Rare and Curious Gems.

The rarest and costliest of gems.
though not always esteemed the most
beautiful, are pigeons blood rubies.
fine opals and diamonds that are pure
but shed distinct glow Of blue or
pink. n very perfect pearl of generous
size and Iustrous skin. tinted a rarely
beautiful golden green, was valued I'M
set at over $500. 4 faultless green
pearl is very rare.
A curious stone is the alexandria.
1t is dark green stone that is polish
ed. cut and set. very like a fine topaz
or amethyst, in large snowy rings sur
rounded by diamonds. BY the light of
day the alexandria has no special
beauty save its fine Iuster. but directly
n shaft of artificial light strikes the
dull stone deep CLEANS of red flash out
of the green, and under the gas or in
the freight one ignorant of this va
gary would instantly pronounce it a
ruby.

PLAYING WITH MATCHES

and Mrs. John Leppert, of Twenty
fourth avenue. Moline, narrowly es-
capped frightful fatality Sunday.
The little one, who was in the yard
playing. suddenly began to scream.
and instantly she was enveloped in
flame. The fire was finally extin-
guished, but not before the child was
fearfully burned about the body, the
worst burns being on the left side and
the entire left arm. A doctor was
sunni Jned and all that was possible
was done to relieve her suffering.
which was fearful to witness. She is
resting as easily as could be expected
today. 1t was afterward discovered
that the child had been playing with
matches, which became ignited in
some way and the fierce wind soon
famed the fire into mischievous ac-
tivity. Mrs. Frank Sullivan's hands
were slightly burned in helping to
extinguish the fire.

BURNING TIES DELAY
MORNING c., 3. e. @. TRAIN

Burning ties near the terminal
junction held the St. Louis train on
the q a quarter of an hour this
morning. The fire was so fierce that
the train did not dare to attempt to
run past. The fire department has
had so much trouble of late with
burning ties along the track in this
cisy that the policy has been pursued
of letting them burn in order to get
them out of the way. Perhaps this
will lead the railroad companies to
pile their supplies outside of town for
safe keeping and thus remove u source
of danger to property along the
tracks

"If you will be mine," he urged as he
leaned over the desk, every comfort
that you may desire will be yours.
True, 1 am no longer young, but have
money, and 1 can provide for you as
few young men could, and surely the
material side of the marriage question
is worthy of some consideration"
