Tiie empress of Russia has the most bea'Krt;:! sapphires ni the world, and hc also posc?es -a wonderful col lection of turquoises, though it is not equal to that of the Baroness Bnrdett Coiu.s, who, indeed, is said to have the finest collection that exists. One of the most valuable and in ter "e'stimr of trems is tiie sappliire. and it U only less costly than the diamond and the ruby. Dark, indigo-hued stone sand, the pale blue ones are most 'Kauiifts. but the most prized tint of all is ar lovely corn-flower blue. . Turquoises of remarkable beatsty arc beiming more and more '.rare, The character f thi gem adds to its . inter cut, for itjs believed to have sorae sort of sympathy for its wearer. . It is said to grow paler if its owner becomes iil. and to lose its beauty entirely if Worn by a person of muddy complexion. Probably these sensative turquoises come "from the Arabian mines, , which have not a good name among jewelers, on account of the liability of the stones to change color. Persia has the mnst famous turquoise mines in the world, which have been worked no less than eight, centuries. These pretty stones, however are to be found; in many parts of the .world, in cluding Saxony. ; TIIE DESIRE TO FLEAS E. If people only realized how i.mport ant it was to put a little warmth into their letters." says a woman who ha had a' great deal of experience, "there wonM be more general amibifety in life, jihe went on, "and many more pleasant and kindly deeds done. People who write cold, formal letters of ecknowl edgment are apt to say th3t they are n. t letter writters. and not given to ex press their felings. But that is on ex cuse. Half the time they do have the feling. and a letter should be written two or three time until there is proper warmth sn it. The recipient of a gift or a favor shoahi put. herself into an exprcsive mood before she whites, and if ie thinks a few minutes she can do it. I have received letters of ackniwl edgernern ?o entirciy ferwal and "with out feeling hat my firs thought was that I would never do anything for that person again, and I didn't much care it" I never saw them. There 13 usually, or tnerc jmonld he. some hrtle warmth of feeling and desire to give pleasure ia sending a ge, and a cold note from the recipHcnt comes in fne nature ot a blow.' On "the contrary, there- are p.e ip'e io- write such pretty, gracetal zr'i pleased little notes in response to sn ail favors that it gives one a feehng of warmth ad over to receive them, and an immediate desire to, do as many nb-aant things as possible for the writer. -I nave known so tnanrjIe ar' journeys and invitations which have come to girls chiefly irotn their, peas ant man'rers in expressing thanks.- li I had daughters one oi the things that I should urge urjon them most care mlly woulj be t4- answer letter- that require, an immediate answer at -once and never fail to acknowledge favors in a spirit of genuine warmth. LESSON TAUGHT THE BRIDE. Neatness is one or the most attract- ive of feminine qualifications to a man. It is also one of the rarest. Early and persistent must be the training which carries a girl into wo manhood with her ,kbump of neatness' well developed. Unless inherently fas--tidious during school days she is lia ble to drift into careless habits which she never outgrows.: .? One girl may have trick of leaving shoes aont her room.- 'As a mere tot ih e was permitted to do this and as she grew older the juntidy custom was nev er abandoned. : for the simple reason that she herself did not ' notice any thing unusual : about it and probably nobody else felt at lerty to correct her. Another young woman, particular to primness in other directions, has a slovenly habit of leaving combings in her hair comb,; and this brings mc to a little story which accentuates the ne cessity of constant vigilance on a wo man's part unless she would be judged unworthy of her birthright daintiness. Tiie story was a young bride's re miniscence 01 her honeymoon. It proves that no matter how slack a girl may be in toilet habits, matri mony is the calcju-m light which shows them up in all their garishness and many a pang of mortification she must endure in consequence. '"Never shall I forget," said this bride, "the first word of criticism I re ceived from my husband. Everything was moving along beautifully. There hadn't been a single cloud over: our honeymoon. Then one morning I found Hal standing before my dressing, table looking down disgustedly at the comh lying there. . 'What was the matter?" Here two cheeks blushed like scarlet geraniums. "Well, I had left it full of combings, a habit I may frankly admit il had al ways been guilty of. This time it got me into a pickle. Hal held that comb out at arm's length, the untidy mat ox" hair clinging to it. and 1 will say he tried to make his voice nice and lamb like, but I saw by the line of his lips and the flash of, his eye that he was thoroughly put out. " 'Elizabeth. said he. 'is this yorr comb?' just s if he didn't krow it was the verv comb he had given me my last birthday. "I meekly answered 'Yes. " 'Then.' said he. "I would try t.i keep it like a lady's comb. With that, he turned on his heel and stalked ont of the room, leaving me" sniffy and feel ing terribly abused. "But it was. a wholesome lesson. ' I never forgot it, and my comb rested in spicK ana span cleanliness on my dresser ever afterwards. 'Not thr t . comb. I packed it out of. sight, hand-. some s it was. that very morning, and coalcTn't bear to use it again. But Pve never been caught napping with Us substitute. Not a single hair is allowed to remain in it over time." ' This bride's husband had the courace to correct her for her fault. How many men. though aatural r.tat thcni.?ehes, have to endure the petty frials of a wife who is careless fn such toilet trifles' Philadelphia Pre?. HOW TO APPLY MANURE. In Stockman and Farmer of Febru ary. 8, A. S. B. wants to know-how and when to apply manure to get the most out of it. The writer has applied manure direct to the potato, crop with good results, even spreading it in the drill before planting the ..potatoes, but in applying it in thii way there is dan gen of producing scab or rot in" the po tato. If A. S. B.'s soil is fertile enough ib produce a good stand of clover when sown with oats I would prefer to spread manure on clover after oats is removed. This will give a strong, vigorous growth of clover which should be left on the ground to protect the clover plant in winter and add humus to the soil. The clover plant treated in this way the first season will make a strong root growth and will penetrate the sod to a greater depth, adding fertility and pulverizing the soil and should put it in condition to grow two crops the following sea son which can be cut for hay or first for hay and second crop left on the ground to be plowed down for potatoes the following season, but this J do not believe is economy. 'Better cut and cure for hay, feed it to the cows and turn it into miik and bultcrJ save all the manure, apply it "to next season's clover crop and sn this way get the cash vatuc and fertilizing value as well. I believe. ail thinzs considered, that manure: spread on clover in A.S-B.'s short rota tion of crops potatoes, oats and cIom vcr will give as gooa returns as ju applied directly to either of the crops. It will increase the amount of hay pro duced, which in turn will increase As manure pile. It will enlarge the clover roots, and, driving them down deeper .into-the soil, will produce greater mcr chanical action on the soil.' thus putting it in the best possible shape for th pota to crop which is to follow. If soil is not rich enough to secure a good stand of clover whn sown wirh oats I would use commercial fertilizer so as to se cure it, and it may be found profitable to experiment with commercial ferti lizers on the potato crop.

WASHINGTON. March 2S. The ?cr.ate today" sjgreCd to Tote ujon the Prcrto Ricanj government and tariff i:ii! on Tne-sday aiternon at 4 o'clock. An important utterance was ntade late in (he day, by Davis, of MHinesoia, w ho atlvocate-l free trade lerween the United States and, Puerto Rico. His ?5eeeh was comparatively brief, but his' reasoning ivas so close that; he crowd ed hito small space an immense amount of well digested information and care ful thought. His proposition was thai the necessary money to be raised ty taxation should not be raised 4y a duty levied -upon Puerto Rican products, but by an internal revenue tax levied on the rum and tobacco products of the island. This system, m his opinion.; would bet ter suit the people of the United States Lf-m dthosc of Puento Ricr-tlan the pro posed! tariff, and would he just, equita ble arfd Vonsjtitutional. An argumtnt advanced to support the tariff, he said, .was the protection the 15 per ".cent "would afford to our products and labor. He ridiculed such a proposition, as no protectionist would contend; that IS per cent of the Dingley rates would afford an adequate protection for; anything. .'Adverting to tiie Philiiiines as a fador in the Puerto Rican problem, Senator Davis said: L . . "When we ; come to deal with the Philippine oucstitin. we will take care of that. Puerto Rico is little more :han 500 miles from our coast; the Phil ippines are. 8000. The island of PuerM Rico ia, naturally a part of, the North American jur&diction.. The Philip pines arc a part oi the domain of Asia. Agaiivt the products and people of the Philiplrincfs wtien the time; comes, the rights of American labor will be pro tected by any party that may be in po-Acr." Davis said jt was inconsktent to ex teml onr -laws relating to coastwise trade to the island, and not extend our tariff laws. : . - WILL COME WEST. President McKinley to Visit .During This Summer.
