The Emerald,

The emerald has been known since
early times both in Europe and in GER
tain parts Of the orient, where its at
tractive color and rarity have endowed
it with the highest rank and a varied
lore. Its name may be traced back to
an old Persian word which appeared
in Greek as ''smaragdos," mentioned
by Theophrastus over 300 years before
the Christian era, and again in Latin
as "smarasdus," seen in the writings
Of Pliny, who particularized somewhat
on its properties and supposed me-
dicinal virtues and was even shrewd
enough to suspect its identity with the
much more common beryl, although
eighteen centuries elapsed before this
suspicion was verified by scientific
proof

An Expert In Motives.

Cousin Henry is an expert in mo-

to go back four or five years, but he
will make complete case against you.
In less than an hour he will know
what your motive was. Right now he
is angry because his daughter was not
selected as valedictorian of her class.
You may think that the other girl de-
served to be selected, but you don't

violated all the rules made for the
guidance of novelists who seek to be-
come popular None Of his novels was
addressed to the greater public that is
avid for the latest thing Of the moment
in fiction, but nevertheless they reach

himself in the novels that he wrote
during his marvellous career that span
ned only ten years. 1t is doubtful if
in English literature or in any other
can be found a writer whose life and
literary career are comparable to his.
He was an old man when the world of
readers came to know him, and his age
was an asset toward celebrity. At
seventy he was hailed as eagerly as
Kipling was hailed at twenty, and in
his way he was no less a prodigy than
the younger writer-Bookman

Bit by bit the historical grubbers are

The Little Oyster Crab,

The captain of a foreign ship, in port
at Baltimore, at an entertainment Civ
en- by friends was delighted with the
oysters which were on the menu. Just
before the ship sailed these friends
sent to it several barrels of these oys-
tiers as present to the captain. When
he made the trip back to this country
his friends asked him how he liked the
oysters. He said: Don't you know,
we had to throw nearly all of them
overheard. They were no good. Prac-
tically every one of them had a live
insect on the inside, and, knowing they
were not fit to eat, we let the whole
lot go to Davy JONES'" Investigation
showed that the insect was the little
oyster crab, which is a great delicacy,
preferred by many to the oysters them
selves, and which the epicure knows
as a sure guarantee of the quality of
the bivalve. 1t was a good joke on
those sending and the one receiving
the present, at which neither side
laughed very much.-Christian Herald.

Iowa and MARRIAGE,

First love is very apt not to be the
lasting love-" said DR.. Antoinette Koni-
kow, speaking at the Boston School Of
Social Science.
young lovers try to excuse all the
faults Of the loved one because they
are not in love with the individual, but
with love. Hence they may not choose
the partner with whom they will find
their happiness in later years. Many a
man and woman is glad by middle age
that the first love was frustrated.
Marriage should be based ON love
alone or it is immoral, and some change
is necessary if marriage is to be saved
from degradation. Real love always
makes people better. Romantic love is
the source of all the best things in life
the foundation of all the arts. And
individual happiness makes up the hap
piness of the race."-Boston Post.

Spanish DoubIoons.

In the interest Of romance, however,
the name at least must survive. 1T
signifies nothing more than that the
coin was double the value of a pistole,
but the "doubloon"' was never such a
mouth filling mockery as "pieces Of

but means only Spanish silver dollars,
pieces equivalent to eight reals.-Roch-

How David Garrick Made His Eortuns

If David Garrick had had no more
than his salary as an actor he would
have had little to leave at his death.
He made his fortune as joint proprie-
tor, and for a time as sole proprietor,
of Drury Lane theater, so that the
amount set down to himself as salary
was practically nominal When he re-
tired from the stage in 1776 he sold
half his share in the theater for f35,-
600. He was probably the only actor
who consistently made Shakespeare
pay, and, like Shakespeare, he was
actor, author and proprietor.
1t may be recalled that Garrick, who
had no enemies outside his own pro-
fession, was the grandson of a French
man exiled at the revocation of the
edict of Nantes and that his father
was a captain in the army.-London

Well Balanced Diet.

One Of the most common faults of
the diet is the eating Of too much pro-
TEN foods. In excess this is hard for
the body to excrete and is likely to de-
compose in the intestines with the
formation of poisonous waste products.
Green vegetables and raw fruit are
important elements Of the diet There
is little energy in these foods, but they
supply mineral salts which the body
needs and curious substances called
vitamins, which are easily destroyed
by cooking.
One food expert has suggested a rule
for securing a well balanced diet. 1t
is: An ordinary family should spend
about as much for milk, vegetables
and fruits as for meats, fish and eggs
and as much for milk and eggs as for
meat and fish.

Stocking the National Parks.

The United States is carrying on a
very interesting work In exchanging
the wild animals Of one region for those
Of others-transplanti elk and deer
and Rocky mountain bighorns from
regions In the United States where

far as known, they have not lived.
Some of the animals are being shipped
long distances, says the Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
Wyoming is full of elk. The herds
in the Jackson Hole country are the
largest Of any Of North American wild
animals since the days Of the countless
buffaloes. But the big Yosemite Ma
tional park Of California, with its

There are two places on the earth's
surface where the magnetic needle
must point due south. They are not
easy places to reach. One is in the

The other is in the antarctic regions,
south Of the southern magnetic pole,
