a PARABLE.

A certain man was hanged, that
he died. And he left two suns, hon
est men.
Now one of the sons was q black
smith. But the other became q
physician.
And after that their father had
been taken from them, these
brothers made their homes in other
lands
And the blacksmith would have
prospcred. But it befell that one
asked him how his father made
end. And the blacksmith, looking
angriIy upon him. answered.: "He
was hung" For the blacksmith
was an honest man.
Howbeit, presently, when horse
was missing, men gathered and
hanged the blacksmith, saying:
"1his must take after his father. y
So the blacksmith did take after his
father. but whether he caught up
with him the tale telleth not.
And at the same time, in his
own city, one inquired of the physi
clan by what means his father died.
And the physicians covered his face
and wept.
But whilst he wept he considered,
saying within himself: eff l say,
He was hanged then shall l shock
this man and give him pain; an ! it
is my Office to relieve pain. Never
theless. 1 must tell the truth"
He eaid, therefore: "My father
died of heart failure" And again
he wept,. the questioner weeping
with him:
Then. this being told, men said:
"Doubtless, since his father died of
heart failure this good physician
and loving son hath made study of
kindred diseases" So they resort
ed unto him.
And the physician became sPe
cialist.- And he looked at them
who came, and coughed once and
sneezed twice and demanded 500.
And they gave gladly. For the
physician was an honest man.

Eccentricities in Palaces

The King of Siam, who, according
to late reports, has had palace con-
structed which he can submerge in
the sea at will and so live under water
whenever he chooses, is not the only
monarch who has INDUCED in eccen-
tricitieS of this sort.
For instance. history has preserved
the memory of the ice palace built by
the Russian Empress Anne, who pun
ished several of her dainty courtiers
by compelling them to pass the night
in this great chamber of state. where
they were almost frozen to death.
The Gar Paul, ancestor of the pres
ent Emperor of Russia, constructed a
room formed entirely of huge mirrors.
where he spent hours walking to and
fro in full uniform--a singular taste
for the ugliest man in Russia.
One of the native princes of Java
cooled his palace by making stream
fail in cascade over the gateway;
and the Indian deSpot Tippo Sahib
placed beside his dinner table a life
size figure of tiger deyouring an En-
| gtish officer. the roar of the beast and
the Shrieks Of the victim being inli-
tated by hidden machinery. .-Htkper's

GOOD RUBIES SCARCE.

The growing demand for rubies of
large size has developed the fact that
there are comparatively few of them in
this country. A good Burmah stone
of the proper pigeon blood shade and
weighing about two karats brings a
much higher figure to-day than it did
ten years ago.
Dealers have accounted in various
ways for the scarcity of good speci
mems of of the Burmah ruby Some
have advanced the theory that the
natives still believe in an old tradition
that it will bring them back luck to
allow the rubies to be taken from the
country Others allege that all stones
weighing more than a karat are given
to the King, who is called the King
of rubies."
Although there are reasons for be-
lieving that this last allegation may
have been true a number of years ago
it is certainly not true now. Thebaw
has been deposed, and his crown jew
els, which were supposed to include
the finest specimens in the world. on
account of their inferior quality. The
rubies, ,emeralds, cats-eyes, and other
gems which were included in the col
lection were usually large, but of little
value.
The collection is now in the Indian
Museum at South kensington, where
it is exhibited in an ordinary glass
case. The fact that very little pre-
caution is taken for its safety seems
to indicate that it is not held in great
reverence by its present owners.
Shortly after the deposition of the
Thebaw, the Bnrmah Ruby Mines
company was organized with a large
capitalization. SO eager were capital
lists to purchase some of the stock, it is
reported, that almost riot took place
when the subscription books were first
opened.
The mines We're worked with very
little success. Fewer gems were
found than in the days of native labor
The company has never paid a divi-
dend, and the stock is quoted at about
one fifth of what it was a few weeks
after the organization.
Several dealers, principally abroad,
have introduced what they term a ''re-
constructed ruby" which they say is
made up of a large number of minute
PARTICLES of ruby. The so-called re-
constructed ruby is a composition of
rubies, sapphires, amethysts, and 9th
er stones. They are heated until they
reach point of fusion, when they
change their molecular construction,
lose in specific gravity, and become as
soft as glass on account of the de-
struction of the crystalline structure.
1t seems probable that if the condi
tions continue the same, each year
will mark an advance in the price of
rubies
One of the finest specimans of Bur
nah ruby in this country is owned by
Tiffany q Go. 1t is valued at $40, 900. |

near him announced the fact TO the
rest OF the huskers. He held the corn
IN his hand, as his eyes Travelled over
the country boys and girls around him.
When his eyes met Miss Testers 8
thought came to his mind that brought
mischievOus twinkle into them. He
finished his inspection and then arose.
Many girlish heart futtered, for he
was the beau ideal of almost all OF
! them. Miss Lester leaned back in her
chair and closed her eyes. How un.
utterably silly" she thought How
can he do it?"
She did not see him leave his place,
! pass behind the rest and approach her
| She heard nothing, saw nothing, till
/ she felt his arms around her, and,
| opening her eyes, found him bending
over her. Then. before she could pre-
vent it. he stopped and kissed her
She sprung to her feet, the hot blood
surging to her face.
How dare you!" she cried and ran
by him into the open air. The angry
tears rushed from her ewes. How
could he." she sobbed. How could
he do it! I'll never, never speak to

Just then she stumbled and would
have fallen had not somebody who had
followed her in her mad flight caught
her and placed her on a log that lay by
the path.

A long pause. She was just begin
ming to think that may be it was not so
bad after all.

less humbly.
Another pause She had about con-
cluded that she had been haSty and he
was not so much to blame. when Miss

know | love you. | know you dislike
me, and, very humblv, Il deserve it,
but won't you please forgive me?"
She glanced up at him shyly between
her parted fingers. He looked very
handsome and embarrassed standing
there gazing down at her, the. moon
light resting on his brown curls. Really
he was very nice.
Miss Lester" he said, again. Il
have told you that | love you. | do
not expect you to love me yet, but may
| not hope? Won't YOU give me one
word of encouragement"
Still she did not answer. Then sud-
denly something in the droop of her
whole figure gave him courage. He
knelt beside her.
Now. see here" he began, in
masterful way, 1--WE apologized for

question and you haven't answered.
I'll give you one minute to answer and
