The peculiar property of tbe turquoise, of becoming dirty green in color as It gives np its moisture, led to a belief that Its change In color foretold mis fortune, and hence the oriental prov erb that tbe turquoise pales when tbe ell being of the giver Is In danger.

Nothing la tit be done blch la not un: fully Justified by the laws of nation and humanity; nothing la to bo done for expedlencey; nothing Is to be done which Is not legal and Just. With hope for peace and readiness to meet war If It must be. the presl dent has made It clear to all his offl clals that the course of the I'nltod States, difficult as It is, must be en tlrely beyond criticism. To that end, German rights and prop erty In the United States are to have full protection of law and the presl dents wlBhes every American citizen to forbear from any thought or act which might leud his country nearer to war. Hope that Germany might at the last moment modify hor declaration of un restricted submarine warfare was al most dissipated today by the news dis patches from Berlin, which cave the word of high German officials that there would be no turning back.

It Is not alone In tho charges of res taurants and cubareta that tbe roister ing thousands bare raised havoc this winter In New York. Theater tickets. for example, have become a prohibitive luxury for the average man and In New York may cost almost anything. Upon one occasion after tho season bad got well under wsy an attempt was made on a Friday to buy orches tra seats for the next Saturday night for any one of the ten best drawlug attractions In tho city. To begin with, It seemed thnt all tickets bad got Into the hands of simulators; also that tbe speculators had alreudy disposed of tbe bulk of tbclr supplies and, thirdly, that such left over, none too good seats as tbey still had could not be obtained for less than $5 apiece. There was a particular rush at tbe time this attempt was made, but nev ertheless under conditions normal to this year the good seats for successful productions cannot prevailingly be se cured for less than $5 apiece, and tbe best seats are usually half as much again, mounting higher toward tbe end of any week. Cameron Mackenzie In Saturday Evening Post. Whan Buffaloea 8wept tha Plalna. In pioneer days the railroads cross ing the plains were often delayed for many hours by buffaloes. In 1871 and 1872 trains on the Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe railroad were charged by the enraged beasts, cars were do- rolled and overturned and the lives or train crews and passengers endanger ed. Many tales of hairbreadth escacs were related by small parties of sol diers, frontiersmen aud emigrants, and It is possible that many an emigrant wagon with its occupants that left the Missouri river and was never seen again was overwhelmed by tbe buffa loes rather than wiped out of existence by tbe Indians, to whom all unexplain ed dlsapix'a ranees were attributed. Urge buffalo bulla weighed 2,000 pounds or more, and cows weighed In the neighborhood of 1,200 pounds. Herds numlterlng many thousands were really Irresistible and In a stampede carried all before them. The Senator's Saroaam.
