SPECIMEN STONES.
Gems OF the Utmost Perfection and Very
Rare and Precious.

Gems OF the Utmost Perfection and Very
Rare and Precious.
Before the existence of specimen
stones" becomes. through the drain of
them to America, thing of the past
for us, it may be well TO say few
words about things which very few
persons have ever seen and hencefor-
ward have little chance of seeing. The
word specimen stones" explains that
it is gem OF the utmost perfection,
but few know how rare and precious it
is and how little it differs to the eye OF
any but an expert from an ordinary
example Of this kind. Specimen stones
are masculine luxuries. They are never
set. because even the most delicate
setting might hide defects which would
make them comparatively valueleSs.
The desire TO possess them con-
stitutes the last inirmity of noble
men, for not only are they the most
concentrated possible form of property.
but the appreciation of them is a most
exclusive form of culture. 1t may seem
strange. but it is true, that there are
probably not fifty persons in England
who can tell diamond worth hun
dred pounds carat from one worth
five and twenty; and of these fifty not
dozen are jewellers. The trade in
specimen stones is wholly in the hands
of four or five great firms, and minor
dealers, who have no custom for this
class OF gems, know almost as little
about them as the laity. 1t takes years
of practice. with such rarity of OPP
portunity as the market affords, to
train the eye to recognize exactly the
orthodox color OF ruby, emerald or
sapphire, and to distinguish brilliant
of the purest water from an ordinary
fine stone" demands delicacy OF
vision which most persons could never
acquire.
Stones may be divided into four dis
tinct classes. Poor stones. obviously
bad in color and full of Clouds"
flaws" and feathers, may be bought
Zone marvels who buys them at COM
paratively exceedingly low prices. The
value Of two rubies of the same size,
for example, might be severally one
pound and one thousand pounds per
carat. Then come ordinary stones.
stones which 4 lady may wear without
discredit. their flaws and the poverty
of their color not being such as to be-
tray them in the wearing except to
practiced eye. Of such stones consist
E.nety-nine per cent. OF those worn by
even rich women. Fine stones" be-
ing of thrice the value, are only to be
seen on the persons of those who are
fastidious as well as rich: for though
commonly good judge can detect the
difference at once, there is too great
temptation, with most women, to put
conspicuous quantity before uncon-
spicuous quality, for the latter tc pre-.

Down near Pearl street there is
church that is ose AT the oldest in New
York, which to-day stands in evidence
to prove the adaptable of the Italian
immigrant to combine piety with Dusi-
ness. The Italian residents of Roose-
Welt street have named st. Anthony. of
Padua, as the patron saint OF their
church. and a queer enough church it
Is in a way.
You go up several steps TO get
into the church proper. You notice
that the pictures representing the sta
tons of the cross are dingy and dirty,
that the altar has a neglected appear
ance, and that the whole aspect is un-
inviting. That was the way it looked
on n recent Sunday morning. But
there was no lack of worshipers.
Swarthy men knelt beside dark-eyed
women who sat bareheaded. the morn

and casting many shades upon their
ink black hair. Fat, jolly children

four male voices, and one of these was
as sweet as the voice of an angel is said
to be.
And all the while that he mass was
being sung there was a hum as Of
voices from under the floor of the
church. When the silver throatcd
tenor sang one of those beautiful solos
there was silence profound, and when
the whole quartet joined IN the "Ncni

and found him sitting contented in
heap of rags, sorting them--for il the
church OF st. Anthony OF Padua is
church up stairs, it is in its basement
rag shop of the very first class, and the
baritone whose voice had aroused my
wondering admiration was an Italian
rag picker.
How do sing so well?" he said in
reply TO an inconsequent remark ~

There the cross-examination ended, but
the picture of the dingy old church on
the once aristocratic street did not
soon fade from my mind nor did the

notion that if all such were promptly
