should be parted modestly in the

lowed which resulted in declara-
ton on the part Of the angry youth
that he had taken a firm stand that
the hair must be redressed, or he
would never look upon it again. To
this the girl replied that he might

Artificial Gems.

No other gem, says a writer in Lip
pincott for June, has been. counter
feited with such perfection as the emer-
aid and in fact it is utterly impossible
to distinguish the artificial from the
real gems by the aid of the eye alone
even the little flaws which lull the sus-
picions of the inexperienced are easily
produced by dexterous blow from the
mallet of the skillful artisan. Not only
emeralds but most of the gems and pre-
cious stones are now initiated with such
consumate skill as to deceive the eye,
and none but experts are aware of the
extent to which these fictitious gems
are worn in fashionable society, for of
tentimes the wearers themselves imag-
inc that they possess the real stones.
There is not one in hundred of jewel
ers who is acquainted with the physical
properties of the gems, and very few
can distinguish the diamond from the
1cron or the white topaz, the emerald
from the fourmaline of similar hue, the
sapphire from the iolite, or the topaz
from the Bohemian yellow quartz. Jew
elers are governed generally by sight,
which they believe infallible, whilst
hardness and specific gravity are the
only sure tests. Artificial gems rival
ing in beauty of color the most brilliant
and delicately tinted of the productions
of nature are now made at Paris and
other European cities. The establish
ments at Septmoncel in the Jura alone
employ a thousand persons, and fabu-
lous quantities of the glittering pastes
are made there and sent to all parts of
the world.
