Interesting Data About the Magic
star Gem Of CazIon.

St0E OGAA OF COEAOns
Familiar to some of the ancient
writer's and credited with supernatural
powers, the astoria, or star gem, was
highly valued for the benefits sup
posed to be conferred on the wearer
It's bright, six rayed star. ever chang
ing and shifting with every play Of
light and especially shooting out its
flames In the direct sunlight, would
seem to be something more than an
ordinary crystal, and to the superFti-
tious mind it could readily be believed
to embody some tutelar spirit. The
particular virtue attributed to this gem
was the comforting upon the wearer Of
health and good fortune when worn
as an amulet, and to those fortunate
to be born in the month Of April, with
which the stone was associated or rep
resented, the wearer was insured from
all evil. The star stone IL found prin-
cipally in Ceylon, invariably in soil
peculiar to rubies and sapphires. In
deed 1t is composed Of the same con-
stttuent ''corundum," its chatoyant, or
star rays, being caused by the pres
sure of what the natives call silk"
1t is found in many different colors,
from pale blue, pink and white to deep
dark blue, ruby and purple. The blue
are termed sapphire stars, the red
ruby stars. 1t is always cue en-
cabochon, the star dividing into six
rays at the apex 1t is next In hard

tools as rude and simple as his fore
fathers used 1000 years before, with
no training or instruction except the
unwritten mysteries OF the craft hand

many instances rival the more edu-

"Oh, Abraham chuckled the girl.

AS Jerry finished his talk the girl
broke into laughter and kept it up for
five minutes. She laughed in half a
dozen keys, and there was sarcasm
as well as humor in her tones. Then
she sang u verse of a topical song.
Then she screwed up her face and in
whining tones gave them an imitation
Of beggar soliciting aims. Then she
turned cart wheels twice around the
room, INDUCED in half a dozen somer-
saults and finished with low courte-
sy and the words:

With that she went Gathering down
stairs, and not a hand was lifted to
prevent her. The three men smoked
in silence for five minutes, and then
Jerry Palmer heaved a sigh and said:

The battle of the herrings was the
comical name given to Aght between
an English force and French de-
tachment not far from Orleans in
1929. The English were conveying a
large quantity Of supplies. mainly
behring's, for it was Lent, to the army
that was besieging Orleans. The Eng
lish had 1000 men, the French 5000
The former repulsed the assaiIants and
saved the behring's. SO the battle was
named in honor Of the supplies.

Says writer In the London Chroni-
Gle: "A vulgarism-one which, like 'ag-
gravate' for 'lrritate, has come into
use by way Of the kitchen stairs-is
'demean,' with sense Of derogation
or abasement 1t is to be seen In many
a paper and even many a book and
heard in many speech. 1t is the sec
ond syllable that has misIed the popu-
lar understanding, but the noun de
meanor' should have saved the edu-
Gated from their blunder with the verb.
When the cook refuses to 'demean her
self she is excusable, because de-
meanor' is Rot in her vocabulary"

To Ten a Persons Age,

This method Is the easiest and best
one known. Let the person whose age
is to be discovered do the figuring.
Suppose, for example, a girl is thirteen
and wac born in November, put down
the number Of the month. (November
is the eleventh monthly
Multiply by 11x2=22.
Add s. 2245=27
Multiply by 3d. 27x50=l350
Add age Q3). 135O+1S=1363
Subtract 365. 1858 = S65=ee8
Add lis. 99s+1l5=1113
AS she answers 1113, tell her her age
is thirteen and November is her birth
month. This test never fails up to
100. In computing ages under ten a
cipher will appear prefxed in the re-
suit. but no notice is taken of 1t.

Bells have been employed in associa-
ton with religious worship since the
early days of Egypt. Cymbals and
hand bells and small crotals served for
the festival of Isis. Aaron and other
Jewish high priests wore bells Of gold
upon their raiment. In camp and gar
rison the Greeks employed bells. The
Romans announced the hour of bathing
by their melody. Copper and tin. the
old composition, is still regarded as
the best bell metal Steel has been
tried, but does not make a successful
