Ancients Saw Power
In Precious Stones

In ancient times marvellous proper
ties and powers for good and evil were
attributed to many precious stones, and
even today certain meanings are at
tached to some of them. OF course,
these meanings have no foundation in
fact. but it is interesting to know just
what people have said about the various
gems.
Thus the diamond is supposed to
signify purity and to maintain peace
and Danish storms, while the emerald
discovers false friends and insures true
love. The ruby discovers poisons and
corrects evils resulting from mistaken
friendship.
Naturally enough, considering its ap-
pearance, the pearl stands for purity
and innocence, and the agate Is worth
having because it makes for health,
long life and prosperity.
In the moonstone good luck is said
to reside, and the garnet means con-
stancy and fidelity. The opal Is the
unlucky stone, since it portends injury
and mental and physical trouble. 1t
is birthstone for october, but most
persons born in that month prefer the
other october stone which is the beryl,
meaning everlasting youth and happi-
ness.
If YOU are troubled with bad dreams
either watch your diet at night or get
topaz, which not only prevents
! troubled sleep but signifies fidelity and
friendship. Bad tempers might be cured
by the amethyst, which prevents violent
passions. while the sapphire frees from
/ entertainments and denotes repentance.
