Cat,s Eyes and MOOnstones.


"Here is something for the lover Of
fine Jewels" said a connoisseur in
gems, and he opened a small velvet
box about the size of a thmble and dis
played something that shone like moon
light.
That is just what it is, condensed
moonlight. There is the opaline glory
without the color and the shifting light.
1t is the cold, pale brilliancy of moon
shine, and has never before been
worked. 1t is the Ceylon moonstone, or
moonlight quartz"
The stone was set in a lady's breach,
of small oval size. The faces of two
children were carved in the moonstone,
which was surmounted by circle of
diamonds.
"We prize it very highly, as it is the
coming gen." continued the connois-
seur. 1t can not be initiated any more
than the moonlight can. The water has
petrified with the rare brilliancy of a
tropical moon held in its depths. 1t
took centuries to solidify it, but only a
moment to imprison that glory of white
ness. 1t gives the arbitrary belle of the
present a new fashion. 1t is much more
pellucid than opal, which is water petri-
fled, with multitudes of infnitesmal fish
in it, which is developed by microscop-
ical power There are no fish in the
moonstone. The shifting colors of the
opal are caused by the expansion of the
fish under heat. -Detroit Free Press.

Effects of Tea on Health.

The consumption of tea has become so
enormous as to have suggested study
of its effects upon the health of the peo-
pie. There are those who look upon it
as an evil only second to that connected
with the excessive use of alcohol. Tea
is spoken of as an agreeable cerebral
stimulant, quickening intellectual oper-
alton, removing headache and fatigue,
and promoting cheerfulness and sense
of well being. When it is used to ex-
cess the digestive and nervous systems
are especially affected.
There is no doubt that there are cases
of dyspepsia caused by the inordinate
use of strong tea, and it is also matter
of common observation that sleepless-
ness, palpitation of the heart and nerv-
Gus irritability often follow the pro-
longed use of this beverage Tea drink
ers, by which we mean those who use
tea to excess, are to be found in all
classes of society. The fact should be
impressed upon such persons that tea
is not food and can not, therefore,
without risk to health, be substituted
for articles of diet which form both
flesh and bone Science

Persons given to meditation must Of
ten have found ample material for spec
ulation in endeavoring to imagine what
train of thought could have prompted
the introduction of certain surgical pro-
cedures or led to the first trial of this
or that therapeutical agent in the treat
ment of a particular disease. What, for
example, could have stimulated the first
idea of curing sciatica by stretching the
sciatic nerve? Certainly the task of
finding train of thought which should
conduct to that conclusion would be a
severe one. Many such methods have
doubtless been suggested by a real or
fancied analogy between them and GER
tain natural accidental occurrences, and
in this sort of observation charlatans in
all ages have shown themselves singu-
larry apt.
We may quote an instance of recent
occurrence where the cure was effected
under circumstances which must have
suggested to bone-shakers their violent
and unscientifc but occasionally sue
cessful manipulations. In this case the
person had been almost bedridden for
many weeks from sciatica: still suffer-
ing acutely from the attack, but tritle
less in pain, he hobbled forth to get the
benefit of little fresh air: at "A crossing
he was roughly pushed by passing
vehicle, and after desperate but I'M
availing effort to preserve his equilibrium
he fell on the road in the midst of a
fairly dense traffic. 1t was only when
he had regained the sidewalk that he be-
gan to feel establishment at the, in him,
remarkable agility shown in jumping
up and running to place of safety

The Paris BouIevards Changing.

The physiognomy of the boulevards is
rapidly changing. The mention of
things in Spain brought into my mind
the appearance of the Spanish streets,
and the fact that the great avenues in
Paris are beginning, curiously, to re-
semble them. Never before were there
SO many hawkers of small and cheap
prints, of caricatures, of pamphlets, of
books more or less indecent in char
acter, of cheap ware, as at present
The populace of BelleviIle has come
down and taken possession of the CEN
trail avenue, with no dangerous intent,
but with view to commerce which
would have been sternly frowned upon a
few years ago. A vender of cheap but
tons and shirt studs sets up his little
booth in the immediate vicinity of the
glories of the Jockey club. The sand
witch man is to be seen at every corner.
The tripe man even rings his bell along
the Boulevard DIES Capucines. Then
there are hours in the day when the
street is like vast fair. All this in
dicates that the police have less power
than before, that the city council is be-
/ ginning to have an influence upon the
decisions of the state with regard to the
capital, which it could not forcibly have
secured three or four years after the
declaration of the republic Boston
