Necessary Conditions.

The cradle of humanity has bec- lo- cated more than once. More than one anthropologist has staked out a little section of the globe and has said: This was Eden.'' But now another scientist has used certain premises as compass and certain theories as a chain, and has surveyed new portion of the world and has located a new nursery, states the Chicago Tribune.
 Australia is the new Eden and Prof. Schoetsensack, of Heidelberg, is it's discoverer. His conclusions were pre- sented to the Berlin Anthropologica society at a recent meeting. The methods by which they were reached are as interesting as the conclusions themselves.
 With this assumption fixed Prof. Schoetensack, with his knowledge of the various forms of life which existed at various times on the globe. began to count out the regions wHere it would have been impossible for man to have been nourished.
 America, Europe, Asia and Africa were quickly put out of consideration as there existed on these continents animals which would have destroyed every trace of human life in extremely short order.
 Life could not have been sustained at the northern and southern extrem- ities of the globe because of the cold. The brain of man at this time was not ,If h1o ff, discover fire, and he could not have warmed himself. The only place men could have existed where ferocious beasts lived would have been in the trees, and if they had led such life the result would be a four-handed in- stead of a two-handed race.
 Everyone of the scientific premises forces the conclusion that men were developed in some cline where the temperature was moderate, where food was easily obtained, and where life was not a continual struggle against animals superior physically.
 Such being the case, the anthropol- ogist finds but one place answering that description. That is Australia. At one time this may have had con- nection with southern Asia. Here man may have been nourished and de- veloped, he reasons. 1t is safe from carnivorous beasts which could threat en the existence of men.
 Such carnivorous animals as existed on the island or continent were too small to be danger. The dingo, or wild dog, now known to have existed there with prehistoric man, was not a dangerous foe. One of the marsu- pials was carnivorous, but it was neither large enough nor strong enough to have been danger at any time.
 There was an abundance of food easily procured, and the climate was tempered to weak race. There more easily than anywhere else the art of making fire might have been discoy- cred.
 Australia also lacks the dense for ests which might have produced an arr boreal race, but it is pointed out that the tall Australian trees would be cal culated to produce just such hands and feet as the human race actually has.
 All these theories have led Prof. Schoetensack to pronounce with posi- tiveness that Australia was the cradle of the race and that it was the garden of Eden.

TEACHING IN A GHETTO.

Model Chicago Flat In Which Girls
Will Learn to Keep House.
In the heart of the ghetto in Chicago
a model fiat has been established by
the Jewish Training school, and sew
enty-two girls. most of them between
the years of twelve and fourteen, will
undertake a course in housekeeping.
This novel enterprise has been es-
tablished under the patronage of Mrs.
Levy Mayer, who furnishes the means
necessary to carry it on, says the New
York Times. Mrs. Mayer has long APP
preciated the necessity for a better
knowledge of the housekeeping arts
among the poor families Of the ghetto,
and this project is the realization Of a
cherished dream. The model flat con-

sBoss Shepherd" to spend His Last
Years In Washington.
The friends Of Alexander B. Shep-
herd. more Familiarity known in the an
mails Of Washington as Boss Shep-
herd, are delighted that he will make
his home there for the rest of lis
days, says the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. Governor Shepherd began life
as a plumber in washington in part
nership with the late John w. Thomp-
son, and both amassed fortunes at the
business Shepherd, developing politi-
cal ability, got into the control Of the
District government and undertook the
business of reyamping Washington
from the old provincial, semicolonial
town that it was into a faint copy Of
the modern Paris His methods were
as direct and unsparing of those who
got in the way of them as those OF
Louis Napoleon. He had only two or
three years at it and in that time did
his work so thoroughly well that it has
gone on continuously since. Asphalt
pavements, tree planting, strict build
ing regulations. park improvements
and many other schemes for the deYel-
opment of the city have worked a tre-
mendous change in the Washington
known to millions who saw it before,
during and after the civil war.
Governor Shepherds administration
was naturally much criticised. Hum.

dreds Of men died before they could
pay off the heavy load of taxes which
his improvements placed on them, and
there are hundreds more living in
Washington today under the burden
which he put on them. AS a conse-
quence Of the feeling toward him Mr..
Shepherd exiled himself in Mexico.
When he returned to Washington
from Mexico ten years ago for a brief
visit, his friends organized a pageant
a mile or more long as tribute to his
personal work and a fitting expression
Of their regard for him. Mr.. Shepherd
has been in Mexico over twenty years,
developing large silver mines at Bato-
pilas The mines of late, it is said,
have become profitable, and Governor
Shepherd will be able to spend his last
years comfortably among his old
friends. He has retained his residence,
known as Bleak House, five miles
north of Washington, a beautiful coun-
try place bordering on Rock Greek
park, and there he will make his home.

when the woods Turn Green Again

When the WOODS Turn Green Again
There's a warm, warm wind comes from
the south
With promise and song
"A song that wells from rose Tipped
mouth {,
In cadence full and strong.
It whispers, whispers through the day
To the hearts of longing men
That the time is coming on the way
When the woods turn green again.
When the woods turn green in the sum
shines kiss
And dream DER the lazy pool,
Where the dappled shadows, hit and miss,
Sway slowly, dark and COOL
And the long, long dawnings bring the
tune
OF the robin, thrush and wren
Till they lullaby to the day held moon,
When the woods turn green again.
When the woods turn green. and the skys
rich hue
Takes a deeper, truer shade,
And the blood red peoples dot the view
In pattern God has made,
Then the song the south wind sings so
low
Will live on the hill and glen,
And its mellow notes into being grow
When the woods turn green again.

soldiers had not been able to keep back,
appeared before them. a. .-s..
The housch-begui, without more in
formation, made sign which was an
order for death, and the heads Of the
two prisoners would have rolled on the
ground had not Ogareff uttered a few
words which arrested the sword al
ready raised.
The Russian had perceived that these
prisoners were strangers, and he or
dered them to be brought up to him.
They were Harry Blount and Alcide
JoliYet.
! On Ogareff's arrival in the camp they
had demanded to be conducted to his
presence The soldiers had refused. In
consequence, a struggle, an attempt at
fight, shots fired which happily missed
the two correspondents, but their exc

Ichim in which Michael Strogof had
been struck by Ogareh, but the brutal
traveller paid no attention to the per-
sons then collected in the common
room.
Blount and JoliVet, on the contrary,
recognized him at once, and the latter
said in a low voice: Hello! It seems
that Colonel Ogareff and the rude per-
sonage of Ichim are one?'
