Rubieg of Burma.

Practically all the rubies of both an cient and modern times have emanated from the Mogok valley, in Burma, but no one knows just how long these mines have been in operation, since 1t has always been the policy of those in control to keep their transactions as secret as possible. It is known, how ever, that these mines have been work ed consecutively for period extend ing back to the year 1900. Rubies are more precious than diamonds. They are practically indestructible except by fire. Where fawless diamond would be worth, roughly speaking, the sum of $10O, a perfect ruby of the same weight would bring twice that amount.

A BLACKSMITH and WHAT
 HE DID =. e

.
 This blacksmith cleaned his forge, built an entirely new fire with OUR SMITHTNG COAL, got a welding fire. heated, shaped and welded two pieces of 3x5.8 inch wrought iron all in twelve minutes from the time of putting the match to the fire. Pretty rapid work wasn't it? This same smith worked all day making welds, the hardest kind of work on his fire-and at the end of the eight-hour day he had consumed only ten pounds of COAL. He cleaned his fire only once during the days work and not weld was spoiled during the entire day. Rather cheap fire for a hard day l; don't you think? Compare this record with that of any other coal you have used, and figure out if it pays you to use coal which may cost less at first, but which will make poor welds. use up your time by com l polling you to do work over, asiue from having lot of ashes and clinker that must he cleaned out often.

OUR woRKMEN BETTER OFF.

Copies of a report on the cost OF
living in American cities based on in
quiries made in twenty-eight repre-
sentative towns by officials of the
British board of trade have been cir
culated in Parliament. The report
makes a voluminous budget of 533
pages and covers the questions OF
working class rents, housing, retail
prices of comodities and. rates of
wages in the United States compiled
for purposes of comparison with the
conditions of workers in Great Britain
and other countries. The conclusions
reached are THE cost of food and
rent combined is So per cent. greater
in the United States than in England
and Wales, but these heavier relative
charges on working class income have
been accompanied with weekly wages
which are as 24O to 100" The report
adds that this ratio of money earnings
is more than than two and a quarter

MARRIAGE IN ANCIENT ROME.

MARRIAGE IN ANCIENT ROME.
If there are resemblances between !
the modern families and the Roman
there are also crucial differences.
Although the Roman was disposed to
allow woman judicial and economic
independence, refined culture, and
that freedom without which it is i'm
possible to enjoy life in a dignified
and noble fashion, he was never
ready TO recognize in the way mod
ern civilization does more or less
openly, as ultimate end and reason
for marriage, either the personal hap
piness of the contracting parties or
their common personal moral devel-
opment in the unifying of their char
acters and aspirations. The purpose
of marriage was, so to speak, exterior
to the pair. AS untouched by any
spark of the metaphysical spirit as it
was unyielding-at least in action
to every suggestion of the philo-
sophie preoccupied only in charging
and consolidating the state of which
he was MASTER the Roman aristocrat
never regarded matrimony and the
family, Just as he never regarded re-
ligion and law, as other than iRstru-
ments for political domination, as
means for increasing and establish
ing the power of every great family,
and by family affiliations to strength
en- the association of the aristocracy,
already bound together by political
interest.
For this reason, although the Ro-
man conceded many privileges and
recognized many rights among wom-
en-, he never went so far as to think
that a woman of great family could
lasDira to the right of choosing her
own husband. Custom, indeed, much
restricted the young man also. at
least in a first marriage. The choice
rested with the fathers, who were
accustomed to Alliance their sons
early-indeed, when mere boys. The
heads of two friendly families would
| find themselves daily together in the
struggle of the Forum and the Com
tia, or in the deliberations of the
Senate. Did the idea occur to both
that their children, if affianced then.
at seven or eight years of age, might
cement more closely the union of the
two families, then straightway the
matter was definitely arranged. The
little girl was brought up with the
idea that some day, as soon as might
be, she should marry that boy, just
as for two centuries in the famous
houses of Catholic countries many
of the daughters were brought up in
. the expectation that one day they
should take the veil.
Every one held this Roman practice
as reasonable, useful, equitable. To

RAISING OF WILLOW SHOOTS
Immensely Profitable When Handled
ProperIy-European Varieties
Have Many Advantages.

The raising of willow shoots for
the manufacture of basket goods is
an enormous industry In Europe
There are ninety different varieties of
willow cultivated abroad, and the ma
5Orfty Of them have decided advan-
tages over the product of willow farms
in this country. The culture of willow
shoots requires SO much special
knowledge and such care in the selec-
ton Of stock that 1t will doubtless be
many years before the American
growers can hope to grow basket ma
terial which will-in every way satisfy
the manufacturer.
A recent report, however, tells of
one farmer In the middle west who
cleared $4,000 on a 60-acre crop, and
certain willow planters In the east
and south who, after making patient
tests Of various species, have succeed
ed in growing excellent shoots.
For basket making willow shoot
must be slender, tough, pliable, and
cylindrical. In this country no two
soils will grow the same quality of will
low. Every planter has of necessity
to experiment for his own locality and
select the species best adapted to his
soil and climate. Importations of the
best white willow shoots from Europe
willoften degenerate in an American
soil until they are mere worthless,
brittle switches. In the east the will
low rust has to be combatted, and In
various climates various species are
immune to the disease
This whole culture is in its infancy
here, but when properly handled will
low planting is immensely profitable,
and the industry In this country Is SO
enormous that 1t will mean great
saving to American manufacturers
when they are able to buy their mate
rails from domestic growers.
