LEGEND OF THE TOPAZ.
'7SShy the Jewel Is Called the Stone
of Gratitude.


yhe topaz is called the stone of graft
1ude, and the old Roman books record
xhs following legend. from which the
stone derives this attribute:
The blind Emperor TheOdosius used
20 hang a brazen gong before his pal
ace, gates and sit beside it on certain
days, hearing and putting to rights the
grievances of any of his subjects.
Those who wished for his advice and
help had but to sound the gong, and
Immediately admission into the pres
esnce of Caesar was obtained One day
- great snake crept up to the gate and
strnck the brazen gong with her coils
and Theodosius gave orders that no one
should modest the creature and babe
her tell him of her wish.
The snake bent her crest lowly in
homage and straightway told the fol-
owing tale:
Her nest was at the base of the gate
way tower and while she had gone to
flnd food for her young brood a strange
beast, covered with sharp needles, had
invaded her home. killed the nestlings
and now held possession of the little
dwelling. Would Caesar grant her JUS
lice?
The emperor gave orders for the por-
s=up1ne to be slain and the mother to be
restored to her desolate nest Night
fell, and the sleeping world had for
gotten the emperor's kindly deed, but
with the early dawn a great serpent
glided into the palace. up the steps and
isato the royal chamber and laid upon
ZACH of the emperor's closed eyelids q
cleaning topaz.
when the Emperor Theodosius awoke
ne was no longer blind, for the mother
snake had paid her debt of gratitude.

There is Il certain kind of butter,
known as "cotentin," that has brought
both fame and money to It's makers in
Normandy. This popular luxury re-
tails in Paris for $1.25 a pound, and
there is apparently never enough on
hand to satisfy the regular consumers.
The dairymen of Normandy, however,
in return for this liberal patronage ex-
ercise every possible precaution in the
manufacture of their expensive prod
uct The cows are brushed and kept
perfectly clean, the udders are washed
and dried, and the attendants and
mixers are themselves scrupulously
clean. The rich milk is doubly strain
ed, the churning being conducted on
strictly modern scientific principles.
No doors are allowed to come in con-
tact with the milk at any time, even
the food and water of the cows being
rigidly inspected. After such care and
precaution these energetic and consci-
e1tious dalrymen do indeed deserve the
fame and fortune that have come to
them.
