WOMEN AND THEIR JEWELS.
Nervousness Sometimes Causes
Them to Create Unneces-
sary Alarm.

ooh. Mr.. Lacoq, my jewels, worth
500, 600, have been stolen. | suspect my
maid"
Calm yourself. madam" said the
great detective. In what places do
you usually hide away these %things?"
The woman mentioned seven places,
and LecOq had them all searched. re-
lates the Philadelphia Bulletin. In
the last, a handbook. the jewels lay
intact. The lady had forgotten that she
had put them there.
And now" said l.ecoq. "let this be
a lesson to you. Don't, the next time
you mislay a ring or \ necklace, accuse
somebody of theft. | don't lelieve
there is a jewel-owning woman living
who hasn't at M time or another de-
clared herself robbed of some trinket
which has later on turned up in a for
gotten hiding place. L.
1T happens too often on Atlantic
liners that some passenger declares a
watch or a bracelet missing. She has
all the stewards on hoard searching
and Der room steward feels uncomfor;-
able. Sometimes. indeed, she roundly
accuses the room steward of THEFT.
And then. a day or two later, the lost
article is found in the bottom of her
steamer trunk, and the woman is sorry
that she was so hGsty.
Men are moro careful than women
in throwing out reckless accusations
Of theft. | suppose it is because. liv-

They Love Dante.

A magnificent upper chamber Of the
municipal palace 0he Palazzo Yecchiol
in Florence is set apart in memory OF
the great poet Dante. To it each of the
sixty-nine provinces and all of the lar
ger cities and towns OF united Italy
have contributed banner In his hon
or. There are over 800 of these ban
ners in all, and the donors, in eager
emulation, have tried to make each Of
fering more beautiful than the others.
The banners are of the differing colors
of the provinces and bear their arms in
exquisite embroidery or in paintings
by the first living artists. The fervor
of the homage paid here to the immOr-
tnl italian poet stirs the heart OF even
the passing stranger. Whatever the
jealousies or arrangement Of these
people, beside his tomb they nre united.

TrMRER PREsERvATIoN.
The Most PerRec4 Method IL Also the
Most Expensive.

The Most Perfect Method II Also the
Most ExDennIve.
Telephone poles nearly always decay
at or just below the ground line. The
upper portion OF the pole, permanently
In the air, rupIdly drying after rain, IS
practically always dry and IS rarely
found decayed. The butt of the pole,
deeply buried In the ground, is In n
permanently damp condition, but oxy-
gen being excluded 1t is seldom badly
affected. Close to the ground line the
soil retnins the moisture and keeps the
wood constantly damp where It is ex-
posed to the air and to the heat = the
sun, which Is just what Its little SeEe-
table enemies like, but If the albumen
in the wood can be rendered unfit for
food the wood tissues offer practically
no support to fungi. Timber preserva-
ton amounts, then, to poisoning the
food supply OF the destructive agencies.
Preservation of timber is attempted
in three ways-by seasoning, either
natural or artificial; by outward mo-
chanicnl means, such as charming in fro
or the applications of antiseptics on tie
surface OF the stick, and by impreE-
mating the wood with antisepties or
these the last is by far the most i'm
portant. The most perfect method
which is also the most eSpensive-ts
the injection of dead oil of coal tar in
to the whole fiber of the pole.-Hart-
