Considerable attention has been di-
rected to the tricks of the l::..:a nd trade
in Paris by the investigation of the
charge that II firm of diamond dealers
had "doctored" yellowish diamonds
from the Cape so that they could be sold
as gems Of the first water. The illegiti-
mate proceeds of the firm from this prac-
tice are estimated 1T s., 009, goo. The
Paris professor Of chemistry, Berthelot,
has shed this light gu the matter:
The painting" of diamonds is a trick
known to all dealers in diamonds. am
surprised only to learn that these men
allowed themselves to be caught so
easily. To give yellowish Cape diamonds
the appearance of white Brazilian or In
dian diamonds a man has only to dip
them in aniline. The process resembles
the blueing Of clothes by the washer
woman, and was discovered about ten
years ago,
The operation is so simple that not a
few Paris wolnen practice it. They buy
cheap diamonds and touch them up Just
before wearing them out iii an aniline
bath. Tie appearance of the doctored
diamonds dr.rivcs at first glance even
the experts. j'cc layer Of anilinc wears off
quickly. however. and the fraud is then
quite evident.
Diamond dealers are on the alert
against frauds of tins kind, and | doubt
that any house could market 50, O00, 900
worth of the doctorcd goods. The diff
ference between Cape diamonds and the
Brazilian OF Indian diamonds, which is
the basis of the fraud, consists in the
greater beauty and clearness of the
latter, as we'll as i'll their greater durabil.

Miss Jessie Gordon, daughter of a
rancher who lives in the woods in Kitsap
county, while returning home after Wis
iting her uncle, saw a big black bear
standing within a few feet of the trail,
and apparently waiting for her to come
closer. Womanlike, her first impulse
was to scream at the top of her voice;
her second, to start for home at the full
est speed along the trail. She had over
half a mile to go. The bear, apparently
scared by the shrek, started on a parallel
track in the same direction, over fallen
logs and through thick brush. The race
was a neck and neck one, both contest
ants making good time.
Finally, on arriving at the young lady's
home, the bear politely passed around by
the back into the woods, while the other
contestant passed like a whirlwind into
the front o by the open door, and
fell exhausted on the floor. She did not
go into Mysteries, but suggested to her
father as soon as she regained her breath
that he "might as we'll take his gun and
look for that bear instead of standing
there asking foolish questions. Seattle

A Bag Luncheon.

Variety was given to one of the late
luncheon parties of the season partici-
pated in by a companyof young women
by the guests appearing in paper bags.
The striped paper used by druggists was
bought in quantities and gummel to-
gether to fashion the large bag needed.
Every bag was notched at the top as
commercially, and after it was filled
with a young woman it was drawn up
around her neck and confined by a
string. Openings were left for the feet
so that locomotion was possible, but the
arms were bagged. Over the head was
fitted o smaller bag with apertnres for
the eyes and respiratory purposes.
The effect of a score of these animated
paper parcels moving about the drawing
room was most grotesque. Identities
were concealed till luncheon was an
nounced, when at a signal the fragile
shells were burst and twenty handsomely
gowned but rather warm looking young
women stepped out of their paper cases

Fighting IL Bear in tho Dark.

a large black bear entered a tunnel in
the Santa Maria mine, in Tuolumne
county, Cal, and attacked several
miners. AS the men realized their dan
ger, which was made apparent only by
the dim light of their candles, they
grasped their picks firmer and attacked
the brute. The foreman struck the bear
first and drew blood. This infatuated
bruin, and he made a resistless charge
on the men, extinguishing nearly all
their candles and lacerating every one
more or less. One man, named Dougher-
ty, had his scalp torn off by one blow Of
the bears paw; others had the flesh of
their arms laid bare. The contest in the
darkness and close atmosphere lasted an
hour, when the bear was killed, more by
good luck than by skill. Exhausted as
the men We're, they dragged the bear
out of the tunnel and took him to their
station on q car.-Chicago Herald.

Ordered a Coffin for Her Cat,

l was walking along the street not
long ago when my attention was called
to a small coffin in an undertaker's win
dow. My curiosity was aroused, and l
went in and asked what it was intended
for. 1t was only 18 inches long and 6
inches wide, covered with white velvet,
with u broad band of black around the
sides. It was perfect in every detail and
was really quite startling.
"That %cofin," the undertaken told me,
sis meant for a cat. A lady, prominent
in society, had just had a pet kittie die,
and she ordered this coffin made especi-
ally for it. 1t is a metallic one"
l was surprised at this, but was more
startled than ever when he continued:
eyes; the funeral is tomorrow. They
have a lot out at Calvary, and it is to be
buried there. They have just ordered a
beautiful tombstone for it."-Chicago

The City Of the Future.

The city of the future in a country
where cities are not left to accrete by
chance, but are laid out with some re-
gard to their possibilities, will undoubt-
edly be planned with definite regard to
its ultimate architecture. It is because
Washington was thus laid out and Bos-
ton was not that Washington promises
to be the most symmetrical and the
handsomest city in the world, while Bos-
ton remains and will always remain an
agglomeration of straight n and
crooked cowpaths. New York, in some
respects the most unfortunate of all
American cities, owing to its longitud-
inal limitations, is forcing attention to
this fact with increasing poignancy every
day.
Suppose for a moment that New York
had been planned as any great modern
structure is planned-that is to say, by
beginning at the cellar. Suppose it had
a sub-story, and in great part a roof
Does any one fail to see that such pro-
vision would relieve it of difficulties that
are never ending?-Nym Crinkle in New

A number of peopl. went to Monterey

were delegations of Native Sons, Pho.
neers and members of the Young Mems
institute. Mrs. Stanford did not 20
down. The monument is the gift Of Mrs.
Stanford, as q tribute to the memory Of
Father Junipero Sierra, the founder Of
the California missions. 1t has been
erected on n hill near the old wooden
cross that marks the presumed spot
where the padre first landed. The mon.
ument is of granite, and represents
Father Sierra standing by the PROV of a
small boat, from which he has apparent
ly just landed.
Father Sierra wa born in the island Of
Majorca, Nov. "a, 1918. and was edu-
Gated in the school of the Franciscan
Fathers at San Bernardino, where even
at an early age he was remarkable for
his piety and zeal in all religious duties.
He took high rank as a scholar, and all
the honors and dignities of the church
were open to him, but he preferred the
life of a missionary, and in 1749 he set
sail for Mexico. In that country he
spent many years, partly as a teacher in
a Franciscan college and partly in mis-
sionary work, but in 1857 his great op-
portunity came, and he was sent out to
establish those missions which began the
civilization of California.
For fourteen years he carried on these
apostolic labors with ~tireless energy. He
died at Monterey, Aug. 20, 17s4.-San

As night approached the rain began
