WHERE WE FIND EMERALDS
Famous Muzo Mines In the Republic
of Colombia Produce Finest
Gems.

The finest emeralds are found in
the Republic of Colombia, at the IA
nous MuZo mines in the department
Of Boyaca. seventy miles north by
west of Bogota, which have been
worked since 1858. The Spaniards
mined there in the middle of the six
teenth century, but withdrew after
time, owing to continual fighting
with the Indians; with the result that
for awhile the locality of the mines
was unknown. They are now worked
by an English company, in partner
ship with the government The emer-
aids at Muzo occur in calcite veins
running through black carboniferous
limestone in all directions and at all
angles. Often the limestone is COW
cred with earth, in which bushes and
trees are growing; this has to be
cleared before prospecting is possible.
When calcite veins have been located,
the side of the hill is dug away in
banks" usually by Indians, whose
chief tool is a steel bar forged to q
point at one end. The pieces of cal.
cite vein are examined specifically
for emeralds, and are then set aside
for cow vance to the sorting-shed
where a detailed examination is made
and the emeralds are divided into IF
teen grades according to color, trans.
parency, size, freedom from flaws, and
so on.

She could manage him; 1t was with
Grace that she had her struggle. First,
and bluntly, she told the girl that her
leaving was useless The secret was
out; it had been made public. Every
one knew she was in love with John
and he with her. Their engagement
was considered an established GER
tainty. Grace was greatly agitated
and very indignant.
Who dared say so?" she demanded.
Who dared say we were engaged +?
It's not true It's a wicked lie and
Who is responsible, Aunt Keziah?''
Well, suppose likely l am, much

You? You, Aunt Keziah?"
Yup; me. You are in love with

you're here with him, amt you? II
you two amt engaged you ought to
be" She argued and pleaded and
coaxed, and, at last, when she began
to think she had prevailed, Grace
brought forward another objection.
She had given her word to her uncle.
How could she break that promise to
a dying man? She would feel like &
| traitor.
Traitor to who?" demanded the
housekeeper, losing patience. Not to
poor Nat, for he's gone. And don't you
suppose that he and Eben understand
things better now, where they are!
Do you suppose that Nat wouldn't
want you to be happy? 1 know he
would. for l knew him"
1t was still unsettled when the long
talk was over, but Grace agreed not
to leave the minister at present. She
would stay where she was until he
was himself again, at least. Keziah
! was satisfied with the preliminary
skirmish. She felc confident of win
ming the victory, and in the prospect
of happiness for others, she was al.
most happy herself. Yet each time the
mail was brought to the shanty she
dreaded to look at it, and the sight OF
a stranger mSde her shake with fear.

squabble, but they merely reported
the news and did not take sides. The
fight was too even for that
One afternoon a few days before
the date set for the meeting Elkanah
and two or three of his henchmen
were on the piazza of the Daniels
home, discussing the situation. They
were blue and downcast. Annabel
was in the sitting room, shedding
tears of humiliation and jealous rage

and game warden for Kansas, says:
Sure thing, fish have beds. have
seen them piled up four and five fish
deep for a space at least by 10 feet
Usually they find a place below log

stream where there is an eddy. They
can maintain their positions there
without much effort don't know
whether they sleep or not, but fish will
spend most of winter in that way
when the water gets extremely
cold the fish become sluggish. They
can move around little, but they lose
all their alertness. They can even be
caught by hand All you need to do
is to cut hole in the ice after it has
been frozen over for SOME time. Some
fish will come to the hole for air. 1t is
an easy matter to slip your hand I'M
