pale The birth stone superstition I* of
Polish origin. Nearly every nation,
however, has contributed something to
the folklore of the ruby. The Kgyp
tmn* credited It with the power of dis
pelling melancholy and quenching
thirst In the denert. Th# Hindoo# say
that It warns Its owner of danger, and
that It inspires the lover of « women
who wears It to brave and noble deeds.
It has been hailed as the peacemaking
stone, for it calms anger and restrains
inordinate Imagination.
But perhaps the most poetic of all the
myths associated with the "king of
gems” 1* the Persian legend of the elixir
of life, which an angel brought to Sul
tan Sulleman. The precious draft was
contained in a ruby cup. formed of the
sunset rays solidified, and the monarch
waa bidden to drink It If he would have
everlasting youth on earth. He took
counsel with the djlns. the peris, with
men and women, with beasts and birds.
All advised him to drink and to become
Immortal, all save the dove, who. sum
moned from her nest, paused to ask If
the gift of perpetual life emtended also
to those whom Sulleman loved. • Nay,'’
said the king. the cup is for me
alone." "Then." said the tvbite dove,
"better were death than life 1 ere ft of
love." Sulleman. seeing, as In a vision,
the long, dark vista of the barren
years, shuddered and dashed the fatal
rup to the ground, and the dove flew
back to her nest In haste, lest her eggs

Telephone Girls and Tbrlr Dress.
With the provision of new and hyglen-
Ically constructed telephone stations for
Vienna has come a reform in the dress
of the girls employed. Experience has
shown that the dust clinging to th#
dresses of the telephone girls when they
arrive at work finds Its way to the In
struments and brings about a disturb
ance In the telephonic service. To avoid
this the girls will now be required to
wearet uniform during office hours. On
arrival they are to remove their street
dresses and put on others provided by
the government, made up of stuff simi
lar to that used for dust cloaks. Ths
material Is dark in color, and on the
are yellow stripes, in imitation
of the national colors. The girls are
also compelled to take off their outdoor
shoes and substitute for them a siipper
tike shoe. ________
