THE LUMP CITY MI1\ ) k11: LUMP CITY, MÜNTANA: ANIÈRIC.AN TUROUOIlltES. butt Gem Whir/. Ages Ago Wee Mined by the Aeteet‘ Although the United States cannot claim to be considered one of the great gem -producing countrien of the world, almost every known variety of precious stone has been fosand within its limits. Few geins, howe ter, are com - :ion enough to be of decided commer- cial importance and systematic mining is rarely carried on. The culy exception Lo this is afforded by the turquoise. The last edition to the \Mineral Resources of the United States,\ gives the value or the rough gems of all kinds produced here during 1893, as amouating to $264.- 041—of which $143,136 goes to the credit of the turquoise mines. Almost all of the American turquoise come from Santa Fe County, New M'21 leo, or Mohave county, Arizona. As in Persia, thee turquoise, both in New Mexico and Arizona, occurs in veins permeating volcanic rocks, a yel- .owish brown trachyte being the com- mon.est matrix. The Pueblo Indians find them an easy way of making money, as they can be obtained with lit- tle trouble, and, after being subjected to rough grinding, can be readily sold to travellers. Formerly, when the In- dian was more unsophisticated, choice Stones could be obtained from them at the outlay of a few cents, but of late years the sellers have begun to realize the value of their goods, and now few real bargains can be seemed. The ancient inhabitants of Mexico mined the turquoise extensively, and the invading Spaniards found It large- ly used to incrust human skulls, and also to inlay mosaics and to decorate obsidian ornaments. Traces of the old mines can be found to this day, and rubbish heaps are common in the tur- quoise district. In the Arizona mines they tell how, on a tunnel being run threugh a turquoise deposit, the minert came across the remains of a more ancient tunnel, its top and sides rent and caved In as if by an earthquake, while in a small epace, three or four feet each way, was the skeleton of the •unfortunate Aztec, who had been im- prisoned there by the. falling in of the Foot In one hand the skeleton still clutched the handle of his old mine hammer, and at his side was a leather bag containing, as the discoverers found, several choice stones. It mile? shows that in the old days men would Lake as big risks in search of treasurr us they will now. Another tale of turquoise drifts up Seem Yucatan. It tells of an idol in an nneient temple around whose neck, arms and ankles are hung strings ol magnificent turquoises, while each ol Ito eyes is a singe large stone. The narrator, a Mexican minor, claimee that these eye stones were about three inches in their largest diameter. There is something in this story irresistibly susgestive of Rider Haggard's idols. VAGARIES OF SMOKERS. Queer Tastes and Fads ni Men Who Know What They Went. \It's a queer fact,\ said a Broadway cigar -dealer to a New York World re- portee, 'how tastes differ in the matter ef smoking materials. I really believe no smoker enjoys trying a new brand of tobacco and that solid contentment is only secured when the smoker has become thoroughly used to some partic- ular brand. \One of my customers, a wealthy man, who buys a large quantity of high-gride cigars, always smokes sto- gies himself and carries a supply in his pocket 1)r emergency. I have seen him 'when treated to a genuine perfecto sly- ly slip It into his pocket and light one of his stogies. Another man, who can only afford a small sum for his tobacco, smokes but one cigar a day, and that a choice one. He declares that no ,ather kind will satisfy him, and that one good ¡smoke after dinner Is worth six cheap cigars spread over the day. \Some cigarette smok- ers, who can afford to buy the best, always ask or a par- ticular brand of five -rent vari- ety, and will take no others.

MRS,, GLADSTONE AS A FAIRY, A Fretty Story About the English Statesman'. Amiable Wife. A pretty story of Mr and Mrs. Glad stone's kindtiose to e, young woman in thus reported by a lady correspondent oi the Liverpool Echo: The young woman was ;he daughter of a music teacher, who, many year ago, ‚vas engaged to teach Mr. Gladstone' children. This young wonian was anxious to enter the musical profes- sion. in seine way, says the corres- pondent, she became known to Mrs. Gladstone-- perhaps through her daughters, the young girl's fellow pu- pils -and that lady. hear -lug he- sing, showed her recognition of the ability she displayed in many ways, ()spec - folly by inviting lier to their house that others might hear and admire her also. At last the music teaeher proposed giving a concert, at which his best pupils were to perform. Of course, Mies -- - was among them, and very much excited she felt at the prospect of making her debut before the very select audience which was secured for the performance, Mr. and Mrs. Glad- stone, of course. conspicuous among its members. She was not afraid of the ordeal, being mode,itly confident of her ability to pass it with credit to herself and master, but she was a woman, and a very young and rather pretty one, and it so damped her an- ticipations,of coming triumph to look at her old shabby evening dress, the only one she possessed, and think of apocaring in it before the brilliant audience among her well dressed fel- low pupils. In vain did her mother remind her of the admiration her su- perior singing would excite; she felt that a new evening gown, smart and pretty, would effect far moro wonder- ful results than any oreort of her own, and so, in rather a disconsolate moo, she practiced away and waited the eventful hour. One day, to her surprise, she re- ceived an invitation to dine with the Gladstones on the evening of the con- cert and drive with them to the hall. Very .gladly she accepted it, and thought how good it was of them to let her make her debut, as it were, under their wing, besides saving her the expense of a cab. So, though still in rueful contemplation of her toilet, she felt a little better, and in due time arrived at the hospitable door. There she was shown into a bedroom, and smilingly told that whatever blie found laid out for her was for her use as she saw fit. Surely the days of fairy god mothers are not over, for on the bed, spread out in dazzling white- ness, reposed a marvel of muslin, rib- bon and lace, a charming evening gown, fresh from the modinte, and simple and pure as any \syeet girl graduate\ might wish to wear at her first appearance in public. Macro was no doubt about it, it was really for her—this thoughtfully arranged gift of the kind lady, whose ,,notherly heart had silently understaxl what the feelings of the girl uncles the cir- cumstances would be. So, very happily and gratetilly, the pretty gift was donned, and tio blush- ing recipient hastened down to join the family whose veneeated head was quito as much interested in the little surprise as any one else concerned.

Recently a man wee e , n wandering hopelessly about, ge rig up one aisle and dőwn another wail tee proprietor of the store observed him. -Are you looking for some one?\ asked the merchant. \I'm looking for the avey out.\ said the man. -There is the door,\ respore,ed the surprised merchant. \But that is not the door by which I came in; I'm not going out be , some other way.\ \This wa y , then,\ said the mer- chant, and 11e piloted the man to the side door. \Thanks said the customer; \I don't believe inviting bad luck by going in at one door and going out at another.\ And the astonished merchant went bark to hunt up an almanac and find out in wheel of the dark ages he was It,troct.

How many farmers and others, too, whose places are destitute of fruit and shade trees. Again, how many rented places are devoid of trees or all kinds. Has the land -owner ever stopped to consider that a small orchard, a few yard trees around every tenement house will greatly enhance the value, attract ami hold a better class of ten- ants, make life more enjoyable and that too at practically no cast? We tell you there Is a great deal of selfishness wheu we look abroad and see how stingy and selfish many are with their tenants, and oftentimes perchance sorne good fariner rents his feral and inoves awes , and is KO selfish as to reserve all, yes, all the fruit produced, denying even this to his tenant. Land -owners owe their tenants and the public generally,a duty by planting at least a moderate quantity of trees. This is a wise pub- lic policy.—Ornamental Tree Growing. Chance, of Death in Battle. At the battle of Solterino, according to M. Casscnili's carefully deducted calculations, a comparison of the number of shots tired on the Austrian side with the number killed and wounded on the part of the enemy shows that 700 bullets were expended for every man wounded and 4,200 for each man killed! The average weight of the ball used was thirty grains, therefore it must have taken at least 126 kilograms, or '227 pounds of lead for every man put out of the way. Yet Solferino has gone into history na a most important and bloody engage- ment. liogert, in the light of the above, was not far from right when he quaint- ly said: \War is awful, but the sowed of it is awfuler.\ Far From the Sidewalks. \Why you poor man! how did you come to lose your foot—in the war?\ \No ma'am. 1 used to live in the suburbs, and in running for a train on an early spring inorning 1 caught my foot in the mud and left it thhre.\— Judge.

The Hebrew worship, we are apt to think, was awe-inspiring and therefore gloomy; but it had, nevertheless, large room for gladness. The magnificent collection of Psalms which have come down to us give token that the element of joy predominated in the worship of their assemblies. To this day we can find no better expression of exultant emotion than these songs supply. We do not think we are wrong in asserting that the tone of public worship today is quite below that of the Hebrews, and certainly below that of the early Chris- tians in gladness. In our hymns and liturgies we use their words; but it is seldom that in the worship of a modern congregation one is conscious of the ex- ultant note of joy. Penusylsauln.
