Shakespeare was right In thus repr senting the turquolse as specially jpre- cious in the eyes of a wealthy inhabitant ot luxurious Venice, possessed of an Ori- | ental appreciation of the beauty of gems. | In the sixteenth century, when he wrote, ! the turquoise wae universally regarded | as perhaps the most excellent subjeot of | was turquoise; 1 Iupidary art. One of the carly sources of the tur quoise was in the wild, rugged mountain peninsula of Sinai, But still more famous, rom the dawn of civilization to the pres- ent time, have been the turqowse deposits | of Nishapur, i Persia, near the Casplan sea.' The Persiun stories were always regarded: as tho finest: Of late years, however, the supply has been falling, and the majority of turquolses now put on._the market come from other parts of the world, and largely from New Mexico and Arizona. The characteristic color is an exquisite biue; or greenish-blue. The most prev jous possess the so-called ‘‘robin's egg’ tint." In composition the stone is a hy- drous phosphate of aluminum containing a littlo copper, to which the color is due. | It 1s not as hard as quartz and is not crystalline in structure, but = forms nodyles in rock of igneous origin, It has o waxy lustre, which shows a beau- utul play of light. In former times the turquolse was & royal jewel, and the earllest Egyptian Kipgs hsd fine gold ornaments inlaid with turquoises buried with them In thelr tofbs. great value was set upon the turquoise. Lt nowhere was the stone more highly esteemed than in Mexico in the times of | the conquest of Cortex. The Aztecs, in mecordance with their gloomy, supersti- tious character, regarded the turquolse with religlous veneration, and used it to orpament the jewelry and ceremonial ap- paratus of the priests. In Arizona and New Mexico the tur- quoise was equally esteemed by the na- tives, and the Spanish explorers found many beautiful examples of fewelry work containing turquolses. Prof. Pogue, in his address, mentions four factors to which the wide use of the turquoise may be attributed. These are: ‘‘l—Its char- acteristic ocgurrence in desert reiigions, due to peculiar geologic conditions there obtaining, in positions of significant con- tact with early trade routes and lines of important migrations; 2—{ts presence at or near the surface In such occurrences; 3-its comparative softness, enabling it to be werked with crude toqls; 4—its dis- tinctive color range, from the blue of the sky to the green of water and plants, making a strong psychological appeal to uncivilized peoples.” The Mexican mineral “chalchihuitl” which was also greatly esteemed by the Aztecs, is similar to turquoise, and is sometimes confused with it. There is also a substance called “bone turquoise,” which consists of fossil bone stained blue with phosphate of fron.

No acknowledg- ment was sent to her, and even a letter of inquiry, after more than six months, brought no reply.

Two or three brief notes of appreciation and gratitude followed in quick succession; then utter silence while months bullded themselves into a year.

Through & newspaper item the woman |learned the interesting experiences which had come into the young woman's Iife. 1t would seem that a sense of comnmon decency, womanliness and courtesy would have caused this young woman to write her benefactor immediately of the avenues opening up before her and of the interesting experiences through which #he was passing, These are but a few illustrations of what seems to be an almost universal habit of the borrowers of the world, To lend money to one's friend seems almost invariably to ceuse s deterforation of character and & loss of high ideals and nobility of thought In the borrower. It may be urged by the borrowers that they feel sensitive in regard to their debt and do mot lke to write until they are able to liquidate it. But if they are not too sensitive to ask such favors they should not be too sensitive to refer to them after they have been granted. There are shining exceptions, of course, to these dark examples.
