 Jade Is regarded by the Chinese as khe most precious of precious stones Ton can buy small pfece@tn white for E1O, but a similar specimen in emer- .ald green would cost you from 1855 tD $50 The value of the stone4d depends on the color1ng and especially on trans parency, luster and br1lliance of the beautiful emerald green, usually dis tributed- in splashes through the ma trfx, which may be white, or greentsll, or even tinted with lavender. Rarely indeed does 1t occur in sufficient quan- tity to furnish a large example. Some times small pieces are selected to be made into leads of the 4purestsem tint, free from those hecks which de- prectate their worth. In the sunlight, if you examine such beads, you will find that they approach the emerald in purity ofstone.-J, E. Blacker in Lon don Opini0n.

Modern "Antiques."

There is a class of travelling Ameri- cans who. put not their trust in the dealers in antiques in European cities, but go proving about in castles and peasant houses seeking to discover for themselves rare and ancient bits of furniture, pottery and the like. So per- sistent and large has this class grown that the dealers, feeling the trade in spurious antfqueszvVas falling. off. have resorted to the plan of stocking some of these chateai1x and peasant houses with modern 'speriod stufg And they say that the amateur s6iscoperers are perfectly happy 4n their ignorance.
 One of these collectors had @fdisc0v- ered'' and bought from farmhouse in the Eifel, that picturesque volcanic plateau fn western Prussia, a wonder fully carved cabinet The farmhouse was at the top of steep hill, and the American walked close to the husky porter as he carried the cabinet care fully down. The treasure" was heavy. the day was twarm, and the porter grunted at every other step.
 That's pretty heavy load-to car ry that cabinet down the hill," said the American.
 ttYes,'' agreed the porter. stopping to rest moment, ''hut it was heavier still when took it up the hill a. week ago" -Harper's.

Exaland's, Flrs4.s Coffee.

Coffee, like tea, was sfrom an early date welcomed as rival to alcoholic liquors Writing in 1859, shortly after its tntroductfon into England, Howell makes the comment ''that this. cohfa drink hath caused a great sobrfety amongst all nations. Formerly clerks, apprentices, etc, used to take their morning drafts in ale,4 beer or wine, which often made them unfit for bust- ness. Now they play the good fellows in this wakefu1 and civil drink. The worthy gentleman, Sir James Muddt- ford, who introduced the practice thereof first in London, deserves much respect of the whole nation"

rhn cartnr Oil PIant.

The rapid growth Of the castor oil plant has become. proverbiaI. Some commentators have declared that the plant known as Jonas' gourd was the castor odl plant. There are vast plains in Bengal covered with the oil produc- ing vegetable. Emmediately after the monsoon, when the water has receded, the peasant rakes the mire and puts the oil plant seeds in itlne ground two by two. The, plants rapidly develop their great leaves and produce their fruit, which grows in groups of cap suIes, acquiring a coppery green color mottled with purple and rich carm1ne. When the hot sun has dried the pods they burst. The women and children watch the pods. and when the first crack appears they are ready to catch the precious seeds within. When the seeds haveAdrfed al fewg days the na- lives toast them, crush them in a nor tar and plunge them in boiling water. when the oil i1rises Eo the surface.-Ex- change.

commercial purposes. There is pracs1- caIly no limit to the privileges which this would give to those people engag-. ed in conmercia1izing the plumage of wild birds. We have known men in the Southern States who hired their sons to shoot mocking birds, because these birds ate grapes and were, there fore, regarded as pests. Similarly jays and woodpeckers are considered occasionally attack the corn fn the milk Catbirds, robins and others of the thrush and thrasher families are regarded as pests by some strawberry growers, and are killed accordingly. Herons, egrets and kinghshers are frequently declared pests by men, who are interested in fish hatcheries. Among other pests in the minds of people of whom we have personal knowledge are the shrIkes warblers, crows, black birds of all varieties, hawks, falcons owls eagles, vl1ltures, pe11cans sea guIls of all species and terms Think of the thousands of birds throughout the world that can easily be killed as pests by interested parties and their feathers legally brought to this coun- try if the Clapp amendment to Sched- ule ''N'' should be adopted.
 A great crisis in the cause of bird protection is now sqrare1y before the American people. Let everyone who cares for wild life write or wire his SenatUr at once asking that this amendment proposed by the Finance Committee shall be killed There is mot a moment to spare.
