The Color Of jade,

The :1ea Of Jade possessing the vir-
tue Of bringing the wearer food for
tune arose in China, where the stone
is so valued that the finding Of par
tcularly fine piece causes the state to
take possession Of the land where 1t
was found. The best specimens rep
resent all the hues and effects Of sea
foam, but these are eagerly snapped
up by collectors and seldom come into
the public market. There Is another
cause for the popularity Of jade. It's
peculiar green ttnge has the effect OF
making the human skin look very
white. IN this connection the quality
Of the stone is Of no account so long
as the color Is there. Indeed, many
Of the less expensive jade ornaments
are made from chips Of the stone
which contain noticeable faws.-Pear-
sons

The Actress Retort.

Georgette Leblanc, the actress, wife
Of Maurice MaeterlincE, was on tour
in q French town, where the local COM
pany supported" her in one Of her
husbands plays
But the support was weak and halt
ing. The poets lines were mangled,
and several characters seemed unable
to understand what they were saying.
Nine. Leblanc sought out her man
ager and spoke to him.
"a writer ike Maeterlinck should be
treated with more respect"
Madame" he answered, IN, Maeter.
lnck Is not the first to suffer. So
phocles, Moliere, Racine, Shakespeare,
Goethe and other great. dramatists are
daily murdered In the same way"
Possibly, but they are not murdered
alive, at any rate"

A Curious Army Toast.

OF all the British regiments the
Welsh fusileers have the most curious
army toast. 1t forms part Of the cere'
mony Of the grand dinner given annu'
ally on St. David's day. After the din
ner the drum major, accompanied By
the goat, the mascot Of the fusieers,
bedecked with rosettes of red and blue
ribbon, marches around the table, car
rying a plate Of leells. Every officer or
guest who has never eaten one before
IS obliged tc do so, standing on bis
chair with one foot on the table, while
the drummers beat a roll behind his
chair. He is then considered q true
Welshman. All the toasts are coupled
with the name of st. David. It IS in
much this way that the toast with
highland honors is drunk. Each guest
stands with one foot on his chair and
one on the table, and the Dipers, a-pip'
ing, parade the room.

Bat not a Bale 10 Spin.

Instead Of closing down be-
cause of inability to secure raw
material, the Evansville, Ind,
cotton mills ought to have gone
into the New York market on
Thursday, where the ';bears" sold
some 200, 1000 bales at prices rang
ing around 81 cents.
It must have been the irony Of
fate that with 200, 600 bales going
at figures like that. the Evans
vile mills had to shut down for
want of raw material and turn
several hundred hands into idle
ness.
Doubtless there are other mills
in the country about to find them
selves in similar positions, but
why close down. when New York
has all that cotton for sale and
is, apparently, hungry for buy
ers?
Where they get it we do not
know, but surely the New York
:sproducers" have the staple or
they wouldn't sell it.
It would be preposterous,
wouldn't it, to assert that the
New Workers are selling some
thing they don't own or that does
not exist
Perhaps they grow it in Cen,
tral Park or pick it from New
York bay. We cannot say as to
that, but it stands to reason that
they get it somewhere, else how
could they sell it and how could
people buy?
Two hundred thousand bales
in one day! Think OF it, and that,
too, the very day on which the
Evansville mill shuts off the
steam because it's last bale had
been spun into yarn or cloth.
There must be something
wrong somewhere. We cannot
conceive that the Evansville mill,
in these days Of rapid trains and
telegraphs, was ignorant of the
fact that New York had 200, 900
bales of cotton to dispose of at
something like 81 cents the
pound, yet there is no record
that it even attempted to renew
it's supply of raw material in this
'sglutted" New York market.
Why was it, then, an opportun-
ity like this was so carelessly let
slip, when it was announced that
the only reason for ceasing oper.
ations was a lack of raw mater
ial?
There's something funnyin this
business that ought to be looked
into.
If New York has been surrep-
titiously growing cotton on the
Harlem flats, there has been Jug
Cling with the statistics, for it
has not been reported.
If, on the other hand, New
York is selling something it
hasn't got and cannot get-but
we cannot think it.
There's a mystery here some
Sherlock Holmes should get on
to at once. A nation waits breath
lessly it's solution.-Atlanta Con-
-stition.

About Feeding Horses.

''When the farmers of the south
learn to use more Of their cotton
products, learn to feed their
horses and stock with cotton seed
products, it will mean millions of
dollars to the south, part of
which every farmer will save for
himself. No report has ever
shown that injury to horse has
been result of feeding cotton
seed meal. Feed it every day.
That's why I do. 1t is not a hot
or a cold climate feed. Feed not
less than one pound nor more
than three, the amount to be de-
tern1ined by the age, size and
work of the animal. Not only is
1t the most nutritious food but it
greatly aids the digestion and
general health and good appear
ance of the animal.
Feed cotton seed meal with
anything you ever heard Of q
horse or mule eating corn, whole;
corn, cracked, ensilage; bran &c.
Don't stick to any one food. Give
a variety. Change as the price
changes. It is always best to
feed hard working stock ground
mot too fne) feed. Cotton seed
meal is fed to best advantage
when thoroughly mixed with the
other portion of the grain part
of the ration.
If you know what number OF
pounds of grain will maintain
your animal, reduce this two
pounds for every pound OF meal
you feed him. To illustrate this:
if you have been giving him II
pounds Of corn, give him now
only 10 pounds of corn and :
pounds of cotton seed meal. he
will soon improve and do better
work than ever before. :"

Hou Frozen Insects Revive.

Experimeuts in reyiving frozen In
sects by i naturalist show some sur
prising results. 4 large cecropia moth,
frozen In the center Of snoWba!l
until it was perfectly brittle, revived
In twenty seconds when held near q
stove. Several newly hatched 10 moths
revived in a similar manner after being
frozen stiff and then thawed out. Sim
liar experiments with ants, butterflies
and house flies gave the same results.
But the naturalist noticed that recent
ly hatched insects resist cold better
than older ones.

Present Giving Worse Than Tipping.

Present Giving Worse Than Tipping.
The trend Of the times makes itself
felt in the matter Of presents and
present giving. In the days of our
grandmothers these tokens Of affection
were few and far between and were
marked by stern simplicity. But we
have changed all that, and the up to
date riot Of presents means a deadly
drain on our bank balances.
The tipping tax is bad enough, but
the burden Of countless presents can
give it points and a beating.-London

quite determined that she must dis
appear. Her letter to Forde made it
more necessary than ever; he did not
trust her. for he asked how it was
that Forde could even put the ques-
ton his letters contained unless she
had given him some indication that
there was something to be told. No,
she was not to be trusted.
Perhaps the maxim, .tAlf is fair in
love and war;" is more frequently
quoted than any other, but like many
other maxims, it only glimpses half
truths IT would be truer to say that
it is the unexpected, the incalculable,
that is found to happen both in love
and war and these unforeseen things
occur because in both, men are driven
on by pressure of circumstances and
the untempered but unQuenchable
/ heat Of the blood to do things they
otherwise would not do, nor even
thing of doing And as this pressure
and this heat are common in greater
or less degree to all men, they have
united in Judging lightly, and even
calling fair, anything done under this
pressure and in this heat In a word,
it is human nature.
To kill Christabel was in a sense to
Dmitri an act of war, for all great in
dustries, and for that matter all lit
lie industries, are in state of war
with other industries of the same
kind. and for her to threaten the ex-
istence Of the vast Sisterson industry,
as she did by the possession Of it's
secret, was in a manner an act of war.
Trade competition is war, often brutal
war, though no blood is shed, but her
knowledge of the secret was more
serious even than competition, for it
struck at the very source of BUSH
ness. 1t was fair, therefore, thought
Dmitri, to put her out of the way. 1t
was fair to read her letters, to destroy
them In word, again, it was human
nature
But what is to be the end when war
conflicts with love? 1t is one OF the
most interesting problems in the
world. And here was man with a
character at bottom immobile, but
based on half-savage lines. He had de-
termined that his enemy, this English
girl Christabel Joyce. should die; but
there is always but in mortal
life-what now happened Slapped his
determination until love was the foe
he had to fight. 1t came about very
simply.
Christabel had given to Katia her
letter TO Norman Forde-the letter
Dmitri had read-and Katia had hand
ed it, along with one from Mary to
Lady Sisterson, to Dmitri at the mid
day dejeuner with the remark that
Mary was so tired after her journey
that she proposed staying in bed for
the day. and Katia added that the
nurse would remain with Mary.

AN AUTOGRAPH FAN.
Young Society Woman's Revenge That
Proved Effective.

One of our young society women
has a very good looking husband, Of
whom she is most proud. Having no.
ticed that this gentleman was praying
marked attention to a lady in her
own set. she kept a careful watch and
was fortunate enough to discover
among her husbands papers a num-
her of letters written by the said
lady.
She then reflected as to what course
she should pursue. She thought long,
and at last hit upon strange plan.
q From among the correspondence the
lady selected four letters, pasted them
on the back of the fan, and then ac-
companied her husband to dinner
where she knew she would meet her
rival. 1t was not long before the fan
attracted the attention of the guests,
who asked to be allowed to look at it.
The fan then passed from hand to
hand, and when it reached the rival
she turned crimson, and under the
pretext of a sudden indisposition
withdrew hastily.
