ANCXENTS CALLED RUBY KING OF PRECIOUS GEMS

The ruby possessed, according ‘to the ancients, the greatest of talis- tanic powers. It has many names nsanskrit, sortie oi th(m clearly showing that it was more valued gs g gem by the Hindus than any other For instance, it is called rrttiiarai. "king of precious stones" and rntniinayaka, ‘leader of prec- ious stones"; another name, ap- plied to s particular shade oi ruby, ls padmiiraga, "zed as the lotus."

The glowing hue of the ruby sug- gested the idea, that an inextin- guisliable flame burned in this stone. From this fancy came the assertion that the inner fire could not be hidden, as it would shine through the clothes or through any material that might be wrap- ped around the stone. If cast into he Witter the ruby communicated its heat to the liquid, causing it to

boil. The dark and the star rubies were called ‘male’ stones, the others, more especially, however, those of erod u ‘ ties mvcd to preserve this bodily and mental health of the wearer, for they removed evil thoughts, controlled amorous 110511186. d151- pated pestilential vapours, and reconciled disputes. ‘hr-d of italics" In the Lapidaire of Phili Valois, it is said that "the tell us the beautiful clear and fine ruby is the lord of stones: it is the of gems, and. surpasses all other precious stones in virtue." Ln the time of Marbcdus (end oif the eleventh century AD.) the some proud place was assigned to tho sapphire. The ruby is spoken oi in similar terms in the Lapidalre en vers, where it is called “the most precious of the twelve stones God created when He created all crea- tures." By Christ's command the ruby Was placed on Aaron's neck, "the ruby, called the lord of gems; the highly prized, the dearly loved ru-by, so fair with its gay colour." As with diamonds, rubies also were divided by the Hindus into four castes. The true oriental ruby was a Brahmin; the rubicelle, a Kshatriya; the spinel, s Vaisya, and lastly. the bales-ruby, a Sudra. 'Ihe ssession of s padmaragu, or Etihmlh ruby, cortiferred perfect safety upon the owner and as long as he owned this precious stone he could dwell without fear in the midst of enemies, and was shielded from adverse fortune. However, great care had to be taken to pre- serve this ruby of the first class from contact with inferior speci- mens, as its virtue would thereby be contaminated, and its power for good correspondingly diminished.

Many Virtues

The many tallsmanic virtues of the ruby are noted in the four- teenth century treatise attributed to Sir John Mandeviile.’ Here the fortunate owner of a brilliant ruby is assured that he will live in peace and concord with all men, that nei- ther his land nor his rank will be taken from him, and that he will be preserve from all perils. This stone would also guard his 1101156. his fruit trees and his vineyards from injury by tempests. All the good effects were most surely se- cured lf the ruby, set in ring, brace- let, or brooch. were worn on the left side.

Confers

The gorgeous ruby, the favourite gem of Burma, where the finest imens are found, is not only valued for its beauty, but is also believed to confer. irivulriembfiity. To attain this end, however, it is not thought to be sufficient to wear these stones in a ring or other pieces of jewellery, but the stone must be inserted in the flesh, and thus become, no to speak, p, of its owneivsbody. Those who in this day bear about with them a ruby, confidently believe that they cannot be wounded by spear, sword or gun. A4 it is often remarked that the moot daring and reckless soldiers unscathed through all the peri of war, we can under- stand that this superstition may sometimes appear to be verified.

DRESS UP THE LETTERS YOU sum) TO SOLDIERS

They Appreciate Mail With Good Stationery And Properly Written l

neon nonornv DIX-I am an Army mail ceusvr- l m wriilns asking you to call the attention of the wives and sweethearts who write {o their men in the service about how important it. is that their letters shou d be neat and attractive looking. To the man in camp it makes a dif r- ence, greater than he himself would admit, to see that his wife or his girl or his mother has taken the trouble to put a few frills on her letter, just as she would dressup to make herself pleasing to him. In a. word. he likes to get the kind of letter that he is proud to receive and to show

. off to the other boys, and that makes the boys ‘ know that the writers are dainty ladies. Yet three-fourths of the letters that the boys in camps in the United States and overseas receive from their women at home are scrawls, written in pencil on chea pad paper and folded u so small that they ra tle around in a large enve ope, and that even to a professional reader are almost illegible. No boy is pepped up over getting a let.- ier like that. and it is not helped out by the ob- vious fact that a letter that is so ill-written that it has to be deciphered takes so long in read- ing that the message is largely lost, Well. Miss Dix, what about it? Can't something be dcne for our boys? Won't the mothers and wives and sweethearts when they write use ink, not crowd the sheet. write carefully and legibly on good stationery? They would ii they knew what a difference it makes to the boys who look so anx- iously for the letters from home. THE CENSOR.

LET HIM BE PROUD 0F YOU

ANSWER-Attention, mothers and wives and sweethearts! Listen to what. the censor says about the sloppy letters you have been writing to the boys in camp! It must be a knockout. blow to the boy when the letter that he has been waiting so anxiously for from the woman he loves best, comes looking like something the cat brought in. and so badly writ- ten that lie can hardly decipher it and really never does find out whethir it was Aunt. Jemimah who died from stubbinz her toe, or the dog that fell in the well.

As long as n woman loves a man she wants to look good to him, and she takes rouble to doll herself up and look spick-and-spari so that sire will not only be easy on his eyes. but he will be proud to show her oﬂ to other men. and say: “See what I've got!” Well. when you are far away from him your letter is your representative, and surely you don't want thtit to be an illegible scriiwl in it dirtv envelope.

All that. you can do for the boys in camp to brace up their morale is by keeping the mails hot with bright, cheerful, encouraging letters, tell- ing them how you are thinking of them and admiring them and how proud you are of them for doing their duty so gallantly, and these letters will have an added kick to tlrem if they come properly dressed up.

.4 WIDOWEWS FLIGHT

DEAR MISS DIX-I had one of the best wives with which God ever blessed a man. She was sweetheart, wife, friend, business partner, a. prop upon which I leaned in every time of trouble. Four years ago she passed away. Since then I have lived alone. cooked my own meals. cleaned the house, been a hermit. When i return home from my work. it is like entering a tomb, and at night I lie awake wondering what is to become 0f me. what if I should get sick with no one to call to for help?

I have one son who ivants me to change my way of living and I don't know what to do. I um 62 but very active, Herc are the five solutions of my problem that I am considering: (l) Should I break up my ii -me and go to live with my son? I do not think that would be good for me nor his family. I would be an intruder. His home would no longer enjoy the priv- acy it is entitled to.

(2) Have my son come and live with me and his wife keep house? They have a comfortable home of which his wife is mistress. Every woman wants a home of her own. 1 have no reason to expect her to sac- riﬁce her honie for me. t3) Employ a housekeeper? Very good. but when dinner is over. what then? I would lack what I still crave. which is com-

panionship.

t4) Sell eve thing‘ and board with a good family? That would mean the sacriﬁcing o all t. e little things that are so dear to me-my library that I have spent a lifetime collecting, my garden, my beautiful trees and plants, even my faithful dog. <5) Get married? At 62 there is not much romance left. and. what woman wants to marry an old man who has only $1,000 in the bank, an old-fashioned house and a salary only as long as he can report for work? A LONELY OLD MAN.

ANSWER-oz is not too old for a mart to marry if he can find a woman in his own age class who is congenial, who has enough money of her own to make her independent and the marriage a ﬁfty-fifty ﬁnancial

artnership, but who is lonely and who longs for compatiionshg) and hav- ng a husband to fuss over and get up good dinners for. An there are plenty such women.

Failing that. the boarding house is your next best bet. Don't sacrlfire everything else to your furniture. as so many of us do. We hate to part with our hings that we have had so long and that have so many mem- ories, but once we make the plunge we are glad to be free frotn their tyranny. You can take a. few of the bits oi furniture and some of your books with you wherever you go to give you ii touch of home, bttt you will be astonished at how much junk that you care nothing for, that you have accumulated. _

Recently I have been going over my oim library picking out books to send to the cam s for the soldiers, ‘and I have been amazed to find how many volumes I ad that I haven't even looked Aat_fo_r>20> rirjlO years,

When Brocme drove away with "the Rev. John Smith". Malor Mosson had been placed in a quand- ry. Since Assistant Commissioner Caythers had thrown him on his own initiative he hesitated to raise a. hue and cry again. For a time it really had appeared as though they were being led slowly but surely to the latest haunt oi the kidnappers. rhen the bait had been swallowed ivlfiole. and he was left cursiniz the mixture of bad luck and superior strategy of the onnosition which had gone against the police from the commencement of the cizse.

Over the telephone he had heard from headquarters some strongly expressed opinions.

Continuing the scolditlll in the more convenient surroundings of his own room, CaDtain Caytners lam- ented the intrusion of legal experts into the realm of purely DoLce work and spoke regretfully of opportuni- ties which Cranley and edeiza: would not have wasted.

"It seems I'm returning to my department for ﬂood." Mosson said.
