The Stone of tic Hour.

A precious stone which ct the pres.
ent time is very valuable, because it
is the stone of the hour, is the peri
dot, or "evening emerald" 1t is a
lovely stone, with its exquisite shades
of transparent green, the best sugges-
tion of whose hue is the effect pro-
duced by looking at the light through
delicate leaf. Jewellers say that the
peridot is species Of divine, OF the
same class as the beryl, aqua-marine
and the topaz, and that it is in fact
the ancient "topszion, otherwise
known as chrysolite. 1t is found in
Egypt, Ceylon and Brazil, good crys-
tails being exceeding rare. Of the
various shades of green olive, leaf,
pistachio or leek, the clear leaf green
is the most admired. OF all these
precious stones the peridot is the most
difficult to polish. The final touch is
given on copper wheel moistened
with sulphuric acid, q process which
requires the greatest care, for if
dipped into the acid the stone has the
popularity of becoming soluble.
Sometimes it is cut in rose form, or
like carbuncle, but it is better and
more valuable when worked in small
steps, as the brilliance is thus in
creased. Owing to the quality OF soft
ness the peridot has been considered
of little value, but now that it is the
fashion fabulous prices are charged
for the stone. New Orleans Picayune.

How a Mandarin Travels.

Zoom-crash-zooml sounded O
mighty gong. Then again, crash
zoom! "What on earth is that?" The
boy Ananias made answer: "That be-
long China mandalin-look-see" We
looked-saw, aud 10! there camo along
an enormous boat, with piano polish
all over it-long, wide, low, with q
great cabin in the middle, and roof
over each end. In front was the gong,
that sounded like the crack of doom,
and some sailors lounging near it. In
the middle, behind the plate.glass
framed with carved and gilded arabes-
querie, was his excellency q Governor,
mustachioed, with many women. They
were his wife, his mother, his number
two wife, and tleir maids; the ladies
in their best-exquisite as to their be-
jewelled hair, their complexions of
thick white powder, and their silks
and satins. Next came the kitchen
shed, with cook and o woman among
the pots and pans, while over the stern
and far away foated big red banner
hung on sort of fshing-rod. Crash
-zoom-zoom! went the mandarin,
eurving grandly among the smaller fry,
with dignity and statellness we
finite folk know not how to produce.
except it be where men bowl along on
elephants backs, or sway in palan-
quins, or glide in. such barges as this.

Not Hunting Heiresses.

A story comes from New York State
to the effect that Greenville Louis j.
Templeton, a member of the British
Parliament, who was making tour of
America, visited Binghampton several
weeks ago, and while at the postofice,
to have money order cashed, he met
Miss Estella Vessel, the clerk, and it
was case of love at first sight. He
sought o friend and secured an intro
duction. His visits to the Government
building were frequent. His atteu-
tions were rewarded, and they were
married last week. Then the coupls
sailed for Europe, and, after short
tour of the Continent, they will re-
side on Mr.. Templeton's estate, at
Broadlahds, England. Of course, he
has an estate. The wedding was q
quiet one and caused much surprise.
Now the Postmaster is overrun with
applications from romantic maidens
looking longingly for Mrs. Temple
toms position. The Englishman, in
this case, was not after money; but he
did rot object to the pretty postoflice
girl who had the stamps. New Or

There came twitter Of startled Bird

Your eyes are talking, I see them saying
Dear little girl, love you So"
Then she nestled down to her restful sleeping
Laying pink palm meath her cheek
With childish trust in the watchful keeping
OF the love that needed not to speak.
The birds sang on and their praises swelling
Bore up prayer on their melody;
And the peace that passeth human telling
Fell on my little child ard me.
