r1r"inen Entertain Their Neighbour.
Fire Engine Company No. 8 gave their neigh
bors on North Carolina avenue an oyster roast
last evening. The occasion WAS the fourth an
niversary Of the occupation Of their present
house. The upper rooms were filed with such
guests as had been invited bv card. The invi-
tations were nearly all accepted. only few
sending regrets. Just after the clock struck 7
the gong struck 254. for fire at 10th and T
streets, and the guests suddenly found them
selves without hosts, but as the fire was outside
Of No. SIS district and was not OF sufficient pro-
portions for general alarm the horses were
soon returned to their stalls and the hosts to
their guests. Foreman Lewis welcomed the
friends in brief address and was replied to by
Judge Kimball on behalf Of the citizens. An
enjoyable program OF songs and readings fol-
lowed. Tables bountifullv supplied with good
things were arranged on either side of the
room. The oysters were the feature OF the
collation. and were cooked and served up in fine
style by the firemen. The good feeling that
exists between this company and the people in
their vicinity was really the cause Of this and
other entertainments and it is not without its
beneficial results to all concerned.

A FRUIT DIET.
The Common Sense Rule in Matters Per-
tanning to the Stomach.


tanning to the Stomach
It is all very well to talk about put
ting people on a fruit diet, but this,
like most other ideas, is susceptible of
serious abuse. There are many persons
who can not eat fruit without causing
serious gastric irritation. Oranges DIS
agree with numbers of persons; straw
berries are poison to others One lady
finds it impossible to eat applesauce
without an attack of indigestion; 9th
ers find all juicy fruits disagreeing
with them; yet others can not eat fruit
that has small seeds. such as raspber-
ries or blackberries. Peaches distress
many people: lettuce has an unpleasant
effect in some instances; and others find
it almost out Of the question to make
meal of any form of fruit or vegeta bic
exclusively, without the keenest dis
tress.
1t may be said, of course, that this is
not right. ranting this to be true,
what is one going TO do about it? It is
better to use the utmost care in alb
staining from dishes that disagree, even
though to eat them would be strictly
hygienic. In this. as well as most of
the other things in life, there is nothing
quite so valua bic as good common
sense. After time, one may gradual
II grow into the use of such things;
but because rules Of health and the add
vocates of a fruit-and vegetable diet
approve OF these things one must not
imagine that wisdom dictates partak-
ing of food that disagrees with one

TIE pAPERiNG OF WALLS.
An Ancient Chinese Method OF Dccoras'

ing HOUSES
Wall ua,,ers were little used in Esti-
rope before the eighteenth century,
though they had been long before that
appIied to house decoration by the Chi
nese. Those that were first nanufac-
tured in the west were adaptations OF
design from Italian brocades. and OF
first they were used in an unobjection-
able manner, just as hangings of tn"
costlier material were employed,
namely: To fill spaces between obvious
structural lines; and. so applied, no OBJ
lection could be made TO their use. OS
the contrary, the invention brought 1t
within the means of almost every
householder TO fill blank wall spaces
with agreeable tracery and harmonious
color.
The cornicc, frieze and dado remained
intact: coigns were protected with
molding or plaster work, and the IN
mate might feel that he was living in u
built room and not in a bandbox- But
gradually the wall features disap-
peared: paper crept over everything ex-
cept window and door openings, even
into the very angles of the walls, and

THREE KINDS OF BEAUTIES.
Large and GIittering Gems That Have Be-
come Famous.

Large ana 4'c-
come Famous.
There are three kinds of rubies, the
oriental ruby. the spinel ruby and the
balas ruby. The first is the only true
one. The latter differ considerably in
comparison from the first. The true is
composed almost exclusively of alumni
Ia. In the latter are only seven-tenths
of alur1ina, the remainder being chiefly
magncsia The color, moreover, is due
partially TO the oxide of chromium, a
substance of which the genuine ruby
has not trace.
In commerce the balas ruby has much
inferior value to the spinel. This is
generally of vivid poppy-red color;
the balas IS of violet rose, although
Pegu has furnished white and white
violet spinels, and Sudermania even
bluish gray ones 1t can be seen at
once, therefore, how extremely err
roneous would be q classification of
gems by color or general appearance
alone. The primitive form of the
spinel ruby is like that of the
diamond, eight sided, which dis
tinguishes it at once from the
oriental stone. The color of the gen.
uine ruby is that of the arterlal blood,
or pigeons blood, as it is called. 1t is
extremely hard, and, after the sap
phire, is the hardest of the corundumS,
which renders it difficult to under
stand why the earth SO rarely gives it
up. It's tint is as beautiful by artificial
Light as by day, and its powers of re-
fraction SO great that ancient belief
credited it with power of emitting
light. The ancients even supposed
that it would shine through clothing
with undiminished power.
The lar gest ruby known is one men
toned by Chardin as having been en-
graved with the name of Sheik Sephy.
Another noble ruby is in possession of
the shah of Persia. It's weight is put
at 175 karats A third. belonging to
the king of Usapar, was cut into a
hemispherical form, and in 1853 was
bought for s13, $50. A ruby possessed
by Gustavus Adolrhus and presented
to the czarina at the time of his jour
ney TO st. Petersburg was the size of a
small hens egg.-Jeweler' Review.

VIGOROUS IN THEIR OLD AGE.
Women Who Accumulated Years with
Grace, Smiling in Times Face.

Women Who Accumulated Years with
Grace, Smiling in Times Face.
1t is an acknowledged fact that
great age is attained by women oftener
than by men. Tissot, with dou btful
gallantry. accounts for this by declar-
ing that the large amount of talking for
which women are famous is very
healthy exercise and promotes the cir
culation of the blood without over
exerting the organs. The true reason
proba bly, lies III the quieter and more
regular life usually led by women,
whose nervous systems and brains are
consequently not worn out so quickly,
as a rule of those of men.
One of the most famous of the female
centenarians was the countess of Des-
mOnd, who lived to be hundred and
forty-five, and died in the reign of
James |. from the effects of an acct
dent This wonderful woman found
herself at the age of a hundred so
lively and strong as to be able to take
part in a dance: and when she was
hundred she travelled all the way from
Bristol to London-no trifing journey
in those days-in order to attend per-
sonally to some business affairs.
Lady Desmond is, however, quite
thrown into the shade by n French
woman, Marie Prion, who died in St
Colombia, in June, 1S3S-it is said-at
the wonderful age of one hundred and
fifty-eight Towards the end of her
life she lived exclusively on goats milk
and cheese. Although her body was
so shrunk that she weighed only forty
six pounds, she retained all her mental
faculties to the last.
1t is an extraordinary but incontest-
able fact that some women at the age
when most people die undergo sort of
natural process of rejuvena tion-the
hair and teeth grow again. the wrin-
kles disappear from the skin, and sight
and hearing reacquire their former
sharpness. A Marquise de Mira beau
is an example of this rare and remark
able phenomenon; she died at the age
OF eighty-six, but few years before
her death she had become in appear
ance quite young again. The same
change happened TO nun OF the name
of Marguerite Verdur, who at the age
OF sixtv-twe lost her wrinkles. regained
her sight and grew several new teeth.
When she died. ten years later, her ap-
pearance was almost that Of a young
