Ruby Mining in Burmah.

A large quantity of the worlds sup
ply Of rubies comes from the Burmah
mines, which have been actively work
ed since the annexation of Burmah by
the British government. The ruby dis
trict is about twenty-six miles long
and twelve broad, and lies at eleva-
ton varying from 1900 feet to 5000
feet above the sea level. Some of
the mines have been worked by the
natives from very remote periods: in
fact. old workings are found over an
area of sixty-six square miles. 1t is
in the lower clay beds Of the river al
luvia, and in similar deposits formed
in gullies in the hillwash, that the
rubies, spinels and other gems are
found. In the alluvia, square pits
from 2 feet to . feet across. Ingenious
~ timbered with bamboo, are sunk to
the ruby earth, which is drawn up
by bamboo baskets. In the hill-wash
long open trenches are carried from
the sides Of gully. Regular mines
are opened in some places, in others,
the limestone is quarried.

Not long ago he appeared in the

hand she carried an open note. She
walked up to the elderly gentleman.

A Cats Revenge.

Blossom is big, gray cat. She has
been in the family for seven years,
and her mistress thinks she was fully
ten when she came unlimited and
took possession. Her charms made
her welcome, and visitors, as a rule,
pet her to her hearts satisfaction.
Still. she shows her loyalty to her
mistress by many feline felicities.
One day a young man came for short
visit. He was an inveterate tease.
AS there was no one else for victim,
he aook Blossom in hand in spite of
pleadings and protestations. Her ears
were greeted with the strange terms,
"Old rascal" "Scapegrace," Tramp"
and kindred names, till the astounded
cat did not know what had come to
her. Her pretty ways disappeared,
she fled from his approach and hid
whenever she could till he was out Of
the house. One morning she was miss
ing for some hours, and was not to be
found in any of her hiding places.
A loud cry from the chambermaid re-
vealed her whereabouts. Blossom

way in and hide till the chamber
maid was through for the day, and
then the claws went to work, first
on the visitors own clothes If any

soothe her feelings, but she would
have none Of him, and he was glad
to cut his visit short. Blossom quick

believing that the encounter which had
commenced in the street was about to
be renewed and terminated In that
room.
But Darlington threw himself into a
chair and said impatiently:
May I venture. Doctor Forester, to
ask Of you the motive which urged you
to that unceremonious attack which"
You cannot need to ask me that, sir,
unless I nave been mistaken IN believ-
ing that you are Mr.. Noel Darlington"
And because l happen to bear that
name you imagine yourself Justified In
attempting to throttle me on the open
street,"
"You are an infamous villain!" cried
Forester.
You are a mailman" replied Bar
rinston, whom spare only for the
sake Of one whose already too greatly
suffering heart l would not Willingly
add pang."
This allusion to Emmeline, coming
whence it did, completed the frenzy of
her lover, and he was perfectly beside
himself with rage. He rushed toward
Darlington, his arm uplifted to strike,
but ere it could descend, 1t was seized
and held in vice-like grip, while Noel
exclaimed, with great effort controlling
his increasing anger:
Tempt me not too tar, Doctor For
roster; I have already borne more
from you than 1 could have endured
from any other living man."
Forester thrust his face close to
that of his supposed rival and Kissed
forth:
"Une or the other Of Us must cease to
exist. for Ic ammo: longer breathe the
air of heaven and know that You are
living too!"
III tomorrow YOU still think thus
said Noel. you will find me at your
service
And then proceeded to unlock the
| door, against which Forester FASTENED
to place his back that it might not be
opened.
You shall net leave me-" Forester
exclaimed. Il will not quit your side
till you have given me the satisfaction
that l demand"
And then. in answer to an agry impa-
tient gesture from Noel:
ooh. yes. know that I am keeping
you from her; that she, Enmeline,'
and he writhed and his face was dis
torted with the agony he felt as he pro-
nounccd our heroines name, lis wait
ing for you; but you see her not again
SO long as life remains to me"
II could easily be rid Of you," said
Noel; with one word to the officers
now in waiting could place you where
for some hours at least you would
cease to be i trouble to any but your
self. but you shall come with me-
Il have said would not leave You, "
roared Forester.
You need lesson. and 1 will give
it to you" pursued Darlington, "and
heaven grant that the delay which you
have forced upon me may have
wrought no harm to the por girl from
whose side your madness has so long
withheld me and Of whose love you
have proved yourself by your vile sus-
picions, so utterly unworthy"

when Young He Dewildcred Older
Diplomats by His New Ideas.
Perhaps the chief trait of his genius
Is to be found In his entire freedom
from the preconcelved notions, and
in the limpidness of his mind, which
refused to submit to accepted faifa-
cies This tendency in early age earn
ed for him, of the dull pedantry and
prim Philistines around him, the So
briuuct of "rolle Bismarck"-the mad
Bismarck; but later OH it resulted In
the complete demolition of the old
system Of diplomacy. For equivocl-
ton and downright falsehood lis pow
erful intellect substituted kind OF
outrageous franEness, which bewild-
cred and outwittel his adversaries.
Nothing. however, marks his strong
personality more wildly than the iu-
tense hatre.ls aud blind devotiOns
with which he has surrounded him
SELF the power to rely upon himself
and to look at things in the face,
while his keen sense Of humor enab-
led him to see clearly the vast array
of sham and pompous pretenses of
public and private life. Never had
madness more method than is shown
by the originality Of this strange be-
ing, half Mephistopheles, half dragon,

their heads mercilessly and continual

which covered diplomatic pretense
and mendacity was torn aside the in
slant that Prince Bismarck got
grip of political realities, and his first
appearance among the dignified ex-
cellencies of the German Diet consti-
tuted a veritable revolution.
The incidents of his early relations
with these empty-headed "importants
sans Importance" offer perhaps the
most racy of the many anecdotes re-
lated-in Prince Bismarck's own
words in many CASSIDY his Boswell,
his faithful secretary, DR.. Moritz
Busch. His first encounter, at Frank
fort was with his hostler, who, like
all the good burghers Of the Free City
at that time, was intensely antf-Prus-
sian. The old hotel where he put up,
as Prussian delegate to the Diet, was
not provided with a complete system
of bells. and Bismarck asked for a
hand bell, at least, wherein it'll to COM

grut1ly told there was none to spare
and that he must shift for himself
Early next morning the losd' report
of pistol set all the guests in panic

want, who explained that, as no bell
was forthcoming his master had sum-
moned him by pistol shot. Five min

The Worst that Could BefaIl.

The following is story of an Incl
dent that actually took place at the
marine barracks at the Charlestown
Navy yard:
A soldier was one morning brought
before the commanding officer charg-
ed with the otfense of telling lie to
one of the officers. After the major
had heard the evidence he said to the
culprit: do you know what will be-
come of you if you tell lies to your Of
ficers?'
The soldier quickly replied: eyes,
sir; shall go to hell.'
'Worse than that, sir; worse than
that" said the commanding o1ucer.
"You will be tried by naval court
martial."-Boston Globe.

A bashful young man Of Tittin while
attending revival meetings was ap-
preached by an earnest young woman,
who said to him:

The young fellow hesitatingly re-
piled that he appreciated the honor,
but, as he was already engaged to two
girls, he could not accommodate her.
