SAPPHIRES AND TURQUOISES.
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. Josiah Gib
son in Stockman and farmer.

New Plan fcr Raising Revenue in
Puerto Rico
GIUN BY DAVIS, OF MINNESOTA
Internal BmiMN Uqoor mad Tobaero
I Su(xtrd to lab the Flae of
tha Tariff Mntarr.
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. : . -
