Beecher and Books.

Somebody happily recalls what Hen
ry Ward Beecher said about books
and believes it is well worthy Of re-
production, more especially because
there seems to be a revived liking for
books just now. Well, 1t Is worthy Of
reproduction anyway:
Books are the windows through
which the soul looks out" said the
Plymouth pastor. "A house without
books Is like a room without windows.
No man has a right to bring up his
children without surrounding them
with books, If he has the means to buy
them. 1t Is a wrong to his family. He
cheats them. Children learn to read
by being In the presence Of books. The
love Of knowledge comes with reading
and grows upon 1t. And love of knowl-
edge, In a young mind, Is almost a war
rant against the inferior excitement
Of passions and vices. A little library
growing larger every year. is an hon
orable part of a young mans history.
1t Is a mans duty to have books. A
library is not a luxury, but n Of the
necessaries of life."

WIG TOO SMALL FOR FRANKLIN
Representative From the New Amer,
= lea Had to Appear Before French
King in Bald Pate.

Benjamin Franklin was about to be
presented to the French king on the
occasion of his first visit to France in
the capacity of representative from
the new America. The court custom
of the time demanded that one going
to- an audience with the king must
wear a wig of the proper fashion. A
count, who had Franklin in tow, sent
a wigmaker the day before to take
Franklin's measure and fit him out
for the audience. The wigmaker ar
rived at Franklin's lodgings, measured
the poll Of the great American fore
and aft and around and about and
took his departure. An hour before
the audience the wigmaker retained
with the wig. But when Franklin at
tempted to put it on it would not
Mt; he couldn't begin to get it on his
head. "Sir," said Franklin to the
~wigmaker, "your wig is unfortunately
too small for my head"
"PardOnnez moi, monsieur" replied
the wigmaker, "your head is vastly too
large and quite beyond the fashion of
the court"
Franklin appeared, therefore, al
court with his bald pate and shaggy
gray hair.-DetrOit Free Press.

distinguished astronomer that the star

been known as a variable, is in re.

to separate them, and their existence
is proved by the shifting lines in the

MONTANA CONGRESSMAN
LEADS IN RATE FIGHT
One Cent a Mile Rate to National
Conviction Obtained for All
Legion Men.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Congressman
w. j. Mccormick of Montana is the
recipient Of much praise from mem
bers of congress, public officials and
members of the American Legion as
a result of his successful leadership
in the recent fight for a reduction in
rates to the Legion convention at
Kansas City, October 81.
When Mr.. Mccormick received a
telegram from the board OF railroad
commissioners of Montana and from
O. C. Lamport, state adjutant of the
Legion, he Immediately called a meet
ing of representatives from 16 western
states and laid the proposition before
them. The roads east Of the Missouri
had granted a rate of n cent a mile
to the convention for members of the
Legion and their families. The roads
west Of the Missouri had refused to
do better than a fare and a third.
The informal caucus named a COM
mittee to take up the apparent dis
elimination with Eben E. Macleod,
chairman of the Western Passenger
association of Chicago, and Mr.. Nc
Cormick was named chairman.
Congressman Mccormick then pre-
pared a letter setting forth the cir
cumstances and requesting that a tele-
gram be sent to Mr.. Macleod demand
ing justice for the Legion men of the
west. This letter was sent to 76 men,
bers of congress from the west. The
next morning replies were received
from a large majority of the repre-
sentatives stating that they had been
glad to take action in behalf of the
former service men. Mr.. Mccormick
then sent a telegram signed by the
members of the committee stating that
congress was unanimous in demanding
that the former service men of the
west be given the same privileges as
their comrades of the east.
Then an exchange of kilograms fol-
lowed extending owe a period Of a
week, Mr.. Mccormick never for a mo-
ment receding from his stand. Fail
ing to get satisfaction from the West
ern Passenger association, he then
filed a brief with Thomas Dewitt Guy
Ter, president of the Associated Rail-
way Executives association. New
York. This action, however, was found
to be unnecessary when on the follow
ing day a message arrived from Mr..
Macleod stating that the Western
Passenger association had agreed to
the reduction on all of it's lines.
The decision will permit many Le-
gion men to attend the convention who
had not planned on it because of the
cost of travel. 1t will give the former
service men of the west a much
stronger representation which may
result in the next convention being
held in the west.

ARE YOUR JEWELS GENUlNE7
Many Precious Stones Now Are Imi-
tated So Closely That Detection
ls Difficult.

Rubies, sapphires, emeralds, many
other stones, can now be initiated so
beautifully that 1t is no longer easy to
detect the difference. upon a casual ex-
animation. Pearls are made in q num-
Der Of varieties, and imitation pearls
are plentiful and often worn.
While only an expert can determine
whether some gems are genuine,
there are certain simple methods by
which in most cases 1.-THE genuine ar
ticle" may be detected at home.
Color is usually considered the first
great criterion of all precious stones.
1t Is now generally conceded, however,
that color alone Is not a criterion by
which stones may be judged; other
physical properties must be taken into
consideration by the jewel expert.
The structure of the stone is a more
certain test. The optical properties
of the stone, however, are the most
certain test-generally known as its
retroactive property" This can be
ascertained by means Of a small in.
strument known as a "refractometer.'
Refraction means simply the bend
ing of the light rays out of their nor
NAL course, when passing through GER
tain solid objects. The degree to
which these light waves are bent is
called the "refractive index" In
most transparent bodies, including
gems, the refractive index is con-
slant and KNOWN. Hence a degree of
%refractiOn which differs from that
established for the species leads to
the certainty that the stone under ex-
animation is not a genuine one, but
