4 LJEE-LDSG DECEPTION.

\ curious case of assumption of sex
was lately discovered III Paris. \ pen
stoned officer named Srnkeisen, now
nearly eighty years old, fell i'll and had
to be taken to the Nccker Hospital. Then
the doctor III charge discovered that the
officer belonged t. the female sex. Her
secret being thus discovered, the brave
old girl gave the story of her life. Or
phamed at the age of fourteen, her grand
fathgs, Il noted General, by some uncx
planned whim. forced her to enlist in One
of tie regiments of his division. She
advanced rapidly III the campaigns of
Germany and Spain, ana was wounded
twice, and severely, at the battle of Wa
terlo0. She then was admitted III the
hospitals as an officer Of the second class.
In 1880 she took service again and went
to Algeria; in 1886 she obtained French
naturalization and a pension. This wo-
man has q glorious character to boast of,
having received letters IF con%gratulatiOn
on her vaior0us deeds from various
French Generals.

\ Sacramento paper says that DR..
Hugh J.. Glenn, of JacintO, Colusa
county, California, has raised and har-
vested the past season on his own farm
600, 600 bushels of wheat. This would
load eighteen 1,00O-ton ships or three
hundred canal boats. All this wheat he
has now in his own warehouse, ready for
shipment when the water of the Sacra-
mento river rises sufficiently. The Doc
tor is a wonder to the agricultural world
and to himself. He runs ninety gang
plows and a whole county's population
in the harvest field, with Il dozen
threshers. His farming is not confined
to wheat alone. He markets 500, 900
worth of stock each year. DIR. Glenn is
a practical farmer, and manages all his
immense business himself. He can
mend a trace and make a key to an OK
bow with his j~ack-knife just as easy as
drawing his check for 100000, which
he can do every day in the week. DIR.
Glenn was born in Augusta county, Va,

Pr EEIOES STONES


In former ages most precious stones
were supposed to be endowed with me-
dlcina properties and virtues, and among
them jasper took the lead in value. 1t
cured fevers and dropsies, stopped hem
orrhages, baffied the effects of ~witchcraft,
and promoted parturition. Emerald jas
per was pre-eminent in these qualities,
and, moreover, insured chastity aud con-
Thence to the wearer, on which account
ecclesiastics wore emerald rings. The
turquoise of Turkish stone was supposed
to have many and various good qualities
that made it second only to Jasper i'll
popular estimation. Shylock's ring that
he would not have lost " for 1t wilderness
of monkeys" was Il turquois. This
was believed to strengthen the sight and
spirits of the wearer, to take away all en-
nifty, and reconcile masl and wife, and to
move when any peril was about to fall
upon the wearer. However, the most
wonderful virtue of all WAS that it
protected it's wearer from injury from
falls, SO that however serious the danger
the stone only broke, and the wearer es-
capped unhurt. TOadstOne was q cure for
many disorders. Agate rendered athletes
invincible, cured the sick, and enabled
It's bearer to gain the love of all women.
Amber was good against poison, and it
is still priced for its electrical qualities
qualities which take their name from it.
Amethyst WAS an antidote against drunk
enness, and II the sun or moon was ell
craven upon it it was n charm against
witchcraft. Blackstone checked bleed
ing at the nose. Coral hindercd the de-
lnsions of the devil. Crystal clOuded if
evil was about to happen to the wearer,
and it was formerly much used by for
tune ~tellcrs. Diamond was an antidOte
against all poisons. Opal sharpcned the
sight of its pOssessOr, and clOuded the
eyes of those who stood about him.
Ruby changed its color if any calamity
was about to happen to the wearer OF it.
Sapphire possessed the same virtues us
the bloodstone. Topaz cured and pre-
vented lunacy, increased riches, assuaged
anger and sorrow, and averted sudden
death. When such blessings as these
We're supposed to fall to the lot of the
pOssessor of one OF these precious stones,
who can be surprised at the value set up
on them!

4 R.1T HITH RE.1SCS.

A story is told by a farmer at Bloom
field, Pa, which seems to Indicate rea-
soning power and bit Of tho heroic ele-
ment in Il common rat. Two rats, an
old gray matron of the corn-crib and her
offspring, had been caught together in Il
common box-trap. Through a crack the
pair could be seen together within, low
ing enough, till the farm dog was
brought to the mouth Of the trap. As
soon as the mother scented the dog she
seemed Immediately to divine the APP
