THE FE MINNIE FIB.
a Judicious Blend OF Black, White.
Gray and Chinese Lies.

A Judicious Blend of Black. White.
Gray and Chinese Lies.
A distinguished preacher once divid-
ed lies into BLACK lies, white lies. gray
lies and Chinese lies" The feminine
fb is generally a ju%dicious blend of the
white lie and the Chinese lie. For the
benefit of those who have never grad
uated in the special mendacity tripos it
may be explained hat a Chinese lie is,
as a rule. purely ornamental, being of
the nature of embroidery. which is in
tended to add beauty and color to the
plain object OH which 1t is used as
trimming.
The Chinese lie is prompted by the
very highest and noblest of motives
namely. a lesire to give pleasure to
others. many a plain, dull fact being
served up and made quite tasty and
appetizing by a little judicious garni-
ture of Chinese-er-embroidery. Di-
rected into be proper channel. a Chi
neSe liar becomes a Skillful writer of
fiction and turns her gift to profitable
account, But the everyday feminine
amateur. who has not this outlet for
her tarradiddular talent. turns her at
tentiOn to the afternoon tea table and
adds a spice to whatever gossip is 60
ing by a gentle peppering of fibs.
Unfortunately this gift of imagina-
ton is often accompanied by a defec-
tive memory. whereas to make a good
-er-prevaricator nothing is so essen
tial as a good memory. Without this
the employer of the Chinese method is
almost certain to get found out sooner
or later-generally sooner-and then
she has the modification of finding that
her little efforts to please quite fail In
their effect. And not only that: but,
what is more trying still. she even finds
that when from lack of material for
%ictional purposes she does for once
serve up the cold. ungarnished truth
her bearers have so got in the habit of
disbelieving her that her plain state
ment is received with incredulity. That
is why any one who aims at distinction
in the fibbing world must carefully Gull
tivate a good memory and so follow the
Golden Rule to avoid being found out.

DOES GOLD GRQW2
seems to, In Its wild State, but Not
After 1t Has Become Civilized.


Some reasons for answering this
question In the affirmative are given
byas"Popular Mechanics" which warns
the reader. however. that he must not
expect to grow gold eagles from dol,
lars. Says the writer:
ut has been found that gold nuggets
under favorable conditions actually in
creas in size. Gold is known to have
grown on mine timbers which have
long been immersed in mine water. In
the California State Mining Bureau
museum there Is a specimen Of q piece
OF jointed cap and post taken from the
Comstock, where it had been under
water for years. in which gold has
formed In the joints and pores Of the
wood. Gold is constantly being formed
In rocks and veins and placers. Just
what it is that the baby gold formation
feeds on to effect its growth is not
known. If it were, a new and wonder
fully lucrative industry might be born,
and all other kinds of farming save the
growing of gold might temporarily be
abandoned. The formation and growth
are due to mechanical and chemical ac-

vegetable the gold has existed In
some other state before assuming its
present form. Waters which p~ercolate
through the earth's crust are said to
contain substances from which gold is
formed. Thus gold, like the animal and
vegetable, must have water in order to
thrive The gold in the water is de-
posted when 1t meets the proper pre-
cipitant. The precipitant may be an
earth current of electricity, some vege-
table growth or chemical in the rocks.
1t has been claimed that the nuggets
found in placers are the formations
from the waters that percolate through
the gravels, and are not from decom
posed quartz, as generally supposed
Those who SO contend cite the fact
that In the center of nuggets can be
often found a small grain of iron sand
This was the nucleus around which the
earth current of electricity created or
deposited In e~lectroplating. During
long ages this influence was at work
causing the gold to form around the lit
tie grain of iron ore and then grow to
become a bright, shining nugget O!
gold much larger and purer thar any
ever found in the veins of ore"

Messrs. King and Moir were ap-
pointed a committee on constitution
and bylaws. A meeting will be held
court hous and a permanent organi-
cation will be effected and officers
elected. All of the instruments used

Since the band disbanded the mu-

fine advertisement for the progress
siveness of a town. and all Roswell

a pound, while cream of tartar. costs
thirty. The quality of the powder

OVERRIDING Earnestness

Half measures are said to have gone
out Of fashion, for in our play as in
our work, we are accused Of being too
much in earnest. Our hobbies and re-
creations become crazes: the cure is
often more disastrous in its effects than
the disease: indeed, medical men are
beginning to hesitate before prescribing
a course Of fresh air treatment for their
patients. We overdo everything-golf
motoring, boating-and a cure which
might do us untold good If embarked
upon gradually, becomes an added dam
ger by reason of our very enthusiasm.
Half the people going have not the
least conception of how to spend a sem
sible holiday, says Woman's Life. Those
who lead sedentary lives will spend a
vacation walking, cycling or mountain
eering, mapping out each day with no
regard to their inequalities after a
year of inaction. 1t is, nowadays, O
real pleasure to come across a man OF
a woman who understands the art OF
'1azing'' to perfection, and he or she il
is whose temper is a desirable quality
during holiday
