upon this subject and not all Of them

lief either. Of course women arc the
tirmest believers In the superstition at
tached to this stone, and that sex Nv.
ures In nearly oil the cases that have
come under my observation. A lady
will come into my place. produce ring
or pin containing an opal and ask me
what I win give her In exchange for 1t.
I examine 1t carefully tell her what 1t
Is worth, and allow her to select any.
thing Of equal value from my stock.
After the exchange Is made the woman
will give a sigh Of relief, and I prepare
myself to hear her tale of woe. Every
thing has gone wrong with her since
the fatal hour when that breeder Of
misfortune came into her possession.
Even the most trifing misfortunes are
charged to the opal. Sometimes, how
ever. the story IL quite the other way.
About 81! months ago a middle aged
lady Of marked intelligence and refine.
ment brought me perfect gem Of I'M
opal set In a pin, and desired to ex-
change 1t for q diamond pin. She said
the opal had been presented to her by
her father as birthday gift, and she
hated to part with 1t, but her husband
and daughter had worried 80 much over
the fatality they were sure would hap
pen II she retained 1t that she had final
ly concluded to yield to their fears and
get rid Of the stone. She selected u
diamond pin in exchange for the opal
and went away. About week ago she
came back again, recalled the transac.
ton to my mind, and anxiously inquir-
ed II / still had the opal. I told her
that it had been sold. Her disappoint-
ment was great. and she kept my at
tentlon for nearly half an hour, telling
me about the things that had happened
to her since She parted with her opal
pin: Her Prince Charles spaniel had
died; one OF her handsOmest vases had
been unaccountably broken into thou.
sand pieces; the moths had made sad
ravages among her ftlrs; her bank stock
had ceased to bring her any returns in
the form Of dividends: q trusted maid
had gone of without the Formally Of
saying good-by, taking with her some Of
her mistress choicest jewels, and many
other dire things had occurred, all of
which she was sure were due to the
fact that she had parted with the opal.
She made me promise to look up the
purchaser Of her pin. and said that she
would pay double its value to regain
possession Of 1t. So 1t seems that the
superstition about the opal is capable Of
being worked in either way, according
to the fancy Of the owner.

The hat pin which protls dozens Of
holes into felt qpd straw has seen it,
day. The inventor has turned his at
tentlon to the matter and the result is
a fixture which guides the direction Of
the pin and at the same time fastcns
1t 80 securely TINT no sudden breeze
can dlslocate 1t. The pins are made
With small, almost imperccotible
groove near the base, over which a lit
tie plate Of silver or steel fastcns. This
sheath Is fastened on after the pin Is
stuck through one side Of the hut and
thus acts as q sort Of lock- The pin
cannot come out until the plate Is re-
moved and IL the pin is stuck through
at the proper angle in the first place
there Is no necessity for Its frequent re-
moval. In this way the ruin Of the hut
by pin pricks is prevented. Gold sill

made with this improuement-New

Sailing Vessel. stlll Make Money.

That there is still profit in sailing
crafts is shown by the fact that the
Dover Navigation Company, a New
Hampshire company owning several
threc-mast schooners. at its annual
meeting recently held, declared divi-
dends averaging II per cent on four Of
its largest vessels. These dividends
represented years earnings and on
the earnings Of one of its schooncrs,

seven years old, has already netted

suppre..ins Polish national Spirit.

Great indignation is felt among the
sculptors and art dealers Of Warsaw
over a recent rescript of the police of
that city. The guardians of the peace
in obedience to orders from st. Peters
burg, visited all the stores and studios
and destroyed all the busts OF tho Pol,
ish heroes, Thaddaeus Koscluszko and
Josef Powniatowski, which they could
find. All sculptors in the city are oblig-
the city officials promising not to make
busts or statues Of the two men in the
future. This is one way Russia has
adopted Of trying to suppress the Pol
ish national spirit. It Is not probable,
however, that 1t will accomplish Its pus
pose.-New York Tribune.

Novel Though not pretty.

When a desire for novelty takes a
firm hold Of any woman her taste and
Judgment take flight, says the New
York World. Here is novelty-a
French one. and one worn by Paris
ian actress. The bodice is of gray
broadcloth. closely braided with gold
cord. 1t is tight fitting and is trimmed
In front by wide revcrs and in the back
by a big graceiess sailor collar. The
fronts of the sleeves are of the braided
material and the back of the plain. But
it is in the skirt that ugliness reaches
its climax. A piece Of the braided cloth
is fitted closely about the hips, curving
from depth of twenty inches in front
to ten in the back. 1t clings tightly to
the figure and fastens in the back with
two large buttons, and from 1t falls a
deep rutile of the plain cloth which
forms the rest Of the skirt.
