Various Gems and Their 0mens.

Popular Science Monthly: In the
fourteenth century a fancilul Italian
writer On the mystic arts set forth
the virtues OF the various gems,
indicating also the month in which
it was proper to wear patioalar
stones in order to secure the best
results. The idea took, aud for
some time it was the fashion in
several Italian cities to have the
precious stone Of the ring determin-
ed by the month in which the bride
was born.
II January, the stone was garnet,
believed to have the power Of win.
ming the wearer friends wherever
she went.
In Febuary. her ring was set
with an amethyst. which not only
promoted i'll her the quality of
sincerity but protected her from
poison and from slanderous tongues.
The bloodstone was for March.
making her. wise and enabling her
with patience to bear domestic
cares.
The diamond for April, keeping
her heart innocent and pure SO long
as she wore the gem. -
An emerald for May made her (
happy wife.
An agate for June gave her
health aud protection from fairies
and ghosts.
If imrm in July. the stone was
a ruoy. which tended TO keep her
free from jealousy Of her husband.
In August the sardouyx made her
happy in The maternal relation.
la September sapphire was the
proper stone, it preventing quarrels
between the welded pair.
In October carbuncle was
chosen to promote her love Of
home.
The November-horn bride wore
a topaz, it having the gift of making
her truthful aud obedient to her
husbond. #.-
lu December the turquois insured
her faithfuIness.
Among the German country io.k
the last named stone is to the pre-.
sent day used as setting for the
betrothaI ring, and so long as i,
retains its color is believed to in
dlcate the constancy Of the wearer.

DUB FAME EXTENDING.
An Editorial From Prominent
Eastern Trade J Journal. ( &

Before US is a copy OF the Western
Broker, an influential Chicago trade
journal. In a prominent position, is
printed letter from Secretary Fornan,
of the Chamber of Commerce, and pre-
faced by the following editorial utter
ance:
"Our readers will find in the letters
from our Salt Lake special correspond
ent, some very interesting and instrc-
tive reading regarding the social and
political status, and the mineral and
agricultural resources of that world re-
nowned, but little known OF country,
the territory OF q tah. We believe thai
when the prejudice and misconceptions,
which the outside world has for several
decades pursed, regarding this portion
ofseur continent have been removed,
and when other states have acquired a
true knowledge of the possibilities OF
the vast e1panse of country which this
territory embraces, the gentiles will
flock shither, capital will be invested
enterprise and science will aid the hand
OF the diligent toiler to bring to the sur
face the hidden wealth and fruitfulness
OF the land. We can scarcely conceive
the immense possibilities and grand re
sources, against which social PROBLEMS
have blinded our eyes, and ior the solu-
ton of which, the marching thitEer OF
armies of intelligent citizens, bent on
the development Of her wealth, will &C.
l'compllsh more than acts of congress
or legal enforcement. As these ar
ticles, which will continue to appear in
subsequent issues, are written by q
gentleman of high social standing. who
expresses himself in a graceful and at
tractive manner, and who takes pa
triotic interest in the welfare of his
native land, we commend them to oul
readers. as some relaxation from the
ordinary dry routine of a trade jour
nal"

a Great Victory
A Terrible Case of ScrofuIs
Cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla

I" In the winter of 1879 I was attacked with
Scrofula in one Of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and aroundmy neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of w. J.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less do not know what it NAV
have done for others, but | do know that in
my case, Hoods SarSapariha has proved an
effective specific indeed. AS an evidence of
my gratitude / send these facts unsolicited,
and am ready to verify the authenticity of
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it." CHARLES A. ROB

Wisconsin Fish.

The fish interests of Wisconsin, says
the State Journal, are of much more inn
portance than the general public, owing
to lack of information on the subject,
has heretofore believed. The legislature
in 1885, enacted law requiring the var
ious fish wardens of the state to render
their reports to the president of the state
fish commissioners. From these reports
for the year 1887, the following figures,
relating only to Lakes Michigan and
Superior. The number of pounds of
fish caught in those lakes during the
year was 1864 value, 1852, 1862 SO;
number of nets engaged in the work,
16, 702; value of the nets, $l5S, 678.63;
number of men employed, $50; number
of boats used, $50; value of the boats,
$115,673; value of docks, etc., $780,
S44. 65- total value of fishing property,
S43S, 700.
Supt. Nevins, of the state fish hatch
cry, believes that if the fishing inter-
ests of the Mississippi, Wisconsin, Rock
Fox and other rivers, as well as those of
the numerous inland lakes of the state,
were taken into consideration, the ag-
gregate value of the property involved
would reach at least S1,000,000, while
the value of all the fish caught would be
correspondingly increased.
