Royal Crowns for Thirty Shillings.

From the Glasgow News
While 1t is quite true that many
actresses wear real Jewels when upon
the stage, much of the glittering stuff
which looks SO imposing across the foot
lights is a sham. Royal crowns may be
purchased anywhere from 80 shillings to
60 shillings. For the latter amount some
thing very gorgeous indeed can be OBJ
tained-all incrusted with precious stones.
tueens' tiaras come cheaper. and for
10 shillings one can get a very decent
sample. The gems are of colored glass
emeralds, rubies, topazes sapphires, etc.
except the diamonds, which are of plain
cut glass. They cost about 3 shillings a
dozen for the cheapest, though the finest
ones such as are approprie tie for mon
arch, come as high as shilIings each.
What makes them SO expensive is not the
glass, but the settings, which are made
by skilled jewelers..
However, many gems are sold loose for
attaching to robes and other garments
worn on the stage. They are also set
in girdles, bracelets. necklaces, daggers
and swords. A magnificent dagger in
crusted with diamonds and rubies as big
as pigeons eggs costs only e. los II
ton it would be worth at least $4,000.
Diamond bracelets of the most superb
description fetch only Ell pair, while
a diamond necklace is worth one-third
n Ore Knightly and other orders are
quoted at from 23 to E3 12s, some of
them being very elaborate

London Chronicle.


The fitting this week of the Wesleyan
ministers after three years ministration
in this or that church, is one of the
carefully thought-out institutions of John
Wesley His idea was that no man
could preach fresh sermon of his own
for more than three years of Sundays on
end. And his church was to be church
of preachers, Therefore, when the min
lister had begun to grow stale with one
audience he could move to another
which came fresh to him.
The opposite method-which has also
its advantages In linking the minister
personally and permanently with his flock
has its drawbacks in the pulpit. II
leads to the perfunctory sermon. There
was one notable Sunday when in a Ken
fish Congregational chapel l heard a
morning sermon from the text. Am I
my brothers Keeper" In the evening {.
bishop preached in the parish church
from the same text and the same SER
mon word for word. Some sermon mon
ger had Numbered.

False Teeth.

From the London Chronicle. p
Until little more than a century ago
humanity had to rub along without false
teeth. Of which nowadays one. firm alone
claims to sell over 100000 a year. The
first successful maker was Giussepangelo
Fonzi an Italian dentist, who started
practice in Paris in 1T9S, and thanks to
his skilful treatment OF Lucien Bona
experiment he discovered the substance
from which artificial teeth are made, and
received the gold medal of the French
Academy of Science. One of the earliest
persons fitted with false teeth was the
Empress OF Russia After Waterloo
Fenzi migrated to London. and then to
Madrid. where Ferdinand VII rewarded
him with a yearly pension of a thousand
ducats for set of false teeth.

Masculine severity is the keynote OF
this serge frock. 1t is very dark shade
of blue which just escapes being black
and opens over a vest of pieated violins
MORE. This vest opening Is outlined by
a band of embroidery In this same shade
of blush violet. These bands are applied
in a manner to elongate the shoulder and
outline and cross the oblong yoke which
tops the front breadth of the skirt. The
skirt is plain and fits closely into the
girdle, but is gathered into the yoke very
slightly. Moire-covered buttons are used
for trimming.

THE PARK IMPROVEMENT WORK

At meeting of the park i'm
provement committee of the Young
Mems Business Club at DR.. F. Ii.
Riley's Office Monday afternoon,
plans were discussed for raising the
balance of the money required to
improve the park according to the
plans adopted. 1t was the con-
census of opinion that the club be
requested to cooperate with DIR.
Riley in his Klondike Gold-Digging
Contest, mention of which has been
previously made in these columns.
1t is planned to hold this some af-
ternoon so that the farmers and all
Others may have an opportunity to
participate therein.
Gold nuggets will be dug from a
mound of sand, a S. gold piece be-
ing the capital prize. There will
also be numerous other prizes OF
value.
Mr.. Burns, the genial sign paint
er, who has been here several days
painting sign for various business
houses, has kindly consented 10
paint, free of charge, two signs re-
quired for use in the gold.digging
contest.
Among those who have donated
rock for the park improvement are
]. A. Riley, ID. W. Hoover, Jake
Hoover ID. S. Cantrell.
If others would follow their ex.
ample it would materially reduce
the cost of the work. We hope to
see many more loads donated.

TO INSTALL MOTOR LINE.

ii. r. Oglesby, better known as
Rube, was here last week enroute
from Hartvillc, where he had
been comforting with the business
men in regard to establishing a
motor ear line between Mansfield
and Hartville. He offers to put in
a line of motor ears to transport
freight and passengers. All he
asks is for the citizens to fix the
roads. If that is done the cars
will be put on and freight and
passengers will be transported
between the two towns in | IA
hours instead of in 3 hours. Much
interest is manifested in the prop
osition and all seem willing to do
their part toward securing the es-
tablishment of this line.
Mr.. Oglesby has offered the
road commissioners the use of his
3-ton Kissel kar motor truck to
assist the Hartville road district
in hauling gravel from the Gas
sonade river to put the roads in
shape and for macadamizing the
roads. This would certainly prove
good things for the Hartville
and Mansfield people and for
the farmers living between the
two towns.
Mr.. Oglesby will lie remember
ed as former railroad and ware,
house commissioner.

TEACHERS EMPLOYED

The board of education met in
Dr.. j. A. Fuson's office Tuesday
evening, and, after thorough
consideration of the finances of
the district took up the matter of
the election of teachers for the
ensuing year. The present mem-
bers of the faculty were all re-
tanned at an increase in salary,
and it was decided to employ an
assistant whose work will be to
assist in any room where the sell
vice will be most helpful to the
entire student body. The teacher
for this place will not be selected
until the course of study is
worked out and definite plans
made for the year. This is a new
idea in education and shows that
our board is fully up to date in
school affdirs.
Following is q list of teachers,
with their monthly salaries:
Miss Ora Rippee, first prima
ry, SIS.
Miss Sarah Gaskill, second
primary, $45
Miss Gertrude Keller, inter
mediate, S47.50.
Arthur Arnold, grammar, $40.
J.A.Hylton, High school, ,$122.50
Our school is on the approved
list of third-class high schools
ana meets every requirement for
state aid under the new High
school aid law. Under it's provi-
sions the district will get $500 or
half the salary of the principal
this year, for the support of the
high school work, The board is
to be commended for its good
Judgment in acting as a unit on
lall these matters and the citizens
are to be congratulated on having
such an excellent school as we
have had this yesr and such fav-
r.
orable conditions for even better
work the ensuing term.
