About D,apnona..

Colorless diamonds are usually the
most valuable, but colored stone with
an exquisite tint fetches as high a price
as any. The famous Hope diamond,
which weighs about 144i troy grains,
and is said to be worth e25, 900. is OF a
superb sapphire blue color. Large dia-
monds Of the first water are very rare,
and in the whole of Europe at the pres
ent time there are only five Of more than
100 carats weight. "a carat is 81 grains
troy The largest of these is the gem
of the imperial scepter of Russia. which
came from India.
The others are the Pitt or Regent dia-
mond belonging to the French govern
ment (this was the jewel Napoleon used
to wear in tho hilt of his sword); the
Tuscany diamond. which Is now the
first crown jewel of the Emperor of
Austria; the "Kohinoor," In the possess
sion of Queen Victoria; and the "Star of
the South" which originally came from
Brazil, and is now lying In pawn In
some banking house in Paris. The dia-
mond, which can only be cut and pol
ished by its own powder, is either FASH
Toned into ''rose" or brilliant" In
the former, one portion is made fat,
while the rest of the stone is carved into
faceted dome. The latter, which is
always made about three times as thick
as the rose, Is always cut into facets, but
80 as to form kind of double pyramid,
with common central base or girdle.---

Rest In the Omen Air.

DR.. Oakman s. Paine Is q great be-
lever in rest, and thinks that, next to
sleep, the most beneficial kind of rest
may be taken in the open air. Talking
of rest recently, he said:
"How rest should be taken depends
entirely upon the person who is wanting
the rest. If busy man can sit still for
few minutes at odd intervals during
the day and put away oil thoughts OF
business and just dream for q few min
utes, he will find that he would be great
ly refreshed by SO doing. There can be
no stated time to take rest. One should
never get SO tired as to be compelled to
take rest, and IL tho rest was taken ju-
diciously and at certain intervals, one
never would get so tired as to be COM
PEELED to go away for rest.
Literary men, or men who do great
deal of brain work, require great deal
more rest than manual laborers. Physi-
cal workers only get their muscles tired.
The muscles are much more easily rest
ed than the brain is. Brain workers
should take their rest In the open air.
Any change Of thought is rest to q
brain worker, and after he has been
studying hard and exercising his brain
to any great extent, walk or ride In
the country will be the greatest possible
rest that he could have."-New York

Raxolntlon In Printing.

To the Man About Town an old printer
remarked the other day, eve are ON the
eve Of great revolution In the typo
graphical appearanceo of printed matter,
especially newspapers. that is, the use of
black paper printed In white letters, in
stead of white paper printed in black
letters, as now. The change Is one to be
desired by the public, for the reason that
a whiteletter on black ground Dos
sesses greater contrast and distinctness,
and is, consequently, easier on the eyes,
The change will give at first an odd
enough appearance to printed matter,
but the merit of it will eventually result
in its general adoption, and In time the
black letter win be as rare as the white
letter now Is. Sign painters and show
card printers recognize the superiority
of the white letter. and are rapidly
adopting 1t, as Is evidenced by the nu-
merous white lettered signs now to be
seen on the streets and In the shops.
The change would be comparatively in
expensive TO publishers, and as black is
cheaper than white paper. a saving could
be effected. With our newspapers thus
printed reading on cars and in dimly
lighted places would be not only prac-
tieable, but easy.p--St. Louis Republic.

The Turks and tho Crescent.

The crescent was not originally an en-
blem of the Turk. 1t was first used by
the primitive Christians of Constantine
pie and the eastern provinces Of the old
Roman Empire as an emblem of the
growing influence of Christianity. 1t
was not until about the year 1853, after
the Turks had overrun Asia Minor and
parts OF southeastern Europe, and had
captured Constantinople, that the Turks
adopted the crescent as their national
emblem. The Koran prohibits the use
of images and symbols in the religious
ceremonies Of the strict Turk, or the In
ternal decorations Of their temples and
mosques, the rule being SO strict as not
to allow the martial or civic decoration
Of their greatest generals or pashas, sue
cessful commanders or other distinguish
ed persons The adoption OF the cres-
cent by the Turk as national emblem
Is an oddity which has. so far, remained
unexplained. Exchange.

Pronosal of : NIndman.

when Lee, the poet, was confined In
Bedlam. a friend went to visit him. and
finding he could converse. reasonably
imagined that he was cured of his mad
ness. The poet offered to show him Bed
lam They went over this melancholy
prison, Lee moralizing philosophieally
enough all the time, to keep his COM
panion perfectly at case. At length they
assembled to the top of the building, and
as theywere both looking down from the
perilous height, Lee seized his friend
by the arm, and exclaimed; "Let us
immortalize ourselvesi let us take this
leap. Wen jump down together this
instant" ANY man could jump down
lsaid his friend coolly); we should not
immortalize ourselves by this leap; but
let US go down, and try If we can jump
up again." The mailman, struck with
the idea of asmore astonishing leap than
that which he had himself proposed,
yielded to this new impulse. and his
friend rejoiced to see him run down
stairs full of new project for securing
immortality. 1t is needless to say they
didnot again ascend together. Montreal

Teaching Dancing.

] differ with tho professor who thinks
that ne can teach pupils the art OF dane
ing by mail, using printed instructions.
No person will ever become dancer by
that mode Of instruction. You might as
well try to learn the shoemaking trade
in similar way. Many pupils who wish
to acquire the art of dancing are quite
shy at first, and the bashfulness can only
be overcome by going into company.
Good instruction and plenty of practice
is required to learn dancing, and no one
will ever become an adept in the art who
follows instructions sent by mail. --Danc-
ing Master in st. Louis Globe Democrat.

ARTIFICIAL Teeth.

The finest artificial teeth are made of
the best ivory, but the great majority of
false masticators now in use are simply
pieces of specially prepared hard por-
celain. The following is one Of the pro-
cesses adopted for their manufacture:
Fine calcined or roasted quartz powder,
well ground fluorspar, china clay, and a
very little oxide Of tin are very intimate
ly mixed and ground together. and af-
forwards made into a soft paste with
water. This paste is poured into molds
of various kinds and sizes of teeth, and
allowed to set. The plastic grinders arc
then transferred to furnace, where
they are "cured"--that is, half baked or
hardened. When this has been done
they are covered with an enamel made
of paste Of spar and quartz, and finally
subjected to an intense heat, until they
are sufficiently baked, when they are
ready for the dentist. Surgical Reporter.

Il daily meets my dreamy eyes,
That old world scene by farther seas,
And all unchanged; the water sighs
stu In that bay and still the breeze
Sings low, sweet songs amid the trees.
Here stands house quaint, Swallowed DER
By clustering branches; wavelets oil
The river whispering near the door;
That white path meets the threshold still
And blrss chirp love with bill to bill
That rude old bridge still spans the stream.
The passers few are passing vet;
The boat IA there--it doth meseem
The sailors sleep-mayhap forget
For ne'er was sail since furlcd or set
The bay spreads out--ciear. placid. bright
A summer sea, fringed round with green:
Afar some ishe. mayhRp. In sight
Rising from out Its breast Is seen.
And houses mirror in It's sheen.
And all IS still-nor voice, nor song.

OF thatfsi scene-fair, though wrong

Spoiled His Programme.

A thug who was recently Imprisoned
In India. having been caught almost In
the actual commission of murder, COM
planned bitterly to an English officer at
having been deprived of the opportunity
to fulfill his ambition. He had begun
life with the fixed determination to kill
an even thousand human beings. and at
the time of his capture was in fair way
to carry out his design. He had already
killed 700 persons, and il the authorities
would have let him alone for quite lit
tie while longer he would have reached
the 1000 mark. He was willing to agree
to give himself up again IL he were al
lowed to go free long enough to bag the
additional 800 needed. and he thought it
great hardship that so reasonable n re-
quest should be refused. San Francisco
