Perfect Gems Turned Out by TWO
Seattle Scientists
In little dark basement at the cor
ner Of Fifth avenue and Jackson
street, two French chemists, with the
assistance of DR.. Horace Byers, pro-
fessor of chemistry at the state uni
versity, are turning out rubies which
are pronounced as good as are de-
veloped in natures laboratory, and
at a price averaging ten cents each.
The experiments have been con-
Quoted for several weeks. aud every
effort has been made to leep the
matter secret.
Some OF the gems turned out have
been examined at the university, and
declared to be genuine.
The place Of manufacture is fitted
up with modern appliances for chem
ical analysis.
Until a week ago the chemists
were able to produce a gem perfect
in every respect, except that it lacked
the color of the genuine 1t was at
this point that DR.. Byers was called

He took the stone to the university
laboratry and there made an analysis
and discovered the defect. The in
formation was given to the French

The Battle for seIf-cooauest.

They that are christs have cruciaed
the fiosh.--Gal. 5:24.
Not in his circumstances, not in his
habits, not in his hereditary station,
but in himself, in a heart ready to
give itself up to the worst instead OF
to the better powers Of the world, in
soul chat loves baseness, frivolity
and falseness. there lies the real en-
emy. Oh, the great strength which
comes when that discovery is madel
And, feeling that now at last the real
battle has begun, the man solemnly,
solidly settles himself down to the
conquest of himself. The army which
has carried by storm one fortifcation
after another, and found that ii has
only gained possession of an outpost,
more or less insignificant, now sits
down before the central citadel and
the real siege begins. Then comes
the true calling up of all the powers.
Then comes humility. and by humility
misunderstanding and in self-under-
standing strength. Then comes that
earnest cry for Gods help which al
ways brings its answer. Then comes
the giving of the souls weakness into
the abundant strength of Christ Then
comes the great reality of prayer. All
5f these, when the man has at last
got to the center of his sin, and is at
last fighting with himself for his own
soul.
My friends, do you know the mean
ing Of all this? Are you fighting that
battle for seIf-conquest If you are,
you know with what a true exhilara-
tion that which seems such cruel
and unnatural necessity Of life may
occupy and inspire the soul Almost
with a shout the man exclaims. Il
will subdue myself for goodness and
for god!" And though no shout is
heard, though men beside him do not
hear a sound, though the battlefield
is in some inmost secret chamber Of
his most secluded life, though the fair
est flowers of his own self-content
are being torn to pieces by the wrest-
lers feet, yet still there is-do not
you know it. many Of you?-a deep,
strong. solemn joy as the night draws
nearer to the day, and the self with
which we fight grows weaker, and the
self for which we fight grows ireer-
a JOY deep and strong and solemn with
WHICH no other pleasure in human
living can compare
And also there grows up a great
charity and hope for every other man
who is fighting the good fight with his
sins-a charity and hope which is
alone reward enough for all our painl
May God lead all of us speedily in,
through all the outer struggles. 20
this inmost fight of all May we be-
gin it now, and never end it till our
sin is dead. May the Captain of our
salvation be our leader and our
strength. May we be full Of courage,
because the battle which we fight is
not our own alone, but Gods. and at
the last may we be conquerors in

Faith in God brings an element OF
dignity, of assurance, Of inspiration
into life that fills the soul with high
and noble aspirations. Doubt. or even
lack of faith, throws a damper over
the hearts inspirations. Ages Of doubt
have always been the ages when life
has been inexpressibly saddened. Ep.
ochs of faith have always been times
when people have risen in the scale
Of living. No man lives on low
plain who has Christian faith-faith
in God, in immortality, in the perma
nency Of the good, in the ultimate tri-
umph Of right and justice and truth
Such faith determines true living. Put
such faith into a mans heart and you
develop not only the business in the
man, but the man in the business; /;
not only the successful lawyer in the
man, but the noble, successful, help
full man in the lawyer; not the active,
shrewd politician in the man, but the
statesmanlike man in the politician;
not the minister in the man. but the
man of God in the minister; not the
Christian in the man. but the Christ
man in the Christian; and then you
have always the highest type of true
living on earth.-Rev. A. A. Plan

To be a Christian. to live the ideal
life toward which the Word Of God
Is ever pointing us, is to know God
and ever seek to do his will. To ac-
cept without murmuring whatever of
Joy or sorrow He may send us, say
ing, Thy will, not mine, be done;
to trust where we cannot understand,
believing our Father to be generous
and wise and kind, and this even when
our experiences hurt us; to be faith
full in every service. knowing that He
"heareth u.s.; to keep the heart with
all diligence from the sin and selfish
ness of the world; to endeayor to ap-
preciate the needs of the needy. and,
as far as possible, minister to them;
to love "even those we cannot like"
and to hate nothing but sin; to keep
our tongue from evil and our lips from
speaking guile; to be brave where
others are false; to be like Him who.
though rich, for our sakes become
poor-this is the ideal Christian life.

success craze Docs eood.

All this revulsion against drinking
has, of course, not been due to the de-
sire for success. Nor has the drink
evil in this country entirely been
stamped out But the change iii the
habits Of men has been so marked
and its cause so directly traceable to
this desire for success that we, being
an entirely practical nation, must look
upon the success craze from more
than one angle. Undoubtedly it has
made man more mercenary. Probably
it has caused much OF the graft that
stirs the country at present. But also
it has taught men TO take better care
of themselves. the physical and men
tai health. and the results of this will
be reaped not only in this generation,
but in the generations that are to
come, when the success bee" will buzz
just as nightly, if not mightier, and
drinking and other coarse habits Of
the body will be even less followed
than they are now Exchange

Growth Of Purebred Business Shows

"Oklahoma stockmen are beginning
to show more interest in purebred cat-
tie" said F. C. Burtis, professor Of
animal husbandry at the Oklahoma
agricultural college, Saltwater, to a
representative Of the Kansas City
Journal "ani it will not be long be-
fore that territory will make a good
showing in tho big stock shows of the
country. The college at Saltwater is
doing what it can to convince the
farmers that fine cattle can be raised
there as well as those of the long
horned range variety, and we keep
them advised of our successful expert
ments. A gradual Improvement Of the
stock OF Oklahoma may be expected.
"One Of the things which we have
to contend with IS the old fallacy that
horses cannot be successfully raised
in the territory. Our experiments
have shown the uttery folly of this old
theory, yet every now and then we
hear from men who wish to know
whether it would pay them to take
their stock to Oklahoma While we
have experimental with various kinds
Of horses and had success, we have
been particularly fortunate with Per.

bought in Missouri four years ago,
we have secured approximately $4,000
