Making Imitation Diamonds.

The material in which imitation dia-
monds are produced Is called strass.
from the name of its inventor. a German
jeweler who fourished at the beginning
Of the present century. II is perfectly
colorless and transparent glass. or rather
crystal. Of irreproachahle purity, corr.
posed Of rock crystal. or of white sand,
mixed with oxide of lead. arsenical acid
and other ingredients. Its preparation
demands infinite care and multitude
of precautions. to avoid the possibility
Of the slightest flaw or bubble being
introduced into the mass. from which
are then cut the false gems in the pro-
portions desired. Small or medium
sized diamonds produce a much better
effect than do large ones.
For the best forms of imitation jewel
ry they are cut by the same workmen
that are employed in executing that
function with real stones. Their task is
much easier, owing to the comparative
softness Of strass. aquality which causes
ornaments in imitation diamonds to lose
very speedily their brilliancy and their
deceptive aspect. To remedy this state
OF things imitation emeralds, rubiss and
sapphires are often set with layer or
slice cut from real precious stone of in
ferior value and cemented with trans
parent and colorless compound on the
top Of the false gem, 80 as TO cover it
completely. -Ladies' Home Journal

Great has always been the comfort
that the parents Of boys dull at their
books have had in thinking that they
would probably be particularly bright in
some other direction. If there was any
doubt about it. the fact could always be
proved by stories of artists, writers and
musicians, who have been thought dull
ards at school. But mechanical genius
and dullness at books do not, it is said,
go hand in hand. The director of large
western school of manual training says
of such cases: LAS a rule, such a boy fails
to show marked ability of any sort. A
boy who comes to us with a passion for
machinery, who cannot be kept away
from engines, the rattle of cogs and the
swapping Of belts, never gets beyond q
sort of morbid. simple curiosity to see
the wheels go round He develops no
curiosity nor the ability to do good. ac-
curate work. His book work is Of very
similar character. New York Post.

In the olden times in Japan all the dali
mics tsimilar to the old English lord) had
great sport with falco-ls. rs they went
out to the field to catcl other birds with
falcons. The falcons we're tanned well
and used TO catch large birds. mostly
cranes. When people now go out hunt
ing with falcons. the men in charge hold
the falcons upon their fingers As soon
as one sees any bird he let's the falcon
rush at the bird; as soon as the falcon
reaches the bird he bites at the throat
and throws the bird down to the ground.
Meanwhile the holder runs to the place
where they are and catches both of them
Falcons are not large birds, but as they
belong to the eagle family they are
strong and brave and never afraid to go
at any bird to kill it. but the men in
charge Of falcons OF course take great
care in feeding and tanning them. Chi.

How Widow Made Use of What She
Heard Railroad Directors Say.
A few years ago a widow and her
daughter were occupying section in n
Pullman sleeper on the Missouri Pacific
railroad. The section next to this lady
happened to be occupied by a couple Of
the directors of that railroad. The par
tition between the two sections was so
thin tina: it was not difficult for con-
versation carried on in one section to be
beard in the other. The lady traveller
heard the two directors discussing plan
of consolidation whereby the stock of the
Missouri Pacific was bound TO be greatly
enhanced in value.
1t was then worth but or cents on
the dollar. She was ON her return trip
to her home in Hartford. The CONVEX
sation Of the two directors preyed on her
mind. She revolved it over and over
again until her home was reached, about
which time $1,000 note due her was re-
deemed. She sent for her attorney. de-
tailed to him the conversation she had
heard and said she was almost resolved
to invest the 5000 in Missouri Pacific.
The attorney, installing her announced
resolution for irony, laughed. but the
woman of wealth persisted.
ut is but 81, 000." she said, land IL ]
lose shall have just as much to eat as
have always had and just AZ much to
wear. II the plans betrayed by these
two directors work out. shall make a
good deal Of money buying Missouri Pa
cifc."
The attorney obeyed the instructions
of his client. invested the s. 900, and in
less than a month the proposed consOli-
dation was consummated. and the Hart
ford widow realized for her s. 600 invest
ment $3.50, 900. At the first blush this in.
cident is set down as proof of luck.
1t was simply an unexpected exhibit
ton of what in Wall street vernacular is
termed nerve" on the part Of a quick
cared and quicker witted woman. Not
one person in 10000 would have given
any heed to the conversation referred to-
and not one of thousand who might
have heard and needed and who hap
pened to have the money, as the widow
had it, would have dared invest It,
These incidents and illustrations might
be expanded until volumes were filed.
The evidence would be cumulative tina,

and subsequent growth may, perhaps, be
acceptable.
North Yakima is the offspring OF the
old town OF Yakima City, four miles south
OF the present and future metropolis Of
the Yakima. The date Of its founding
carries us back to the winter OF lsS4-s5,
and the entrance OF the Northern Pacific
railroad into the Yakima valley. Previous
to that time, the spot on which now
stands the most talked-of and fIourishing
young city in the state was barren waste
of sage brush. immediately, however, on

ting OF the town OF North Yakima. nearly
the whole population OF the old place
moved hither, bringing with them their
belongings, even the buildings were re-
mo'ed entire, and in a day, almost, the
town sprspg into being, since then, it has
steadily sdv~aced; it is true the city has
had times OF depression, but the courage
OF its citizens did not flag; many propo-
sitions for its advancement have failed.
but its people, eaterprising. energetic,
patriotic, have grasped anew tue traces,
and pulling all together, have brought 1t
to its present enviable and prosper
ous condition, and, furthermore, the men
who have formed the vanguard in years
now past are yet to the fore; they reali re

iabors. are determined that advancement
OF the city OF their adoption shall not stop
here, but shall continue until its fame
for progress, prosperity and substantial,
AS well as rapid growth, shall be more
than local with the northwest; and who
can doubt that, with the bright promise
the future holds ont, and the whole-souled
energy ever displayed by North Yskina's

"Address as Above"

There is one lawyer in the city who
will never again make use Of Latin
phrases in writing business letters. A
short time ago he had to write letter to
a client in a neighboring city regarding
an important lawsuit that was to come
up before the court in the course of Q
few days. The information he solicited
was highly essential to his case. In writ
ing this epistle he made use of letter
head with his printed address at the top.
In closing his letter he signed himself
thus: John Langdon. Address ut supra. :"
After waiting several days for the re-
ply. which did not come. he again wrote
his procrastinating client and asked why
he had not sooner answered his first let
ter. The next day he received reply In
which the client said that he had an
swered the letter and addressed !: q

Alcohol as o Food.

And now O word about alcohol. OF
all the substances that enter into the
dietary Of man that are used for stimula-
ton. to check waste and promote repair,
none is superior to alcohol. SO great is
its reconstructive power that strictly
speaking 1t must be classed as a food.
Whenever the powers of life are waning,
be the cause whatever it may, alcohol
ranks first among remedies to check il.
Like opium. it is good II properly used
and baneful if abused. II is scarcely
necessary to say much for or against al
sohol. 1t is too well known to all of us
70 need much comment. and shall con-
fne myself to speaking of its use medic
inally by those who never tasted it be-
fore a physician prescribed it for some
disease.
Alcohol is unquestionably par excel
lence n food adjunct in the severe forms
Of fever where nutriment is urgently re-
quired to keep up life, but where the di-
gestive organs have lost their assimila-
tive function.
Here, as long as the actual waste is
compensated for. alcohol does good. Be-
yond that 1t Is worse than useless. I'm
fortunately such restricted dosage does
not satisfy the careless doctor of easy
conscience. He gives it by the oft re-
peated tablespoonfuls without stopping
to discover that the result wished for has
been attained IN the slower. fuller pulse
and stronger heart.
Hundreds and hundreds of men and
women in all walks of society contracted
their tipping habit by regarding as un-
restricted the advice Of their physicians
that wine or stimulants Of some kind are
necessary for them to take. The advice
in itself is justifable. but the lack of re-
striction is culpable. And SO these poor,
deluded convalescents go on taking slim
ulants. which they find not only agreea-
BILE, but desirable, until they become
slaves to drink.-New York Herald.
