. ytwJlWV) NS5S?! Ull jjBlnsrti aniifiiiiiiiiii i ii THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1907. V, In Royal Jewels Of The World Bernhardt, Dusc, Molba, Christine Hilsson, Judic, and others nro own ers of fine jewels; but Pnttl, tho Bpollt child of two hemispheres, queen of song even today, notwith standing her G3 years, possesses tho finest diamonds, turquoises, and rubies of them all. Tho gems she carried away as a girl from Russia constituted ono small fortune thoso the Rothschilds have given her another. Queen Isabella of Spain, a good singer herself, bestowed sap phires and an amethyst brooch sur xounded with pearls; a comb set -with thirty-three brilliants was the gift of tho Empress Eugenie; tho emperors of Germany, Austria, and Russia loaded her with diamonds; even Queen Victoria sent a ruby and diamond bangle a small one, 'tis true but still Victorian, so Patti prizes It. The treasures in her safe aro inumerable fans heavy with 3ewels; a golden canary set with yellow diamonds; and a llttlo brace let, the gift of the subscribers at tho St. Petersburg opera house a stave of music in gold, and on it, indicat ed In largo rubles and diamonds, tho notes la, do, re, "i'Adoree," which, Indeed, she was, of those passionate lovers of music. Most Valuable opnl In tho world Is In Vienna. The most valuablo opal in the -world is to bo seen in tho imperial cabinet at Vienna. Another, worn toy the Empress Josephine, known as the "Burning of Troy", which is only a llttlo less magnificent, is in tho possession of the marchioness of Uute. How the idea aroso in the first instance that "the broken raln Tjow of tho unlucky opal" brought Ill-luck it Is not easy to tell. Somo allege that the word Is derived from tho Greek for an eye, that the gem shares tho evil influence of a pea cock's feather and acts as a spy In tho house; others that the opal only got its reputation after Sir Walter Scott had connected it with bad luck In "Anno of Geierstein." Certain It Is, however, that strango coinci dences have been observed in con nection with this stone. Alfonso XII, of Spain, presented en opal ring to his young wife Mercedes on their wedding day, and her sudden death occurred shortly afterwards. Before her funeral had taken place tho king bestowed this ring on his sister, Maria del Pilar, and she only survived three days. Alfonso then offered tho ring to his sister-in-law, Princess Christina, who died in three months. He then resolved to wear the opal himself, and his life camo shortly to an end. His widow, fear ing its fatal Influence, kissed tho ring, attached it to a chain, and hung it around tho neck of tho sta tue of the Virgin of Almudena, In a church in Madrid. Pearls ns Well ns Opnls Said to Be Unlucky. But pearls also have been accused more than onco of exercising a ma lign influence. When tho Empress Eugenlo was finishing her bridal toilet, before starting for the great marriage ceremony at Notre Dame, an old Spanish servant entreated her not to wear her pearl necklace. "Remember our Spanish proverb, the more pearls a woman wears on her marriage day the moro tears she will shed after." The empress did wear the necklace, and her sad fato is known to all. With the exception of gamblers, there aro no such superstitious per sons in tho world today as royalties. Both King Edward and the kaiser, however little they resemble ono another in many respects, share one weakness in common. Uncle and nephew each wears a bangle, and pins his faith to it for luck. A little breast-pin, in tho form of a clover leaf, made of diamonds and emer alds closely set, was won long years ago at a raffle by the Empress Eu genie. Regarding it as a mascot, she wore it continuously until mis fortune overwhelmed her, and tho emperor died. When her only son, tho prince Imperial, went to fight in the Zulu war, sho once moro pinned it on, but took it off forever when the news came that the poor fellow had met a soldier's death.

Ono of tho most interesting sides of my kind of work," said a young phy siological chemist, "is to como upon tho many instances which occur where scientific investigation pioves up to tho hilt somo popular view that Is expressed In a proverb or century- r.1.1 r.4-n.r "Take, for instance, that saying which one often hears especially If j ono has lived much in boarding houses and restaurants I mean thoj saying that such and such a pieco of ( meat 'is as tough as boot leather,' or, 'as tough as an old boot.' "Now, although tho comparison does not pretend to be scieutiile, It Is far from being Incorrect, as an elab orate Investigation made by Metchin lcoff, tho head of tho Pasteur Insti tute, in Paris, has recently shown, and which my own experience veri fies. "As a matter of fact, much meat flesh that Is used has a very real af finity to shoo leather, not only being hard and tough, but actually in its very substance! "Boot leather is made from tho hldo of animals, as wo all know that Is to bay, It is mado of very re sistant material, which scicntibts term 'connective tissue.' This con sists of a very dense mass of flbio, mingled with living elements, called connectivo tissue cells.' This tissuo is very durablo, and henco it is em ployed for boots and shoes. "In tho case of old animals, their organs, and, to a lesser degree, their flesh becomes mingled with a connec tivo tissuo, which renders tho ilesh tough and unpalatablo when it gets Into tho hands of cooks or house-i wives. Practically, it Is as 'tough as old shoo leather!' " The Dull Scholar Many a so-called dull scholar Is so becauso of somo defect of tho eyes. Don't neglect tho eyes of your children.
