TIE FAIRY STONE.
It Is Found In Virginia and Is Supposed
to Be Talisnlan.

It Is Found In Virginia and Is Supposed
to Be Talisman.
The Mother of Statesmen has pro-
auced a number of good things from
first to last-Ghivalrous men; fascinat-
ing, soft voiced women; fine horses
and the like, but that popular FAD
should originate with her is an alto
gether new departure. Everything must
have beginning, however, and who
knows, now that the fairy stone has found
such favor in the world of fashion,
what possibilities she may develop in
this direction? These queer bits of pet.
rified earth are indigenous to Patrick,
southern border county of Virginia,
cut off from Henry, and called, like the
latter, in honor of the statesman and
orator, Patrick Henry. They are not ex-
cavated for, but lie loose upon the sur.
face of the soil, and though restricted
to two or three parts Of the county ex-
ist in great mum bers and various sizes
Upon each stone a representation Of
the cross is distinctly though delicately
traced, and "a legend concerning them
states that band of fairies, dwelling
at Jerusalem during the life of our Saw
Jour and witnessing the awful scene on
Calvary, were so Mortified by it that
they fled to this remote region and
transformed themselves into these pet
rified emblems. The legend has given
rise to innumerable superstitions, and
from tine immemorial the stones have
been worn as amulets by those living in
the vicinity in which they are found.
The reputation was local, however,
until that era in Virginia's history
known as 1.-THE boom. Then her super
stitions and sacred traditions, along with
her other commodities, became objects
Of barter. Speculation fixed its calculat.
ing eye upon the fairy stone, and it was
taken from its native bed and expert.
mented with in order that it might be
rendered marketable. 1t was soon dis.
covered that no tedious process was NEG
essary for its development. A sharp in
strument passed along the outline
stamped upon its surface converted the
Jagged stone into a symmetrical cross
and a little polishing and plunge into
a bath Of boiling oil gave the requisite
smoothness and the rich mahogany color
one sees in the stone of commerce. A
tip of gold at the four extremities and a
ring to which a chain might be attached
gave the finishing touch to it, and when
thus simply mounted fairy stones sold
for 81 apiece.
The traditions concerning their Won
der working power are as inexhaustible
as the beds from which they are taken
and would furnish endless themes to
writers of fairy tales and folklore stories
They are supposed to ward off evil and
bring good luck to their possessors, but
in order to do this must be worn around
the neck and next to the person Phil.
