The largest ruby in the world is in
the British state crown.
1t was SEQ years ago, in Florence
that the first grand opera vas pro-
duced.
Tumblers resembling in shape and
dimensions those employed to-day have
been found in great numbers in Pom
pei. They were made of gold, silver,
glass. marble, agate and of precious
stones.
Topers in many OF the towns Of the
Argentine Republic are shamed into
reformation by being compelled to
sweep the streets for eight days for
each o%ffense. Responsibility is no ex.
cuse for leniency. and it is not a rare
sight TO behold a man in a dress suit
toiling in the company of ragged
tramps.
The famous old city of Client. Bel.
GUM. is built on &c islands, which are
connected with one another by 81
bridges. Three hundred streets and &c
public squares are contained in these
islands. Client is famous because
Charles V. and John of Gaunt were
born there. II has been The scene of
many treaties. instructions and re-
volts. and it was there thu treaty was
made terminating the war of 1912 be.

Of the Montana boys were quite dis

Had they left yesterday 1t was calcu-
lated they would reach San Fran

who was selected by the Butte com
mittee to look after the matter Of
transportation for the regiment 10
that II possible all can be brought

Southern Pacific and Oregon Short
Line offer a rate from San Francisco
to Butte Of S25. The Northern Pa
cifc rnte would he best II the South
ern Pacific would make an equally
low rate from San Francisco to Port
land, but this they refuse To do, and
further negotiations are in progress.
The transports Valencia and Zea-
landia were reported by Otis to be in

the man who turns to Nature and lets her
help him may yet save himself. Medical
science knows this, and its highest authori.
ties affirm that the utmost medical skill
can do is to help Nature.
The great success of DIR. Pierce's Golde
Medical Discovery in curing wasted bodies,
weak lungs, and obstinate and lingering
coughs, is based on the recognition of
this fundamental scientific truth. Golden
Medical Discovery" supplies Nature with
body building, tissue repairing, muscle
making materials, in condensed and con-
centrated form. With this help Nature
supplies the strength to throw off diseases
of the lungs, heal the sick stomach, re-
establish the digestive and nutritive organs
in sound health, purify and enrich the
blood, and nourish the nerves.
If you dealer offers something lust as
good" il is probably better for him it
pays better. But you are thinking of the
cure not the profit, SO there's nothing Just

|IngersOIl's ElOquence.

In his speech nominating James G.

convention in 1876, Colonel Ingersoll
said:
"This is a grand year,-a year filled
with the re~collections If the revolu-
ton; filled with proud and tender
memories of the sacred past;...........
filled with legends Of li%berty;-a year
In which the sons of freedom will

for the man who has torn from the
throat OF treason the tongue of
SANDER; the man who has snatched
the mask of democracy from the
hideOus face of the rebellion; the man
who, like the intellectual athlete, has
stood In the arena of debate, chal-
longing all corners, and who, up to
the present moment, is a total
stranger to defeat. Like an armed
warrior, like a plumed knight. James

the American congress and threw
his shining lance full and fair against
the brazen forehead OF every traitor
to his country and every maligner OF
his fair reputation. For the Republic

Nor is the early morning made melo-

Genuine cows milk is a scarce article
here. The water buffalo supplies most
of the milk used, a snow-white liquid
containing little cream and having a
flavor none too pleasant to the Ameri-
can palate. There are a few Australian
cattle kept in the suburbs of Manila,
apparently of Durham and Devon ex-
traction. but their milk is liquid gold
in comparison with the other.
Instead of milk wagons, bare-legged
milkmen trot about with long-necked
jars or bambooed cylinders hanging
from either end of a pole carried on the
shoulder.

TIE LIGHTS THAT FAILED
Notes on Previous Star Showers
by Ia. vi. Whitney.

The non-appearance OF the long
looked for leonids has been a keen dis
appointment to those who had never
witnessed the display, as we'll as to
those who had seen former ones. But
this is not the only periodic year in
which they have passed by unseen.
X was stated a few years ago, by one
| of the professors of Yale College. that
since the first record of the November
showers in the year \. d. 903, down
TO 1866, only thirteen of these displays
had been recorded as having been wit
messed whereas thirty-three should
have and probably did take place
This partial record was not because of
any irregularity in them, but was I'M
doubtedly due to the earth's passing
through the meteoric belt during day
light. 1t is, however. possible that the
recent display may have been observed
ar some point north, south, east, or
west of us, and where it was least ex-
pected, as, for instance, in Alaska, or
by the antarctic expedition, which is
now probably near the south pole
In reading a notice of the meteoric
shower of 1866, in one of the local
papers of that date, it was stated that
party of students of Punahou Col
lege watched on the campus ground
from 10 p. m. till a. m, and counted
81 meteors. about half of them appear
ing during the last hour named. I'm |

in beauty, until the latter hour
(as seen by the writer), it surpassed |
any description that could be given,
the incidents reported, two
brilliant meteors dropped into the sea,
one beyond Diamond Head, the other
off the harbor-how far distant no one
could say, for they appear as bright

One-third of the meteOrs of 1866 eman-
ated from the constellation Of Leo,
which has been supposed to be the cen

Those that came from the west and the
northeast were by far the most bril-
liant. To count them was utterly i'm
possible.

BOCCACCIO,
One of tbs. Best of Comic Operas
Will he Presented Tonight.


"Boccacio,' by Fraz Won Suppe, IS
one of the best operate productions
that has yet been offered by the opera
company. 1t is brimful of delightful
melodies, solos. quartettes and grand
choruses.
While "Boccaccio' is, strictly speak
ing, comic opera of the most pro-
nounced type, yet, it is musically so
strong that it takes rank in the grand
opera repertoire, and is frequently pre-
sented. The opera will employ the
services of every member of the Lyric
company, including Miss Andrews and
Miss Stanton, one appearing as Boo
caccio' and the other as 'Ffametta.
The students Serenade' and the
Cooper Chorus" are well-known num-
bers in this opera. The choruses are
all superb.
The following is the scenario of
"Boccaccio:"
TO Florence in accordance with the
wishes of his father to marry Fiamet-
ia. the daughter Of the Duke of Tus-
oany. Fiametta, when a child, had
been adopted by Lambertuccio, a gro
Ger, who was not aware of her noble
birth. The Duke had caused her to be
named in this humble manner for rea-
sons of his intention of wedding her to
'Pietro, to whom she had been be-
t"othed in infancy. Upon Pietro's ar
rival in Florence, before presenting
himself before the Duke and Fiar1etta,
he Joined in several adventures with
the students. Boccaccio, the novelist. |
and poet, who is hated by the men of |
Florence for having ridiculed them in |
his novels, is deeply in love with Fla
meta. Pietro is mistaken for Boccac- |
clio and is severely handled by the in
dignant Florentines AS Pietro is |
about to be solemnly betrothed to Fla
meta for considerations of State-al-
though he does not love her and she
dislikes him-Boccaccio, knowing that !
his affection for her is reciprocated. ar
ranges a play which illustrates thel
follies of Pietro so strongly that the |
latter surrenders the hand of Fiametta |
to Boccaccio.
On Thursday night Carmen" will be
produced and at Saturdays matinee
'Pinafore;" Saturday night, "Erminie."
The repertoire for next week will be as !
follows: Tuesday, "Girof1e Girofa:"
Thursday Thanksgiving Merry
War Saturday matinee. Martha"
Saturday night, Chimes of Norman |
