How to Test Diamonds.

Put the doubtful stone into leaden or
platinum cup with some powdered fuor-
spar and little oil of vitriol. Warm the
vessel over some lighted charcoal In a
fireplace, or wherever there is a strong
draft to carry away the noxious vapors
that will arise. When these vapors cease
rising let the whole cool and then stir
the mixture with glass rod to fish out
the diamond. If you find it intact it is
a genuine stone; if false it viii be cor
roded. Paste diamonds will disappear
altogether.

Accomplished Girl Graduates from the
Cincinnati Technical school.
The Cincinnati technical school has
taken step in advance of any of the
other manual training schools of the
country. 1t permits girls to take all its
courses, even to engineering and carpen-
ter work, if they desire. At the com
mencement this summer two young la
dies received diplomas who were more
thoroughly accomplished in some ways
than any girl graduates of the season, it
is safe to say. These young women
were Lucy Mary Riggs and Julia Bedin-
ger. They were both of them bright,
spirited Kentucky maidens They not
only learned architectural and mechan-
ical drawing, but became expert in the
use of carpenters tools, and are prac-
tically familiar with the use of steam
machinery. Now l hope they will go
on and make use Of their knowledge in
some way, either as teachers, manual
workers or craftsmen

Cost Of Carriers for New York wOme,


A class Of women with whom expen-
sive and beautiful garters are fad are
the wives and daughters Of some rich and
snowy folk, and even of those not very
snowy. Counting these thousands, a
large garter dealer tells me that $50, 900
is low estimate to put to their account.
In other words, to sum the total cost Of
garters for this city for one year the
amount would not be far short Of $780,
600. Tie them all together, the cotton
and the flannel ones, the plain elastic
with the gorgeous bands, and we have a
string about 400 miles long, worth a
quarter of a million dollarsl Why, it
would support 500 families of {, 900 souls

THE GATE OF SLEEP.

Lying between the dusk and dawn Of night,
Upon the borders of the sea Of sleep,
Lo, oft there cometh tn the fading light
The break Of surges Id the eternal deep.
The soul Of me swiTns out across the space
That yawns between the pulse of life and
death;
The senses fall; the spirit seeks its place
With those that dwell beyond the gates Of
breath.
A touch, e start; the passing power is broken;
The soul Is moveless midway in its flight
The body claims it. and there Is no token
Brought ont from that haven OF the night.
II could hold the light that on me grows
When DER the brink Of sleep my spirit
speeds,
Then could voice the mystery that flows
'Twixt life and death, tween truth and hu-
man creeds.
But lol upon the sacred door Of sleep
There Is O craven law Of import high:
He who would sound the secrets OF this deep
Must lay him down in solitude TO die"

when women Did the Grinding.

While women were milling they usual
ly relieved the monotony of their work
by singing songs Of a lively and cheerful
character. Ordinarily they prepared as
much meal In the morning az would be
required for the day On this account
Hebrew members associated the noise Of
the morning mill with prosperity and
happiness. If, on the contrary, this work
was performed in the evening, they i'm

number Of cubic inches in foot-and di-
vide the product by the number Of inches

How q Prepare BIrd skeIetous

Perfect skeletons Of birds and small
animals may be obtained by placing
them singly in a wooden box, just large
enough to receive the animal fixed in
the position desired. Perforate the box
with numerous small holes and place it
on an anthilL In an incredibly short
time the ants will have performed the
required operation. They will leave the
bones beautifully polished and the joints
and sinews untouched, as they feed only
upon the flesh. In this way an excellent
miniature museum of natural history can
be formed at very little cost.

THE FASHIONS OF PARIS.


Outdoor Costumes Of the women Of the
French Capital.
Frenchwomen do not like rough and
active movement generally, and it is a
very difficult matter to engage any Of
them in tennis or croquet, but lately a
few of our young ladies, following thei1
English and American sisters, are trying
to like them, particularly when they find
that they are deserted for their more ac-
tive rivals. And even yet it pleases the
French young lady better tostand about
with her tennis costume on and racket
IN her hand than to take part.
And the French girls tennis costume
Is made more for show than real ease
and fitness. This one which is here por.
trayed is of China silk, pale green in

How q Prevent worms n pooks

There il little insect called aglossa
pinguinalis which deposits its Larvae in
books in the autumn. These produce q
mite which does great deal Of mischief.
Small wood boring beetles also cause a
good deal of destruction among the covers
and binding. The best preventive is the
use of mineral salts in the binding.
Where this is not done sprinkle the book
shelves with powdered alum and pepper
and rub the books once or twice a year
with piece Of cloth that has been stepped
in solution of alum and dried This
will effectually prevent the ravages of
the aglossa pinguinalis.

cun the Faulty ones.

For breeding animals of pure kind,
the principal rule to be observed, as laid
down by the Texas Live Stock Journal,
is to breed from the very best OF both
sexes and 10 Gull the faulty ones every
year. Year by year the finest animals
should be selected, until in the course Of
time the number will entirely consist Of
them. The great value of thoroughbreds
over those Of mixed origin for breeding
purposes has been SO clearly and truly

just below the ground, leaving beans
