plant stones Of phllIppIne..

plant stones" seem to be among
the rarest Of the strange products of
the Philippine islands. The tabashir
Is variety Of opal sometimes deposit
ed in the joints of the bamboo, and the
beautiful greenish-pInk scintillating
specimens OF the Philippines are stat
ed by a German publication to be
much more costly than the ordinary
opal Thousands Of canestalks may be
examined without finding one of these
curious gems, which are probably the
result Of disease or injury. Beautiful
blush pearls or stony secredons are
occasionally formed in some cocoa
nuts and are found. ranging in size
from a pinhead to a pea, by carefully
examining the interior of ripe nuts.
About a dozen Of these exquisite
pearls-all from the Philippines-are
said to be preserved among the treas
ures OF European museums.

The praa in public Schools.

The pace of classes in our public
grammar schools is determined by the
average pupil. or perhaps pupils lit.
tie below the average In view of the
task thrown upon our grammar
schools. Of taking all sorts Of raw
material-children Of foreign birth,
children in whose homes study is i'm
possible-we can hardly complain that
the work often drags. Our chief criti-
cism is that in so many cases no pro-
vision is made for promoting the
bright children more rapidly They are
held back in lock-step with the rest
The boy who can easily complete the
program for three years in two or two
and a half, and who would profit large
ly by moving ahead quickly, is not al
lowed to break the ranks, He is under
no stimulus to exert himself and do
his best. AS a result, he dawdles and
forms thoroughly bad habits of appli-
cation. habits which may cling to him
and clog him through llfe.-New York

Expects to Dig Some Precious Ore
from Her Moving Mining Property.

Mrs. Mary e. Hart. formerly OF
Los Angeles, Cal. who has just re-
turned to Seattle after visiting Alaska,
has the distinction of being the first
person to stake out a mining claim
on a glacier while Il was still in ac-
tion
Sidney Noise, with the local archi-
tect firm Of Hunt & Gray, was on
board the Seattle, which has just re-
turned from a trip TO the Klondike,
and he states that for the first time
in nine years passengers were able
to make a landing at Muir glacier,
near Skagway.
The glacier IS considered far from
safe, but Mrs. Hart, with natural love
Of adventure, stepped triumphantly
ashore. and was followed by others
eager for the experience Of landing
upon the forbidding ice field.
1t was found that the moraine. a
deposit freighted with precious ore,
which is always carried with the ice
in this section, had already become
quite solid. and Mrs. Hart forthwith
staked out claim.
Mrs. Hart has passed a number Of
years in Alaska and is conversant
with the mining situation there, hay
ing owned and superintended the
work In several claims. In order to
gain experience she at one time
worked with a pick in her own mine.

difference Of opinion.

Mrs. Cobden-Sanderson thinks that
American women, with the possible
exception OF Chicago women. are too
much interested in their own individ-
uality and think too little OF the COM
munity, in other words are lacking in
civic pride. In England. she says.
there is not the sharp line between

THE LADY AND THE UMBRELLA.
Not Every Woman So Lucky as the
Heroine Of This Tale.


In the storeroom that every rail
road maintains for the safe keeping
Of lost articles left in its care by for
getful passengers there are always to
be found hundreds Of umbrellas But
not every umbrella left in the cars
is lost long enough to find its way
to the lost department; 1T may fortu-
nately be recovered sooner.
Here was a woman who had just
stepped from an elevated railroad
train, to find it raining, and thus re-
minded:
"Oh! my umbrella" she said, and.
turning to the train, which had al
ready started along, she added: Wait
a minute." a request by the train un-
needed.
And yet this woman recovered her
umbrella in a moment.
Here It is." said another woman,
who was travelling with her, had got
off the car after her. and had
gathered up her friends umbrella
with her own as she came along
SO this forgetful passenger recov-
cred her umbrella promptly. but not
all are so fortunate; thousands Of UNI
brellas left behind by passengers go
to the lost departments every year.

A MIXED DIET
Eating Fads Are as Bad as Reckless
lntemperance.

Dr. Armand cauthier 81 the French
academy Is a rational scientist who
comes forward with the theory that
fads In diet are as bad as reckless In
temperance He contends that the
only safe ground Is the compromising,
middle platform that since meat has
always been a natural food OF man.
man may eat Ii, yet as God has seen
fit to grow for Us certain succulent
plants. We may partake Of them. too.
He contends that no formal rule OF
yegetarianism is a safe one, but IN
stead Of a vehement harangue on the
subject. Is content to say In y-going
fashion. that "yegetarianism, mitigated
by the use Of milk and eggs. is a ra-
tional diet which. in many cases. is Of
the utmost value"
He contends that the consumption
Of alcohol increases as the use OF
meat decreases. but further says toll
erantly. IF vegetables best agree with
man and he dosen't care for meat,
be should eat them, and take the
chances Of a growing desire for alco-
hc...
His objections to a strictly vegetarian
diet are based less on approval Of
meat than on belief that mixed
diet is the only proper one. And this.
after all, is only another way of say
ing, "Be moderate. sane and sensible.
and take the goods the gods provide"

Sunday was when policeman saw fit to

the Sand Point players back to the bench
that had gone out to argue with the UNI

ager asked for the policeman, and that
was not so bad, but later supposed city

tive, butted in and armed the player
back to the bench. Not very courteous
