Improved Diamonds.

Many persons have been puzzled to
unders and why the diamonds worn in
earrings by ladies nowadays MAIN
tain such eeaseless quivering mo-
ton It makes no difference that the
head of the wearer is in perfect re-
pose, and that she is even speechless.
and therefore exerting no muscle OF
face or feature, the eeaselcss twinkle
of the diamond goes on, enhancing
greatly the flashing beauty of the gem
The secret is in the setting of the dia-
mond and the method is a patent de-
vice. The patentee is reaping a roy :
atty of fifty dollars apiece from every
manufacturing jeweler TO whom he
sells the privilege of using it. The
stone is set in the usual manner ex-
cept that band like the handle of a
diminutive basket is attached to the
framework. On the other side OF this
band is cup-like cavity. On the low
er part of the hoop is projecting pin
pointed with rhodium. q metal which
never wears out-somewhat like the
iridium with which gold pens are
tipped. Now. when the dia-
monds are put in position on the
hoop the rhodium point projects into
the cup. The result is what scientists
would call condition of unstable
equilibrium. Like the pea blown with
a pipe by a school-b ~ the diamond is
given no rest. with the difference that
no effort is required to keep it dancing.
The metal nnint never wears out 81

HAPPINESS AT HOME.
The True Art of Living Is to Live Wit
out the Least Friction

Tho True Art of Living Is to Live With
out the Least Friction.
There are innumerable books that
teach US how to behave in society, how
to demean ourselves at the church,
the theater and the lyceum. Bat the
place above all others where a man or
woman should know how to conduct
themselves with propriety is at home.
The greater portion of every persons
social life is spent at home. and. there
fore, it is a logical deduction that. if
good manners are essential to mutual
happiness. they should BE- brought
into use at home as we'll as in society.
The great secret OF home happiness
is the absolute repression of temper
There are much more eloquent and eff
fective ways of expressing disap-
proval, than by an outburst of angry
words. If your brother leaves the
door open. never tell him of it. Go
and close it without word. If you
tell him of it. 1t sends nervous culver
through his frame that will culmin ate
in burst of temper expressed. But
if you close the door yourself you give
him silent obj ct lesson that he will
not forgot
A housewife food is usually good,
and if the ..gude man" dislikes it. he
may be practically sure his dislike
arises from his own pampered taste.
But if there is any particular dish
against which his stomach rebels. he
will show true domestic philosophy
and shrewdness by not mentioning it.
The hint will be sufficiently broad if
he simply refrains from it No dish
will be cooked many times in success
sion that is not eaten.
The true art of living is 10 live with

never scold in words. A wise man or
woman can scold most potently and
effectively without saying word. -

RIDDLEBERGER'S THREAT.

He Threatens to Introduce a Resolution to
Reorganize the Senate and to Vote with
the Democrats.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-There is good
deal of quiet grumbling at the action of
the Senate committee on foreign rela-
tions, respecting its report in favor of
considering the Fisheries treaty in secret
session. Senators who favor open session
Cor consideration of executive business,
are very much disappointed with the re-
suit. Senator Riddleberger is especially
severe in his denunciation of every one
who had anything to do with the report,
and threatens to introduce a resolution to
reorganize the Senate and then vote with
the Democrats, and compel Mr.. ingalls, to
vote for himself in order to hold the dis
Enguished position of president pro tenn.
+ The Baltimore Sun voices the sentiment
of many of the dissatisfied in an article on
the subject, which says: "Canada's press
and citizeLs have had the benefit of the ex-
preston of parliamentary and represent
ative opinion, but the people of a republic
the citizens of America-are deemed un-
worthy of the confidence OF their serv-
ants, and incapable of intelligently con-
sidering a commercial treaty whose pro-
visions must affect their purely material
relations with a near neighbor."
1t is generally believed that the Hoar
resolution, offered yesterday, to admit an
official shorthand reporter during the
discussion of the Fisheries treaty will be
adopted.

An Organization hitting the Blue and the

An Organization Uniting the Blue and the
Gray in Harmony.
A new thing in organizations of vet
erans of the war is the Independent
Army and Navy Veterans Association.
The object of this association is "To
maintain perfect union among it's
members, to establish harmony and
discipline, to insure tranquility, to
promote the object of reconciliation
between the blue and the gray veter-
ans of 1S61-5. to maintain true allegi-
ance to the United States Government
and answering respect for and fidel-
ity to the constitution and laws of the
land and to encourage the spread of
universal liberty, equal rights and
justice to all men,"
The representative of this associa-
ton in this city is Phil Sheridan Post.
No. l. Before adopting this name a
letter was sent to the General stating
the object of the association and ask
ing permission to use his name. The
General, in his reply granting the re-
quest, stated that he fully approved
the objects of the new organization.
The post was accordingly formed. and
adopted rules and regulations. Here
are two of them.
Comrades should enjoy themselves
with innocent mirth, treating one an
other according to their ability, but
avoiding all excesses or forcing any
comrade to eat or drink beyond his
inclinations, or hindering him from
going when occasion calls him, or do
ing or saying any thing offensive. or
that may forbid. or any free and easy
conversation, for that would blast our
harmony and defeat our laudable
purposes: therefore, no private inter-
ests may be brought within our doors,
tar less any quarrels about religion or
nations, we being only brothers and
comrades of the universal religion
above mentioned. Kindreds we are
also of all nations, tongues and Ian
guages. and we are resolved against all
politics as what never yet conduced to
the welfare of any order nor ever will. :"
Comrades entering our post as
members must lay aside all hatred and
malice in regard to the past issues; yes,
every thing that may incite our blue
and gray veterans to disharmony; we
must fight prejudice in all it's forms;
in fact, every thing that may hinder
the forwarding of the pure and sim
| cere spirit of our institution. Friend
ship shall guide us, loyalty be our ar
NOR and vigilance our sword to make
way for reconciliation between our
| brothers North and South, East and
West"

ELECTRIC LAMPS.
An Improved and Perfectly Safe Metho
of Light ng Coal Mines.


of Light ng Coal Mines.
Among the electrical memorable
Tor the year 1887 the introduction of
porta BILE electric safety lamps for the
regular lighting of coal mines ought
to find place. 1t is long since the
idea was proposed of applying cleo
tricity to the lighting of coal mines.
but it is only since the incandescent
lamp was perfected and made on a
miniature scale that the idea became
practically realizable. 1t was barely
realiza BILE even then, for good deal
of experimenting had to be gone
through before the battery necessary
for supplying the power to light the
lamp was put in practical form.
Now all the difficulties in connection.
both with the lamp and the
battery have been overcome, and
the portable electric safety lamp is in
actual everyday use. to the number of
over two thousand, in some OF the
most fiery mines in the kingdom. So
far the result has been very satisfac-
tory. Miners greatly prefer the new
to the old ones. and this is not won-
derful when it is remembered that the
electric lamps give four times the light
of the displaced oil lamps. 1t is need
less to say that there has been no ex-
plosion caused by the electric lamps,
indeed, it is difficult to imagine how
such an accident could possibly occur,
for every point has been most care-
fully guarded-the battery terminals
are inaccessible to the workmen car
rying the lamp. and the lamps them
selves are thoroughly defended against
injury. The use of electric lamps in-
stead of oil lamps in mines calls for new
means in d detecting the presence of fire.

is unaffected by it. The old safety
lamp did, to- certain extent indicate
the presence of fire-damp. but it did
not indicate it soon enoughs the air

before the Davy lamp gave any sign,

OUR COPPER CROP.

Figures Relating to the Copper Produc-
tion OF the United States for 1887 and
the Consumption During the Same
Period.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The State Geo.
gical Survey has just issued a preliini-
nary estimate of the copper production
of the United States during the year 1887,
prepared by C. Kirchoff, Jr. The produc-
tion in 1887 amounted to 1S1, 10, ,524
pounds, as against 161, ,235, 3S1 pounds in
1856. The output last year in the differ
ent copper producing States and Terrific
ries was as follows: Lake Superior mines,
75, All 800 pounds; Arizona, 17,720, 1852;
Montana, 7S, ,699, ,6IT; New Mexico, 2S3, ,664;
California, 100000; Colorado, 2,O02,017
Utah, 100000; Maine, New Hampshire an
Vermont, 100000.
Montana shows a marked increase in
production during the past year, and now
takes the lead in production over the Lake
uperior mines, while in 1886 the Lake
Superior mines produced 79, 800, I9S pounds,
against 57,611 ,621 in Montana.
The production from imported pyrites
Turing 1887 aggregated $3.50, 900 pounds.
Returns from consumers show an aver
age increase of II per cent. in 1887 over
1886. The use of casting copper increased
20.5 per cent. The conclusion is reached
that the copper consumption of the United
States has been generally over estimated,
and that in 1887 it was not much, if any,
in excess of 100, 0,0O0, 900 pounds of new cop
Der,
