NO MORE DIVORCED WOMEN
The Pope Does Not Want Them Adj
mittcd to His Presence.

Rome, Dec. 2o.--The Vatican authorities
have received remonstranccs from several
American bishops against the audience
granted ny the Pope to Americans who
in the opinion of these bishops We're not
worthy of the honor, and which, it is
added. created dissatisfaction among the
faithful.
The Pope has also been informed that
among the persons presented to him a few
days ago was an American woman who
had been divorced. This irritated the
pontfi, who declared that such a prescu-
tation must not occur again.
The officials of the Vatican are also re-
calling chat two Americans recently re
fused To kneol when the Pope appeared
and the persons having authority in these
matters have been ordered to he more
strict in arriving at decisions upon appli-
cations from Americans for audiences of
the Pope. American applicants in future
must be recommended by their respective
bishops or have their applications sup
ported by a recognized official here.

ITO DE CONTINuED.l
Tides.

,hc following is given in brief as the
theory most generally entertained by
scientists. with a few exceptions, con
corning tides 1t Is assumed that the
moon, acting alone. would not only
raise a wave on the side of the earth
nearest to it by gravitaton. but would
also draw the earth itself far enough
out of IT'S course to leave behind some
of the water on the farther side. which
water would then be raised relatively to
the earth's surface and constitute the
second tidal wave. The sun alone
would act similarly. although its tide
raising effect is only about twO-fifths
that of the moon. Now, at new moon
the sun and moon pull together and
give higher tides than ut the first and
third quarters. when the sun draws its
right angles to the line Of the moons
attraction. and at full moon. when the
sun is on the opposite side of the earth
from the moon. virtually the same eff
feet is observed as at new moon. but
the double tide raising action Of the
sun would again be superimpOSed on
that of the moon and give tides on OPP
posite sides as high as those fortnight
before.

There are persons at the present day
and not all old women either-who
believe that killing a robin will bring
bad luck, According to ancient belief.
the storm cloud was huge bird The
Arabians represented his wings as
measuring 10000 fathoms This bird
lived on worms, the latter being the
streaks Of lightning accompanying
storms. The Germans rcmodeled the
fiction ~ creating the god Thor, whose
bird was the robin. Consequently to
kill robin first meant death by light
ming, then bad luck.

WORK ON THE FARM.

From the Southern Farm Magazine
 January is probably the coldest and most disagreeable month for farm work during the whole year. Nevertheless there are many important duties to be performed. The farmer must hire his hands and have them moved in. The contracts for few should be specific and extend for twelve months. No one should be a yearly employe upon the farm un- less he has developed a character for con- stancy, industry and reliability Such hands should be literally paid, and an employer should pay them cheerfully if he expects his hands to work cheerfully. Generally it is better to get men with families, as they are less apt to leave during the busy seasons. There is such a demand for labor, both common and skilled, all through the south that 1t $ sometimes difficult to get the best labor on the farm or plantation, and yet the writer knows of many farmers who keep their negro laborers from year to year. They do this because they have provided some of the comforts and conveniences for them. They have some regard also for their pleasures, and do not often re- fuse to let them take day off to attend the circus or their big gatherings, politi- cal or religious. Kindness to negroes goes further than money, and many in- stances could be cited where the best negro laborers have lived for five, ten and fifteen and twenty years upon the same farm or plantation, seemingly grow ing better contented each year.

Curious Medical Phenomena.

 A Philadelphia physician. while making a social visit at the house of a friend, ehanced to meet a colleague. After some general conversation a remark was made that gave a professional turn to the talk The first physician said:
 You know one may look into the throat ia child and determine upon which foot 1t is standing merely by the way in which the blood collects on the other side of the body"
 "A more remarkable fact than that, observed the second doctor, lis that by manual training you can actually ln- crease the size of the brain of stupid child, so that by proper mental exercise 1t develops a marked degree of nteli- gence.
 It is probable that the host began to suspect that his medical friends were trying To schaff' him; at any rate. he, as a layman, contributed the following extraordinary addition to the stock of medical knowledge.

HUGHES WAS A PREcocIoUs BOY. The Terror to Insurance EViI-Doers
 Read Greek When Years Old.

J. Herbert Welch in Success Magazine.
 One of the first and most significant things I discovered about Charles b. Hughes was that he has very spontane- ous and rather boyish laugh--a laugh im- pelled by so strong a sense of humor that now and then he feels obliged to rein It in Standing, most of the time, with his back to the grate fire, he gave me glimpse of the long succession of his days of work l saw first a frail and puny boy of eight receiving, among his pres ents on a Christmas morning, a copy of the Bible, printed in Greek, and the same boy. after breakfast, boring over it's pages MT. Hughes laughed when he told me this, and asked me not to consider the child a little prig. He assured me that he was not much of a Greek scholar at the age of 8. and had no overweening fondness for the classics. It was only that, being too delicate to go to school or to indulge in the romping play of other children, his father, Baptist clergyman, had turned his young sons mind in tho direction of his own studies This was in Glens Falls, N. r., where MT. Hughes was born.
 His mother, as well as his father took a hand fin his early education. Having been school teacher, and believing in the value of mathematics as discipline for the mind, she drilled her boy every day in mental arithmetic He said that he used to enjoy these lessons, and that they were the foundation of grasp of facts and figures which has been of immense value to him in his law practice Besides studying the languages and mathematics he was reading theology when he was ten. Again he laughed when he mentioned this. He explained that 1t was merely hls home influences and not any special in- clination on his part, aside from fairly studious disposition, that led him into these paths of somewhat premature schol- arshp. If he had been a farmers boy, he said, he probably would have been no less jealous in following the path that led to the swimming hole in the creek.

MANY BOGUS GEMS

An Industry That Requires 9
 Large Capital
SOME OF THE METHODS
The "DoubIst" Is the Favorite Way of Preparing Precious Stones to Make Them Appear More Valuable
 Deeelvins the Unwsry.
From London TitlBits.

From London TitiBts.
 The passion for precious stones which has reigned in the minds of men and wom- en almost from time immemorial has, Of course, given rise to much counterfeiting of the more valuable stones.
 All are more or less familiar with the cheap glass limitations where the worth lessness of the article is so apparent that there Is no suggestion of fraud Few, however, realize to what an extent skilled fraud exists in this trade, more especially on the continent. where much of the dia- mond cutting is done. The manufacture of imitation gems Of specially prepared glass is quite an important industry
 It Is now possible to produce in paste an imitation of almost every precious stone which is capable of deeeiving the eyes of all but the most expert. Not only is there a superficial resemblance but a slkillfully prepared "paste" stone exhib- its the same luster and high index of refraction and dispersion as would dia- mond of the first water. The purity Of the materials employed Is such that an equal degree of clearness and transpa- rency is given to the imitation as IS found in the genuine stone. Color is im- itated also, so that a ruby, emerald, sap phire or other gem made of glass is prac- tically indistinguishable from the real jewel which may have cost hundreds or pounds.
 Tho material of which these imitation
