first impulse is TO wonder why your
husband cannot attend TO his own
cards, but when you are reminded that
II Is In better taste for the cards of
the family to correspond In size and

more confidence. You choose an OBJ
long bit OF pasteboard with his name

You sigh. This task is done for the
year, you think At the moment Of re-
lief the man across the counter asks
whether all Of your husbands cards
shall bear the name OF his club. Now
this is the one question for him to de-
eide. There is also the question Of the
bill-it is a wise plan to let him de-
eide on paying that, too-as his share
Of the bargain.

SAFETY FOR JEWELS
Theft Amounting to 100000 Has
Aroused the Anxiety Of New
York Dealers.

New York.-As a result OF the re
cent 100000 gem robbery, the great
est in many years, dealers in precious
stones here have been taking stock Of
the defenses which safeguard the
S5O0,000,000 worth OF gems in the
Maiden lane district. In consequence
the public now has a better under
standing than ever before of the won
derful system which protects this
treasure against theft.
Each Maiden lane concern under
electrical protection is assigned n box
In which is deposited a sealed en-.
velope containing a key to the office
and the signature Of those authorized
to open the safe. When an alarm is
sounded and the key removed to gain
entrance to the Office a record is made
and the key is again sealed by the pro-
prietor or sole authorized agent.
A report is also submitted each
week showing when the signal for
opening and closing the safe was re-
ceived, with additional data as the case
requires. Thus it is seen that the
burglar meets obstacles which are al.
most impossible to overcome. BY day
the protection of the Maiden lane dis
trict is none the less strict, and sci.
dom is it that even the most clever
crooks dare to venture into the section

SHIPS UNIQUE TRIP

was experienced on New Years day.
The vessel was roaring along on the
edge of a hurricane. The wind from
the northwest was blowing rs miles an
hour. Rain came down in sheets and
the crash of thunder sounded like a
battery of heavy artillery in action.
Lightning flashed from the skies at
frequent intervals. One bolt struck
the main skysail yard and leapcd in
bounds from 1t to the upper foresail,
to the lower foresail and then TO the
crossiack yard, which it snapped off.
Second Mate William Swater was
standing beneath the mainmast. Near
by stood Augustus Rose, and cabin
boy Fred Hart was passing with a
tray of food. The pipe which Swater
was smoking was broken of at the
stem by the lightning, Roses wood
en- leg was shattered and the tray of
food was tossed into the sea. A pine
log about IS feet in length and about
Is inches square was split in half as
though by saw.
The last hurricane of the voyage, on
January 80, tore away every sail. The
vessel sprung a leak just above the
water line.
The Aryan was constructed 20 years
ago at Phippsburg, Me. She will prob
ably be the last ship from this port to
make the voyage around the Aorn, as
the opening of the Panama canal will
sound the deathknell of such trips.

The greatest scientist, Sir William
Crookes, has discovered that dla.
monds imbedded in radium bromide
become affected by what is known as
radio-activity, which means that ema-
nations of powerful influence go out
from the diamond. This change is
shown by the fact that pure white
diamond, subjected to the radium,
takes on a beautiful color without re-
ducing its brilliance.
But the most important fact con-
nected with this change in the nature
of the diamond is that 1t becomes a
remedial agent, and brought into
contact with divers maladles will tend
to cure them or reduce their violence.
Radium is especially effective in neu-
ralgic cases, and hence hereafter,

ship of her type to be constructed in
this country, and one Of the few at

arrived here from Fort Blake!y,

fearless American skipper and his
crews made the stars and stripes su-
