Wealth is Not Always Happiness.

Often happiness is forced upon us
as through i'll fortune. Many man
of wealth finds life dull and insipid In
the midst of luxury and crowds. 9th
ers have really begun to live with the
loss of their wealth. History is not
without examples of men and women
who have renowned their. wealth to
find joys in doing things as men. The
story is told of a woman who had all
the money she could use and still was
not really happy. Ill fortune reduced
her wealth and she was compelled to
work for the support of her children.
Her friends thought work degrading
TO her, but she declared that she has
never enjoyed life so much as since
the loss Of her money. She is putting
herself into the money she earns.

Emerald Rarest Gem.

Owing to world shortage. emeralds
have become the rarest and most ex-
pensiye of precious stones, says the
Straits Times, Singapore. Prices dur
ing the past four years have been
bounding up until the emerald is now
four times It's pre-war price.
The reason for the scarcity of the
stones is the poor output from the Co
lombian mines, which are government
owned and produce % per cent of the
worlds supply. These have not been
working for seven or eight years.
A five-carat stone, sold at London
recently. fetched $500 carat.
At Anakie, Queensland, Australia,
some very beautiful velvety green sap
phires Of great brilliance are mined.
and the miners are trying to persuade
jewelers. TO accept them as substitutes
for emeralds.
