PAY YOUR OWN WAY.

The Cause Of Much Disagreeable Feeling
Among Friends and Acquaintance.
The Taiker is moved to say a few
words in regard to custom prevalent
in all classes of society, which it seems
TO him is as often the source of painful
embarrassment as of pleasure or graft
fcation. He can best illustrate what
he means by an instance like the fol-
lowing: A number of ladies are out,
we will say, for shopping tour in the
city. They happen to step into street
car at the same time a gentleman
friend steps aboard. He engages them
in conversation perhaps, at once, and
when the conductor comes around col
lecting fares, he quietly pays for the
whole party. In another instance two
or three friends happen to meet on
their way TO a ferry or toll-bridge.
The fare for all is small matter, but
which shall pay it? No one feels like
going through and paying for himself
alone, and no one cares to have an
other pay for him. The result is en-
barrassing to all, no matter whici
way it is arranged. The same dilemma
occurs where two friends happen TO sit
down at restaurant table together or
meet together in any other place where
q small expense is incurred. 1t would
be difficult to lay down any strict rule
for guidance in cases like these. No
one wishes to be accused of selfishness
or impoliteness, and yet in many in
stances these small payments in cars
and ferries are the cause of much dis
agreeable feeling to al concerned. As
O general thing We think 1t is better
and more satisfactory to let each have
the privilege of paying his or her own
vav. IF there could only be some un'

ribbons may vary in length, if one

every third ribbon to be a little longer

A Persian Game.

There seems TO be a great dearth of
games among the youth as among the
grown people in Persia, still they may
be seen winning walnuts from each
other by games very similar to the mar
~ble-playing of the American and English
youth. A favorite game appears to be
placing each a certain number of wal
nuts along a marked line at Il sufficient
distance apart to allow of another one
to pass between without touching.
The line is formed neal the base of a
low wall. They then take turns in
knocking the bouse walnut off the wall
so that il rolls through the line, and any
nuts dislodged from the scratch are con-
sidered Won and transferred to the win
ner's pocket. Hobble-de-hoys of twenty
are often seen playing this game of wal
nuts, as also pitch-and-toSs for coppers.

but fighting seldom results, for the

FRAUDS IN PRECIOUS STONES.
How CoIOred Gems Are Inflated
The "Doublet" Method of
Dissertation.

Il suppose there is as much fraud in
colored stones as there is in diamOnds?''
"In comparison to the stones of both
kinds that are sold the fraud in colored
stones is much greater than in dla-
monds. There is a system greatly in
use by which rubies, sapphires and
emeralds of inferior color are made TO
resemble the fine oriental stones. This
is done simply by coloring the culidt, or
point, with a lasting solution of the true
tint. This gives the whole of the stone
the desired appearance, and when it is
set no expert can discover the fraud
until the stone is loOsened. Even when
loose | would not undertake to discover
the manipulation in every case. As an
example, last year | bought during my
periodical visit to London what appear
ed to be an extraordinary ruby, weigh

firm l had bought it of, which, fortu-
nately, was responsible. The firm lost
nearly the whole amount, rs its buyer
had purchased the ruby for cash in the

amount was at stake, that l have met
with during the last few years. Respec-

FARM NOTES.

! THINNING FRUfT.-When planted
in good soil, good thrifty fruits will
nearly always overload themselves, and
In order to secure the best, smoothest
and largest fruit, considerable thinning
must be done; this is especially the case
with grapes and tree fruits. Choice
apples, peaches, pears, ounces; In fact,
tile best Of all kinds of fruit command
the best prices and always sell. Oft
times the market becomes glutted with
poor fruits, and the prices realized are
really below what it costs to produce
them and sometimes they cannot be
sold at n price, while at the same time
the choicest and best are selling at a
profitable price. Too many fall into
the error of thinking that by thinning
they lessen the quantity 80 much that
they prefer to let the fruit all remain.
This is a mistake, as well as to think
that by thinning they lessen the profit
on the fruit. When a tree is heavily
loaded, the fruit must necessarily be
small and this will lessen the quantity:
then the fruit being small will sell for
a less price, and really cost more to
sell, and you really lose rather than
make by not thinning. Then In addi-
ton, when a tree or vine is allowed to
overload and mature the fruit it is a
strain upon the vitality Of the tree, so
much that a rest must be had and the
next year the tree will fail to bear.
Whenever tired judiciously, thinning
fruit always pays; but it requires con.
siderable courage when the trees are
laden with young fruit to go over and
pull off, and throw away a considerable
portion of the fruit. To one who has
never tried it, at first 1t would seem like
a waste; yet it has been tested sufi-
GENTLY to prove its value. The work
of course should be done early, as soon
after the fruit has set as possible. The
longer the fruit grows after setting,
the more waste of vitality of the tree,
that should go to the other fruit that is
left upon the tree to mature. 1t should
be done as evenly as possible. Close
~crowding is what often makes ILL shaped
fruit. If you have never been in the
habit of thinning try a few trees first to
see the effect, and in a majority Of
cases you will conclude that 1t Is bene-
fetal.
