New Jewels.

One Of the latest Partisan fancies
IN jewels to be taken up by smart
London women Is corsage garniture
of a fishnet drapery set with dia-
monds, the whole forming brilliant
scintillating drapery.
The fisher net is filet work of eX-
ceedingly fine gold threads, the
meshes formed of diamonds. The
drapery covers the shoulders and
droops several inches, and is made
entirely by hand.
Mrs. Observation-Disclosures, sister
of Mrs. Ogden Mills, wore this sort of
diamond meshwork on the corsage of
a royal blue robe, and Mrs. Edward
Ward, a recent bride, wore similar
net of diamonds over a clinging black
satin. Lady Camden was also seen
in a pink robe having the diamond
meshed net, and in each case two
large diamond tassels and diamond
set cords fastened the jeweled drapery
at the back.
The inverted tiara is another little
fad in jewels. This is a straight band
from which jeweled joints descend,
disappearing in the couture.
Mrs. Waldorf Aston wore one Of
these inverted diadems the same
evening that the diamond studded
corsage draperies were seen.
The Duchess of Rutland also wore
a new pattern in diadems; in this
instance 1t was a pointed crown of
wheat ears meeting in the front, and
Queen Alexandra wore similar Golf
fure ornament, but instead of wheat
ears diamond thistle rose from the
centre.-New York Times.

The "Happy eurman."

The Burmese are remarkable for
contentedness and happiness Of tenn
permanent. Probably they are the gay
est and most light-hearted people in
all the world, but they are also alb
normally proud-Europeans will say
rldiculously conceited-in one re-
spect They are Buddhists, and theiIl
faith teaches them that for that real
son alone they are far above all othef
races. They have also a very strong
inherent conviction about their own
superiority. AS q matter of fact the
Burmese have many grave defects OF
character. They are incorrigibly idle
and slovenly and improvident, and
they are inveterate gamblers; but
there is something in their natural ur
banity which always claims for them
tho kindly sympathy of Europeans.
With Tommy Atkins" In particular
Jack Burman" is a great favorlte.
Among the many virtues that the Bur
mese possess are courtesy, tolerance,
gentleness and certain public spir
1t which, in the past, has permitted
the native rulers of the country to
leave many public works, such as the
construction of the roads and bridges,
etc., to the care of private individuals
lmbued with a spirit Of self-sacrifice.

RoTHsCHILD MARRIAGES.
Large Number of Unions Between
Cousins Belonging to the Family.


Large Number of Unions Between
Cousins Belonging to the Family.
The founder of the Rothschild
family, Mayer Amschel of the Red
Shield, dying in 1912, exhorted his
FIVE sons, engaged as loan mongers
under him in Frankfort, Vienna,
London, Paris and Naples, not only
to remain faithful to the law of Moses
and stand ever united, but to under
take nothing of Importance without
first consulting their mother.
Nathan, founder of the London
branch, also was SO convinced of the
business capacities of his wife, a
Cohen, that he not only left the huge
residue of his fortune at her dispos-
al, but, says the Ladies' Realm, adj
ded instruction that his sons were to
engage in no undertaking of moment
without her consent.
How far the instruction was OBJ
served one is not in position to say,
but 1t is certain the Rothschilds have
done their best to live in family
unity, for, from the gentle point of
view the number that have married
cousins is appalling. OF the five
children of the great Nathan each
married a cousin.
And, coming to contemporaries,
Lord Rothschild is the son of cousins
and the husband of a cousin. Re-
turning to Nathan, the Sidonia of
"Coningsby, though his offspring
ID srried cousins, a reaction followed
in the next generation, for three of
his granddaughters, two of whom
have been already named, married
not only out Of the family but out
of the faith.

Canadian Dairy Industry.

Dominion Dairy Commissioner Rud-
dick recently gave evidence before
the Committee Of Agriculture in re-
spect to the progress made by the
dairying industry of the Dominion,
and discussed the theory that because
there has been a shrinkage in the ex-
ports Of dairy produce to Great Bril-
tain the industry has not been maxi
ing Roadway. The largely increased
local consumption, he said, is in the
main responsible for the reduction of
exports. He gave figures to show
that between 1900 and 1907 the
value of cheese, butter, milk and con-
densed milk produced in Canada
grew from 100000 to s35,450,-
900. Including the dairy butter and
all other products of the industry its
annual value to the country is about
$94, 100000 Ten years ago he said
no condensed milk was produced in
Canada, and at thepresent time there
are several factories which have an
output Of nearly $1,O00,0O0 annual
ly.-Weekly Witness.

Loon and Gull.

A great northern diver made its
appearance at the Cove and spent a
part of the winter there, and as he
was not disturbed and grew accus-
toned to the sight Of human beings
he lost and shyness and fished close
to the rocks. One day they saw him
with q small fiat fish which ne could
not swallow By and by black-head'
I'd gull swan to him and began fol
lowing him and making snatches at
the founder each time the diver
tossed 1t up. But the diver would not
let him have the fish; he simply
turned round to get away from the
teasing gull, and the quiet way In
which he took 1t only emboldened the
other, until he became quite excited
and was almost violent in his efforts
to get the fish. Then suddenly the
diver, dropping the fish, turned on
him and struck him like lightning,
driving his sharp powerful beak into
his neck or the base of his skull.
The gull tapped his wings violently
once or twice, then turned over and
foated away, belly up, quite dead.
Instantly after dealing the blow the
diver went down and quickly reap
peared with the founder, and re-
sumed tossing and catching 1t again,
just as If nothing had happened, while
the dead gull slowly drifted further
and further away.-The Lands End.
