BIRTHSTONE OF JULY.

THE ruby, the natal stone for July,
is the gem of devotion. 1t is en-
blematic of passion, affection, power
and majesty. The ruby signifies vital
ity, life and happiness. and is consid-
cred a sovereign remedy and amulet
against plague, poison and evil spirits.
1t is believed to have the power of
diverting the mind from sadness,
sensuality and other mental Affections.
To this gem is attributed the magical
virtue of forewarning it's wearer of
the approach of any misfortune by
loss of color, and the unhappy wife
Of Henry VIII. Catherine of Aragon,
is said to have observed a change in
the color of her ruby ring before her
own fall. The ruby has the reputa-
ton of attracting and retaining ma
terial love and it was thought for this
reason Henry VIII of England wore
the ring, in which was set a ruby,
known as the "Regale of France"
The Arabian and Persian philoso-
piers taught that the ruby, especially
If worn on the left hand or left side
of the body, would obtain for it's
wearer peace of mind and strength of
brain. To dream of a ruby indicates
to the business man patronage and
success in trade, to the farmer a sue
cessful harvest and to the professional
man elevation to fame.
The ruby gets it's name from the

Inferior varieties of the ruby are

grades, comes only from Ceylon,
Burma and Siam; first, the light-red
Of Ceylon; second the carmine-red OF
Burma; third, the pigeon-blood-red OF
Burma, and fourth, the dark-red of
Siam. So aptly have the Burmese
compared the desired tone in ruby
color to the blood of a freshly killed
pigeon that the term pigeon blood

cious stones of all lands as the
