business career bat Bink that IN cx-

Shortly after the holidays there came
into my place a pleasant hammered
young man who expressed desire to
look at some gold necklaces. ltisnocd-
less to say that sold him one. II was
If carats and very pretty. Two days
later the door was Hung open and IN
rushed the same young man, boiling
With rage. He threw the necklace on
the counter demanded the return Of
his money, and threatened TO expose
NE as a swindlcr. il took half an hour
to learn his story.
1t seems that after presenting the
necklace TO his lady love be had taken
her to a reception ornamented with
his present. After the first dance there
was a comm0tion IN one corner OF the
room. and the rivals of our customer
best girl were iittcrlng among them
selves and whispering about her
The young lady looked in the glass
and almost tainted at the sight Her
beautiful neck was almost black from
the friction of the necklace. She
changed her mind about lalntlng, re
turned home with her brother. and
sent the necklace baci, 10 her young
man with note that she did not like
his brass
tested the necklace in his presence,
and proved to him that it was full u
carats. About that time young ply
sician called 10 purchase a scarf pin.
He had overheard part of the story
and asked 10 hear the balance, as he
bclicycd he could throw some light on
the subject. Pretty soon be laughed
outright and said why. sir. the
trouble is with your girl and not the
necklace She has too much sulphur,
iron. mercury. salt or acid M her
blood. and as any Of these substances
has an allinity for gold the cXpla-
nation is clear ] have patients for
whom mercurial medicines have been
prescribed. and the result Is that their
fingers upon which rings are worn
discolor at once. My customer cooled
of and carried his purchase away.
I'm connection with this subject a
good story is told at the expense Of
Maiden Lane dealer He gave lis
sister an IS carat ring as q present
He is a practical joker and She
asked him If the ring was gold. lie
replied that il was. That evening the
young lady had occasion to remove
the ring from her finger and she
noticed that the skin was greatly dis
colorcd. Jim has carried his jokes
too far" She exclaimed. and opening
the window threw the trinket into the
street: some gamiu picked 1t up.
When my friend learned OF 1t became

my own exporicncc. Ills sister IS sorry
for her haste.

is everything brass that disc0l0rs. \
person wearing a If carat ring on one
finger and a I'D carat ON another may
have noticed that the finger with the
higher carat will be discoiorcd and the
other one not. The reason is that the
ring Of the lower carat fits snugly,
and the other is rather loose, thus
causinga friction. Jewellers Weekly.

Mr.. GLADsroNE's last speech on Ire
land is full of practical wisdom that
applies to all great countries. The
KEYNOTE of his remarks was that an
imperial power could weld its depen-
dent States and colonies to the central
power by giving them the fullest lib
erty possible within the relations OF the
parent power. He rected his expert
ences with the policy Of Great Britain
wherein history shows that those col
onies are the most devoted 10 the
Northern country that have been al
lowed the most privileges.

Some Of our friends must have mis-
understood the official utleTances'
anent gubernatorial candidates. Ia re-
iation TO General Paine we merely paid
compliment TO that gentleman which
was reflection OF the popular idea OF
the State. and asked that his friends
would STATE positively whether or not
he would be a candidate in order to re-
lieve the members Of the convention OF
an unnecessary discussion and clear
the field for fair contest. All the can
didates we have heard named are
well known Democrats, and are
ON the most friendly relations
with the TIMgs, but We think that a
newspaper should leave the nomina-
ton entirely to the convention. II we
should publish all the nominating let
tiers, we could not publish the telegraph
news; and the fact is that the only
nominating letters We have published
are two that related TO misrepresenta-
tons about Que Of the candidates.

harmony that comes from tina. disci-
pliue in a party that holds the safety Of
