jewellers of the country know the loca- ton of every valuable pearl in the pos- session of Americans. The price of these stones has mounted in value from year to year as the demand grew great CT and the supply did not keep pace 1t, until the price now for genuine clear pearls are prohibltive except to millon- aires, and even they are apt to put their money into other precious stones, which are more showy than these soft beautiful ornaments, which many be- lieve excel all others in attractiveness.

TWO PEARLS.

That a millionaire should be so frank as to declare to the customs officers
 two valuable pearls and pay a duty on them of $500 created a "sensation' among the passengers on the steamer
 Deutschland. The man who created
 this sensation was Judge E. H. Gary. chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel Corporation. Mir. Gary had already paid duty of $22OO on wearing apparel and other pur- chases brought from abroad, and the two large pearls which cost $53,OOO in Paris were f1shed out of his trousers pocket in a nonchalant manner, The fact that smuggling of jewelry goes on among persons returning from abroad and the general state of public sentiment which does not regard the evasion of the custom laws as anything criminal, does not in any way make the offence less. It is said that the great

THE AUsrRo-HUyGAR1AY TAR1Fr

THE AUSTRO-HUNGART RYAN TARIFF.
 Count Apponyi's organ summarizes the terms which, it says, Hungary will insist upon in the settlement of new economic agreement with Austria. It says; Hungary remains an independ- ent customs territory and recognizes none but the Hungarian customs tariff; Hungary accepts the material contents (not the form) of the Szell-Korber com pact of 1902, but tolerates no unfavor- able modification whatsoever; Hungary is ready to cast the new settlement in the form of a commercial treaty with Austria. These are the Hungarian con ditions. If Austria is minded to accept them new settlement is possible; oth- erwise not.
 The Austrian standpoint which Bar on Beck is pledged to defend, is that the one-sided action of Hungary in ere ating a separate Hungarian customs tariff is a breach of the reciprocity stip- ulated by the Hungarian and Austrian laws that regulate Austro-Hungarian economic intercourse until the end of

The Rhyme of the Veteran.

A line or two
 Of thanks to you For memories that your words renew,--
 The good, the bad,
 The gay, the sad, The rose, the fennel, and the rue;
 The ancient ways,
 The vanish'd days, When heart and mind were all ablaze
 With purpose true
 To dare and do such deeds as might the world amaze!
 They all come back,
 motley pack, Or swift or slow in Memorys track,
 And, as they come
 Those phantoms dumb, Ot days and joys now gone to wrack,
 l can but think.
 The while I drink, TO those I lov'd when on life's brink,
 Fate had been kind,
 And 1 resign'd, With them long sineeto let me sink;
 For, old and drear,
 finger here, And time glides on from year to year,
 And all that lies
 Beneath the skies Is like what I am, bleak and sere.
 Yet well 1 know
 Itis not so While violets spring and roses blow, To those for whom
 The lilies bloom And Hope expands her roseate bow:
 So let me smile,
 And thus beguile The prospect of life's closing mile, Because for rest. With all that's blest,, I've but to wait little while; With f1-.Sience walt,
 Till, soon or late, The moment comes of mortal fate,
 And, freed from care,
 1 cleave the air And vanish through the golden gate;- That gate which hides Our angel guides l To realms where heavenly love abides, Where sorrows cease, And, soothed to peace, The fever of the soul subsidies: Or, so we dream; And if it seem The idle fabric of dream 'Twere better sure
 Hope should endure Than life be thought a demons scheme So pour the wine, And while I twine These wayward rhymes of Auid Lant Syne, I'll drink to you, The brave. the true, The last in sacred Friendships line! The world is old The stars are cold, The wolves of time are fierce and bold But we'll not fear The nght that's near, | Nor ever doubt it's morn of gold. William Winter in New York Tribune

4 YEW SCHOOL WRINKLE.

A new school wrinkle will perhaps soon be added to the school systems by the educators who run them. And it is one which will suit some of the children. A Pennsylvania teacher be- lieves she has solved the problem of drowsiness in school children after the noon hour. For some time she noticed this, and then began to do little ex- perimenting, Accordingly, at p. m. of the Introductory day she explained to the pupils that she would permit them to take nap of ten minutes, in hopes that it would brighten and enliv- en them to more vigorous work. The announcement was received with broad smiles, indicative of ineXpressiole de- light. Now, children, the signal to take nap will be Heads down" and l want to teach each of you to place your head on your desk and not raise it un- til call Heads up!" said the teacher. The first experiment worked like magic, and the delight of the teacher was boundless. and visions of great fame loomed before her. With the nap over the pupils resumed their studies with renewed vigor and mastered their work in a manner that was amazing. She imparted the secret to other teach CTS, and all are favorably impressed with the idea, but fear to put 1t into execution until officially sanctioned,
 There may be some sense in this. It looks as if there was, It may not be quite as agreeable to the children us play, but it isn't as hard as study,

The new British cruiser shannon, namesake of the ship that won the famous duel with the Chesapeake off Boston harbor in 1913, was launched the other day. After the fight the Ches- speake was bought by the Admiralty. Then she and the Shannon were laid up side by side in the Medway, After six years of idleness the Admiralty ap- parently weeded out of the navy the ships they thought to be out of date, and the Chesapeake was sold as old timber for a paltry $500. Her purchas- CT broke her up, but her timbers were used to build a corn mill, which still stands in a peaceful little village in Hampshire And in the timbers of the mill can still be seen the marks of the shot from the shannon.

A German scientist has figured that flash of lightning one kilometer long and lasting one one e-thousandth of a second represents energy enough to be worth $7oO at the current price charged for electric lighting in Berlin. This energy corresponds to the indus trial production of electricity in all Germany during 40 seconds, and it would operate the Berlin elevated and subway an hour and half at it's bus fest time, or run an express car at 125 miles an hour Tor the three hours trip from Berlin to Frankfort, or light a 32-candlepower lamp for eight years.

City Where Time Hats.

Most travellers, think, will award to
Damascus, in Syria, the palm of being
one of the most untouched" of Orien-
tai cities, lovely ancient snow-white
garden, surrounded by forests of pome-
granates and other orchards such as
caused the Arabs, thousand years
ago, to speak of it as a pearl en-
circled by emeralds."
Time has stood still in Damascus for
a thousand years and life goes on in
the country outside its walls precisely
as 1t did when the ancient Bible his
torian spoke of the city in the Book
Of Genesis. For there, plowing is done
with a crooked bough drawn by a
ragged camel or by the Arab farmers
wife in double harness with donkey.
There, too, and likewise within the
walls, one sees the long lines Of indo-
lent Eastern women drawing water
from the well. just as Rachel did; or
women sitting before the doors of
their houses grinding corn in the old
Bible way, with upper and neither
tones.--Four-Track News.

At Last London Leads Paris.

1t Is strange anomaly that in the
matter of that important class of au-
tomobile vehicles, the motor-omnibus.
London should have shown the way to
Paris. Yet so it is; and in the cradle
Of the horseless vehicle there is at
present not single NOTORIOUS. But
1t is coming. The recent trials made
at the time of the great automobile
show have convinced the authorities
and the public that the NOTORIOUS is
the popular vehicle Of the future, and
arrangements are being made to place
a number on the Paris thoroughfares
without delay. In view of the i'm.
mense increase of traffic which will
ensue when the new motor-omnibuses
ant regulations for the better control
of automobile traffic In the streets is
now under consideration. The disa.
greeable warning horn will probably
have to so, and two substitutes are
suggested-one, the siren, which has
many advocates, including the Minis
ter Of Public Works, and the other the
electric bell, less insistent than the
siren and favored by the Minister Of
the Interior. No uncertifcated chauf-
feur will be allowed to drive, and
certificates will be of three classes:

Cost of Irnoranee to Dairy Farmers.

Ex-Governor Hoard has said that ig-
norance is the most expensive thing
that man can have. My former art-
Gle on the waste Of manure showed G.
norance was costly This time l want
to take 4 look at the dairy industry of
our State. The last census credits In
diana with 5745S4 COWS, and it would
be safe to say that the average butter
production is not over 12J pounds per
COW. Professor Haecker, of Mime
sofa, has found .hat the average farm
COW can by good care and proper feed
be brought up to 2T5 pounds. which
would mean an increase Of $50 pounds
a year. To the farmers Of the State Of
Indiana that would mean S17. .23T. .J2O a
year, valuing butter at twenty cents q
pound. That is not all, however, as the
value Of the butter produced could cas-
fly be raised five cents pound by tax
ing the proper care of the milk and
cream and churning tile butter just
right and packing 1t for market in the
most approved way. That loss of five
cents a pound amounts 10 S3,J01, 100 a
year for the State
Then again the value of the calf
from these average COWS is consider
ably less than what 1t would be from
cows getting the best Of care and feed
Such calf would be worth at least 50
more at year old than the other one.
This again means S2,S72,92O for the
State each year. These three items
amount to S24,7O1,59O, the cost Of tx.
norance to the farmers in the matter Of
dairying alone. In my last paper the
fact was brought out that the loss from
manure was over S2OOO0,OOO a year TO
Indiana farmers. This is only the be-
ginning Of a long story. ana it will all
emphasize the value Of trained brains
and hands. - w. c. Palmer, Wlnona

population is nominally Roman Cath

The Christianity of the Philippines
after four centuries OF Spanish oppor-
tunity. produced, among other things,
a popular rallying cry, which was rails

longer feared: Death to the friarsi"

SOURCE or IMMIGRATION.
Spain Has Not Yet Started Large H..
90 This Country.

The subject Of immigration has pe,..
been so important one for the trn,,'s
States ms now, when the fields, shoss
and mills of the country are cau,s.
. for more labor. and the interestss
question is, From what source shan y
come? The tide of immigra ton fros
Northern Europe has ebbed, and Ital,..
sons have been coming in peacef,,
armies to our aid. But this sourca !.
supply also will soon fail, not only ~
cause Italy is fast becoming depletsa
Of the emigrating classes, but also hs
cause the Kingdom is experiencing IN,
beginning of an Industrial propre,.
which will AFFORD ample scope for an
the native labor available. Spain /,
the only Mediterranean country ths,
has not yet started tide of emIcrs
ton to America. That the SpanIara
has not been infected seriously win
the migrating fever is shown BY ,ha
fact that less than two in every ops
thousand of Spain's inhabitants started
for other lands in 1904, while in tha
same year seven Irlshmen out Of ev.
cry one thousand left their native land
and still more Italians quit the PENN
sula.
In Spain the maritime provinces ara
the most abundant sources of emipra.
tion, and yet the sea coast population
has increased, while that of the IN.
fand provinces. which contribute few
emigrants, is much lower in compar.
son and remains stationary. In 1904
9S,394 persons left Spain by sea and
71.254 entered her ports. There are M
official statistics showing the percent
age of the emigration from Spain
which came to the United States. Some
notion, however, may be gained from
the amount of money sent to Spain
by persons who have come to this
country. IN 1904 one banking house
of Corunna paid S2,200,000 on drafts
from the United States totally uncon.
nected with any commercial transac.
tions. In the same year the bank OF
Rio de la Plata paid drafts for $S,OO0.
700. 1t may be inferred, therefore, that
in 1904 more than $1O.000,O00 was sent
into Spain by Spaniards who had emf.
grated to the New World.
The total number of emigrants from
Great Britain. including ireland, in
1905, was 459,91T. an increase of 6O4O
over the number of 1904. The British
and Irish emigration to the United
States last year was 122,3S9, a de-
crease of II per cent. Great Britain
herself is confronted by serious prob.
lem in connection with immigration to
her own shores. In 1905 196,529 immi.
grants arrived in the United Kingdom
from the Continental countries. More
than half of these were in transit to
other lands, 10S,347 of them continuing
their journey. This alien immigrating
to Great Britain has resulted in the
passage of partial exclusion act. The
flood tide was not quite so great, how.
ever, in 1905 as in the previous year,
but 74,409 remaining in the country,
as against S2,S45 In 1904.-Tribune.

A New England Farmer writer THINKS
every farmer should have hotbed
even IL only single sash, three feet
wide and six feet long. in which to
start his early lettuce, cabbage and
caulidower. tomato, pepper and egg
plants. The market gardeners often
SOW their hotbeds in January. but un-
less one has very early land to set
them in the farmer will do as well
not to start these plants before Febru-
hry, if the bed is properly made. Then
he needs at least twice or three times
as much space in cold frames as he
had in hotbeds. into which he can set
the plants when about three inches
high, giving a foot square to each Of
the last three named. and six inches
to the other three. The cold frame is
like TIE hotbed without the bottom
heat. and I'm il the plants make more
stocky growth with more abundant
roots. IL the soil is rich. If the women
want flower garden, start Il few
plants for them, such as asters. ver-
benas ana others that they want, and
what up-to-date woman does not want
flowersy 1t is not much trouble to
make a hotbed If the pit is dug when
the ground is not frozen. Many dig
their pits in the fall and I'LL them with
leaves. which are easily thrown out
when frozen. The convenience of
having these vegetable luxuries. which
have become necessities TO many, will
many times repay all the cost and
trouble. .lt,u~.
