Sure niKe.

I'D be a country editor" remarks a
contemporary, "and chase around for
news before I'd be a millionaire, with
wealth | could not Use. I'd rather be a
printer with patches on my breeches,
than be master of .s,nance,-Nsith all
my thoughts on riches. I'D rather eat
my modest meals. digest the same with
ease, than sit down to a royal feast
with a stomach like John DIS. To
r1mp and frolic with my kids around
our cheerful hearth, with their mother
for the audience, to help enjoy the
m rth is better than to move about in
high society, where dress and Jewels,
false display, make life a lhockery.
'Tis true the printers cash gets short
and duns come in hurry, but the hap.
py fellow does not fret, he lets the
'dunner worry. He always has a con-
science clear, a disposition sunny; he
knows that life has other joys besides
the chase for money. For the mould
er of opinion is happier man by far
than the man who owns palace, a
yacht and private car. And when he
goes to his reward he knows that all is
well, while the man who makes his
wealth his god may some day wake
in H -alifax."

one by one they disappear.
And at each succeeding roll call. fewer

Still their regiments are marching-

Let them rest in honored slumber,
while their praise from shore to shore,
Eighty million throats are swelling-we
are free forevermore!

FrAternIty. Charlty Ind LOyalty.

The greatest service the Grand Army
of the Republic has rendered is the
b ,autiful way in which it gives life to
the principles Of the organization fra
ternity, charity and loyalty.
That millions of men of every degree
of life and station should for 40 years
be bound together by this common bond
OF brotherhood is not only worthy Of ad-
miration, but also of imitation by the
Members of this republic.
Charity, or love, is the greatest thing
II the world, and love is the key to
every department of life, the founda-
ton Of patriotic teaching, the safety Of
the country, the home aud the individ-
ull.
Loyalty to their comrades, their or
ganization, their country and their God
has been fittingly illustrated IN the lives
of these boys in blue.
This trinity Of principles, il copied by
or $4,000, 600 citizens, would make us
the greatest nation on earth.

Concerning Jewels

THERE is hardly a precious stone that has
l. not some superstition connected with it.
The Neapolitans still wear amulets of coral to
avert the evil eye, and perhaps some will re-
member wearing string of amber beads about
their necks during their childhood to ward off
sore threats.
A piece of agate worn on the person is sup
posed to be an infalible guard against light
ming and some people have asserted that it
was also cure for thirst-what kind they did
not mention
The beryl was by the ancients supposed to
be sure cure for leprosy, and to promote hap
piness between and wife. Turquoise is
said to be protection against falls and sudden
injuries. The topaz was highly priced by the
ancients, who believed that it had magical
powers of dispelling entertainments and calming
frenzy.
The sapphire was believed by the ancients
to be emblematic of chastity. The pagans
dedicated it to Apollo.
The green emerald is held in high esteem by
the Peruvians, and the worshipers of Mantu
still believe that the mines whence are ex-
tracted all emeralds are guarded by terrible
genii and dragons.
Perhaps more superstition attaches itself to
the opal nowadays than to any other stone.
On the contrary the ancients considered that
this fiery gem had the power of rendering its
owner lovable, and also of bestowing on him
the gift of invisibility.

Potency of Gems

TN olden times astrologers had much faith
in the belief that the destiny of persons
born in certain months was governed by the
gem of which the month was symbolic. The
following is an old astrologer's table of months
and the precious stones that correspond to
them:
January-Ths jacinth or hyacinth, symbol
izing constancy and fidelity.
February-The amethyst, symbolizing peace
of mind and sobrety.
March-The bloodstone or jasper, symbol
izing courage and success in dangerous under
takings.
Apri-The sapphire and diamond, signifying
repentance and innocence.
May-The emerald, signifying success in
love.
June-The agate, symbolizing good health
and long life.
JulysThe carnelian, signifying cure of evil
resulting from forgetfulness.
August-The sardonyx or onyx, signifying
conjugal felicity
September-The chryso1ite, symboizing
preservation from folly or its cure
October-The beryl or opal, signifying hope
November-The topaz, signifying fidelity
and friendship.
DecemberIThe turquoise or ruby. SYM
bolizing brilliant success.

About Insects

TT is regarded as a death warning in Germany
L to hear a crcket's cry in the night.
The Koran says all flies shall perish with the
exception of one, the bee fly.
The Tapuya Indians of South America assert
that the Devil assumes the shape of fly, and
the Spaniards in the sixteenth century thought
that spiders indicated the existence of gold
wherever they were in abundance. Although
a sacred insect among the Egyptians, the
beetle receives little notice in folk lore. 1t is
unlucky in England to kill one.
The grasshoppers are said to forewarn people
in Germany of the visits of strange guests, and
the ancients believed that there close
connection between bees and the soul An
old Welsh tradition is that bees came from
Paradise, leaving the Garden when fell,
but with Gods blessing; SO that the wax is
necessary in the celebration of the mass All
beetles are detested in Ireland, and uneducated
people sometimes say even now that the sight
of a beetle is sure to bring rain storm next
day.

Symbolism of the Finger Nails

FINGER nails have from the earliest
L times been supposed to bespeak charac-
ter The old Saxons set great stock in this
belief, and the children of every family were
instructed in the signs of the nails
A white mark on the nail is supposed to fore
tell misfortune. Pale or lead colored nails in
dictate melancholy people. People with long
Broad nails indicate a gentle, bashful, and
generous nature. Lovers of knowledge and
sentiment usually have round nails. Small
nails indicate conceit, obstinacy, and littleness
of mind The finger nails of great soldiers
have generally been spotted or red. Nails
growing into the flesh at the points or sides
indicate sensuality and love of luxury.
