About Opals.

The prejudice against opals appears
20 be disappearing. Anyhow they are
popular. There are several varieties
of opal and therefore several degrees
of merit. The precious, or noble, or
oriental opal is the supreme. This has
all the colors, and when these colors
nre broken into spangles it is then
called the harlequin opal. Then comes
the fire opal or girasol, with hyacinth
red and yellow rehcction-the former
comes from Hungary, the latter from
Mexico. The common, or scmi-opals,
are non-opalescent. The hydrophane,
or oculus mundi, is non-transparent,
but becomes SO by immersion in water
Or any transparent fluid. The cacha-
long is nearly opaque and of blush
white color. The hyalitc is colorless,
pellucid and whice. The opal jasper
or wood opal is the pctrifaction of
wood, opalcscent, but without the
coloring which makes the noble" gem
70 precious.

Some idea of tho Magnitude of the Task

Some idea of tho Magnitude of the Task
England Has to Perform.
One of the great wonders of the mod
lern world is the supremacy which Great
Britain has acquired over the people
of India, who are second in numbers
only to the population of China, and
far outnumbcr any other nation in the
world Not only are they held in sub
lection by Il comparative handful of
British troops, but they contribute Il
native army for the maintenance of
British power in India. This wonder
full state OF things is due, not merely
to British military courage and skill,
but largely also to the wisdom and
executive ability of the officials charged
with the administration of civil affairs
in the country. Rome in her best DAYS
never showed more audacity and skill
English methoIs in law and govern
ment have wo1 the confidence of the
people To Il remarkable degree Some
idea of the magnitude of the task
which England has in the management
OF her magnificent possession may be
obtained from the figures given by the
census taken in 1891, which presents
some very interesting and significant
facts.
1t appears from this enumeration
that Britain's Indian empire comprises
100000 square miles, and in 1901 had
q population of PSF, 100000. The males
exceed the females by O,0O0 In ten
years the inhabitants increased "a, OOO,-
600. Contrary to the condition of
things among the western nations the
town population is only 9% per cent.
of the whole. The ancient Brahmanic
religious belief still counts 211 ,OOO, 900
adhercnts The Buddhists number
100000. The followers of Moham-
med count up 57,OOO,OOO The ancient
pagan or native worshipcrs number
100000, and there arc 10000 who fol-
low the faith of Zoroastcr. The Chris
tians number $3.50, 600. The people of
India are not long-livcd. OF this i'm
mense multitude only $4,000. 900 reach
the age of 90. The illiteratc comprise
274,000,O00 of the population.
One cause of the success of the Brit
ish in governing India is found in the
fact that us different languages or di-
alccts are spoken, though some of
them are doubtless very similar. The
differences of race, religion and
language render Il combination against
The English rulers almost impractic-
able, in view of their judicous policy.

BKE FRS AT WAR.
Conflict Between English and

Conflict Between English and
Home Capital at ST. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 5.-The beer war
begun yesterday by the English syndi-
cate known as the st, Louis Brewing
association is increasing i'll animosity.
The principal grievance is the fact, as
alleged by the association, that men
they bought out some time ago have
violated pledges TO not go into the bust
ness again. The Anheuser-Busch and
Lemp breweries. which are the only old
breweries not in the syndicate, are
meeting the cuts and will stay in the
battle to the END. An allegation which
is attracting some attention is that it is
fight by English against home CAPT
tai. The hope is, it is said, to drive the
American breweries out of existence.
Already the workingmen of the asSocia-
ton breweries are alarmed, and meet
ing is to be held during the present
week for the purpose, if possible, OF
preventing Sudden Topping off in
wages to meet the loss entailed by the
radical cut in the price of beer.
