GIIDboartI Love.

An Englshman, who once travelled on
foot through Norway, says that he was
much attracted by the tameness OF the
horses and cows which he saw feeding
along the roadside. II indicated kindly
disposition on the part of the people, he
thought, but he adds:
In my original notes find long para
graph overiowing with sentimental ten
derness relative to these afiectionate cows,
that followed and overwhelmed me VITA
their loving licks; but | do not transcrlbe
it. as upon further reflection il is evident
th;.S the licking was mere cupboard love.
All cattle in inland, and especially in
mountainous, districts have strong crav-
ing for salt, and these cows were merely
licking the deposits from the sea spray
that had falling on my clothes during the
recent voyage.
This discovery was notifying TO my
feelings. Man wishes TO be loved for him
self alone. and the spontaneous manifesta-
tions OF these pastoral. unsophsticated
cows seemed to respond to the hearts fond
yearnings But, alasl even the cows OF
Surrendsl were liking me for the salt
carried.

Toward nightfall as the light grows
scarce and dim, the pupil OF the eye in
creases to its greatest size so as to catch
and absorb all the rays it possibly can.
Thus cats eye will grow large at dusk,
and those Of the night loving owl are so
made as to produce greater convergence
OF the rays of light, so that in faint light
it can distinguish objects closer. 1t is as
great "A mistake TO suppose that cats can
see in the dark, where no light is, as ii is
to suppose that under the influence of pas
sion or excitement mans eyes have the
power of emitting light. 1t is impossible,
as has been proved beyound doubt by
many experiments in utter darkness. True,
cats eyes have wonderful brilliancy,
but that is due to a carpet Of glittering
fibers" called the tapetum.
Ii may be to some extent in virtue of
this glitter that they possess their alleged
power Of fascinating small birds and other
creatures. though we certainly need not
suppose that the terror and inability to
move evinced by the victim are due to the
power OF the eye alone. Fear Of the ap-
proaching monster, which instinct tells
them is hostile 10 their life. Is fully as para
lying as any eyeglitter.-Chambers' Jour

secrets from the Confessional.

A joiner being ordered to execute some
repairs in confessional which stood in
the Church OF St. Roch, took the oppor
tuuity TO insert in the woodwork a micro
phone, which he connected by means OF
couple of wires with telephone receiver
placed in m out of the way corner of the
church, where the man concealed himself
when people went to confession. In this
way he overheard good many secrets,
which he turned TO account by extorting
hush money from the poor penitents. The
priest was at first suspected of having be
trayed the secrets of the confessional. but
after awhile the truth came out and the
culprit was apprehended and sent to jail

A New York Jeweler Dscourses About
Tray of Precious Gems.

A New York Jeweler Discourses About
q Tray of Precious Gems.
In the blg snow window of jewelry
store rested last week a small tray that
gathered crowd of curious spectators to
the window. Every time the sunlight
played upon the plate glass the tray cor
uscated with prismatic hues of dazzling
brillancy. The tray is well known to the
trade. 1t is designed to display the re-
markable variations of the color of large
African mine diamonds. and contains ex-
amples of all the colors known. 1t pos
sesses great interest for novices in gems,
and the jeweler is called upon half dozen
times day TO explain the beauties of the
specimens.
st took long time to get this collec-
tion together" the jeweler said, land it is
the only one in the town of the kind thus
arranged. You see here the brown dia
mond, the absinthe, the canary or yellow
the gem, the pink, the rose and the coffee
and the green diamond. The effect of these
combinations in the sunlight is enhancing
Each predominant hue seems to impart a
distinct luster to the prismatic scintilla-
tions. When the tray is swung to and fro
in the sunbeams, it gives forth, as you see,
gems also illustrate different cuttings Of
the diamonds. Were they all set in a
bracelet, or a brooch, or n necklace. they
would make rarely beautiful trinket, but
it would cost heap of money"
The jeweler picked out one sparkler with
a pair of diamond tweezers and held it for
ward in the show window.
"This is a Brazilian gen." he said, ''like
which tbara 10 Nm ~ one Cf bpr In fba world
in Paris, and the French one is not as pure
or as large as this. This is what is called
a black diamond, and is valued at 81 $500
1t weighs IA trifle less than four carats. Its
beauty lies in the fact that it changes its
color in different lights. In this strong
sunlight you see it is almost black. 1t gives
forth a prismatic radiance greater than
that emitted by the best of the black gems.
In gaslight, you observe, the black hue be-
comes a rich golden brown, and the play Of
colors is changed too. Diamonds of this
sort are regarded by the superstitious mi.
ners as gold stones, that is, gems possess
ing power of imparting good luck TO the
owner in the search for hidden gold. This
stone was secured in Paris, whittier it was
brought in rough for cutting by a Rio ia.

there is difference of sex in gems. This
is what is called the female, a multiplying

He held the gem under a strong magni
flying glass and pointed to four or five
smaller diamonds clustered about one OF
the facets at tbc edge of the table of the
stone. THE male gen." the jeweler said,
lis sharp pointed and never gathers these
embryo gems. There is fine specimen

most people who see those specimens to be
