The Drill In the Pearl.

The pale, bent workmen were, most of them, drilling costly pearls, but here man in kid gloves performed the operation of skinning-the opera ton of removing a pearls outer, dis colored coat, so as to give it again its original luster. And by the window another man shook industriously three pearls in bottle.
 "It is a secret of the trade-of the pearl driller's trade,'' he said-"this bottle shaking. You see, in pearl drill ing drill point often breaks off in a pearl, and to get it out may take a whole days work-that is, if you don't know the secret"
 He looked closely at the bottom of the glass bottle, and then, continuing his shaking, he resumed: "But if you put your pearl in a bottle and shake it up the drill point in few minutes will fall out of itself. Look! There's another out already. The third will come soon now."-Exchange.

Unanswerabie.

"Vicious circle" is a term often used in the medical world. An example of its psychological use applied to argu- ment may be found in Joseph A. Sco- vilIe's book, "Old Merchants of New York City"
 Tom, the son of a wealthy man, was great favorite with all who knew him, but he heartily detested business. A merchant of New York had hired him as a bookkeeper at a high salary Nevertheless Tom got into the habit of reaching the office later and later, until finally he got there about in the afternoon. When this state of af- fairs had gone on for a week, the mer- chant remonstrated.
 "But, my dear sir," returned Tom ''how can I come any earlier? I don't get my breakfast until 1.''
 "But get your breakfast earlier"
 'fHow can I? I don't get up till 12.'
 "Then get up earlier"
 "How can l." pleaded Tom, "when I don't go to bed until daylight?'
 In the face of such convincing argu ment there was nothing to be said.

Lunar Rainbows.

Lunar rainbows are seldom ob- served in the temperate zone. Very likely the physical phenomenon occurs frequently, but is invisible because of the faintness of the moons light. In the tropics, where moonlight is more intense, says the Scientific American, lunar rainbows are more frequently observed. They are by no means rare at Reunion island. At all places the phenomenon is most frequently seen at full moon when the moons light is highest, but it has been seen in various phases of the moon. It was first ob- served by Aristotle. A lunar rainbow Is produced at full moon by the spray of the-great Victoria falls of the Yguas. su in Brazil.

The Dot Over the "i."

The small letter 'i'' was formerly written without the dot. The dot was introduced. in the fourteenth century to distinguish 'f'' from ''e'' in nasty and indfstinct writing. The letter "i'' was originally used where the letter 'j" is now employed. The distinction between 'f" and "j'' was introduced by the Dutch printers at comparatively recent date, and the 'J'' was dotted because the '1, from which it was de rived, was written with a dot.

AMERICAN WAR

During the Spanish American war,
many of our soldiers suffered sew
erely from cramp in the stomach
and bowls, due in most cases to the
change Of climate and the water
they were obligen to drink.
Mr.. Geo. A. Lake, of Dennison,
Texas, gives an interesting account
Of how he came to the relief Of some
of the men in his regiment:-"Just
as was starting for the war" says
Mr.. Lake, "Mr. Davis gave me a
large bottle of Sloan's Liniment.
used it in our room at Camp Mo-
brey for cramps and dysentery among
the men. 1t took finely and lots of
the boys Of Troop L, list Tex. Cav.
U. s. v. will never forget the name

particular was our bugler, Fred orm-
sley; he was cramped until he could
hardly stand it. l gave him dose
Of sloan's Eminent and in five min
utes he was up and ready to go on
with the troop"

Liniment in stock. You can get 1t

washington, Mar. 6.-The Taft ad-
ministration took its frst stride Fri
day. The new president named his
cabinet, the senate confirmed his
selection and Its members will take
the oath Of ONCE Saturday with the
exception Of George w. Wickersham.
who was sworn in as attorney general
Friday and OF Messrs Dickinson and
Macveagh, whose personal affairs will
not permit Of their reaching Washing
ton for week or more.
An important conference took place
between President Taft and the Re-
publican members Of the ways and
means committee. lne committee
framed q tariff bill which It is under
stood contains provision for the col
lection Of an inheritance tax, one OF
the suggestions for raising revenue
contained In the inaugural address OF
President Taft. President TAFT told
the committee there would be no de-
lay in the official proclamation calling
the extra session Of congress for
March Is. His message to this SEES
sion he said would recommend that
It confne its work exclusively to tarin
revision that there might be no I'M
necessary delay In enacting this most
important law.
He would, he said, not discuss In his
message any details Of tariff revision
leaving all such matters entirely to
the judgment OF congress. These
members of the committee left the
White House expressing the utmost
good feeling and the belief that the
work of the extra session would be
completed before June l.
Aside from these important accom-
plishments President Taft gave him
self up heartily to the demands Of his
friends and thousands Of inaugural
visitors who wished to shake hands
with him, see his smile and get q
word to carry home with them.
Philader G. Knox had the honor OF
being the hrst caller on President
Taft in the White House building at
practically $3.50 o'clock Friday morn
ing. A is minute interview Mr.. Knox
said had Its importance, but not for
publication. He was rejoicing that
since noon Thursday when his resigna-
ton as senator became effective, he
was simply a private citizen. His re-
joiclng, however, was brief, before the
day was much older, he had been nom
mated and confirmed as secretary
Of state.
The reviewing stand for the inaug-
ural parade was again occupied by
President Taft Friday morning when
he took his place there to do honor
to the "Crack" Seventh regiment, New
York Infantry. From the stand, he re-
turned to the White House where he
received with their STATS the Cover
nors of New York, Rhode Island, Yer
mont, New Jersey. Illinois and Mis-
souri,.
Late In the afternoon Mr.. Taft
found time to go out for waikiki with
his brother, Henry W. Taft, Of New
