About Precious Stones.

MI. Watherston, an eminent Lon.
don jeweler, gave an interesting lee.
ture lately on gems and precious
stones. He said that, with the ex.
ception of the diamond in the glass
cutters hand, they are ~intrinsically
worthless, their high estimation in
olden times having been due to their
use as magical charms against evil,
while in latter times they have been
priced as concentrated expressions of
wealth and splendor. He said that
the Braganza, belonging to the crown
of Portugal, and still in the rough, is
the largest diamond. 1t weighs 1850,
and the Koh-i-noo1, before being cut,
weighed 1877 carats. There are cruel
allegations against the Braganza, to
the effect that it is only a white
topaz. In this case q diamond be-
longing to the Rajah of Matan comes
to the top. A Governor of Batavia
offered So, 500, 900 for it, but the
RaJah refused the offer, saving that
his diamond was a talisman upon
whose possession depended not only
his W happiness and success, but
that of his whole family. Of rubies
scarcely more than two can be
deemed historical. The first and
most famous is that in Victoria's
cross. 1t is believed, on tolerably
good authority, to have been worn
in front of the helmet of Henry V.
at Agincourt.

1t Is said that a coon can be caught
by leaving whisky in its vicinity, but
the average hunters would rather
drink the whisky and take his chances
on the coon.

At this period of the year the re-
cording angel closes his book and
goes off on a vacation until the last
carpet has been whipped and the last
tack driven.

His Sisters, His Cousins and His ..unts
A telegram was received in Colo,
RADIO a few days since directing the
proper authorities to arrest a young
man who, it was alleged, had RAJ
away with his aunt. II have an or.
der for your arrest remarked the
officer, addressing the supposed
criminal.
"For what?'
"fou have been running away will
your aunt"
"My aunt! Why, she's my wife,
"Bnt wasn't she your aunt before
she became your wife? You see we
don't tolerate those kinds of goings
. On in Colorado"
81 suppose you never were in
Utah?" remarked the young man. at-
ter he had completed his survey of
the detective.
"No."
"Well, as You don't understand
the relations Of an aunt and nephew
in that territory, | suppose I ought
to explain them to you, and then,
perhaps, you may see your duty
palmer. My father married my
mother -
II suppose so,' interrupted the
detective.
"1hen he married her sister," con-
tinued the stranger. without needing
the interruption. "TIlen he married
the sister of his brother-in-law; then
the daughter of his uncle, who was a
cousin to his first two wives then he
married her sister, who was the widow
of one of his first wives husbands
then he married her daughter; and q
son of his wife married nv sister.
who was also a widow of one of the
other wives son. l suppose you are
following me?" interrupted the mar
rator.
"Marry your aunt or your grand
mother, or either, or both of them,"
exclaimed the listener.
"And you won't arrest me?"
querled the young man.
emo; you might be your own
father,' answered the officer.

Namen Census EnuInerators<

In nlany parts of the country wo.
men will be appointed as census
enumerators, with the probable re-
salt something like this:
Neatly dressed woman of an uncer-
tain age, with big book in her arm
and pen in hand, rings the doorbcll.
Young lady appears ut the door.
Census Enumerator-'Good morn
ing. Lovely morning. I'm taking
the census. You were BORN"
Young Lady-''Yes'm."
"Yonr name, please? What a
pretty dust cap you have on. Can I
get the pattern? It's just like the
n the lady in the aext house has.
Let's see, your name?"
81 haven't the pattern. Don't
you get awful tired walking round
taking the ~census?"
"Oh, yes, it's wearisome, but l
pick up a great deal of information.
How nice your dinner smells cooking.
Plum pudding!"
"No, haven't plum-pudding to-
day. Pm looking for a new recipe"
"Pve got one that I took down
from a lady's cookbook across the
way. Are you married?"
mo. Want an invitation to the
wedding, don't you? 1t will be Il
long time before you get 1t. You
a keep your plum-pudding recipe,
thank you"
Il sh'd. think 'twould be some
time. Have you chill? O, Of
course, l forgot" This hall carpet is
just the pattern of Aunt Prudy's.
She's had it more than twenty years
How many are there IN the family o.
eff this hall carpet don't suit YOU,
you a get off from it and go about
your censnsing."
swell, you're an impudent jade,
anyhow. You haven'ttold me when
you were born Or what's your name,
Or when you expect to get married,
and there's ten dollars fine for not
answering the census-takers' ques-
tions, anil if l was you l wouldn't be
seen at the door in such a slouchy
morning dress-so there"
"Oh, you hateful thing. You can
just go away. I'll pay ten dollars
Just TO get rid of you, and smile do
ing it. It's none Of your business,
nor the censuses' either. No, it
isn't. You can keep your pattern
and your plum-pudding and your
saucy, impudent questions to your
self, H.

Coll, ge Medals.

The beautiful medals presented to the pu-
pills of the Dallas female college Wednesday
night as prizes for their proficiency in their
various studies, were designed and made by
Mr.. j. NJ. Dram, jeweler of this city. They
were msrvels ofbeauty and finish and showed
distinctly the genius, skill. taste and artistic
ability of Mr.. Dram. They were unique,
suggestive, ornate and handsome in the ex-
treme. They were all of gold and exquisite
ly maae, some being chased and Others en-
bossed. They are excellent tests of Mr..
Grams superiority in his guild, and he has
just cause to be proud of them as specimens
of his handiwork and his conception in the
line of design.
