In ordinary times, when no world

It differs from male jealousy, for the
male ID generally possessive. the to

pides was generalizing rashly when he
said that woman IL woman's natural
ally. She is too sex-conscious for
that, and many Of US have observed
the annoyance of q mother when her
son weds. Competition is always VIC
lent, so much SO that woman is gen.
orally hooking or angry II a man
praises ever SO slightly another WON
an. II she is young and able to make
q claim on all men, she tends to be
still more virulent because her claim
is on all men. This Is partly due to
the marriage market and its restric-
lions, but it is also partly natural. No
doubt because 1t is natural, woman
attempts to conceal that jealousy, ma
ture being generally considered ig-
noble in the civilized world: In this
respect we must accept that an as
sumption of GOODNESS is considered .

MAYBE THIS WILL WORK
English Paper Suggests Novel Trap
for Kidding Community Of All
Sorts of Rodents.

Let me give you an unfailing meth
cd for gathering in all the rats for
miles around.
Get a large tub, fill it about three
parts full with water. Stand brick
on its end, in the middle Of the tub.
Get some brown paper as bridge
stretching from the rim Of the tub to
the brick, all round the tub, so as not
to let the water be seen. Then put a
slab or board up against the tub for
the rats to run up.
Put a piece of meat as a bait on
the top of the brick, and saturate it
with oil of rhodium. The rats will
come from all quarters at the very
smell of it. The first rat that runs up
the bridge tries to get at the bait, and
falls through the brown paper into the
water. He then climbs on to the top
of the brick and starts to sQueal.
All the other rats for miles around
come rushing to the aid of their dis
tressed comrade and each one topples
into the water and is drowned. Only
one can occupy the top Of the brick at
a time. By this means whole neigh.
borhOods could be cleared very rapidly.

Fortunes In Farthinas.

1t is well known that shopkeeperl
make pounds by ignoring farthings, OF
by giving something for them that
is worth far less than a farthing; but
where shopkeepers make the pounds,
banks and the English government
make their hundreds of pounds, &C.
cording to writer in Pearson's. If a
farthing is due from you in taxes, you
are charged Id. On the other hand,
you are never paid Id for farthing.
The same principle is applied to
fractions Of pounds. Banks in reck-
oning interest for themselves call any
part of Ell full pound, whereas in
reckoning interest for you odd shil.
lings are left out of account. Thus
for deposit of 999 IS lid you would
receive interest on s9s only.
1t is amazing how the state profits
by not paying fractions OF pence.

In which are Placed the fractions OF

Sir Arthur Herbert Church Bequeathed
Rare and Valuable Collection to
Famous Institution.

For many years the late Sir Arthur
Herbert Church devoted himself to
collecting precious stones, with the re-
suit that when he died he had one of
the finest collections in Great Britain.
Whatever speculation may have arisen
as to what would become Of the col
lection has been finally laid to rest by
the announcement that it has just been
given to the British museum. Sir Ar
thur was long the president Of the
Neurological society and In his ex-
ploration work discovered several new
minerals The collection consists of
more than 200 stones, mostly mounted
in rings, and every specimen unique.
Sir Arthur devoted his attention par
ticularly to the products of Ceylon and
for many years was able to secure the
pick of the rarer species of gems that
came to light there. To the mineralo-
gist the pride Of the collection is .
magnificent aurora-red specimen OF
spessartite, variety of garnet that
seldom provides stones large and clear
enough for jewelry purposes. Weigh
ing over six karats and beautifully cut
in the modern fashion, the stone stands
practically alone in the literature OF
gems. In addition the collection in
ciudes the most varied series of zir-
cons in existence, and there are also
excellent assortments of tourmalines,
topazes, emeralds. opals and spinels.
The opals include two fine stones CT

The Russian LANGUAGE,

Charles Sarolea in an article in Lon.
don Everyman on Thoughts on the
Russian Language" notes that in its
grammatical structure. as well as In
its vocabulary. it is nearer than any
other living tongue to the older IndO-
European tongues like Sanskrit and
Lithuanian. but that as a written and
literary language. as vehicle of prose.
the Russian language Is almost of yes
terday. 1t is today the dominant Ian.
guage of 170.OOO.OOO of people. Nor
must it be forgotten" be says, that
the Russian is the key to dozen other
Slavonic languages; that 1t is closely
allied to the Bulgarian language and
to the Servian language. And, finally.
1t has to be kept in mind that Saloniki
or ecclesiastical Russian Is the COM
mon sacred language of all the Graek
orthodox Slav nations"

URGE KINDNESS TO ANIMALS
Many Reasons Have Been Advanced
~ to Why Cruelty Should
BE Avoided,


Here are some of the reasons why
we should do all we possibly can to
protect animals, says an exchange,
/. They are. humanity speaking.
dumb and defenseless.
2. They are especially liable to
cruel treatment.
8. They are the victims of science.
sport, fashion, ignorance and preju-
dice.
1. There il so much suffering in
this world that we ought to do every
thing we can to lessen, and not to in
crease Il. -
s. It Is cowardly and contemplate
to cause living, sentient creature un-
necessary or avoidable suffering.
6. The animals do so much for us
in SO many ways, ministering to our
needs, that they earn exemption for
their various races from cruelty, sui.
fering and i'll treatment.
4. Selfish and callous disregard OF
their rights can only react disastrous
ly upon the moral nature of the hui
man family, and make other similar
evils appear excusable. It is short
step from cruelty to animals to cru
city to human beings. The parents
who train their children to be kind
considerable and thoughtful for the ami
mails are laying up treasures which
they themselves will reap when those
children are grown up.
8. As Jeremy Bentham, the great
jurist, wrote of the claims of animals:
The question is not-'Can they rea
son. nor can they talk but can they
suffer-"

saltwater Cataracts,

There are a good many saltwater
cataracts in existence. They may be
found in Norway, southern Chile
and British Columbia, where narrow
fiords, or arms of the sea, are Oh.
structed by barriers of rock. The riS.
ing tide flows over and filters through
such reefs into the great natural res
ervoirs beyond, but the water is held
back at the ebb until it breaks over
the obstruction in an irresistible tor
rent. Most curious of all is the wa
terfall at Canoe Passage, where the
island Of Vancouver approaches the
British Columbia mainland. Here the
food tide from the Gulf of Georgia to
the southwark is held back at mar.
row cleft between two islands until 1t
pours over in a boiling cascade Is feet
high, with perhaps double the volume
of the Rhine. At the turn of the tide,
however, the waters from the north
rush back into the gnif, producing .
cascade Of equal height and volume
The waterfall actually flows bott

LAKE TAHOE ONCE HIGHER
Some Ancient Volcano Became Active
and Great Rocky Block Sank and
Formed Pool Bed.

The statement sometimes made that
Tahoe is an old volcanic crater" is
not true. according to report of the
government geological survey. The
region about the lake shows evidences
of volcanic activity of various kinds,
and the lake waters themselves have
probably been damned at times by
outpourings of lava. A lava flow ap-
pears to have temporarily filled the
outlet channel below Tahoe City. The
lake, however, lies in structural de-
pression-a dropped block of the
earth's crust. During the Neocene
epoch and the earlier part of the
Pieistocene epoch the waters of Lake
Tahoe stood much higher than now
probably on account Of lava dams
which have since been cut through.
Distinct beaches that mark former
higher levels are found up to about
one hundred feet above the present
lake, but it is believed that the waters
formerly rose to still greater heights.
At Tahoe City the most distinct of
these old beaches is terrace thirty
FIVE to forty feet above the level of
the lake, and it is this terrace that
makes the level ground on which Ia
hoe tavern is built
