Christmas.

White is the frost upon the fir,
And white the rime upon the thorn.
An ashen cloud, with threat of snow,
Has yelled the eyes of morn.
The wind is like burdened heart
That may not still its plaintive moan,
And sobs behind the wooded hills
In eerie undertone.
And yet within the chimney's throat
The backlog sings with lyric glee,
And there is sound of children's mirth
And buoyant minstrelsy.
And down the spacious aises Of air
Triumphant music sinks and swells.
Their peace on earth, good will to menP'
Peal out the Christmas bells.

BUYING A DIAMOND.
If Money is No Object You Can Get an
Absolutely Perfect Stone.

II Money Is No Object You Can Get ar
Absolutely Perfect Stone.
The properly cut diamond has fifty
eight facets, including the table and
collet, thirty-two facets above the Cir
die and tw~enty-four facets below. The
surface Of the table should be 40 per
cent of the whole.
Perfect, colorless stones form only 5
per cent OF all the diamonds produced
A diamond Is considered perfect In
formation when no flaw or imperfec-
don can be detected under the ordi-
nary "loop' or magnifying glass used
by jewelers.. The flaws usually found
are carbon spots (where the carbon
has not crystallized perfectly, feath-
ers, bubbles, hairs. faky formation,
like that In a piece of ice when struck
by a hammer. The absolutely perfect
stone must be free from all Of these
defects and cut In the right proper

of the stone.
Do not expect to get an absolutely
perfect stone for any reasonable fig
ure, for they are so rare as to COM
mand excessive prices If you want a
good stone see to 1t that 1t is Of good
color and brilliancy and is well cut.
The real requirement of a diamond
Is that it make a proper effect, and the
minute flaws which can be found only
with a strong microscope are not
worthy Of consideration by the ordi-
nary purchaser who wishes 20 have a
good stone almost exclusively for deco
rative purposes.
If money is no object and you are
willing to pay $500 or more per carat
you may hope to secure an absolutely
1awless stone, but for all usual pur-
poses you are wasting half sof the

GIBRALTAR FOR FLORIDA.
England Once offered Spain the Great
Rock In a Trade.

You know that for everlasting stu
bility and stubborn resistance there is
nothing In the world like Gibraltar.
Did you ever zeal of a curious little
bargain, which was never consum-
mated, but In which that great rock
at the mouth of the Mediterranean
figured as part of the price? 1t had
to do with an important part of our
own country, and yet it is seldom men,
toned in any of our histories.
The ~impregnable fortress was fought
over by the Spaniards and the Moors
for two centuries, and it came In for
the keen interest of Oliver Cromwell,
who Numbered at the British the fact
that if they ever hoped to become the
dominating sea power of the world
they must control the Mediterranean
from Gibraltar. This great necessity
was never lost sight of, but a suitable
pretext did not arise until the war of
the Spanish succession, when England
and France were al each others
throat for the mastery of Europe.
Under Admiral Sir George Brooke
the British feet made an unexpected
attack on the Spanish defenses and
captured Gibraltar in 1904. Presently
the English sickened of their bargain.
That was long before the digging of
the Suez canal by the French and the
Egyptians, and the cost of maintain
ing the rocky fortress appeared to be
out of all proportion to its worth.
When Spain was approached by Ma
poleon for the purchase of Florida as
a blow at England from the western
theater of the Anglo-French war, Eng
land offered Spain to trade Gibraltar
for Florida. Had the trade taken
place England would not now be un-
disputed mistress of the sea.-St. Louis

sco0PING UP WATER.
How a Fast Train Fills Its Locomotive
Tank Without Stopping.

Mr.. Cecil J. Allen, chief of the civil
engineers department, supplies in the
Great Eastern Railway Magazine some
water by trains at full speed on long
Journeys. Locomotives, he says, are ex-
.ceeding bibulous creatures. The en-
gines Of one large British railway alone
consume some II, 100000 gallons of wa
ter per annum An express engine I'M
der normal conditions of running will
consume from thirty to thirty-fve gal
Ions of water for every mile covered,
taking a general average. On such a
Journey as that made by the Cornish
Riviera Limited Express" of the
Great Western railway, from London
to Plymouth. 225A miles-the longest
daily nonstop u in the world-some
four tons of coal are consumed against
an average of no less than forty tons
of water.
The troughs, Mr.. Allen explains,
have usually a length of just over a
quarter of a mile and are Ta1u per-
fectly level in the center of the flour
foot" Water is taken from them by
means of a movable shovel shaped
SCOOP under the tender, which Is
lowered into the trough as the train
passes over it at full speed. The sharp
edge of this scoop cuts off, as 1t were.
the "top layer" of the water, which is
forced up into a large vertical pipe and
delivered through a mushroom head or
an elbow at the top of the tender into
the water tank. AS soon as the water
gauge on the tender indicates that the
tank is full the scoop is raised again.
According to the speed at which the
train is travelling, it is possible to lift
from 1900 to 5000 gallons In about
fifteen s-econds.-Westminster Gazette.

that woman has the greater genius

Women are developing tremendous

"Men in the trenches In Europe to-
day get better care than the children
of America. Generally speaking, pigs
and other live stock receive more In
telligent treatment than children. Yet
children are the greatest investment of
a nation.
"The caro- of children is not a lost
art, for the human race has never
known how to care for its young. More
human beings die annually from pre-
yentable diseases and accident than
were killed In any year Of the civil
war.
Child preservation is an art we are
just finding. We have made mental
education compulsory. Eventually we
shall realize that the education Of the
body, the training of the instincts and
emotions, is just as important as the
cultivation of the mind.
There are more than 20,OO0,0OO
school children In the United States to-
day." DR.. Wood went on. "Of these
tbree-quarters, or 100000, need med

among these defects are spinal cur
