GEMS ANO MYTHS. Some Ancient Beliefs About the Or igin of Precious Stones. Thc natives of India up to the he winning of tho eighteenth century referred to rock crystal as "an un ripe diamond." At that time India wis thought to be tho only land which produced that preci us stone. It was not, therefore, until the dis covery of India that the diamond was known to ns. Yet as far back as 500 B. C. a "didactic history" of precious stones was written, and in Pliny's time tho supply must have been plentiful, as he wrote, "Wo drink out of a mass of gems, and our drinking vessels are formed of emeralds/' ' We are also told that Xero aided Iiis weak sight by specta cle? made of emeralds. But it is very difficult to deter mine whence all tho gems came, as discoverers took care to leave no record. Thc nations that traded in them were afraid of'their where abouts being known, nnd even the most ancient mei chants would not (ii-c?osc any deiiiiitc locale. All forts of myths have accordingly faning up concerninj thc origin of gems. "Diamond" as the namo given to a youth who was turned fat o the hardest and most brilliant of substances to preserve him from "thc ills that flesh is heir to." Am ethyst was a beautiful nymph be loved by Bacchus, but saved from him by Diana, who changed Ame thyst into a gem, whereupon Bac chus turned the gem into wine col or and endowed the wearer with tho gift of preservation from intoxica tion. Thc pearl was thought to be a dewdrop the shell had opened to re ceive. Amber was said to be honey melted by the sun, dropped into tho sea and congealed. According to the Talmud, Noah had no light in thc ark but that which carno from precious stones. - Chicago Chronicle. People Who Fall Safely. i fall as a rule injures a drunken man much less than a sober one be cause, the controlling power of the mind being rendered nil through in toxication, the body falls as an in ert mass, end thus the chances of injury are lessened, for, strange though it may appear, it is no less .a fact that the most numerous cases of injury arising from a fall are caused by the ?mort, voluntary or otherwise, to avert the consequen ces, thus straining the muscles and tendons. Very rarely are injurious effects from a fall known in a luna tic asylum for the same simple rea son-thc mind Has no influence over the action of the body. And it is a remarkable and well known fact to those who have to deal with such cases that whatever injuries are so caused heal much more rapidly than in the case of sane people, the mind having more to do with retarding or assisting nature's efforts than is generally known or realized. Might Have Been Woree. A disposition to look always on the bright side of things spares its possessor much unhappiness, but when the cheerfulness rests npon reasoning so unsound ai? Mr. Dolan's there must some time come an awak ening. Mr. Dolan had lost his position at the mill owing to his persistent hab it of tardiness, and in consequence his wife was "low in her moind." But Dolan was as cheerful as ever. "Now, don't be losin' your smoiles. Norah, darlin'," he said coaxingly. "Oi'm out o' wurrk, to be sure, nut 'twas only a dollar a day Oi got. If Oi'd been gettin' two dollars, our loss would be twoice as bad. Kane that in moind, dar lin', and not bo complainin'." The Sign of the Three Balls. The three'gilded balla used by pawnbrokers are tho three gilded pills which the Florentine banking house of the Medici assumed as their arms when they" became wealthy. r The founder of the fam ily had been a medicus. His chil dren went into banking and got rich. They assumed the canting coat of arms of the pills and hung them out to show wherejitheir bank was, their business being largely in the nature of pawnbroking. Their rivals caught on to the idea and hung up three golden balls, and so their successors, having given np banking, retain the balls as the em blem of the pawnbroking eide of the business. Animal Food. It is related of an Irish coachman 'that his medical adviser prescribed' animal food as the best means of restoring health and activity. 'Tatrick," said he, "you're run down a bit; that's alh What you need is animal food." Remember ing his case a few days afterward, he called Upon Pat at the stable. trWell, Pat,'' said ho, "how are you getting on with the treatment?" "Oh, ahure, sir," Pat rephed,"Oi manage all right with tho grain and oats, but ifs mighty > hard with the 'Chopped hay." To Core a Cold io One Oay. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab* lets.

La?A&SiiioicM Chinese Millionaire's Hora?. it was my fortune to call on one of the richest men in China, a merchant prinoe of Foo Chow. Mr. Loen or dered a tiny cop of tea for us without delay, and after that was disposed of showed os over his establishment. Next to the reception room waa his bedroom, which waa largely occupied by a huge bed, beside which the four poster of our grandmothers would have looked insignificant. Elaborately oarved and inlaid with ivory, the bcd ia a little room in itself. Outside the bed proper is an ante-room, big enough to hold a small table and ohair, but all inclosed within the bedstead. Then you oome to the couch, wide enough to hold four people, but hard as a board, and the pillows are simply pieces of wood, slightly hollowed in (he middle. If two or more people occupy it, they sleep hoad to feet. In the uortL a fire would be built under the bed io winter, but in Foo Chow the mild climate makes this unneces sary. Beside his bod were his books, Chinese classics in several large vol umes, buggesting the thought that Mr. Leon indulged in the habit of reading himself off to sleep. Surely the Chi nese clatsioa are prosy enough to act as a soporific. , Io a cupboard protected by glass doors were several erackod and disrep utable china bowls, very precious in their owner's eyes, for they were 300 years old and went baok to the Ming dynasty. Not unlike other connois seurs in China was Mr. Leon after all, for th? older and uglier the more pre cious seems to be the rule thc world over. In another room were Mr. Leonis ancestral tablets, black 6labs of wood about two feet high, on which were engraved the names of his ancestors, with quotations from the classics to keep the names company. Before these tablets on certain occasions Mr. Leon burns i license and worships their names. Into other rooms he took ns, but they were mainly repetitions of the first with slight variations. All were substantially furnished; all from an Occidental point of view were dirty and comfortless. In one part of his establishment Mr. Leon had an extensive rockery, where our pictures were taken together. In another was a grove of small bamboos. In still another was a fish pond, in which gold fish and silver fish lazily swam to the surface to accept crubs from our hands. But all were in closed by the walls of hi?* house. Going to the roof of one of his houses we were able to survey the whole es tablishment. From this coign of van tage we counted no less than thirty five roofs belonging to the household establishment of this one millionaire, and all inclosed within the family compound. But Mr. Loon needs a large house, for he has eight wives, eight sons and six daughters, and several of the sons are married and live with their wives and ohildren under the parental roof. When we came away the whole family followed us to the r ..ter door, where the sedan chairs wet awaiting us, and with many bows and shaking of their own hands bade us adieu. For our part, we went on our way pleasantly impressed with the unas suming cordiality and modest hospi tality of one of China's millionaires. -Washington Star. Got Satisfaction. The middle-aged man, who was tak ing a quiet stroll in the outskirts of the village, was accosted by a young fellow of frank, engaging countenance. "Isn't this Mr. Rankin?" asked thc latter. "Yes." "You used to teaoh in the old Kirk bride Sohool House ten or twelve years ago?" "I did." "Do you remember a boy named Tip Beaver that went to sohool to you about that time?" "Very well." "I suppose I have changed a gjod deal since then, but I waa that hoy," ''I am glad to see you again, Tip." "And I am glad to see you. Do you remember tho' I 'as rather a bad boy, and you had .unco me occasion ally?" "O, yes, I remember that." "Well, I generally deserved it. Do you recollect the time I stuck a bent pin on tho seat when John Matthew son was Btauding up to recite, and you saw me do it and gave me a little the best whipping a boy ever got?" "Yes, I think I reoall that circum stance." "Well, itoured me." "I think it did. It is pleasant to reoall these old-" "But I thought you whipped me a good deal harder than I deservod, and I made up my mind that when I got to be a mah I'd hunt you up and give you a blamed good Hoking. I guess the time's oome uow, and you're going to get it. Shed your coat, and we'll even up old seores in about four min utes." . But here the unexpected happened. Without stopping to shed his eoat Mr. Rankin sailed into that.young man. He smote him in. the eye, land ed a straight left on his nose, hit him io the breadbasket and doubled him up, and theo with a stiff upper nut on the chin scored a olean knockdown. Then, as he helped him to hia feet .aud handed bim his hat, he merely Baid: "Wait till you've grown some more, Tip, and if you still feel like evening up old ?corea hunt me up again. Good day."--Chicago Tribune. Following Instructions. At the Roosevelt hospital the other morning a poor woman came to the clinic She was suffering greatly so the dootor administered an emetic at once. Then he eect her home., with the warning that her stomach was in a bad condition and that she could diet. Later a little girl appeared at the nearest drug ftorc, asking for some eye stuff. "What color?" said the clerk. "I don't kuoiv." answered the ohild. "But surely you must have some preference," said the obliging sales man. She only .-hook her head in response. "Well, will you take blue?" "Yes, I guess BO." The clerk, determined to ferret out the oause of suoh unusual indifference asked: "What are you going to uso the dye for, little girl?" She answered, "My mamma bad a pain in her stomach and the dootor at tho big hospital said she should 'dye it.' "-New York Times. Economical Alan. The native pointed out to the stran ger an old man who was passing. "That man," said the native, "beats the world on close figuring." ''Makes a little money go a long ways, does he?" "Well, rather. Last winter ho put revolving doors into a big building that he owns, and bo never took them out again all summer." "Pore matter of economy?" "Exactly. " "Rather small and meau, I should think. The cost of taking out and puffing baok the revolving door ought not to be great, and he's giving his tenants and their patrons a lot of un? neoessary labor. "That's just it," explained the native. "He's* making them wort for him for nothing. Why, he stores up the power generated by those doors and uses it to run the elevators. Why, thc man is so close that he doesen't get mad, because he thinks his anger would oause him to give out heat that he'll need in the winter."-Chicago Post." - Justice is so busy holding her scales that she hasn't time to give some people what is coining to them. - A man's wife may lay down the law to her husband, but she is allays willing to let him lay down the car pets._ HERE'S A BABY ITS MOTHER IS WELL The baby ls healthy because during gestation Ita mother used the purely vegetable liniment.
