The Appraising of Diamonds.

The aDpraising of diamonds by the
Government officials is one of the most
delicate of all the tasks they are ever
called upon to perform. 1t is done in alb
solute quiet, the scales being so delicate
that even the vibration of the human
voice would stir them, and an eyelid ac-
cidentally dropped on one ofthem would
send one side or the other flying up
Every gem is examined with the most abs
solute precision, powerful magnifying
glasses being used to detect any flaws.
This has to be done, and most particularly
with the larger stones, for flaws invisible
to the naked eye but which, according tC
their location, seriously affect the value of
any of them, are discovered by the mag
nifying glass. This tries the eyes severely,
the many different cOlOrs of the stone
dancing continuously before the eyes.
From the judgment of this Government
expert no appeal is possible, and so well
is this understood that there is seldom a
false invoice made on the stones sent into
this country. Millions of dollars worth
of stones are annually imported by us.
They come in small wooden boxes about
six inches long and three inches wide and
deep. An air of mystery and secrecy
pervades the appraising room when these
are opened, the experts being shut in be-
hind carefully closed and guarded doors.

BLACK CLOUDS son.
A GOVERNMENT RIDERS STORY.

There will never be another Indian out
break serious enough to call for the &C
ton of full regiment of soldiers in sup
pressing it. The determination of the
buffalo was the death-blow to the hostile
Indian. Added to that, the building of
the railroad lines flooded the West with
emigrants, miners, hunters and tourists,
and the Indian found himself hedged in
by circumstances. The red man is no
longer warrior. He is down, and down
pretty low, and it is the beginning of the
end. He is doomed to follow the buffalo,
and his total extinction will be regretted
only by the few philanthropists who
argued for him as a theory, and never
came in physical contact.
No human being ever came nearer
being tiend than an Apache Indian. The
Pawnees, Blackfeet and Cheyennes were
wicked enough, but the Apache had
traits of his Own-a fiendishness which
other tribes might initiate but could not
equal. He was born crafty and cruel He
never had the slightest feeling of mercy
or pity from the cradle to the grave. He
was never so much amused as when assist
never so satisfied as when planning to
take life.
A year previous to the time General
Custer was ordered West to begin avigor-
Gus campaign against the Indians, the
Apaches were in their glory, and they
boosted that they could defeat any force
of soldiers sent against them. I was
scouting and mail-carrying in Texas for
the Government, and after many close
shaves was finally captured by the red
imps. 1t is of that incident | am going
TO write.
A month before my capture was out
on scout on the Rio Pecos River, our
party numbering eighteen men. We
were well mounted and moving quickly
from point to point. One day at noon
we went into camp in a grove of cotton
woods, and before had unsaddled the
Lieutenant in command informed me
that he had lost his revolver from its
holster during the last mile of our ride,
and asked me to ride back in search. IN
stead of riding [ returned on foot, and
had the luck to find the weapon only
about quarter Of q mile away. I then
cut across an elbow to reach the grove,
and when within stones throw came sud-
denly upon an Indian pony ina dry gulch,
and at the same instant discovered his
owner crouched behind boulder with
his back to me and his face to the grove
had him under my rifle before he could
turn his head. Indeed, my fingerwas on
the trigger when 1 saw that he was boy.
He had a rifle ia his hands, but called
out to him to lay it down or I would fire,
and after a moments hesitation he
obeyed. Then, as l kept him covered at
a distance of only seven or eight feet,
called to the men in the grove, and
several of them came hurrying down in
response.

The Grain of Salt.

A lady finding a beggar-boy at her door
gave him a meal of coffee, meat and bread
and butter, which he sat down in the area To
eat. A moment afterward. however. he
raped beseechingly ct the door again. and
on its being opened remarked with his hand
upon his heart: IF l had but little salt

OF course he got the salt.
Human nature Is always lacking some
thing. Oftentimes it were better off without
its wishes Yet ii is universally conceded that
no permanent enjoyment can be had without
the SAVIOR of health, which keeps good cheer
fresh and preserves and sweetens life for the

The great, rudy farmer pines because he
has not won fame or position. The famous
man longs for the lusty health of the sturdy
farmer.
The grain Of salt is wanting.
How to secure and retain the SAVIOR Of

over-wOrked generation is problem worthy
of our closest attention. 1t cannot be done
with stimulants which but spur on the over
worked nerves to fresh efforts, only To leave
them more jaded and shattered. Nor with
narcotics, which temporarily SOothe, but to
create an unnatural appetite, the terrors OF

1t may be asked, what is the cause of this
extreme nervousness, lack of appetite, lung

Kidneys and Liver, through meat diet dur

Beans are Vegetables.

The question as to the proper classif-
cation of beans under the tariff was in
volved in the case of Robertson, Collector,
VS.. Solomon ct al, decided recently by
the Supreme Court of the United States.
The record of the case discloses a singular
difference of opinion regarding the proper
classification. The Collector levied duty
on the beans at the rate of twenty per
cent, on the ground that they were
garden seed. The Circuit Court for the
Southern District of New York held that
they should be admitted free of duty as
seed not otherwise provided for. The
Supreme Court of the United States
reached still another conclusion, holding
that they were vegetables, and AS
such dutiable at ten per cent. ad valorem.
The Court said that, although beans are
often planted as seed, yet their principal
use is as an article of food, and they
should therefore be classed as vegetables.
