Lucid1y Explained.

The colonel stopped his team before
the cabin Of an Arkansas squatter to
say to the man sitting on log at the
door:
when I was along here month ago
and asked you how far 1t was to Col
fax, you said it was twelve miles. It's
only nine. Why didn't you say nine%
ut was the old woman's fault" re-
piled the squatter. Il wasn't suah
whether it was nine or twelve, and so
/ went in and axed her. She reckoned
1t was twelve, and had to reckon the
same or have row. When reckoned
as she reckoned, she reckoned that
you'd reckon 1t was twelve miles nigh
enough, and reckon you reckoned that
way"

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 dottlngs Of azure
or lacquer. Ethiopia produced the
most precious ancient carbuncles. The
Chaldeans regarded this stone as a
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.
