MOST PRECIOUS OF STONES.
Some Interesting Facts About the
Value of Rubfes

Some Interesting Facts About the
Value of Rubies.
s'To the question: (which is the
most valuable precious stoneY nine
people out of every ten, at least, will,
without the slightest hesitation, reply:
The diamond" :" said a dealer in gems.
'tBut the value of good-sized diamond
cannot approach that of ruby of the
correct color and similar dimensions.
THE worth of small rubies-stones
that are of less than a carat-is, if any
thing, rather less than that ofdlamonds
of like description, but the rare oc-
currence of large specimens of that
dark carmine tint which is looked upon
as the sine qua non of a perfect ruby
causes the value of these gems to in
crease in far greater proportion than
in the case of diamonds. Rubies weigh
ing more than four carats are so eX-
ceptional that when Il perfect one of
five carats is brought to the market
it viii command ten times as high a
sum as a diamond of the same weight,
while rubies of six carats, without crack
or flaw, and of the proper color, would,
in all probability, bring as high price
as $4,000 per carat, or Is times as much
as a diamond of like size and faultless-
ness.
"All over the east rubies are regarded
with the greatest possible favor, and
so it las Seca from the earliest times
ofwhich we have any record. The finest
specimens are found in Burmah, and
from time immemorial it has been a
law of that country that all rubies of
above certain size are the property of
the king, whoever may have been for
tunate enough to find them. 1t is
thought to this day there are concealed
in Burmah, among the treasures which
the British invasion caused to be hid
den away, rubies of far greater size
and value than any which have up to
now been seen either in,Europe or this
country.
''The law which gave fine ruJbies to
! the ruler of the land has undoubted-
ly caused the destruction in modern
times of many magnificent specimens
! of this gem, for the finders of larger
stones than usual have, whenever the
opportunity was favorable, broken
them into fragments, each weighing less
than carat, to insure themselves the
possession of several rubies incompara-
bly, less valuable, it is true, than the
original in which they were once
united, but still their own instead OF
the king's."-Washing Star.

One Nebraska regiment would be mus

to the governor of that state.
"My corps is in 6ne condition and
we'll drilled," said General Lee. "You
