Properties of stones.

Precious stones were formerly sup
posed to possess peculiar virtues, which,
apart from any other considerations,
rendered them more or less valuable
The reputed virtues of some were of a
most miraculous nature, and happy in
deed the fortunate possessors of these
gems ought to have been.
Although popularly supposed to be
itself deadly poison, the diamond has
from remote ages been credited with
the power of protecting the wearer
from the evil effects of other poisons, a
reputation which it retained until com
paratively recent times. According to
Pliny it also keeps off insanity. Am
Der, too, was supposed to possess the
latter virtue.
Besides the diamond, several other
stones were supposed to possess medic
inal virtues The ruby was considered
good for arrangements of the liver as
well as for bad eyes. The sapphire and
emerald were also credited with prop
critics which rendered them capable of
influencing ophthalmic disorders, and

pents are blinded by looking at the lat

The DisaPPointments of Young Mar

The Disappointments OF Young Man
whose whistle Was Unreliable.
Music stores down town are fow and

necessary to say that the one in which
occurred the incident here related Is
situated not very far from the city hall.
The young lady clerks were busy in
Che early morning arranging the stock,
when a young man entered whistling

he was somewhat nustered, and STAN

young ladies.
Certainly Certainly will whis

to blow directly in her face, he essayed
to whistle. He puckered his lips, but
alas, he could not give the melody.

OF course there were some laughing

gentleman rushed into the store, with
the perspiration trickling down his face,
and shouting, I've got It'll I've got i'll"

New Use for the EIectrio Lirht,

Some of the new conditions to which
the use OF the electric light gives rise
have grotesque phase. In town in
Connecticut a new industry has sprung
up. 1t appears that the strong light of
the arc lamps has the effect of attract
ing worms out of the earth. An ingen-
ious boy conceived the idea of turning
this peculiar phenomenon to account,
and scooping up the worms into bas-
ket nightly, he started trade with the
local fishermen for the bait which they
are always glad to get. The youngster
was in fair way to fortune when the
secret of his quiet little business was
discovered, and now groups of boys
with tin cans can be seen every night
at work under the electric lights In the
development of this new branch OF
commerce. New York Commercial Ad-

ANOTHER FINE CHURCH.
The Finely Decorated Interior Of the
First NJ. \. Church.


1t will hardly be ready to be
thrown open by Sunday, but when
IL is open the attendants will
hardly recognize their old house of
worship.
The badly stained and dirty walls
that sent a chill down your back
have entirely disappeared; pleasant
colofs aud a cheerful impression
predominate. About $1,000 will
have been spent on frescoing, glaz
ing and cleaning up when the work
is finished as it will be before an
other week rolls around. The brush
work was completed Thursday and
today the staging is being removed.
The finishing touch goes on the
walls Saturday.
THE ENSEMBLE.
AS you enter the front of the church
the entrance, halls and stairways
are done up ia solid color work of
light terra Gotta, to which the light
from the rosy windows gives quite a
rosy cast. The folding doors reveal
an interior where drawings are in
excellent harmony with the inter
secting gothic architecture of the
auditorium, the side walls of which
are finished In ashes of-roses with a
deep decoration of blue aud gold
oyer the wainscoting. The top of
the walls is trimmed in a deep bor-
der-a stile in stucco painting be-
tween the sides and ceiling pane s.
consisting of a central figure with
heads aud decorations growing out
Of seashell. The ceiling panels
show a blue-sky effect with light
cloud work as of incense rising be-
low. Immense holdings ending in
three beads are done in harmonious
shades of terra Gotta with gold deco
rations radiating from the caps.
The cbancel has dove descending
from the clouds. The soft grays
over the big gothic windows give
the ceiling work a very rich and dis
tinguished aspect. The lively warm
colors are clean and bright and yet
the whole general effect is cool and
churchy, and in excellent taste
The brush work and designing was
done by artists: Kreiss, Willmann,
and Wilson. Ed. Hutchins was the
staging builder.
