Division Removal Brakeman's
Talk.
J J Skinner , trainmaster of
the Missouri Pacific road , was .
'
in the city last Saturday. Mr.
Skinner has his headquarters
at Atchison. When asked as to
the rumors of division removal
of the Missouri Pacific road
from this city to Palls City , he
replied :
"Thai's all brakeman's talk.
You will hear it e < fery spring
and'fall as regularly as the year
rolls around. So far as I kno'v
there is nothing of the kind on
foot and nothing definite regard
ing the subject has come from
headquarters. ' '
The Missouri Pacific authori
ties are planning at the present
time tor a great amount of im
provement work on its lines
from Kansas City to Omaha.
The roadbed will all be streng
thened and the heavy grades cut
down. A vast amount of money
will be spent and when all the
improvements will have been
made heavier engines will be
put on this division and the ton
nage to the train will be greatly
increased.
During the coming year Au
burn will be the headquarters
for a large number of laborers
engaged in the improvement
work and it is safe to predict
that a large amount of their
monthly wages will pass though
the hands of the business men
of this city. Auburn Herald.
Points of Similarity.
A young merchant recently
'presented to his better half an
elaborate piano lamp. He was
much Haltered when she told
him she intended to give it his
name , until he asked her reason
for so peculiar a proceeding.
"Well , " she said , "you know ,
dear , it has a good deal of bra s
about it ; it is handsome to look
at ; requires a good deal of at
tention ; is remarkably brilliant ;
is sometimes unsteady on its
legs ; liable to explode when
only half full ; Hares up occa
sionally ; it is always out at
bedtime , and is bound to
smoke. "

WHY OPALS "ARE COSTLY.
Perfect Gems Must Be Bright and
Without Streaks or Spots Cut
ting Is Important.
Veins of opals arc usually met
ith iu soft formations , where
lothing above ground indicates
heir presence. The search foi
hem , therefore , often require.
onsiderable time. But it is not"
: xtremely difficult , for opals arc-
enerally found near the surface ,
ndeed , it was thought for along
inu > that they were not to be
ouud as deep as 12 feet below the
urfaee. This opinion has , how-
ver , given way in the light of cvi-
once , because opals of great
alue have been discovered at a
lepth of 50 feet , says the Jewel-
rs' Circular.
The value of opals depend *
ipon several considerations , of
vhich the principal one is the
olor. It ) is important that they
hould be bright and not prcsenl
streaks or spots alternating with
incolored substance. The rnosi
valuable are those which have red
ires or mixtures of red , yellow ,
blue and green. Opals of u single
tint are of little value , unless the
int is particularly striking and
ho figure beautiful. Indeed , ono
cl the essential qualities of tin1
opal is the arrangement of the
figure , which sets olT strikingly
the line of the stone.
When the figure is quite regular
iml distinct it is the more valua
ble' , ntiR'li less so when the grain
IK quite small and irregular.
Sometimes the color appears as
a single blaze or with figures ir
regularly spaced. It may then beef
of a fine ruby red and is much
sought after , but oftenest the uni
form tint is only green or reddish ,
and has but little brilliancy to
( speak of.
The cutting is important for
\
the opal ; thus a thick stone will
be much less beautiful than a thin
one , which , on losing part of its
volume , loses also the figure. The
foundation tint contributes nincl ,
lo the beauty. It ought to hi
transparent , slightly milky , am' '
harmonize fully with the different ,
reflections 'of the opal , which ,
when it is really beautiful , prc
sents a variety of hues inlinitely
pleasing to the eye.
Bluebirds as Pets.
The bluebird makes a very play
ful and affectionate little pet. Mr.
A. Raddyelyffe Dugmore tells of ti
very interesting one he possessed.
"While I am writing , " he says , "a
pet one , but three months old , is
Billing on my paper , seeming lo
wonder what I am doing and why
I do not play with him. lie nips
my pencil , but I pay no attention
to him ; then he tries to creep up
my sleeve , and still I pay no alien
lion ; so , disgusted , lie flies off in
search of ants and oilier small in
seels. After a lime I raise my
hand and call ; hack he comes like
a flash , and hovering , more like ; i
molh than a bird , lie perches on
my finger , singing at the lime a
soft litlle song that is liis method
of speech. " St. Nicholas.
Chonte on Texas Justice.
One of Ambassador Choale's
legal stories lold at a gathering of
lawyers on his last visit to this
country related to a Texas judge
before whom n prisoner was
brought charged with horse steal
ing. The judge promplly sen
tenced Hie prisoner to be hanged ,
bul his lawyer inlerrupled.
"You can't liang this prisoner
according lo law , your honor , " lifi
said.
"Guess you're right , " said the
Judge. "Well , I'll discarge him
and it's up lo the boys to hang him
according to the regular custom. "
