The Ruby.

There are four degrees of merit in
the ruby class. The first is the deep
blood red oriental ruby-the "cochineal
red"-pure. suggestive, without adj
mixture Of the brown or violet The
second is the spinel, almost as beauti-
full as the oriental but shade less
rich, less supreme in color. The third
is the balas. rose red ruby, valuable
in proportion to its depth of tint and
esteemed perfect only when it attains
a certain size and weight A small
pale balas ruby is Of very meager
value. The fourth is the almandine, or
rubicele. of a yellowish red, oftentimes
tinged with brown. The Brazilian to-
paz is not infrequcntly made to pass
for balas ruby. 1t Is heated in a cruel
BILE filled with sand, which drives off
the yellow and fills in the rose red tint
of the balas ruby. Garnets, too. have
often done duty for rubies, and many

bies and carbuncles all in a heap to-
gether.

Sundax Dyspepsia.

SUNDAY dyspepsia is what you
have" said the doctor, smiling.
Sunday dyspepsia?"
Eyes, and it is not rare complaint
either. 1t is due to this bad habit Of
eating foolishly and gluttonously on
Sunday. Through the week you eat
like sensible mana moderate break
fast early a light luncheon and a
good substantial dinner at the end Of
the day. But on Sunday you eat Il
heavy breakfast at 10 or H. At 1 you
sit down to an enormous dinner, stuff
ing yourself without appetite, and at
$50, when you are really hungry, you
eat light, unsatisfactory food, like Sar-
atoga chips and lettuce sandwiches-in
a word, a Sunday supper The result
Of this change for the worse, made
once a week by millions Of men, Is
