The ruby is valued highest when il

ruby that history speaks of belonged to
Elizabeth of Austria. the wife of Charles

The virtues attributed TO rubies are to
Danish sadness. to repress luxury and to
drive away annoying thoughts. AT the
same time it syrnbolizes cruelty, anger

Rats Aboard ocean Ships

Many persons who have recently crossed
the Atlantic in the Servs are bitterly com
planning to tho New York Herald OF the
great number and terrible audacity OF the
rats which infest that ship.
This is common complaint on board
most of the Atlantic liners. Generally
neither apology nor excuse il made for
the existence Of these horrible pests. out
when anything OF all Is said in an expiana-
tory way by ships officers. it is that the
rats come aooard when the ships are lying
at their docks in New York and Liverpool
and that 10 clear out one lot OF them Is
only TO make room for another.
To certain limited extent this is true;
but by the proper use of traps the rats
could be very much thinned out on every
voyage before the ship was two days at
sea. while those not caught could be made
to keep down IN the hold, and not IN
wade the staterooms and scurry over the
faces of passengers as they lie IN their
berths.
To say that there is no way to keep
droyes of rats out OF passengers state
rooms is 70 admit that the ship-ofhcers do
not consider It TO be matter worthy of
their attention. II is III keeping with that
policy winch is persistently pursued by
some lines of considering the comfort OF
passengers Of no consequence to the ships
commander.

Bad Advice.

"As 70 sudden, radical. or revolutionary

IN which the new Congress finds itself when II
comes together. and az the Post has already
suggested, the sooner IL gets together and takes
up the consideration Of this question tbs better

What Caused lip

Mr.. WHrrrLAw REID says that Socialism
and Socialists in embryo caused his defeat.
The New York Dramatic Ne,cs says that in
that city at least 10000 of the Democratic
majority against Mr.. REID was due to the
labors of Typographical Union No.6. and
the swinging of Chicago into line with the
Democrats is believed to have been occa-
stoned largely by the solid vote of 25,OOC
trades-unionists against Mr.. REID. We do
not know how true these two statements
are, but we do know that the votes are
counted in this country by millions, and
that the people-farmers, planters, me-
chanics. professional men, or what not
rallied to the support of Mr.. CLEVELAND.
1t was not sectional victory, nor one to
be claimed by any man or set of men. One
thing everybody voted against-namely,
the force bill.
