They Come from India and Are Never
Sold by Weight.
The word precious can not be APP
piled to moonstones," said well-known
dealer in jewelry, because their
marketable value is relatively small at
all times, and is still further Influenced
by the DEGREES of fashion. For some
years past we have had but few calls for
m0onstones, but about twelve months
agosthey were restored to popular favor,
and will probably continue to be much
used for some time to come. The stones
come from India, are easily procured,
and there is but little waste in cutting.
They are almost invariably of BLUSH
white tint, the rays Of the most perfect
stones much resembling moonlight
(hence the name), those of a less clear
or yellowish hue being Of but little
value. When carved, the clear trans
parency of the stone is of course marred,
but many of them are SO embellished,
the man in the moon being favorite
device, and baby's face surrounded
with a cap of pearls or diamonds
another"
The moonstone is seldom worn alone
by fashionable people, having usually
an accompanying setting of diamonds or
other precious stones. In response to
question the ssdealer added: 1.-THE
largest moonstone have ever seen was
one OF oblong shape about one and three
quarters inches in length and three
quarters of an inch in width. This was
set to represent butterfly with partial
ly closed wings of brilliantly-colored
stones, and was intended. to be worn as
a pendant. These stones are not valued
by weight as others are, but simply BY
appearance and size, a perfectly round
stone being more desirable than fat
ter one and more rare
AS the moonstone is additionally
lucky it is most suitable for souvenirs,
parting and anniversary gifts, and from
present indications will be much used
for favors and wedding presents during
the coming gay season.-N. Y. Sun.

Tho Cruiser San Francisco.

A rather curious illustration OF the
superstitious belief in signs and omens
is just seen=in the opposition to the
name given the new cruiser launched
the other day at the San Francisco navy
yard. In honor of that city it had been
decided to call the ship San Francisco,
but no sooner was the name announced
than the Navy Department began to get
letters by the bushel, declaring thatft7
was an omen Of bad luck, and the vessel
thus named would inevitably go to the
bottom with all on board. The source
of this superstition nobody appears to
know. There are no records Of naval
disasters on which 1t might have been
based. Whatever it was founded on,
it had no influence with Secretary Tracy,
who threw the letters into the waste
basket, and telegraphed the officials at
Mares Island to stick to the name San
Francisco The cutter is now afioat UNI

Amusing and Characteristic.

"A friend who has just returned from
Paris tells me an amusing and charac-
teristic anecdote. During the recent ex-
position there was little railroad, five
miles in length, running around the
grounds The tracks ran in and out
among the trees and buildings, and so
near them that passengers head or
arm thrust out of the window was in
danger of being knocked off. To pre-
vent accidents Of this sort warnings
were printed on large posters and tackled
up at intervals of few yards along the
entire track. They were printed in al.
most every known language, including
Asiatic and African tongues, shorthand
and volapuk. My friend counted over
thirty languages and dialects. Yor
would have supposed that none war
omitted in such list. But there waa
one omission, and very important one,
Not single word OF warning was print
ed In German! Some one said to this
manager Of the road: st looks to me as
though you didn't care whether the Ger
mans got their heads and arms knocked
off or not" He smiled a quiet smile and
replied: at does look that way, surn
enough. Critic.

MoHAMMEDAN POWER.
The Establishment and Extension OF Arab
Dominion in Africa.

Dominion In Africa.
But the problem of Arab dominion is
not on the coast at all, but in the, in
terror of Africa. On the coast the Eu-
ropean States can make their influence
felt, but 1T extends no further than a
narrow strip of land, beyond which bar
barism reigns supreme. And here we
arrive at one of the most remarkable
phenomena the age in which we live
and the planet we inhabit. The abo-
riginal inhabitants of Central Africa are
savages. sunk in heathenism, afflicted
by the evils and the weaknesses of
savage life, and perhaps inferior in
mental and physical vigor to the strong
er races on mankind. Over them has
passed, like a tempest from the east, a
horde of men of another and stronger
race, which marks them out for slavery
and destruction. The Arab invasion of
Africa is characterized in every part
to which Europeans have penetrated by
desperate valor in arms, by an utter in
difference to human life, and, above all,
by an enthusiastic and fanatical belief
in the faith Of Islam. They remind
us Of those ardent followers of the
prophet who, in the first ages
of Mohammedanism; bore his blood
stained standard and his intoferant
creed from Spain to the confines
of China, and well-nigh overthrow the
faith and civilization of the ancient
world. Indeed. If we are not
mistaken, they are the same men
the living inberitors Of the pas
sions. the valor and the faith of
the soldiers Of Mohammed. Before the
strength of the Christian States they are
now compelled reluctantly to bow; but
over the unarmed and untutored native
races of Africa they are supreme. Ac-
cordingly, what we are now witnessing
in Africa, since it has been partially
opened to our view, is an amazing rec
rudescence and fermentation OF Mo
hammedan power. On the Congo it Is
not the native population, but the blood.

FACTS ABOUT RINGS.
A History Of the Use Of This Well Knows
Ornament.

A History OF the Use Of This Well KNOWN
Ornament.
The practice of wearing finger-rings
has been almost universal from an early
period in the worlds history. There is
q tradition which ascribes their inyen-
tion to Tubal Cain. and the old Latin
author who gives currency to the story,
speaking of the wedding eirclet, says:
.sThe form of the ring being circular
that is to say, round and without end
imparteth this much, that mutual love
and hearty affection should round1y flow
from one to the other, as in the circle,
and that continually and forever" The
first authentic reference to fnger-rings
occurs in the Old Testament, where
Genesis xviii mention is made OF
Judah's signet=ring. That they were
also in use among the Egyptians at that
time is evident from the forty-first
chapter of Genesis, where we read of
Pharaoh taking off his own ring and
putting it upon Joseph's hand, when he
made him ruler over all the land of
Egypt
The hands of female mummies, found
In the tombs of Egypt, are profusely
covered with rings; the wealthy ladies
of that country wearing costly ones
upon nearly every finger, while their
poorer sisters had to content themselves
with circlesof bronze, glass or pottery.
The ancient Chaldeans, the Persians,
and, according to Herodotus, the Baby
lonians wore rings; and it is probable
that from Asia they were introduced
into Greece. In the later Greek legends
the ancient heroes are spoken of as
wearing them, and at more recent date
every freeman throughout Greece seems
to have had one.
The earlier rings appear to have been
used not SO much for ornament as for
the practical purpose Of affixing seals;
but later on they became merely orna
mental, and were set with precious
stones. Fhe Romans, who are believed
to have derived the custom from the
Sabines, wore signet-rings of iron-as
was the case with the LacedBmonians
and every freeman had the right to
wear one.
Ambassadors in the early years OF the
republic used to we.r gold rings as part
of their official dress; this jus annuli
aurei being afterwards extended to
Chief Magistrates, Senators and, later on,
to equities. Emperors were won't to con-
fer this right on those whom they wished
to favers and the privilege became grad
ually more and more extensive, until in
the time of Justinian all Roman citi-
zens could avail themselves of it.
The later Romans used to wear many
rings upon their fingers, some even hay
ing different ones for summer and win
ter, while the height of ''dandyism"
was reached by those who never wore
the same ring twice, but threw 1t away
when once it had done serxice.-Notes
and Queries.
