OLD IDEAS ABOUT GEMS.
Pearls Were Thought to De Dew
 drops Caught by the Shell.


 The Indians called rock crystal an 'unripe diamond" and until the begin. ming of the eighteenth century India was thought to be the only land which produced that precious stone. It was not, therefore. until the discovery of India that the diamond was known to us. Yet as far back as 800 B. c. Q "didactic history" of precious stones was written. and in Pliny's time the supply must have been plentiful, as he wrote, "We drink out of mass of gems, and our drinking vessels are formed of emeralds." We are also told that Nero aided his weak sight by spectacles made of emeralds.
 But is very difficult to determine whence all the gems came, as discov- erers took care to leave no record. The nations who traded in them were afraid of their whereabouts being known. and even the most ancient mer. chants would not disclose any definite locale. All sorts of myths have ac- cordingly sprung up concerning the origin of gems. Diamond" was the name given to q youth who was turned into the hardest and most brilliant of substances to preserve him from ''the ills that flesh is heir to-" Amethyst was beautiful nymph beloved by Bacchus. but saved from him by Di- ana. who changed Amethyst into q gem, whereupon Bacchus turned the gem into wine color and endowed the wearer with the gift of preservation from intoXication.
 The pearl was thought to be dew drop the shell had opened to receive. Amber was said to be honey melted by the sun, dropped into the sea and con gealed. According to the Talmud, Noah had no light in the ark but that which came from precious stones.-Gentle- mans Magazine.

GERMAN ARMY OFFICERS.
The Abject Dcference Shown Them
 by Civilians Is Amazing.

The respect and deference shown to the German army officer on duty and off duty by his countrymen are won derful to see, according to a London writer. Civilians, even compatriots of distinction. on entering the dining room bow to him with formal humility. He acknowledges the obeisances only with rigid glare of naughty indiffer- ence, though he is politely conscious of the coming and going of ladies. The German civilian does not appear to be surprised at or to resent being con- temptuously ignored by him, but rec ognizes him and looks up to him as superior member of superior race and continues to make his obeisances. however loftily they are ignored.
 "Rut. while the officer is unable to see the civilian at whom he is looking point blank. he never misses observ- ing the entrance and acknowledging the salute of another of his own race. Ec rises from Ifs seat and stands stiff and erect while the newcomer ad- vances and exchanges formal bows and greetings. and as he recovers the erect position from the bow he brings his heels together with sharp parade click and waits until his superior has taken seat before he resumes his own"

Hon. Dan. A. Grosvenor. of the famous
 Ohio Family.

Ohio Family.
 Hon. Dan. A. Grosvenor, Deputy Auditor for the War Department. in q letter written from Washington, D. C., says:
 "AIIow me to express my gratitude to you for the benefit derived from one bottle of Peruna. One week has brought wonde rfuI changes and am now as we'll as ever. Besides being one of the very best spring tonics it is an excellent catarrh remedy" Very respectfully, Dan. A. Grosvenor.
 Hal P. Denton, Chief National Ex. port Exposition, Philadelphia, Pa., writes: 'I was completely run down from over-work and the responsibility naturally connected with the eXploita- tion of great international exposition. My physician recommended an extend- ed vacation. When life seemed almost a burden began taking Peruna, and with the use of the fifth bottle l found myself in normal condition. have since enjoyed the best of health.
 Almost everybody needs tonic in the spring. Something to brace the nerves, invigorate the brain, and cleanse the blood. That Peruna will do this is beyond all question. Every one who has tried it has had the same experience as Mrs. D. W. Timber lake, of Lynchburg, Va., who, in recent letter, made use of the follow ing words: 'I always take dose of Peruna after business hours. as it is a great thing for the nerves. There is no better spring tonic, and 1 have used about all of them.

Wards Minstrels are booked at

This same aggregation of fakes
appeared at this house about this
time last season. 1t was at this
same performance the manager or
dered the official programs chucked
into the stove that he might cut
performance in halves without the
audience detecting it.
They had fairly good band and
made a very good appearance on
parade, but the quality of goods
d1shed out from behind the foot
lights was pronounced by all who
were so unfortunate as to be pres
ent- even the manager of the house
to be the worst.
Of course we do not know what
they show will be this season, but we
do know that Mr.. Ward telegraphed
his advance agent after billing
here that Union City was rotten.
In our humble Judgment you will
make no mistake by giving this
troupe a wide, wide path.
The price of admission will be
seventy-fve cents, and the show
last year was said to lack at least
this amount of being worth any
thing. The day for such "Billy-in-

prosper in Union City has passed.
