Superstitions About Gems.

Garnets are supposed to bring health
and happiness, and are emblematic of
truth and constancy. The ancients be-
lieved that garnets emitted light in the
darkness.
Crystal brings sound sleep and pleasant
dreams,
Contrary to general superstition, the
opal is only unlucky when it passes out
of the owners possession. If never part
ed from, opals bring luck; but it is when
they change hands that they bring mis-
fortune to their original owner.
A wealthy woman once possessed two
very magnificent opals. Her friends
were always entreating her to dispose Of
them, TILL at last, tired out with their
representations, she presented the stones
to church, where they were used as or
naments to the chalice. Very soon after
wards, one of her children died, and mis-
fortune and poverty fell upon her family.
Coral is supposed to be n talisman
against witchcraft, and perils of food
and field.
Pearls mean tears.
Agates symbolic long life, and were
once held to have the property of quench-
ing thirst, if held in the mouth.

FRUITS FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
Plums and Peaches Brought from tn
Other Hemisphere,

Other Hemisphere.
Among the fine and costly fruits now
in market are English dollhouse grapes,
which come from the Isle of Guernsey.
They were selling last week at $3.50
a pound. A little earlier in the season
they will go down to 81. South African
peaches sold here last week at 70 cents
each, though this Is not the highest price
paid for peaches, dollhouse peaches,
when they are obtainable in the market,
running up to $1.25 apiece.
Japanese plums from South Africa
sold last week for 20 cents apiece, and
good fancy South African nectarines for
81 dozen. All the South African fruits
sold here are grown in the open air. Ii
Is a rather far country, South Africa,
TO bring fruits from, but it doesn't take
so long to get them from there as might
be imagined. AS q matter of fact, in
these days of fast steamers and close
connections, only about four weeks is re-
quired.
There is no great quantity of these
South African fruits brought to New
\ FORK, but it is greater than it was.
Fruits from this source of supply are q
novelty, for one thing, and they help,
by chinking in to make the supply of
those sorts of fresh fruits continuous

new here, which may yet be novel to

STOPPING THE PLAGUE,
Salmon Defends Policy Of the Govern.
ment In kiiIino Diseased Cattle.

Boston, Dec. 28.-Dr. d. Z. Salmon,
chief Of the United States bureau Of
animal industry, has issued state
ment regarding the prosecution of the
work of exterminating the foot and
Mouth disease, and especially in an
swer to the forts of certain persons
who have Systematically tried to WORK
up sentiment against the killing Of
the herds affected. He says:
I'VE are Obliged to face the fact that
there are only two courses to pursue.
Either the diseased animals must all
be killed off and the contagion stamp
ed out Immediately, thus relieving the
state quarantine restrictions at the
earliest possible moment, or we must
sit down and watch the disease and
try by quarantine to prevent its
spreading.
How long the quarantine would
be prolonged in that case, and how
much the disease would spread can
not possibly be foretold. 1t is certain,
however, that everything which delays
the operations Of killing and disinfec-
ton will prolong the quarantine just
to the extent that such WORK is delay
ed and the 100000 day loss, more
or less. to the state. will continue for
corresponding period.
up to the present time 1900 head
Of cattle have been slaughtered in
Massachusetts, and If the work goes
on as it should with continued CO.
operation from the state officials and
with friendly public sentiment, all
of the known infected herds should be
killed and disposed of within the next
week or ten days. There is every rea-
son to believe that this will be &C

tons of coal for the La Guaira-Caracas
railway, a British concern, arrived OF
this port and was ordered to remain
outside the blockade line. Then
orders were conveyed to the captain
of the bark to leave. This step was
taken because the coal was consider
ed contraband of war. The vessel was
not seized, as she left Cardiff before
the trouble with Venezuela com
menced.
The captain of the Framnas Is

The Dutch consul here has asked
for permission of the commander of

trade with La Guaira, are at present
without provisions or water, their
sloops having been seized by the
blockaders. The schooner must carry
flag of truce. She can only take
enough provisions to last the trip, and
she will remove all the inhabitants of
Los Roques to Willemstad, Curacao,
and then return here.
Two schooners were captured yes

Ehlers family, in which the disease
was discovered on December IA. shows
two more victims. AS the outbreak
is in homes already under quarantine,
and where exposure assisted it, there
is no cause for alarm, If infection can
be baked elsewhere.
Health Officer High states that none
OF the infected parties were vaccinat,
ed, and attributes their present con.
dition to this omission.
The cases of smallpox as reported
Monday morning were as follows:
Mrs. Jens, 15S0k Union street;

Elmer Jens, 1901 Union street;
Charles Jens. 1900 Union street.
There are four additional cases in q

One Did Not Serve to Protect Money
of Theodore Fredricksen.

Omaha, Neb.. Dec. 27.-Theodore

journeyed to Omaha and brought a
large sized bank roll. Because of his
belief in pillow protection Fredrickson
now mourns the loss of $3.50 in crisp
government currency. which loss he
reported to the police.
Fredrickson came to the city on
business and before leaving Atlantic
drew from the bank nearly 5000 in
cash. This he placed in his inside
pocket, thinking that it would be Sc

ticed by the light-fingered gentry. Az
ter his arrival here he went to the
Klondike hotel and registered, retiring
about / o'clock. Between that hour
and o'clock a. m. his financial condi
ton underwent sudden change and
he was reduced nearly to poverty. Be
fore retiring he took the precaution to
protect his valuables by removing his
vest and placing it beneath his pillow.
Fredrickson did not awaken until early
in the morning and his first thought
was of his cash. Upon looking for his
temporary bank he found that during
the night some thief had entered his
room and removed the big roll with.
out awakening him, and hasty
search failed to produce any results
