rurouoises and the Monsols..

.,iTuruuoises are the fayorite stones of,
all the Mongol races and are generally
worn in their original state except by,
the Chinese women, who have them
roughly cut and wear them mixed with
pearls and coral. Both the Tibetan
men and women ornament themselves
with lump surquoises,. the men we,lr-

The women of Ladakh carry thsir
fortunes on, their heads in the shape
Of broad strip of red cloth studdGd
with huge turquoises, which, startiIEg
from the Forehead, is carried oyer q le
head and hangs nearly to the waist.
By the Ladakhis those turquoises are
preferred that have little black specls
on them, which show their genuine
ness, for even in the wilds Of ,cenrsd
Asia the spotless blue composition
emanating from Europe is offered for
sale, the bazaar at Darjeeling being
flooded with it.
The Bhutia women In the. Darjeeling
district wear quaint brass ornaments
covered with chip turquoises, which
are cheap, but. the Mongoiians have
the embossed silver plates which form
such becoming headgear studded
with really fine turquoises, for which
the owners have to give valuable furs'
in exchange.-Cornhill Magazine. I

What Is Il. a Lobster?

That the methods Of public school
instruction as applied in one city at
least do not always meet the approba-
ton of the parents Of the pupils was
evidenced when German man whose
bristly blond hair was standing per-
fectly erect with anger strobe into a
Baltimore school one day and, ap-
preaching the principal, demanded:
"vot is it, lobster?"
The principal explained in his suav-
est tone that lobster was a species
Of shellfsh.

The number Of legs was promptly
stated.

Saved His Rupees.

During a great food at Haidarabad a
native banker, overtaken by the sud-
den rush of water, made his way on
to a mound, where he was quickly iso-
lated, The water rose, and the bank
er's legs were covered to his knees:
FIFTY rupees (about fa 7s), 80 rupees"
he shouted, s"to any one who will save
mew When the water reached his
shoulder he was shouting, "One thou
sand rupees!" When enveloped to his
neck, with death staring him in the
face, he yelled: Help, help! All that l
have will INgiye to any one to save
mep' Shortly after the water began
to recede. When once more he was
covered only to his knees an offer Of
rescue came. But the banker, pluck
ing up his courage, cfied: "Keep off!
Keep off! I will not give a rupee"
and succeeded In making his escape
free of charge.-St. James Gazette.

Mon. Women and RundIes.

"Wrap them up separately" said the
woman at the counter, "and not in one
big package"
And then, still speaking to the clerk,
though obviously for the benefit of
others within hearing, she went on: =
"It looks better to carry lot of little
bundles than one big one, and it's
easier too. You can pack them in
handily between one arm and the body
and leave the other arm free. Now,
If all these. things were in one big
package, I would have to- use both
hands to it or run the risk Of drop
ping it,
So saying she slowed her purchases
deftly along her left side, keeping
them In place with her arm, and de-
parted. A man who had keard her
looked incredulous and when his turn
at the counter came had all his pack
Rges mdde into one big bundle and
@.ed securely. AS he slipped his fin
gers under the cord and lifted the bun
die of the counter he remarked: =
'This Is my way. If all these things
were in separate packages I'd lose half
of them before going a block."-New

Tho Devilfish In Action.
A naturalist who observed devil
fishes in action says that he thought
no more diabolical. creature could be
Imagined. They resembled enormous
bats and in following one another
around in circle raised the outer tip
of one Of the long winglike fins high
out of the water in graceful curve,
the other being. deeply submerged.
They might be seen now gliding down
with a flying motion Of the wings,
sweeping, gyrating upward with
twisting vertical motion marvellous in
its perfect grace; now they flashed
white, again black, SO that one would
say they were rolling over and over,
turning somersaults. While swimming
along the two great arms or feelers OF
the devilfsb are whirled about in
constant motion. like the tentacles' OF
a squid. When these tentacles come
in contact with anything they close
upon it. 1t is generally believed that
this clasping, although at times doing
considerable harm to fishermen and
their boats, is largely automatic and
that, upon the whole, the devilfish is
timid rather than fighter.

German Lotteries.

In an article on the lotteries the Ber-
liner Tageblatt says there are three
ways by which wealth Is acquired-by
work, which Is long and tedious; by
dishonesty, which is precarious pro-
ceeding, and by gambling. The num-
ber Of persons who prefer the last
named method. says the writer, is
large in the German realm, for there
the great lotteries thrive hest. There
are seven of, these under the manage
ment Of the government, and they dis
tribute $3.50. 100000 in prizes. The anx-
eiety to secure part of this amount
has destroyed the happiness Of thou
sands of households and has diverted
thousands of good men from honest
industry and thrift to idleness and
poverty. In the seven lotteries there
are. about 220OO winners year, but
of these only about $50 receive prizes
OF more than 1000 marks each.

quickly. Most people prefer not to
wake up in the morning-that is, they
think Of the. pleasure there would be.
In inst FIVE minutes more Of sleep If
only that alarm clock had not sound
ed its warning. OF course you have
to get up, and If there is really any
thing that will make the job easier and
more pleasant you will want TO know
about it. Doctors have long ago agreed
that dullness on first awakening in.
the morning is due to sluggish circu-
lation Of the blood in the brain. This
can be quickly overcome by massagfng
the neck in the neighborhood Of the
jugular vein, thus stirring the blood
to life and. action. Rub your neck
well on both sides and drowsiness will
}leaye you. Try it."-New York Times

Philadelphia Press: Talk is about the
cheapest thing on earth.
Houston Chronicle: Literature is earth
born, but heaven begotten.
Louisville Courier-Journal: The ex-
pected has happened and the consumers
have been consumed.
Meridian Dispatch: The tendency to
create new offices at salaries far out of
proportion to those that obtain in private
life should be discouraged.
Tupelo Journal: The cause that brings
about more killings than anything else is
the drinking of mean whisky, with the
habit of carrying pistol, which is very
dangerous practice.

THE STATE PRESS.

New Orleans Picayune: The South's
solidity is its only safeguard.
Claiborne Guardian-Journal: Swifttrials
and punishment of the guilty are the only
means whereby lawlessness and crime can
be checked.
Referring to the Bouvy mistrial the
Shreveport Caucasian says: 1t is such
mistrials and such failures of justice which
breed contempt for the law and the courts.
1t is very rare when men having influence
are convicted of crime.
Assumption Pioneer: The opposition to
the State Game Commission is growing
stronger every day and there is no doubt
that at the next session of the Legislature
an attempt will be made to have the law
stricken off the statute book.
Bastrop Enterprise: The Monroe Star
says two of Louisiana's congressman
Estopinal and Broussard-have Joined the
Republican ranks on the tariff issue. That
is nothing new, Brother Trousdale. Hasn't
Senator McEnery been doing that for
years? South Louisiana is after a sugar
tariff and naturally leans to the protection
list side.
