Gates a low standard OF morals. One thing we

The Values of Diamonds.

Values of diamonds never change.
Like pure gold they have a fixed
value. Their prices change with the
dealer and his opportunity for their
sale. Then again the price of dia-
monds is largely affected by their
quality and color. A stone that shows
sand cracks is rated low. A diamond,
however perfect, if of yellowish hue,
is not highly priced. There are stones
of q reddish tint which arc very beau
tiful, but the pure white diamond out
ranks them oil. The test of the white
diamond is that it shall be perfectly
invisible when immersed in vial Of
chemically pure water, such as is col
lected from condensed steam. A dia-
mond is perfectly indestructible and is
seldom, if ever lost to the world. If
the owner should lose stone another
person finds it, and the quantity of
gems goes on steadily increasing

Peculiar idea About Religion.

peculiar idea while conversns VII " I'll a
frienu. Tie saii tnat the established
religion of country owed it's princi-
pal doctrines less to faith than to the
conditions of it's climate and surround
ings. He cited the beautiful religion
OF tho natives of India, who would not
eat anything that had once lived, bo-
cause, while all could take away life,
only One could give 1t. He argued
that religious belief like that could
only have It's origin In an intensely
hot climate like that Of India, where
animal food is not necessary to sus-
tain life. Among the Laplanders such
o religion could never obtain, because
it was absolutely necessary for tho
Inhabitants of SO high a latitude to
keep the warmth Of the body up to a
certain heat. Nothing but animal fat
could do that.-New York Sun.

Help for Deserving People.

The board of associated charities aids
families almost exclusively, and very
material aid it is. AS soon as the agent
Of the society starts out he makes in
quiries in reliable circles as to the
habits and characteristics of the people
applying about the head Of the
family, if one exists, about the chill
dren, how many, if any, are at work,
and if they, singly and collectively,
are honest and industrious, or if they
would be industrious if they had the
opportunity. Tho society naturally
will want to know about tho revenues
of the family and of their expenses and
debts, and if these answers are all
right his report to the board will be a
favorable one, and in short timo the
necessaries of life, usually flour, meal,
coal and wood in bulk, will be forth
coming. It does take time, however,
to do this, and if the family were in
distress and needed immediate aid
there are several individual means by
which they might tide over their wants
temporarily.
This is one form of charity which, if
it is slow, Is certainly sure and sub
stantial once it is secured It takes
care exclusively Of those who havc
iodg gings, who live in tenements some
where in the city and receive charity
in that way. These are usually very
deserving people and their histories
are often sad and pathetic. Those who
are invariably the most deserving of
charity arc always the most reluctant
about asking for it. Poor but proud,
they will often sell every piece Of fur
niture and household effects that some
times have tender and pleasant recol-
lections In order to keep the wolf from
the door, and defer, if not permanently
| dispense with, the necessity of asking
| aid.-McGrath in Boston Globe.

Authors and Publishers.

Mr.. Rider Haggard's friends COM
plain that while he received only $3.50
for the original edition Of King Solo
mons Mines" the publishers have
made $50, 600 out Of tho book This Is
business. Why should tho author
and his friends be aggrievedi Mr..
Haggard should havo made a better
bargain, and, undoubtedly, in the fu-
ture Mr.. Haggard will do so. These
inequalities Of profit will by and by
teach authors to change their methods
of book publication. Meanwhile they
have no right to blamo publishers,
and must quietly submit to the plan
of making their successful books COM
pensate those publishers for the losses
incurred on other peoples unsuccess-
full books. Mr.. Haggard, as country
squire, with n fortune, might have
tried experiments with safety. Why
should not q man who can afford It
publish his own book, taking tho

would not fewer and better books be
publishedi And would not this be a
blessing to the reading worldi-Pitts-

Counting tho Notes.

Counting the dancing notes in a
bar of sunlight sounds like one of
those hopeless, never ending tasks
with which malignant fairies delight
to break the spirit of little heroines in
the German folk stories. Something
moro than this, however, has been
achieved by modern science, which is
now able to count tho particles float
ing in any given portion of the at
mosphere and determine what proper
ton Of these arc dangerous germs and
what are mere dust. DR.. Franklands
curious experiments have shown us
how to count the mioro-organisms,
and now John Aitken, of Fafkirk, by
q totally different method, has been
enabled to take stock of tho moro
harmless but hardly less interest
ing dust notes. Thirty thousand
such particles have been detected by
him in tho thousandth of a cubic inch
Of tho air Of room. In tho outside
atmosphere in dry weather the same
measurement of air yielded 2,119,
whereas, after q heavy rainfall, the
number was only 52l. That this
power of prying into atmospheric
secrets will eventually yield very i'm
portant results must be obvious to all.
Among tho most curious discoveries
already made is tho direct relation be-
tween dust particles and fogs, mist
and rain. n.-London Daily Newo

The Blindman's Doc.

The street lamp on tho corner of
Broadway and Twenty-ninth street is
tho nightly business stand of q blind
man and dog. watched them last
night having become interested in
them through tho stories that had
come to me of the dogs intelligence.
I heard the man ask tho time of a gen
tleman who stopped to drop something
in tho box. He was told it was 10
o'clock. The gentleman walked on
and the man called out to the dog:
"Come, Tom, it's 10. and time for
us to go home" The little dog
gathered himself together, hold up the
box to the man, waited until he took
the money out and put it in his pocket,
buttoned his old coat, and then stood
on the curb and examined the cars
coming along. Finally green one
came in sight and the dog drew the
man out into the mud and stood until
it came along. The driver evidently
knew them, for when he came to
where they stood he pulled up and
they got in. was assured that it was
regular thing, and that the dog has
q remarkable faculty for faces. It is
said that he even knows the people
who give aims to tho old follow, and
never fails to greet them with dem
onstration of pleasure.-New York

HOW RAMS FIGHT.
Dueling According to the Code or Their
ROYAL Sheepishneases.

Royal Shccpishnesses.
1t may perhaps throw some light on
the obscure causes of tho stupidity OF
sheep to see them fight. To watch two
rams engage in duel, which they do
in a most gentlemanly manner, as If
it were as much O matter of etiquette
as an engagement with swords in the
environs of Paris, is better than most
farces nowadays.
Perhaps there arc some ten or twenty
rams in yard or corral, and presently
two put their heads together. Proba-
bly, they are having a conversation,
and in it some debatable matter crops
up, for one shakes his head impa-
tiently as if doubling tho word of his
interlocutor. The insulted ram looks
up, advances a step or two, and they
rattle their horns together Instantly
all the other gentlemen gather round
as the two intending combatants march
backward step by step with an admir-
able slowness and elaboration. They
are the two knights at the ends Of the
lists. There is an instants pause, and
then they hurl themselves violently
forward to meet forehead to forehead
with shock that ought to break their
skulls.
recommences, the pause is made, and
the two belligercnts leap at each other
once more, and tho terrible thud is
heard again. Sometimes they run ten
courses before one turns dizzy and de-
clines the battle, but oftener Ave or six
blows make the thinner skulled turn
away, to be contemptuously hustled
in the rear by the conqueror.
ncnocinnol1x, tho ci >f Dro ~
duelists inspires the unoccupied
lockers on with a noble ardor, and
couple after couple join in to march
backward side by side and rush for
ward in line to meet the opposing
forces. 1t seems to me that there is
moro interest in this than the mere
farce of the display. However such q
habit arose 1t can hardly now be ad-
vantageous to tho species, and must
tend to lower them in the scale of in
tellect, for while the thickest skulled
remain lords, those with the most room
for brains often get their craniums
cracked with fatal results.
This may help to explain the very
uncommon idiocy of domesticated
sheep, just as the duello among Aus
tralian blackfellows may throw light
on the dull, thick headedness Of some
of the native humans in that country.
For their favorito method Of dueling-
at least it was that of which heard
most-is to take two clubs, and, hav-
ing drawn lots in some manner for the
first blow, to strike tho loser on the
head as ho bends down with the ut
most force possible. If that blow is
not decisive-and 1t is not always so
it is the turn Of the other man to do
his best, and so on until a skull is
cracked.-The Cornhin Magazine.
