Pearls as Birthday Presents.

The fashion Of presenting a pearl to
mark the occasion Of each birthday
anniversary is pretty idea in addi-
ton to being a sensible investment
From childhood the three daughters
OF the king and queen have each birth
day received single beautiful pearl
from their parents. This idea has
been followed by numbers of society
mothers well endowed with this

Wears a Queens Crown.

When Jay Gould as young man
was wandering about the country try
ing to sell books the queen CT Spain
was wearing as her crown the valu
able possession which now often
graces the head of the book canvass
er's daughter. When Queen Isabella
was exiled she carried with her most
of her jewels. One of these was a
crown set with some of the finest
diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sap
phires in the world. A few years age
a Spanish grandee, known as the
Prince Drago, came to America. His
sole fortune consisted of the gorgeous
crown which had belonged to his
grandaunt. The imperial bauble was
offered for sale and was eventual!
bought by the Goulds for S125,ooO. II

Makes Artificial Thunder.

Prof John Trowbridge Of Harvard
University says that some recent ex-
neriuents he has made in the Jeffer,
son Physical laboratory show that
"the astounding noise Of a lightning
discharge is largely due to the disso,
citation of water varor," through the
EXPLOSION of the hyrogen and oxygen
cases nroduced by such dissertation.
In his mimic lightning experiments
Prof Trowbridee produced 4 torrent
Of huge electric sparks. TIE noise OF
the discharge was so great that the
o,cr,tor had to stop his ears with cot
ton and then wrap heavy cloth
around them.

IGNORANCE IN BRITISH GUIANA.
Indian Woman Falls Victim to
Heather Superstition.


Heathen Superstition.
A CHASTITY tale Of heather supcrsti-
ton was recently unfoldcd at the
criminal session of the supreme court
Of Georgetown, British Guiana, when
the chief priest and medicine man"
Of the Wapishara tribe of Carib InGi-
ans was charged with instigating the
murder of an Indian woman named
Kaliwa, who was in ill-health. The
priest, who was consulted. recon-
mended that she should be stung Wit,
ants and marabuntas. This was duly
carried out. But kaliHa continued
to pine away, and the priest Was again
consulted, with the result that he said
she had been possessed OF an evil
spirit in the shape CT canodiO
snake, and that the only means Of
dispossessing her was by burning her
alive. The woman was thCreupOn
pyre, which the husband OF the woman
lit. When examined in court ,Tcruna
said he loved kaliwa, but unless he
had done what the priest told him he
would have been afflicted with the
same malady, ard SO would all the
village. The jury returned verdict
of guilty, with strong recommends
ton to mercy, ard the priest was sen
fenced to death Immediately atte--
ward, however, TIE governor granted a

MOVEMENTS OF GLACIERS.
Immense Sections Are Swept Thou
sands of Miles Into the
Atlantic Ocean.

Think Of sections bigger thaa Rhode
Island being torn from a glacier and
swept off in the ocean to be ferried
1000 miles on the bosom of the Lab
rador current until the heated waters
of the gulf stream cause them to van
ish from human ken! Then can one
form some idea of the immensely Of
the ice area discharged from the
Greenland seas each year. Thousands
Of miles of valley are constantly
emptying their contents into the bays
and 1ords Of the north waters whence
the tides hurry the detachments south
ward to cumber the wide Atlantic, says
Leslie's Magazine.
The disposition of icebergs to turn
turtle is one Of their most dangerous
propensities. 1t arises from several
causes. When they start out from
Greenland their bottoms are heavy
with the detritus gathered in their
glacial period and this drops of at in
tervals as they move south, causing
their center Of gravity to change and
the berg to assume new positions. The
scientific theory Of the formation Of
the vast submarine plateaus which ex-
tend from Labrador to Fundy and are
commonly known as the Grand Banks
Of Newfoundland, is that they are the
products Of the deposits Of bergs dur
ing countless ages.

SAYS JAPs ARE scoRNFUL.
Writer Claims That Mikado's Sub
jects Believe Themselves the
Teachers of Mankind.

A realization that Japan believes It
self to be the twentieth century teach
er of mankind may prepare the west
to understand why the mikado's sub
jects, despite their reassuring smiles,
ceremonial phrases and prostrations,
are inspired by a pride which in real
ity scorns even a comparison with
races of the west, writes Harold Bolce,
in Booklovers Magazine. 1t is ex-
tremely difficult for people who have
not entered into commercial relations
with Japan to understand this uncom-
promising conviction of superiority
which Asiatics, and particularly the
Japanese, entertain. The people of ia
pan point out that the Jew, as the cho-
sen of God, had his day. The Anglo
Saxon-the blonde beast" Of modern
conquest-has been having his unbri-
died career of dominion. 1t is now the
turn of the finer-grained oriental, who,
having developed an enlightened cos
mopolitanism purged of every faint OF
provincial prejudice, and owing its in
spiration to a mikado who traces his
lineage to a god, is to march forth with
a message not only to the eastern con-
tinent, but to all mankind.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

Iron-Bearing Plants.

Experiments are under way at the
agricultural psychological station at
Vienna. Austria, to increase the quantity
of iron carried in certain plants, with
view to the effect on the human system
when those plants are used as food.
Artifcially prepared foods containing
iron do not always produce the desired
effect, because the iron is not complete
ly assimilated. This difficulty. it is
thought, may be avoided by causing
plants to take up an increased quantity
Of iron during their natural growth. By
adding hydrate of iron to the soil IN
which 1t was growing, the experimenters
have succeeded in producing spinach
containing a percentage Of iron seven
times as great as that found in ordinary
spinach. 1t is believed that the process
will prove successful with other fer
ruginous plants.-Science

CONCERNING SUMNER SHOE
Smart Styles That Are Now Being
Worn by Fair Devotees
Of Fine Dress.

Shoes are conspicuous this year by
reason of the short skirts, and the
woman Of the season is INDUCING in a
variety Of shoes, one pair for each
costume. There are shoes for every
occasion and each pair of shoes seems
prettier than the last. says the Brook
Ign Eagle. One of the neatest pair
Of Hes recently seen was made in q
golden brown shade, with Cuban heels.
These are little higher than the mill
tary and q little lower than the Span
ish. They are very neat and display
the instep charmingly. Hosiery to ex-
actly match the shoes was worn and
there were stockings with web so filmy
as to seem more like lace than like
stockings.
But the smartest thing Of all is the
summer girls pumps. These are cut
on precisely the same lines as q mans
dancing pumps-yery low-and are
worn without string or button. These
pumps come in tan leather, in Rus
STA, In patent leather and in all sorts
Of suede glazed and unglazed.
There is more and more OF a ten
dency to wear the very low tie and the
low shoe that is fastened with a big
buckle in the front. The colonial slip
per is well known and 1t is revived
this year and is worn with and without
the tall tongue. Then there is the low
tie with just three lace holes instead
Of dozen. There is also the tie which
is cut high In the back and low in the
front, and which is extremely smart
for out-of-door wear.
For the house, as dancing slipper,
great variety Of ties are worn.
There are ties with strappings across
the front, and there are shoes that
have fancy fastenings Of buckles and
buttons. There are oddities In jet
dancing shoes and there are dainty
pretty little things in satin with con-
trasting buckles and bows.
