The Romance
of Precious
Stones
The Turquoise the Subject
of Much Poetry and Su
perstition : : :
Autumnal Fashions as Shown Now at the Paris Openings -:-
ItYpubli&hed by SiKH'inl Arr:uifrtniont with Mnrpor's Unzar.
By GARRETT P. SERVISS.
A great deal of romance, poetry and
superstition have gathered about precious
atones. They are all very interesting
scientifically. I notice that a geologist.
Prof. Porn a. North
western university,
has recently" been
making an address
on "the geology, his
tory and ethnology
iit . the turquolst."
By Us ethnology ho
evidently means' Its
connection with tho
social and religious
ideas, rites, cere
monies and super
stitions of the vari
ous peoples who,
.for . thousands of
iears, 'have used
this beautiC.l mineral as a highly val
ued Jewel.
The' turquola, or turquoise, ts for
tunate In Its name, which has a par
ticularly rich sound, quite In accord with
the old fancy that it Is a sign or talis
man, of prosperity for its possessor. The
word la said to bavo originated from the
laot that turquoises were brought into
Kurope through Turkey.
Among . Shylock's riches there seems
to have been nothing that he esteemed
so' much as a jewel of this kind which i
he wore in a ring. When Tubal tells
him of tho ring which his runaway j
daughter, Jeslca, exchanged for a- mon- j
key, he cries out: "Thou torturest me,
Tubal; It was my turquoise; I had It
of Leah when I was a bachelor; I would
not have given it for a wilderness of
monkeys."
Shakespeare was right In thug repre
senting the turquoise as specially Jpre
cloug In the (yes of a wealthy Inhabitant
nf luxurious Venice, possessed of an Ori
ental appreciation of the beauty of gems.
In the sixteenth century, when he wrote,
the turquoise was universally regarded
as perhaps the most excellent subjeot of
lapidary art.
One of tho early sources of the tur
quoise was In the wild, rugged mountain
peninsula of Sinai, But still more famous,
from the dawn of clvllliatlon to the pres
ent time, have been the turqoise deposits
of Nishapur, l:i Persia, near the Caspian ,
sea. ' The Persian stones were always
regarded: as the finest: Of lata years,
however, tbe supply has been falling,
and the majority of turquoises now put
on. the market come from other parts of
the world, and largely from New Mexico
and Arizona. '
The characteristic color is an exquisite
blue; or greenish-blue. The most prev
ious, possess the so-called "robin's egg"
tint.' In composition the stone Is a hy- :
droua phosphate of aluminum containing
a little copper, to which the color is due.
It is not as hard as quarts and Is not
crystalline In structure, but . forma
nodules in rock of Igneous origin. . It
has a waxy lustre, which shows a beau
tiful play of light.
In former times the turquoise waa a
royal Jewel, and the earliest Egyptian
kings hqd fine gold ornaments inlaid,
with turquoises buried with them In their
tofnbs. In China, in India and in Tibet
great value was set upon the turquoise.

A struggling youth, intelligent, moral.
Industrious, found himself in temporary
embarrassment, and wrote to a friend
to wear in the fulfillment of duties he
had recently secured. He assured the
woman he would repay her $1 a week
until the small debt waa liquidated.
The check wa. sent gladly, and In the
accompanying letter the woman said she
accepted his terms of payment, as she
felt it would enable him to feel more
manly and to form businesslike methods.
Her bank returned the voucher of her
check, which had been cashed, but in
that way only was she even aware that
it waa svar received. No acknowledg
ment wa. sent to her, and even a letter
of inquiry, after mors than six month.,

A young woman appealed to a personal
friend for money with which to launch

hero ln a nut.hell and I am going to try
to .develop them . today for the benefit ,
of tho many "Anxious Wlvee" and "Un
happy Bride." -ho write to me each day j
for advice aa to how to hold or regain
the love of their husbands.
Oirl. must learn to realise that a man
has to be won over and over again. For
It is the normal nature of a man's love
to burn out rather quickly. And the wife
who wlnaes th. fire to keep up mimt
learn how to provide fresh fuel.
The pity of It 1. that when the flames
begin to dls down, the foolish little wife
weep and wails and calls on high beaven
to witness that her husband vowed eternal
devotion. In other words, ahe remembers
that tho man she trusted promised that
tho bonfire should never grow dim and
moky.
' Don't waato time and dimming tear, so
foollnhly. When the fire of lovo seems
to pale a bit, hustle around and see what
you can bring that will keep the blaze
going fairly steady.
Men are vain; they love comfort; they
like honesty and enjoy being amused.
They hate being nagged at about trifles
and they fairly abominate Jealouay, "I
told you so" and whining over troubles
they are unable to fend off.
Four ! and four "Don'ts" to
weave you a cage where the love-bird
will stay willingly thousrh the net of
, fascination that has caught him Is out.
worn.
Let u. consider the "Do's."
First the care of your husband', vanity.
Appeal to It when wisdom demands. De
velop his self-esteem so that he will de
pend on you for appreciation of his good
qualities and toleration of his weak
nesses. Make htm think the wife he has
chosen appreciates him a. no other
woman can. Through thl. you can lead
him for his own good and h4Hlnes.
Then as to comfort. The Importance of
feeding a husband well ha. been dwelt
upon by many Inspired writers. Follow
their Inspiration. The old saying that the
road to a man's heart Is through his
stomach Is practically true.
Make your home a place to live In,
whether It U one room or ten. Let your
husband drop cigar ashes on your toest
rug and newspaper, all over tho place.
It won't hurt your house, and tho privi
lege of being comfortable will make your
husband's heart glow with warmth and
well being.
And tbe last rule for fuel on the bon
fire of lovo la: Be amusing. Try to
entertain yuur husband when he comes
homo. I lave brurht, interesting things to
tell hlro, and hav. a bright. Interested
manner that will make him enjoy letting
you tell of the day', events.

Whenever you think of something to
