By far the largest part of the world's turquoise comes from the mines neat the Persian city o f Nishapur, where Omar Khayyam was born and lies bur ied. The mines are situated iu a range of mountains rising to the height ol 6,055 feet. The highest point at which turquoises have been found is 5,800 feet above sea level and the lowest 4,800 feet. The geologic formation ot the Nlsbapnr mountains Is porphyries, greenstone, limestone and sandstone the turquoise being found in veins I d the rock.

If you have an opportunity at any time of examining u sword such as is used in naval and milltury services you may notice that just below the blit, an inch or two down the blade, there is a small disk of brass welded into the blade. The meaning o f this brass might well escape any one not possessed o f a well developed sense o f curiosity. Swords are subjected to very severe tests before being issued, and this brass piece indicates that one of *he tests to which the sword was subject ed was to have its point bent right back until it touched the blit at the brass spot. Swords that have success fully withstood this severe test are trustworthy.—London Chronicle. obtained from others R e m o rse . “ For two years after I was married I was ashamed to meet the preacher who united iny w ife and me in the holy bonds.
