Thou wilt look on all love
 weed their hearts of wsariness; Scatter every care
 Down a wake of angel-wings WinnowinE the air. Bring unto the sorrowing All release from pain; Let the lips of laughter Overflow again.
 And with all the needy o divide, pray.
 This vast treasure4of content That is mine today!
 It looks as if the pleasure of wear ing real gems is to be invaded by the successful imitation of them, which in- creases with the advance of science.
 Among the precious stones few are SO extensively initiated as the pearl says London Answers
 The real article Is a silvery white iridescent gem, extracted from the pearl oyster. The genuine pearl Is really an unfructihed egg of the oys- ter.
 Its imitation is arrived at by a chem ical process. The liquor employed in the manufacture is called "essence d'Orient." The base of this compound Is prepared by throwing into water of ammonia the brilliant scales of & small rlver nsn caued the play.
 The scales are first carefully washed and put to soak in water, when the pearly like film falls away and forms a sediment at the bottom of the vessel. This sediment Is worth to the fnanu- facturer pounds an ounce.
 White wax of mucilage or gum ara bio forms part of the mixture proper for the more important and expensive limitations, such as those made to iml- tate the rare Oriental pearls. which fetch fabulous prices.
 The emerald is another stone which is cleverly initiated. A perfect emer- aid is the rarest stone in the world. though the trade ranks 1t after the ruby and the diamond. The best em- eralds come from Peru. the limitations from France and a few from Birming- ham. The real article becomes elee- tric by friction, and herein lies the difference between it and the imita- tion.
 The following has been lettered on a sofa pillow:
 It is easy enough to be pleasant
 When life flows along like a song, But the man that's worth while Is the man that will smile
 When everything goes dead wrong.
 College boys spend one-seventh of their money for clothes; college girls one-quarter of theirs. So reports pr. Bailey. of the Yale faculty. in q report on the cost of the higher education.
 Yale men average about as great ex- penditure per year as Vassar and Smith maids. Perhaps somewhat more if the very rich ones are included.
 A part of what they save on clothes goes into tobacco and drinks" which call for from 1 to 5 per cent of their money. After a football game this sometimes seems an underestimate.
 College men buy four times as many magazines and newspapers as college women. At least they say they do.
 "Co- educational" women students at Yale spend only about half as much women at Vassar, and even a little less than the men. Now why is that?--Efx- change. Many touching incidents have been related of the present President of France in his relations to his mother. He has never risen so high that he has felt ashamed of the simple peas ant woman who is so very proud to call him her dear son.
 The private secretary of President ASOuOOb tOA0 N10 VI OIlc OI ITCQutnL visits to his mother" says Vance Thompson in Everybody's Magazine. "It was between two stormy sessions of the Chamber of Deputies. I sup | pose the destiny of France hung in the balance, for, in fact, the destiny of France always does hang in the bal ance. In the peaceful interval Loubet slipped down to Marsanne and walked out to the farm. The good dame was in the huge, brick-foored kitchen. | kneading the bread for the fortnight ly baking. She flung her doughy arms around his neck and kissed him.
 Really. mother said the President. you should give over this heavy work, "'And trust some slatternly maid. cried the old dame, no, no-but I ad- | init it is not so easy as it used to be. ,
 "'Well. today you must trust me, her son said. so sit down and fold your hands and talk to me-
 He took off his coat, rolled up his shirt sleeves and kneaded the bread while the good mother told him the news and gossip of the farm. This Is the sort of thing that Emile Loubet would do quite naturally. Lincoln l might have done it. too. Having kneaded the bread, Monsieur Loubet returned by special train to Paris and went on saving France" l All our comforts are comparative. When the pioneer women of this coun- try had a good iron-pot. a carpet of rags that they had woven themselves and a few shining tin pans, they con- sidered themselves to be envied.
 Now behold what the New York Press shows as the petition of dissat- isied women in the following article:
 We pray thee, o Yankee ingenuity. to give us: A window shade that rolls up straight, window shade roller that stops winding when the tassel reaches the pole, a window sash that doesn't rattle when the wind blows, a rug that won't turn up at the edges a silver service that will not tarnish. door hinges that won't creak, door locks with spring latches which yield to their keeper without the constant assistance of soap. a bunch of keys that will not rust, milk bottles that will clean themselves, garbage pails that will defy white wings and the porter, steam heaters that won't stink, gas tips that won't clog and fish tall, a griddIe that won't smoke. a clock that keeps time.
