How 10 Test Dinmondt.

The method employed for determining
genuineness of diamonds at the Brazil
ian mines Is to rub them with black
mastic, which will adhere if the gem is
real. Or diamond may be rubbed
against another diamond, its purity be-
ing judged by the resulting sound. The
best OF all tests, though, is that of re-
fraction. Unlike all other crystals, the
diamond has not a double refracting
power, which means that objects looked
at through it do not appear as IL multi
piled by two. If you have a diamond of
which you are doubtful look at a pin
through it. If you see two pins the
stone is false.

HOW A CONGRESSMAN LIVES.

He Must Spend at Least Twice His Salary In
Order to Cut Good Figure"
'''For a congressman TO live in the cap
ital-that is, to make even a very medi-
OGRE figure IN society-he must spend an
amount equal to at least twice his SAL
airy - says Gen. r. Osborne. az should
think SIS, 900 a year would hardly 90 far
in giving a man anything like q pres
tige. l mean, of course, the average
congressman, the person who has neither
brillianCy nor social standing to COM
mend him. It is a fact, and regreta-
bic one, that 4 congressman is measured
by the money he spends, not by his
ability or merit. Take the average con-
gresham who endeavors to live within
his modest salary and ne lives in a very
unpretentious way. A cheap boarding
house, say from eight to ten dollars per
week ca boarding house equal to a
clerk s boarding house in Philadelphta)
IS his temporary home. His social life
IS narrow one, as must neces-
sGVily be the life of a representative
who has no wealth to squander. He
is fit prey Of the lobbyist, an
easy subject for snrewd jobbers, for he
sees the others living in clover and
knows that it is within his reach, and
the temptation is not always resisted.
But take it all in all the congressman do
not always live high. Very few, if
any, save any money out of their sal
airy. 1t is possible for a man to live,
but his standing is impaired and his
prospects damaged beyond repair. There
is no reason why man could not live
within his means beyond that of social
pleasure

TWO HOME PICTURES.
And 1t All Depends on How Papa Comes
Home at Night.

And 1t All Depends on How Papa Comes
Home at Night.
Look on this picture and then on that:
"Father is coming!'' and the little
round faces grow long, merry voices are
thrust into the cupboard, mamma
glances nervously at the door; baby is
bribed with a lump of sugar to keep the
peace. Father s business face relaxes
not a muscle, the little group huddle like
timid sheep in a corner. Tea is dis
patched in silence, as though speaking
was prohibited. The children creep like
culprits to bed, marveling that baby
dares crow so loud now that "father has
come?'
''Father Is coming!" Bright eyes
sparkle with joy, tiny faces dance with
glee, eager faces press against the
window pane and a bevy of rosy lips
claim kisses at the door. Picture
books he lays on the table, and tops,
balls, dolls and kites are discussed.
Little Susy lays her soft cheek against
the paternal whiskers with the most
careless abandon; Charley gets a love pat
for his medal; mammals face grows
radiant; the evening paper is read aloud
and tea and toast and time vanish with
celebrity, for jubilee has arrived, and
''fatheP has come. -

Some of the SuperstitiOns of the Country People

4 curious light is thrown on the rural
life of Bengal by the contents of a paper
reprinted lately in the annual report of
the Bombay Anthropological society,
says the Calcutta Times. From this paper
we are told the following, among other
things: Shouting the name of the king
OF birds (Garuda) drives away snakes
Shouting Ram, Ram, - drives away
ghosts. Cholera that attacks on Monday
or Saturday ends fatally, but no cholera
that attacks on Thursday The flower
ing of bamboos augurs famine In fam
ming, if the fan strikes the body il should
be thrice knocked against the ground.
When giving aims the giver and receiver
should not be standing on different sides
Of the threshold. 1t is bad to pick ones
teeth with ones nails
If 4 snake is killed it should be burned.
for it is Brahman. At night the words
"snake' and "tiger'' should not be,
used; call them oreepers and insects. DO

RICHMOND, VA, Nov. 2.-Application
was made by Judge Waddill, of the Malone
party, to the judge of the circuit court to-
day to compel the registrars of Henrico
county to enter the names Of all rejected
applicants for registration and to replace
the names of those stricken off. The de-
fense demurred to the application on the
ground that it was signed collectively by
100 odd petitioners, instead of each Pc
titioner signing for himself, with a state
ment of his case After elaborate argument,
Judge Wexford sustained the demurrer and
dismissed the case.
A REGISTRAR ARRESTED.
DANvILLE, VA, Nov. 2.-United States
District Attorney Craig arrived here to-

tial election, was arrested, charged with
improperly erasing from the registration
books the names Of republican voters. The
case was heard before United States Com
missioner Tinsley, and at the beginning of
the trial several exciting scenes occurred,
though no violence was done, and Fox
was finally sent to the grand jury for in
dictment. The democrats here are highly
indignant, and the whole city has been in
state of feverish excitement all day over
what the democrats construe as unwar-
ranted interference of United States Off
GERS with citizens just on the eve OF state
election.

mission to the union have been ratified aud
accepted, and that the admission Of said
states into the union is now complete.
