BEAUTIFYING A STATE.
One Californian Bought Beautiful
Birds and Let Them Loose in
Country Around Pasadena.

Whenever l see any of these propa-
gandas for identifying a city," said
Senator Perkins, Of California, the 9TH
er night, according to the New York
Times, Il always think of the work
done to beautify the state of California
by citizen of Altadena, which is hard
by Pasadena. The mans name is An
drew McNally, and when he came to
California there were few birds at Alta
dena, and those few were hardly what
we would call beautiful. McNally made
up his mind that the land needed birds.
so he built him an aviary and imported
many hundreds of his feathered friends.
Once year he would open the doors of
his aviary and let the young birds fly
whithersoever they would, and in
short time, the whole country was popu-
lated with feathered creatures of every
variety of hue and song. His example
was followed by Joseph Grinnell and
Mrs. Grinnell, both of whom are ardent
ornithologists, so that now the country
around Pasadena is a garden spot for
birds of beautiful plumage. Many of the
birds that were imported came from
Japan and China. So you see there are
more ways than one of identifying q
city or a state"

PERSIAN GEMS MORE COSTLY.
Fine Turquoise stones from the Mines
of NishapOOr Are Becoming
Scarcer and Bearer.

The turquoise gems, the finest exam
pies of which are produced from the
mines of Nishapoor, are, probably from
some change in the fashion of the west,
becoming dearer in price and, in
Teheran and neighborhood, more diff
cult to find. According to Vice Consul
General Tyler, at Teheran, says the
Washington Star, much of the value of
the stone depends or its shape, the OBJ
long being considered the most appro-
pirate; on its freedom from spots or dis
coloration, however small in size; on its
age, when the color has settled down
into its final hue mot the superficial
variations or sympathetic changes, but
its really permanent shade); but more
than all on its actual color, whether
fresh from the hands of the lapidary or
sedate from long wear. Choice, taste
and fashion largely determine the pref
erence of one shade or another, but the

Of its native skies, is the highest quality

HINDOO CHILD WIVES.
Their Existence, from Cradle to
Grave, Is One of Unspeaknble
Horror and Degradation.

A Hindoo grandmother, with a red
sahree drawn close around her, told her
life's story recently to 100 Chicago
mothers who had gathered in a little
room in Handel hall to hear it.
1t was story that might have been
told in Nero's court while Christians,
burning like candles in their jackets of
tar, were Illuminating the gardens-it
might have been told then because the
flames would have made perfect setting
for the story of Sukhiva Vannerjee. This
Hindoo grandmother's hair was as black
as ebony and her eyes were the eyes of
youth with the fire of hope burned out.
The mothers who heard her story were
white-haired, many of them.
Twenty-one years ago Sukhiva Van
nerjee was married. She is now q years
old. The man who took as his bride a
girl of six was over 80, was prosperous,
and belonged to midas high caste, as did
the child WIFE
The woman told her story in broken
English. Now and then she was prompt
ed by Miss Josephine Holmes, a Los
Angeles woman who brought her to
this country to arouse sympathy in
America in the movement to abolish the
child wife practice in India.
Here is the story that Sukhiva Vanner-
lee told:

Useless Fire Ez.inruisbers

Scores of costly fire extinguishers and
hundreds of fire buckets are picked up

of the insurance patrol They are all
rendered worthless by neglect. Acids
which enter into the formulate of most
patent extinguishers eat away the tin
coverings, and there is nothing to be
done except to destroy the apparatus
because it becomes peril in itself. The

COLONIZING CANADA.
What Persistent Advertising Has
Done for the NOrthwest-GrOw-
Ing Flax on "a Large Scale,

Some five years ago the Canadian gov
eminent did strenuous advertising
throughout the cities of the United
States with a view of disabusing the
peoples minds of the idea that western
Canada was a waste of frost and snow.
The government caused free lectures to
be given, established bureaus from
which large quantities of literature
about Canadian possibilities in the way
of farming and home making were is
sued and gave exhibitions of agricul-
tural products at state and county fairs.
The farmers of the middle west in
particular emigrated in large numbers,
with the result that an American in
vasion of Canada began, and continued
so steadily as to produce what recent
writer has called the characterization
of Canada"
One of the most noticeable results of
the invasion is shown in the introduce
tion of flax growing on a large scale.
The Canadians thought it unwise to at
tempt the cultivation of that grain, as
they believed it hard on the land and a

But, after all, it's just a dance-some

We know the office seeks the man, an that
is why we never fail
To try to hit upon plan to leave mighty

You worry when the agent calls to get his
little monthly rent,
His heart with disappointment falls if he
finds you without cent:

I'd chuckle for awhile at you, an then

You think 1t would be very fine to loll

win their way in popular favor they will
become more costly. Hitherto they have
been cheaper than their beauty led one
to expect they would be. but that was be-
cause the superstitution about their ILL
luck bringing powers made people fear to
own them, and thus the demand for them
was comparatively small. An opal sur
rounded by smaller brilliants makes a
charming setting for a ring. The dia-
monds reflect the rainbow tints of the
opal, and the combination of stones is
one which shows the beauties of both to
