PRICED BY CAMEO CARVERS
sardonix, August Birthstone, Always
FaVorite With Workers in
Such Things of Art.

1t is usually with considerable dis
appointment that the woman born in
August learns that her birthstone is
the sardonix, and even the fact that
that stone is said to insure conjugal
felicity does not entirely make amends
for the fact that it is not ranked as
one of the precious stones and is not
q gem of great beauty.
But with the revival In interest in
canoes no August-born woman with
a real taste for beautiful objects of art
ought to wish for any other birthstone,
an exchange says. Sardonix 1t is in
the old lists and sardonix 1t ought to
remain In spite of the newer lists that
have been made to give everyone an
attractive gem. The sardonlx has al
ways been favorite stone with cameo
engravers. If you recall your trip
through the Vatican galleries when
you were In Rome, perhaps you re-
call seeing there the famous Carpeg-
ma cameo, said to be the largest work
of Its kind ever accomplished. 1t rep
resents the triumph Of Basshus and
Ceres and is worked on a sardonix
stone of five layers, each layer con-
tributing part of the color to the
cameo, which measures somewhat
more than a foot square.

Curious Weapons.

A member of the st. Louis bar tells
the following story: A lawyer Of Mis-
souri,, who shall be called Smith, was
seized suddenly with an attack of
temporary insanity while travelling
across that state.
Stepping off the train at county
seat where he was quite unknown, he
walked into the bank and requested
the cashier to grant him permission TO
warm himself by the stove. The CASH
Ter, noticing that Mr.. Smith was a
stranger of culture and refinement
who seemed confused about something
or other, invited him back Of the rail-
ing. Inside the railing, Smith savage
ly attacked the cashier with his fists
and gave him a beating. Smith was
arrested and then indicted by the
grand jury Cat the time in SESSION. for
assault with dangerous and deadly
weapons.

MINERS LONG IN SERVICE
some Diooers Have Been Working Un-
de-uround for More Than Sixty
Years, the Records Show.

Some interesting facts on lOngev-
ity among coal miners have been
compiled by the anthracite bureau Of
information in Wilkesbarre. The
recent retirement from active serv-
ice of W. ID. Owens, superintendent
Of the Lackawanna division Of the
Lehigh Valley Coal company, serves
to call attention to the number Of
workers who have filed out long ca
reers in the anthracite mines. Owens
has served as foreman and superin-
tendent for 80 years, and, although
he has turned over the active duties
of his position to his successor, is to
remain with the company in an adj
yisory capacity.
A few weeks ago occurred the
death of John T. Williams of Lansj
ford, a pioneer miner in the Panther
Creek valley. He was seventy-fve
years old, and had spent 67 years as
an employee in the mines, and had
been with the Lehigh Coal and Nav
igation company for 65 years. Dur
ing the last year, because of deaths
in his family, Thomas Parry of Mes
queehoning decided to move from
The anthracite field to make his home
with a relative. The decision to quit
the mines came after a period of
go years had elapsed since he first
commenced work in them as a boy.
A long stretch of time marks the
service period of Robert r. Smiles of
Pittston, who lately resigned his pO-
sition with the Pennsylvania Coal
company after being continuously
employed for 81 years. Smiles be-
gan work as a report boy, and had
filled most Of the positions in and
about the mines. For "a years he
had been continuously employed as
an engineer at one mine.-Provi-
dence journal.

KNOW wcIssIruDEs or LIFE
French Ar Models Make the Best Of
Existence, Which Is Not Always
Merry One.

AT twilight from out quaint doors
and old courtyards troop the models,
suddenly enllvening street corners.
Beneath their smile, their light man
ner, their gay silhouette lie, neverthe-
less, n grim knowledge of what life
contains. They know the long hours
when with aching back and muscles
they must stand in a given pose, Of
fering their immobility TO students or
to trained masters. 1t is not an
easily acquired profession. To pose
successfully, one must have imagina-
tiop as well as disciplined body; one
must be able TO become the tangible
expression of an esthetic idea. They
know that the artist who uses them
bids them farewell and goes his. way.
They know the seasons when work is
scarce. They realize the cost Of bread,
the cost of finery. Their standards are
modest enough. One certainly cannot
become very rich or reckless by pos
ing but, then, one does not associate
wealth with artists or, for that mat
ter, with any form of serving them.
These kind-hearted children Of Mont
parnasse adjust their demands to the
artists pocketbook. They know that,
Whenever he is able, he will share with
them whatever good comes to him.
He will give them small gifts--a COW
eted ribbon, a new hat, pair Of slip,
pers-he will invite them to dinner or
offer a round of aperitifs at the little
cafe ON the corner, often he will treat
them to day in the country. No
price is too high or too low for the
fellowship involved.
'Ihstinct has banded them together,
has brought them from dull and love-
less homes, from the lowest ranks of
the wage-earner, from country village
where art is considered ungodly, from
parents who in their day were also
models, to meet and mingie in this spe-
cial world on the left bank of the
Seine."-AIaurice Rutledge in the
Century.

Cat and Snake Pals.

One of the most novel friendships
ever known is creating wide interest in
Pomona, Cal, and the surrounding vi.
cinity.
1t is the friendship of a small black
cat and large black garden snake on
the ranch of George Warner, who
lives a short distance from Pomona.
Warner discovered the friendship
several months ago after noticing his
cat made a regular morning visit to an
old dugout on the place. Following the
animal he found IL was met by the
snake and the two played together for
half an hour or more. Warner followed
the cat every day and witnessed a
friendly frolic between the two.
Warner has become so interested In
the unique situation of a cat and a
snake becoming pals" that he has
posted notices on the ranch that only
rattlesnakes are to be killed, lest
someone inadvertently kill the cats
friend.

THE TIME FOR SAFETY

~OMMISSIONER JACKSON'S or
ders to the people connected
with the State Department OF
Labor and Industry to go on the
stump for safety is well-timed, be-
cause If there is any period wherein
the average man or woman is apt
to overlook the little things that
make for protection or prevention
against accidents it is when they are
working at top speed. The files OF
every newspaper are filled with re-
ports of mishaps wherein people
have been killed or manned because
something small was overlooked
The broken guard, the worn part oi

TALKING OF RESULTS

In conversation among several in
telligent gentlemen the other even
ing the talk turned upon what will
take place after the war. 1t was
started by the suggestion that the
Governments efforts to regulate
prices would continue, and this re-
mark evoked another, to the effect
that it would fail and that the fail
ure would be succeeded by social
ism. One of the gentlemen, at least,
thought that the progress toward So
cialism would be accompanied by a
revolution of the blood-spilling kind.
There was no doubt in any mind
that a great change would follow
close upon the attainment of peace.
This war has shaken mankind to it's
foundations and 1t will not settle
back upon its old basis. Just what
that change will be, no one can say,
but that there will be a new life
after the war, everybody expects
The most of the expectation is that
the change will bear much of the
socialistic hue, and that every form
of social, political and industrial au-
tocracy will disappear and that prop
erty itself will lose it's pre-eminence
in human affairs.-Ohio State Jour

OVER THE CREST

Germany affected to believe Brit
ain would never arrive in time. Brit
ain has arrived and we are coming
Meantime there has been no German
victory, and Germany, having fought
France and Russia for more ;han
two years, while Britain was prepar-
ing, has now to face n relatively
fresh Britain, while still fourth foe,
the United States, is training her
millions and equipping them.
Unmistakably We are over the
crest of the hill. Only weakness in
spirit now, only the failure of those
behind the front in France, Britain
and the United States can prevent
the realization of the fruits of the
great sacrifices and the splendid de-
votion of recent years. And unless
there is a decisive military victory
over Germany the real goal will not
be attained and the work may have
to be done again. The German
army must be decisively beaten upon
the battlefield, beaten so that its
defeat will be obvious. first in Ger
many and then elsewhere. Once
| this has been done the end of the
war will be within sight. 1t is not
necessary to occupy Berlin or cross
the Rhine, but if the German menace
to civilization is to be abolished it
victory as will strip the German mill
tary machine of the last claim to in
vincibility, a claim nowhere recog-
niZed now save in Germany and
among the faint hearts and pro-Ger-
mans in Allied countries.
The Somme deprived the Germans
of the offensive in the west. The
battles of Arras and the Aisne this
spring deprived them of the power
to attack on any front on a consid-
cradle scale. The Ypres campaign
has demonstrated Enthusiastically Ger
man inferiority in the field and the
rapid decline alike of German num-
bers and German morale. Their
machine, the great Prussian military
machine, is slowly but surely going
to pieces.
On the military side the defeat of
Germany has been made certain, as
certain as anything in the future can
be, il the war is continued for
another campaign. The greatest
German retreat since the Marne has
already been made practically GER
tain, either this fall or next spring,
with the date depending upon the
weather and not upon German ef-
forts-Frank H. Simonds in the
PHILADELPHIA Inquirer.

BULGARIA AS A DOVE

If Turkey also could get out, there
would be still less modification for
Germany in admitting the inevitable.
OF course, Bulgaria wishes to get
out for it's own sake, and so does
Turkey. Neither went into this war
as free agent. Both hate Germany
as only people who have been sub
jected to German domination can
hate it. And If both could make
separate peace it might serve the in
terests of Germany in another way
than that of affording Germany an
opportunity to bow gracefully to The
inevitable. When the Allies win,
Turkey will cease to exist and Bul-
garia may. Neither could then be of
any use to William IL in realizing
that Hamburg to- tn e-P Gulf
scheme. Germany holds a mortgage
on each of these victims of its i'm
perialism.l The mortgages are worth
nothing if the Allies administer on
their estates. But if the Allies should
be willing to give easy terms to Bull
garia and Turkey for the sake of
Fastening the end of the war, there
might be enough left of each of these
unfortunate countries to serve the
purpose of William IT in the event
of that next war, about which Ger
mans are. already writing.
The Allies are not likely to bite
at the bait, even with the disturbance
that the Germans are able to get up
in the Gulf or Riga. They are in a
position now to beat Germany next
year and make peace on their own
terms with Germany and its three
serfs. Bulgaria will not be allowed
to break the Kaiser's fall. The war
will so on until an end shall be
reached that, in the language of
philadelphia Record.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ABOUT FORESTALLING

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
The article prepared by Mr.. Crow
and printed in your columns in rela-
ton to the forestalling of city mar
kets is most opportune. This is a
pernicious evil that has had full
sway here for only too many years,
and the City Council should not only
act promptly, but also in most ef-
fective manner.
In this age of high prices of all
kinds of food products (not even OK
cepting the common field turnip,
which were formerly almost given
away, forestalling is q double evil.
Practical observations and expert
ences fully confirm this allegation.
One of many examples noticed was
that of a dealer from another mar
kethouse visiting stalls and selecting
and buying all of the dressed poul-
try that he could get at the lowest
prices at which he could induce the
farmer to sell to him. After getting
all of the choicest and best poultry
available, he rapidly retraced his
way to his own stall in another mar
kethouse, there to resell the same
at fancy prices and at a big profit.
While the transaction may appear
businesslike, it is done at the expense
of the consumer who, perhaps, can
lily afford to buy even at the normal
cost of articles of food. The same
transaction occurs on every mark ct
day not only with dressed poultry,
but with other desirable and choice
food products. There are National
and state food regulations intended
to conserve food and regulate values,
but forestalling in our city markets
certainly does not agree with any of
such regulations or attempts to assist
in the conservation of food supplies
for the benefit of the ordinary class
of consumers.
