Life and Health OF Gems.

now assure us that jewels have a sort
OF life Opals and pearls, rubies and
turquoise lose color and grow dull
when worn by the sick and pearls must
receive careful handling or they lose
color and brilliancy and finally die.
Gems, like books. are said TO breathe

II the hand on which the jewel is worn
gives off an unhealthy vapor, then the
Jewel will receive its proportion and be
injured thereby. For this reason II Is
wise to occasionally put your jeweled

that a gem gains in brilllancy by be-

Through a Kamr interpreter In the
TransvaaI Republic.
"It is a law in the Transvlll,' said
Henry Reading Of San Francisco, who
has lived in that country, that, when
blasting. after the shot has been fred
you must make a preliminary investi-
cation before putting the men back to
work, which means that you must send
in men who tap on the walls, floors,
and ceiling, to make certain that they
are sound, and that there will be no
danger of a cave-in. In ono OF the
mines with which l was connected. but
which naturally l do not care to give
the name of, occurred a Gavs-in In
which a couple of Kaflrs lost their
lives. The official in charge promptly
had the foreman, a Swede, arrested for
murder, and while it really wasn't the
poor fellows fault, it looked pretty
black for him. Few of the niggers
know much English, and it is there
fore necessary to use an interpreter
when talking to them. They are also
very ~laconic, and seldom say more
than yes or no in answer to a question.
In order to straighten matters we got
hold of the interpreter and squared
matters with him, for If the foreman
had been found guilty the mine would
have had to pay a fine of $500 as we'll.
The day the inquiry took place the
first question the Boer official asked of
our Kafir was, Did you, after the shot
was fired and before going in, carefully
sound with a hammer the walls, cell
ing, etc.?' That question got to the
niggers something like this; When
you are sleeping in the compound do
you like it when the boss wakes you
up with a whip?' There was an em-
phat MOI! The next query was, so
you were thoroughly satisfied before
going in that every precaution had
been taken and that all was
safer What they really were
asked was, Would it please
you to go down to Dutch Jake's
and drink your I'll Of Cape smoker?
And the Yes that followed nearly
raised the roof, and that was the way
that examination passed off. and as
the official knew what yes and no in
Kafir was, 1t the close Of his investi-
cation. without delay. he not only re-
leased our foreman. but RENTED the
fine on the mine as well."-New York

the effect even of large charges of them

Sable Islands Flight Against the sea-

sable island belongs to Nova SEQ
tia, is 145 miles from Halifax and SIS
miles east Of Capt Canso," writes Cus.
tav Kobbe in Ainalee's for February
1T Is a treeless. shrubless waste, aeam-
ed by wind and wave and Of ever
changing aspect. A c%oneshaped hill
near the east end, once a mere undu-
lation Of sand, Is now over a hundred
feet high. and is still growing. Other
hillocks are gradually being moved
away by storms. The hillocks are IL
able to be undermined so swiftly and
swept out Of existence that they arc
carefully watched from the various
stations on the island. there being no
certainty how far an inroad Of the sea
will extend after each successful at
tack. Even the coarse grass OF the
island grows in a different manner
from that Of the mainland. 1t does
not bear seed, but shoots up from roots
which u along the sand. During the
winter the sand is blown owe the grass
and buries It sometimes three or four
feet deep, But the hardy blades grow
up next season, as II the island sands
had protected them from the cold in
winter in order to make them all the
stronger. The island itself Is fighting
for self-preservation. It seems as If It
drew ships into it's fatal embrace rs
rallying points for its loose and shift
ing sand thus to protect itself by a
bulwark Of wrecks against annihlla-
ton by the sea. Tradition says that
when Sable island was discovered by
Cabot, in 1447, it was eighty miles long
and ten miles wide. In 1902, when a
rescue station was established there, It
was only forty miles long. Since then
1t has shrunk to but little more than
twenty miles in length. and in width
1t Is only a mile at It's widest. Within
twenty-eight years the western end
lost seven miles. Shoals over which
the ocean now surges ere pointed out
as former sites of lighthouses. One Of
these was so swiftly undermined by
the sea that 1t had to be abandoned
with the greatest preciT .ation. The
spot where once stood tH2 superinten-
dents house is now unG = two faith
oms of water. The island. rapidly d.
minishing at it's western end, is slight
ly gaining at its eastern. Slowly, like
a ship dragging its anchor, it Is NOV
ing eastward. VIII 1t ever reach the
edge of the shoals. stand tottering on
the brink of the abyss till it receives
its coup-de-grace and plunge over the
submarine bank forever into the
depths? Unfortunately, is end will
probably be less dramatic. There is
good ground for believing that this
gray sand bar will slowly wear away
until it becomes another submerged
shoal added to an ambuscade already
some sixty miles in length-for a line
of breakers extends sixteen miles from
one end Of the island and tw -nty-eight
miles from the other"

1t was once laid down by a cele-
brated writer and historian that the
difference between rising at s and z in
the morning for the space Of forty
years, supposlng a man to 80 to bed
at the same hour every night. Is nearly
equivalent to the addition of ten years
to the life. This consideration should
carry very great weight and be sufi-
Client to induce those who have not
hitherto practiced this habit to com
mence to do so, more especially the
people who are always complaining
that life Is not long enough for them to
transact all the work that they have
to perform. There is much founda-
ton for their complaint II they persist
in wasting so many valuable hours OF
the day In bed. The advantages and
benefits of early rising cannot be over
estimated; in the early hours OF the
morning the brain Is clearer and more
ready for work. mi after a nights
sleep we should be ready to attack the
work Of the day.
