The people who buy precious stones on the
theory that they are a good form of investment
property to lay by for rainy day will receive
a rude shock from the news that pawnbrokers
are now advancing only 10 per cent of the value
of diamonds and lesser stones. while jewellers
are exceedingly loath TO purchase even the choc-
est gems Perhaps this may he lesson 10 those
who have been boarding money in wholly un-
productive forms at the rate of several hundred
millions of dollars annually. High school stu
dents casting about for a fresh snappy topic
for debate might take this: Whom should the
bankers and business men growl more harshly
at the depositor who leaves his money most Of
the time In the bank but withdraws it during
a week Of panic the who ties up his
money in diamonds and then tries to cash them
in during hard times?

There have been absolute administrations and

be no doubt that an absolute regime does often

THE TOWN BEAUTIFUL.

The beginning of summer is season
when the women of every village and
town in the country may well organize
work for the preservation and creation
OF beauty. Streets, commons, school.
yards, cemeteries, all need constant
care, and in many towns there are no
officials who are entrusted with this
duty. In fact, the men who work on
the roads too often destroy beauty
when they should protect it. Enlighten
ed park commissioners now encourage
the growth of bushes and small trees
beside the highway at great expense;
but in the country regions these very
bushes are cut away, with misdirected
zeal for making things tidy.
Ten women banded together into an
association for identifying and cleaning
the town can accomplish wonders.
There is certain village where such a
committee has wrought something like
miracle. They have put the sidewalks
in condition by picking off the stones,
cutting side drains, and keeping the
turf at the edge neatly clipped. Waste
barrels have been set in different parts
of the village; they are emptied twice a
week, and relieve the streets of the
hateful, wind blown papers. The billt
board nuisance has been abated. The
women have painted in a pleasant
green an Old covered bridge, which had
been disfgured with advertisements for
twenty years. They have also set up a
well-drained iron watering-trough, in
place of an unsanitary wooden one.
Finally, each of the ten women has
cultivated an attractive fower-garden
in front of her own house, and taken
down the fence separating it from the
street. Thus at one stroke they have
forced the citizens to keep cows and
hens off the streets. and built up a
healthy emulation in lawns and gardens,
until in June the whole village literally
blossoms like the rose.-The Youths
Companion.

A MODERN elmer"

Imagine a ship close on seven hun.
dred feet in length and with tonnage
of sixteen thousand driving through
the huge Atlantic waves at the rate of
more than twenty seven miles an hour!
The Auguste Victoria displaces over
forty thousand tons of water, and her
length is over one hundred feet, more
than double the height of the dome of
the Capitol at Washington. She has a
music room and a library, a flower
shop, string band and brass band, a
candy-shOp, an information bureau, a
manicure parlor, electric and saltwater
baths, a gymnasium, a nursery, palm
garden, an la carte restaurant and a
table d'hote restaurant,-withse seats for
over six hundred diners,-two smoking
rooms, and an elevator to carry passen.
gers between the six decks on which
they are berthed. She has crew of
of ladies' maids, trained nurses, gar
is of rare and beautiful varieties Of
wood, upholstered in silks, damasks,
tapestries and brocades.
thousands of electric lights make her
look like brilliantly illuminated town
on hillside. Lettering now in the
drawing room and then in the palm
garden, one has to see the surging bill
lows to be convinced that one is not in
some fashionable hotel ashore. She is
steered by steam, and her rudder weigh
ing many tons, is controlled by wheel
not more than four feet in diameter; a
child could turn it easily. An electric
telegraph and telephones put the cap
tain in communication with all parts
Of her.
High over the bridge one can see
what seems like an empty kite frame,
and that is the web that catches the
wireless message from other ships and
the land, and keeps us in touch with
both when nothing is visible of either.
They give their news to US, and we give
ours to them. 1t all appears in the
little newspaper that is published on
board every afternoon.
We are not likely to see this luxur-
lousness and substantial comfort sur
passed in our time, although further
novelties, such as swimming tank and
tailors' and dressmakers' shop for
pressing and repairing clothes are to
be introduced in a slightly larger ship
which the Hamburg line is
now building. William E. Rideing, in
