ABOUT CHILDREN.
Live Words Uttered by o Careful Observer
of Human Nature.

Live Words Uttered by o Careful Observer
of Human Nature.
There is growing tendency to hasten
the development of children. As soon
as a babe shows intelligence, and notices
persons and things, the parents and 9TH
er members of the family begin to at
tract its attention in various ways. and
talk to it, and lift it about, and shake L,
and call every ones notice to it, and try
to make it talk, and in every way bring
it forward And after it can walk and
begins to talk, some one is constantly
talking to and teaching 1t something Or
other; and as soon as any one comes IN
they begin to show it off. Baby can say
and do so and so, and it is set upon ex-
hibition and made the whole subject Of
conversation, and will distract the
attention of roonful of people, maxi
ing it more or less unpleasantfor nearly
all who have to see and hear it,
Now, a bright, healthy child is always
a pleasant sight, and should be reasons
bly, noticed, treated kindly, kept warm
and comfortable, and all its real needs
supplied, and sufficient means of amuse-
ment provided; but then, let it alone
and not keep constantly fussing over IL
and giving it an impression that it's
| of more consequence and its wants para
mount to all others. Mothers and
grandmothers, and annts, too, lay the
foundation of q great deal Of trouble,
vexation and modification often by
Lniudicious fussing and talking and
| meddling. If a child is pretty. every
one can see it plainly enough, and
ought to know better than to comment ON
it before or in its hearing, and If it has
pretty and cunning little ways, and
makes now and then a cute or wise re-
mark, let the family enjoy them quietly
and unostentatiously, and not tell Il
over and over again to every body who
comes in.

ARTIFICIAL. STONES.
Close limitations Of Diamonds, Rubies an
Other Precious Gems.

Other Precious Gems.
The ruby and sapphire have been
closely initiated by Frenzy and Fell, two
French chemists, and the chief interest
in this process is that the artificial
stones possess essentially the chemical
composition of the real ones. To pro-
duce these, equal weights of alumina
and red lead are heated to red heat
in an earthenware crucible. A vitreous
substance is formed, which consists of
silicate of lead and crystals of white
corundum. To convert this corundum
into the artificial ruby, it is necessary
to fuse it with about two per cent, of
bichromate of potassium, while to OBJ
tain the sapphire, the little oxide OF
cobalt and a very small quantity Of
bichromate of potassium must be en-
ployed. The stones so produced pos
sess at least very nearly the hardness
of the real stones, as they scratch both
quartz and topaz. The French paste"
which initiates the diamond so closely,
is peculiar kind of glass, the manu-
facture of which was broughtto great
degree of perfection some fifty years
ago by Donault- w eiland, of Paris. The
finest quality of paste demands extreme
care in the choice of the materials, and
in melting, etc. The basis of it, in the
hands of the expert manufacturer just
named, was powdered rock crystal or
quartz The proportions he took were
six ounces of rock crystal, nine ounces
and two drachms of red lead. three
ounces and three dracl1ms Of pure car
Donate of potash, three drachms OF
boracia acid, and six grains of white
arsenic. The product thus manufact-
ured was extremely beautiful, but
rather expensive, compared with the
prices now charged for artificial jewels.
1t has never been surpassed in brilIian-
cy, but Of late years the great purity Of
the potash and lead oxyde used, and
the improvements in the furnaces and
methods of heating them, have all
tended to reduce the price of the
diamond thus manufactured. - Bdp-

THE FISH MAMMOTH.
Description of the Probable Ancestor OF
the Sea-Serpent.

Description of the Probable Ancsctor OF
the Sea-Serpent.
A Toongoosian fisherman named
Schumacher, about the year 1899 was
proceeding, as is the custom of fishermen
of those parts when fishing proves a
failure, along the shores of the Lena in
quest of mammoth tusks, which have
been there found in considerable album
dance. During his rambles, having gone
further than he had done before, he
suddenly came face to face with huge
mammoth imbedded in clear ice. This
extraordinary sight seemed to have
filled him with establishment and awe,
for instead of at once profiting by the
fortunate discovery, he allowed several
wears to roll on before he summoned
courage to approach it closely, although
it was his habit to make stealthy jour-
leys occasionally to the object of his
wonder. At length, seeing, it is pre-
sumed, the terrible monster made no
signs of eating him up, and that its
tnsks would bring him a considerable
sum of money, he allowed the hope of
gain to overcome his superstitious
scruples, He boldly broke the barrier
of ice, chopped off the tusks and left
the carcass to the mercy of the wolves
and bears, who, finding it palatable,
soon reduced the huge creature to a
skeleton. Some years afterward a
man of science was On the scent, and
although so late at the death, found the
huge skeleton with three legs, the eyes
/ still in the orbits. and the brain unin-

male no sign, but went about his work
stolid and Sphinx-like. Mr. Herbert. Ger
alb Learned, had gons to Lon on for few
days.
However, before fortnight had gone by,
Abraham Leigh received letter from his
landlord, and the sams evening, while
smoking his pipe in the kitchen, informe
his son and his sister that tomorrow he was
going into Worcestershire to see if his
brother Joseph coull spare him one of his
many boys to take Jerry's place. Jerry
was to go to London the next day and meet
Mr.. Herbert. Most likely he'd stay there.
Twas clear as noOntids the boy would
never make a farmer, and if there were
fools enough in the world to buy white
figures at hundreds Of pounds apiece, Jerry
might as well try to make his living that
way as any other.
Tho truth is, Mr.. Herbert told Abraham
Leigh that if he would not consent to pay
for his sons art education, he, Mr.. Herbert,
would bear the expense himself. But tine
monetary part Of it troubled the substantial
farmer little. He could pay for his child's
keeping if he could bring bis mind TO con-
sent to his going. And now the consent
was given
Gerald heard his fathers communication
with glowing eyes. For shame's sake he
hid his joy, for he knew that, with all his
stolid demeanor, his father almost broke
down as he contemplated the diverging
paths his son and he must hencefor ward
tread. The boy thanked him from his
heart. and the rough farmer, laying his
hand on the childs head, blessed him and
babe him go and prosper
In this way Gerald Leigh left Coombe-
Actor. At long intervals he reappeared for
a few days. The worthy villagers eyed him
askance, the only conception they could
form of his profession being connected with
dark-skinned itinerants who bore double
TERED platforms on their heads, and earned
a precarious livelihood by traversing the
country selling conventional representatives
