There Are Various Methods.

Several methods of distinguishing
precious stones from their limitations are
commonly employed. One well-known
method is by means of the tongue. On
touching the precious stone to the
tongue the gem is very much colder
than its imitation. But this test is far
from reliable, as limitations made Of
quartz are as cold as any precious
stone. The diamond and garnet alone
excepted, all precious stones are dis
tinguished from their limitations by
having double instead of single re-
fraction; that is to say, by giving a
double instead of single image of a
candle flame. Even when the gem is
in setting, it is comparatively easy to
ascertain the fact of double or single
refraction by looking down into its
facets aud ascertaining whether an
image is single or double. There is an
instrument, called the lithoscope, which
In difficult cases, is employed to deter
mine the question, and does its work
with infallible certainty. Persons ac-
customed to handle precious stones,
however, need neither test nor instru-
ment, but rely on the eye, and are
rarely deceived. Like bank clerks who
feel that note is not right, though at
first they may not be able to point out
the difference between the genuine an d
the counterfeit, experts in gems detect
the spurious at q glance.

The people who have sometimes ut
tered the very unsafe generalization
that women have no sense of humor"
must be unacquanted with the genuine
American girl. whose gift for sort of
humor which almost seems to be the
peculiar property of this country-com-
ical comparisons and odd exaggerations
is beyond doubt very great. A GER
tain young New York girl of Is is we'll
known to her friends to possess this
sense of humor. Of particularly
naughty and repellant woman she re-
marked: "She steps as if the ground
were not good enough for her to walk
on, and therefore she always wears rub
bersl"
She said of a young man who had not
much liking for hard work, but who
complained that he could find nothing
to do: "That's why he wears glasses !;
he has worn out his eyes looking for
something nice to do"
She remarked one day of particu-
larly dishevelled specimen of a Skye
terrier, Dixie, you are the most ravelled
little dog; you must have been woven
without any selvage!"
"spruced up" she said that nothing
held it together but the paint"
She advised q young man, who was
excessively proud of his bass singing,
who had sung a very low note, to "let
another tuck out of his voice."
There was humor, as well as pathos,
in her remark of forlorn and very thin
old horse:
"Poor thing! 1t looks as if it had
been pastured for twenty years on a
plowed field"
1t was Western girl who, is visiting
an Eastern acquaintance who was very
proud of her descent, and who showed
her first one and then another precious
possession which was ancestral" ex-
claimed pensively:
Dear mel L haven't so much as an
old white hat to prove that ever had a

Another girl, who was student at a
school of technology. and who happened
to be extremely slender, furnished a
chemical analysis" of herself, which,
after enumerating several articles of
clothing in the style of chemical in
gradients, ended with the item:
"Of girl. a trace"
This kind of humor is very different
from the biting wit which used 10 be re-
corded of the famous women of Eu-
ropean drawing-rooms.
On one occasion, it is said, vain an
foppish young Scotch nobleman, in
Lady Blessington's drawing room, was
talking about his countrymen, when
some one asked him why it was that all
the Scotchmen abroad seemed to be in
tellectually superior men.

"we keep well-qualifed watchmen at

Almost hidden in one of the inside
pages of the new Army Register is rec
ognition by the President of an act of
heroism performed years ago by a pri-
vate named James Bell, who is now
messenger at army headquarters at
Chicago. In 1876 Bell was private
with Gen. Terry on the Big Horn
River during the war against the Sioux.
A detachment of troops under Gen.
Crook was at Powder River ard
many leagues distant. 1t was impera-
tive that Gen. Crook be given dis
patches vital to the interests of this
command; but the country swarmed
with the hostile Sioux and the scouts
under Gen. Terry's command said that
an attempt to communicate with Gen.
Crook would result in the death of the
messenger and loss of the dispatches,
and that the undertaking would be
hopeless. So the project was given up;
but Bell heard of his commanders
wishes and he volunteered to accom-
plish the dangerous task His offer was
accepted and he accomplished his mis-
sion safely, although he had many mar
row escapes. The result OF his journey
was that Gen. Crooks men surprised o
force of Sioux and routed them. AS a
reward for his bravery Private Bell

A BoNELESS CHILD.
A Curious Freak of Nature in
Georgia.

The Athens Ca Banner has curious
story to tell concerning a child that is
eleven years old and hasn't bone in it's
body. 1t says:
"There is in the State of Georgia to-
day child eleven years old but very
little larger than when it was born, and
without bone in its entire body.
"a citizen of Athens tells us this, and
he is gentleman of undoubted veracity.
The names of the parents and the place
where they reside are not given, as they
are sensitive upon the subject.
"This curious freak of nature is sug-
gested ut present by story going the
rounds of the press concerning woman
in New York gradually becoming ossi-
lied. She noticed the ends of her fingers
becoming stiffened, and one day knocked
one of her fingers against table and
broke off the end joint. 1t was a solid
bone and very brittle. Her nose and
feet are now turning to bone.
"On the other hand, here is human
being without bone in its body. If the
former is curiosity, what must be this
latter?
"The child in question was born with
out any bones in its body, and has lived
until now it is eleven years old 1t has
never grown to any apprecablc size, and
although eleven years old, is not much
larger than it was when born. 1t has
never talked, and consequently takes no
notice of its surroundings.
Necessarily it is hard thing to keep
it alive, but its parents are very devoted
to it, and some one stays by it constant
ly to feed it on milk and water. 1t is
necessary to give it milk or water al
most every fifteen minutes.
"Strange to say, the mother is more
devoted to it than any of her other chill
dren, and says she would rather give
any of them up than this one. If this
child were to die, she says, it would land
her in the asylum"
"For years and years she has sat by
its bedside and her mind has been so
constantly upon it that she would go
crazy if taken from her
"The child gives no evidence of ever
growing any larger than it is now.
This is vouched for as the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
and the gentleman who told this knows
the name of the parents and where they
li~e."

In an interview recently published, a
wire manufacturer made the following
statement: "We are at work Just now
on some pretty small wire. 1t is 1900
of an inch in diameter finer than the
hair on your head, great deal. Ordi-
narily fine wire is drawn through steel
plates, but that wouldn't do for this
work, because if the hole wore away
ever SO little it would make the wire
larger, and this would spoil the job.
Instead, it is drawn through what is
practically n hole in diamond, to
which there is, of course, no wear.
These diamond plates are made by q
woman in New York, who has monop-
oily of the art in this country. The wire
is then run through machinery, which
winds it spirally with layer of silk
thread that is .0015 of an inch in thick
ness-even finer than the wire, you
see. This wire is used in making the
receivements of ocean cables, the gal
vanometers used in testing cables and
measuring insulation of covered wires.
