GIRL AND GOLD.
Il Is Sometimes the One and Sometimes
Ia Other That Makes Jewclry Crock.

Il Is Sometimes the One and Sometimes
the Other That Makes Jeweiry Crock.
Every jeweler has doubtless met
with many curious incidents in his
business career, but l think that IN ex-
perience of mine is worth relating.
Shortly after the holidays there came
into my place a pleasant hammered
young man who expressed a desire to
look at some gold necklaces. II is need
less TO say hat / sold him one. 1t was
IA carats and very pretty. Two days
later the door was flung 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
me as a swindler. II took half an hour
TO learn his story.
It seems that after presenting the
necklace to his lady love he had taken
her to a reception ornamented with
hispresent. After the first dance there
was a commotion in one corner Of the
room, and the rivals Of our customers
best girl were tittering 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 fainting, re-
turned home with her brother, and
sent the necklace back to her young
man with a note that she did not like
his brass.
/ tested the necklace in his presence,
and proved 10 him that il was full IA
carats. About that time a young ply
stefan called to purchase a scarf pin.
He had overheard part Of the story
and asked TO hear the balance, as he
believed he could throw some light on
the subject Pretty soon he 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 in her
blood, and as any Of these substances
has an affinity for gold the expla-
nation is clear. l 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
off and carried his purchase away.
In connection with this subject q
good story is told at the expense of a
Maiden Lane dealer. He gave his
sister an is carat ring as a present.
He is a practical joker, and she
asked him if the ring was gold. He
replied that it was. That evening the
young lady had occasion to remove
the ring from her finger, and she
noticed that the skin was greatly dis
colored. Jim has carried his Jokes
too far" she exclaimed, and opening
the window threw the trinket into the
street; some gamin picked it up.
When my friend learned of it he came
TO me for consolation, and | explained
my own experience. His sister IS sorry
for her haste.
"An is not gold that glitters," nor
Is everything brass hat discolors. A
person wearing a IA carat ring on one
finger and a 10 carat on another may
have noticed that the finger with the
higher carat will be discolored and the
other one not. The reason is that the
ring of the lower carat fits snugly,
and the other is rather loose, thus
causing a friction. Jewellers Weekly.

ARE THEY BADLY TREATED?
Rev. Or. chiIds Says the Nations
indian Pupils Are Abused.

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Sometime ago
Rev. Dr. T. S. Childs Of this city, at the
request Of Secretary Noble, went to the
Hampton Indian School and quietly investi-
gated the complaints in regard to the
management Of the Indians which had been
brought to the attention of the government.
DIR. Childs's report was 10 the effect that the
food given the Indian boys was not good.
and that the indians complained that the
contributions smade for their benefit we're
used for the benefit Of the negroes of the
school. DR.. Childs also animadverted severe
ly upon the use of the dungeon or guard
house built in the basement under the offices
OF the institution. This cell is only six feet
six inches long, three feet three inches wide
and nine feet six inches high. 1t has no
window or means Of light whatever, and
when the door is closed the cell is absolutely
dark. The only ventilation is by means of
some small holes in the side wall at the top
Of the cell which do not connect with the
outside air. A little straw comprised the
furniture of the room. Indian boys, DR..
Childs reported, were sometimes confined
In the cell from few days to more than
week at time. and some Of the officers of
the institution said the stencil was awful
when boy was removed.
Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, chairman of the
Board of Indian Commissioners, secured
copy of this report and sent two members of
the board to Hampton, who made a report
directly contrary to that of DR.. Childs. DIR.
Childs has written letter to Gen. Fisk
making some sharp criticisms Of the Board
of Indian Commissioners. That there were
things needing correction in the manage
ment of the Indian school at Hampton is
evident from the fact that they were cor
rected after his investigation and the In
dians sent a representative Of the school to
this city to return thanks for its improved
condition. As to the immuring of
Indians in the dungeon, DIR. Childs says he
is amazed that the Board of Indian Com
missioners, which has no reason for ex-
istence unless it stands between the Indians
and wrong, can defend this mode of dis
ciplining Indian children. 1t is understood
that Secretary Noble has decided that the
cell punishment shall not be inflicted here
after,

can home, given up language and custom and
been compelled 10 gain whatever they have
from you Americans.
He then told Of the work Of the London
Meeting, saying the whole plan started
through the efforts and enthusiasm Of two
young women in 1866; and In 1868 these
young women were sent 10 India as the first
English missionaries Of the Friends. They
worked their own passage In the vessel that
bore them to their field. At the present time
they have 40 missionaries, and last year rails
ed SAG, 600 for the work.
Mr.. Newman then took up each mission
and spoke concerning the work individually.
At COnstantinople there Is an excellent
Friend meeting In the heart Of the city with
an attendance Of 100 or 120 people.
Down In Southern Africa Ethest Clark Is
doing successful work. He Is an English
gentleman who is not afraid to walk behind
plow, for which the natives give him in
creased attention. They will listen TO man
who can work.
In Madagaska they have a track Of
land in the form Of a triangle containing 20
square miles. They have 139 Christian con-
gregation meetings every Sabbath, with an
attendance OF 1880 people. The missiona-
ries live on rice altogether. There is a Nor
NAL school for men and one for women.
The work in China and India, with Its pc
culiarities and hardships, was spoken Of,
and In the latter country he said that In nine
years the cry had changed from "Buddha
will win," to "Christ will be victorious
A paper on systematic giving by Hannah
j. Lord was read, a collection taken up, and
then Emeline Tuttle spoke for the cause Of
the Indians.
A half dozen quilts had been sent by va
the auctloning Of these was the final exer-
else OF the evening.

Notwithstanding the cloudy weather, aud the
crop is heavier than 1t has been for many

CALAIS, June 17.-Henry McIntire Of
Milltown, N. b., aged about 20 years, was
arrested, Saturday, while setting fire to waste
cotton in the st. Croix cotton mill. On his
