HOW TO STUDY PROPERLY.
Book Should Be Well Cheaea an
Read Carefully, Not Devoared.
Study Is Ilka a dinner. The vlanda
must be well chosen and eaten slowly,
not devoured, tLen we I turned over
In the mental stomach for awhile va:
tu with ease and comfort they are per-
iecuy aieeated and furnish nutriment
to the brain. Most students study
without thought, which Is like eating
without digesting. Others read merely
as a fad and soon forget all they may
have learned.
The most satisfactory method of
tudy Is the digestive. It Is the thor
ough one the one that gives strength
to the brain. Take the Bubject you are
studying. llcnd a few lines or a few
pages, as the case may be, then put
the book down and think on what you
have read. Turn It about In your mind
from every standpoint. Do not accept
It Immediately. Argue for and against
It in your mind. In other words, masti
cate It. You need not be at your leisure
to do this. Do It In your walks, In your
Idle moments, at any time. When you
have satisfied yourself on the subject
go on with a little more In the same
way. In a short time you will find
yourself more a thorough student than
If you bad read all at a sitting. The
best educated man lu the end Is the
man who learns slowly, but surely.
COINED MONEY.
The Moat Ancient Bpeclmeaa Known
Are Thoae of Arglna.
Throughout the early parts of Scrip
ture as well as through the poems of
Homer not a single passage occurs
from which can be Inferred the exist
ence of stamped money of any descrip
tion. It is agreed that the Egyptians
had no coined money. Herodotus Is
authority for the statement that the
Lydians were the first people who coin
ed gold and silver. The Palran Chron
icle, however, ascribes the first coin
age of copper and silver money to
rheldon, king of Argos, 895 B. C, In
Aegina, which Aellan corroborates, and
the best numismatic antiquaries agree
In considering the coins of Aegina from
their archaic form and appearance the
most ancient known. They are of sil
ver and bear on the upper side the fig
ure of a turtle and on the under an In
dented mark. Coins are among the
most certain evidences of history. In
the later part of the Greek series they
Illustrate the chronology of reigns. In
the Roman scries they fix the dates
and succession of events. Gibbon ob
serves that, If all our historians were
lost, medals, inscriptions and other
monuments would be sufficient to re
cord the travels of Hadrian. The reign
of Trobus might be written from his
coins.
NOSE CHANGES.
They Are Gradual and Imperceptible,
but Contlnnoaa.
Don't worry about the' shape of youi
baby's nose If it Is a snub nor be sure if
It pleases you by Its regularity that It
will be the nose that will grow up with
It, for scientists have observed that no
feature changes more as life progresses.
The length of the nose Increases so
; much faster than Its breadth that the
snub nosed baby may evolve a long,
even hooked nose. This change In the
shape of noses is gradual and Imper
ceptible, generally more expeditious In
tho male than In the female, correlated
with various other characteristics, such
as Intellectual attainments or weak
constitution, and producing different
results. During maturity and senes
cence tho bridge of the nose becomes
more and more prominent, often more
convex, so that extreme old ago may
even develop an aquiline nose, so that
one need never despair of possessing a
satisfactory nose at some period of his
life If ho only lives long enough. But,
like so many other blessings that are
deferred, the right kind of a nose may
arrive too late to affect one's fortunes
or happiness.
A Study In Wrinkle..
When George Klgnold was playing
Henry V. a friend visited him In his
dressing room and remarked a large
and handsome photograph of Words
worth hanging on the wall. Said the
friend, "I see you are an admirer of
Wordsworth."
"Who's Wordsworth?" queried the
actor.
"Why, that's his picture Words
worth, the poet." .
"Is that old file a poet? I got him
for a study of wrinkles." London An
swers. Commercialised.
"This Is Indeed the age of commer
cialism," said the man of sentiments.
"What makes you think so?"
"Some of our statesmen never men
tion the American eagle any more and
are continually applauding the work
of the American hen." Washington
Star.'
Making a Name.
"Yes, she made a name for hernelf."
"In what way?"
"Why, she used to be Ellen Cummins
Brown. . Now she Is Alleen Comyna
Browne." Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Knowledge.
Knowledge will not be acquired with
out pains and application. It Is trou
blesome and deep digging for pure wa
ters, but when once you come" to the
spring they rise up and meet you.

In the whole wide world so sweet as

DIAMONDS.
K Tern Want to Make Them, Here la
the PrLreaa ot Manafactare.
Would you like to know how to man
ufacture diamonds real diamonds? The
process is somewhat difficult, requiring
time, patience and some outlay of mon
ey, but then consider the possible re
sults! The diamond, we know, Is sim
ply carbon In a transparent crystalline
form. It conies of humble parentage
and Is brother to the lump of coal.
Unlike easily crystalllaable bodies,
carbon la Insoluble in all ordinary solv
ents, but molten metals will combine
with It. Let the diamond maker choose
Iron for a solvent for charcoal, melting
It In an electric furnace, allowing It to
take up as much carbon as It can in
other words, saturate Itself with car
bon. The crucible containing the white
hot metal should then be plunged Into a
bath of molten lead. The result will be
that globules of iron will rise to the
surface of the lead and are quickly
coolfd on the outer surface. Inside the
hard crust the Iron remains for some
time in a molten condition, and as iron
expands lu solidifying the contents of
these little globules receive a pressure
unattainable by any other means.
When the lead becomes solidified some
bullets of iron will be found bound up
In the mass. Dissolve with some pow
erful acid first the lead and then the
iron, and a residue of carbonaceous
matter will be found to contain tiny
crystals renl diamonds. Any chemist
with a well equipped laboratory can
make diamonds in this way, but the
largest of them will not be more than a
fiftieth of an Inch in diameter.
THE CULT OF SILENCE.
Troeat Intercoorae Between Congen
ial Spirits la Without Words.
Now, to keep one's freshness there
ought to be a zone of silence around
every human being during soma part
of every day. It is significant that the
great religions of the world have come
out of silence and not out of noise, and
the finest creative work Is done, as a
rule, In seclusion not necessarily apart
from men nor lu solitary places, but
away from the tumult and away from
distracting Bounds.
It is lu silence alone that we come
Into possession of ourselves. The noises
of life disturb us as a cloud of dust in
tervenes between the eye and the sky.
There ought to be a cult for the prac
tice of silence a body of men and
women committed to the preservation
of the Integrity of their souls by nei
ther hearing nor making speech for
certain periods, pledged to the culture
of the habit of quietness.
Maeterlinck has pointed out the fact
that the best things ure never spoken,
and the truest Intercourse between con
genial spirits is carried on without
words. If we said less and thought
more there would be far fewer things
to explain, niuny sources of irritation
would be dried up at the sources and
the prime cause of irritation, which Is
nervous exhaustion or excitement,
would be removed. Outlook.
Lonir Beards.
Howell's "Welsh Celebrities" says:
"Llewenn had the longest beard of
which we have record. When Irene
and flowing It fell down over his
horse's shoulders almost to the ani
mal's knees. It was of a peculiar yel
low or straw color, which was all the
more curious, both his parents being
dark haired mountain Welsh people.
Years afterward the mountain people
bad proverbs which referred to this
freak, they often using the expression,
'About as long as Howlund's beard' or
'Yellow as the whiskers of Llewenn.' "
George Klllngworth, whom Queeu
Mary sent to Russia In IGoG as one of
her agents to Czar Ivan the Terrible,
had a beard five feet three inches in
length, and Count Ruloff of Poland,
1097, rejoiced In the possession of a
mustache which was so long that he
could not touch the ends of it with his
fingers.
Salphnr.
Sulphur is a solid, nonmctalllc min
eral which has been known from earli
est ages. It is hard, yellow and brittle
and has a most offensive odor. It Is
found in veins or beds, mostly near
active volcanoes. The Imported sul
phur mostly comes from Solfatla, In
Sicily, but large quantities are also pro
cured from copper and Iron pyrites.
Tbese minerals are heated, and the sul
phur being volatile files off In fumes,
which are conveyed by means of pipes
to a condensing room. If left In the
powdery state In which It condenses
It Is called flour of sulphur. If melted
and cast Into bars It Is called roll sul
phur. Written In Si ana;.
Matthew Henry's commentary on the
Bible was written for the common peo
ple and In the slang of the day. In
commenting on Judges ix he says: "Ws
are here told by what acts Ablmelech
got Into the saddle. He hired for his
service all the scum and scoundrels of
the country. Jotham was really a fine
gentleman. The Sechemltes were the
first to kick htm off. They said all the
111 they could of him In their table
talk. They drank health to his confu
sion." Ber Pocket book.
"Oh, my!" exclaimed Mrs. Schoppen.
"I've lost my pocketbook!"
"Never mind, dear," replied her bus
band. "I'll got you another pocket
book, and you can easily collect mora
dress goods samples." Kansas City
Independent.
Elecanca.
Elegance Is something more than
ease; It is more than a freedom from
awkwardness or restraint. It Implies,
I conceive, a precision, a polish, a
sparkling, spirited, yet delicate. Ha-
