Interesting Wives of sOrdid Men.


Occasionally one comes in contact
with a number of ladies' who are
much more interesting than their hus-
bands. They know more outside OF
the sordid and dull business of money
making. know a farmer aid his
wife, writes a correspondent of Mon
treal Herald, who hardly seem to live
in the same world. The farmer is a
nice fellow, but his interest in things
Is bounded by the fences of his farm,
with a hazy-eyed look occasionally ut
party politics. His wife, on the con-
Irary, is an intellectual force in the
neighborhood. She has made reading
OF the better sort popular within her
sphere of influence; and there are
few subjects of human interest upon
which she has not formed an intelli-
gent opinion. 1t is not that her orr
ginal education was any better than
her husbands; but that she has had
more time since to supplement it, or
at all events has taken more time.
In many cases it is opportunity which
gives the wife the better education
the higher culture. The husband is
so busy manipulating stocks or hand
ling his business that he has no time
or mental force for the study OF art,
the reading of good literature or the
cultivation of q musical taste. His
wife, on the other hand, is put by his
efforts in so happy a financial posi-
zion that she enjoys considerable
leisure; and she spends it on mental
culture instead Of taking an empty
course of afternoon functions" and
keeping up to the latest thing in fash
ion and gossip. Europe is full OF
travelling tourist wives who are both
interested and interesting, touching
all that makes up the culture of that
continent, while their husbands will
only run over occasionally for its curl
Osities and amusements. For the vast
majority who cannot go to Europe
there is the home culture of the IL
brary.

Rubies and Diamonds.

Heirs TO the dream of the alchem-
lists, who sought to transmute base
metals into gold, many scientists to-
day are striving to unite the cheap
elements which make up precious
stones, and SO build us jewels while
we wait Theoretically the task is
simple. Practically, the difficulty Of
counterfeiting that welding point of
heat and pressure which existed
when the molten earth was cooling is
very great. Apparently it can be
done. Whoever fuses alumina with
chromium oxide in the OXy-hydrogen
flame may obtain veritable ruby.
The diamond is tougher opponent,
but MOissan points out the road to
success. BY saturating molten iron
with carbon in the electric furnace at
a temperature of $500 degrees, and
then suddenly cooling the mass, he
produced the pressure necessary to
crystalline the carbon, and obtained
minute but real diamonds. Lately
Sir Andrew Noble obtained worlds
record temperature of $500 degrees
from the pressure of cordite exploded
in closed vessels of iron, and in the
residue of the explosion chamber
small diamonds were found. In the
near future. perhaps, methods will be
found of producing all crystals in the
size, homogeneity of texture, and col
oring which make them precious
stones. No longer, then, says Col
Iier's, will the blood-stained gems Of
Indian princes glow in the pages of
sixth-rate novels. In our ehildren's
children. it may be, the tales of the
Arabian Nights" will wake no Wis
Ions of unearthly wealth, and the ad-
venture of Mowgli with the Bandar-
Log of the Forgotten City will have
to be explained.

EHAW GOES ON TRIAL FOR MURDER
MOST SENSATIONAL CASE or
PRESENT GENERATION.
Principal Witnesses Of The state Have
Their Final Secret Conference
With Jerome.

New York, Jan. 23.-The principal
witnesses for the state in the case of
Harry h. Thaw, who will go on trial
for the murder Of Etanford White, had
their final secret conference with the
state attorney and his assistants.
Nearly all the witnesses who are eX-
pected to testify against Thaw have
been reached by subpoenas and were
on hand. They were taken to the con-
ference room and each was questioned
with the purpose of learning just what
testimony may be expected when the
witnesses go ON the stand.
Thaw passed a quiet night in his
cell and was up early in anticipation
of a long session with his attorneys
and the customary daily visits from
his wife, mother and sisters.
The calendar Of the crimianl branch
Of the New York state supreme court
was cleared for his trial.
The Thaw case stands next on the
calendar, and there appears to be
nothing to prevent the opening Of the
trial as scheduled.
After delay upon delay, postpone
nent and postponement, promise and
announcement, the trial which is to
be one of the most sensational hon.
tcide case of generation will begin
1t can not be phophesied when it will
end or how. The prosecution has
stated that its prosecution will be
brief and devoid Of anything but the
Testimony to show that Mr.. Stanford
White famous architect, was shot and
killed on the roof Of Madison Square
Garden on the night Of June 25: that
the killing was deliberate, and efforts
will be made TO show that it was pre-
mediated. One dozen witnesses will
suffice for that, and with special jury
panel that end of the case need not
take more than two weeks.
TIE defense laid down by Daniel
Voorhees, in the Sickles case, that IF
a man may defend his goods and chat
tells from invasion by robbers, how
much more should he defend the sane
tity of his homer" is stated in no text
book and no jurists have ever ap-
proved it, but 1t stands, unwritten as it
is, effective just the same. It can not
be said with assurance now if the one
or the other or both will be employed.
The young man himself insists that he
shall stand or fall by the latter; mem
bers Of his family are inclined toward
the first Time alone will tell.
