BAB YLONI AN JEWELS.
Remarkable Gems Described by a Four
tcenth Century Writer.

A very curious description of Babylon
found in a manuscript Of the fourteenth
century was published in 1882. "A
city" says the author, rich in the
gifts of the ages, safe from disease and
distress. where all faces are joyous, and
where the three holy rivers flow over
costly stones, some of which dispense a
beautiful light, and others give health
and strength. There is the emerald,
brighter than mirror; the Jasper,
which preserves from poison; the gar
net, which casts out demons and de-
strOys serpents: the diamond, which
can only be affected by the blood of
kids; the topaz, which gives its own
color to all it approaches; the coral,
which wards off the thunderbOlt; the
hyacinth, of the color of the day, that
cures all diseases; the margarita,
formed of deWs; in word, every pre-
clOus stone that possesses miraculous
virtue" How these exquisite speci-
mems of natures handiwork came into
existence is a question difficult to an
swer. We know of what they are COM
posed, but, if we except the pearl, we
know nothing of the process by which
they arrived at perfection; this is
problem which must be left to future
generations to solve.
1t has been proved that the materials
Of which precious stones are made are
Of the commonest and most plentiful,
"and yet" says an old writer, I'VE think
the very heavens concurred with the
earth to their 'commiXion,' and so the
sun left part of his light shining ID
them" The diamond, which is so daz-
zingly bright and so pure, is in reality
nothing more or less than pure carbon
the ruby and the sapphire are COM
posed almost entirely of clay; the emer-
aid of sand or silica, while the pearl Is
formed of carbonate of lime. This would
strike us as most wonderful if we dlc
not remember that out of the dust OF
the ground God made man, whose
beauty and value are far above the dla-
mond and ruby. a French writer says
1T would seem as though the mighty
creative and organizing power hac

matter for the desired tint, to say noth

| fects. Another circumstance OF grea
interest about precious stones is tina

| that it is difficult for the unframed ey'
to detect the difference. and yet the ont

MARKING THE LAMBS.

In Sunday school, when the lesson
of the Good Shepherd was being eX,
planned, the question was asked. "how
does the Good Shepherd know his
sheep, Young Washington who had
been visiting his uncle's sheep farm,
thought he knew Tell the class, my
dear" said the teacher, Some he
Sits their ears and some he marks red

more so than are the marks Of health

they drove the pirates right across the
decks, whence several of the ruffians
jumped from the opposite bulwark

Meanwhile the brave Crout had
kept up a sturdy fight in the forepart
of the SLAYER. and he found himself
nobly backed up by his coxswain and
by the rest of the cutters crew By
the sheer obstinacy of battle, they
geadually cleared for themselves a
lane through the swarming bands of
the foe, and fought their way to the
upper part of the deck or fo'k'stle,
then gradually down the slippery
planking towards Mr.. Prevost's party,
until at last, with a maddened cry Of
mingled rage and joy, they joined
hauds with Mr.. Pasco's people; and
the Pantaloons were once more re

He waved his red stained cutlass in
the air, and dashed once more at the
bewildered enemy. But the effort
was too much, he staggered and fell
on his knees ere he had advanced
three PAGES, and a brutal Brazilian,
rushing at the falling man, inflicted a
second fearful wound, with an axe, all
across his left shoulder and arm.

their arms and sued loudly for quar-

lives. The good fight was over. and
the polacca was conquered.

4 Singular Affidavit.

The officers and clerks of the United
States land Office in st. Cloud, Mimi,
are greatly amused over an unusual
affidavit which found its way into their
place of business lately in the contest
case of Alonzo W. Keyes VS.. Sarah
Langen. the plaintiff having filed an
affidavit of the death of the contestee.
He sweaTs that he does not know the
present postoffice address or wherea-
bouts of the contestee, and DR.. y. X.
Whittemore of Elk River follows with
this somewhat remarkable affidavit:
This is TO certify that Sarah Lam

February s, 1895. l have no memo

and l have had more 10 think about in

about the dead. l am quite certain that
she is dead, and have certified to that
fact at least once before. She was a
patient of mine. and that ought to at

of I speak; and, possibly, that ought to

BATTLING WITH A RATE.
A Queer Marine Monster Kllel g.
California cast.

A Queer Marine Monster Kule g.
California Coast.
The Italian settlement at the foot 0
Franklin street was agitated this mora
ing by the capture of a monster OF the
deep, says an Oakland correspondent o
the San Francisco Examiner. An Italian
fisherman gave battle TO the queer fish
and he says he will long remember tAe
encounter The capture was made near
Goat Island. 1t took several hours 10
land the fish and during the contest two
boats We're nearly wrecked. The Iial-
ians call the monster a 'rattiSh,' be-
cause it has somewhat the appearance
of a rat. The fish weighs 245 pounds
and measures eleven feet from the tip
of the nose to the end of the tail. The
tail itself, which was used by the fish as
a means of defense, measured SIX feet
iii length. The story Of the battle was
told by a man named Lagoria, who en-
ploys the fishermen to go out every
morning and fish for him.
There is ore old man in my employ,
said Lagoria to-day, who seems TO
uaye particularly bad luck in catching
freaks. Several days ago he got man
eater while fishing near Goat Island and
had an exciting encounter. This morn
ing the same old fisherman had his lines
ont near Goat Island when he captured
the ratfsh He was alone at the time
and was com what excited when the
monster came to the surface Of the
water and made straight fer his little

in getting away from his catch. He

The Heroine of n Romance Who Lately
Passed Away.
me heroine of Il romance in real life
has just died. This was Princess Vic
toria of Capua, daughter of the broth
er of the king of Naples. A very hand
some woman of the AmaZonian type,
she lived alone for many years in her
chateau near Lucca, her one hobby and
object in life being the breaking in of
wild horses. Tho peasants of the
neighborhood used to call her Diana.
She would drive a four-in-hand of
half-broken animals through the most
rugged mountain passes with reSolu-
ton which astOnished all who met her.
Equally strange is the story of her
birth. Her mother was beautiful
Irish girl who, having attracted the
love of the heir presumptiye of the
throne OF Naples, accepted his hand,
but refused to live at court because his
family denied her the privileges of her
new rank. SO the pair retired into OBJ
scurity and lived on the revenues OF
the princes estate. She had only two
children-the princess whose death IS
just announced and a son who became
insane owing to hatred of women. SO
fixed was his delusion and so fierce did
he become if a woman came near him
or was visible from the castle windows
that the walls had TO be built up to an
extraordinary height, thereby shutting
out all view of the outside world.
