vote-Buying.

the matter OF corruption at cleo

provides that man who sells he
vote shall be fined not to exceed

courageous and heroic, and con-
xeys the impression that the law
makers arc in earnest. Perhaps
they are, but it may be doubted
that their statute will amount to
anything.
Commenting upon the above, the
Salt Lake Herald say :: I'VE hear

charge its defeat to the purchase OF
votes by the victorious party. These

He Got 1t.

Among the passengers on a Western
train yesterday, says the Boston Jour
nal, was woman very much over
dressed, accompanied by bright look
ing nurse girl and self-willed, tyranni-
cal boy of about years.
The boy aroused the Indignation of
the passengers by his continual shrieks
and kicks and screams and his vicious
ness toward his patient nurse. He tore
her bonnet, scratched her hands, and
finally spat in her face without word
of remonstrance from the mother.
Whenever the nurse manifested any
firmness the mother chided sharply.
Finally the mother composed herself
for nap, and about the time the boy
had slapped the nurse for the fifth time a
wasp came sailing in and flew on the
window of the nurses seat. The boy at
once tried TO catch it.
The nurse caught his hand and said,
coaxingly:
Harry mustn't touch. Bug will bite
Harry"
Harry screamed savagely and began
to kick and pound the nurse.
The mother without opening her eyes
or lifting her head cried out sharply:
'Why do you tease that child so,
Mary7 Let him have what he wants at
once"
'But, ma'am, it's a -"
LET him have it, I say"
Thus encouraged, Harry clutched at
the wasp and caught it. The scream
that followed brought tears of Joy to
the passengers eyes.
The mother awoke again.
MARY, she cried, ''let him have it,"
Mary turned in her seat and said con-
fusedly:
Hes got it, ma'am !"

In Battak Land.

The Battaks are a people of common
origin with the Malays and resembling
them in many respects, who live along
the western coast and in the interior of
the island of Sumatra. The district
chiefs form confederation, the strong
est one among them residing near the
Toba Lake. They have enjoyed the ad
vantages of civilization, and are good
agriculturists, have an original system
Of writing, and take care to have their
children instructed in such arts and
knowledge as they appreciate; and yet
they eat enemies who are taken armed,
and criminals of a certain class. As
sentimental people in western countries
practice in Language of flowers, so
the young people of either sex among
the Battaks correspond by means of q
language of leaves. The leaves them
selves have no significance, but their
names modified perhaps, within the
bounds of poetic license, indicate or
rhyme with the word which the cores
poadent wishes to suggest.

Imitation Diamonds.

Most of the imitation diamonds, said
diamond dealer, scarcely resemble
real diamonds closely enough to de-
ceive any one, but the finer sorts OF
counterfeits, made in France from vari-
GUS compositions, are so wonderfully like
as occasionally to cheat the experts eye,
and no ordinary person could possibly
tell that they were false in ball room.
The most dangerous limitations of the
diamond, however, are known as ''doub-
lets, the manufacture of which is ex-
ceedingly anc tent. A thin fake Of q
real, though inferior, stone, with as
little color as possible, is first pro-
cured. Then a bit of crystal is taken
and covered with transparent glue in
which is mixed the coloring matter
necessary to initiate the finest specimen.
Upon this basis is superimposed the
cheap diamond flake and the joining so
artfully concealed that frequently the
most practied lapidaries are taken in by
the fraud. Doub.ets are sometimes SO
artistically made that nothing but the
best of specific gravity will show them
to be false. Frequently cluster of
diamonds will contain several doublets,
and in necklaces are often found twenty
per cent. of such questionable stones.
Thus you see that TO buy diamonds from
irresponsible persons, especially at
low price, is the worst possible folly,
since the chances are enormous that
you are cheated The value of diamond,
too, depends upon such a number of
conditions, Of which only an experienced
student of precious stones is able to
Judge.
The method employed for determin-
ing the commences of diamonds at the
Brazilian mines is to rub them with
black mastic, which will adhere if the
gem is real. Or it may be rubbed
against another diamond, its purity
being judged by the resulting sound.
The best of all tests, though, is that of
refraction. Unlike all other crystals,
the diamond has not double refracting
power, which means that objects looked
at through it do not appear as if multi
piled by two. II you have diamond of
which you are doubtful look at pin
through it. If You see two pins the
stone is false. IL Washington Star.

Women Who Buy Mems Hats.

at is not perhaps just the thing in
point OF good manners and social Ell
quette to allow woman TO wait while
you attend to the wants of man," said
local hat dealer the other day. "But
when a woman comes in to buy hat for
child Of one Of the late mans straw
hat fad and a masculine comes in be-
hind her We always wait on him first.
Whyf Well, for various reasons. The
man as rule buys hat costing him all
the way from 1925 to So, while the
woman seldom wants more than 50 worth
of hat Then again it is easier and
more salts 'actory to try to sell hats to
dozen men than try to get q woman to
invest Sl.75 in straw hat for herself
or rs cents in head gear for child.
They will come in with one or two
friends, continued the loquacious
dealer, "and try on about every hat in

where. Then, after the imagine they

follows an animated discussion, broken
by various lapses into comments on out
side matters till the hat clerk begins to
grow dizzy. He has not been used to
that sort of thing, poor fellow, till within
the last two seasons, and it wears on
him. The woman about to purchase a

The Mexican Wasp.

The Mexican wasp is built entirely
for business. He is over two inches
long when he is of age. and is about the
color of bay horse. His plunger is q
full inch long and as fine as spiders
web. Unlike the stinger OF a common
bee, the singer of the Mexican wasp
is non-forfeitable. He doesn't give up
after one lunge, but has it always ready
for an all day job if necessary. The mis-
sion of the Mexican wasp seems to be
merely to hunt ~ people and run that
stinger of his into them. The natives say
that he will go ten miles out Of his way
to get a whack at person. The
natives seem TO get fat on snake bites,
centiped bites and scorpion stings, but
if they discover one Of these wasps in
their neighborhood they hunt for cover
without delay.

Pussy as Fur-Bearing Animal.

"Cash paid for cats SKINS" the sign
read in the window of Washington
furrier, who astonished the newspaper
man by telling him that there was al
ways good market for pussies' pets.
Give cents apiece, he said, sis what
we pay for common skins, ten cents for
ma tese pure and twenty-five cents for
black. Of course they must be in good
condition. Some male cats are so given
TO back fence warfare that their hides
become considerably damaged. The
fur of the sleek and well-fed domestic
pussy is what we find most available for
our purposes. Street cats are usually
too ragged and coarse-haired to be
useful.

you speak,"

made Of cats pelts in this country is in
the manu- 'acture of carriage robes, but
vast numbers of them are sent from the
United States to Europe, where they
ore made into coats, hats, rugs, dressing

Taxidermisfs, too, in other parts of
the country are advertising for kittens
by the thousand for stuffing. In the
process they employ, the skin is first
removed, leaving only the scraped top
of the skull within it. Both head and
body are then built up with pipe clay
and tow, piece of wire being 30 adj
justed that one end comes out through
the forehead and the other at the tip Of
the tail. To this four other wires run

is then sewn up and the animal formed
