THE FAIRY STONE.
II Is Found In virginia and Is Supposed
t,

II Is Found In Virginia and Is Supposed
to BE a Talisman.
The Mother Of Statesmen" has pro.
duced number Of good things from
first to last-chivalrou men; fasoinat-
ing, soft voiced women; fine horses
and the like, but that a 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,
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-
list in great mum bers and various sizes.
Upon each stone representation Of
the cross is distinctly though delioately
traced, and u legend concerning them
states that q 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 fed to this remote region and
transformed themselves into these pet
rified emblems. The legend has given
rise to innumerable superstitions, and
from time 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 "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 nee.
essary for its development. A sharp in
strument passed along the outline
stamped upon its surface converted the
| Jagged stone into symmetrical cross
and little polishing and plunge into
. bath Of boiling oil gave the requisite
smoothness and the rich mahogany color
one se.,s in the stone of commerce. A
tip Of gold at the four extremities and a
ring tVwhich 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.

THERE is a brand new trust in
the arena. A consolidation of cor

all of the devices for electric heat

for action against a man who may

lightning stroke.

BASED ON ERROR.


This policy should suggest to the
United States the desirability of with
drawing the reciprocity treaty, which it
might fairly do. and SO giving the sugar
planters, who are the principal legisla.
tors, dose of their own medicine. The
effect of such prohibitive duties would
shut out California wines from the Ha-
waiian market entirely, and interfere
seriously with the importation of the
other commodities.
The above is paragraph from a
lengthy editorial in the Seattle paper
Of March 20. Marked copies have
been received by a number of
Honolulu business men. The Prs
declaration of war upon the recipro-
city treaty is based upon extracts
from a local paper and this very
newSy statement.
Nevertheless the Hawaiian Govern
ment is preparing to discriminate against
Californian wines and American beer
by the imposition of a restrictive duty in
addition to the license fee for retailing
of 81 900 year. A bill has been intro
duced into the Legislature doubling the
duty on beer of 10 cents a gallon, and
making it 30 cents; from 40 cents per
dozen quarts to so cents. and from 20
cents per dozen pints to 40 cents. Wines
under 81 degrees will be raised from Is
cents per gallon to 80 cents.
The local paper extracts, to which
no one here pays the least attention,
are attributed by the p. !. to a
journal said to be "owned by one
of the members of the Dole admin
stration." Of course this is entirely
incorrect. The mistake perhaps
arises from the soft-soaping course
with which certain opposition
papers are at times favored by in
individuals OF the Government.
The P.-/. when it made the bad
mistake of telling of proposed OIL
pending tariff legislation had no,
heard of the disclaimer on thi.
subject made in the Senate by the
Cabinet. This was an announce
ment contradicting positively rum
ors which the P.-L gives as fact
Sentiment here was and is over
whelmingly with the Cabinet in thi
matter. The proposal to increas
duties was rejected as being I'm
timely, impolitic, unjust, dangerou
and absurd.
An apology is in order from tn
P.-L 1t is paper usually fai
and correct and will no doubt hastei
to tell that it was misinformed anc
was in error. Nothing should bt
permitted to transpire which will
mar the pleasant and perhaps profit
able relations that are growing III
between Seattle and Hawaii. He
trade with this country is consider
able and unless there is extraordin
airy cause for a detection should in
crease.
Friends of Hawaii in Seattle anc
elsewhere are again warned that {
contingent in this city is industri
ously scheming against the recipro
city treaty, being impelled by in
sane prejudice against the govern
meut as it now exists. TIL;
contingent is aided by the ''bac
breaks" of certain men connected

It is often difficult task to remove
soft solder from gold jewelry requiring
to be repaired. Scraping and subser
quent treatment with acid are commonly
used, but are often dangerous to some ar
ticles. A hitherto secret method of treat.
ment employed at large establishment
in London is as follows: To 8 ounces Of
nuriatio acid add an ounce Of orocus
and shake we'll. To an ounce Of this
mixture add 4 ounces of hot water,
place in an earthen dish and keep up
the heat by means Of gas fame. Upon
introducing the soft soldered article into
the solution the result is said to be all
that could be wished.

Blank or unrhymed is that form Of
heroic verse which is commonly en-
ployed in English dramatic and epic
poetry. It was introduced by the Earl
Of Surrey, who died in 1547, in his
translation of the second and fourth
books of "Eneid." 1t was first en-
ployed in the drama in Sackville and
Norton's tragedy Of "Ferrex and Por.
rex" which was printed in 1865, but
it was not till Marlowe adopted 1t in
his play of "Tamburlaine the Great"
that it became the form regularly en-
ployed in the metrical drama, which it
has since, with only occasional inter
walls, remained. After Millions use Of
it in Paradise Lost" it was widely ex-
tended to many other Glasses of compo-
sition. Brooklyn Eagle
