"Peruna is the best medicine know

THE BIRTHSTONE FAD.
After "a Lapse of Some Years 1t Has
Been Taken Up Once More by
Society's Leaders.

Old saws and superstitions associate
percious stones with the signs of ma
tivity. According to the old astrol-
opers the import of the different pre-
cious stones is altered somewhat when
they are considered with reference to
the planets, and only certain of the
vast array of stones have potent in
fuences. Thus classified May, June
and December are the months most
lucky to be born in-lucky, that is, so
far as material benefits are consid-
cred. But other months augur good
character influences, and no month of
the twelve but offers home inducement
to the mortal born within its orbit.
Even October, with whose governing
influences the opal is interviewer, en-
dows her children with hope and
strong optimistic leanings.
January's child has the garnet for
birthstone. With it go the attributes
c. integrity, generosity and the pow
er to attract many friends.
February's nestlings must wear
amethvsts. The birth augury is a
mild, pacific disposition, refined tastes
and a smoothly uneventful course
through life.
The bloodstone is identified with
the career of the person born in
March. 1t signifies wisdom, courage,
self-control, all the dominating quail
tiles.
Apri's child has for birthstone the
diamond. typical of innocence and
highmindedness
The emerald has to do with the child
born in May. 1t is a most favorable
natal stone, signifying future
Astounding in love and happiness.
June has the agate as keystone to
long life, wealth and felicity, with no
modifying auguries to cloud the horo-
scope.
July has for guiding star the ruby,
importing good temper, calmness, pa
tience-the temperament that is con-
tent with a small share of life's vani-
ties.
August is coupled with the sardonyx
and implies for that person born with
in it's sphere strong love of family and
many of the domestic virtues. Pride
is indicated. but not arrogance.
The sapphire, for September, in
sures it's BARNS a fine sense of justice
and philosophic temperament, favor
ing peace and ease Of mind.
October has the opal for birthstone.
It's wards are born optimists, looking
ever on the bright side, and comfort
able companions to live with. 1t is be-
lieved that most of the indomitable en-
thusiasts and Missionaries come into the
world in October.
The child born in November is by ma
ture loyal. The topaz is his ruling in
fuence, signifying warm heartedness
and a proneness to put sentiment be-
fore business.
December has the turquoise for a
talisman. Children born within these
81 days are endowed with ability for
getting on in the world. Success is
their manifest destiny, not to be
avoided.
The old treatises on birthstones and
their meanings are set forth in the in
volved old-fashioned language that
has gathered ceremony as it has
changed tongues in many TRANSACTIONS.
But the above represents the mean
ings which have come down to mod
ern times, and which the jewelers. take
for standard in filling orders for
ustomers.-N. Y. Sun.

LOVES THE PRAIRIES.
Miss Anna Gray Is d eHghted with He1
western Canada Home.

Anna C. Gray is young lady, for
merly of Michigan. She is now a
resident of Western Canada, and the
following published in the Brown
City (Mich.) Banner are extracts
from a friendship letter written
about March Is to one of her lady
friends in that vicinity. In this let
ter is given some idea of the climate,
social, educational and religious con-
ditions of Alberta, the beautiful land
of sunshine and happy homes. Over
one hundred thousand Americans
have made Western Canada their
home within the past five years, and
in this year upwards of $4,000 will
take up homes there.
Miss Gray took her leave for Dds
bury, Alberta, the home of her sister
and other relatives and friends on
Jan. 10 last, and after two months
soiourn in her western prairie home,

Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents

Peruna is called tonic. Peruna does

1t gives strength by preserving the

HIS FIRST
WATCH&&
Bv w. l.. WAT S 0 N

I + did not come from his mother. Oh,
| no. Mummy was not a present
giyer except on birthdays and at
Christmas time. In fact Mummy was
not associated in his mind with presents
at all. He rather thought of Mummy
as the person who very often did not
give him the things he wanted. But
she was Mummy, just Mummy, and a
hundred presents could not alter that
fact His little life was made up of
Mummy and his meals, with his father
as very irregular, but on the whole
rather nice, if not very understand
able, person, thrown in. Sunday was
Daddy's day. He had a vague idea
that Daddy had made Sunday to rest
in, and although nurse and Mummy
said it was another Persons day, he
considered that his father had had q
good deal to do with the arranging of
it. As for Auntie, she who gave him
the presents and never found fault
with him, he figured her forth as a
! lady bountiful, who, fortunately, did
not know how bad he could be at
times. 1T was clear to him that
Mother never told her about his pun
isments, Mothers own boy, the boy
of the tears, and the penit ence, and
the promises to be good in the future,
and the kiss and the cuddIe on the
pillow, and the last goodnight, ten
times repeated when the light went
out and he was left alone-Mother's
own boy reckoned on secrecy. Of
course, Daddy was told occasionally;
and SO far he had observed without any
of the threatened evil consequences;
and Daddy took strange views of
things which Mummy and her boy saw
very we'll only showed how little he
knew of their world.
When Mother went away on a visit,
she took home with her, and the
house seemed empty. His voice echoed
when Mummy's ears were not there
to catch it; the doors creaked strange
| ly, and at night the stars stared in
upon him threateningly, saying:
"Now I've got you alone" No one else
was Of use against these stars. He
| felt it would be wise really to pray to
God till Mother came back. 1t was at
one of these times that Auntie got her
self put into his prayer. She left to his
own wit what he should say, and as she
had promised him something special
soon, he added to his nightly list:
"Keep Auntie good" She kissed him,
punched the pillow all wrong, and left
him to the long night. No toy that he
could think of would save him from the
silence, and the stars, and the echoes
in the house. When Mother came
back. and home returned, then he be-
gan to reckon the days till Auntie's
present was due. 1t was to be given
to him after tea on Friday. On Tues
day he plunged deep into knowledge
and philosophy. There were "a hours
in each day, out of which he slept ten.
IF l am good boy, Mummy, and
go to bed always at nine, and never
call YOU back, the time will pass quick,
won't it?"
''And if l sleep an hour longer in the
morning and don't make noise to
waken Daddy, there will be less time,
won't there?"
could l sleep a whole day if I lay
stil and just forgot?'
There is no fear of the clock stop

HIT By THE TRUST.

The expected has happened. The tobac-
co trust has sent the price of tobacco down
to or below the cost of production, in the
face of the fact that the crop is known to be
much less than an average. Last year the
pames were both on the markets in North
Carolina and the crop was larger than
this year. And yet competition forced
fair prices. Toward the close of the season
these two giant trusts united and almost
Immediately the price of tobacco went
down twenty-five per cent.
A telegram from Wilson elsewhere shows
that the trust has made up its mind to
take this years crop at the cost of produc-
the floor of the warehouses and carted it
back home rather than sell it below the
cost of production. There is not better
tobacco market in the South than Will
son. 1t is the largest bright leaf tobacco
market in the State. It's tobacco people
are second to none in enterprise and fair
ness. They always pay the highest price
the market affords. No other town can
or will pay better prices. The reduction
in Wilson shows that the trust has push
ed the price down. go it is excellent to
have the strength of a giant, but it is
tyrannous to use it as a giant
What will the farmers do about it? Will
they haul their tobacco to market and give
it to the trust? or will they hold it? A
serious question confronts them and all
the tobacco section, calling for considera-
ton and united action.
