The second, to slightly overcome the former
professor, said:
Yes, Pm sailing home, my ship is going forty
knots an hour, and I'll soon be near the Shore
The old lady listened carefully at every word,
and when the men had pictured their religion on
their ships, she got up and said:

The German In New York.

The German gets great deal Of pleasure
out Of life. A young man Of any standing
ut all belongs to half a dozen organizations,
and has friends i'll many more, so that he can
choose between three or four excursions
every Sunday through tho summer Mean
while the grave, steady fathers and mothers
sit around the edges Of the dancing floor and
beam seronely on the fcstivity. while the
children sit with them or play around among
the tables. For absolute enjoyment. 'ge-
muthlichkeit," :" free and hearty, yet entirely
innocent, there is nothing like festival Of
the Germans. Their American fellow citi-
zens might we'll take a leaf out of their book,
and learn to relax reasonably on occasion,
and to take the wife and children along.
There are plenty of things to do to keep
the German youth out Of mischief. There
are the singing societies of all degrees and
kinds, and if there is any better glee singing
by male voices than may be heard often on
summer night floating out of the open win
dows of some little hall on one of the cross
streets, it would be hard to convince the pco-
pie that sit on the steps around and listen to
it of the fact
The German is born with the love of music
innate, and he cultivates it to the utmost.
Many and many o family break loose from

the savings of a month in night of German
opera Then there are the turnvereins, that
teach all sorts of accomplishments in their
schools, and supplement- them by the most
wonderful gynnastic and calisthenic exer-
cises The better class of Bowery theaters
are also much resorted to- OF these the
Thalia has led the list in popularity. The
German is not a solitary animal when he
seeks pleasure. On the contrary, he has the
excellent idea that the more of his relatives
and friends he can have around him enjoy
ing the spectacle simultaneously the better
time he will have himself So all his amuse-
ments partake of family character.-New

RUBIEs MADE BY HAND.

Artificial Gene that Would Deceive tho
Keenest Expert-Facts About Them.
The latest sensation in the jewelry trade
has been caused by the appearance in this
market of wonderfully beautiful imitation
Of the ruby or, as it is called, the artificial
ruby. Thus far the spurious gem has not
been masquerading as the genuine stone, but
has been sold in small numbers for what it
actually is. At present the only artificial
rubies in the city are the importations of one
of the most prominent Maiden lane jewelers.,
who saw several specimens during recent
visit to Switzerland, where they were origin
ally produced and brought several of them
with him to New York.
"It is next to impossible" said the jeweler
in question to the reporter, "for even an cx-
pert to tell the difference between these new
productions and the genuine stones"
"How are these gems nader asked the re-
porter.
Il would not be at liberty to answer that
question even if knew myself" was the re-
ply; "but it is said that they are not spurious
or artificial in one sense, being the fusion Of
many small stones in one. If that be the
fact, you see that although this particular
stone may not be natural, yet it may be COM
posed Of several natural stones by the new
fusion process. To all outward appearance,
the gem is genuine and will stand the test of
the natural stones, being of the same color,
hardness, luster, specific gravity and chemi-
cal composition. Toall intents and purposes
it is ruby.
ut was only very recently that this new
process was discovered, although chemists
have been working at the problem in Europe
for long time. Two French chemists, it is
said, have been partially successful in pro-
ducing rubies like bubbles. but nothing has
yet been done to equal those have shown to
you The largest thus far produced weighs
two carats, but it is expected that q three
karat specimen will be forthcoming soon."
"How do the artificial stones compare with
the genuine as far as price is concernedr'
"a two carat ruby would be worth not less
than 81 500, while this ono in my hand would
probably be sold at retail for $500. A per-
feet three carat stone, and there are but few
in existence, is worth at least SIC, 600, but one
of these of the same would sell for perhaps
$1,000
"These manufactured gems, therefore, are
not cheap like paste diamonds, for instance,
and would not be worn by people altogether
poverty stricken, as paste diamonds are The
ruby Is the most valuable of all precious
stones, and has, up to the present time, de-
fed the skill of chemists to initiate it.
Whether the beautiful counterfeit will find
favor among buyers of costly gems it is now
too early to say."-New York Mail and Ex-
The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1888-08-03
Starvation and Red Tape.

Onco when was in London woman ap-
piled to hospital for food for her babe,
which was dying of starvation. Tho COM
mittee of gentlemen called her in and asked
her string of questions, and finally said they
could not give her anything unless she had Il
written application from the secretary. sho
thanked them, gathered her dying child in
her arms and started off to look for the Sec
retary. He called her in, asked her quss-
tions and said he could not make out tho ap-
plication without all order from the doctor.
She thanked him and went back to the hos
pital to the doctor. He gave her the order,
and with hope in her heart and hugging tho
precious burthen to her breast. bidding the
little ono wait just IN hour more, the poor
mother hurried away to the secretary, and
from him to the hospital again. But when
food was brought and she drew tho ragged
end of her shawl away from the baby's face,
the little ono lay dead in her arms. It was
dead of starvation and red tape.-Catharino
Cole in New Orleans Picayune

nerve and skill was Henry Colcord, and il
now, or was few years ago, an artist In
Chicago. Colcord ran away from home and
went to sea, but he seems to have had more
taste for brushes and paint than foI
salt water, for in 1858 he Joined thu
Martinettis, at Boston, as scene
painter. The troupe soon after disbanded
and Blondin concluded to do his Niagara
feat. Colcord accompanied him to the
falls, and together they were five months
In getting the rope str. -chec and the guys
established. There were 1000 feet of ma.
nilla rope three inches in diameter. They
first put small cord across in a boat, and
then by means Of windlass the big rope was
got into position.
The tight rope was not so very tight aftcs
all, for there was a curvature OF. fifty feet At
the center. It was $50 feet above water al
its lowest point, and the curvature made
descent Of fifty feet to the center and rise
of fifty feet from the center to the other
shore. There were Is 600 feot of guy lines,
each weighted with sandbag to drop the
line out Of the way Of the balance pole.
Colcord has described an incident Of the
passage: ''When we had gone about ten feet
on this middle span, somebody on the Ameri-
can side pulled the outer guy line. We at.
ts1 Wd1u lOUuu Out IL W0S OOu6 luL.uLlOU8llYe
and the rope was stopped in its swing. Blon.
din stopped, and his pole went from side to
side in vain effort to enable him to secure
his balance At one time it was up and down
OH the right side, at another up and down on
the left, and recall now with wonder that
was only curious to know whether he would
succeed in getting control Of himself or not.
Ididn't feel any fear. Failing of getting his
balance, he started to run across the horrible
span, and we safely reached the point where
the guy rope came out from tho American
shore Then to steady himself Blondin put his
foot on the guy rope ard tried to stop, but the
guy line broke, and with dash of speed he ran
swiftly twenty-five feet further to the next
point, where the guys met tho main rope
Ihcn he recovered his balance, and whispered
rather than said: 'Decendez vous.' The per-
spiraton stood out on his neck and shoulder
in great beads and we balanced ourselves on
tie swaying rope. Presently he said, Al
lo.ss,' and l raised myself to his shoulders
and we went on in safety and without Incl
dent toward the shore"

Warning to the Fair SEX.

Although we have not the elixirs Of youth
and beauty which were sold i'll bottles of rock
crystal, stopped with gold, tho scalpel and
electricity erase the worst foes of comeliness
with surer touch. The ugliest moles, wens
and warts are removable with safety either
by the knife or galvanic current. Tho
''mothers' marks" and ''port wine stains' re-
sumo healthy vascularity and color under
steady treatment by the battery, and care Of
the general health. There is risk, however,
Of sympathetic injury to the nerves Of other
parts of the face if these operations are not
very delicately and intelligently done. I
knew lady who had delicate shading Of
hair on her upper lip removed by the usual
electric process Of piercing the root Of each
hair with very tino needle through which
the current was given, killing the bulb in the
skin. The operation was painful, so that it
could only be completed in several sittings.
It removed the hair perfectly, but the effect
on the fine facial nerves nearly cost the lady
her eyes, and she lost the use Of them for over
a year. Always avoid painful processes it
possible Pain means injury to the nerves,
and directly or indirectly to the whole sys-
tenn, and is for from being the Insignificant
or necessary factor in our lives that amazo-
nian souls make it-Shirley Dare's Letter.
The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1888-08-03

These young boys serve for period OF
seven years, beginning at pay Of three
shillings month, which is increased every
year until it becomes nine shillings a month
in the last year OF their apprenticeship. They
are brought up in an extremely hard manner;
only those who are in the last year OF their
time are allowed to live below. The other
poor little wretches sleep anywhere, two or
three Of them in the galley during their
watch below ut night.
They have no proper mess, but the cook
used to give them a great pan Of food from
the remnants of our mess and the cabin. 1t
was generally mixture of macaron!, boiled
beans, boiled co1el meal, stock, fish, olive oil
and scrapings from every other dish of the
day.
The five youngest boys would fiad the
drvest place on deck and then sit round it,
with one spoon among them all. Each one
would t:!.o one spoonful and hand the spoon
to his right hand ncighbor; SO the spoon
wc.ld go round until the food all d:sap-
pcarcd, each one having taken tho same
number Of spoonfuls-Mr. keane
