Every body knows that something is the
matter with the morning paper. and
perhaps Jerusalem Gustavus Perse-

case. And speaking OF the Journal /
am reminded OF something funny. Some
months ago the chubby little protoge OF

nobody must mention The COURIER
in any way in the Journals columns.
The order OF the chubby little man has
been religiously obeyed. FIR a couple
Of months or more there has been no
mention Of this paper in the Journal.
Perhaps the chubby little man fails to
see the funny side OF all this. Perhaps
he doesn't realize the implied fiattery
in his policy. The COURIER rather
enjoys the distinction the chubby
little man gives il. There are many
good things. even virtue itself, that are
ignored by the Journal. and it lie come

THE ELOPERS.
They Do Not Fear the Conse-
 QuenceS of Their Deed.

Mike Campbell and Mary Calkins, the youthful couple who so uncere moniously left their parents homes about three weeks ago at Walnut Grove to go through life together, were taken to Prescott Sunday night by Deputy Sheriff Gibson.
 They do not seem to feel at all alarmed over the possible consequence of their rash act but report having en- loved existence in Mesa and were calculating to cross the country to Florence but their capture spoiled that part of the program.
 Miss Calkins, despite her youthful age, is bright lass and is not at all frightened over the coming interview with her stern papa, who had been chasing over the country with double barrelled cannon loaded with buck shot which he was aching to introduce into the hide of the burly youth who stole his daughter.
 They are both of the opinion that paterfamilias will thaw out and give his paternal blessing at their marriage

THE FAIRY STONE.
Found in Virginia-Supposed to Be Tal-
 isman Against Evil.

Found in Virginia-Supposed to Be Tal-
 isman Against Evil.
 The Mother of Statesmen" has pro- duced a number of good things from first to last-chivalrous men, fascinat- ing, soft-voiced women, fine horses and the like. but that popular fad should originate with her is an altogether new departure, says the Philadelphia Times Everything must have a 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 petrifed earth are in- digenous 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 excavated for, but lie loose upon the surface of the earth, and, though restricted to two or three parts of the county, exist in great numbers and various sizes.
 Upon each stone a representation of the cross is distinctly though delicately traced, and legend concerning them states that band of fairies, dwelling at Jerusalem during the life of our Saviour, and witnessing the awful scene on Calvary, were so mortified by it that they fled to this remote region and transformed themselves into these petrifed emblems. This legend has given rise to innumerable superstitions, and from time immemorial the stones have been worn as amuiets 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 the ''boom" Then her su- perstitions and sacred traditions, along with her other commodities, became ob- jects of barter. Speculation fixed it's calculating eye upon the fairy stone and it was taken from it's native bed and experimented with in order that it might be rendered marketable.
 JIt was soon discovered that no tedious process was necessary for it's develop ment. A sharp instrument passing along the outline stamped upon it's sur face converted the jagged stone into a symmetrical cross, and little polishing and plunge into 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 ring to which chain might be attached gave the finishing touch to it, and when thus simply mounted fairy stones sold for dollar apiece.
 The traditions concerning their won derful working power are as inexhaus- tible 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 possessor, but in order to do this must be worn around the neck and next to the person.

TWO EXQUISITE feathers.
One from the Elephant, the Other from
the Water Snake.

One from the Elephant, the Other from
the Water Snake.
Two new exquisite sorts Of leather
have recently appeared. Both are
studies in color and both are costly in
. the extreme, yet they are wholly I'M
like. One, elephant hide. is undyed-
only tanned-and it takes a most
beautiful brown tone. It is peculiar,
being decidedly and irregularly rough,
yet as soft as the finest calf. The
other skin, which is that of the water
snake, is, on the contrary, as thin and
smooth as satin. 1t shows markings
in gray and white that are tender, and
If one can forget his snakeship, most
bewitching.
AS yet neither of the skins has been
seen at any but the most select shops,
and it is probable that the cost will
keep them both select for long time
to come. The lowest price quoted for
an elephant card case is fifteen dollars,
and that means one of the very plain
est make. A simple snake skin purse
is marked twenty-five dollars and
thirty-eight dollars does not purchase
any great elaboration, only gold
finish and clasp. Whether this high
rate is due to difficulty in the process

suit is the same.
The new feathers are valuable addi-
tions to the leather supply beyond
doubt. Whether or not they will ever
become popular-that is, whether or
not the supply will ever sufficiently in
crease-is question impossible to an
swer at the present time.-Montreal
