The Birth of the Opal.

There is a beautiful little story told
about the opal, that delicate stone which
you have 10 doubt seen in rings and
bracelets. The story is that the opal
was long ago promised to anybody who
could discover it. 1t lay hidden away.
SO the old fortune tcllers used to say, at
the place where the sunlight and the
moonlight joined" each other, and who
ever could find that spot would be re-
warded by n quantity Of large, beautiful
opals. After a long search for the place
"where the sunlight and moonlight
joined" each other, the place was found
by II Spanish traveller, who followed up
the rays OF the setting sun, and when he
had reached the end of the last ray he
waited until the mOonbcams shOne upon
the earth, and there he found the opals.
They are said TO be very lucky stones
for those who are born in the fall Of the
year and very unlucky for those born in
the spring. Of course it il only Il say
ing that these are lucky or unlucky, but
the rest of the story IS true, as You will
believe if you look in the heart Of an
opal and see the pink tints Of the sun
and the blue rays of tn" moon nestlingin
the middle Of it.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

NO INCOME TAX.
The President Said to Hsye Given
tho Ways and Means Com
mittee q Pointer
That He Does Not Approve Making
1t a Part Of the Tariff
Bill.
If 1t Must He Brought Into Congress
1t Should Be as q Separate
Bill.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 27.- The Pioneer
Press Washington special says:
1t is rumored here that President
Cleveland has conveyed to the ways and
means committee in a quiet but none
the less emphatic manner his decided OBJ
lection to the income tax proposition in
any shape, and the further fact that it
will not meet with his approval. He is
particularly DESTROYS that the proposition
shall not be made a part of the tariff bill,
but that if the committee is bound to
report it, it be put in the form of a sep
arate bill, SO it may be considered and
disposed of as a separate issue. 1t is
hardly expected that the committee will
be able TO comply with the presidents
wishes. In the first place, a majority OF
the committee is committed to the income
tax as a matter of principle; and in the
second place the tax is needed to make
up the deficiency of the evenues which
is conceded will follow the passage OF
the tariff bill, with the sweeping reduc-
tons in duties which are proposed.
Western Democrats Favor 1t.
The Western Democratic members Of
congress who are in the city seem to re-
gard the income tax as a very clever
substitute for the indirect tax of the
tariff. Congressman Hall of Minnesota
expressed himself as heartily in favor of
it. He thinks perhaps it would be better
to have the minimum 5000 instead Of
$4,000, but is convinced that even at the
latter figure it will be very popular
throughout the West. His namesake,
Hall of Missouri, is a well known advo-
cate of the theory. Amos Cummings, Oh
the other hand, came over from New
York to inform the committee with en-
phasis that if the income tax idea is en-
acted into law it will defeat every Dem
ocratic candidate for congress in New
York state outside of the city and will
make two Of the strongest city districts
doubtful. If the Republican members
Of the committee oppose it solidly and
can get three Democrats to vote against
it when the bill is considered by the
whole committee, it will have to 90 to
the house as a minority proposition if II
gets there at all. Bourke Cochran and
Stevens Of Massachusetts are against il,
but it is not known where the thirG
Democrat is TO come from.
