Diamonds, rubies, sapphires and pearls have been used in all forms of decoration. The wonderful Peacock Throne of the Mogul emperors, w'hich was carried off to Persia by Nadir Shah in 1751 to adorn his palace, ow ed its beauty to tne artistic blending of the colors of' innumerable preci ous stones, and the magnificent thrones of the Russian potentates owe their splendor to such decoration. The malachite and the lapislazuli columns of churches such as that of St. Isaac In St. Petersburg and the chrysoprase walls In that of St. Wenzel In Prague, are also examples of what can be ac complished by a happv combining of colored stones. The Mlneralsaal' in the palace at Potsdam is another striking example of Uiis, but many of the minerals are in their natural state. Pearls and gems of all kinds have been used to embroider gowns, and have also been used in the cover decoration of books and ancient mis sals, notably the Ashburnham Mor gan Gosi^els, dating from the ninth century. The late Queen Isabella, of Spain, instructed her shoemaker to cover her shoes and slippers with diamonds, at the same time directing that some on each slipper should be loosely attach ed, on eachetaoln s.. etaoin slirdlu ed. so that they would detach in the dancing and be picked up by the gusts and sweepers of the ballroom floor, W’ho would find them to be genuine diamonds, thus proving that Queen Isa bella never worp any imitation .stones. In Bokhara and in other parts of the east turquoise and carnelian, as well as coral, are used to adorn the trappings of horses and dogs, and our w'estem world of today offer as an ec- centiicity the use of diamonds by a few ladies of the west to decorate their front teeth and the teeth of a dog. We also find human skulls in acient Mexican graves that are inlaid with small discs of jndeite and it is more artistic than the diamond in- crusting. While this last named prac tice Is certainly not a fruit of true ar tistic culture. It still may serve to hsow’ how widespread has been the tendency to employ precious stones for decorative purposes.—Address by George F. Kunz. ^ WIFE’S RIGHTS. Less than a century ago Justice Dul ler handed down his learned decis ion that the common law’ empow'ered a husband to administer reasonable correction to a wife with a stick not thicker than his thumb, says the Chi cago Tribune. In tnese humane or hynotized rays, all physical correction of a wife by her husband is held un reasonable. If he lay his hand upon her twice otherwise than in the w'ay of kindness, it is cause for divorce in most states. To maul her ho may be sent to the Bridwell. We have departed so far from the common law theory that husband and wife are one as to allow her to sue in her own behalf in her own name. B.it a wife in the District of Columbia has discovered that there is an exception to the emancipation act. She can prosecute her husband criminally for an ai^sault, but she can not bring a civil suit for damages. The wife had brooded over seven beatings for two years and then asked for damages.. D. A. R.

Mrs. Chapman, of Branch- land, Tells About Her Ser ious Troubles and How Cardui Helped Her. Branchland, W. V.—In a Itter from this place, Mrs. Elizabeth Chapman says: “I suffered from womanly trou ble for nearly five years. I tried all the doctors In the country, but they iHd me no good. I can say that I cef tainly do believe that Cardui saved my life. I took Cardui, and now am entirely well. I have gained 15 pounds, and feel like a new mow'an. I am thankful for what this medicine has done for me. I hope all who suffer from any kind of womanly trouble will give Cardui a fair trial. I will continue to recommend this great remedy to all friends, for I can not praise Cardui half as highly as it deserves.” You may be sure, that if Cardui will relieve and cure such serious cases as Mrs. Chapman’s—and It is doing this every day—it will certainly help those women who have no serious symp toms, but are just weak and ailing. Whether seriously sick, or simply w'eak, try Cardui. It will help you. In the past fifty years, Cardui has benefited more than a million w’omen. Why not test it for your trouble? X.

Highway Engineer Ahles Here Has Been Over Proposed Route —Favors Binders For Ma~ cadam Roads—Opposed to Water Bound Macadam, Mr. C. C. Ahles, expert road en gineer sent to North Carolina by the government, arrived in Charlotte today to see Mr. R. O. Alexander, one of the foremost promotors of the Charlotte-Wilmington highway. Mr. Ahles has been over the proposed highway betw-een Charlotte and Wil mington and is unalterably opposed to water bound macadam roads. Mr. Ahles is a great believer in binders for macadam roads and points to the thoroughfares in New York state w'here the binders have been used with excellent results. He says that wherever tho binder ma cadam is properly used the road is lasting and serviceable. Answ^ering the argument that there are holes in the tar binder road in the Southern part of the city, Mr. Ahles declared that it w',as the fault of the builders. The cost of putting a binder on is simply the cost of the material, said the expert. This is about $1,600 a mile on^ a 14-foot macadam road. He says in putting down the bind er no tar should be poured on the rock w’hen the air temperature is below sixty degrees.
