Imperishable Gems.

In all our reading the gems of truth
and beauty that we should constantly
seek for are those calculated to stir
the mind to spiritual development.
If the mind is not immortal it's i'm
provement for the sake only of the
honor, rank. authority and all mere
earthly distinctions which perish at
death would not compensate for the
labor involved.
Any thought in literature. however
brilliant in conception and form of eX-
precision, is of little value if it has no
bearing on life and Immortality
If our intellectual attainments are
destroyed by death of the body what
doth the greatest learning and the
sublimest thoughts profit us.
Life here is for such a little season.
Surely, the minds great arena is not
here
The priceless treasures to gather from
our reading are the assurances of
divine truth that not only the affec-
tions and friendships, cherished and
formed. but the knowledge acquired
with worthy intent. and the intellec-
tual powers developed, and these are
the talents God has committed to our
keeping and which will accompany us
into another existence.

Embroidery Touches.

The girl who loves to embroider

Dame Fashion has advanced in the
embroidery line on the newest Paris
models. One sees touches of en-
broidery on almost every chic frock
this season. Sometimes it is noted on
the tunic of graceful evening gown,
and found again on the bodice of this
same creation or it is merely touch
of vivid coloring given by an en-
broidered waistcoat or an elaborate
sash end. A tiny touch Of color to
be sure, but just enough to bring out
the shade selected for the frock, In
fact, the right touch, without which
the frock would otherwise have been
laid on the side of commonplaceness
Here, then, is a decided opportunity
for the girl of moderate means who is
skilled in the gift of needlework to
bring her gowns up to the standard of
the exclusive creations turned out by
the French modiste across the waters.

CRABS ROOT UP SAPLINGs
Certain Species on Island Also Steal
Eggs From Under Sitting
Hens.

London.-Some interesting facts re-
specting the destructiveness of certain
species of crabs in Grand Cayman, an
island in the British West Indies, ap-
pear in a bulletin just issued from the
Royal Botanic gardens at Kew and
written by T. NJ S. English, who has
lived there three years.
The edible crab, he says, grows to
a considerable size, an old male be-
ing sometimes six inches across and
having it's larger claw no less than
IA inches in length from it's junction
with the body to the end of it's
Jaws" The female has smaller
claws, but apparently they are most
destructive.
They are great burrowers and can
nibals, too In places where they
abound nothing is safe from them.
They will take into their holes things
for which they cannot concelvably find
a use-a knife, for instance or peck
ct compass. They will eat the eggs
from under a sitting hen, if not the
hen herself. as readily as the leaves of
Seeding cocoanut trees, and OF these
from six to ten per cent. have to be
replaced if they are planted in newly
cleared ground before the crabs have
been very thoroughly thinned out.
They are responsible for frequent
patches of bare soil in the bush"
which become covered with vegetation
when the crabs are gone.
During the drier months of the early
part of the year they go underground
to change their shells and add to their
destructiveness by barricading the
mouths of their holes with masses of
sticks and rubbish like jackdaws
nests. nipping off or roofing up sap
lings as much as three-quarters OF an
inch in diameter for the purpose.

Clever Wife.


Food faddists cause Mr.. Ralph

remarks in his latest book, "Fancies.
Fashions and Fads" (Methuen), and
he tells an amusing story at the ex-

When at luncheon with friend he
observed that he touched no meat,
but ate only certain strange vegetar-

prepared for his special consumption.
Later on" says Mr.. Nevill, 81 inquired
of his wife if this new diet agreed
with her husband.

it does now
From his looks he certainly seems
to thrive on it. He never looked more
robust in his life
