Oxford Man in Unearthing Palace

Women of Long Ago.

Arthur Evans, the oxford Archaeo-

ace of Minos, in Crete, has found in
subterranean sanctuary certain very
ancient, small earthenware statues.

some humorist has "salted" the exca-

GEMS AND WEATHER AGREE
Up-to-Date Girl Inaugurates Fashion
of Having Jewels and Fore
cast Match.

The up-to-date girl no longer wears
her rings to match her costumes, but
to match the weather, says the N. Y.
Sun. During the hot summer she dis
carded her diamonds and rubies for
topazes, moonstones and turQuoises.
She declared the more ardent stones
made her feel warmer than the
weather. With the nippy fall days she
puts on her emeralds and sapphires.
On a bright, sunny day she wears
pearls, but never on gloomy day,
for she says pearls are nothing but
tears anyway. and the combination Of
pearls and clouds would be too de-
pressing to endure. On rainy days
she wears opals because they promise
brightness and clear days to come.
Her rubies, garnets and diamonds she
saves for winter weather. The dia-
mond is a good cold weather stone,
even II It is somewhat stately, because
1t Is constantly giving out flashes of
brilliant color Amethysts are always
suggestive Of thick clothes, and should
be worn Just a. summer is changing
into fall.

DOG FINDS RICHES IN GEMS
Canine Gets Mixed Up in Rapids and
Is Disentangled with Pearls
Clinging to Him.

Two French Canadians and a blue

have been hunting along Lobster stream
In Maine for three weeks with small
success, returned to Bangor, carrying
half pint of pearls. all OF them taken
from Lobster rapids one rainy morn

They had taken setter dog to camp
to help them in shooting partridses.
but they found so many fleas upon him
that he was compelled to stay outside
in disgrace. One morning about a
week ago they heard the dog yelping for
help from the stream, On going to his
assistance they discovered that he was
attached to some object under water
which threatened to drown him. II re-
quired a strong pull 10 free the dog
from the rocks On taking him TO camp
the party discovered that his long. red
hair was thickly spattered with the
shells OF mussels, which had closed upon
his coat SO tightly that he could not get
free On opening the shells in order IL
free them from the hair, they uncovered
nearly so large pearls, all of good color
and fairly free from blemishes At th'
lowest estimate the citizens think tha
the pearls they have secured will sci
for $500, enough to pay for hunting trip
for several years.

FORTUNES MADE IN RUBBER
King Of the Belgians Is Waxing Rich
In Central Africa-carnegie's
Prophecy True.

The prophecy made by Andrew Car
negie that the coming men Of power
would be rubber millionaires is al
ready being fulfilled. The late Henry
NJ Stanley left fortune, accumulated
in spite OF his disregard for wealth.
consisting largely Of his interests in
rubber plantations In central Africa
Stanley's dream was Of building great
empire, but It never occurred to him
to build It for himself, else his estate
would have been infinitely larger than
that of Cecil Rhodes, But the king OF
Belgium is q man Of different mold
from Stanley, and this royal rubber
merchant is working innumerable
thousands of acres Of trees In the land
where Stanley meant to erect q state,
and amasslng fortune which will be
simply stupendous in Its figures, His
enterprise Is at the cost OF whole
races OF nations. and of the trees, but
such ruthless destruction is neither
wise nor necessary. and civilized pow
ers will yet put limit to such inhu-
mainly. Carnegie is right There are
millions being made, and yet to bt
made, in rubber. but 1t will be by the
preservation and cultivation of botf
the rubber trees and the people who
plant and care for them.

Told bv Truthful james.

A more or less truthful Australian
relates that he put an unusually large
porcelain egg in the nest of hen and
found that the next eggs she laid were
OF increased size. Then he put goose
egg in the nest The hen laid an egg
Just as large. He was so pleased with
the scheme that he put whitewashed
football in the nest When he went
the next time to search for eggs he
found one as big as football, but no
hen in sight. Securing the egg, he
saw engraved on it, by hen protog-
raphy, these words: I'm no ostrich,
but I've done my best" Later he
found the hen inside the egg.
