THE SECRET OF TIE OPAL.
y Little Tale Which illustrates the
Fact That II Is an Unlucky
Gem.

The newly-received opal ring fell
from her finger suddenly, and rolled
away across the floor. The Man, stoOp-
ing to recover it, fancied that it
CLEANED like a tear. The Girl, happy
in its possession, delighting in its play
of life and color, insisted that II shone
like a smile or star. The Woman,
watching the pair reminiscently from
the window seat, thought that 1t
looked like a drop of blood, says the
Chicago Tribune.
Il am old-fashioned enough TO be
superstitious about opals," she said,
presently Il don't really suppose
there is anything in the old idea, but
I'm sure 1 shouldn't care about hav-
ing one for an engagement token. Even
the commonplace diamond would be
far better, in my opinion"
The Man smiled indulgently, vet
with the suggestion of a sheer The
Girl, glancing at his face that moment,
saw some thing in the strong features
and half-veiled expression that she
had never seen before. She looked at
the Man as she might have looked a t an
utter stranger, studied for the first
time. Then she shivered little, unac-
countably, turning away.
ITS my turn to be superstitious
now" she smiled. Somebody must
certainly have walked over my grave
just then"
The dawning sheer on the Mans
face grew stronger, tempered. as it

you must learn TO repress those
ridiculous tendencies. dearie." he said,
his voice something sharp with the i'm
patience he had longed TO express to-
ward the Woman. ''There is nothing
! dislike and despise more than absurd
ideas of that kind. l am afraid | shall
ride roughshod over all such fancies
on your part after we are married"
The Woman shivered now, but she
said nothing. The Girl looked at the
Man with wide eyes. fascinated by that
uncomprehended something she had
never seen before. As comprehension
grew the tinid look in her eyes deep
ened, struggled with growing deter
animation, vanished in troubled sad
ness. She withdrew her gaze from the
strong, kind. plain-featured, and
slightly hard face before her with diff
ficuIty, and turned then toward the
open window. The meaning of those
small hard lines and wrinkles about
his mouth and eyes became plain to
her as her glance fell away from
them.
No" she said, quietly, you will
never ride roughshod over any fancies
of mine. have changed my mind. We
shall never be married.
When the Man went away his face
was white and his eyes angry. He car
ried the opal ring in his hand and
never knew it. Becoming conscious Of
ats presence there half an hour later,
he slipped it into his pocket with a
sigh.

tious next l suppose he muttered,
;grimly. with smile at his own weak
ness. "but it certainly does look like a
tear"
The Girl meanwhile, dry-eyed but
pallid, was talking it over with the
Woman.
'Opals certainly do mean tears" she
said at the conclusion of the talk But
that one didn't look like a tear to me,
somehow"

Woman, quietly; sit looked like a drop

GREAT WEATHER sHARps.
sAiIormen Of the Gulf of Mexico of
OideB Times Were Famous
Squa1I SmeIIers.

''The greatest weather sharps in
the world said a citizen who takes
an interest in meteorology. especial
ly of the goose bone brand, to New
Orleans Times Democrat man, were
the old-time sea captains in the gulf
and coast trade. Squall smelling was
a necessary part of their business;
for, as you proba bly, know, the big
gest dirty weather factory in the
universe is the Caribbean sea. There
are no such things as times and sea-
sons down there and what's coming
may be a dead calm and it may be
a rip-roaring hurricane, so the men
who cruised In those waters before
we had any signal service TO help
them out had to keep continually on
the alert and it's no wonder that
some of them acquired a skill that
seemed next door to supernatural.
1T became sort of instinct, sec
ond nature, with them and they
couldn't tell how they did it them
selves. They would predict changes
before they were even limited at in
the glass; they would anticipate the
very caprice of the wind and many
a time they saved their ships and
their skins by quick, sharp orders
which for the moment appeared to
be nothing short of preposterous. OF
course, it was all matter of minute
observation, good deal of which
was no doubt unconscious. They
had learned by long experience to
read meaning in the different forms
of clouds and the way the cloud
strata lay in the upper air; the wa
ter was an open book to them and
they would detect hundred and one
small atmospheric phenomena invisi-
bic TO an ordinary observer.
1T was on the ship of one of
these famous old weather prophets
years ago on a voyage to Havana.
We were Just entering the harbor,
when the captain, who had been
moody and distraught for several
hours, suddenly called the mate and
ordered him to get anchored as
quickly as possible and make every
thing fast for hurricane. The mate
made mild protest. The glass is
pretty steady. sir he said. Never
mind, said the captain, its a-coming,
all the sane!
The crew lost no time in carrying
out the order and while they were at
work making things trim the barom-
eter began falling like man tum-
bling down an elevator shaft. He
had barely time to get in shape for
trouble when a typical tropical storm
came swooping out of the east and
played havoc with the unprepared
shipping Several goodsized craft
were knocked to pieces, hut we es-
capped with no damage whatever. l
tried to get the captain to tell me
how he knew the gale was coming,
but his answers were vague. That
he felt it in his bones was the near
est hes came to definite statement.
This old tribe of prophets seems to
have died out" added the meteoro-
! logical enthusiast. 'and the modern
sea captain doesn't make any pre-
tensions in that line. Storm smelling
has become a lost art

THE GUM CHEWING cow.
Owner Thought the Habit Had Worn
All Her Upper Teeth
on.

A farmer in Knox county, Me-, has
been saying mean things about Rock
land shipma ster, and Opinion reports
a few. Quoth the farmer: IF had
a hired man that made such piece of
work as he did about that COW of his,
I'd send him off!
'Why, he bought COW of a man
down my way; good critter-nothin'
the matter with her. But it seems the
captains wife, one day. thought the
milk tasted funny, and suggested that
p'r'aps she'd been eatin' spruce
boughs: said the milk tasted like
spruce. And what does he do but go
out in the pasture TO watch the COW,
to see what she did eat.
THE COW was lyin' down, chewin'
her cud. and he went along and run
his finger in her mouth to see what she
was eatin'. Then he was mad. He put
a rope on the COW, and started off with
her.
"'Where are you goin' with the
cow?' says neighbor.
"Goin' 10 take her back to the fell
me, and | won't stand it,
"The man wanted to know what was
the matter, and he went on to tell
about il. She wasn't eatin' boughs,
he says, she was chewing gum: that's
what's the matter with the milk and
makes 1t taste like spruce. And he
says, that amt all. She's so addicted
to the habit that she's worn all her
teeth out. She amt got an upper
tooth in her head. Back she goes,
quick!'
''Of course, the man told him that 1t
was all nonsense: that cows never had
no upper teeth. But he didn't believe
word of it. and went on and had a
tarnal row with the man that sold him
the Cow. Guess he was never satisfied
about it,"

CALIFORNIA ORANGES.
Vast Improvement Noted isl the Fruit
Effects OF the Freeze i'm
Florida.

Everybody who eats them has
probably noticed that New York's
supply of California oranges has
never before been so plentiful and
cheap and good as now You can get
big, sweet, juicy navel oranges as low
as two for a nickel, says the Sun
Florida oranges have practically
been out of the market since the big
freeze in the fall of 1897. They will
find things somewhat changed when
they get back A few years ago the
superiority of the Florida orange,
particularly the Indian river prod
net, was unquestioned The Cahfor-
MIA orange was coarse-grained, less
juicy than the Floridas, deficient in
favor and full of stringy pulp that
was both disagreed Bile to the eater
and hard upon the digestion.
But wonderful improvement has
been made within a comparatively
short time. The California orange to-
day is still coarse grained and still
lacks some of the delicate flavor of
the Florida or the Messina fruit but
its flavor has been vastly improved,
it is trimming with Juice and the
tough fiber in the best grade of
oranges has almost entirely disap-
peared.
1t is not generally known that this
horticultural device for doing away
with the seeds in the ripened fruit
was introduced in this country by
an observant American woman who
called the attention of the depart
ment of agriculture to it. This wom-
an, while travelling in the province of
Bahia. Brazil, in 1868, observed that
the oranges of that province were
much superior TO those raised in the
United States, and seedless as well.
She communicated with the commits
sioner of agriculture, and as result
~ young plants were sent from Bra
zil to Washington.
