The Opal Superstition,

There is one superstition of wide
range and influence that is directed
against one of the most beautiful OBJ
jects in nature, the opal. \ 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 a hammeri He ascribed 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 i'll starred
property.
One of the most amusing instances of
a trust in wrong things is reported
from New York, where a man took an
opal to a jeweler and asked him TO sell
it. as he had had nothing but bad luck
since he owned Ii, his business ven
lures having failed. his children having
suffered illness and the old scratch
having been to pay generally. The
jeweler 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.

the quiet influence of those identified
with the city government is being
shown in all the wards with possibly
one exception.

that it has made no oveI lures 10 any
