NOT ALTOGETHER AN ANGEL
Beautiful Child Had viii Of Her
Own, Also Temper, as She
AbundantIy Proved.

A tall, well-gowned young woman
entered one of the city department
stores, accompanied by an angelic
looking little girl of three years.
'What a beautiful childw the
shoppers murmured as she passed.
From one counter to another the
two went, purchasing gloves, a
white lace veil, some rose pink rib
bon, that the mother held under her
daughters chin and then looked at
her child, to see the effect, which
the saleswoman declared perfect.
All the time the child was sweet
ly acquiescent in all her mothers
plans.
Once or twice she spoke quietly
to her mother, who answered her by
saying, perhaps, later" and
smiled.
Suddenly a change came over the
angelic face. 1t was like a great
black thundercloud passing over the
face of the sick.
81 won't stop teasing" shrieked
the Angelic One, 81 won't. I want
chocolate ice cream! / will have it !
l will l willw The voice rose in
a shrek Of rage and determination.
Then she threw her dainty self to
the floor and rolled over and over.

COLOMBIA EMERALD is BEST
Worlds Supply Of Those Precious
Stones Now Comes from South
American Republic.

For It's supply OF the precious stone
OF beryl variety known as the emer.
aid, the world relies upon the mines
of the republic OF Colombia. From
these mines the most valuable single
emerald OF modern times was OBJ
tanned, now forming one of the gems
or the collection of the duke OF Devon
shire. 1t is perfect hexagonal crys-
tai, weighing eight ounces and elgh-
teen pennyweights. Another fine speci-
men, In the Hope cabinet, weighs six
ounces. while larger but less valuable
gems are in various royal caskets.
The true emeralds Of the ancients
are said to have been obtained from
the workings OF Mount Zabarah in
Upper Egypt although the reopeninG
of the mines in the nineteenth century
by Mehemet Ali did not prove COM
mercially profitable. In this district
was probably mined the jewel adorn-
ing the breastplate of Aaron, de-
scribed In Mosaic writings and form
ing part, possibly of the spoils car
ried from Egypt by the departing Is
rael1teS.
The huge emerald used by Emperor
Nero as corrective for his poor VI
sion; the engraved emeralds set in
gold, presented by Ptolemy to Lucul-
lus on his landing at Alexandria; the
robes worn by Cleopatra and other
famous beauties of the past, whose
embroideries were interspersed with
emeralds, and the exquisitely craven
seals of antique workmanship ON
view in museums and private collec-
lions all prove the esteem in which
the emerald was held. Ornaments of
emeralds have been unearthed in
Theban tombs and eXcavated from
Pompeii and Herculaneum, and in all
ages the stone has been classed
among the rarest of gems.

ASSISTANCE IN THE NURSERY.

Some young children suffer at
times with a form of sore mouth
known as "ulcerative stomatitis,"
caused sometimes by general i'll
health, but very often by neglect of
proper means for keeping the mouth
clean.
The first thing noticed is that the
child dribbles profusely, in some
cases the saliva pours from the
mouth; the breath becomes offensive
and on inspection the gums will be
found very much intlamed, swollen
or spongy.
Soon along the line of contact Of
the gums with the tooth a yellowish
line will be seen, or In other cases
distinct yellow spots or tiny ulcers
are scattered about in the mouth,
under the tongue and on it. The
whole mouth is very sore and ten
der, the gums bleed on the slightest
touch and the child will take only
the softest food.
If the disease be neglected it may
cause the loss Of some Of the teeth,
and therefore treatment should be
prompt. An astringent mouth wash
is necessary and a solution Of alum,
five grains to one ounce of boiled wa
ter, Is good preparation. The
mouth should be washed out With
this every two or three hours.

WHY PIGS FEET ARE SPLIT.

Secretary Stimson of the war de-

possessions at Fort Sheridan and
passed the old canteen. This is a
compound now in which wireless
drinks are served-also food.
On the outside of the building a
champion of the republic had writ

meters said the other day, according
to daily papers, that one Of the chief
troubles in Chicago was the very high
consumption of water, which averaged
about 1000 gallons per capita daily,
caused largely by waste and under.
ground leakage from broken connec.
tons. As remedy for waste he
recommended water meters. The test
of the water pressure made in the
loop shows an insufficient pressure,
but he said that the city was install.
ing a large number Of water mains,
none under eight inches. and these
would materially improve the pres.

The health Of the city demands
plenty Of water for everybody.
The installation Of meters would
limit the consumption Of water and
raise the price Of living on the poor.
Higher rates would have to be
charged in the residence districts and
tenants would have to pay the water
rates after the landlords had paid an
exorbitant rate for installing water
meters.

PROPERTY OWNERS
 MEET TONIGHT
Majority Petition for Paving Main, Street Detained And Commissioners
 May Be Named Tonight.

Main street property owners will hold a meeting in the city council chamber this evening beginning at 8 o'clock to take further action on the proposed paving of that thorough fare. J. A. Clement stated yesterday that he had obtained the necessary majorty of signatures for the crea- tion of paving district and it is probable that commissioners will be named at the meeting tonight
 The property owners will be call ed upon for opinions as to the kind of paving desired and it is anticipated that representatives of various manu- lecturers of paving substances will be present in an effort to influence the property owners to adopt their products.
 The terrible condition of the street especially in bad weather, has been the cause of much dissatisfaction among the residents and is the result of the movement to repave it from Sixth to Twentieth avenues.
