TESTING DIAMONDS.
The Inexperienced EIay Tell tho Real
From the Imitation Gem.

The Inexperienced May Tell the Real
From the Imitation Gem.
Ample testimony has recently appeared
in scientific papers confrmatory of the fact
that the hardness Of diamonds Is not per-
cepubly reduced by cutting and polishing.
One correspondent states that in his early
experience he was accustomed to select a
gem with smoothly glazed surface, and
after the stone was split in a cleavage plane
inclined at a rather sharp angle 10 the
natural face selected, this split face being
ground and polished. In this way he was
enabled to obtain at several points short
knife edges, which gave superb results in
ruling.
1t was soon found. however. that after
ruling several thousand rather heavy lines
the diamond was liable to lose its sharp
cutting edge, and the experience became
so frequent that he wa scompelled to resort
tn the method now employed, that of grind
ing and polishing both faces to knife edge.
lie has one ruling diamond prepared in this
way which has been In constant use for four
years, and its capacity for good work has
not yet been reduced In the slightest de-
gree.
&. +. Kunz, who took part In the dIscus-
sion on this subject mentioned incidentally
that there is no difficulty In even the
most inexperienced person distinguish
ing the real from the Imitation diamond
III the stone scratches sapphire il Is with
out doubt diamond, whereas putting the
gem into a flame would not differentiaIe the
diamond from the white topaz, or the white
zircon or the white sapphire or the white
tourmallne, or any other white stone that is
not fusible. But the absolute and most
simple test for diamonds is to draw the
stone sharply over a piece of unpainted
board IN dark room. Every diamond

European fruit shipping scheme, has q
cable dispatch which gives evidence that
Queen Victoria has sent her acknowledge
ment of the receipt of a box Of selected
fruit grown on the ranch of A. T. Hatch
in Suisun, and that her royal highness has
found it extremely palatable. The dispatch
also saws that owing to heavy storms pre-
yailing on the British coast the Teutonic

fruit nevertheless, was in excellent con-
ditiOn.
Great crowds attended the sale and the

moments more OF vigorous rubbing he dis

TWO ANCIERT ROMAN AUTHORS.
MedalIioBs Of Horstfus and Virgil Lately
Gnearthed in Pompefi.
Manchester Guardian

Cnsarthed in Pompefi.
Manchester Guardian.
Lovers az literature viii be interested ia
the recent discovery in a small house Of the
buried city Of Pompeii OF two medalions
representing respectively Horace and Vir-
gil. Tho death of Horace occurred eight
years before the Christian era and that of
Virgil 10 years earlier. while the date Of the
destruction OF Pompeil by the eruption Of
VesuYius is A. ID. 70.
Hence the portraits are not contemporary,
though they cannot bs placed very long
after the age OF the poets. But although
they are in that respect only fancy portraits,
NJ. CASTOR BOLSTER has pointed out 10 the
French Academic des Inscriptions that they
have distinct resemblance 10 the min
iatures Of Horace and Virgil given In the
manuscripts Of the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries. The PompeIian medalIions are
only Of very mediocre character when re-
garded solely from an artistic standpoint
This very fact strengthens the idea Of a
continuous artistic tradition as to the bodily
presentment OF the two poets. The Pom
peiian artist and the monastie scribe could
have had no direct connection, but they
may easily have derived their figures from
common source.
Another point of interest is to see the
popular criticism within less than a CEN
tnry after their death, linking together
Horace and Virgil. How enduring their
tame is MAJ be realized if we remember that
now, after the lapse of 10 centuries. they
have more readers and admirers than at any
preceding period. 1t is TO be feared that
few OF the literary regulations of modern
ages will withstand so successfully "the
cankeTed tooth of Time"

Cultivation of Beauty.

When we get women to think as much
about the Development of their bodies and
the proper food with which to build them
up as they do now of their bonnets and
dresses" says Dr. Kate Lindsay, "then we
viii have race Of strong women, with per-
feet forms, equal TO motherhood and every
other duty which may fall to them in life.
Instead of making an effort to cultivate the
muscles Of their bodies the majority of them
deliberately go to work by improper and ILL.,
adjusted dress TO destroy the large muscles
which hold the body erect They are
anxious to have a good form and the desire
is legitimate enough If they took the right
way 10 secure this end. 1t can only be
secured by symmetrical physical develop
ment-never by iactng themselves into
stiff, unwieldy, deforming molds called cor
sets. Not only a woman's health, but the
welfare Of the generations to come depends
largely upon the quality OF a woman's mus
Guitar development. A child who lnberits a
weak muscular frame will always be at
disadvantage through the bad inheritance"

The Word "Like.D

DIR. Fitzedward Hall, the English philolo.
gist, has added to his other sound articles
on the correct usage Of the mother tongue a
brief essay on the use of like" as a con-
junction. This odd usage OF the word IS
most frequent among Southerners and
much reproaeh has been cast on them
therefor. but DIR. Hall. whose wide and &C.
curaie knowledge of the English language
Mr.. Richard Grant White was once made
TO respect, traces 1t back to eminently re-
spectacle sources In the classic wells of
English undefiled, etc. The array of pre-
cedents DIR. Hall establishes is interesting.
but whether they are TO be accepted as con-
elusive Is another matter, as precedents can
be found for everything, even for the assas-
siDation of a President. The language we
speak to-day is not Chaucer's or Wiclifs,
and like" as people south of Mason and
Dixcn's line use it will still seem to many
minds barbarism of speech.
