Victoria, who was blessed with pro-
verbal luck, was very fond of these
stones and presented each of her
daughters upon their marriage with a
parure of opa1s and diamonds. Tt cam
not be said that these marriages have
been otherwise than fruitful and pros
porous A lady in waiting once said
to the late Queen: ST am surprised.
Your Majesty, that you are so fond of
opals, as they are known to be so I'M
lucky" The Queens reply was as fol-
lows: "Queen Elizabeth always wore
opals, and I have always worn them,
and we have always found them lucky
stones The opal, too, is a favorite
stone in the German royal family. The
ex-Empress Eugene, on the contrary
steadily refused to wear oDals of any
description, and her life was full Of
vicissitude and disaster.
If we go back to the times of the
ancient Romans, we find no trace
whatever of any i'll repute attaching to
the "opa1us.'' The esteem with which
this stone was regarded by them was
very marked "Of all precious stones,
writes Pliny, 1.-The opal is the most diff
cult to describe, since it combines in
one gem the beauties of many species,
the fire of the carbuncle, the purple of
the amethyst, the green of the
emerald, and the yellow of the topaz"
We learn from the same writer that
the Senator Nonius possessed a valu-
a bile ring, in the center of which was
set an opal about the size of a hazel
nut This ring was coveted by Marc
Antony. and Nonius sooner than lose
his precious jewel escaped from the
country, carrying the ring with him as
the sole relic of his fortune. He pre-
ferred exile with his opal to living in
Rome without it.-St James Gazette.

ARE OPALS
UNL-UCKY !?

If the average person YVES asked his
or her opinion of opals, the reply would
almost invariably be of this nature:
"Opals are certainly very beautiful
but then you know, it is so unlucky
to wear them, unless you happen to
be born in October
| The origin of superstition is al
ways hard to find and no exception can
be made in the case of the one con-
corning the opal. 1t is not at all un-
| likely that the widespread feeling of
distrust with which the opal is re-
garded originated with the narrative
of Donnerhugel in Sir Walter SCOTS
| novel. ''Anne of Geierstein.' Tt will
be remembered how the mysterious
and Inflated Baroness Hermione in
variably wore in her auburn tresses a
| golden clasp which was ornamented
with a superb opal. This gem, which
! moments while her hair was being
conbed, was possessed of a peculiar
quality. When the Baroness became
animated the jewel displayed a twink
ling and flashing glearn which seemed
to be emitted by the gem itself and
not produced in the usual manner by
the reflection of external light. When
the beautiful wearer was agitated by
hasty or brief resentment, dark red
sparks seemed to flash from the mystic
brooch as if it sympathized with it's
mistress's emotions. The Baroness
was particularly apprehensive when
any water was brought near 1t. and
when. at the christening of her child,
a drop of holy water lighted on the
opal it will be remembered how the
stone shot out a spark like a falling
star and instantly became lightless and
coloriess as a common pebble The
Baroness sank to the ground with a
cry of pain, and was carried to her
chamber a dying woman. This mys-
sterious lady, who had appeared so
suddenly, disappeared as suddenly,
for few houns afterward nothing
could be seen of the late Baroness ex
cept handful of light gray ashes
1t may be considered improbable
that so prevalent superstition should
be based on such slender grounds as
fairy tale in one of Sir Walter SCOTS
novels, but such appears to be the case,
as it would be difficult to find an actual
case where the successive wearers of
an opal have been logged with bad
luck. Such stories are FREQUENT, but
their origin, like that of so MANY ghost
stories, is probably entirely mythical.
1T is possible, however, that the So I
called i'll luck of the opal is due to the
fact that the stone is q soft one. and /
II exposed to constant friction is liable |
to become loose and fall out. 1t is very
necessary that opals should be securely /
set, but. whatever the setting. it is al |
ways advisable to give the stones a /
careful scrutiny from tine to time and /
not to expose them to undue wear and
tear If this is done. there seems to
be no valid reason why the opal should
be regarded as bringing i'll luck to the
wearer. Judging from history. the
reverse seems to he the case.
1t is well known that the late Queen

| With yesterdays performance of
| 1.-THE House that Jack Built the oper-
eta season came to an end. The whole
engagement was a great success and
the kindergarten Association will net
tidy sum for its maintenance.
The Opera House was crowded with
little folks and the auditorium was as
animated as the subsequent scenes
shown from behind the footlights. The
play was given even better than on
the preceding two nights and ended
with three cheers from the partici-
pants.
Everybody did wei and the little
folks on the stage seemed to take con-
siderable pride in playing their best
for their audience of youngsters.
The whole operetta reflects great
credit, not alone upon Miss Martin who
so ably directed the affair, but upon
Mrs. Walter Hoffman,, president of
the kindergarten Association. and the
other officers of the association, and
their large staff of willing workers.
Seldom has an entertainment given so
much genuine pleasure to Honolulu
people.
No other performance will be given
as the players are tired out with con-
slant rehearsals and the productions
proper, and there has been no little
wear and tear on the parents, their
duty having been to escort the actors
and actresses to and from the Opera
House.

Rain Brought by Artillery Fire.

As early in the war as the siege Of
Lexington, Mo-, which ended on Sept.
20, 1861, In the surrender of Col. Null
ligan to the Confederates, the fact
that heavy artillery firing was usually
followed by rain had already been
noticed In the west. On the 18th
the beleaguered garrison was cut off
from the river and thus deprived of
water; but to encourage tina soldiers
to hold out as long as possible for the
arrival Of the expected reinforce
ments, 1t was represented to them by
their officers that the carnonading
would surely bring rain t., quench
their thirst. And this prediction was
fulfilled; though, unfortunately, they
had no way to catch the water which
their firing had drawn from the sky
except by spreading their blankets
to the shower and then wringing them
out.
In the south, as well as in the east
and west, rain followed heavy can
nonading. One engagement rear Fort
Pickens, Florida. was an early in
stance. Flag officer William w. Nc
Kean, commanding the Gulf blockad
ing squadron, in report to the Sec.
rotary of the Navy, dated Nov. Is,
1861, thus mentions the circum-
stances. He says: "Sir-I have the
honor to inform you that OIL the 2od

Brown of Fort Pickens, and the
