AGATES FOUND IN OREGON.

| More Valuable Than Those Which
Como from Germany or Mexico.
Walter H. Written of Newberg was
In the city recently displaying a por-
ton of his wonderful collection OF
agates, says the Portland (Ore.) cor
respondent of the New York Herald.
| Written has been toiling away for
twenty years, accommodating agates Off
the Oregon coast, principally near
Newport, aud Ii Is doubtful IL there
is a larger or finer collection any
where In the world than II possessed
by this man.
Written stated that he Is installing
machinery and equipment In his lspi-
dairy at home so that he can grind and
polish the rough agate. no matter Of
how great size, obviating the necessity
of shipping the raw stone to Germany
and shipping the finished agate back
again, on which the duty must be paid
both ways.

saving the cost Of shipment abroad, as
well as the duty both ways.
Every kind of agate known is
found In the silica deposits at New
port-the carnelian. the cloudy, the
moss, the coral, the moonstone, the
| jasper and SO on. The winter is the
best time to find them, for during this
season the ocean current changes Its
direction and washes away the sur
face sand clear to the gravel, in which
deposits the rough agates Of all kinds
may be found. Sometimes the agate
season lasts but a couple of weeks,
/ depending entirely upon the inexplica-
Bile caprices of the sea, the winds, the
tide and currents.
The pure grayish white silica gives
US the soft warm-tinted coral agates,
the dark silica with oxides OF manga
nese are the base Of the cloudy and
the moss, while the red silica with its
iron gives us the carne ian and the
| jasper, and where both iron and man.
ganese occur we have the moonstone.
The coral and the cloudy are the
| finest and most delicate of tint and
suggest purity, while the carnelian
and the jasper are the warm, rich,
glowing stones. perhaps the most val
liable and most eagerly sought.

I'll. Reason why Women Talk.


Many attempts have been made by
scientists to explain why it is that
women the world over are more talka-
tive than men. One recent theory, we
recall, was that talk, through mouth
and throat, does not tire women as 1t
does men. A man wearies after dis
courslng for awhile, but woman can
chatter all day long and be as fresh as
when she started.
However that may be, the reason
why women wish to talk more than
men wish to do so is stated by Father
Bernard Vaughn of London to be that
women must have many safety valves
and outlets for her temperament. She
is so high-strung and emotional that If
she did not talk she might be expected
to burst. Nature has provided the re-
lief she needs, has made her like to
talk, has made it easy for her. There
fore, she talks, and it were vain to ex-
pect to stop her, as it would obviously
be unwise and contrary to the great
scheme of things.
For the most extraordinary phenom-
ena in the world there Is underneath
valid cause, If we can but find it,

Always lean back when reading. OF
if this is not possible. rest your book
on the table in such Il manner that top
and bottom Of page are equally faI

Never read, or permit your children
TO read, with an imperfect light. Short
sight is often produced in this way
especially in young people.

Avoid Wrinklea.

Frequently wrinkles are the result
OF bad habits, such as repeated con-
tracing of the eyebrows, which forms
small lines-sometimes one deep one
between the brows; the lifting Of the
eyebrows, which results in transverse
lines on the forehead.
A stereotyped smile frequently Inn
prints a heavy furrow from nose to
corner of mouth on either side.
Little lines about the mouth are
usually the result of much laughter
these, to my mind, are not objection,
able; good humor and gayety being
more conducive to beauty than lines
are to ugliness.
