Empress Eugenie Always Refused to Wear
Opals.

Empress Eugenie Always Refused to Wear
Opals.
The fancy for having ones birth
month stone introduced as mascot IN
all possible designs has led to some
quaint and pretty conceits in the way
of spoons. which have set in the han
dies in unique and effective fashion
the stones assigned by superstition to
the various months, says the Great
Divide. Thus January has the garnet
imbedded among fancifu1 tracery of
has the blood-stone, April the diamond,
May the emerald, June the agate,
July the ruby, August the sardonyx,
September the chrysolite, October the
opal, November the topaz and Decem-
ber the torquoise, while the pretty SUI
perstitions attached to the moonstone
make it favorite at all times. It is
said of famous actress that she never
appears upon the stage that some
where about her person is not to be
found one of these Indian gems
When the birthstone happens to be a
secondary gem it is put in a seal, and,
mounted with the monogram or crest
of the owner, exercises its occult infiu-
ence over the letters sent out from
my lady's boudoir.
1t is said that Queen Victoria has
tried to set at defiance the old supersti-
ton about the opal, and that she has
given many opals as presents, while of
the unfortunate Empress Eugene it is
written that she has always refused to
wear the stone. The old legend tells
a story of an opal belonging to a
Roman senator whi ch was coveted by
Marc Antony, yet rather than part
with it the records say that the sem
ator went into voluntary exile, prefer
ring to part with his country rather
than lose his gem. The modern preju-
dice against this beautiful stone seems
not to have prevailed among the an
clients, who believed that it strength
ened sight, made it's wearer lovable,
dissipated melancholy and paled at the
approach of poison.
That Sir Walter Scott shared the
prejudice of modern times against the
opal seems indicated in ''Anne of Geier-
STEIN" Anne's grandfather married a
lady, SO the tale reads, with a wonder
full opal. On the day of christening
their child the opal first glowed, then
paled and shortly after the wife and
husband both died.

The agitation against the employment
of juries is not new one, though the
arguments against it, by correspondent,
may contain many facts of interest to
those who have not given the subject
attention. He says: 81 have come to
the conclusion that trial by jury is not
far removed from lottery. I've heard
it said that marriage is lottery, but
when ten men are induced to yield to
the opposition of two men, or one per-
son will contend against the conviction
of eleven others in the jury room it
seems to me to be a clear case of OBJ
stinacy or surrender of conviction from
WEAKNESS or anxiety to be released from
a place which is not unlike prison.
Who would not, however, abandon ones
sense of justice to breathe fresh air,
which can only be obtained outside the
narrow walls of onr jury rooms. If there
be one thing more than another demand
ing reformation in connection with our
courts it is the absurd practice of en-
forcing agreement by twelve men by a
deprivation of ordinary comforts while
they are seeking to find a verdict. Per-
haps in time a majority of the jurors will
suffice to determine results"

Malvern Cressworth, an English min
ing man, claims to have discovered in
Mexico large and beautiful deserted
city, about so miles west of Lake Colo
RADIO, in a basin of the Sierra Madres,
ten miles long by eight miles wide.
High perpendicular cliffs surround the
basin. The only entrance is through
deep canyon thirty feet wide. Mr..
Creesworth says the buildings are of red
stone resembling granite. The business
blocks are two and three stories high
and different in design from the struc-
lures built by the Aztecs and Spaniards.
The streets are narrow and laid out in
regular order. In the city is a small
park which is overgrown with rare
flowers and tropical vegetation. Pro-
lessor Wilson ought to visit The place
and gather some idea of the future as
pect of many manufacturing towns in
the United States after the enactment
of his tariff bill.

Union is making a tremendous howl
against the injunction on their proposed
asylum, but the Union Pacific road ought
to make the most vigorous opposition,
for the fare will be about $40 for each
adult from Salem, and this will have to
be paid hundreds of times over. In fact
there is no end to the tremendous
amount of money which will yearly be
paid by the state to this corporation.

about them, they would secure the best
legal talent they could employ TO fight

GREAT ARSENIC EATERS.

Australian Women Sacrifice Health and
Hair on the Altar of Good Complexion.
The majority of the female beauties
of Sidney, according to an English OBJ
server, have peculiarly delicate com
plexions, languid expressions. fragile
physique and a die-away look in the
eyes, which are more suited to the en-
ervated temperament of an old civiliza-
ton than the active vitality of new
world. 1t was easy even for a novice
to detect that these ladies owed good
deal to their perruquier. The mystery
of this curious comF--ation of pre-
mature badness and unusual delicacy
of complexion was explained by the
fact that these women ate arsenic in
order to produce the ar1stocratic pal
lor and languor, and found to their
horror that another effect of the drug
was to make the hair drop out. Valu-
ing their complexion above their hair,
however, they sacrificed the one to the
other. What woman will endure for
her complexion may be estimated by
this and also by the fact that these
arsenic eaters rarely live past forty
five. There is no pleasure, moreover,
in the consumption of the poisonous
drug. The arsenic is made up into
dainty looking caramels, which fash
ionable danes will produce from pre-
clous little bonbonnieres and suck
quite openly, just as the American girl
chews gum or the English girl choco
late. The arsenic question, English
men say, was becoming quite burn
ing one in the antipodes. When a man
married young looking. lovely crea-
ture, adorned with luxurious ringlets,
he was disgusted to find after the cere-
mony that she was really a semibald,
prematurely enervated woman, who
was shortening her life to please her
own vanity and was incapable of full
filling the duties of Il mother to debili-
tated children which she brought into
the world. Moreover, the suffering
which she would go through in any at
tempt to overcome this pernicious habit
was quite enough to make her break
down, if. indeed, she could be per-
suaded to bear it at all

most extreme as fast as money can buy
the way. Cost to them is no object,
consequently there is no limit to their
excesses. A glass of wine is followed by
drunkenness. Gambling becomes frenzy.
And the glance of pretty woman
makes the roue. Finally when their
seven ages have passed, long before the
three score years and ten, they find it
necessary to use morphine to bring sleep
by night and whisky to keep awake by
day. They reach that condition where
life becomes burden and ennui en-
yeIops their existence.

A new description of hell, according
to certain dramatist, is simply an
abode wherein people have no feelings.
1t is as impossible to experience pleasure
as pain. There are no enjoyments, no
ambition, no passions and no desires.
The occupants could go to heaven but
they have no desire. The description
throws light upon one of the tendencies
of the age. Persons of wealth, who live
idly and who have tasted all the joys of
existence have not anything to expect.
Pleasure to them becomes a bore, for
they have seen it in every guise. They
are not content to sip slowly and then
taste thoroughly, but they 60 to the ut

HIS PET PHRASE.
It Was Good for All Occasions and Need
Accordingly.

In the Memoir of Henry Compton, -
published in London some years ago,
there is an amusing story which has ar
obvious lesson. Mr.. Watlington was
man from his birth of an even temper
and an easy disposition. He went
through life with the greatest :ndiffer-
ence as to its cares and its troubles.
One phrase he used on all occasions:
''It may be SO, but then again it may
not"
Or paying him n visit one day, says
the writer, asked him if he thought
it would be fine. Why replied he,

Cummings of New York denounced
vigorously the attempt made to arrest
him Thursday morning by the sergeant
alarms. He declared that he had been
present at the sessions of the house
daily, hours before and hours after the
sergeant-at-arms was there. He told
that official and his assistant to arrest
him at his peril, and stigmatized as un-
bridled tyranny the attempt to arrest
him on Washington birthday.
