lunate influence upon the dignity and

The fact that when successful they pos
Iess a high commercial value, which
rebounds to the advantage of those

become not merely temple Of knowl-

the disease at first hand, but also for
something else. They came from

up their sleeves. They were, in fact,
commercial travellers thinly disguised,

Rnrs and curlous aems.

The rarest and the costliest of gems,
though not always esteemed the most
beautiful, are pigeons blood rubies,
fine opals and diamonds that are pure
but shed a distinct glow Of blue or
pink. A very perfect pearl of gener-
Gus size and lustrous skin, tinted a
rarely beautiful golden-green, was
valued, unset, at over S1,5OO. A fault
less green pearl is very rare. A curl
GUS stone is the Alexandria. 1t is a
dark green stone that is polished, cut
and set, very like a fine topaz or anne
thyst, in large, snowy rings, surround
ed by diamonds. By the light Of day
the Alexandrite has no special beauty
save its fine lustre, but directly a shaft
of artificial light strikes the dull stone,

THE VANISHING FRONTIER.
The Spirit of the Old Stage Coach Days
No Longer Exists.

No Longer Exists
"The American frontier, in all that
the term implies, is among the things
that are vanishing" said a Wyoming
man the other day. Geographically
well always have frontier, but for
the spirit which has been associated
with the frontier ever since the old
stage-coach days we are now depend
ent on history, poetry and romance.
/ saw in a news item in some of the
papers the other day an account of
a hanging in New Mexico, where 1t
was said that the armed condition OF
the spectators, including ranchmen
and cowboys, was more startling than
in any dime novel description ever
written. Now l believe that little
touch was done by some man who
wanted to expand an inch of telegram
into column Of copy. l have trav-
eled all over the west, and, incidental
ly, have witnessed a number of execu-
tions on the border, and l never saw
any demonstrations that were so wild
and woolly as to startle the weil-regu-
lated mind. The fact is, no one is
more interested and amused by from
tier literature than the frontiersman.
1t is there that he learns how the
frontiersman is expected to behave.
Bret Harte and his satellites go on
writing from impressions which the
former received a score of years ago.
Out in Cheyenne we celebrate one day
Of every year by a revival Of old sports
and customs, and call it Frontier day.
But the simple fact that we set aside
one day in the year and call It what
we do Implies that all the rest of the
year we don't have frontier days. On
that one day cow-ponies are ridden by
cowboys, but the cow-ponies are moth
ing but unbroken young stock, and
the cowboys are not near so realistic
as they are expected to be. There are
races and pistol-fring with blank
cartridges, and stage-coach robberies
and people wear badges consisting Of
miniature white sombreros on satin
ribbons or miniature pair of cow
horns, but it's all travesty, and when
the day is over it is felt to have been
failure. Some of the old-timers are
reluctant to see the old order Of
things passing away, but it is passing
away, just the same, and all the cow
boy stories and ranch verse can't
bring the old days back except for an
hour or so, just in imagination. ."-Uti-

Rather. as Fire Nvardons.

Mr.. Levi Dorton, aged rs years, a
mountaineer, noted as a rattlesnake
tanner, had an unusual experience at
his little home a few miles west Of
Grafton, Md, few days ago. He was
awakened about sunrise by fierce rat
tling of a swarm of snakes about his
door. He could not account for the un-
usual conduct Of his pets, but upon
opening the door he observed a roaring
forest fire eating up his fences and out
buildings and almost leaping in his
door. The reptiles, with whom DortoH
often played, terrified by the fire, Gid
ed in the door, and coiled around his
legs, as If pleading for protection. He
pacified them, coaxed them 20 uncoil,
and then by hard efforts extinguished
the fire. Mr.. Dorton lives in a hut
his father built in 1870 and subsists
largely by hunting. He has a wonder
ful knowledge of animals and has an
unusually fine collection of Indian
relics. He is a firm believer in the
remedial qualities Of rattlesnake oil
for rheumatism.

To Abolish Drowning.

Drowning should be an accident of
the past If the latest theory fulflls the
claims of its supporters Acetylena
gas is the mysterious agent OF rescue.
The principle is the sudden liberation
in an elastic receptacle Of a gas which
has a strong upward drawing force
sufficient to raise the object TO which 1t
is attached to the surface OF the water
and to keep it there. Equally simple
is the application of the principle At
tach to your person tiny receptacle
containing in two separate chambers
a substance known as calcium acotylid
and water. The union of these two
Immediately generates acetylene gas,
which is held by an elastic pocket at
tached to the metal receptacle, This
dilated pocket will make its way to
the top of the water in spite Of any
number of obstacles, and is more re-
liable than a whole crew of life savers.
This little gas generator may be used
to protect boats, RATS and buoys. as
we'll as human bodies The inventors
of the new system, Mcsars. l.. MatignOn
L. Co., of Paris, make a special point OF
this, in view of the great saving Of
property which 1t will make possible.
In the case Of either of these small
affairs or Of large vessels the generator
may be set in operation by an electric
wire in case of accident. The absolute
lack Of complicated machinery and tho
fact that not a second Of time need be
lost, make the acetylene system es-
pecially practicable. Even the raising
and floating Of vessels already sunk is
said to be likewise within the powers
of acetylene used in considerable guam
tities.-Philadelphia Times.
