BRIEF REVIEW.
American Precious Stones.

1t was reported the other day that
Professor G. H. Shaw had found in Ari-
iona a necklace of turquoises of rare
size and beauty which is supposed to
have belonged to some very important
parsonage who lived ages ago. A min
ing newspaper, commenting upon this
find, says that turquoise mining in New
Mexico is one of the oldest industries of
the country, but the output is quite
limited. The turquoise output is usually
more valuable than that of any other
precious stone found in this country,
but the output is worth only from
S4O,O 900 to $4,000 year. Some of the
stones are used by jewelers., but most of
them find their way into mineral cab
inets and museums. The mining of
precious stones in our country has never
been large industry, and the annual
product is worth only about 100000 a
year.

done at the theater or music hall. 1t is
only question Of a few weeks-not
months-until death will relieve the
poor mothers sufferings, yet this heart
less girl rushed into her mothers pres
ence with the news that she was going
to New York with company for an
indefinite length of time. The mother
plead with her not to leave her, but she
turned deaf ear and impatiently asked
her if she couldn't make three stage
dresses for her! She sent up yards of
gaudy silk and pillows of lace, and the
mother, not able to speak above whis-
per, left her bed to undertake task
that the strongest would shrink from.
Seeing that her mother could not pos
sibly finish them she got her two assist
ants. Not needle did she take in her
hand, but simply tried on the garments
when necessary, packed her trunk and
walked the floor impatiently, hurrying
them up and accusing them of being
too slow. The expressman stood wait
ing while the mother, with trembling
fingers, put in the last stitches in the
gaudy red silk costume, and with
bright, hectic spots burning in her thin
cheeks, and her eyes swimming in
tears, turned to say goodbye to the I'M
grateful daughter. "Don't be foolish,
ma, I'll write to you,n and she was off,
leaving a hasty kiss-the mockery of
an affection she did not feel. She knew
that she was leaving her alone in the
world, and that the chances were she
would never see her mother again, vet
she was perfectly Indifferent and the
chances are will feel relieved when
death has placed the seal of silence on
her lips, for she did not approve of her
daughters career and was constantly
begging her to give up the stage. Ret
is sure to follow such heartless-
ness, and Polly wonders what this girls
future will be?

host will tell you the tale of the old
north country farmer-a typical York

day and asked to have note for e3O,-

said the bank official, mentally con-
trasting the farmers appearance with
his request; "only two notes of that de-
nomination have been issued" Eyes"

iEs.is.ss.is.isss.Sssssssssssssss

Did it ever occur to you how many
good friends one chance acquaintance
can bring to you? You meet stranger:
seemingly there is nothing in common
between you, when some remark will
open up the way for a friendly chat
and you find that there is a bond of
sympathy you never dreamed Of What
is it? Tastes in common? Yes, partly.
A desire to crafty some cherished am
bition and rise to heights you have
dreamed of and yet not dared to whis-
per it in your own household for fear
they would smile at your conceit and
pronounce it pure folly? Yes, for here
you have found kindred spirit, one
who has dared to share the same aspi-
rations, and you have read the doubts
and fears, joy and hope in each others
lives like it was an open book. In each
other both have found friend, and a
bond of sympathy has been welded so
fast that it can never be broken. But
there is another charm in this chance
acquaintance. You discover that he
has come from the same part of the
country that you had long ago claimed
as home. Then the tide of memory
rolls back. Did they know this one
and that one and the other one? Per-
sons you had long ago forgotten rise up
before you. The sealed book of your
memory is wide open now. Ordinary
events Of little moment come to mind.
Did you know this one and that one?
What has become of them? etc., until
a whole evenings conversation has
been made up of interrogation points,
with few exclamation points thrown
IN. The world is not so large, after all!
This person that you had never met
before knows scores of your oldtime
ffiends and can tell you more of their
success and wanderings than you had
ever dreamed of. You feel like you had
known this new friend for years, and
no matter where the wheel of destiny
in its mad whirl may send him, you
will always be interested in his welfare.

will always be interested in his welfare.
Speaking of the wheel of destiny re-
minds me of the fact, as one little
chatterboX said the other day, that
we are all creatures of circumstance"
The wheel of destiny took a turn for
Polly, recently, and 1 found myself
located in one of the most beautiful
spots on Gods footstool-the charming
Olema Valley, set down like a gem in
the surrounding hills. No matter
which way you tnrn, be it north, south,
east or west, perfect picture greets
you. The velvety patches of grass and
grain, as green as an emerald, the myr-
lads of flowers and densely wooded hills
spread out like a grand panorama before
you. The cosy Nelson Hotel, that is
known far and wide by summer So
journers for the genuine hospitality of
the Nelson brothers and their clever
sister, is overgrown by beautiful roses,
the white buds and blossoms of the
Lemarque and the wealth of flowers of
the cloth of gold shading the large,
roomy porch and throwing out fra
GRANGE that will last long after the visit
to this lovely retreat has become a
dream Of the past. Here the linnets,
with their ruby caps and little red
breasts, are holding high carnival and
making the welkin ring with their
roundelay. 1t is all so still after the
noise and confusion of the great, bus
ting city that is never quiet, for by the
time the last car has rolled into the car
house the heavy milk and produce
wagons begin to rumble into the city,
rafting over the rough pavements in a
way that is torture to those who cannot
sleep, or to the sick and feeble. The
great quiet Is though something had
stopped suddenly, like the machinery
of great factory. You are almost be-
wildered by the silence that seems to
have settled down in this peaceful little
valley, and yet you would not have it
different if you could, for this charm
ing retreat is truly the valley of rest
Away with dull care and forget trials
and disappointments and veXations of
spirit, for such disquieting thoughts are
not in keeping with the place. Later
on the sound of laughter and merry
repartee will ring through the halls and
porches, for it will be crowded as of
yore with summer visitors and sojourn-
ers of a few hours as they wend their
way to the camps and cottages at In
verness, Bolinas, Willow Camp, Bear
Valley, etc., through fern and vine
clad banks and forest trees. II is all so
beautiful and restful, and the comfy draw
back is that all those you are interested
in could not have the same pleasure. A
visit to this delightful valley would be
boon to invalids and those suffering
from overwork and nervousness. 1t
would give them a new lease on life
and put new song in their hearts.

mers do very unkind act the other
day, and if a miracle does not happen
she will live in the shadow of regret,
