Burning Diamonds.

In the year 1894, IL was discovered, by
actual experiment, at Florence, that n
diamond would burn. Cosmo III had
one fixed in the focus of burning glass,
and after some exposure to the rays of the
sun, it cracked, corruscated and finally
disappeared like ghost, leaving no
trace behind. Experiments of this kind
were costly. They were long in yielding
any scientific results. 1t was only a
sovereign prince who could Afford to see
his jewels vanish like the gifts of fairy
godmother. Another potentate, the
Emperor Francis i, tried number of
valuable diamonds in the heat of a
smelling furnace, and may have felt
some qualification in finding they had
disappeared. This was in 1850, and
about twenty years later magnificent
diamond was burned in France. A
jeweer named LIE Blame denied the
possibility of burning diamonds, and
suspected some unfair play on the part
of Macquer, the chemist who conducted
the operation. He had often, he asserted,
exposed diamonds to great heat, with
the sole result of increasing their bril-
liancy. Mr.. Streeter has done the same,
with success. But LIE Blame only Fnew
half of what Mr.. Streeter knows, and
when the chemist demanded that he
should inclose some diamonds in coal in
crucible, he rashly assented, and in
three hours they had all disappeared.
Then another jeweler, Willard by name,
who seems to have had a suspicion of the
truth, put three diamonds into an
earthen-bowl pipe, packed in powdered
charcoal, and exposed them, without in
Jury, to intense heat. Lavoister, who
was present, proved, in 1776, that by
shutting out the air the diamond was
preserved in furnace, but that the
admission of oxygen, with which the
carbon combines, allows the diamond to
burn like piece of coal.

Beaver (utah) Square Dealer. !

An instance of what an Apache In
dian will do in the way of cool daring,
when the prize is worth the risk, once
occurred on ranch in Arizona. The
owner of the ranch was All American.
To guard against the Apaches he had
built blockhouse, and, adjoining it, a
courtyard and corral, surrounded by an
adobe wall eight feet high and two feet
thick. In the corral the herd was
nightly secured. He had a contract TO
feed and guard four hundred head of
beef cattle belonging to the United
States fort, some thirty miles away.
More than one attempt had been made
by the Apaches to capture the herd
while feeding two or three miles from
the blockhouse. But the vigilant herds
man had driven the cattle in gallop
into the corral before the Indians could
stampede" them. One night there
came fearful storm. A solitary
Apache, unarmed, and with nothing
but blanket to protect him from the
cold rain, climbed over the corral wall ;
crouching in the corner he waited for
day Early in the morning, the storm
having passed away, eight herdsmen,
mounted and armed, waited at the cor
RAILS gate for the herd to be turned out
The gate was opened. The stock poured
out. Suddenly up sprang the Apache
vaulting on the nearest horse, he
clutched his name with one hand, while,
with the other, he waved his red blanket
and yelled like demon. In an instant
every hoof made rush and the STAN
pede began. The horse, frightened,
darted into the midst of the flying cat
tie. AS in a frenzy they went through
the gateway, the Apache clasped his
arms around the horses neck, and
throwing his body on one side Of the
maddened animal, disappeared from
view. A thousand men ranged in col
umn could not stop that rush of the
crazed herd down that valley. The
herdsmen fred voiley which wounded
and killed some of the cattle. Two
bands of Apaches, darting out from op
posite sides of the valley, closed up be-
hind the herd. -Four hundred head o.
cattle were thus captured and run of
ty the daring and cunning of on'
Apache.

A case is on record of a woman whose
brain was exposed, in consequence Of
the removal of considerable portion OF
its bony covering by disease. 1t wa,
said pressure on the brain suspended
all feelings and all intellect, which were
instantly restored when the pressure
was withdrawn.
When bell-ringing first arose il car
not readily be ascertained. 1t is said
that bells were invented by Paulinus
Bishop of Nola, Italy, at the commence
ment of the fifth century. In ESQ, &C.
cording to Venerable Bede, they were
used in Brittany, France, and thence
perhaps brought into England.
In aduiterating tobacco and cigars
the flavor is varied to suit the most di
verse tastes, but the usual object seems
to be to impart to it pleasing swee mes.
of tone. Accordingly saccharine mat
ter, and especially treacle, is very largely
pressed into the service. For those who
like rather more decided taste, licor.
ice, salt, logwood, glycerine and aniseed
are used.
The French revolution is said TO have
brought in the horrible stove-pipe hat,
which is of all head-coverings the most
inconvenient and disagreeable, and
which has had the longest reign of any
sort of head gear. 1t would be satisfac-
tory to hear one good reason given for
the attachment of mankind to this ugly,
inconvenient, hot, tight hat, but none
has ever been given.
A singular feature OF the marine
landscapes between Terra del Fuego, in
South America, and the contiguous
mainland is the floating gardens of sea-
weed. The plat frequently grows to a
length of between three hundred and
four hundred feet. 1t gives cover and
pasturage to every species of shell-fsh,
great and small, while the intertangled
mass, swinging like ponderous curtain
in the water, effectually breaks the
shock of the most tremendous rollers.
Wind vehicles, fitted with sails, masts,
ETC., are now in use on the long stretches
of tracks which extend over the West
ern prairies, and the speed rivals that of

convey repairing parties to pumps, tele-
graph lines, ETC., along the route. They
are, of course, exceedingly cheap to con-
struct and maintain, and save the labor
involved in running hand-car.

Household Hints.

Mrs. Beecher gives lin the Christian
Union the following household hints:
Never wash mirrors with a cloth, but
after removing all dust from the mirror
and frame with and old silk handker-
chief or feather duster, dampen an old
newspaper, and rub the surface of
the mirror till perfectly clear and free
from spots; then wipe off all the moist
ure with a dry paper, and the mirror
will be as clear as glass can be-without
notes or streaks, as is the case when it
is washed and polished with cloth.
When the chromos require cleaning,
remove all dust with feather brush,
and wipe carefully with soft chamois
skin, or fine linen cloth, very slightly
damped If little spotted or dull, a
drop of oil on the channels will remove
it. If the varnish is dull or rubbed of,
re-varnish it with thin mastic varnish.
Like oil paintings, it is not desi rable to
hang chromos in dark room but never
expose them to the direct rays of the
sun.
Tinware looks much nicer when
washed in hot water with milk instead
of soap, and will not require the rough
securing which is 80 commonly used by
servants, and which soon wears off all
the tin, leaving rusty, useless article,
neither iron nor tin.
Soapstone hearths should be first
washed in pure water, and then well
sprinkled with powdered marble and
soapstone, and rubbed with a piece of
the same stone.

Mrs. Bismarck.

The wife of Prince Bismarck, johanna
Won Putkammer, of an old and noble
Pomeranian family, was born in 1924
He made her acquaintance at the mar
riage of one of his friends, where she
acted as bridesmaid, and two years later
in 1847-he asked her to become his
wife. Her family was not at first dis
posed to accept his proposals. AT that
time Herr Won Bismarck enjoyed q
rather curious reputation. He was sur
named "der totle Bismarck" (mad Bis
marck), and had earned this title by his
numerous duels, his daring feats OF
workmanship, and some widely-spread
anecdotes concerning his attitude gen.
orally toward professors, burgomasters
and other respectable members of what
German students call Philistine so.
ciety." But more especially he owed
his surname to the very noisy revels he
used to hold with number of exceed
ingly loud young men at Kniephof and
at Schoenhausen. To quiet, respectable
religious people like the Putkammers
he did not appear very eligible sutton
for an only and beloved child. Bismarck
however, settled the question at once
He walked up to Miss Johanna, and
having ascertained by a look that she
sided with him, he folded her in hi
arms, and said, turning to her astonishec
relatives, "Wbat God has united, nc
man shall put asunder." Princess Bis
marck has preserved all the simplicity
of her youth. She is a perfect specimen
in the best sense of the word, of thu
German hausfrau (housewife). She il
very quiet, bears her honors as the mos
natural thing in the world, holds fast by
the old friends of humber days, and ha!
but one great object in life - to make he
husband and children happy. She care
for them in peaceful, motherly way
and her serenity and patience, which
have always secured for Bismarck ,
quiet home, have certainly contributed
to his success through life. She it is,
he once said to friend, "who has made

Chronology of Tobacco

1496.-Romanus Pane, Spanish
monk, whom Columbus, on his second
voyage, left in America, published the
first account of tobacco under the name
of "Cohoba."
1535.-The negroes on the plantations
in the West Indies began to use it.
1559.-Jean Nicot, envoy from France
to Portugal, sent some of the seeds to
Paris, and from him it acquired the
name of Nicotiana. When il was first
used in France it was called "Herbe du
Grande Prieur," of the house of Lorraine,
who was very fond of it. 1t was called
Herbe de ST. Croix," from Cardinal
st. Croix, who first introduced it into
Italy.
1570.-At this date in Holland to.
bacco was smoked in conical tubes,
made of palm leays plated together.
1575.-First appeared print of the
plant in Andre Thevet's Cosmographie.
15S5.-The English first saw the In
dams of Virginia use clay pipes, from
which time they began to be used in
Europe.
1604.-James the First of England
sought to abolish the use of tobacco by
very heavy imposts upon it.
i6l0.-The smoking of tobacco was
INDUCED in at Constantinople. To
render the custom ridiculous, Tux,
detected thus using the plant, was led
through the streets with a pipe thrust
through his nose.
16l5.-The cultivation of tobacco was
begun in Holland.
16l9.-James the First ordered that
no planter cultivate more than one hun
bred pounds.
1620.-Smoking introduced into Ger
many.
1631.-First introduced into Austria
by Swedish troops.
1634.-The use of tobacco forbidden
in Russia under the penalty of having
the nose cut off.
1653.-First used in Switzerland
where the magistrates at first punished
those found smoking; but the custom
soon became too general to be sup
pressed.
1690..Pope Innocent XII excommu
nicated all who should take snuff or use
tobacco while at church.
1724.-Pope Benedict revoked the
above Bull, as he himself used tobacco
immoderately.
