The Man from the Rear Car.


A couple were occupying a middle seat
in the ladies' car, having got on at way
station. Probably attracted by the in
visible fascination which never fails to
bring about a contretemps, a gentleman
from a rear car came in and took a seat
Immediately behind the pair There was
shock of surprise as his eyes first fell
upon them, and deathly pallor over
spread his countenance. But this was
an instant only. Then flush succeeded,
and queer smile began playing around
the corners of his set, determined lips
An hour passed. The billing and cooling
went on, and the man was patient and
evidently an interesting listener. The
people in the car began to perceive that
something unusual was going on. FL
nally the man leaned toward with that
peculiar smile still lowering about his
lips, and said:
II beg pardon, but you seem to be en-
joying yourselves immensely"
The lady rose with stificd scream,
and wheeling around confronted the
stranger with a pallid face and great
staring eyes. Her companion was no
less disconnected. He, too, had risen to
his feet, and stood uneasily looking at
the intruder, flushing and paling by
turns.
"My God, it has come at last" walled
the woman.
The stranger was cool and impertur-
bable.
"You did not expect to see me, did
your
"Heaven knows I did notw exclaimed
the lady from whose eyes the tears had
already begun to trickle.
"Well, it's not unusual. People often
meet under peculiar circumstances. l
suppose you are on your bridal tour%'
The lady covered her face with her
hands and sank back into her seat. She
had already begun to sob Historically.

chance" continued the stranger. 'I am

But trust you will not let this acci.

The woman was moaning in abject
misery.
II wish you all sorts of happiness, and
will no longer intrude upon you. This

the spectators, "is my runaway wife and

and then turning away he stalked out
leaving the guilty couple alone in theil
humiliation and shame. At the next
station they quit the train.

The Land of INDIAN,


The words "Midian" and 'Midianites"
are, of course, familiar to every reader
of the Bible; even the little schoolgirl
knows that it was to merchants of this
natlon-Ishmaelites-tha Joseph was
sold. But we doubt whether many per
sons who are not advanced geographical
students have at all clear idea Of the
situation of this country, and still more,
whether they know that it was in very
ancient times resorted to by the Egypt
ians for gold and copper and for the
highly priced "blue-green stones"-i. e.,
turquoises. Midian, the Madyan of the
Arab geographers, is that part OF the
Arabian desert which lies to the east of the
northern portion of the Red Sea, a mar.
row strip of country extending length
wise from the head of the Gulf of Aka
bah to Hcjaz. 1t is mostly barren and
mountainous, and although under the
dominion of Egypt, is still in the pos
session of the children of shmael, the
wandering Bedouin.

Pet spiders.


As spiders are for the most part ban
ished from every room where they are
likely to hear music, opportunities are
very seldom afforded of witnessing their
behavior under its influence, but oc-
casionally people are met with who do
not share the general antipathy to these
interesting and ill-used little creatures
A few years ago the writer had conver-
alton about spiders with the waiter at
Messrs. Bofin's well-known dining-rooms
in Oxford. This man had pet spider
which lived in the sitting-room of his
home, and he could always induce it 10
come out of its hole by whistling. The
little creatures web was carefully pre-
served from injury, and at the time that
this interesting circumstance was related
to the writer, the spider was regarded as
the pet of the family. Similar cases
might perhaps be furnished by observant
lovers of the animal world, but unfor-
tunately very few people seem to be
aware Of the spiders partiality for music.
If experiments were made with different
kinds of instruments by skilled musi-
clans, it is extremely probable that very
interesting results might be obtained.

The Amethyst.


The amethyst is a variety of the vitre-
GUS portion of the quartz family. 1t is
of fine violet color, passing from white
to a deep purple, sometimes in the same
specimen. The deep purple coored speci-
mems are frequently called oriental, even
by some jewellers and lapidaries, although
the oriental amethyst is an entirely diff
ferent stone, as will be seen by the de-
scription of TIE oriental gem which is
given below The color of the amethyst
is by some supposed to be derived from a
trace of oxide of manganese. Later
analyses, however, have discovered also
SILICA, iron and soda. The amethyst is
found in India, Ceylon, Brazil, Persia,
Siberia, Hungary, Saxony, Spain, &c.
A fine vein is said to exist near Kerry,
Ireland. In Oberstein it is found in a
trap rock, in goodies of agate. These
geOdes are sometimes as much as two
feet in diameter, hollow, and filled with
crystalized amethyst of fine color.
Similar grades are also said to exist in
India. This variety of quartz, in COM
mon with some other of the vitreous
members of the family, possesses a pc
culiar, minute, wrinkled or wavy frac-
ture on the fresh broken surface, re-
sembling the impression of the thumb on
waxy substance. Sir David Brewster
classes all kinds of quartz having this
popularity as amcthysts without regard
to their color This gem is found in
pieces of considerable size, and from its
beautiful color and play, is much used in
jewelry.
Many years ago amethysts were of con
siderable value, ranking next to the
sapphire, but immense quantities having
been sent to Europe from Brazil, they
became comparatively common and grad
ually deprecated in value. Lattery
however, the taste for them has revived
and at present they are gaining grount
: in public estimation. On account of thu
cheaper cost of cutting amethysts in Ger
many, nearly all are now cut there

says that the gem was so called from the
fact of its approaching near the color Of
wine, but not quite reaching it.
In the middle ages it was believed to
dispel sleep, sharpen the intellect, and to
be an antidote against poison. In 1862 an
amethyst was worth as much as a
diamond. The oriental amethyst is a
ruby or sapphire possessing an amethyst
color; it may be distinguished from the
ordinary amethyst by its superior bril-
liancy and play, as well as by its hard
ness, etc; it is a gem of rare occurrence,
and even jewellers frequently confound
it with the ordinary amethyst. There
are some few specimens in the green
vaults of Dresden; there are also in the
Vatican one or two engraved intaglios
of this stone of very early date. Many
sapphires, however, have an amethystine
tint, which becomes very apparent by
candle light.
