Coiorins of Precious Stones.

Modern chemistry has produced
such changes i'll the color.nGS &. many
OF our stones and minerals that it is
possible to initiate many OF them and
improve upon nearly IL. Any cOlored
onyx can be obtained by simple chem
ical processes, and the common dull
colors of this stone can be converted
into brilliant hues, thus greatly in-
creasing the value. Not only can the
whole stone be made to change its color,
but sections and lines of j, can be made
to assume a red, black, yellow or white
color, while the rest is pure white or
black. ASateS are easily converted
into an onyx like substance and char
acter which lapidaries use for canoes
and intaglios. Altogether, our chem
ical treatmentof some of the abundant
stones and minerals has not only wild
ened and developed the resources OF
the country. bur it has made it possible
for the poor to possess good limitations
of jewels which at one time We're con-
Sidered almost priceless. - Scientific

Where Rock Crystals Are Found.

There are a number of well defined
regions in this country where rock
crystals are found, and mining for
them is carried on with more or less
regularity most of the time. But the
most remarkable ones have been found
by chance rather than by any definite
clew as to their whereabouts. One of
the we'll defined regions where quartz
crystals have been found in the past
dozen years is at Hot Springs, Col, on
the banks of the Ouachita. a remark
able feature about these stones is that
they are so worn by the tide and cur
rent that they are round like pebbles.
In most cases they are very clear crys-
tails. and they are of fair value. Some
have been cut and sold for good prices

Longest English Word.

Which is the longest word in the
English language? The controversy
OH this subject may break out afresh
over Il note of DR.. Murray's in "The
Oxford English Dictionary.' He
points out that 'incircumscriptable
ness and orificabilitudinity' both
contain twenty-five letters. says the
London News. But these are beaten
by Il word coined. or at least first used,
by DR.. Benson. the late Archbishop of
Canterbury. "AntidseSta blshmen

as the alphabet viz. twenty-siX. We
think, however, We can 60 one better
than this. For each OF the above
words an authority is given. But if
"honorifica bilitudinity" be allowable
why not ''honorifica abiliaudinarians? 2"
This has twenty seven letters and four

word used somewhere. After all if il

An interesting case of witchcraft
pra cticed a few months ago has come
10 light. A native named keOla, EN-
ployed by w. D. Alexander, felt the
grasp of hand upon his throat one
night and after a desperate struggle
secured his release. He recognized the
witch as the wife of Pele, who lived
near by, and who had considerable rep
utatiOn as a kahuna.
1t was admitted that the body Of The
woman was asleep at the time, but the
native went to Pele and boldly accused
the wahina of attempting his life. The
kahuna. husband of the accused wom-
an. was called upon to try the case.
Using a pack of cards, he pronounced
his wife guilty. She, seeing she had a
fair trial, accepted the verdict in ST.
lence. Ii therefore remained for the
kahuna to kill the spirit and thus pre-
vent further injury.
The kahuna prescribed the remedy,
which consisted of three panoo fish.
freshly taken from the sea. five joints
of red sugar cane of the variety called
kO uwala and some flowers Of the
hoia or auhuhu shrub. She was made
to ear the sugar cane, together with
the auhuhu flowers. after which she
took the fish and approa ching The
junction of two roads without looking
back, she dropped the fish behind her
and passed on leaving them for the
kahuna to recover. Fish are consid-
cred Il great delicacy and eaten raw
by the natives. Peace was thus re-
stored and the relations of the chief ac.
tors again became friendly.

TEA BAD AS WHISKY
Scientists Say It Produces the Same
Effect Upon the Nerves.

There are scores OF good temperance
people who are the most incorporate
tpplers IN the world. They don't know It
and they would be Mortified at the
suggestion. Nevertheless It IS true. Their
stimulant isn't whisky, TO be sure. But
Il is tea, which scientists now say IS quite
as injurious TO the system as IS alcohol
The final effect OF any st1mUlant on the
human body IS deleterious. II may be
coffee. opium. hashish, cocoa, betel-nut
aIconol or tobacco. but its tnvariable rule
Is to produce an exhnaration followed by
q corresponding depression This condi-
ton represents the burning up. the COM
bustion Of nerve force Tea belongs in
the same category Us alcohol and tobacco
ANY tea drinkers declaration that he
or she cant get along without that cup
OF tea" proves it. There is not single
food property about the drink II simply
acts as a SPUR TO the nervous system. and
ia order 60 get the desired response there
must be a constantly Increasing dose. By
and BY. the system becoming overloaded
with the poison. the stimulation can no
longer be produced and the victim be-
comes q nervous wreck

lie never thought Of using It as a bsver-
age. But it was sold By druggists as
medicine. which finally came TO be adopt

WOMEN WHO POSE AS MEN
SIX Distinct Instances in Which
They Have Married.

II Is no longer uncommon for women
to pose as men. Within the past year, in
the United States alone, death has dis
closed the real sex Of six women who
had successfully masqueraded as men,
had married, and in some instances
actually posed as fathers
Probably the most remarkable OF these
cases and one that attracted the most at
tention was that OF Murray Hall
he, OF rather she, was a prominent pol
itician, took an active part In all the in
terests Of the ward heller, smoked,
drank and had the reputation OF being
quite a gallant Among her friends were
leading New York men, and until her
death no one even dreamed Of the real
state Of affairs

Y, died suddenly. and the amazed friends

Novelties for the
Children to Wedr

II one cannot afford these there are
pretty serge coats, or even less expensive
ones Of Bedford cord, which have very
much the same effect. A great many have
removable collars, and the clever mother
can substitute others Of embroidery.
Some Of the coats are made with no
collars at all. and slip on easily over
dresses, with rufiies and large collars.
Perhaps the prettiest and coolest is the
coat Of white linon, straight and simple,
with a circular collar of lnon. appliQUed
with medallion motifs.
While fashion DEGREES plainness and
extreme simplicity for children, the baby
must have frills and furbelows; II not

colors.
One Of the most attractive long baby
coats has a silk lining and three or more
muslin capes with very deep hens and
great deal Of hand embroidery.
Wrappers for the baby should be Of
white henrietta or cashmere, with deli
cate colOred India silk The more ex-
pensive ones are embroidered with flowers

Crimes Caused by

B G. Krause, who strangled his mother has
served to recall ether instG noes on record
( in the history OF medical jurisprudence
{ where crimes have been connected with
dreams ana hallUcinations-
One Of the oldest cases Of the kind Is
that Of the English gamekeeper who was
killed by his son. Both were guarding
from poachers the preserves on which
they were employed, when the son.

Ting a poacher. He was tried and convict
ed, but later was pardOned on the ground
that, because he did not know what he
was doing, there was no criminal intent
to the action.
Marc, the noted English alienlst, tells
5of the famous case Of a peddler who fell
asleep on the highway, having by his side
a sword cane which he carried as a pro-
lection against robbers. A traveller in
passing stopped to arouse him, thinking
he might be either IN or intoxicated. The
peddler sprang up and stabbed him 70
death with the sword cane. He was con-
fvicted at his trial, although he pleaded
that he did not know what he was about
when he committed the act

s bernard Schedmaizeg. Attacked by a
phantom Al a dream he struck at it with
a Ratchet and awoke to find that he had
murdered his wife, who was the reality
Of the phantom with which he had strug-
gled. He was acquitted OF the charge Of
murder, the jury In this case accepting
the plea that he had done it uncOn-
s sciously.
