happy events OF their lives.
THE CHILDREN HAPPY.
Shortly after lunch Mr.. Schubert an
nounced that the hour had arrived for the
children to get ready for the races. In a
short time streams of little ones came from
all directions. Some from the hilltops,
others from the fying-hOrs and the yari-
Gus places of pleasure, and in a short time
the director Of children's games had his
hands full segregating the youngsters into
equal bands of competitors. They entered
bTavely into the races, and each one did his
best to come in first 1t did not make bit
of difference who came in first or last; every
little one who entered the contest got a
prize for his or her eudeavor, and the
younger he was the more valuable the gift.
This is one of the reasons why the club
festivals are so popular with the little
ones.
IN THE SHOOTING-STAND.
The shooting stand presented a scene of
busy animation. Narksmen were either
hurrylng hither and thlther or standing
calmly and peacefully in line waiting for
their turn TO come 10 get a chance 10 put q

and action. Marksmen were loading shells
preparatory to firing; others were examin-
ing their powder and bullets to see IL they
had enough for the days requirement; still
others, who were dissatisfied with the arm
they had been using and desired change,
were carefully examining the extra gun they
had brought along and were busy adjusting
the sights and getting everything in readiness
for a renewal OF the contest. On the other
hand, many marksmen were observed TO be

woRsHIPED AN EMERALD.
A Huge Stone to Which Peruvians
Paid Religious Devotion.
Fron the london Queen.


From the London Queen,
In the dark house, in which were kept the
sacred treasures and the consecrated tapers
Of Votan, were numerous clay and stone
vases, studded with emerslds and precious
stones; but, though seen more than once by
Nunez de la Vega, they have now finally
disappeared. Many believe that they are
still in existence, II only they could be
found. Some cay that the Peruvians wor-
shipped huge emerald, as big as an ostrich's
egg, and offered to 1t as tribute Of praise and
alteration other emeralds Of smaller size-as
children given to their parents or vassals
delivered up TO their lord. Cortez got from
the Golden Castle five emeralds OF priceless
value. The first was cut IN the form OF a
rose with its leaves; the second was a kind
Of toy or ''chsrm," a hunting horn; the
third was a fish with golden eyes; the
fourth was a bell, Of which the clapper was
q large pear shaped pearl; the fifth was a
cup set on golden foot, trimmed with gold
and bearing four golden chains fastened to
pearl, by which il might be worn as
jewel on the breast. This piece alone was
valued at 10000 ducats-whether gold or
silver the chronicle does not say. Other
emeralds fell into the hands OF these ruth
less robbers and murderous conquer
ors, one being Of the size of a
pigeons egg. There was also q wonderful
emerald extant In those days, with
white corners, while all the rest OF the stone
was OF its proper velvety dark green hue.
This stone was used as an illustrative proof
that emeralds were born white, but ripened
into the right color In the mine-time
working one Of its usual miracles on the
crystal. Indeed beryl, that pale green stone,
exactly like the emerald in all essentials
save color, has often been called the mother
of emerald. Aqua marine is a beryI-in
other words an unripe emerald, not yet
matured into the proper tint; Of this tho
commoner varieties are by no means rare.
Yet it is to be doubted whether these IN
ripe stones would ever mature into the true
and lawful lustrous emerald.
The Israelites also respected the emerald
as a stone OF ecclesiastical harmonies, and
we all know the passage 10 the Revelation
OF "a rainbow round about the throne, In
sight like unto the emerald, b" and how the
fourth foundation of the wall round the
heavenly Jerusalem was an emerald. In
Ezekiel it is said: Syria was thy merchant
by reason of the multitude of the wares Of
thy making; they occupied in thy fairs
with emeralds, purple and broidered work
and fine linen, and coral and agate" and
the high priest wore an emerald ring on the
first finger of his right hand, all the same
