In France II is permissible for wo-

they are bearded. This Information

Gold.

gold Is In the eleventh verse of the
second chapter Of Genesis. or, in other
words, 4,0O4 years before Christ Gold
was used as money by the ancient
Egyptians at a very early date. He
rodotus tells that the invention of the
coinage Of gold belongs to Lydia, about
$50 B. C. Authorities conflict about
the first coinage of gold. Some say it
was Miletus and some the Persians,
but there are no records to show just
when.

Kino's Watch in Pawn.

A time-honored London tavern, the
Castle, at the corner of Cowcross
street, facing harrington street, en-
joys the unique distinction of being
also a fully-licensed pledge shop.
Over door in the bar, which gives
access to the landlords private room,
and thrown into bold relief by the
official document behind it, the his.
toric three-sphered symbol is dis
cernible. Anyone may here negotiate
a loan upon his personal belongings
without being under the necessity OF
first calling for refreshment.
This strange combination Of bust.
ness dates from the reign of George
w., who, after attending a cock fight
at Hockley-in-the-Hole, applied to the
landlord Of the castle for a temporary
accommodation on the security of his
watch and chain.
By royal warrant a few days later
he invested that obliging boniface
with the right Of advancing money on
pledges, and from that time down to
the present pawnbroker's license
has been annually granted to the
Castle. This hostelry is mentioned
once or twice by Dickens.-Stray

R. |. S. IN THE ADIRONDACKs
ease There, Seemed Indifferent
to the Laws of Health.

Robert Louis Stevenson, for so wise
a man, seems to have been singularly
unaware of, or Indifferent to, the laws
Of health, but that too, may have
been part of his wisdom. He spent
the winter of 1887 in the Adirondacks
struggling against the disease which
was not to subdue him for seven
years. He lived in a little cottage that
was much overheated and from which
all ventilation was carefully excluded.
The smoke of his incessant cigarettes
obscured the atmosphere and perhaps
helped to drive away the visitors who
came to gaze upon him as one gaZes
at lion in den. Fashionable call
ers were specially unwelcome and
Stevenson once remarked, according
to an account in the Medical Record,
that cit isn't the great unwashed
which I dread, but the great washed"
But whoever else was unwelcome
there was always a greeting for Rich
ard Mansfield. 1t is an impressive, al
most a tremendous picture, that of the
clouded room fitfully lit by the flames
of the log fire and Stevenson huddled
close to the warmth while Mansfield
at the other end of the rooom gave his
weird impersonation of DR., JekyIl
and Mr.. Hyde. 1t must have been like
God looking upon his handiwork and
finding it good.

"A" To the tops of these uprights
the hammock is swung Advantages
of this support are that the two ends
can be moved as far apart or as close
together as the telescoping bar will
permit, and the uprights may be CIV
en- any slant desired by means of
brace rods, which fit into holes bored
at intervals along the bottom. The
whole thing can be taken apart and
folded into a small space when not
in use or can be put up in the house
as well as outdoors. A canopy can be
made to shield any person using the
hammock from the sun.

ALL AUTHORS ARE TALKATIvE
If You Know One, Be TactfuI and let
Him Converse About His
Work.

I know nothing about really great
authors, but l think l speak for
large number of the followers of the
trade when I say that they like to
talk about their work, one great rea-
son being that writing is lonely pro-
fession. If you write, as a rule you
must do it by yourself; or if you do
attempt 1t in company, you or the
company will be sorry. Therefore,
when the writing is done, and a sym.
pathetic listener offers, the writer is
glad to wipe out some of the lonely
hours with a little conversation.
So, if you know an author, don't be
too breathless about his calling; treat
him like human being. Let him talk
little, and do not be shocked if he
manages to keep the tears back when
he tells you about his last short
story. Only, be tactful.
Do not say, as an eager acquaint-
ance once said to me: ooh, I do think
1t is so interesting to write. 1t must
be just fascinating when your manu-
scripts come back!" I discovered af-
terward that she meant proofs in
stead Of manuscripts, but the mistake
Of just that single word made me,
who am usually so garrulous about
my trade, feel for the time being that
I really did not care ever to speak
Of it again. So I repeat, let the poor
author talk, but be tactful.- Atlantic
Monthly.

HUNTING FOR BLACK 0PALs
Gem Is Found in Matrix of rohstone
and Sandstone in Australia
Sapphres Rank Next.

The gem most sought after in Aus
tralia is the black opal, declares a
writer in the Daily Consular and
Trade Reports 1t appears in limited
quantities in the matrix of ironstone
and sandstone in the lightning Ridge
district of New South Wales. 1t is
estimated that since 1890 opals val
ued at over $5,500,000 have been found
in the state of New South Wales. The
state OF Queensland also produces
many opals, the production up to the
present time amounting to nearly
S1,0OO,00O.
Sapphires rank next among Aus
tralian gems in value of production.
They are found in New South Wales
and in Queensland, chiefly in the lat
ter state, in the gravel or creek beds.
The gems show excellent fire and
luster, but the color is darker blue
than the oriental sapphire In Queens
land the present production amounts
to about $4,000 per year, the total
output to date being about 100000.
Other precious gems found in diff
ferent parts of Australia include emer-
aids, turquoises, topazes, ircons, gar
nets, rubies, amethysts, tourmalines
and beryls. Diamonds are found to a
limited extent in New South Wales
and in South Australia In the latter
state the total production up to date
has been somewhat over 100000.
These diamonds found locally are
used mostly for glass cutting, while
South African diamonds are mostly
used in the jewelry trade. Pearls
found in pearl shall fishing along the
northern coast of Australia are usual
ly small, but their aggregate value is
probably considerable
