The New JeweIry.

In one Of Hoyt's farces two charac'
ters, Reuben and Cynthia, used to come
out on the stage and sing to each Other
about the topics of the time and about
topics that were of no particular time,
but which offered the excuse of putting
words to music. One of them would
sing a verse and then the other would
reply in like strain. One of these
verses by Cynthia was as follows:
Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinkin'
What an awful thing 'twould be
If they took to burning diamonds
And sold coal for jewelry."
This was Reuben's response:
Cynthia, Cynthia, I've been thinkin'-
And know you'll take my word
Not one-half the population
Ever'd know it had occurred"
This passed for merely nonsensical
rhyme, No one ever thought coal
would be sold for jewelry, but that il
what is being done in Chicago these
days. A man stood at Adams and
Dearborn streets yesterday and offered
genuine black diamond stickpins" at
fifteen cents apiece. The "black dia
monds" were Jumps Of hard coal fast
ened to washed gold pins. The sale Of
these Jewels was brisk at times, and
scores Of men wore them in their era

characteristics OF Feet.

Scientists are always discovering
things in which we differ from the peo.
pie of Europe. The latest of these is
feet.
The French foot is narrow and long,
The Spanish foot is small and ele
gantly curved-thanks to its Moorish
blood-corresponding to the Castillan's
pride of being "high in the instep."
The Arabs foot is proverbial for Its
high arch. The Koran says that a
stream of water can run under the
true Arabs foot without touching it
The foot of the Scotch is high and
thick; that Of the Irish fiat and square,
the English short and fieshy.
When Athens was in her zenith the
Grecian foot was the most perfectly
formed and exactly pr0portioned Of
that Of any Of the human race. Swedes,
Norwegians and Germans have the
largest feet, Americans the smallest
Russian toes are "webbed" to the first
joint. Tartarian toes are all the sanl'
length.-Chicago Journal.

Don't Read at preakfast.

The appalling danger of reading tho
morning newspaper at the breakfast
table is set forth by the London Ian
Get as follows: 1T is the custom ol
many households to have the morn
ings post, including letters, newspa-
pers and circulars, placed upon the
breakfast table. The plan is convent
ent, but from a sanitary point OF view
it is appalling. 1t is undeniably dirty
practice. The sorter at the postofice
or the postman may not be as bacter-
iologically clean as is desirable The
dust of the road may adhere to any ex-
posed gum or the letters may be
dropped, and the bacteriology oi
road dust exhibits some well known

If a person were confined to ont
textbook. the best one to choose woulC
be a dictionary, since II gives an ink
ling OF every art, science or profession
known to mankind. A study OF the
dictionary is always interesting and in
structive, and simple turning OF it'
pages will acquaint us with man,
things OF which we have never pre-
viously heard. Notice what a fund o.
information is contained in the follow
ing definitions
Amphiscians are the people who in
habit the tropics, whose shadows IN
one part OF the year are cast to the
north and in the other to the south
according as the sun is north or south
OF their zenith.
The Antiscians are the inhabitants
of the earth living on different sides
of the equator, whose shadows at noon
are cast in contrary directions. Those
living north Of the equator are an
tiscians to those living south OF thai
line. and vice versa. The shadows on
one side are cast toward the north
and upon the other toward the south.
The Ascians are the people who live
in a land where, at a certain time oi
each year, they have no shadows al
noon. All the inhabitants Of the torrid
zone are Ascians, they having verti
cal sun twice year.
The Periscians are the inhabitants Of
the polar circle, whose shadows, dur

entirely around and fall toward every

Men who know say that the final score
Of both will dazzle the world. when all
is said and done.
Presumably, despite his weight of
years, the "canny Scot" is as alert to
affairs and as lightning-like in deci-
sion as Rockefeller, but he has cast all
business aside. and in No. 5 West
Fifty-frst street, New York, meets
men of affairs in the city and commit
tees from other cities and works only
to give. give and give.
In No. West Fifty-fourth street,
spends his leisure time hearing the
reports of man to whom he pays
$4,000 year to investigate concerns
worthy of assistance.
Carnegies early bent was church
organs. He began giving them away
In the early eighties, and no less than
100 churches in different parts of the
country received them. Then he took
up libraries, and hasn't dropped them
yet though he grew to university size
through many benefactions. to the
S10,000,000 endowment for Washing
ton. That greater still is contemplate
ed is only saying what has been proved
by his every step.
A careful calculation of all his
known benefactions shows them to
reach SAC 1852. This is outside OF
his private gifts, relief for worl1men,
cndowments for hospitals or subscrip-
tions to churches or charitable organ
izations.

tened intently, then abruptly asked
how much money was needed.
1.-TWO hundred thousand dollars"
said the friend, somewhat timidly.
Mr. Carnegie made a slight gesture
Of impatience. rs that all?" he said.
Don't bother me with such sums.
Tell me where | can spend millions
with lasting benefit to the people, and
| will listen.
In his benefactions the mind of
John ID. Rockefeller turns to churches
and educational institutions. Com
ing from a close communion Baptist
family. that church and its branches
have reaped vast benefits from such
affiliation. As an instance. his gifts
of more than s9,000000 to the Univer-
sity of Chicago may be cited. Again,
he promised four years ago to dupli-
cate every dollar raised for church
work by the Baptist City Mission of
New York. What this alone has
amounted to only Mr.. Rockefeller
knows, as his money has been spread
in mission and church work from
Harlem to Japan and India.
In recent years the sums he has
given have grown larger and larger.
and he is frequently the unknown
donor" when Yale, Harvard, Smith,
Columbia and such institutions issue
reports of endowments, or missionary
societies receive unexpected and pow
erful aid in pushing Bible teachings
in foreign lands. Despite the fact
that everything Rockefeller gives is
understood to be without publicity,
except in rare instances. authentic fig
ures have been gathered showing ben
efactions of more than $13,000,000.
This, according to men close to him,
is the smallest part OF what he has
done 1t is said he has given $5,000,-
600 alone to foreign missions. but as
to figures the beneficiaries are silent.
! His annual checks to organized char
| lty amount to a great sum, but there
also he prefers to remain an "un-
! known donor" as with hospitals and
] such worthy institutions.
Regarding Mr. Rockefeller's reti
cence respecting his benefactions, the
agent of a charitable institution that
was about to issue a publication went
to I vice president of the Standard
Oil company and asked his aid in OBJ
to ing a list of Rockefeller's benefac
| tons.
You can get that list only from
two sources" said the Standard Off
cial reflectively.
"Well?" said the agent hopefully.
Either from John d. Rockefeller ol

of the largest gifts ever bestowed 70

to the plans of it's president. DR.. Han

edge that Mr.. Rockefeller contem

and he is unlikely to falter now tina
