The absurd superstition held by so many that the opal brings ill-luck to its owner, as if there were a compell- ing power or genius residing in stones, would not seem to be shared by those who rate the two Opals belbnging to the French crown jewels at fifteen thousand dollars, or the famous one sent from Hungary to the first World’s Exhibition at twenty housand dollars, or by those who protect the delicate and friable edges of very brilliant spe- cimens by a thin lamina of quartz, The Hungarian merchants who take the pains to export the opal to the East by means of Greek and Turkish agents from whence they return to European markets as Oriental gems, are hardly intimated by the existence of this su- perstition; nor could Humboldt great- ly have regarded it when he brought to the polite world the first specimens of the superb stone known as the Mexi- can fire-opal, too precious to be owned, with its red and flame-colored splen- dors, by many with less than imper- ial purses—Harper’s Bazar. ‘———-—rr-—1——.——P—‘——‘ A Story of H.

The most famous donkey that ever resided in the city of Chicago is Don Caesar de Bazan of the tribe of Jeru- salem. . The little quadruped soon learned to love Mr. Field, and, in turn, shared the great-hearted poet’s favors with the other pets around the place. Don was not allowed to enjoy him- self all day, however, for no sooner had Mr. Field’s familiar figure disap- peared in the direction of Clark street than the boys began to prod sharp sticks at him for the sheer pleasure of seeing him squirm and kick. Don was obliged to grin and bear all these abuses until Mr. Field returned at night. He did it with a very qual- ified grace, but in absolute silence, for he never brayed except in the pres- ence of his master. Don had good cars and a keen perception, and as soon as he heard the deep—toned voice so familiar to all who knew Mr. Field he would commence to urge his com- plaints in the most vigorous, rasping brays. When Mr. Field moved to Buena Park, Don became a trouble to his master. Don would get into mischief among the flower beds or stray into some neig: lior’s lot. At last Mr. Field was driven to despair as to how to dis- DOSE: of Don Caesar do Bazan to the advantage of that estimable animal. Just at this time Mr. George Yeno- wine, a warm friend of the family, visited Chicago, and when he heard of the donkey dilemma quickly bethought himself of carting Don to the farm in Kentucky. So Don Caesar de Bazan, with his bag and baggage, in the care of Mr. Yenowine, departed for Kentucky. Two years later Mr. Field visited Yenowine Farm, immediately repaired to the pasture and called upon Don. The latter marched up to the fence. flopped his ears back and forth in a knowing fashion, looked at his late master with a cunning leer, then promptly and silently retired to the far corner of the meadow. The next morning, however, he marched delib- erately to the house and began to bray. It was ever after Mr. Field’s opin- ion that animals think more than they are given credit for.—Chicago Inter- Ocean. RACING COCKROACHES. An Amusement of Turkish Prisoners Dur- ing Their Tedious Confinement. ' Racing cockroaches is the latest de- vice of the prisoners who are languish— ing in Turkish prisons. .The prisons are overrun with cock- roaches. The more intelligent of the prisoners make friends with these in- sects. Infinite patience is required to train a cockroach. .By enticing a number of cockroaches into his cell every day, one of the pris- oners discovered that they could easily be taught, if they were propitiated with molasses. After a few weeks’ work he astonished his friends in the prison by bringing out for their edifi- cation a corps of trained cockroaches. The cockroach fever at once spread through the prison. Every man who could beg or borrow molasses began a company of cockroaches. Two of the most highly trained cock- roaches were pitted against each oth- er, and the‘ prisoners ranged [them- selves on either side of the corridor to watch the race. The owner _of each insect prodded him with a piece of straw. As the cockroaches raced along the floor the excitement among the prisoners and jailers rose to fever heat. The insects had been so well trained that they de- viated neither to the right nor left, but kept straight ahead. The one that was beaten lost the race because he stopped to scratch his leg. -.\’cw York Journal. Zin c Wall Paper. “Zinc wall paper" is the latest oddity and several residences of the highest class new building will be equipped with it. The zinc is prepared by a new process. so as to exactly resemble mar- ble. The most beautiful varieties of marble are imitated in such a manner that the imposture is only to be de- tectcd after a close examination. The zinc is httached to the wall by a cement invented for the purpose. The surface of the zinc is enamelled so as to render it permanent and washable. Tiles or any other form of mural ‘cov- crime.r can be imitated as readily as marble and the material is made in a great variety of patterns. It: is claimed for this new departure in (laceratiw material that while it is as permanent as tiles or marble, it is much cheaper. and-can be as easily put on as ordinary wall paper. It can be applied. too. to any surface, whether fiat. broken or sound, and any bead- ing, etc, can be embossed on the metal to complete a design or panel—New York Journal. ‘ _n_.. _ A Parson’s Blessing.
