Recently the Drltish warship Sparrow visited the native kingdom of Tonga, in the south Pacific, over which the British government exercises a protectorate. Its ruler Is a dusky and spirited young man who calls himself King George II. When the Sparrow was in the harbor of the Tongan capital a ball was to have been given on board. But the electric light failed and all sorts of expedients were resorted to for the purposes of illumination. An obliging customs official of high standing removed the light from one of the lighthouses in the harbor and took it aboard the Sparrow.

For this risky piece of politeness he was dismissed by the Tongan government. The captain. of the Sparrow Interceded with King George on his behalf, but his majesty was Inexorable, which indicates that he knows his business. i a. Food! Chop EAST 110U.NO.

American Preclods Stones. The United States can supply all the wants of its people for coal, iron, copper, petroleum, and all the useful minerals; gold and silver also are found In generous quantities; but of precious stones, the diamond, the ruby, the emerald, the topaz, it has practically none, except what it has bought abroad, says the National Geographic Magazine. In 1902 we paid $25,000,000 to foreign countries for" precious ntones that we imported, while during that year precious stones of the value of only $338,000 were found within our border. These were principally sapphires from Montana, turquoises from New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California, and tourmalines and chrysoprases from California. FUTURE USES OF OLD AGE, EXCURSIONS.

O. W. Rule. 40 When Elderly People Will Do Most of the World's Work. Our old men are going to be our future workers, if we are to credit a theory propounded In a recent won.

of Prof. Eli Metchnikoff, of the Pasteur Institute in Paris. He remind us that, in the case of some o'i the most industrious of the loWer creatures, such a3 ants and bees, the workers are distinct from the breeders, a third or neutral sex having been evolved by modification of one or both of the others. With man, no neutral has appeared, but bin. sexes cease the work of reproduction at a fixed period of life.

This, then, is the most favorable perioa for wcrii. and, when science has eliminated the infirmities of age, as Prof. Meicl. koff believes it Is now able, cr tu.r will be able, to do, the. aged, will our most vigorous and efficient tGsicrs.

This is a paradoxical conclusion, a one that will hardly gain the consent of all physiologists. Success. NEVER WITHOUT A CHAPERON.

Oh, the year is growing old, and the aun-ehine growing cold, And the shadows gmther sooner everjr day; Every u-ee. 13 touched with fire, each dy mounting hitfh and higher, And the night brings up the frost from far away. There are days of sunny calm when the winds bring only balm, And the fair blue ky above U3 bears no cloud; 1 Put the night creeps down the hill, and the soft, sweet air grows chill, And with rage the prowling north wind shrieks aloud. Long ago each winged rover sang, "Farewell, the summer's over," Spread his wings, and to the southward took his way; Not a scarlet mother-breast hovers o'er the empty All uncovered where the leaves have fallen away. Oh, the year Is growing old, and the sunshine growing cold, And the.

winter coming nearer, every day; But within the hearth Is warm, there is shelter from the storm, -And we know the spring awaits ua, far a.ay! Ninette M. Lowater. in New York Sun. Fever That Seldom Diet Out. Do you know there is such a thing as "newspaper fever" and that it just worms and burns its way Into a fellow's system and remains 'there as long as life lasts? It is a fact.

Men who work around newspaper offices know it to be true. They know it is true only to the men who work in the business, but many others who never happen to get into the business at -all. There Is an old legend to the effect that if a man once takes the Mississippi river water he will keep coming back to the sarnie old river, no matter where he goes. It is the same way in the newspaper business. Taste it once and you have got it in your system for good.

the operator all the time simplest Dutch Girl3 Always Attended by Their Elders. The Dutch girl does not enjoy anything like the amount of freedom granted to her English or American sister. She is a very carefully chaperoned young person and when she goes td the theater it is with her elders, cot merely with a. friend or two of her own age. At the dances she attends, songs, recitations and music for the oatertalnment of the elders form a part of tho regular program and the chaperons sit at tables socially enjoying their coffee or other refreshments, while the young folk glide over the waxed floor to the strains, of the latest waltz.

Dutch maidens have to make the best of their opportunities of amusement, for when it pleases their parents to seek the quiet of home teey must meekly accompany them. In their country the Idea of a girl being unchaperoned at a dance is not to 00 thought of at any rate, not yet!
