Interesting Data About the Magical Star
 Stone of Ceylon.

Interesting Data About the Magical Star
 Stone of Ceylon.
 Familiar to somo of tho ancient writers and credited with supernatural powers, f tho Astoria, or star gem, was highly val ued for tho benefits supposed to be confer red on tho wearer. Its bright, six rayed star, ever changing and shifting with every play of light and especially shooting ont it's flames in the direct sunlight, would seem to be something moro than on ordi- nary crystal, and to the superstitious mind it could readily be believed to embody somo tutclar spirit The particular virtue attributed to this gem was the conferring upon the wearer "health and good for tune" when worn as an amulet, and to those fortunate to be born in the month of April, with which that stone was asso- oiated or represented, tho wearcr was in sured from all evil. Tho star stone is found principally in Ceylon, invariably in soil peculiar to rubies and sapphircs. Indeed it is composed of the same copsti- tuont "corundum," its chatoyant or star rays, being caused by tho presence of what the natives call "silk" It is found in many different colors, from pale blue, pink and white to deep dark blue, ruby and purple. Tho blue arc termed "sap- phiro stars, the red "ruby stars" It is always cuten cabuchon, the star dividing into six rays at the apex. It is next in hardness to the diamond.
 Tho "Moorman" of Colombo, with tools as rude and simple as his forefathors used 1000 years before, with no training or instruction except the unwritten mys- tories of the craft handed down from fla ther to son, will produce the most wonder full results in cutting and polishing gems and in many instances rival the moro edu- catod lapidary of Europe for judgment in cutting gems to the greatest advantage. -T onf1o-,

fourth congress without the formal ity of a caucus. If it could be done simply by counting Q quorum and de- claring Reed elected, it should be" Representative Il. Henry Powers, of Vermont, tersely phrased 1t: ''I am for the 'czar' for speaker of the next house. There is no other man to conjure with" II take 1t for granted" said the Idaho representative in congress, Edgar Wilson, that Mir. Reed will be the unanimous choice of the party for speaker of the next congress"
 It Is the happily worded opinion of Mir. J. Hampton Hoge, who has en- tered contest for the seat claimed by Peter J. Otey, of the Sixth Virginia district, that 'Thomas B. Reed will have no trouble in finding a quorum present in the Fifty-fourth congress. !"
 In answer to the written question: "What will be the personnel of the next house organization?" Hon. J. A. Scranton, editor of the Republican, Scranton, Pa., who began his Wash ington life as member of the Forty seventh congress, epigrammatically de- clared: 1T am for Reed for speaker"
 asked Hon. c. N. Clark, of the First Missouri district: Are you willing to tell me your choice for speaker of the Fifty-fourth congress?" s"No," he an- swered; ''and yet, if this question were asked in the house of representatives, all eyes would probably turn to one man" Among the many who have de- clared their hearty approval of the in tention to choose MT. Reed speaker are Representatives Kirkpatrick, of Kan sas; Foster B. Brown, of Tennessee; Aldrich, of Illinois; Milliken, of Maine; Griffin, of Wisconsin; Reeves, of nli- nois; Grosvenor, of Ohio; Hnwley, of Indiana; Spalding, of Michigan; Huff, of Pennsylvania; Updegraff, of Iowa; Coleon, of Kentucky; Eddy, of Mime sota; Hemenway, of Indiana, and Stewart, of New Jersey.
 The election of Julius Cesar Bur rows, of Michigan, to the senate com plicates the contest for the leadership of the floor of the house. By very many Mir. Burrows was believed to rank next to Mir. Reed in point of ability, and if he had not been elected short-term senator he undoubtedly would have been chairmen of the committee of ways and means, which post entities its possessor to the leadership on the floor of the house. Three members follow closely after Mr. Burrows in

A JOLLY SORT OF FARM. lla.,'
Vegetables Growing at One Hand, the Prod ucts of the Sea at the Other.


 D ucts of the Sea at the Other. "Once some years ago." said Superin- f tondent H. T. Woodman of the oity's aquarium at Castle Garden, II went up s the west coast of Florida in sailboat on a collecting tour for shells and so on. On i the north shore of Tampa bay we saw a little white house-very white indeed 1t was-a whiteness as we afterward learn ed that was due to whitewash made of lime from shells that the owner had burn ed himself Wo went ashore there and were most hospitably received and invited to stay. Wo couldn't do that, but we were in the neighborhood for day or two, and we ate two or three meals at his house, and subsequently called upon him once or twice and was received in the same hospitable manner.
 "No doubt thero arc other gardens like {. his, but his is tho only one of the sort ever saw-a kind of land and water gar den combined. His land garden, which was about half an acre or so, was 50 or perhaps 100 feet back from the shore He had in this garden cabbapes and beans and potatoes and lettuce and garden stuff generally. His water garden was com posed of three patches, each about 50 feet square, side by side and under water, close to tho shore and each inclosed in Q palmetto crib, which was, however, only ono log high, for that was all that was needed. He could go out in skiff at any time and catch anything that there was in any of the cribs.
 Tn tho first patch of the water garden he kept hard clans, and he had plenty of them. Tho second patch he had fixed up for oysters. He had thrown in shells for the oysters to spawn on, and ho had an abundant supply of oysters. The third crib he had fixed up for crustacea.. Ho had thrown in some old stumps hero and showed in under tho crib some slabs or blanks that had driftcd ashore to make a shelter for crawfsh, which likc to back in under things, as tho lobster does. He had In this crib craw1ish and crabs. Of course these could easily have crawled over tho single log of tho crib if they had wanted to, but they didn't want to. They pre- ferred tho shelters in this crib to tho sandy beaches outside. In fact, the crib was an attraction to any stray crawfish or crab that might come that way. You SOC, he had only to step out of his house on one side for his vegetables and on tho other for his sea food. He gayo us oysters steamed in big iron pot over 0 fro in the yard and tho pick of both his gardens, land and marine, and certainly wo couldn't hayo had anything frcsher or moro delight full.

Payne, of the Twenty y-eighth New York, and David e. Henderson, of the Third Iowa dis trict. One of these gentlemen will be chosen to succeed MT. Reed on the floor of the house.
 One day over our lunch in the con- gressional restaurant I listened to Con gresham Rays interesting description of tbe leaders of the minority, their na- ttres and their methods.
 It was at the end of the long and bit tef tsriff debate, and the senatorial click was already preparing to force It's Compromise upon the house. 'f do not know any men," said Mir. Ray, who began his public experience with the Forty-eighth congress, "who pos sess more entirely the esteefn, affec- tion and confidence of their colleagaes than Thomas B. Reed and Representa- tive Burrows. No leader sipce the be- ginning of the republic has had 3 knowledge of parliamentary law or a comprehension of public affairs more nearly coihplete than Mir. Reed. RQth he and Mr. Bur rows are Strict disciplinarians. They grasp ipthitively the import of a bill, and guide their forces with such tact that jealousy has no ledgment in the minds of their followers, some of whom, perhsps, are their peers ip many re- specfs. They are quick to take advan- tage of any opening which their opp9, nshts may make for them, and they let slip no opportunity which comes to make stronger thsif hold Upon leglsls- tive actiof.

REED FOR SPEAKER.
Republicans Again Turning for
 Leadership to the "Czar."
To Head the New House-A Forecast of the Organization Of tho Fifty-Fourth Congress-The Latter Day Man
 from Maine.
1coPYRrGHr. 1895. ]


 Thomas Brackett Reed will be the central figure and potent influence of the Fifty-fourth congress. In predic- tions as to the organization of the new house whenever it be called together no name but Nr. Reeds has been men toned in connection with the speaker ship. No one, with the exception of Martin N. Johnson, the representative of North Dakota, has made any com ment adverse to the consummation of MT. Reeds supposed ambition again to preside over the deliberations of a re- publican congress-; and nothing in MT. Johnson's published remarks would lead one to infer that there will be any contest over the spcakership. Once again the order of authority is to be re- versed and two old antagonists, the latter day man from Maine and the Georgia statesman, will confront each other.
 For the leader of the minority, not only by virtue of his present office, but because of his ability as tactician and parliamentarian, will be the then ex- speaker, Charles F. Crisp.
 McMillin, Culberson, Pendleton, Nc Laurin, Bartlett, Livingston and Nc Rae are the only ones of the old guard left to rally around him in his fight against the republican leader. Coch- ran, Bland, Bynum and Bryane went down with the wreck on November last, but William L. Wilson, the tariff reform leader of the expiring congress, so it is semi-authoritatively stated, will reappear after the convention of the congress in some important position, to which he will be appointed by Presi- dent Cleveland, in recognition of his many services.
 A conspicuous personality, even when to a certain extent overshadowed by the giant figure of Blaine, the brilliant abilities of this leader of the remark able delegation from the Pine Tree state have never been shown in stronger light than during his guidance of the
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-02-19

republican minority through the dan lgcrs of the tariff fight, which ended in August of last year. Between Crisp and Wilson and MT. Reed and his lieu tenants; it was battle of giants, and the result was to not inconsiderable extent tribute to Reeds parliamen- tary genius.
 Mir. Reed Is personality not easily understood. His wit masks the wis dom of the man. And for this reason one at times reads his remarks as one would read the work of some great hu- morist.
 "Mr. Reed is witty man; is he wise one?" is the question sometimes asked when MT. Reeds future is the subject of speculative conversation. The Maine mans tour of the country during the last campaign did much to wipe out this erroneous impression of him, and the public generally has at last come to acknowledge that he has 0 valid claim to greatness. Asa parlia- mentarian few men are his peers. In this respect Speaker Crisp may be said hardly to be his equal, and only the tOoofBidus uuuucuiuS octcrluludtlOu and iron will have brought him out of his fights with the northerner safe and at times the victor. In debate, MT. Reed seems to be master Of all word weapons. He handles with 'tons1m- mate skill the broad sword of oration as well as the foil of running debate. Crisp is essentially fighter of the heavier order, and, like Richard with twoedged sword which smites in twain an iron bar as though it'were of wood, he fairly hews his way, at times, to successful issue. Each of these leaders, is held equally in admiration and es- teem by his party followers.
 , Almost to man the republican members of the Fifty-fourth congress will support MT. Reed for speaker. "The return of Mir. Reed to the speakership goes without saying" said Bodtelle; and Mir. Hooker, of New York said: T sm Tor Reed for speaker without any zanG| ixysffou xhstevsr. Renroen

SALABLE TURKEYS.
The OId-Fashioned GobbIeg Gives Place 70
Medium-SIzed Bird.

The OId-FashIoned GobbIer Gives Place 70
Medium-SIzed Bird.
All commission merchants agree that
it is the medium-sized turkeys that sell
the most readily and are the most
profitable. The birds should dress
eight, ten or twelve pounds, according
to the proportion of toms and hens,
they say. and should look plump and
clean. These birds are the first Sc
lected, and the others go of more
slowly. AZ over fourteen pounds re-
duction in the price is demanded, while
birds at eighteen or twenty pounds are
almost unstable at greatly reduced
rates
OF course there is some demand for
large turkeys for hotels and boarding
houses, but the private family viii
have none of them, for two excellent
reasons: First, the oven in the average
city house is too small 10 accommodate
such lordly bird, and, secondly, the
size of the family not being in proper
ton, its members would rebel at the
turkeys too frequent appearance at
meals. 1t would be well for the tur-
key raiser 10 keep both these points in
view and regulate the size OF his birds
accordingly. He will save in feed and
get better returns for his flock. The
day of the enormous gobbler is past
