The torquoise is believed to be especially
rich in virtues. The Germans claim that
•y its varying shades it turns lell-itale on
the caprices and moods of its wearer. Car
dan. the famous Italian physician and phi
losopher. asserted that turquoise mounted
and worn as a finger ring secured a horse
man from all injury, and added with com
mendable caution, that be had a beauti
ful turquoise given him as a keepsake, but
never tested its virtues, no; -caring for the
sake of experiment to risk his life. Shake
speare caused Shylock to say: “'He would
not have lost his turquise ring for a whole
wilderness of monkeys.” Cainilius Leoni
das. a writer of pas ceniurtis, wrote much
that was interesting about jewels. He
naniese a number that are either no longer
found or eli#? they are creations of his im
aginations. Leonidue states that the ale
<oria not alone renders a man invisible,
out being held in the mouth allays thirst.”
she stone, doubtless of his fancy is found
n the intetines of a capon that has lived
seven years. Again, he tells of. the be
zoar. a red, dusty. brittle and light stone,
which is taken from ihe body of some -ani
u.il, and is infallible against melancholy.
H« credits Queen Elizabeth with wearing
he bozoar. Four famous rings of histori
•al interest were those presented by Pope
innocent to King John. The monarch was
urged to note with extreme care the shape
of the rings, their number, four, being a
square. typified firmness of mind, fixed
steadfastly on the. four cardinal vinuese.
The blue of the saphire denoted faith, ihe
green of the emerald, hope; the crimson
or the ruby, charity, and the splendor of
the topaz, good works. The rings them
selves represented eternity, with neither
beginning nor end; gold, which was the
material, and. according to Solomon, the
most precious of metals, signified wisdom,
more to be desired than riches and power.

COLONY NEAR WAYCROSS.
Interesting Settlement of Ohio People in
Wd»-e County.
Maycross, Ga., Dec. 22 —The Duke colony
is growing in interest as the days go by.
There are about fifteen or twenty families
in the settlement, and the number will be
doubled by March Ist. The contract with
- W. T. Lott & Co., the former owners of the
Duke property, specifies that forty fami-
■ lies, actual settlers, are to locate there.
The tract of land consists of 768’,-i acres,
including the old mill and town site. The
purchase price was $3,000 to be paid in five
years. All business of the settlement is
conducted on the co-operative system.
I There are forty shares, each one having
a fortieth interest in the farming lands as
well as the town property. An initiation ]
fee of $5 is required of each member, and
as the installments fall due on the prop
erty he pays his pro rata share. There are
about seventy-five houses in the town, but
I only forty are suitable for the people to I
live in. Some of them are excellent dwell- I
ings erected by the managers of the mill I
prior to their removal from that point. |
Duke is seven miles’ west of Waycross on ’
i the Plant system.
\ newspaper will be started at Duke in
J a few days. j- j s pe<ng moved from Cin
cinnati, where it has been published the
past two years. The paper Is called Self-
Reliance, and has been a reform sheet, blit
, the editor, Ezra James, says he will drop
i the reform feature and run the paper in
1 i the interest of the colony and immigra-
• tion. The editor, by the way, is the father
of nine living children and ’five or six
dead. Twins have been born into his home
three times.
The colonists will celebrate Christmas
‘ by having a big dinner in which ail the
members of the settlement will unite. A
number rnf Northern people from other
■ places will be invited.
A party of colonists left Dayton. 0..
November 14rh for Duke, traveling by
. | private conveyance. On the 10th of Decem
i her they were at Knoxville, Tnn., and they
' are expected in Duke the middle of Jan-
1 uary, making the trip in about sixty days.

TREE FULL OF FRUIT,
Oranges Raised in Troupe County and
Sold in La Grange-
LaGrange, Ga., Dec. 22—A noveJ and
beautiful sight appeared on the public
I square yesterday about noon—-a real live
i orang? tree with its rich green leaves and
I | it-s perfectly matured golden fruit hamming
from its many pendants was sold for
I $12.50, The tree is ten feet high, its stock
or (body measures nine inches in circum
ference, while its limbs run out about two
’ and a half feet on every side, this giving
it a symmetrical shape. It was grown by
I Miss Howard Birdsong, who lives about
“ twelve miles from town, in the Antioch
neighborhood, who had her brother to
bring it to town and sell it, Miss 'Mollie
Rowland being the buyer. The tree is
‘ growing in a large box and this year pro
duced forty-six perfect oranges, most of
i which are now ripe and hanging on it.
The buish is nine years old, having been
killed down to the ground when about two
years old. in the winter Miss Birdsong
kept it in the hall of her house to protect
i it from the cold.

The most critical period in a woman’s
life may be properly called “ Blossoming
Time.’’ It is the period when she blossoms
from girlhood into wopianhood.
At this momentous time the best medi
cine for a woman take is Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription. It acts directly up
on the delicate and important organs that
are to bear the burdens of wifehood and
motherhood. It makes them strong,
healthy and vigorous. It corrects all
irregularities and displacements and stops
exhausting drains. Taken during the pe
riod of expectant maternity, it banishes
the usual annoyances and makes baby’s
coming easy and almost painless. It in
sures the new-comer's health and an ample
supply of nourishment. It transforms
weak, sickly, nervous, complaining wo
men into happy, healthy wives. Thou
sands of women have told over their own
signatures, the story of the marvelous
merits of this great medicine. An hon
est dealer will not try to persuade you
to take something different from what you
ask for. for the sake of a few pennies ad
ded profit.
Mrs. Anna Ulrich, of Elm Creek, Buffalo
Co., Neb., writes : “ I was under doctors' care
for two years with uterine disease. I was so
weak that I could sit up in bed only a few mo
ments. I commenced taking Dr. Pierce’s Fa
vorite Prescription and when I had taken one
half dozen bottles I wa- up and goim* wherever
I pleased, and have been very strong ever since
—that was two years and a half ago. - ’
