Your Birthstone and Flower,

With the natal stone belonging tc
month of the year, and the peculiar su-
perstition attached to it, most of us are
familiar, but in addition to this there is
special talismanic gem supposed to be-
long peculiarly to the guardian angel of
the month. For January, Gabrie! IS the
rqary, Barchiel has the jasper; March,
Malchediel, the ruby; April, Ashmodel,
topaz. May, Amriel, carbuncle; June,
Muriel, emerald; July, Verchiel, sapphire;
August, Hamatiel, diamond; September,
Tsuriel, jacinth; October, BARREL, the ag-
ate; November Adnachiel, the amethyst,
and December, Humiel, the beryl.
Then there is a certain flower for each
month, and this is often selected as the
design for brooches, pendants, etc., and
either the stones belonging to that month
are used, or else others are made to spell
some word or to carry some sentiment
i'll their own symbolic language. Some
| times, by making the birthstone the CEN
ter, and grouping the others about it in
the formation of the flower, all of the
different superstitions attached to that
month, and some. sentiment besides, may
be expressed in the single design.
The flowers for the different months
are the snowdrop for January, then in
! the order of the months follow the prim-
rose, violet, daisy, haythorn, honeysuckle.
Water-l1iy, poppy, morning glory, hop.
chrysanthemum, and, lastly, for the holt
day month, the. holly. Nothing could he

REGARDED as Absurd,

American family trees arc regarded
with much amusement and American
coats-of-arms are considered absurd. Not
that English people do not consider we
are entitled to these things, but because
such manifestations Of the spirit of caste
are absolutely contrary to the spirit of
republican institutions. And yet we love
IL lord and bow before him and truck!e
to him far more than even the middle
class Englishman. And how ridiculous
it all is!
The first step of man of vast wealth
and a man of absolute power-the tennis
are almost synonymous these days-must
be to put away provincialism, says a
writer in Vogue. He must be proud of
his country-and he has reason to be
but he must not try to pull down old
traditions. He will find himself laughed
at and he will retire from the field crab
bed and disappointed. Money can COM
mand everything if tact and judgment
are used in it's dispensation. And it is
because so many persons lack these quail
ties that they make mistakes.
