A New Gem discovered.

The discovery of new gem is a
matter Of interest not only to the
finder himself and to scientists, but
to people generally as well, and to
San Diego County, California, belongs
the distinction and honor Of having
produced stone, new and beautiful"
writes Mrs. w. e. Burke In the Tech
meal World Magazine. "This county
has Of late years contributed goodly
share of precious and semi-precious
stones to the collection Of gems which
the wEld already knew of and priced.
1t would seem that Nature in cap
rlclous mood had chosen the canyons
or the Coast range which traverse the
central portion of the country as a
hiding place for the most treasured
jewels. Here in the rugged recesses
Of the brush-covered foothills are
found in brilliant array gems of great
beauty and value. The beryl, bright
as the sun; hyacinth, dazzling in It's
sheen; topaz, in many exquisite shades,
and tourmalines in suite of colors
that can be claimed by no other gem.
Occasionally a sapphire, or ruby with
fame-like colors is found.
But kunsite-the precious kunsIte !!
1t is a gem which has but one rival,
the diamond. In some ways indeed
kunsite out-dlamonds the diamond.
Kunsite is distinctively San Diego
stone. Although tourmaline, hyacinth.
beryl and topaz are found in brilliant
perfection, these gems are also found
in other parts Of the world, but kun
site has been found only in San Diego
County,"

For more than ten years Hon. James
Wilson has held the position of Sec
rotary of Agriculture and under him
the department has grown tosbe one
of the most important of the branches
of government. When he became Sec
rotary, the department consisted Of a
few scientists and couple of roll-top
desks and was not seriously regarded
anywhere. He proceeded at once to
revolutionize 1t, his main idea being to
protect the home market and grab all
the foreign trade he could. He acted
on the theory that this was the Little
Father department of the government.
and that the development of the In
dustry which he represented was his
chief concern. While other cabinet of
ficers devote themselves to the routine
humdrum of their duties, writes a
Washington correspondent, Wilson has
been "projlcking" around the whole
globe in search Of things. He has de-

carpenters favorite tool is little

country, and l am going to find him
some time He is losted," he said con-
fidentlally, looking up in David's face.
David took the child up the altar
steps, and showed him where the little
boys sang each Sunday In their cas-
socks and surplices. Bennie's disap-
pointment was great when told that he
was hardly old enough to sing.
But I'll soon be growed," he added
with sigh and an afterthought.
Then David showed him the picture
OF the Infant Jesus on His Mothers
knee, and Bennle remarked as-he look
ed at 1t, HE amt got no ladder like
me, maybe, but his mudder loves him."
Then David knew the child had lost
his father, and he said 'mudder" lust
as Birdie-girl had done years ago, when
they had walked in the cornfields to-
gether. He could almost fancy it was
Birdie-glrl that was claspIng his hand
now, SO real did the long forgotten in
cident return, until the sound of Mary's
voice brought him back from the land
of dreams.
Now, Master Bonnie, we must 70 at
once. Mamma will want you. Say
goodbye to the kind gentleman and
come along"
Goodbye, Mr.. Story Man; IL come
again tomorrow, will you show me
more things?"
David promised, and the next day,
and for number of days the proceed
ings were repeated, for it gave Mary
chance to chat with her many friends
whom she met at church.
1t was great day at the cathedral.
Confirmation service was to be held and
many Bishops of renown were to speak.
David was very busy until late Then
he thought he would go into the body
Of the great church, and listen HIM
self to the wonderful singing and beau
tiful services.
He was looking around for seat,
when Bennles voice whispered out
from one Of the pews:
"Mr. Story Man, here's lots of room
with us. Do come" and, taking Da-
vid's wrinkled hand in his, he drew him
In the pew which was occupied by a
lady and the child.
After Bennlc had pointed out to Da-
vid one of the Bishops as his grand
ladder" he stuck his little hand in that
of his new found friend and settled
down quietly to listen to the singing
1t was long service, and David and
Bonnie wearied long before it was over,
but they sat 1t out bravely, hand in
hand, while Bennie's mother, her thick
veil lowered, watched them long and
earnestly.
When the great cathedral doors were
opened, and the vast congregation dis
persed she led the way to quiet part
of the church, followed by Bennle and
David. Then she turned and faced
them, raising the heavy crepe folds OF
the veil from her face.

saving sweet Potato Crop.

Professor G. W. Carver, director Of
the Tuskegee Institute, Of Alabama, has
been experimenting for five years "
discover the best way OF saving sweet
potatoes. His conclusions are, that the
belief that many people have that sweet
potatoes will not keep unless planted,
dug and banked during certain phases
Of the moon, is all wrong.
Immature potatoes are subject to
all kinds of diseases which attack the
tubers when stored. Professor Carver
makes the following suggestions for
caring for the crop:
Dig when both the air and ground
are dry.
Remove the vines with sharp hoe
or vine cutter. Cure the vines and
store them away. They make excel
lent hay.
Dig before the frost injuries the vines
to any extent.
Dig in the morning and allow the
potatoes to lie out all day.
Gather in baskets or boxes holding
not more than one bushel each.
Handle with great care, as they are
easily bruised, and every injury les

The old superstition about wolf
teeth in horses is still considered with
good deal of respect by some people.
Many horse troubles are attributed to
these supernumerary teeth, when in re-
5ality the trouble comes from another
source. Competent authorities say that
wolf teeth never cause eye troubles
or blindness and do no harm unless
they injure the cheek or the tongue
by being out of position SO that the
bit hurts the mouth. Shedding of the
molar teeth sometimes causes sore
eyes, which Is believed to be wolf
teeth. We do not believe in the bar
barous custom of punching out the
teeth unless a competent veterinarian
advises 1t.

learn that in the middle of the eight
zenith century the common carrier be-
tween Selkirk and Edinburgh, dis
lance of thirty-eight miles, required
two days to make the journey. In
1878 1t took a day and half for a
stagecoach to go from Edinburgh to
Glasgow, only forty-four miles away.
About the same time the swiftest
stages seldom covered the road be-

miles, in less than two weeks, an aver

THE FARTHER HILLS.

The clouds upon the mountains rest;
A gloom is on the autumn day:
But down the valley, in the west,
The sudden sunlight breaks its way
A light lies on the farther hills.
Forget thy sorrow, heart of minel
Though shadows fall and fades the leaf
Somewhere is joy, though tits not thine;
The power that sent can heal thy grief !;
And light lies on the farther hills.
Thou wouldst not with the world be one
Hrne'er thou knewest hurt and wrong {;
Take comfort, though the darkened sun
Never again bring CLEAN or song
The light lies on the farther hills.
