THE AMETHYST.
It Has Returned to l'opalar Favor
When l at'd with Diamonds.
The amethyst is to be restored to the
favor from which it has fallen during
the past three decades, says the Phila
delphia Times. From the most ancient
times It has been a favorite ornament.
Nor has its value been based upon Its
ornamental properties alone. Pliny is
authority for the statement that the
name of the stone is derived from the
Greek “amesthelstos*’—power to pre
▼ent intoxication. In this connection
It may be stated that the divinity of
the amethyst is Neptune. Sincerity is
the attribute which sentiment attaches
to the amethyst, the thought doubtless
being inspired by the stone's pure and
delicate hue. The month to whloh the
stone le dedicated is February. The
whim of fashion has revived the pop
ularity of an article of true beauty.
The deep, liquid purple, the mysterious
▼elvety appearance of a good specimen
and the stone’s effectiveness in combi*
nation with other Jewels ‘commend it
to all Jewelry lovers. Indications are
that the reintroduction of the stone is
not a compliance with a mere fad, but
a demand for a genuine revival of the
gem’s use. An amethyst is not an ex
pensive luxury as Jewels go; it is one
of the small class of things of beauty
found in quantities sufficiently plenti
ful to hold their price down to moder
ation. Siberia supplies the specimens,
whose clearness and richness and color
give them the position as the best of
their kind. Vast quantities of an in
ferior grade of the crystal are found in
the Lake Superior region. A great
many of the finds are useless for orna
mental purposes, on account of opaque
ness or deficiency or unevenness in
color. Brazilian amethysts nre not in
frequently white. In composition the
stone is almost identical with the
topaz. The similarity, therefore, exist
ing between the latter and the white
amethyst is said oftentimes to be
turned to good account.
CHILDHOOD OF GENIUS.
Violent, Frroclou*. Font! of Solltado end
DlMitgrtM-Mhla* In Society.
As far as 1 have studied the childhood
of genius, it commonly shows itself less
in performance than in character and
alas, not agreeably! The future genius
is often violent, ferocious, fond of soli
tude, disagreeable in society, says An
drew Lang in the North American Re
view. The great Du Guesclin, the
scourge of the English invaders of
France, was a most odious boy. His
parents had to make him dine at a
table apart. He was rude, ferocious,
a bully; he beat every boy he could lay
hands on; he ran away from home; he
led companies of peasant children
against other companies; he was the
terror of the neighborhood and the ug
liest page, us he became “the ugliest
knight in France.” This was the boy
hood of a great military genius; the
boyhood it was of a little savage.
Scott’s childhood was noisy. He yelled
old poems at the top of his voice. He
loved the lonely hills. He read for
ever, when he was not wandering alone
and he remembered anything that he
read. He was a dreamer, a teller of
romance* to himself. He delighted in
fighting, os did Keats. He studied ev
erything except his books. His enthu
siasm for poetry made a lady recog
nize him for a genius at the age of 6,
but his father thought he would end as
a strolling fiddler. Napoleon, again,
was sullen, lonely; a dreamer and al
ways “spoiling for a fight,” like Du
Guesclin. Unluckily, sullen, dreamy,
pugnacious boys are not at all uncom
mon. They do not become Scotts (not
that he was sullen), nor Du Guescllns,
nor Napoleons, nor Byrons—for Byron,
too. was a passionate, lonely, morbid
kind of boy, with terrible fits of tem
per. His early poems were trash.
Shelley’s early poems were trash;
Scott’s were as almost any cleverlsh
schoolboy can write, and there is no
promise at all in the Tennysons’ "Po
ems by Two Brothers.”

Special Interest to Sufferers from
Diseases of the Kidneys or Blad
der, Rheumatism, etc. —A Blessing
to Humanity.
A Free Gift of Great Value to You.
Our readers will be glad to know that
the new botanical discovery, Alkavis,
from the wonderful Kava-Kava shrub
has proved an assured cure for all dis-
Tjik Kava-Kava siiiiub and probably was
(Piper Methyitlcum.) used for centuries
by the natives before its extraordinary
properties became known to civilizatioc
through Christian missionaries. Ir
this respect it resembles the discovery
of quinine from the peruvian bark
made known by the Indians to the early
Jesuit missionaries in South America
and by tliepi brought to civilized man
It is a wonderful discovery, with a rec
ord of 1200 hospital cures in 30 day 6, It
acts directly upon the bloojl and kid
neys, and is a true specific, just as qui
nine is in malaria. We have the strong
est testimony of many ministers of the
gospel, well-known doctors and business
men cured by Alkavis, when all othei
remedies had failed. .

years of suffering from Kidney disease anc'
Rheumatism, and his rapid cure by Alkavis
Rev. Thomas Smith, the Methodist minister at
Cohden, Illinois, passed nearly one hundred
gravel stones after two weeks' use of Alkavis
cv. John H Watson, of Sunset. Texas, a ministei
of the gospel of thirty years' service, was struck
down at bis post of duty by Kidney disease
After hovering between life and death for twe
months, and all his doctors having failed, h<
took Alknvi«, and was completely restored tc
health and strength, and is fultilUng his duties ai
minister of the gospel. Mr. R.C. Wood, a prom
inent attorney of I.owell, Indiana, was cured o:
Rheumatism. Kidney and Bladder disense ofter
years standing, by Alkavis. Mr. Wood describes
himself ns being In constant misery, often com
pelted to rise ten times during the night or
account of weakness of the bladder. He was
treated by all his home physicians without tlir
least benefit and finally completely cured in t
few weeks by Alkavis. The testimony is tin
doubted and really wonderful. Mrs. Tames
Young, of Kent, Ohio, writes that she had tried
p‘x doctors in vain, that she was about to give
up in despair, when she found Alkavis and was
promptly cured of kidney disease and restored
to health. Many other ladies also testify to th<
wonderful curative powers of Alkavis in the
various disorders peculiar to womanhood.
So far the Church Kidney Cure Com
pany, No. 422 Fourth Avenue, New
York, are the only importers of thi*
new remedy, and they are so anxious to
prove its value that for the sake of intro
duction they will send a free treatment
of Alkavis prepaid by mail to every
reader of this paper who is a Sufferer
from any form of Kidney or Bladder
disorder, Bright’s Disease, Rheuma
tism, Dropsy, Gravel, Pain in Back,
Female Complaints, or other affliction
due to improper action of the Kidneys
or Urinary Organs. We advise all Suf

ARAB LIFE IN THE DESERT.
Food Is Well Cooked —Nlghta Are Ex
tremely Cold.
Desert life induces habits of abstem
iousness. Rising with the sun, a dish
of cumis or mare’s milk and a small
cup of black coffee are the only re
freshments generally partaken of, says
the Century. The day is spent follow
ing one’s pursuits and with the excep
tion'of an occasional cup of coffee and
some very light “snack,” one has no
tneal of any kind until after sundown.
One quickly becomes accustomed to
long fasting and abstinence from any
form of drink and the simple dinner
at'night is more keenly enjoyed in con
sequence. Though plain, the food is.
excellently cooked and usually con
sists of a huge tray of rice over which
is poured a dish of semna or liquid but-,
ter; round the tray are pigeons stuffed
with nuts and spices and the pyramid
of rice Is surmounted by a lamb or kid,
frequently cooked whole. Boiled beans,
and perhaps a few fresh herbs, appear
occasionally, which, with the usual flat
loaves and a large dish of rizbll-laban,
or boiled rice pudding, complete tho
meal. Salt is seldom seen —a distinct
privation— except on the first day of
your visit, and drinking water Is often
scarce. After dinner a huge tire of
corncobs or sticks and camel dung is
lighted in the tent, about which we
gather—and enjoy tho after-dinner cup
of coffee and a smoke, and, should we
lie in the mood, talk. The Arabs have
one excellent point of etiquette: Talk
for talk's sake is not expected. Ever
ready for a yarn, they eagerly respond
should you wish to converse, but tho
luxury of silence is not denied if one’t
mood be thoughtful. The idea of a fire
in one’s tent may strike some of mj'
readers as a superfluity, hut the nights
are often intensely cold, and after bath-*
ing in the sun all day, with the ther
mometer at 95 to 100 degrees in th®
shade, the sudden fall of temperature
to little above freezing point is very
trying, and in spite of fire, blankets
and a thick ulster, I have frequently
been obliged to go outside and run
about in order to restore circulation tc*
my half-frozen extremities.
Tho Indian Way of Driving.
Commenting on the attempt made by
the Government in 1867 to civilize the
prairie Indians by supplying them with
the garb and food of the white man.
Colonel "Bob” Dodge, of Dodge City,
says: “The authorities sent the In
dians thousands of sacks of flour; pan
taloons in abundance, and a big lot of
stiff-rimmed hats hound around the
edge with tin or German silver to hold
the rim in shape. They also sent them
a few light running ambulances. The
savages, to show their appreciation of
these magnanimous gifts from the
'Great Father,’ threw the flour on the
prairie in order to get the sacks for
breech clouts. They cut out the seats
of the pantaloons, and they cut the
crowns off the hatß nnd used them as
playthings, shying them in the air, like
a white boy does a flat stone, to see
them sail away.
“The ambulances they were proud of.
The Government neglected to send any
harness with them, so the Indians man
ufactured their own. They did not un
derstand anything about lines, and, in
stead, they drove with a quirt, or
short whip; when the near horse
would go too much ‘gee,’ they whipped
up the off horse, and when lie would
go too much ‘haw,’ they pounded
away at the near horse again, and so
vice versa all the time. This unique
manner of driving kept the poor ani
mals in a dead run most of the time.
I remember taking a ride with Little
Raven, chief of the Arapahoes. At first
we started off gently, but his ponies did
not go straight, so he kept tapping
them, now the off horse, then the near
until finally he got them on a rapid gal
lop, and I thought at dbe time my head
would surely pop up through the roof
of the ambulance. The country was
very level, fortunately, or I don’t know
what would have been the outcome.”
A Wonderful Automata.
If you have ever purchased a pack
age of postal cards you have perhaps
noticed that the strip of paper sur
rounding it looked as though it had
been put there in a great hurry. So it
is, but not by nervous human hands.
In the service oi the government at
Washington are two machines which
were made in Connecticut. These
machines arc capable of counting 500,-
000 cards in ten hours and of sepa
rating. wrapping and sealing them in
packages of twenty-five each. The
strip of paper which goes around them
is pulled off a drum by two long fin
gers. and another iron finger dips lnt
a pot of mucilage nnd applies itself
to the paper in exactly the right spot.
Another part of the machine wraps the
strip of paper about the cards,a thumb
like apparatus presses upon the muci
lage spot, and the package is thrown
upon a carrier and is ready for deliv
ery.
An Im|M>rtMnt Correction.
A recent issue of a Greenville (Ky.)
paper contained the following letter of
correction from a reader: “I desire to
make a correction of the account pub
lished in your last week's issue relating
to my marriage. It was stated that
when I was married I had on my
World’s Fair sox. This was a mistake.
I did not have on my World’s Fair
sox at that time, but wore a pair of
cotton sox that were presented to me
by my grandfather, Col. Jacob Leigh.
My grandfather, who was a soldier of
the war of 1812, had worn them at the
great battle of New Orleans and he
gave them to me as a relic.”
Treasure Worth Finding.
Talk about your hidden treasure! A
few days ago Mi’s. J. H. Brown, of
Haynesvllle, Maine, ripped open a
needle cushion which was filled with
bran, and had been in use fifteen
years. On emptying out the contents
she found 840 needles, nil but twenty
eight being good ones. There were all
sizes from darners down to the small
est of cambric needles.

BACILLI IN BUTTER.
Not the Bad Kind, hut I'm Thor* to
Make the Flavor Bolter.
One of the most startling discoveries
of this end of the century is that mi
crobes are required to make first-class
butter. “Bacillus No. 41” is the scien
tific term, or "artificial culture." This
startling microbe theory was first ad
vanced by a person who came from
Denmark to lecture on the art of but
ter-making. The theory, which was
received with ’scorn, is now advocated
by many scientists, nnd many creamer
ies now invest in tho “culture.” In
one state alone, lowa, twenty-eight
creameries are using the culture. One <
of its most satisfactory experiments
was made recently in a Connecticut
creamery. June butter, «h is well
known, is In flavor about the best pro
duced during the year, and the effect
of bacillus No. 41 upon June butter
was therefore especially interesting.
Early in June, when the amount of
cream collected by the creamery wns
very large, two large vats full of cream
were collected. One of those was in
oculated with No. 41 and the other
was uninoculated. They were then
both allowed to stand in the same
room, at the same temperature, for the
same length of time, to ripen, and were
subsequently churned. The effect of
No. 41 even here was striking. Both
lots of cream produced, as was to bo
expected, an excellent quality of but
ter, but No. 41 hnd an aroma more pro
nounced and more agreeable than that
of the butter made without the inocula
tion. In both taste and color, tho but
ter mnde by inoculation was decidedly
superior to that made without it. This
butter was submitted for testing to a
large number of persons, and no one
had the slightest hesitancy in deciding
that No. 41 made the superior quality
of butter. Experiments in improving
the quality and flavor of butter have
been made with over 100 different
species of germs, but it was not until
the experimenter hit upon No. 41 that
ho found a baeteria fit to put into his
mouth.
THEY LIVE CO-OPERATIVELY
Co-operative schemes of living have
many times been tried, but they have
invariably failed. There is a com
munity a half-mile from Boston, called
Brookline, where the co-operative
scheme has been brought to perfection,
all because the manager, as he says,
“knew when to stop.”
"The minute you encroach on the
personal liberty of people," said Mr.
Knapp, the manager, "then your
scheme is ruined.” The interesting
part of this enterprise is that it was
started a few years ago by Mr. Knapp,
who counted his money by millions,
solely ns a fad. He bought a large
tract of land, divided it into terraces
and on them built groups of houses,
which were costly affairs, forty-eight
in number, dreams of architectural
beauty, clustered around a central club
house. Since then he has lost his for
tune and makes his living managing
Beaeonßfleld terrace, its the place is
called. r i 4 1
Living is expensive there. There has
been no attempt at co-operative cook
ing and each residence has its own
cooks and maids, but if a valet or maid
is wanting one can he hired to come
once a week and oversee the wardrobe.
Each house is furnished with steam
heat from a little building nt the end
of the village, at the rate of from sl7
to $35 a month. There is never any
fuss over furnace fires and coal for the
residences of the terrace. A man is
engaged at $2 a week per house to
clean sidewalks, shovel snow, polish
outside brasses, etc. A little wagon
delivers daily packages from Boston
and takes bundles from the terrace to
other points. A big stable supplies all
kinds of carriages cheaper than livery
stable rates and accommodates the
private vehicles of wealthy residents.
A florist shop supplies fresh flowers
and all these supply stations are con
nected with each house by call-bells.
A telegraph office is in the manager’s
room. A handsome terrace drag takes
parties into town instead of a rattling
trolley car.
When a woman fortunate enough to
live in the terrace wants (o give a
tea or party she does not tear up her
own home, but rents the handsome
Casino for $lO and its very pretty
rooms serve the purpose immensely
well. A kindergarten for the children
is held in the Casino mornings, but
the rest of the day, when It is not pri
vately rented, it is a free clubhouse to
the village. There is a large play
ground for the children and a big ten
nis court.
As a co-operative scheme for the
wealthy residents of Beaconsfield ter
race the scheme is a great success, but
brought down to a more economical
basis men of affairs are doubtful as to
its efficiency.
About tiliiHK.
Glass-making is said to have a his
tory at once very long and very short; I
long, because it reaches back to
the most ancient civilization; short,
because though known for forty cen
turies, glass has been utilized only for
about a century and a half, and also
because the art of glass-making has
remained almost stationary, depending
chiefly as it does upon secretly trans
mitted recipes. A French writer states
that the struggle between capital and
labor, so fierce in the depths of coal
mines, is more bitter still in the fur
nace rooms of glass works, and the
glass Industry each day assumes a
more important place in the industrial
occupations of the present time.
About EiiterHon.
The anaemic incompleteness of Em
erson’s character is traced to the philo
sophy of his race and the fundamental
falseness of every bit of transcendent
alism. Emerson included, pointed out—
a falsehood consisting in the theory of
the self-sufficiency of each individual,
men and women alike. Margaret Ful
ler’s after history showed that she, for
one, was constituted like other human
beings, was dependent upon human
relationships and “was not only a very
noble, but also a very womanly crea
ture." She was driven into the vagar

something which dhc did not know ex

Newspaper Censorship in Europe.
Those who enjoy the glorious privileges of
freedom of speech, and freedom of thought
and expression, within the realm of the
states, will all the more readily understand
and deplore the restrictions and censoivhlp
of the press In many of the countries of
Kurope, under autocratic and even const It u
tioiial government. 11l Austria every paper
appearing more than twice a month has to
deposit caution money if politics are treat

Municipal Ownership.
The writer of a little pamphlet which has
been published in Cleveland calls attention
to the fact that the movement for municipal
ownership of public properties Is growing
and that the results are proving successful.
Manchester. Kiigland. Inis used Its own
gas plant for many years, and the money de
rived at a charge of HO cents a thousand
cubic feet Is sutlicicut to pay all expenses
and give the city treasury JJlini.imni annually
for other public expenses. It owns Its own
street railways and rents them to private
companies at' a good round protit. the fare
being equivalent to 1 cent a mile, and the
company standing the cost of all repairs,
l inh-r municipal control of Its gas system
Glasgow has reduced the cost of gas from
.*l.ll to fib cents, and car fares there have
been cut down one third, the town tlndlng
iituple compensation in the increase of pas

sion of its street railway system, loused It
to the highest on good percentages,
and the citizen of that town gets eight tick
