homesteaders and townslte entry of the unallotted lands in the great Uintah Reservation in Utah The Reservation contains 2445000 acres but the Military and Forestry Reserves and such Mineral lands as have to bo withdrawn under existing imitations such as those maae to imi tate the rare oriental pearls which fetch fabulous prices The emerald is another stone which Is cleverly imitated A perfect emer ald is the rarest stone in the world though the trade ranks it after the ruby and the diamond The best em eralds come from Peru the imitations from France and a few from Birming ham The real article becomes -electric the difference by friction and herein lies ference between it and the imitation AT THE LAST MOMENT Thoughts of Great Men Immediately Preceding Dissolution There are few sayings of great men half so interesting as the words they utter before the curtain is rung down ior the last time What for instance could be sweet of the last moments er than this picture ments of John Richard Green the his torian He had spoken the last sen tences of tender farewell and grati tude to those around his bed and then placing his forefinger on his pulse he looked up at the doctor ctooping over him and with a smile uttered the one word Stopped Phelps closing words were the most dramatic he had spoken on any stage He was playing Wolsey in Henry Till and had just spoken tne line -Farewell a long farewell to all my greatness when he staggered and boards which he was was led off the r ever to tread again Many of the kings of the earth have never been nobler than in the con cluding moment of their lives Rich ard I just as he was breathing his last said to Bertrand de Gourdon whose arrow had killed him Youth I forgive you and then turning to his attendants he said Take o his chains give him a hundred shillings and let him go A curious fancy possessed Garibaldi just before he died Two birds came and alighted on flying to his window tv cm d to Garibaldi they appear of his two dead ed like the spirits rhildren They have come he said father die Be their tenderly to see Sd feed them when Im to them and tone Thomas Carlyles death was St than his life easier or happier d at the last he remarked pathetic X is It not strange that these pie should have cnoSeu ------- ti tn make suuer in For Larger Lives In Heaver they say is undisturbed and perfect peace and yet Along our heartstrings even there a tremor of regret Must sometimes -wander into pain u memory survives A grief that in this good great world we lived no larger lives God moves our planet gloriously among the starry spheres And nobler movements for our souls through these our mortal years In -widening orbits toward Himself eter nally He planned We creep and rust in treadmill groves we will not be made grand Yet souls that win immortal heights un- clogged with self must move The only thing that we can take from earth to Heaven i3 love To make us great like Thee O God Thy Spirit with us strives Enlarge our lives to take Thee In O give us nobler lives Lucy Larcom Waste of Nerve Energy So many people needlessly and recklessly waste their nerve energy They drum the chair or the desk with their fingers or tap the floor with their toes They hold their hands They sit in a rocking chair and rock for very dear life If they write or sew they get down to it with a vengeance and contract their brows and wrinkle their foreheads and grind their teeth If they have an unusual task to do they contract and contort every mus cle of thebody making themselves tense and rigid all over when the work perhaps required but one set of muscles or perhaps the mind only as the case may be Tha Suns Heat The suns heat said the astrono mer Well let us say that the value of the suns heat is 25000000 Now what proportion of all that value do you suppose warms the earth Only two cents worth All the rest of the suns heat is wasted in space Of the 25000000 the earth only gets 2 cents With coal I can give you another idea of the suns heat Suppose that the earth was to contract to heat the sun Do you know what the result would be All the coal upon the earth would suffice to maintain the present solar heat for just one tenth of a sec ond Sober Second Thought A farm laborer who was getting married found that he had not enough money with which to pay the minis ters fee He promised however to pay him in potatoes when they were ready for digging up The minister waited for some time but no potatoes were forthcoming so he called upon the man and inquired the reason Well to tell you the truth guvner was the reply Id like to give you the potatoes but she aint worth it Harpers Weekly That glow of good feeling tradition ally believed to follow a kind act is dampened when one is not exactly sure whether or not he has been proved an easy mark When a man talks about giving hon or to the Most High he needs to be sure that he has some of his own in stock Henry F Cope in Chicago Tribune If some

BOGUS PEARLS Most Extensively Imitated of All the Precious Stones Among all precious stones few are so extensively imitated as the pearl The real article is a silvery white iridescent gem extracted from the pearl oyster The genuine pearl is really an unfructified egg of the oyster Its imitation is arrived at by a chemical process The liquid employ ed in the manufacture is called es sence dorlent The base of this compound is prepared by throwing in to water of ammonia the brilliant scales of a small river fish called the blay The scales are first carefully wash ed and put to soak in water when the pearlylike film falls away and forms a sediment at the bottom of the ves sel This sediment is worth to the manufacturer 25 an ounce White wax of mucilage or gum ara ble forms part of the mixture

Chicago Chronicle Famous Swiss Cheese According to a report by United States Consul Higgins of Berne there are 700000 cows in Switzerland They average 625 gallons of milk a year per cow a total of 462500000 gallons val ued at 44000000 Forty two per cent its used for home consumption and the rest for condensed milk cheese and butter Although representing but one fifth of the entire milk production the cheese market dictates the price of milk to all Switzerland The cheese is made in about 2000 small creamer ies some of which are owned by co operative societies and others by independent cheese makers Summer cheese made from milk dur ing the time the cows are in the pastures commands a better price than the winter product made when the cows are stabled The average price for cheese in 1903 was fifteen cents per pound The total export in 1903 was 53000 000 pounds valued at 8000000 Only Self Made Man The only self made man in the world Dr Mary Walker now has an
