BIRTH MONTH STONES.

The very latest craze in many of the
fashionable capitals is the wearing of
birth month stones, and. strange to
say, it emanated in remote Poland.
Women there, according to IN old
legend, are saved NIL manner of ills by
wearing the guardian charm of the
month in which they were born; and
men, too, if given such gems by n
woman, are also saved and benefited.
Here is the true list. There are vari-
cites, but the one given is direct from
Poland:
January-'Garnet consistency.
February-Amethyst sincerity.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. courage. Wis
dom.
April-Sapphire or diamond; free
from cnchuntment, innocence.
May-Emerald; success III love,
discovers false friends.
June-Agate,; health and prosper
ity.
July-Ruby corrects evils of mis-
taken friendship, discovers poison.
August-S.rdonyx; meaning con-
jugal felicity.
acknowledgements antidote to
madness, free from sadness and evil
passions.
October-Opal hope.
Novrmber-ropaz ;idelity, prevents
bad dreams.

WHITE GLovED MAIDS.

In Sweden, according to sojourner
in that country, the chambermaid
performs her duties wearing white
gloves and white apron, in order
that the snowy bed linen, the toilet
articles aud perhaps the delicate fur
uiture may not be soiled by contact
with grimy fingers or clothes.
The gloves are loose ones of wash
leather, and as they are kept only for
this purpose, they do not need to be
washed oftener than once n week. The
custom certainly furnishes sugges
ton for the owners of white enamelled
furniture and white painted wood
