Here came the crucial test. A too
vigorous rub, slip Of the hand,
failure to- perceive instantly the first
appearance Of the paint and coating,
might have proved fatal to the valu-
able masterpiece which it was desired
to preserve. But care, patience, keen
eyesight and steady nerve won the
dry, and the last vestige Of wood was
resolved into powder, leaving only
thin layer OF paint lying IN bed Of
tissue paper.
To have attempted to lift the tissue
matrix would probably have been fatal
to the painting. 1t was therefore nee
essary to secure it to firm surface
before 1t could be moved. After smear
ing 1t carefully with some adhesive
substance, the operator laid on q back
ing Of heavy stiff linen canvas, and the
picture, matrix and all, was placed
away to dry in room kept at an even
temperature. This drying process took
a long time
When it was regarded as safe to
move the painting, it was again turned
over, the canvas backing being under
meath. The removal OF the tissue pap
er was then begun, an easy task until
the small slips adhering to the surface
of the painting were reached. The parts
of these slips not pasted to the paint
were removed without difficulty, but
it was long and tedious operation, re-
curing patience and a gentle touch,
to take away the rest.
The painting was found to be un-
harmed by the operation to which it
had been subjected. The colors had
been preserved and there was no rub
bing away OF soaring of the paint. A
coat Of varnish was then applied, end

A THiRTEEN-YEAR-oLD TEACHER.

was VICE his weight.
The youngest pedagogue in Missouri,
and perhaps in the United States is
teaching country school near Gaices-
vile, in the Ozark mountains. He is
Glenn Harrison, aged 13 years. GsAnn
is the Oldest son of Guy I. Harrisoa, a
lawyer.
He completed the course of study
of the Gainesville public schools in
March, 1902. The same month he took
the examination given candidates for
third grade teachers certificates in
Ozark county, making good average
and securing certificate. He coKtin-
ued to study, and just after he became
Is years old he took the examination
for second grade certificate. This
time his average grade was
the highest made, being 96 per cent.
Mr.. Harrison believed his promising
son was too young to teach and re-
fused to let him accept several offers
But one day when his father waa alb
sent attending court, Glenn took the
job Of teacher Of rural district. the
directors of which came and offered
him the place. He began work before
his father returned, and the later, find
ing him so ambitious, decided not to
interfere.
Glenn now has 20 pupils. Tho ma
jority are larger and older than he, but
he maintains degree Of discipline
which many older and more e1peri-
enced teachers may well envy. How
are you getting along, Glenn?" asked
his mother one day, when he came
home at the end of a weeks work. Il
had to whip several of the boys" the
youngster replied. 1t turned out that
among others he had larruped ali OBJ

Caught Alligator With a FishIine.

While deer. duck and quail shooting
have been better this season in the
esghborhood Of Titusville than in
several years. Rockledge. Stuart and
few other places seem to have the
expert fishermen. But it takes a Mer-
rift fisherman to catch alligators. We
are told that few days ago a seven.
foot alligator was caught with a fish.
line. The line was set and baited with
a mullet, for trout. The alligator took
the bait and the hook fastened itself
in his throat. Had the line been a
rope or chain it would have been
twisted apart or the hook torn out.
The alligator tired himself out and
was easily taken by slipping a rope
over his nose, securing his fiippers,
and towing him ashore, where he was
killed with an axe.-East Coast Advo-
cate (Titusville, Fla.).

HOPE Or,

mere was never day SO misty and gray
mat the blue was not somewhere above
it; -.
There Is never a mountain top ever so
That some little flower does not love it
There was never night SO dreary and
That the stars were not somewhere
shining;
There is never cloud SO heavy and
black
That it has not silvery lining.
There is never waiting-time, weary and
long,
That will not sometime have an ending:
The most beautiful part Of the landscape
is where
The sunshine and shadows are blending.
into every life some shadows will fall.
but Heaven sends the sunshine Of love:
through the riffs In the clouds we may
if we WILL
See the beautiful blue above.
Then. let us hope on though the way be
long
And the darkness be gathering fast;
FOR the turn in the road is little way
Where the home-lights will greet US at
last

A Lucky inspiration.

He had studied by himself, and

He Gid not remember that Caligula

Precious Stones in This Country.

IL Is llLCic SLrango, said Irving
L. Russell, that the United States.
SO far ahead in national resources OF
every other part of the globe in all
essential things, should be so deficient
as a producer of precious stones.
am Of the opinion that there will be
big discovery some day Of the most
valued gems, probably in some out
of-the-way corner Of the land.
81 do not mean to intimate that we
are exactly destitute of fine stones,
but that those found are mostly of in
ferior quality as compared with the
output Of the old mines. In North Car
DINA good many emeralds and ru-
bies and sappkires are to be had, but
they are not OF sufficient value to
warrant cutting. Some very fine pearls
have been taken out of the shells
picked up In the streams of Arkansas,
and at one time the search for them
down there amounted to a craze.
Pearls, by the way, have gone UP in
price from 200 TO 800 per cent in re.
cent years.
"A great many semi-precious stones
are mined in California, the turquoise
found out there being especially beau
tiful, bat lacking in hardness. Tour
malines also come from California in
abundance" -Washington Post.
