Jewels and Their Properties. '
The lateet atudy fad of all Is nreo-
lous and aemi-precloua stones their
form, -color and general ralaon d'etre.
Pearls, dlamonda, rubles and emeralds
still hold pride of place, but several
new stones hav been discovered,' and
others hav Increased in value and im
portance. Sapphires, amathyata and
opala hav risen In prlc and in popu
larity. Then a blue topaa haa been, re
cently unearthed In Rhodesia, and an
other novelty In Kunsite. a beautiful
mauva-coiored gem, only to be found tn
San Diego' county. California. And
several sorts of green - stones have
lately Coma much to tha for.- auch aa
peridots, olivines and tourmalines, each
of which look well when mounted with
diamonds. Also, there are fascinating
freak black - and - pink pearls, and
green, yellow, blue, brown and black
diamonds, ' " . . .'
Black diamonds hall from . Borneo.
They ar so hard that th ordinary
diamond dust makes no Impression on
them, and they can only b polished
wiitn their own aust. ,
' Black dlamonda wer one th mourn
ing jewel of th Russian court. B(laok
pearls have two lustres, a gray and a
green, of which tha latter is th more
valuable.
Opala ar valuable, and superstition
fadea away in tha atrenuoua life of the
new century. But even now some of us
believe In their uncanny influence. The
story goes that Alphonso XII of Spain
presented an opal ring to hla young
wife, Mercedes, and her death occurred
shortly afterwards. Before th funeral
tha lata king gave thla ring to hla sis
ter, Maria del Pilar, and aha also died
a few1 days later, Tha king then handed
over tha .ring to hla alatarin.law,
princess Christina, and aha, too, died In
the course of a few month. Alphonso,
deeply distressed at theae . fatalities,
decided to wear tha ring himself. But
ha wore It only a short time, as his
unhappy life soon came to an end. How
ever, thla ill-starred opal will do no
mora harm to humanity, aa the queen
mother of Spain attached tha ring to a
gold chain which now hanga around
tha neck of. the Virgin of Almunrtena,
jn Madrid. Opals sr found In Hun
gary, Mexico and in Queenaland.

To Roast tha ; Turkey. There I no

ia spoiled by being stuffed. It may b

and impart their seasoning to It. Roast
your turkey once without atufflng It,
and you will never again atuff It. - --
Draw It tha day before, put Inside, a
little chopped celery, dust It lightly
with pepper, and cover . tha breast. If
you like, with a Uttla fat bacon. Put
It Into a very bot -oven. - Aa soon as the
fat begina to snelt baste the turkey
every 19 mlnutea.
An eight-pound ' turkey ahould be
roasted two hours three, if atuffed;
increase th time according - to the
weight. Do not add water to tha pan
and An Tint salt the turkey if you use
bacon. If you do hot, duat It with salt
when it is half dona.

CHINESE! mandarin coata war first
worn a evening wraps -In this

i . and ever sine then their -popularity
haa - been steadily . increasing.
Owing to the " handsome . embroidery
these coata cannot well become ordi

Japanese seem to understand effective
color combination, better than any other
nationality, and they aeent to obtain cer

violently glaring contrasts that are any

hanced." - '-,. .' '! .
The majority of th mandarin coata
are of satin, almost completely covered
with rich oriental embroidery, tha chry-
anthamum pattern being tha on most
frequently seen; sThe Ao were there. are
worked in varied colore, often having
huge gold centers, and their shaded
green stems and leave generally being
In luat the right not of color. Nat

for even if the thin China silk inter
lining Is not worn or soiled It never
seems sufficiently handsome for th em
broidered eatln ooat.. A heavy aatln of
aoma dull antique coloring ia beat, the

is an excellent on to be carried out

FA that tha first school years ar
. learning and character-bulTdlng
ar concerned, and therefore tha best
and most efficient teachers ar put . In

harder to obtain -- successful kinder

capable of teaching alt th oiogies. -
Preparation for kindergarten teach
Ing 1 long and strenuous, and one must
really love -the work and th children
to succeed at thla important vocation.
Parents do not seem to realise the
value of the kindergarten for their chil
dren, and really make no effort to aend
the littles one unless especially appealed
to by aoma teacher or urged by a friend
and there la yet another reaaon why
soma little one enjoy th privileges of
kindergarten, although it la not exactly
an honor , to tha parents that It is so.
Mothers often send their Children to the
kindergarten as they Would to a day
nursery simply because they wish to
be relieved of their car during th
greater part of tha day. Well, at any
rata they are Ignorantly doing the beat
possible thing for th child. -m.
But we are not sufficiently acquainted
with th work of thi valuable educa
tional Institution; ws do not know what
la being accomplished through ths "play
methods ' of . instruction, but ar in
clined to regard the kindergarten as
useless, but on the whole rather harm
less, while some, in the conviction that
children are seat to school too early,
say that tha kindergarten la apt to re
sult in Injury to the child brain, because
It. I being continually over-stimulated,
and If their assertion wer true and the
child rushed too much by thla system
then th harm to the little ones could
hardly ba over-estimated. But the peo
ple who make this assertion hav not
inquired into th work to them a school
Is a school, and they associate the
kindergarten with difficult text books,
which little baebe must pussla over.
They think how cruel It la to keep the
baby feet and hands quiet when they
should be st play. Tea the kindergarten
teacher who would ddT this 'Shou1"b
removed at once and probably would be
for that la not the kindergartenidea
at all. ' ' . '
The kindergarten Idea I "Instruction
through play"; ths Instructress Is not a
"teacher" In tha accepted sens of the
term, but a playmate who directs and
takes part In every game; she ts not for
ever pointing morale and teaching
maxima which childish minds cannot
grasp, but ta ' teaching them through
their play be . truthful, kind hearted and
polite. They ara not taught to read and
write and cipher.' but ara encouraged to
enjoy all the poetry of child life.
Every normal child lovea to aing and
to hear "stories" to hear them and to
tell them and In the kindergarten theae
natural Inatlnete ar made the moat of

them all fit the aame measure when! they

If they make gay-colored little mat "to

Individuality la cultivated more during
the short tlm spent In the kindergarten
than during any other time in th child'
