ton Board.
New York, Feb. 8.-The immense
sum of $4,000, 900 is the browning gift
Of John D. Rockefeller for the purpose
of promoting the general cause of edu-
cation. This stupendous gift was made
to the general education board, the
body specially created by congress
four years ago to administer the
Rockefeller charities in the cause Of
education.
Added to the SILL 900, 900 which the
head Of the Standard Oil trust already
had placed at the disposal of that body
1t makes a grand total of $43, 600. 900.
Ultimately, it is said, the fund of the
general education board is to be raised
to $50,000,000 through donations by
other rich men,. friends of the Rookie
fellers who are interested with him in
his charitable enterprises.
OF the $32, 900, 900 one-third is to go
into the permanent endowment fund
of the general education board and
two-thirds is to be applied to certain
specific purposes by the direction of
John d. Rockefeller or his son, John
D., Jr.
Just what these specific purposes
are was not made public, but in a gen
eral way it was stated that the inter-
est on the fund is to be used in help
ing colleges and schools, not only in
the South but in all parts of the coun-
try.

Neglected Colds Threaten Life.
From the Chicago Tribune.]

Aoha O1S LAASaSO
"Don't trife with a cold" is good ad-
vice for prudent men and women. 1t
may be vital in the case of a child.
Proper food, good ventilation, and dry,
warm clothing are the proper safeguards
against colds. If they are maintained
through the changeable weather of
autumn, winter and spring, the chances
of a surprise from ordinary colds will be
slight. But the ordinary light cold will
become severe if neglected, and a we'll
established ripe cold is to the germs of
diphtheria what honey is to the bee.
The greatest menace to child life at this
season of the year is the neglected cold.
Whether it is a child or adult, the cold
slight or severe, the very best treatment
that a be adopted is to give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. 1t is safe and
sure. The great popularity and I'M
mense sale of this preparation has been
attained by its remarkable cures of this
ailment. A cold never results in pneu-
monia when it is given. For sale by N.

The Ruby.

There are four degrees Of merit in
the ruby class. The first is the deep
blood red oriental ruby-the %"cochineal
~red"-pure, suggestive, without adj
mixture Of the brown or violet. The
second is the spinel, almost as beauti-
full as the oriental, but a shade less
rich, less supreme in color. The third
is the balas, a rose red ruby, valuable
in proportion to it's depth of tint and
esteemed perfect only when it attains
a certain size and weight. A small
pale balas ruby is Of very meager
value. The fourth is the almandine, or
rubicele, of a yellowish red, oftentimes
tinged with brown. The Brazilian to-
paz is not infrequently made to pass
for balas ruby. 1t is heated in a cruel
BILE filled with sand, which drives off
the yellow and fills in the rose red tint
Of the balas ruby. Garnets. too. have

'"S "
cepted-His Position Causes Delay
in Deciding the Question of Accept
ing One of the Offers Made.
Washington, Feb. 8.-The admins
tration has been brought face to face
with, the alternative of rejecting all
bids for the construction of the Pan
m canal by contract or losing the
services of Chief Engineer John r.
Stevens. This is the reason for the
delay of President Roosevelt, Secre-
tary Taft and Chairman Shonts of
the canal commission in acting on the
Oliver bid. An effort has been made
to get MI. Stevens to change his mind,
but he has continued obdurate and
the indications are that the admins
tration will accede to his request and
the construction will be continued by
the government.
This information in regard to the
position taken by MI. Stevens comes
from a source that cannot be doubt
ed, but it has created some surprise
on account of testimony given by Mr..
Stevens before the senate committee
on interoceanic canals a year ago. He
then said that he favored
Building the Canal by Contract.
He was of the opinion that contrac-
tors would be in a better position to
deal with the question of laborers.
Since then he has gone over the canal
plans carefully and he now expresses
the belief that the canal can be con-
structed by the government within a
period of ten years. His friends have
advised him that if a contract is let
for construction he will be robbed of
the credit of building this great water
way. Frequent exchanges of cable
grams between Washington and the
isthmus have resulted in a demand
by Mr.. Stevens for the acceptance of
his resignation if the contract is
awarded.
1t is asserted by certain senators
who have taken an unusual interest in
all matters relating to the canal that
If one of the bids for canal construc-
ton is accepted it will mean that the
administration has determined to dis
pose of MI. Stevens as the director
Of the canal construction.
