The Opal SuperstItiOu.

There is one superstition of wide
range and influence that is directed
against one of the most beautiful OBJ
jects in nature, the opal. A man in my
town failed in business, and what do
you think he did? Took his opal ring
into the yard and smashed it to pieces
with hammer! He aScrbed his bank
ruptcy to that opal. and he intended
neither to suffer such misfortune again
nor TO allow any other one to do so by
inheriting or buying that Ill starred
property.
One of the most amusing instances of
n trust in wrong things Is reported
from New York. where man took an
opal to Il jewelcr and asked him to sell
it, rs he had had nothing but bad luck
since he owned it, his business ven
lures having failed. his children having
suffered Illness and the old scratch
having been to pay generally. The
jewelcr found the gem to have been an
imitation. Its falsity must have been
obvious to everybody except the vic
tim. because the opal Is the stone that
has never been even passably Initiated.

has always appeared to The Gazette
that the things sold by the merchants

UNDER AN UMBRELLA.
An Expensive Adventure of Fn-
nous Partisan wit.

ROmicu, the famous Partisan wit
was one day caught in shower and
forced to seek refuge in a doorway of
the Opera House. 1t was o'clock al
ready, and he had an engagement in
the Cafe de Paris for that very hour.
The rain fell in torrents. There was
no carriage to be had. He had no UNI
brella. What was to be done? While
he was lamenting his bad luck n gem
tleman with a large umbrella passed
by. ROmicu was seized with a sudden
inspiration. He rushed out and grasp
ed the stranger by the arm and gravely
installed himself under the protecting
umbrella.
Il am Ovcrjoyed to see you" he i'm
mcdlately began. 81 have been looking
for you for two weeks. wanted to tell
you about Clementne."
Without giving the stranger time to
express his surprise Romieu ratified
away with gossip and anecdOte until
he had led the unknown companion to
the door of the Cafe de Paris. Then he
glanced at him with a face of well
feigned aStoniShment.
Pardon. monsieurv' he cried. at
seems am mistaken"
IL believe So" said the stranger.
Good graciousw added Romieu. "Be
discreet. Don't repeat what have told
you"
81 promise you"
"a thousand pardons"
Romieu hastencd within the cafe and
amid great laughter told the adventure
to his friends. Suddenly one of them
said:
Your cravat is rumpled."
Romieu put his hand to his neck and
turned pale. His pin, valuable sap
phire, was gone. On further examna-
ton his purse and watch were found to
be gone. The man with the umbrella
was pickpicket.-London Tit-Bits.

washinston's Fastidious Kinsmnn.

Lawrence, earl of Ferrers, distant
relative Of George Washington, had a
most tyrannical temper, and one day in
fit of passion he cut down with his
sword his steward, an old gentleman
named Johnson. The latter had given
no provecation for the deed, and the
chine was an act of brutality ineXcusa-
bic save that the earl may not have
been well balanced mentally. He was
brought to trial for killing johnson
and demanded and received the privi-
lege of being tried by his peers.
The house of lords was thronged dur
ing the hearing. The evidence proved
to be conclusive, and Ferrers was SEN
fenced to be hanged at Tyburn. APP
peals were made to the king for Glenn
ency, but I'm vain. Ferrers met his fate
with considerable brayado. He was
carefully attired for the occasion and
insisted OH providing a silken cord for
the ceremony. To this within the execu-
TONER agreed, and the earl was turned
on otherwise like any other felon.

Tree Planting In Warrington.

The selection, planting and care Of
all trees In the streets Of Washington
are under the direction of the District
authorities. Individual preferences or
private enterprises are not allowed to
regulate this improvement, as is gen
orally done in other cities. Moreover,
the city has its own nursery, where
seeds planted from Its own trees grow
and supply all the needed varieties.
In 1871, during the era Of great mu-
nicipal improvements, Governor \. r.
Shepherd appointed commission to
regulate this important matter, and its
efforts have brought about the beauty
and uniformity Of shade existing in
Washington today.

According to the Washington Star n

Philippines says he learned there Il
new method of keeping birds out of
fruit trees, which he described as fol-
lows:
1T is simple, inexpensive and, as
far as | could observe. practical. 1t
consists in hanging a small mirror on
the top limbs of the tree. There
should he at least six inches of string
to the mirror, so hat it can swing
about as it is blown by the wind. The
flash of the mirror, ii appears, scares

the people will know his life as

did he showed unusual energy, and

carried him so far in later life. He

CLIFF JEWELERS..
DR.. Russell. of Eervard, Says They Did Not
Come From Asia.

COnB FROM Ashs
DR.. Frank Russell, who Is in charge
of the chair of anthropOlogy at Har-
ward. was interviewed by a reporter
on his arrival in Denver to attend the
meetings of the Association for the
Advancement of Science, and an
nounced that he has discovered re-
Gently in Arizona and southwestern
Colorado 80 ruins of the cliff dwellers
which had not been previously trodden
by the feet of modern investigators.
He says he located them in almost in
accessible places. which required I'M
usual efforts of brain and physical en-
durance. To reach one of the most
valuable it was necessary to lower his
wife and down tine side of n
precipice for 80 feet by means of
block and tackle. and slide the mules
down the side of the mountain.
DR.. Russell travelled 200 miles by
wagon and 800 miles horseback, max
ing headquarters at Tucson, since last
March. The trip was conceived for
HI purpose of making n thorough
reconnaissance of the entire South
west for the bureau of ethnology of the
United States government. 1t includ-
ed the pueblo mound of Arizona and
southeastern Utah and the dwellings

reports that some of the newly discov-
cred ruins are of importance, while
many are too small and valueless to re-
pay further investigation. One of the
results of the Investigations is DIR.
Russelrs conclusion that the theory of
the cliff jewellers having originally
come upon North American soil via
Behring straits from Asia Is erroneous.
DR.. Russell believes that the cliff
jewellers We're natives. and that the
progress of their evolution was from
the south to the north. and that they
We're separate tribes with constant
tendencies toward civilization instead
of retrogression, similar to the evolu-
ton of the Algonquin and other east
ern Indian tribes.
There Is nothing whatever" said
DIR. Russell, ION which to base the the
DRY that any of the cliff dwellers had
an Asiatic origin. They had no Asiat-
ic customs. That idea is a revival of
~antiquated theories, based on dead
data"
