The origin Of coIors.

The cochineal bug furnishes many
of the most brilliant colors, including
the bright carmine, crimson, purple
lake and scarlet. The cuttlefish gives
the sepia, and Indian yellow comes
from the camel. Ivory chips produce
ivory black and bone black, and the
exquisite Persian blue was discovered
accidentally by fusing horses hoofs
and other refuse animal matter with
impure potassium carbonate. Crimson
lake comes from the roots and banks
of certain trees; blueblack from the
charcoal of the vine chalk; and Turkey
red comes from the root of the madder

Good Luck Stone.

All through the ages the ruby has
been called the stone of good luck
According to the old stories, whoever
owned a ruby would never fail in
anything he undertook, for that beau
tiful jewel held in its glowing red
heart a magic power which always
brought success. No matter how dan
gerous the task, the ruby was sure to
give courage and victory. In the days
of ancient Greece, when the rich man
wished to express to a friend good
wishes for wealth or honor, he sent
to him a ruby engraved with the fig
ures of an orator. Today the ruby is
considered the luckiest of stones,
though the good fortune, as we see it,
lies in the owning of anything so pre-
cious, for even the diamond is not so
valuable a gem. The ruby is the
stone Of July, and the fire which
abides in its red heart is truly typical
of that burning month of summer.
According to legend, however, this
fire varied with the fortune of the
owner. A popular superstition in re-
gard to the ruby was the belief in it's
power to foretell danger or disaster
by the changing of its color 1t was
a favorite talisman and love token in
the time of the Crusaders st. Mich,

Who can doubt or deny that the
Irish are born orators? Listen to
dispute between a couple of iaunting
car drivers and you will find mark

and that Of a couple Of London cab

Doll Dav In Japan.

In most countries a girl considers
her dolls and toys her own possessions
to appropriate at any and all times.
This is not SO with the Japanese girl.
To play with her dolls is an event
a joy which comes to her but once
year. There Is a party, also a meal
This is served on the floor, with some
sort Of sweets, and not to partake is
considered very bad form. The next
day the treasures are removed and
packed away, the girl longing for the
day when she shall again enjoy her
ever-increasing family. 1t is a com
mon thing to see as many as hum
dred dolls in one home.
