in his own peculiar way "You must ex-

out that this port wine, so carefully selected

DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND.

a noted sportsman taking dinner at one
Of our N. 7. Clubs, exhibited diamond
ring ofgreat beauty aud apparent value on
his finger. A gentleman present had
great passion for diamonds. After dinner
the parties met in the Office. After much
bantering, the owner of the ring consented
to barter the ring for six hundred dollars.
AS the buyer left the room, suppressed
tittering struck his ear. He concluded that
the former owner had sold both the ring ana
the purchaser. He said nothing, but called
the next day upon jeReller, where he
learned that the diamond was paste, and the
ring worth about twenty-five dollars, He
examined some real diamonds, and found
one closely resembling the paste in his own
ring. He hired the diamond for few days,
pledged twelve hundred dollars, the price Of
It, and gave hundred dollars for its use
He went to another jeweller, had the paste
removed, and the real diamond set His
chums, knowing how he had been imposed
upon, impatiently awaited his appearance
next night To their surprise they found him
in a rare gee He foursshed his ring, boasted
of his bargain and said if any gentleman pres
eut had a twelve hundred dollar ring to sell for
six hundred dollars, he knew Of purchaser.
When he was told that the ring was paste,
and that he had been cheated, he laughed
at their folly. Bets were freely offered that
the ring did not contain a real diamond
Two bet thousand dollars each. Two bet
FIVE hundred dollars. All were taken; um-
pires were chosen. The money and the
ring were put into their hands.
They went to a first class jeweller, who
applied all the tests, and who said the dia-
mond was stone of the first water, and
worth, without the setting, twelve hundred
dollars. The buyer put the three thousand
dollars which he had won quietly in his
pocket. He carried the diamond back and
recalled his twelve hundred dollars, and
with the paste ring on his finger went to the
club The man who sold the ring was wait
ing for him. He wanted to get the ring
back he attempted to turn the whole thing
into a Joke He sold the ring for fun; he
knew it WIS real diamond all the time He
never wore false jewels. lie could tell
rare diamond anywhere, by It's light He
would no, be so mean as to cheat an old
friend He knew his friend would e. him
have his ring again. But his friend was
stubborn-sail. that th9 seller thought il
was paste and intended to defraud him At
length on the payment of eight hundred
dollars, the ring was restored All parties
came to the conclusion, when the whole af

THE WEAVER

A weaver sat by the side Of his loom,
A hinging his shuttle fast;
And thread that would wear dll the hour of
doom
Was added at every cast
His warp had been by the angels spun,
And his weft was bright and new,
Like threads which the morning unbraids
from the Sun,
An jewelled over with dew.
And fresh-lipped, bright eyed, beautiful aow,
ers
IN the rich, soft web we're beddedi
And blithe to the weaver sped onward the
hours;
Not yet we're Times feet loaded
But something. there came slow stealing by,
and a shade on the fabric fell;
And saw that the shuttle less blithely did
fly,
For thought hath a vearisome SPELL
And thread that next DER the warp was
lain,
Was of melancholy grayi
And anon marked there tear drops stain,
Where the flowers had fallen away.
But still the weaver kept weaving on,
Though the fabric all was gray;
And the flowers, and the buds, and the leaves
were gone,
And the gold threads cankered lay.
RsaL II .:u ll.. - I,-l-,- s,ra,,,
Each newly woven thread;
And some there we're of death mocking hue,
And some of a bloody red.
All things all strange were woven I'M
Sighs, and down crushed hopes, and fears;
Aud the web was broken, and poor, and thin,
And it dripped with living tears.
And the weaver fain would have flung it aside
But he knew it would be a sin;
So in light aud in gloom ihe shuttle he piled,
A weaving these lile-cords in.
And as lie wove. and weeping, still woye,
A tempter stole him nigh
And with glazing word he p win h'.a strove,

DECLINE OF THE BLONDE.

A writer in the last number of the GALAXY
advances some ingenious theories in refer
ence to the color Of the hair and the com
pexion Of various races. Calling attention
to the prediction eviuced in ancient times
by the Greeks and other nations for golden
or yellow hair, he states thai as race we
are becoming melancomous, or dark haired,
an5 that efore long 'the blonde American
vii be known only in history. lie holds
ths twenty years ago iaiged- barred people
were much more numerous than at present
in our large centers Of population, and that
the children of immigrants to this country
are almost invariably darker in appearance
than their parents. Change Of climate does
not appear to him to be sufficient cause for
this effect; its influence is unquestionably
great, but not absolute. The ultimate dis
appearance of the Xanthous races which he
foretelIs will be brought about by the opera
tion of several causes. The mortality of the
blonde is greater than that of classes OF the
darker tyne, and the blondes are less prolific;
owing to certain mental characIeIlstlcs SUN
as want Of eonstancy-they are less likely to
get married than brunettes. The most i'm
portant reason appears to be that residence
in towns, and other circumstances and condi-
tons produced by our civilization, so affects
the race that in few generations it becomes
'.darkened. Thus, the nations who lead
an open air life, either as shepherds, far
mers. fishermen, and freebooterS-such as
the Northmen and Danes-Tere of type
more or less fair; and, on the other hand, ar
tisans and the dwellers in cities we're dark
haired. The Galaay writer, antieipat ng
some objections, denies the theory that the
Anglo Saxon race is deterorating here. de
thinks that we are much less plump than
Europeans, but that we are far more sinewy
and stronger.

THE CHEMISTRY OF AUTUMNAL
TINTS:

The striking change in the hues of the
foliage Of plants and trees during the autumn
months, can hardly fail to excite the wonder
and curiosity of the most indifferent obser-
YER Through what agency is this change
effected? We know that up to a certain
period of the year, when the vital sap flows
freely and the life principle in vegetable
growths is active, the prevailing hue Of the
leaves is of dazzling green, and that this
peculiar color is due to chemical principle
common to all plants called chlorophyl. This
substance in many respects resembles wax,
and is contained in the deep cells or nleso-
phylll,n. of the leaves. 1t may be readily
isolated or extracted from its reeeptacles,
and subjected to chemical examination.
Alcohol dissolves it readily, and from Its
solution it may be deposited in granular
form. 1t consists Of two separate principles,
one of which forms red compound with
acids, and the other yellow with alkalies
The blending of these two eoloring agents
under the modifying influence of vital action
produces the reflection of the green rays of
light; and thus our fields and forests are
clothed during the summer months in ''liv-
ing green. +" Light is the mysterious agent
which elaborates the cblorophyl; and while
it continues to exert its full influence the
green hue is sustained, and not until it de-
creases, upon the approach of autumn do
different tints appear. Frost is not neces-
sarily the agent which changes the Verdure
of the fields. Fsost may prematurely arrest
the vital forces in plants, and so modify the
acton of light as to prevent the elaboration
of chlorophyl. Ifno frost come, however,
the natural decrease in the amount Of solar
lirht at theclose ofsummer, and the exhaus-
ton Of plents consequent upon the matura.
ton Of the ife-principle, or seeds, would
cause the chemical changes which produce
the varied and beautiful hues Of autumu'
The tiuts are indeed much more beautiful il
5hey come in tha natural way, without the
Intervention Of frost The change takes
place both in the evergreen and deciduous
leaves, but is most marked and striking in
the latter. La the clear electrical atmosphere
of the Northern States, the display is most
gorgeous and pleasing; in no country IN the
world is it more so. Artists of establish
ed reputation have recently hardly ventured
to put upon canvas the marvellous rainbow
hues of our fields and forests, as seen in the
glourious month of October, and submit the
result Of their labors to English or French
criticism. The grossest exaggerations have
been charged upon such paintings by
those who have never witnessed the
magnifeence Of the display. Indeed,
we ourselves could hardly admit the faith
fulness of the coloriug without being witnes-
ses of its truthfulness. = Boston jour. Com.

Az EXTINCT FAMILY.

1t IS curious fact that there are nc
known descendants of Christopher Column
bus left on earth. He had two sons, one Of
whom, Don Diego, rose to distinction as an
admiral, and the other, Fernando, as >
scholar. Fernando was great traveller. He
not only thrice visited America, but subse-
quently traversed the whole of Europe and
almost every accessible portion of Asia and
Africa. He appears to have been profound
scholar and thoroughly good man. In
his will he stipulated that his library, con
tanning twenty thousand volumes, which he
gave to the Cathedral of Seville, should be
free to the people, and it is so to this day
From books in this collection the late Wash
ington Irving obtained considerable per
ton of the information on which his Life
of Columbus was founded. The following
quaint epitaph, almost oblitcrated By tine,
appears upon the tablet which marks the
site of his tonlb: What doth it profit me
10 have sirinkled the whole world with my
sweat; to have three times crossed 70 tiIe
new world discovered by my father; to have

TIE THIMRLE.

The name Of this little instrument is said
to have been derived from thumb bell, =
being at first thumble and afterward thim-
bic. It is OF Dutch invention, and was
brought to England about the year 1905, by
John Lofying, who commenced its manu-
lacture at Islington, near London, aud pur-
sued it with great profit and success.
Formerly iron and brass were used, but
latterly steel, silver and gold have taken
their places. In the ordinary manufacture,
thin plates of metal are introduced into a
die, and then punched into shape In Paris,
gold thimbes are manufactured to a large
extent. Thin sheets Of sheet-iron are cut
into dies of about two inches in diameter.
These being heated red-hot, are struck with
a punch into a number of holes, gradually
increasing in depth to give them proper
shape The thimble is then trimmed, pol
ished, and indented around its outer surface
with a number of little holes, by means of
a small wheel 1t is then converted into
steel by the ceHentation process, tempered,
secured. and brought to a blue color. A
thin sheet of gold is then introduced into
the interior and fastened to the steel By
means of a polished steel mandril Gold
leaf is then applied to the outside, and
attached to it by pressure, the edges being
fastened in a small groove made to receive
them. The thimblc is then ready for use
Those made in this manner do not wear OUT,
as 50 many ordinary gold thimbIes do, but
will last for years. The gold coating, if cut
away by needles, may be easily replaced, but
the steel is of an excellent quality and very
durable.
