Chsmbord was the grandson of Charles
X. the last Bourbon king of France, and
the French Royalists called him Henri
Y, and hoped, until his death. in 1883, to
restore him TO the throne. The mar
quis, of whom this story is told, was a
Partisan, man Of fashion and an ar
dent Royalist. The Connie de Chambord
was glad Of an opportunity to talk over
political affairs with a man who must
know what was going on In Paris; so
after few minutes chat he said: Mar
quis, it is not often that have chance

Since solutions IF aniline dyes possess
the property of imparting TO genuine
jewels as well as glass paste deep,
rich color if left long enough immersed
in them, and since they possess also the
property of imparting precisely the char
acteristic color of a genuine jewel, the
swindler has it not only in his power to
dye cut glass paste, but also inferior cut
gems. of the color of ruby, an emerald
or sapphire. since fuchsine is the hand
soonest ruby red shade. while bleu de
Paris initiates absolutely that of the
sapphire, and aniline green that of the
emerald.
Such a fraud, however, can be made
still more complicated by using genuine
off colored rubies, sapphires or emeralds
and dyeing them with the correspond
ingly aniline dyes, thereby raising their
value tenfold. 1t is exceedingly diff
cult to recognize this fraud. because the
color of such well corroded jewel can
no longer be washed off, even with hot
water. Only the bleaching power of
sunlight might after a time assist in re-
vealing the swindle.-Jewelers' Circu-

Wade Hampton never smoked cigars
in a rational way like the rest of man
kind. Instead, he took the cigars as he
bought them and crushed them TO pow

made use of the fragments as the old

thrown away, and in the military COM

an occupant. there was always pile of
cigar shsyings on the floor beside his
