a winter ramble in Minnesota woods.
The tree bears large bean-like pods, con-

tributed is an unsolved problem The
great pods remain on the trees through
the winter. Neither the pods nor the
beans float in water and are. of course
much too heavy to be carried by the
wind. The seeds are as hard as pebbles
and az far as can be discovered no birds
or animals eat them. A dozen Of them

they did not absorb drop. But II they

small colonies, often miles apart. 1t is
found on rich bottom lands and on is

stones at a profit Of a thousand dollars
or more each.
1t Is claimed that diamonds have been
made syntheticaly also but this is not
true, according to Mr.. Schaller. Good i'm
itations of diamonds are made from
glass, Of course, both for purposes OF
fraud. and for society women to wear in
public while leaving their real gems at
home. These glass diamonds are made of
a special soft glass which has exactly the
same retroactive power as diamond.
They look exactly like diamonds. The on
ly difference is that they are not as hard
and will not wear as long, They must
be polished and TOUGHER up once in q
while.
Another result Of the growing precious.
ness of precious stones has been to stim-
ulate the use of the less precious. but in
many cases very beautiful stones. Gar
nets, opals, turquoise, topaz. tourmalines
and chrysoprase are some Of the better
known OF these, but there are numerous
others Even quartz, one Of the COM
monest minerals in nature, is quite wide
ly used in jewelry.
Many Of these stones are nearly. il not
quite, as beautiful as the more valuable
ones. but there Is an unfortunate ten

der some fifty different names. such an

diamond, almandite. Ceylon hyacinth.
guarnaccino, hessonite, Uralian emerald,
and others equally fantastic The chief
result of this practice Is that the CUSTOM
err does not know what he Is getting and
hence has no idea what 1t is worth. He
asks In amazement what a Uralian emer.
aid IL. and the storekeeper perhaps tells
him that II 10 something new and very
rare, and may thus be able to get an
excessive price for the stone. But in the
long run, this makes people suspicious
Of all the cheaper stones. and tends to
defeat legitimate trade In these really
beautiful gems. An excellent and some
what fragrant example Of this camou.
fiage jewel business was seen In At
lantic City. where ordinary quartz. stain.
ed yellow by iron in its composition. was
sold under the name Of "apricotine" for
quite n fancy price.
In an effort to check such practices, Mr..
Schaller has prepared an alphabetical list
In which all of the precious and SEMI
precious stones are included. together
with the names under which they have
been sold. BY means Of this list anyone
can md out what any stone onered MIN
under a fancy name really is.
The great war undoubtedly destroyed
many precious stones. They we're lost by
civilians in hasty fight, burned up in
buildings. and buried on dead bodies.
Many large stones were doubtless stolen
by looters, cut up into smaller pieces and
sold. No one seems to know what has
happened to the great jewel collection OF
tho RuSsian iunDerial gOvarnment
It Is said that wealthy Germans took
many diamonds off the market when they
began to doubt the ability Of Germany to
win the war. BY putting their money in
to diamonds they had their wealth in q
form which was readily portable. and
could easily be concealed so as to escape
taxation and confscation. These dia-
monds can now be sold at greatly en-
HANGED values.

VERMONT DRIED BEEF

(By Daniel l.. Cady)
I'm sure 'twould give the world relief
To know our rule for drying beef;
For forty years we cured our meat
With Jest the same, BY Gosh. recent.
To know the good results we got
Might help the world a quite a lot:
better product never yet
Was on a dotted dolly set
The preacher ct so much that Dad
A-more than once, looked kinder mad.
To turn the trick without default
You take a quart of rocky salt,
Two spoons of saltedpeter, mind,
You get the skull and crossbones kind
OF Orleans sweetness jest cup,
And mix the three proportions up:
You then produce five hams of beef,
Or six If you had Jest as lief,
And have 'em trimmed by light of day
And all the gristle cut away.
Then get the old big wooden bowl
The one the Gypsles almost stole
And fit the hammy hunks in nice,
Like pickles that you pack in spice,
And when they lay there calm and still
A-subject to your sovereign viii.
You pour the mixture all around
And make a wish. but not a sound.
And then you set the bowl a-where
A handy step will take you there.
And then the strangest things begin
The juice runs out. the cure-all in;
sort of infi!tration starts
Betwixt the mixed and meaty parts,
And first you know there amt a sign
OF salt. or anything but brine

WILSON OBSERVES
ARM|ST|CE DAY
President Leaves His Bed for
First Time Since His Ill
ness Began

Washington, Nov. 1.-Two events
of national Importance not on the ar
ranged program-the arrival OF the
Prince of Wales AZ the guest of the
nation and President Wilson's leav.
Ing his bed for the first time since
Illness forced him to abandon his
speaking tour last month--marked the
celebration OF armstic day In WASH
ington. A general feeling of relief in
official circles over the decision Of
the soft coal miners to rescind the
strike order was another high point
In the day set apart to commemorate
the ending of hostilities In the war.
Rain fell almost continuously dur.
ing the day, forcing many of the ar
ranged events of celebration to be
held inside in departments and
bureaus The rain, however. could not
dampen the ardor of those particle
pating in the ceremonies connected
with the planting OF two memorial
California redwood trees in Lafayette
Square opposite the White House.
Tonight a chorus Of community sing
ers gathered on the steps of the treasury
across from the White House to serenade
Mr.. Wilson.
The President had planned some days
in advance to leave his sick bed to-day
as In some measure his own commemora-
ton of the Significance of Armistice day
and reposing in wheel chair was able
to hear n part of the program arranged
by the singers in his honor.
Formal expressions as to the days
meaning in not only American. but
world history were sent to the country
by the President, cabinet officers. Gem
erals Pershing and March and other off,
Gals during the day. Secretary Daniels
added to his formal statement in an ad-
dress to wounded Soldiers at Walter
Reed military hospital.
THE men who made Armistice day
possible in 1915" the naval secretary said.
Twill never permit anarchy or autocracy
to rule here in America. Here where
brave men who made the noblest
sacrifices are making ready for future
patriotic service, there Is no need to mako
resolution Of devotion to Americanism.
Your dedication. made in bloody trenches,
calls for no peace declarations because
deeds live when words are forgotten.
This is not day for doubt or
|despondency or dial lance. 1t Is a day for
national baptism in the faith that sent
Americans boys unafraid over the top.
MY message to civilians ie: Let US fol-
low liberty as the men In arms fought
and died for it. To be worthy Of them
we must Join with them to make
democracy safe for the world"

POINTERS For PoULTRYMEN

There is no danger In getting the
house too clean.
Look after the drinking cups. see
that they are clean.
Worms are often produced by too
liberal feeding of meat.
Bright combs are sure indication
of good health and freedom from dis
ease.
1t is folly to market your large.
choice fowls and use the inferior ones
for breeding,
Let the fowls have all the exercise
possible so as to keep their digestive
organs working.
When the fowls are restless and COM
stantly picking their feathers. they
are usually infested with vermin.
Chickens in confinement. especially
when the ground Is frozen or covered
with snow. need a variety OF foods.
In addition to grains, we supply our
fowls regularly with greens or veget.

WHEN IRONING DAY COMES
(From the Troy Times

There are a few things which will make
the day easier. Do you ever scorch your
linen? II you do. do you know how
to remove the scorched spots?
II the scorch Is not very bad dipping
the article in water and hanging in the
sun for some hours will remove the spots.
To get rid of the more serious variety
dip repeatedly In saturated solution
Of borax. Then expose to the sun or fire.
light You can recognize a saturated So
luton of boric acid by noting whether the
borax stands undisturbed in the bottom
of the bottle. II It does the solution is a
full strength one.
Another way to remove badly scorched
spots is to peel and slice several onions
and extract the juice. to which you add
half an ounce of fine white soap cut
small, two ounces Of fuller's earth and
one cupful OF vinegar. Boil all together
and when cool spread on the linen and
allow it t. dry. Wash the article az
usual.
Also, does your iron cool all to quickly
II 1t does, try using a block of wood in
stead Of an open ironstand. The irons VIII
retain their heat much longer.
Cut a piece of fine sandpaper about four
by eight inches, and paste it or tack 1t
upon the end Of the ironing board. Pass
Ing the iron over this several times
viii make the iron as smooth as wax and
you have II always upon the board.
Another hint. keep thmble. needle and
thread handy. AS you iron mend little
tears A stitch In time will save nine
You will not have to handle the garment
again to look for the torn places. nor will
you lay the garment aside to wait for a
mending day. which has a peculiar elu-
siyeness In the face of more pressing
things.
Remember and heed all these sugges-
tions next time ironing day comes round,
and you'u have put in more efficient day
than you used to.
