ly examined twice a year." is the advice
given by a jewcler. The constant friction
wears out the tiny gold points that hold
the stones in place, and unless strict atten-
ton is paid to them they become loose in
u very short time. Small purses of suede
leather are made or purpose for rings, or
any soft pouch of skin Or channels may be
used to place the rings in when desiring to
carry them around with one. They should
never be put into the ordinary pocketbook,
as the rubbing against coins is also bad
for them. Diamonds can be cleaned at

They should be thoroughly cleaned in al

Pine sawdust is too oily for this purpose.

COST OF LIVING IN PARIS.


Among the meats, plain boiled beef, dry
and without gravy, costs 9 cents. When
carnished with a vegetable, its price Is s
cents. Here there Is q curious manipula-
ton Of prices. The ''garniture" Of meats
with vegetables costs but little extra, while
the vegetables served by themselves are
rather dear. Thus peas are IL cents aplate,
but plain boiled beef garnished with peas
costs only 3 cents more than plain boiled
beef alone. To eat cheaply is therefore to
order garnished meats and avoid plates OF
vegetables sold separately. Thisisno great
secret, and nothing Is gained by It except
in the line Of economy. The vegetables
used for garniture are inferior In freshness
or flavor. although they arc perfectly good.
The French, even in their expensive res
%taurants, have no proper idea of roast
meats. Mutton of a cut called "gigot" ia
pretended to be roasted and comes on
tough and bleeding. Beef, On the other
hand, is frequently cooked so long that it
is as dry as dust. Roast lamb n yea! arc
served underdore and sprawling Imply in
a watery gravy, with water cress around
the edge of the dish, as If that could make
up for it. When roast meats are stuffed, 1t
is never with plain bread crumbs and
herbs. There must be chopped ham, force
meat. chopped mushrooms and grated
cheese, all mixed together.
A small broiled chop costs in these res
taurants II cents. They are thought to be
expensive and small for the price. Eng
lish tourists registered ut the Grand hotel

How d Mine Was Found.

Frederick M. Endlich, of Los Angeles,
CAL, is at the Grand Pacific, says the
Chicago Tribune. Mr.. Endlich is erect
ing extensive smelling works in South
ern California to treat the ores of South
ern Nevada, Southern California, and
Sonora, ON the west coast of Mexico.
He tells romantic story OF the Tonto
range OF mountains in the western part
Of Arizona, made famous about twenty
years ago by the Tonic Apache Indians
of that region using gold bullets in their
guns. The new railroad nearly COM
peted across these mountains from
Prescott to Phoenix passes through
canons known to be rich in gold, yet no
white man has ever been able to dis
cover it.
Some years ago Surgeon Brayton, Of
the United States army, was captured
by the Tonic Apaches during an en-
gagement with troops rom Fort Yuma.
He was taken several miles into the
Tonic Mountain range and held a pris-
oner in a secluded camp. At that time
several of the tribe were sick from ma

laria and other causes, and from his
knowledge of their ailments he effected
many cures. These acts were looked
upon with gratitude by his captors, and
after a few DAYS he was taken to deep
ravine, through which a small stream
of water was running, and allowed
to work the auriferous gravel for
gold. He was rewarded by finding
coarse gold 80 plentiful that in few
washings he filled his pockets with mug
gets. knowing that several bullets cut
from wounded soldiers were found to
be gold, and that they were at the
Smithsonian Institution at Washington,
he was aware that he stood upon the
ground that produced these precious
messengers of death. The sides OF the
canon rose sheer up hundreds OF feet,
and he was unable to accurately locate
the spot, though he could see IN the
distance the crest Of huge peak known
as Weaver's Needle.
Soon after Surgeon Brayton escaped,
and after many hardships reached Fort
Yuma, where be exhibited the golden
nuggets and described the great treas
ure hidden in the Tonic range. The
occurrence caused intense excitement,
and several unsuccessful expeditions
explored the region, headed by Surgeon
Brayton, who, strange to say, could not
locate the diggings. 1t was always sup
posed that this gold came from the
Adams region, but this was disproved
during the last year.
The theory now advanced is that the
treasure lies south of the San Juan
region, st present creating so much ex-
element; and an expedition has en-
tered the Tonic Mountains from the
north, taking as it's guide the continu-
alton southwark from the San Juan dis
trict. 1t is conceded by old miners that
if the country of golden bullets is
discovered it will develop one Of the
greatest placer districts ever opened In

A Picked Hand as a Present.

Miss Estelle Robinson, an attractive
young lady, who resides with married
sister here, is seriously i'll with nervous
Mysteries caused by the receipt by mail
of CHASTITY holiday gift, human hand
perfectly embalmed and having on it's
third finger broad band of gold, the
removal of which Miss Robinson pro-
hibits. The hand, which is in an ad-
mirable state of preservation, looking
as If it had just been severed from the
arm, is evidently that Of man, and is
sinewy and shapelv, and would really

manner of returning the gift to her.
He was living in New York a year or

are unknown to her. The ring she
gave him had an inscription on the in
side. but the lady declines to reveal

Typewriter Cipher.

A curious suggestion in regard to GER
tain possible uses of the typewriter is
made by M. Erve, in LIE Genie Civil. 1t
is we'll known that a iavorite form of
cipher-writing consists in substituting
certain letters for others, each party to
the correspondence having the key by
which he can place the substituted ones
by those intended to be read.
NJ. Erve points out that secret cor
respon0ence of this sort can be carried
on very readily by means of any type
writer. All that is necessary is to trans
pose types on the typebars, SO that, for
example, touching the key marked A
will print G, B will print Il, and so on.
After one instrument has been so trans
posed, the other is to be corresponding
lv rearranged so that the key { will
print A, the key r, will print B, and SO
on. Then X, the correspondent, at one
end OF the line, on receiving cipher
dispatch from the other, Y has only 10
copy it on his typewriter.
The machine retransposing the letters
automatically will at once give an ac-
curate translation, while Ms reply,
written on the same typewriter which
translated US original dispatch, will
form an unintelligible string of lie tiers,
which, by copying on Us typewriter,
will be in its turn translated.
A cipher correspondence of this kind
has an advantage over the ordinary
SORT in that the two parties use differ
emit, although reciprocal ciphers, and q
comparison of dispatches captured from
each will give little clue to the meaning
Of either. Moreover, 1t would not be
very difficult with some typewriters,
which have two space keys, to make the
b onSr1 To hot
document would be an uninterrupted
string of letters.
Such writing IS very difficult to de-
cipher from the impossibility Of telling
where the words begin or end: the cor
espOndlng instrument by mere copying
would translate it perfectly.
Another use Of the typewriter which
NJ. Erye suggests is an instrument for
shorthand writing. Most stenograph-
ers, in addition to the characters for
sound, employ large number of abbre-
viations and signs, usually Of their own
devising, which no one but themselves
can understand. Hence it comes that
stenographers cannot read anyone
else's writing but their own, and occa-
sionally fail to read that when their use
of authorizations has been too liberal.
M. Erve says, very truly, that char
acters Indicating sounds with sufficient
accuracy can readily be found in the
typewriter alphabet, while a code of
authorizations might easily be agreed
upon among stenographers. With such
q phonetic system Of using the charac-
ters, and reasonable number of a5bre-
viations, it would be easy to write 400
words minute on a typewriter, which
would be fast enough for the most rapid
speaker, while the stenographic writing
would have the great advantage of being
iegible to any other stenographer be-
sides the one who wrote it.

Highly Trained TadpOles.

Horace Horton has reached the height
Of success in the way Of bringing frogs
under his persuasive control. He is a
wealthy invalid, and derives great
pleasure from teaching his pets. The
correspondent of the Philadelphia Rec
ord visited him the other day and wit
messed his unique frog circus. Gazing
down into the artificial lake he saw
ocean shells scattered over the bottom
and wondered what they were for.
Mr.. Horton gave a shrill whistle, and
simultaneously from every shell hoped
out big frog, who kicked itself to the
surface of the water. All jumped to
the smooth bank and setstaring at their
master. Attention =" shouted Mr..
Horton, and every leg was drawn close
to the BODY and the action was taken.
Form in line" came next, and the
well-traIned amphlbians formed in four
lines, with an old giant at their head,
who, Mr. Horton said. weighed 6
pounds and Z ounces. He was enor-
nous and looked as though he had
dined on his weaker brethren for gen.
erations.
At the word of command they per-
formed all kinds of evolutions, every
leg kicking in perfect unison. Their
Der and variety, and one might well be-
heVe Mr.. Horizons statement that it
took him over ten years to get this
select company into such perfect dis
cipline. Races were held after the
drill, and then followed jumping con-
test. At a given signal each frog in
turn leaped into the water and disap
peared.
'What you have seen my frogs do so
far is very wonderful" said Mr.. Hor-
ton, "but their chief accomplishment
you have not seen, or heard, | should
say. 1t is the wonder of everyone, and
people nave come miles to witness it,
Wait till dusk and then I will have
them perform" At last dusk came,
and Mr.. Horton took the reporter out
to the waters edge and gave him seat.
He then brought out miniature mus1-
clans stand, and placed it near the
edge of the little lake. At signal note
the frogs came to the surface of the
water, and jumped into the stand.
They formed circle, and at the word
of command began to sing tune Each
frog had been selected because Of his
fine croak, and there was perfect scale
among the voices. The largest frog
sang the deepest bass, and little fell
low, almost a tadpOle, sang a shriil So
prano.
1t was wonderful. Mr. Horton said
that during the warm months their
voices were clearer and sWeeter than at
this time of the year. When the frogs
began to show signs Of WEAKNESS their
master gave the signal to stop, and ali
sought their homes at the bottom Of the
lake. Mr.. Horton tells many stories of
the intelligence OF his pets.
