GOOD RUBIEs
Are Growing Scarce and of In creased
Value.
For sale by all Druggist


Value.
The growing demand for rubies
of large size has developed the fact
that there are comparatively few
of them in this coun try. A good
Burmah stone of the proper pigeon
blood shade and weighing about
two karats brings a much higher
figure today than it did ten years
ago. Dealers have accounted in
various ways for the scarcity of
good specimens Of the Burmah
ruby. Some have advanced the
theory that the natives still be-
lieve in an old tradition that it
will bring them bad luck to allow
the rubies to be taken from the
country. Others allege that all
stones weighing more than karat
are given to the King, who is called
"King of Rubies."
Although there are reasons for
believing that this last allegation
may have been true a number of
years ago, it is certainly not true
now. King Thebaw has been
deposed and his crown Jewels
which were supposed to include
the finest specimens in the world,
were found to be practically un.
marketable on account of their in
ferior quality. The rubies, emer.
aids, cats-eyes and other gems
which were included in the cOllec-
ton were unusually lare, but OF
little value.
The collection is now in the In
dian museum at South Kensington,
where 1T is exhibited in an ordi-
nary glass case. The fact that very
little precaution Is taken for it's
safety seems to indicate that it is
not held in great reverence by its
present owners.
Shortly after tho deposition of
Thebaw, the Burmah Ruby Mines
company was organized, with a
large capitalization. So eager were
capitalists to purchase some of the
stock, it is reported that almost a
riot took place when the subscrip-
ton books were first opened.
The mines were worked up with
very little success. Fewer gems
were found than in tho days of ma
tive labor. The company has never
paid dividend, and the stock is
quoted at about one fifth Of what it
was few weeks after the organiza.
ton.
Several dealers, principally
abroad, have introduced what they
term reconstructed ruby which
they say is made up Of large
number of minute particles ofruby
The so-called reconstructed ruby is
composition Of rubies, sapphires
amethysts and other stones. They
are heated until they reach a point
OF fusion, when they change their
molecular construction, lose in spe.
cific gravity, and become as soft as
glass on account Of the destruction
OF the crystalline structure.
1t seems probable that If the con
ditions continue the same, eacf
year will mark an advance in the
price of the rubies.
One of the finest specimens Of
Burmah ruby in this country il
owned by a New York firm. It il
valued at $4,000.

Mo Q than two years ago my eyes began to
fail me. l Immediately applied to eminent
oculists for relief; for eighteen months they
treated me without particle benefit. Finally
about three months ago, went totally blind,

myself and family, had restored my sight. 1t

THE MOTHER,

God could not be everywhere; therefore
he made mothers.-Jewish Proverb
A man never knows all his mother has
been to him until it is too late to let her
know that he sees it.-Howells
1t is the general rule that all superior
men inherit the elements of their superiori-
ty from their mothers
The future of society is in the hands Of
the mothers. If the world was lost through
a woman, she alone can save it.-Dr. Beau
fort
Even he who died for us upon the cross
in the last hour in the unutterable agony
of death was mindful of his mother, as if to
teach us that this holy love should be our
last worldly thought-the last point of
earth from which the soul should take its
flight for heaven.-Longfellow.
The loss of mother is always severely
felt Even though her health may inca
pacitate her from taking any active part in
the care of her family. still she is sweet
rallying point, around which affection and
obedience and a thousand tender endeavors
TO please concentrate. and dreary is the
blank when such point is withdrawn

1t takes about four generations of riches

When woman admits that a man is a

Every woman has an idea that it ought
to be pleasure for a man to work for

Some peoples idea of being polite is to do

"pROUD TEARER DOWN
And Setter Up" of Counties IS Edi-
tor Byington.

Ellington, the Walnut Grove sstear-
er down and setter up of kings"
enunciator of protection, advocate Of
free silver, and tearer down and setter
up of counties, in his last,and perhaps
his best issue, tells how several new
counties should be formed in this Sec
ton OF the state. Walnut grove is
not even limited at as the imaginary
county seat for one of his imaginary
counties. He says:
The Redwood GAZETTE copies with
out comment what we said about
county seat interests holding terri
tory without regard to the rights or
interests of the territory held. This
is question of much importance, and
is not confined to single locality, but
is wide spread over the state. In
glancing over the map of Minnesota
the irregularity of shape of the coun-
ties will appear. This in connection
with the location of the county seats
gives rise to much Inconvenience and
injustice. This cannot all be righted
but the evils can be mitigated.
The forming of new counties from
three, four or more counties,u under the
present general law requiring ma
jority vote of each county in interest
is very difficult undertaking, and
probably the effort to organize the
new county of Birch Coolie will be a
failure. In that event Redwood
should politely invite few townships
over the river to unite themselves to
Redwood county. The county seat
needs a little more territory on the
north and the residents in these towns
would be much benefited by such an
arrangement. Renville county should
draw in it's boundaries and locate it's
county seat near its geographical CEN
ter, and Sibley likewise. Two or
three towns in Nicollet should 20 to
Brown county, and the change on the
western boundary Of Redwood county
should be made.

q find Of good asbestos might be ex-
pected at any time.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
Friday night to burn the Interstate
elevator at this place. The fire was
incendiary. A bottle of kerosene was
poured over papers in the Office and
spilled on the floor. But for the hard
work of two business men the east part
of the town would have been in ashes.
During the year 1893 no births and
deaths were reported to the Kintire
town clerk; and inasmuch as there
were quite number of births, and a
penalty of from SIS to 500 against
heads of families not reporting the
same, interested parties should not
fail to report this year within ten days
after the occurrence. This not only
applies to Kintire, but every town in
the county.

The Man In the Moon.


According to Pratorius, the man in
the moon is the Patriarch Isaac, carry.
ing the bundle of sticks which were to
be lighted to sacrifice his own body on
the mountain top. Dante believes him
to be Cain, carrying bundle Of thorns,
the meanest offering his lands afforded,
as present to God. In Iceland the peo-
pie claim that they can see the face of
Adam in the moon and that of Eve in
the sun. Among the .Frieburgers there
is superstition which says that the
MARKS and spots on the moons face are
the outlines of the traitor, Judas Iscar-
lot, holding his hand over his face while
sneezing just prior to hanging himself.
This last belief accords with the old
Frankish legend, which says that there
was no spot on Luna's bright face until
after the time of the crucifxion of
Christ. Still another story tells us that
in the time of the creation God threw
an offending angel against the face Of
the moon, while another is to the effect
that the moon witnessed the creation of
Adam and Eve and took an impress of
their features on his surface, intending
to people his own land with similar be-
ings. When he essayed to initiate God
works, he made nothing but shiny SER
pent, which since that day has contin-
ued to fold and unfold its mighty coils
in full view Of the descendants Of the
God created beings Louis Repub-
lie.
