DONKEYS FIGURE IN HISTORY
Merits of Patient Creatures Have
Been Sung by Poets and Depicted
by Painters.

The common or garden" donkey is
one of the most laughed-at animals,
and few of us pause to think what a
figure this stubborn but patient crea-
ture has made in literature, art, and
history. The very first picture the
visitor to the London National gallery
sees as he enters the building is a
beautifully painted ass upon which
the Virgin sits with her Infant Son. 1t
is Holman Hunts Triumph of the In
nocents." Balaam's ass has passed
into a proverb of the foolish instruct
ing the wise! There is, too, the
Golden ass of Apuleius, romance Of
the Second century, BalZac with his
"Ass's Skfn,' Sancno PanZa with his
adored donkey, and Sterne with that
dead donkey which he has immortal
lied. Then who can forget Robert
Louis Stevenson's delightful travels
With Donkey" where the donkey is
almost as entertaining as the author?
There was, too, the famous donkey Of
Mafeking, and Hail Bey's donkey
WHICH was SIldNeu vi us ears Dy a
British shot, and there was Matanza's
mule killed in Cuba-but that was
only half donkey! King Midas was
said to have ass's ears, and it was upon
an ass that Mohammed went to para
disc to learn the will of Allah. 1t was
named AL Borak (the lightning), so it
must have been the swiftest ass on
record

GEMS NOT TRUE TO COLOR
Popular FaIiacyto Ascribe to Precious
Stones 5tues That May Be
Called Definite.

Story writer's talk of the sky being
as blue as q sapphire, or Of wild
beasts eyes glowing as yellow as
topaz.
Most Of us ARE under the impression
that we can recognize gems by their
colOrs, and that certain cOlOrs belong
definitely to certain stones.
Quite q mistake There is hardly a
precious stone which is always true to
color. Diamonds, of course, vary
greatly. The famous Hope diamond
is a real and most beautiful blue.
Green diamonds are found, and 9TH
ers of a lovely crimson, but these are
very rare Black diamonds are COM
mon enough.
Black pearls are rarer. but are
found. Pink pearls are greatly priced.
One of the finest in existence was
found in a fresh water mussel in the
Mississippi river and is valued at $15,-
600. Off the Pearl islands, south tOf
Panama, pearls are found which are
lead-gray and also green.
Sapphire mines in the Rocky noun
tains produce stones which touch the
whole color scale from blue and red
to an exquisite purple.
In Rhodesia is found a topaz of a
most lovely pale blue. Yet the chem
icai composition of the gem proves lit
to be Identical with the yellow topaz.
The coIOrs of most gems are more
or less fugitive. That is, under Ger
tain circumstances they are liable to
fade. Take two rubies exactly similar,
shut one in the dark, and leave the
other exposed to full sunlight, and at
the end of two years there will be a
distinct difference between them. The
one that has been exposed to the light
will be decidedly paler than the other.
Similar results may be observed
with beth emeralds and sapphireS
Garnets also will turn lighter, while
in the case of the topaz, sunlight ends
by diminishing and dufling the color

Dachshund a Hunting DoQ.

The dachshund is true hound and
is used for hunting in Europe, espe-
cially for getting foxes and other such
animals out of holes, as it is a great
digger, and it's peculiar build enables
1t to go down relatively small hole,
1t has an excellent nose, and will trail
rabbits, foxes and other game with
great tenacity, but it is little used for
hunting in this country because 1t is
hard to train and manage, paying little
attention to orders, and doing as 1t
pleases. If the game goes to earth, 1t
is almost impossible to get the dachs-
hund away until it has been dug out.
This breed is of great antiquity, one
Of its kind being painted on an Egyp-
tian monument of 1000 B. @.

If a teacher in a public school in
