HIDDEN TREASURE.
New zeaIanders Dig For kauri Gum
In tbe Ground

New zealanders Dig For kauri Gum
In the Ground.
Many New Zeaanders find 1t profit
able to dig for hidden treasure. That
for which they dig, however is not
gold or Captain Kidd's Ill gotten
wealth, though it has a dull yellow
color 1t is kauri gum, a resinous sub
stance which Is the product of the
kauri pine tree The gum can be Sc.
cured from the trunks of trees while
they are alive. for 1t protrudes in
Jumps, but it is especially profitable
to dig for it in the soil about the
stumps remaining after the trees have
been cut down. Sometimes chunks
weighing as much as 100 pounds are
taken up from the ground.
Digging for kauri gum Is profitable
for the gum is used In the manufacture
of varnish. and apparently 1t Is one Of
those products of nature whose place
cannot be filed by anything else which
has yet been discovered. 1t has been
found that it can be ussd In certain
enamel paints. and this has had the
effect of bringing the demand up to q
point above the supply.
The kauri pine is n magnificent tree.
1t rises as straight as a needle to a
height of from $50 to 200 feet and
attains at times a diameter Of fifteen
feet. 1t is noted for its dark, dense
foliage and Is much used for masts

SHELLS THAT SWIM.
These Peculiar Fish Are Mostly Con-
fined to Tropical Seas.

The idea of shells being found any
where else except upon the seabeach
or in river beds is IL little startling.
Yet the naturalist who pursues his
work from Il ship in midocean can and
does collect shells by the thousand at
every dip of his net or bucket
Swimming shclliish are mostly con.
fined to tropical seas. The most fa-
mliar is the nautilus, which is, how
ever, not II shelltish ut all, but near
relation of the cuttlefish; also it is
only seen on the surface at certain
time of tn" year. The real ocean she'll
fish are mostly very small. In the In
dian ocean they may be seen by mil
lions. One which bears the appalling
name of Cavolinia trispinosa has the
odd popularity of coming to the sur
face at sharp every evening. An
other the Cleodora tridentata, rises
at I.
Frail as these tiny shellfsh are, no
storm ever Injuries them. They all
possess the peculiar power of being
able at will to sink few feet below
the surface of the sea, and there they
remain when gales blow, perfectly
safe, and rise again when the weather
improves.
The largest of these ocean swim.
mers is about three inches In length.
Almost all are most brilliant in color
and their shells far frazier and more
glossy than those found upon the sea
beach.

SCOTCH SUPERSTITiONS.
curious Methods That Were Adopted
In sickness and Death.


A method much in vogue in Scotland
at one time of ascertaining whether
sickness would prove fatal was to dig
two holes in the ground, one called the
quick grave, the other the dead hole.
The sufferer was then placed between
the two, and the hole toward which he
turned indicated what would be the
outcome of his malady. Sometimes a
piece of rock was broken over the head
of person whose last agonies were
painful alike to himself and to those
who witnessed them. 1t was believed
that the heart of the sick man would
thus be broken and his release hasten
ed Windows and doors are always
thrown wide open in order that the de-
parting spirit may have free egress
from the house and escape from the
inthrall his soul
During the interval between death
and burial hens and cats were kept
carefully shut up. A person meeting
these animals at such juncture was
doomed to blindness in the future.
Moreover, unless stream divided the
two houses, farmers frequently refrain
ed from yoking their oxen or horses be-
fore the body was "laid under the turf
of truth" Many women preserved,
with the greatest reverence, their
bridal attire to cover them in the cof-
fin. Bread and water We're placed in
the chamber of death, for during the
night prior to the burial the spirit Of
the departed one came to partake of
them. Stillborn children and little ones
who had not been blessed by the min
lister were buried before sunrise. In
this way their admission to the land of
promise was assured. Not to observe
the practice was to destine the souls of
these BARNS to wander homeless and
disconsolate.
The fate of the suicide Is lamentable.
His body cannot rest in the kirkyard,
for it would taint the souls of those
who lie therein. Frequently he was
buried in lone dixie which separated
two lairds' estates, and passersby were
expected to cast pebble at the rude
stone which marked the place.

WHY SILHOUETTE.
A Curious Bit of History Wrapped
Up In the Word.

Up In the Word.
The making of Silhouettes can hard
ly be classed among the lost arts, since
there Is so little art about them. The
best of them represent the human pro
file in crude way, and they were re.
garded as rather a cheap kind of pic
lures even in the days when they were
most popular. Indeed, the very word
silhouette means something poor and
cheap. and 1t had its origin in a spirit
of ridicule. 1t is taken from Etienne
de Silhouette, who was Il French cab.
met minister in the year 1859, when
the treasury of France was very low
because of costly wars with Britain
and Prussia and by the eXtravagances
of the government. When Etienne de
Silhouette became minister of finance
he set about making great reforms In
the public expenditures. He was by
nature very "clOse" man. and he
went to such extremes in keeping
down the public expenses that he
brought great ridicule upon himself,
and finally anything that was cheap
and poor was referred to as la Sill
houette.
A very crude picture Vas popular at
that time. 1t was made by tracing the
shadow or profile of a face projected
by the light of candle on a sheet Of
white paper and the outline defined
with a pencil This was such a very
poor and cheap sort of picture that
It was at once called a silhouette In
further derision of the very saving
French minister, and the name has
"stuck." 1t is an instance of the curl.
GUS derivation of some words in com.
mon use, and this unkind slur on o
man who was really trying to intro
duce needed reforms in the spending
of the public money has long been ac.
cepted as a good and proper word In
deed, there is no other word used for
pictures of this kind, although there
were such pictures long before NJ. Ell

Yes, ANA that's just the reason I'm

tainly forget little boy when he takes
him to the circus, and then what would

Really this was awful. Willie had
never seen his dear little aunt in such
state but she was very sweet to him
and took him out driving that after
noon, stopping in the village to buy
him candy and lots of fireworks for the

he said grimly. "Girls are queer crea-

some day. But don't say another word
about the circus. I'll fix 1t some way.
You're going to see it as sure as your

two days. On the morning of the
Fourth he was firing off his crackers

said never word of complaint. She
had made up her mind to take him to
the circus herself and to get away early
to avoid any possible conflict with her
former great friend, the commodore
now stranger forever.
Before lunch was over, however the
commodore's touring car stopped at the
door and the commodore was standing
on the porch, cap in hand, announcing
that he had come.

Willie looked anxiously from one to

"Oh yes, auntie!" cried Willie, jump

Marjorie tried hard to look cold and

Would you spoil that childs day?"
asked the commodore, coming closer.
Marjorie 'easeI" His eyes urged her
as well as his voice.
She looked ut him. "All right, I'll go.
But It's just on Willle's account"

REAL RHEUMATISM.

Acid In the Blood.
Rheumatism, so called, is probably

In technical language Is known as IL
thaemia, sometimes called American
gout.
The real disease of rheumatism is the
result of an accumulation in the blood
of imperfectly converted food, prlnci-
pally uric acid. This accumulation Is
due TO intemperance in eating and
drinking and insufficient active exer-

Heredity in some cases seems to play
an important part. In the great major

GORDON BlEU.
Origin of the French Title as Applied
to a Fine Cook


The Order of the St Esprit was ere
ated in 1857, was suppressed by the
revolution and was revived by Louis
XVIII. In 1914 To speak rightly, Louis
XVIII. considered that the order had
never ceased to exist, for he had given
two collars during his exile, In 1910,
the one to Francis l., king of the two
Sicilies, and the other to his brother,
the Prince of Salerno, the father of his
brothers wife, the Duchess dAumale.
The ribbon of this order was light
blue color. 1t was worn around the
neck in the reigns of Henry III. and
Henry ", but was changed by Louis
XIV, when it was worn across the
chest The Chevaliers of the ct Esprit
were always known under the name of
Les Gordon Bleu, and this was the su-
preme honor during the monarchy of
France. 1t was from this that the title
Of Gordon beu" was given to Il first
class cook. A gentleman one day de-
clared after good meal that he who
had cooked the dinner had proved him
