ly Jewellers Fiction.

ly Jewellers Fiction.
 1t is only within q few years that the fashionable women of Chicago could be induced to wear opals, although they are among the fafest and most beauti- fal of gems But now the opal, long tabooed because of it's supposed un- lucky qualities, is reported by dealers in gems to be once more selling well. With this information comes what pHports Go be the true story of how so beautiful 8 stone came by It's bad pane.
 It seems, according ts the story, that Belgian jeweler finding q great de- mand for opats in Brussels, sent one of his saIesmen to London to purchase a supply On arriving there this emissafy found to his ehagfin that the object ol his quest was the most popu- lar gem in the English capital, ana that it's price was proportionately large. Forthwith he conceived the story that opals bring bad luck. lie circulated this story diligently, with the surprising result that the much sought stones came to be sednlous1y avoided, and that their price rapidly declined. In the course of two months opaIs were selling in London for one- third of the price previously asked for them, and the astute Belgian prompt ly bought Up all there were offered for eale; in fact, all the opals that were to be had, Before the superstition he had started had time to reach the con- tinent of Europe, he had delivered the jewels to his chief, and the firm had placed them upon the market and reaped mammoth profit on the trans action.
 The belief in the ilJ-starred fortune of an opal's owner grew greatly and brought fruit hnndredfold For twenty-five years past the stone has been almost unstable, in spite Of its beauty. Now someone has unearthed, or more probably invented the story of the Belgian speculator, and the pendu- lum of popular sentiment has begun to swing in the opposite direction.

Relic of By-gone Days.

St. Georges church, at the top of Lord street, Liverpool, England, is undergoing demolition. and the work men have just come upon curious relic of by-gone days. The church stands on the site of a baronial castle said to have been first built by Roger de Poictiers i'll 1073. After being used for various purposes, the castle was demolished early last century to make room for the church. While at work the demo1ishers of the church came upon a large slab in the east aisle, im- mediately under the stained glass win- dow facing Lord street. The slab be- ing raised disclosed twelve steps cut In rock and leading to platform, and an arehed doorway led to another flight of five steps, at the foot of which was a square chamber about fourteen feet in height, also cut in the rock From this place there is a passage appar- ently running in the direction of the river, while marks on the walls sug- gested that the tide flowed in at high water, though the church is on high level and nearly 200 yards from the river. It is supposed that these steps and passages were hewn in the rock to provide an outlet from the castle near the Waterside, and that when the castle was removed it was thought easier to cover the entrance than to fill up the passage Foul air prevented ths workmen from explo ing furthe'
