Mr. Dudley Grote. a prominent Jewel

ionable world with pearl famine. IF
all the pearls in the oceans were to be
brought to the surface and offered for

market would not be flooded. nor
would the demand for the delicate
white Jewels be satisfied. There has
been q steady increase i'll the demand
for pearls during the past few years,
apd an accompanying falling of in the
supply. The cost has gone up more
than one realizes. and l think is still
below the high-water mark.
Since 1890 the price of pearls has

Presentation Annually Made

That in our country the Bible is
considered particularly At for SOL
diers to study appears in the custom
of giving a Bible TO each West Point
cadet This custom was started by
society of ladies organized for the
purpose. Every year the graduating
class of cadets is gathered in the
chapel, someone makes an address,
and the Bibles are presented This
year the ceremony took place on
March Is, and the presentation ad-
dress was made by Capt A T. Ma
han. He told the cadets that the es-
sential character of the good soldier
and that OF the good Christian were
very closely allied; that war realizes
in an extreme form the conduct OF all
life, and that even in peace the de-
cisive military virtues are essentially
the principal Christian virtues. He

JAPs DON'T WORRY ABOUT COLD
Almost No Attempt Made in Winter to
Keen Warm.


Although the Japanese winter is
most trying on account of the con
tinued dampness. the Japanese are
content to remain cold They make
almost no effort to overcome it. The
old chivalrous idea of the "samurai'
feel cold and such is their severe
training that they do not really feel
it as we do. The wearing of some
extra "kimonos'' and the use OF
"hibachi" or brazier in which are
few tiny sticks OF lighted charcoal are
the only concessions to winter
weather. With the '.hibachi" they
never pretend to heat more than their
finger tips. which they hold over the
Goals. 1t is used when the house is
entirely open. The houses, are every
one knows. are built of thin. light
wood. and the sliding panels which
serve for doors and windows have pa
per panes. They are as apt to be open
as closed during the day
The coolies wear thin blue cotton
clothes and are always padding
through the mud. The storekeepers
sit out in their open booths and the
women 60 bareheaded about the
streets In the houses OF the rich the
still cold behind the closed panels is
often more intense than that outside

ed if the white women who marry
Indian men We're called buck women,
We could not answer why they We're
not. Such d name would be more in
sulting to woman than the first ap-
pellatiOn is to a man. All India
women are no more sQuawS than
white women are wencheS. The name
squaw emanated from 'sQua. an In
dian word Of a Massachusetts tribe
meaning woman. but it has since
come TO be used commonly by Hitter
ate people for Indian women of any
tribe. No educated or refined people
use the words 'sQuaw' or buck and

hear them not to pay any attention to
the speaker but to mark him or her

The United States expends $1,000

disabled regular soldiers. There are
$4,000 s"sabled soldiers in the volun

Then Congress extended the national
home system and the states took up
the work, until now nearly all OF the
disabled volunteers and regulars who
are not cared for in their own homes
or in the homes of relatives are COM
