A SUFFERER.
REPLY.-It is not our purpose to
go into details of such plans as we
may from time to time allude to in
these columns, by which our citizens
may be benefited by wise legislation,
because We think our representatives
have intelligence enough to draft
proper ordinances to meet points we
may suggest. In this particular case
We viii crafty our correspondent as
far as to say, that the city council
should make favorable arrangements
with the water company and have
hydrants put up wherever they may
be needed, and to meet the expense
of hydrants and use OF water, charge
in the tax bills of every neighboring
house owner, sum sufficient to cover
the cost Of supplying the water and
the use of the hydrants. Those hav-
ing the water PIT in their houses
would not Of course be taxed for the
street hydrants. This course would
gradually introduce into every house.

BY tenants, The company's water, and
do away with the necessity for poi
sOned pumps L would entail no
expense upon the public because each
individual house owner, who has no
water On bis premises would pay pro
rata the cost Of putting up bydrants
and for the water consumed on his
premises.

Five Minutes Of Gossip About Dia.
mondS.

'Yes, there is difference between a
gem and a diamond" said a State
street Jewclor, "a gem 10 PorfoOt dio
mond, or perfect precious stone of any
kinds When a diamond merchant
speaks of a gem he means something in
which there is no fault or flaw, no inn
perfection of color, shape or cut. The
difference between a gem and dia-
mOnd may be as wide as that between
Il plug horse and Il thoroughbred
racer. One stone may be worth $50,
and another of exactly the same size
may be worth 500, or even more. Not
one person in thousand can tell q gem
from q fairly good stone. The weight.
also, is small index to the size of a dia-
mond as it appears in setting. A karat
stone may appear as small as this-o-
or it may be nearly twice as great in
circumference, like this-O. A gem
must be cut so correctly that hairs
breadth is far too wide to measure the
plane of the different facets by. Every
facet must be of precisely the same size
as every other facet of like position. Its
angle, too, must be geometrically cor
rect. The glory of a diamond is its re-
fractive power. Without light the dia-
| mond is as useless as a pretty picture,
though it is very common belief
among people who have never handled
diamonds that the stones have light in
themselves, making them brilliant even
in complete darkness. Another COM
mon error is that the diamond cannot
be broken or injured, and have known
of fine stones being ruined by foolish
| persons who hit them with hammers in
an effort to illustrate the hardness of
their gems. The diamond is very brit
tie and is easily injured by slight
blow or fall. Diamonds will burn, too
under a heat sufficient to melt bar iron.
They are nothing but pure carbon, and
they may be reduced to graphite and
| finally to carbonic acid gas. The purest
stones are highly transparent and col
orless, but more generally there is some
! tint, like white or gray. Brown, blue,
| green, yellow and red are very rare,
while black is met with once in life
time. In all my experience | have seen
but two black diamonds John Rice, of
the fremont House, owns one of them.

She raised her queenly black brows
as he advanced, dotfing his cap, so that
the sunshine turned his ruddy Saxon
hair to gold.
"Yes, again" he said, smiling. Miss
Westfield, have your secret. You,
and no other, are Leonora West, the
superb actress whose grand impersona-
tions are now stirring the heart of this

''Well, and what of it? You know, now.

look, his frank tone, that established
friendship between them at once. She
smiled, and the little cousins flocked
eagerly around the newcomer.

And when Mr. Dalton went away,
there was strange, uncertain stir at
his heart, new revelation.
When the season was over, the man
ager OF the theater respectfully inter-
viewed Miss Westfield as 10 second

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 2S-The
Adams Express Office of this city was
robbed Thursday Of last week of $29, COS,
and the most extraordinary efforts have
been made TO capture the thieves. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company intrust.
I'd the amount to the express company
to have it sent to Shamokin to pay off
the hands. 1t is the duty Of two clerks
IN the employ Of the express company to
put the money in a small iron safe and
seal it with leaden seal. This was done
by Ralph Pratt and John Heath. When
the safe arrived at its destination it was
found to be empty. Detectives were en-
ployed Immediately. Without any far
ther evidence than that he was the man
who last saw the money they arrested
Pratt. He was taken before Magistrate
Durham. No evidence was offered ex-
cept that he had been arrested con sus-
picion," and he was locked mp in the
county jail in default of SIS, 200 bail
Thursday morning he was taken to the
detective's s Office and kept there all tiay.
Every trick known was played To induce
him to confess, but he manifested his in
nocepce and declared that rather than 60
to prison be would kill himself. No trace
of the money h as been discovered. The
officers e the express company are out
of the city, and the subordnates guard
the Office and refuse 10 answer any ques-
fions. The prisoner receives a salary OF
$50 month and ia not known to have
any vices. There is It good deal OF ex-
c;tement over the matter. and il is be-
lievcd that another robbery Is about to

Teething Babies.

Between the fifth and seventh months
the two first lower teeth will make their
appearance simultaneously. Prior to
this, wash Baby's mouth out regularly
every day with cold water in which is
dissolved little powdered boraX. The
latter is unnecessary unless there is
soreness of the mouth. When Baby be-
gins partaking of solid food, a small
toothbrush with very soft bristles should
be used. As this is SO rarely done, there
are many who will criticise the sug-
gestion. As result of this practice he
or she will possess two rows of sound
white teeth, until the second ones make
their appearance. The longer the first
teeth are preserved the stronger and
better the second set will be. After
meals is the time to clean the teeth,
particularly after supper or before 90
ing to bed. II they arc to be cleaned
but once a day, let it be before going to
bed.-MrS. Ellis L. Mltmnsa, in Good

mirably, and coming out remarked in
the hearing of his 6-year-old daughter
that he had filled the old lady's
eyes with dust. She is very SYM
pathizing little girl, and before we
caught on she had a basin of water and
