A favorite amusement with the United
States army officers ON the Rio Grande is
the Mexican cock fight Every Mexican
village has its cock pit, and officers on a
few hours leave cross the river to see the
fun. There are no better cockfighters in
the world than the Mexicans, and as pub
lie opinion sanctions the sport the enjoy
men of everybody is altogether frank.
The acme of the sport is reached when
the apparently vanquished bird, after
having been completely buried in the dust
of the arena to stanch his blood, suddenly
rises as if from the grave, and with one
blow from the spur Stays his astonished
rival in the act of Growing over his sup
posed victory .-San Francisco Chronicle.

At the last drawing room of Queen Vic
toria there was a carnival Of jewels One
reckless woman, the Marchioness Of Tweed
dale, was arrayed in white skirt whose
many seams were outlined with diamonds
and emeralds The Duchess of Devonshire
was blaze Of gems. and so was the Ouch
ess of Buccleugh. One lady wore long
string Of diamonds across her breast, like
an order Jeweled hooks upon which to
hang their fans were worn by many Of the
guests. Necklaces in profusion were worn,
and such was the passion for display that
these were often supplemented by a band
of velvet studded with stars. Birds, but
terhies and flowers of jewels were quite

In the olden times in Japan all the dai.
mics similar to the old English lord) had
great sport with falcons, as they went
out to the field to catch other birds with
falcons. The falcons were 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-
cago News-Record.

The material in which imitation dia-
monds are produced is called strass,
from the name of its inventor, a German
ieweler who fourished at the beginning
Of the present century. 1t is perfectly
colorless and transparent glass, or rather
crystal. of irreproachable purity, COM
posed of rock crystal, or of white sand,
mixed with oxide of lead, arsenical acid
and other ingredients. It's preparation
demands infinite care and a 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, rubies and
sapphires are often set with layer or
slice cut from a real precious stone Of in
ferior value and cemented with trans
parent and colorless compound on the
top of the false gem. so as to cover it

THE GREAT ORGAN,

ments seeming to be let loose in a magnifi-
cent storm. Then by a pressure of the
heel upon the pedal a reverse effect is pro-
duced, and the storm gradually subsidies as
one after another Of the stops is put on,
dying away in the distance as the echo or
gan in the other end of the hall takes up
the refrain, and it finally ceases altogether.
The organ is very powerful, being built
on a large and generous scale, but the use
of pneumatic tubular chests and electricity
renders it as easy to play as the best of pi-
amos. The echo organ is operated by 300
feet Of electric cable. The extreme height
of the exterior is 38 feet, and the width and
depth "a feet and 25 feet respectively.
Thereare five different pressures for the sup
ply of wind power, each of them supplied
by different electric motor The case is
built Of staff-that peculiar all embracing

Mr.. Jakes shot one glance at Mr.. Snow,
and Mr.. Snow returned it as he said
slowly:
"S'pose the fact of Wizards bein sech

"They say you can't ever tell what

brass and copper abound, but the incrusted
ware from Tanjore il as fine as anything
in the display. The metal is black alloy
of copper, lead and tin, and the articles
are shaped with a lathe. The design,
generally NEUROLOGICAL, is engraved upon it
and inlaid with silver, and the effect is re-
markedly rich.
Rare marbles and other stones are here
too. An deliberately carved shrine of col

the first things to attract attention A
miniature reproduction in alabaster of the
famous Tai Mahal is exquisitely carved,
and there are copies OF Others, less famous
perhaps, but very beautiful Lapis lazuli,
jasper and carnelian are inlaid on the mar
bic tables trays, boxes and plaques to be
seen in the gallery, and there are gods ga

typed, cross legged attitude supposed to
represent contemplation, and krishna seat
ed on the entwined bodies of his mlkmaids.
The legend relates that these maids became
enamored OF Krishna when lac visited earth
as a cowherd and insisted on Transforming
themselves into u beast OF burden for him.
Krishna seems to be a general favOrite,
and incidents of his career are illustrated
on many Of the vases, bowls and plaques so
lavishly strewn around. Ganesha, the god Of
prudence, isa close second in popularity He
is shown with the head Of an elephant and
always accompanied by a rat. Sometimes

books begin. and he is invoked at the com

Star sapphires are generally of gray

its greatest perfection when looked at by
the light of the sun or candle. The
sapphire is found of all tints and shades
of blue, but the color which approx
mates to the shade formerly called "bleu
du roi" is the most valuable. A really
fine sapphire should appear blue by arti-
fetal light as well as by day. This stone
is found in crystals generally of much
larger size than the ruby. The name
