Superstitions Connected with Such Gems

Superstitions Connected with Such Gems
Have No Foundation.
1.-THE superstition which causes peo-
pie to regard opals with awe as the
cause of i'll luck and even DEATH" said
jeweler, according to the Washington
Post, the other day. lis due to peculiar
observation made years ago. Opals
We're considerably in use in Venice dur
ing the plague, and it was noticed there
in the hospitals that before death the
stone would somewhat brighten upon
the victims finger. 1t never seemed to
occur to the people that the illness
could produce glow of color. They
took 1t for granted that the stone occa-
stoned the illness. As matter of fact,
opals are affected by heat, even by that
of the hand, and the fever, being at
its height just before death, caused the
colors to shine with unwonted clear
ness. This confirmed the superstition,
and to this day there are sane and able
bodied people who believe that chip of
the stone in the house can cause calami-
ties. Probably another reason for the
distrust excited in opals is the fact that
they change and lose their color. That
Is due to the softness and porousness of
the material and its capacity both for
absorbing water and of parting with
what it has, one of which tends to
make it dull and the other chalsy and
Opaque. They have been known to be
carefully cut and laid away, and upon
opening the paper had crumbled into
dust within few weeks. A species of
opal known as the hydrophane, found
in small quantities lately in Colorado,
has wonderful powers of absorption. In
its usual state it is of yellowish, waxy
tint, but when water is dropped upon
it the tint passes slowly away, and
from being translucent it becomes
transparent On exposure to the air
the water evaporates in an hour, leav-
ing the stone as it was before"

The Constitutional conuantion

COLUMBIA, S. O., Nov. S.-The
dispensary law for the first time
was made an issue in the debate
in the constitutional convention
yesterday on the opposition to give
the state the same right to change
the venue as is accorded defend
ant. This was introduced solely to
secure dispensary convictions
which it was found impossible to
do in cities like Charleston or Col
umbia. The convention by a vote
OIL to 81 refused to adopt that
provision, but by vote of ~ to SO
it gave the legislature permission
to allow the state to ask change
in cases to be prescribed by it,
which means that it will be al

The recent republican sweep is
victory enough without Growing
over it. 1t is wiser to sit down
and ponder the situation in a spirit
OF wise retiectiveness and under
stand the lessons that may be
derived from it. Looking over the
events Of the past few years and
noting how party has succeeded
party in rapid succession, and that
the hold on power has been very
precariOus on both sides,the admo-
milton comes to all sensible repub-
licans "be not highminded, but
fear" 1t was only a very short
time ago that the republicans
thought themselves securely seat
ed in the national chair for un.
numbered years, but the reaction
came and they were spilled out
without decent apology for the
spill. History has a penchant for
repeating itself, as the democrats
have found to their cost.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER S,F1S95

Now is the supreme opportunity
of the republican party, and it re-
mains to be seen in how far they
have.the wisdom to avail them
selves Of it. 1t is the voice of the
people that has been heard and not
that of the politicians, neither was
it the voice of the, imonied powers
that called the turn on the demo-
cratic mismanagers Of the nations
affairs. Will the party thus called
to power have the wisdom to recog-
nize its master, the people? This
is the problem OF the future. The
government Of the people, for the
people, by the people, was
the dream of the greatest of
all the republicans, living or
dead. That dream has not as
yet been realized in the admins
tration OF affairs, nor has it found
such expression in legislative &C.
ton in congress as to warrant any
honest man in declaring that Lin,
coins idea had been met by the
party that he had consecrated to
this service with his blood. 1t is
by the light Of past failures that
the republicans Of the present are
to show their wisdom.

Cuba Will Have No Autonomy

"tEey will have to offer better con-

make. In the first place we do
not believe Spain wants to give
Cuba autonomy. She only wants
to deceive us, as in 1868. We want
absolute independence and to make
an absolute free republic out of
Cuba. We would not even accept
such conditions as those governing

ATE SWANS AND HERoNS.

In the sixth year OF the trou OIous
reign of King Edward ". the arch
bishop of York gave huge feast, the
menu of which has been preserved,
says the London Queen.
Among the dishes there were put on
the tables two hundred and sixty-four
cranes, two hundred and four bitterns
and four hundred heronshaws. How
many cranes and bitterns could be col
lected now from the whole of these
islands?
But why should we not extend our
present limited range of edible crea-
lures and include at least some of those
which our ancestors loved? Crane, Bit
tern, heron, swan and peacock; all
these are birds which used to be pre-
scented at dinners.
Why should we not at least try the
three which remain to use? Swans are
as easy to keep as ducks; peacocks
might, suppose, be multiplied; there
are still plenty of heron.
l believe that at st. Johns college,
Cambridge, they do still serve up roast
cygnet, for the college possesses swans.
Why should we not have cygnet in
season just like roast duck?
And think of the lordly peacock pre-
sented with all his feathers and his
tail outspread; they killed him, skinned
him, roasted him, and then tied him
again in his skin with his feathers ar
ranged. And then they set that dainty
dish before the king. After that they
carved him-but believe you did not
carve peacock-you displayed him.
