little early. Poor old Hicks, says one,
thinks he can play Hamlet! Why, he
isn't up to melodrama.' That's so, says
the other. Il saw him do a serious part
once, and it was the funniest thing of
the season. Well, / must get to the
theater. Good night. Old man. The
one who was left at the table gave him
good night, and as he watched him re-
ceding down the room he folded his arms
across his breast and soliloquizel: Poor
old Fitz! Thinks he can play Iago. The
audacity of that man is sublime

To clean pearls properly requires some
care and considerable patience, but to
clean diamonds properly does not re-
quire as much. Many who endeavor to
clean the diamonds without taking them
to a lapidary find when they are through
that their effort has not been success
and that the diamonds are. though pos
sibly cleaner. yet even less brilliant than
before. They may be thoroughly cleaned
and the original brilhancy retained IN
the following manner: Take cup Of
warm water with q few drops OF am
monia in it; use little soap with soft
brush (an old toothbrush viii do and
clean thoroughly; after cleaning rinse in
clean hot water and dry them. II con-
eenient it will be more satisfactory to
drop them into a little jewelers. sawdust
after rinsing and permit them to dry in
that way. whereupon they will be found
to possess al their original brilliancy.
This method also cleans the gold setting.
