PRECIOUS JADE.
To the ChinRman 1t Is the Embodi-
ment of Beauty.

To the European jade is chiefly a
curiosity To the Chinaman it is the
most precious of stones. The western
man, in his dull, prosaic, scientific
way, will say that the term jade as
popularity employed includes two min
erals jadete and nephrite. The spe
cine gravity of the jadeite is higher,
but its fuSing point lower than that of
the other BY the mere process of
handling and inspection it is impossi-
bic 10 tell them apart. and both are
very similar to another stone called
preAni,e
Here, on the other hand, is a Chinese
definition: Jade is the quintessence
of heaven and earth. 1t is marked
with tie dark hues of the hills, With
the blue tintS of streams. 1t is white
as sliced lard, red rs a cocks comb
and yellow as a cooked chestnut"
One of the chief characteristics of
jade is its extreme hardness. a spe-
cial sand, as fine as -four and found
only in certain springs, is used in cut
ting it. In spite of its beauty when
cut and polished, Jade in its rough
state cannot be distinguished by the
casual eye from the r';9ble of the road

TEACHING THE HORSE.
VIII Learn Anything His Muscles
Can Perform.

Expert horsemen believe that a horse
can be taught to do anything that it is
possible for an animal so formed and
to be utterly fearless. Thus we know
Of horses rushing into battle with p
fearlessness that is magnificent, al
though in the beginning of their lives
they may have been foolishly timids
shying at everything unusual that hap
pened TO be seen in their travels.
In order TO teach horse fearlessness
he must be accustomed to all sorts Of
sights and sounds. He must come to
know that because something that he
sees or hears j. unusual it does not fol
low that it is harmful. FOR il is tie un-
usual things that frighteE him. The
horse is an an.a 20 Of one idea at
time aad is not a. .e 10 discriminate, so
say the men who have made Il study of
the horse While lie will travel along
quietly close by the roar of a train, he
may tremble at the flutter of a piece OF
loose paper flying in the wind. 1t is
not tie frightfulness of the object that
seems to alarm him. but the unfamil-
iarity of ii. Horse trainers say that
the mistakes made in breaking and
training a colt is that it is too often
done in the seclusion of some country
road instead of amid the sights and
sounds that the animal must necessari-
ly become familiar with later
AS soon as the horse becomes famti-
lar with anything and has learned to
believe that it will not hurt him he
will stand quietly or trot along peace
fully, even though all sorts of noises
and queer sights are about him. Thus
the artillery horse will stand amid the
roar of cannons. being used to the
noise and not knowing that the sound
predicts anguish and death. 1t is we'll
to accuStom a horse to unusual sounds
as soon as possible after he is trained
for riding or driving. 1t renders him
safe and docile. even though he be
spirited animal A certain trainer of
horses said that an ideal school for
horses would contain thrashing ma
chimes. pile drivers. steam drills, cleo
trio, steam and elevated cars. a band
of martial music and a gang Of quarry
men blasting rock. A horse that was
drilled among such bedlam as this
would indeed prove immune to strange
noises. The gentle family horse, petted
by man and child. is not always train
ed to all this. yet he often makes a use
full and faithful animal, loved by his
owner and evidently making some re-
turn of affection.-Detroit Tribune.

Berlin is at its best at night. 1t
has discovered the secret Of electric
lighting, and when people step out
from their offices and shops at s and .
o'clock at night it is into an enchanted
city. The solid palaces, the monstrous
statues. the enormous houses and wide
spaces of the long and stately streets
are then soft and gracious with a fairy
radiance. 1t is a city not only of pros
perity, but of pure delight. The heav-
mess Of the buildings and the rigidity
Of their lines are blurred and softened.
In this clear northern air the million
lamps blazing from the walls of houses

Bagged the Bandits.

When Macmillan was emperor of
Mexico the country was overrun with
train robbers. They marched about in
large bands. tore up the tracks and
robbed everybody. One day the train
from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico
was bounding gayly along, the five
coaches filled with hidalgoes, poems.

it came to a standstill. The train
guard cried out, "Bandittew Sure

ragged but desperate ruffians were
lined up. Suddenly hidalgoes. poems.
market women and farmers arose.
There were binding fash and deaf

car, and 100 of the bandits fell dead,
while the 800 zouaves, disguised in the
costumes of the country, turned out Of
the cars. pursued the flying robbers
and killed every one.

Trial By Jury.

Trial by twelve compurgators, which
was of canonical origin. existed in An
glo-Saxon times and only resembled
what is known as trial by jury in the
number of persons sworn. Under the
name of wager of law it continued to
be the law of England until abolished
Aug. Il. 1893. Traces of trial by jury
are found in the reigns of William L.
and H.. Henry l. and Stephen, but it
was not fully established until the
reign of Henry ii. Trial by jury was
first adopted in criminal cases in the
reign of John. 1880. and was the
established mode of dealing with them
at the end of the thirteenth century

Some years ago the editor of a down

ment an eminent citizen as "a noble
old burgher. proudly loving his native
state but the neatly turned compli-
ment came from the compositor's hands
"a nobby old burglar, proving round
in a naked state" This was as per-
verse and shocking as the blunder in
the message Ernest Renan had occa-
sion to telegraph across the English
channel on the subject Of proposed
lecture by him in Westminster abbey.

ton of Christianity" 1t was announc-

Grent Echoes.

The suspension bridge across the
Menai straits, in Wales. produces one
OF the most remarkable echoes in the
world. The sound Of a blow with a
hammer on one of the main piers is re-
turned in succession from each of the
crossbeams which support the road
way, and from the opposite pier at the
distance of SIC feet, in addition to
which the sound is many times re
peated between the water and roadway
at the rate Of twenty-eight times in
five seconds.
An equally remarkable echo is that
Of the castle Of Simonetta. a noble
mans seat about two miles from
Milan The report Of a pistol is re-
peated by this echo sixty times. A
singular echo is also heard in a grotto
near Castle Comber. In Ireland. In
the garden Of the Tuileries, in Paris,
Is an artificial echo which repeats a
whole verse without the loss Of a sim
gle syllable.
Another wonderful echo is heard out
side the Shipley church, in Sussex,
which echoes some twenty syllables In
the most perfect manner
The wei. known echo at Woodstock
repeats itself no fewer than fifty times.

In Greece a young woman who
wishes to know what sort of hus-
band she is going to have goes to one
of the gypsy fortune tellers. who are
regarded with much reverence. The
fortune teller gives her a pie seaso0
ed with aromatic herbs. This she eats
just before going to bed, having hung
around her neck a bag with three flow
erS. one white. one red and one yellow.
The next morning she draws one of
the flowers out of the bag. If it be
white. she is TO marry young man;
if red, one of middle age; if yellow, a
widower. She relates what she has
dreamed in the night to the fortune
teller, who predicts whether her hus-
band is to be rich and the marriage
happy. If the predictions are not car
ried out to the letter, no fault is ascrib-
ed to the fortune teller. This deviation
by the bag and different colored flowers
is equally adaptable to all countries
and has the merit of being cheap and
easy way of settling ones future, if
one has only faith enough.

purum wheat Flour For Bread.

"
From chemical examination of du
rum wheat bread Messrs. Carleton and
Chamberlain conclude:
First.-Durum wheat -four produces
a bread that, as q rule, contains slight
ly more moisture and loses this mois-
ture mt a slower rate than bread made
from hard spring wheat -four.
Second. - The average weight OF
loaves of equal loaf volume is slightly
greater in the case of durum wheat
-four than of -four from hard spring
wheat
Third.-The average loaf volume Of
loaves scaled TO the same weight when
nodded is almost the same with the
two kinds of -four.
Fourth.-Durum wheat flour and the
bread made from it contain noticeably
larger amounts Of sugar than hard
spring wheat -four or bread
Fifth.-The ash content of durum
wheat -four and bread is greater than
that of hard spring wheat -four or
bread
Sixth.-The food value of the two
kinds Of bread. as measured by the
heat of combustion. IS practically the
same.

REITERATION.
The Power of Asserting a Thing
Over and Over Again.

The Power of Asserting a Thing
Over and over Again.
There is nothing more extraordinary
than the effect produced by reiteration
upon the public mind. Almost any
nonsense makes an impression if only it
is repeated often enough in print. The
fortunes made by soaps. hair washes,
patent medicines. patent aids to cook
cry. etc. are witnesses to this curious
fact.
There is form of self advertisement
which proves even more pointedly than
commercial advertisement the wonder
full potency of assertion. 1t is some
thing far subtler than what we have
been discussing, and appeals to small
er and more select public. In this case
the deception goes further, but it is
necessary to obtain the full effect that
a person who makes the assertion
should himself believe in its truth. The
power to deceive with which the self
deceived are often endowed is remark
able.
BY countless assertions a stupid man
can convince himself That is why un,
receptive people become so pigheaded
and prejudiced as they get older.-Lon-
don Spectator.
