Y DR.. Maria Montessori of Rome, inter

Of the time when toys will be unknown

useful things adapted to their mental
level. She was talking at meeting
arranged by the New England Monies
sori association.
"Impatience on the part of mothers
materially hinders the progress Of chill

you will find they are done far better
than the mothers could do them. 1mag-

Il phenomenon takes place. Why not
give the child the same chance? We
can be compared to an airplane. We
first must have a motor then we run
over the ground short distance, and
finally we rise in flight. A child must
be developed along those same lines. :

EMERALD MOST COSTLY GEM
One Consideration That Makes Them
High-Priced Is They Are Sell
dom Free From Flaws.

In the mind of the average person
the diamond is regarded as the most
valuable of precious stones, but as
matter Of fact large fawless emeralds
are great deal more costly than ldia-
monds of similar size. jewelers. say
that one of the considerations that
makes these rich green gems so high
priced, if perfect, is that they are sell
dom free from flaws.
According to the Smithsonian in
stitution good diamonds are worth
from $3.50 to $40O per carat, accord
ing to purity and size, whereas an
emerald varies from $3.50 to $500, the
price increasing rapidly with size.
Flawless emeralds weighing more
than four carats are said to be prac-
tically priceless, but diamonds Of that
size are worth only 1000 to $1,000.
Another factor that is said to con-
tribute to the high price of emeralds
is that they are hard to initiate and,
unlike some green stones, retain their
color when heated and when subject
ed to artificial light. 1t is claimed
that this latter fact makes them par
ticularly desirable for evening wear.

The coming Of the Minneapolis

this region. Several times in past
years the Minneapolis orchestra has
appeared at Yankton and large num-
bers Of people from neighborinp
towns have attended the concerts.
All who have heard them before will
be eager to hear them this year.
The Minneapolis Orchestra has come
to be recognized as one Of the great

IN this country but in the world The
conductor Mr Emil Oberhotisef, mas

fourteen years ago, and the unpreced-

thing that the city of Minneapolis
and indeed all this western regionmay

By the decision of the supreme
court sustaining the Adamson law,
the railroad brotherhoods have won q
temporary victory. not over the rail-
road companies. but over the general
public. The law forces the railroad
companies to pay the men for ten
hours work while receiving only eight
hours service but the companies have
already appealed to the interstate COM
merce commission for permission to
raise freight rates to cover the extra
expense. The commission can not
we'll refuse. and hence the public will
be the loser. However. there is an
other side to this decision which may
not be % gratifying to the brother
hoods. The court has sustained the
right Of congress to regulate both
hours Of work and salary for men en-
gagged in interstate commerce, and il
the railroads are forced to abide by a
law raising salaries of their employ
es it is but reasonable to conclude
that the employees must abide by a
law lowering salaries.

er breathing. He told me Of the trou-
BILE he had in making John T.. Sulli-s

the harm that numbers Of Americans
do themselves (witness the prevalence
Of catarrhal affections) by the bad hab-
it of mouth breathing.
''Keep your mouths shut. Breathe
through your nostrils," he said.
If the nostrils are stopped up he ex-

formed regularly.

a Motor Shovel.

In unloading ore or coal from the
holds Of vessels on the Great Lakes
there is always certain amount OF
material in corners and between
matches that cannot be reached by the
unloading buckets. The dock superin-
tendent at Buffalo has designed mo-
tor-driven scraper shovel that moves
such material much faster than it can
be moved by hand. The machine car
ries shovel that can be raised and
dumped automatically, but whenever
possible the ore or coal is pushed un-
derneath the hatch openings, where
the unloading buckets haul it out Of
the ship. The power-scraper shovel
is said to do the work Of from II to
40 shovelers, according to the type Of
boat; and to save from one to five
hours time In the unloading process.

Eucalyptus Leaves.

Eucalyptus are evergreens, which
she'd their bark but not their leaves,
but they are not shade trees. The
leaves are placed in inclined rather
than in horizontal positions, and the
passage of light is but little obstruct-
ed. For this reason, smaller trees and
bushes and grass grow underneath,
md the woods in places assume the
appearance of jungle from which
arise the towering shafts Of trees. II
is interesting to note that primitivts
types of eucalyptus, as well as the
young or more modern types, have
horizontal leaves, pointing to time
IN the geologic past when the climate
was more congenial and no precau-
tions to conserve moisture need be tax
