" But the value ot a good-sized diamond cannot approach that of a ruby of the correct color and similar dimensions. " The worth of smadl rubies â€" stones that are of less thau a caratâ€" is, if any- thing, raliier leto than that of diau^ ondA of a like dtiscrlptiuu, but liie rare occurrence of large specimens of that dark caruiue tint which is looked up- on as the sine qua non ^of a perfect ruby causes the value of these gems to iuroeasc in a far greater propor- tion than iu the tase of diamuuds. Ru- bies weighing more than four carals are so exceplioutul that when a per- fect one of fivt carata is brought to the luurket it will I'ommand ten times a^ high a sum as a diamond of the same weight, while rubieu of six carala, wituout crack or flaw, and of the pro- yer color, would, in all probability, bring as high a pric« as 9^.000 (>er. carat, or fifteen times as mucli as a diaiii'ond of like size and faultlecrisness.

" The law which gave fine rulMes to the ruler otf the land has undoubtedly cause.l tbe destruction in modern times of many niaguiXicent apecjmens of this gem, for the fimlers of larger stones than usual have, whenever the oppor- tunity was favorablle, broken theiu in- to fniguients, each weighing less than a carat, to insure tbemselvea tha i>oa^ session of M>veiral rubies incouxparab- ly less valuable, it is true, than tlic urigina.!. in which th«y were once uni^, led. hut still their own instead of the king's." , man with a Southern accent entered a i restaurant, and seated himself at one of the tables.
