The Carbuncle.

3 One Of the rarest and most precious
stones is the carbuncle, which is some
times COMPOUNDED with the ruby, from
which it differs by the intensity Of its
fires, produced by an internal luster Of
gold, while under the purple of the ru-
by there only appear dottings of azure
or lacquer. Ethiopia produced tho
most precious ancient carbuncles. The
Chaldeans regarded this stone as
powerful talisman. Legend makes the
eyes Of dragons out Of carbuncles. Gar
cias alb Horto, physician Of one of the
viceroys of India, speaks of carbuncles
which he saw in the palace of that
prince which were so extraordinary in
their brilliancy that they seemed like
redhot Goals in the midst Of darkness"
Louis Vertoman reports that the king
Of Pegu wore an enormous one. which
at night appeared to be lighted up with
sunbeams. The virtues of the carbun-
Gle are resistance to fire, preservation
Of the eyes, promotion Of pleasant
dreams, creation Of happy illusions and
an antidote against impure air.

Dressing by Act 81 T,:s,-linment.

Dressing by Act ;,S i'tylinment.
The old sumptuary laws were those
regulations by which the dress and
food Of the Etags subjects were nicely
controlled. 1t was sort of official
Mrs. Grundy. Fashion regulations for
men in particular were laid down on
very precise lines, and the changes in
their attire occurred much more fire.
Quently than in women's. Very differ
ent is the case now. In those days..
too, mems dress was bright and even
gaudy.
Prior to 1104 long hair was the regu-
lation. In that year.. however, Henry
l., Of blessed memory to BARRIERS, had
all his subjects Locke ruthlessly shorn.
The next importala edict Of this kind,
was under Edward Ill, who insisted
that no one should have more than two
courses for dinner, except on the eight
cen holidays in the year, when the.
kings lieges might eat and drink at
will.
OF interest to ladies will be the hard
fate that befell the big sleeves worn
by men under Richard II. We are told
that some hung down to the knees.
When pottage is brought to the table
''the sleeves go into them and get the
first taste" In short, the nuisance was
so intolerable that a statute was passed
prohibiting any man below banneret
from wearing them.
