once d ,.-, ••.■• \ did you have a good timej this question has been asked me so often since my return from new or leans that i am constrained to give my friends a little taste of just the kind of a good time i had and allow the generous reader to say if it was a good time or no when not in the office our head quarters at the head of the exhibit — i was most always to be found in the large mineral division which w is a ve ry attractive place i assure you as we bad many rich and ran bea ities there part of my duty was to explain those minerals tell where they were found and interest the visitor in the exhibit ; impress on him the advantages that north carulina offered to intelligent labor and capital this was very en tertaining work especially when you had an interested intelligent listener who was enquiring for a purpose but the great mass of visitors were mere cu riosity hunters people who were look ing for something to amuse them — and from that class 1 shall draw but a sin gle sample the day was warm excessively so in that vast building where there was prac tically no ventilation and i am en gaged in arranging the gold nuggets and gems in show cases trying to pro duce pleasing effects a voice near says where are the gems i look up and bow to a stylishly dressed lady of well rounded propor tions in fact she might be considered stout by some — a mere matter of taste you know — and replied i am just removing them from the safe they will be ready for inspection i in a moment they tell me you have some very large diamonds here i wish to see them no we have no diamonds on exhi bition though our state has produced some very pretty diamonds what state is yours north carolina ' tell me please what is that curious looking stone with red hair in it that is venus hair or arrows of love stone the mineral name is sagenite where is that from several localities — lredell and alex ander counties produce choice speci mens an those counties in north car olina yes it's real curious isn't it " yes what are those long green glass things those are emeralds what do you mean real emeralds yes they are real emeralds and i am proud to say that our state furnish es the finest specimens found in this country are they from north carolina yes everything in this collection is from north carolina do tell me what they are made of they are not manufactured — they are real crystals it can't be that they are real emer alds because emeralds are more valua ble than diamonds i know because my sister jane who married last fall had a little bit of an emerald which cost forty-live dollars those are too large to be real emeralds they are real emeralds and while they are h'jie specimens they are not suitable for cutting gems perfectly pure emeralds are both rare and valuable you will observe that those have feath ery haws and also that the crystal has at very short intervals cleavage marks these reduce the value of the specimens because gems cannot be made from hawed stones that longest one is worth four hundred dollars as a cabinet specimen is that all i am sure it can't be real for that price this one in the ring looks better — it's about the size of sister jane's — her's is very pretty the stone set in the ring is not an emerald it is the new gem hiddenite and is worth two hundred and twenty five dollars hut it is green it looks like emerald and it must be emerald i never heard of hiddenite where is it from hiddenite is an entirely new gem found only in north carolina and in only one county — alexander and is entirely different from the emerald we'll that is strange i never heard of it before you say it is from north carolina yes what is the difference between em erald and hiddenite they differ in almost every particu lar in crystaline form and in their ba sic elements what does that mean it means that one is a hexagonal prysm and the other monoclinic in crys taline form and that one the emerald has glucina as a basic element while the hiddenite has lithia i don't understand yet they are both green the rich green color in each is due to the presence of the oxide of chromi um that much they have in common then ] can't see why one is called emerald and the other hiddenite they have the same color the emerald belongs to the family of beryls while the hiddenite is a varei i ty of spodumene and is called hidden j itc after the gentleman who first brought it into prominence who was he mr hidden how did he first find it he was looking for other minerals when he found some of these rich green crystals ami sending them to a scien tist they were analized and pronounc ed so rare as to deserve a distinguishing name and he called it hiddenite why that is very interesting — i did not know north carolina produced so many gems are all the gems in this case from north carolina yes by this time i was beginning to feel tired and warm and my mouth was real dry but there was no escape wip ing the perspiration from my face i stood resigned for what was to follow what is that large yellow stone i began by calling her attention to the labels great care had been taken to have everything labeled in the most elaborate manner and in a large bold hand she seemed to take no interest in the labels so i leaned over the show case and began reading the label for her the large yellow stone is the hen dricks gem yes i see but what is it i continued reading the most ex quisite citrine topaz — it is a topaz where was it found 1 still reading found in 1s79 in burke county n 0 % 1 see the new york exhibit has the cleveland gem yes why is this called the hendricks gem i presume it was a fancy of the owner who is the owner mr hidden where did lie get it found it in burke county in 1879 it is said that the cleveland gem was offered to mr cleveland and he de clined it was this ever offered to mr hendricks i think not will it be li not that i know of don.t you think he would take it i do not know then why is it called the hendricks gem i'm sure i do not know unless it is a wild freak of the half crazed owner 0 is he crazy no but he has gone home to rest he explained these minerals until he was taken sick do you find this climate trying yes very 1 suffer greatly — wiping the beads of perspiration from my face again and so all this jewelry is from north carolina yes well if i find sister jane — it's like looking for a needle in a hay stack to find anybody here i'll bring her by this evening i know she will be glad to have you tell her about these things good morning good morning don't whine boy's

at their display of an unbecoming fondness for pet cats now that there is danger to them even from falling in love with cats we copy the following horrible picture from the xew york times as a hint against a vulgar and obnoxious habit u the woman who was arrested the other day on the charge of habitual and disorderly cat keeping was a mel ancholy example of the effects of in temperance in cats she confessed that she habitually kept eighteen cats and their kittens in her rooms and her ap pearance showed that she was wholly i incapable of reformation intemperance in cats is a feminine j vice and it is very seldom that a man becomes addicted to it the countess delia torre who is frequently brought before the london police courts some times keeps as many as sixty or seventy cats and other women almost as bad 1 are from time to time mentioned in the english police reports in some of these cases the thirst for cats is probably in herited and in others intemperance in cats is due to moral weakness and ab sence of self-control usually however it is misery which draws women to cats they seek in the society of those de j moralizing animals forgetfulness of the miseries of daily life and a temporary j excitement the subsidence of which plunges them still deeper in misery the passion for cats whatever may be its origin in any individual case is the sure ruin of the wretched woman who yields to it under the fatal fas cination of cats she loses all interest in high and noble things she neglects her proper occupation and forgets her friends she cares for nothing but to shut herself up in her room and there indulge in reckless and prolonged in temperance in cats at a later stage in her career she loses all sense of shame and does not hesitate to show herself surrounded by cats she reduces her self to abject poverty by squandering her money on cats and if she escapes imprisonment as a disorderly cat keeper she is finally found dead in the midst of her cats the possibility of such degradation could hardly fail to deter any woman from indulging in cats were it placed fairly before her and it is the duty of philanthropic women to leave no means untried to promote to tal abstinence from cats among those of the weaker sex a talk with the girls come girls let me tell you some thing you all look so nice in your pretty home dresses with your busy fingers employd in fancy
