Coloring Agates.

A suitable agate; after being thoroughly
dried, is immersed in a mixture of honey
and water or in olive oil, and kept thus at
least three days, exposed to moderate heat
1t is then washed, dried and put In vessel
containing enough sulphuric acid to cover it,
The vessel is thereafter exposed to gentle
heat for a varying number of hours, when
the porous layers are found to have become
much. darker in color. The reason of this Is
that these layers, having become saturated
with oil, are acted upon by the sulphuric
acid, which decomposes the sugary or oily
constituent, and forms in its place deposit
of carbon. 1t is in this way that banded
agate Is converted into the onyx, with its
black and white layers, used in the produc-
ton of canoes and intaglios.
Exposure To strong sunlight was long ago
found to give reddish tint to gr " colored
agates, and this suggested the burning Of
such stones so as to convert them into car
nelians. At Oberstein, likely stones for this
purpose are first dried thoroughly, then sat
urated in sulphuric acid and afterward ex-
posed in an earthenware crucible to red heat
They are allowed to cool slowly, and are
then seen to be of light red color. Not
content with initiating the rarer natural va
rieties OF agate, such as onyx and carnelian,
German manufacturers have taken to STAIN
ing agates blue, and all other sorts of colors
unknown to the natural stone. Aniline dyes,
as unnatural as they are fugitive, have also
lately been used for agate staining.-Jewel-
ler's Review.

GOrsets of Leather.

Quite n column has been devoted in the
leading French papers to the news that
fresh material has been discovered for-cor-
sets. One would not expect English intlu-
ence to assert itself in so delicate a depart
ment. But leather corsets are to be traced
remotely to the influence of the insulars.
French ladies have taken up tennis lin a very
dainty way and croquet. They even men
ton cricket as within feminine possibilities,
though probably they only mean the less &C
tive game that is played with hoops and NAL
lets. However, the Partisan corsetier has
seen his opportunity. For such robust exer-
else the ordinary fabric is quite insufficient.
A concession is to be made to English de-
mands There is to be give and take French
girls are to play tennis, and English girls are
to wear leather corsets. The change will
probably be greater for the French than fur
the English, though neither innovation is
much more than revival In the days Of
Henry VII Shakespeare is any authority
the Parisians played kind of tennis, and
certainly in the days OF Cromwell, if Eng
lish girls did not wear kid corsets, their
fathers put on leather yerkins. Pail Mall

Tho Day for Doctors.

Nv hich do you suppose is the busiest day
In the week for physician. | mean by that
the day on which one gets the most new
casesr asked a disciple of .Escuapius of a
visitor yesterday afternoon while both were
sitting in the doctors coy little Office on the
south side.
Il don't know" was the reply, ''but
thought the doctors business was very
uncertain; in fact l never heard that people
are more apt TO become sick on one day in the
week than on another
well, then, listen to me, and will give
you the benefit of the experience which
have had during the last thirty years 1t
has been tue result of my observation that
the largest number of people take sick on
Monday. Not because it is q particularly I'M
lucky day, nor because that day is an enemy
to human health and life but for this reason;
vi course you know that on Sunday the reg
ular routine kind of existence OF every day
life receives a change The man who usu-
ally goes down town to his Office STAYS at
home on that day, the workingman and la
borer who have been busly occupied during
the week either at the mill, glass house or
other places, do not, as n rule work either
Now the mere interruption of the muscular
movement would probably not have any bad
erect upon ANYBODY were 1t not for one
thing, the change of diet
The loving, thoughtful housewife, who
knows that Sunday is the only day on which
she can have all those that are dearest to her
around the dinner table, always exerts her
culinary abilities more than usual, and she
tries to make something out of the common
something nicer and better to put before
them to eat. The consequence is that she
makes her cookery richer, and she throws in
a few knickknacks here and there that taste
very well, but as a rule these things play
havoc with a PERSONS digestion, especially
when the stomach is not used to them
'Now, that is the whole secret 1t is a
well known fact that most diseases arise from
a disorder of the digestive organs, and hence
you have the explanation why more people
do not get up on Monday morning as well
and as bright as on any other ay."-Pitts-

rHE DEAD COMES TO LIFE.


And is Married TO Former Rejected
Lover-Given Away by Her Husband.
One of the streets of Florence is known as
Via del Morti, the street of the dead Many
years ago a beautiful Italian princess was
sought in marriage by two mobiles, Prince
Goudi and Count Aldobrandi, whose palaces
stand at either end of the short and narrow
street. The prince was successful in his suit,
but in less than year the beautiful young
woman died, and her body was placed in the
crypt beneath the cathedral, the coffin and
the iron door of the vault being left open, as
is still the custom in Tuscany, so that if the
person thought dead comes to life he may es-
cape being buried alive. In the middle of
the night after the funeral Prince Goudi WIS
startled by a knock at the outer door. The
porter opened the door and "a white figure
CROPPED its way in.
The porter fell in a swoon, and the prince
rushed to a chapel in the palace and fell
praying before the altar, beseeching protec-
ton against his dead wifes ghost For days
all Florence rang with the story of how
Prince Goudi was haunted by his wife's ghost,
and the excitement gradually died away.
When the porter swooned and the prince
fed to his altar, the white figure slipped out
of the house and went to that of her old
sutton, Count Aldobrandi. There she knocked
feebly, but the porter was asleep, and the
master of the house came 10 open the door
The princess fell at his feet, and he lifted
her up and called upon the women of his
household to care for her. After a week had
passed, no one knowing the facts, the count
applied TO the patriarch of the cathedral,
and asked: Holy father, if woman is de-
clared dead and receives the sacred office of
the church, returns to life, is repulsed by her
husband, is but received and taken care of
by friend of her living days, who may
claim herlr
The venerable priest said the question was
so weighty that the pope must answer it, and
he replied that the one who had rescued her
could claim her 1t was soon announced that
the Count Aldobrandi would wed noble lady
long stranger in ference, and he requested
his friend Goudi to give away the bride, her
parents not being present. At the appointed
day, before the altar of chapel in the
duomo, tue marriage took place The ques
ton was asked: "Who gives this woman to
be the wife of this manfn Prince Goudi
stepped forward, but not until he had taken
her hand did he know that he was bestowing
his own bride upon another. But his knowl-
edge came too late. For years Count Aldo
brandt and his wife lived happily together,
and at this late day descendant of Prince
Goudi tells the story as IA historical fact

A Woman's Discovery.

Another wonderful discovery has
been made, and that, too, by lady in

clutches upon her and for seven years she
withstood its severests tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months she
coughed necessarily and could not sleep.
She bought of US a bottle of DR.. Kings

so much relieved on taking the first dose
that she slept all night. and with one

The Time tn GLOW Tn,

utterance to singular theory few days ago
that will strike the average reader as ut least

40 years Of age, and Pm hedging, am. I've
done good deal of hard work, but for few
years from now I'm going to go it tribe
slow, and after I'm so I'll steam up again.
I've theory that from 40 to 30 is a period in
mans life just about as critical as it is in the
life OF the gentler sex. 1 haven't any
statistics on which sd lay my finger, but IN

Eat Plenty of Onions.

No family ought to be without onions the
whole year round. Plant old onions in the
fall, and they will come up at least three
weeks earlier in the spring than by spring
planting. Give children of all ages few of
them raw, as soon as they are fit to be eaten;
do not miss treating them with mess of raw
onions three or four times a week When
they get too large and strong to be eaten raw,
then boil or roast them. During unhealthy
seasons, when diphtheria and like contagious
diseases prevail, onions ought to be eaten in
the spring of the year at least once a week
Onions are invigorating and prophylactic
beyond description. Children do not die of
diphtheria or scar atina, anginosa, etc, where
onions are freely eaten.-Halps Journal of
