Gus returned home very quietly, and
that afternoon was smoking his cigar
as before on the steps of the ST..
Charles the snowy ring still upon the
little finger Of his left hand. In the
! meantime the story Of that ring had
got about among half the young fell
lows in town, and came to the ears Of
Habersham, who thought he had made
an ass Of himself in selling what
proved to be a real diamond Of that
size for five hundred dollars, when the
jeweler appraised it at eight.
While we were standing as described
EIabersham came up and joined US
once more, and in few minutes
touched Gus on the shoulder, beckoned
him to one side.
See here, Mr.. Hurd, I've been
thinking over that matter Of the ring.
and I don't feel very we'll satisfied
about it. You know I told you that it
was an heirloom"
Yes I remember"
well, I'd like to get it back again."
Il have no especial desire to keep it,
whats it worth?' asked Gus.
Il cannot say without removing it
from the setting and weighing it, but
l should think about eight hundred
dollars
'"Thank you," said Gus. II will re-
member your politeness," at the same
time putting the ring on his finger
once more.
The party, with the blankest looks
turned away from the store, feeling
decidedly "flat," except our verdant
friend, Gus, to whom the stakeholder
paid over the money, and who sat
down to oysters and champagne at
the winners expense. the four vic
tins soon forgetting their losses We
had rollicking night of it, and finally
voted before we separated that Gus
was not so green latter ALL
The next day Augustus Hurd, alias
Gus Green, might have been seen en-

by a Jew dealer in diamonds, and

1T is, I assure you, and I did very
wrong to part with it," said Haber-
sham, with a great deal of earnest
ness.
"WelI, give me fifty-spot for my
trouble, and under the circumstances
I'll let you have it. But mind YOU,
Habersham, you must make it up to
me in some other way, for one doesn't
lite to give up a good bargain for
nothing"
III remember it," was the reply,
and the sharper counted out the five
hundred and fifty dollars, took the
ring and fastened away, brimfuI of
satisfaction.
Habersham never troubled Gus
Green any more, nor did we ever call
him yerdant after this very clever
experience with that mock diamond.

WEAREBRS OF GLASSES
More City Folks Wear Glasses Than
Country.

Country.
The proportion of people who ha-
bitually wear glasses of some kind is
very much greater in town than in
the country. The sedentary employ
ment, the close application to work,
and the frequent reading by bad light,
which are all common in town, are
apt to have the worst effect on
the eyesight' and probably at least
3per cent, of the urban population
wear glasses habitually. If children
were excluded the proportion would
be higher.
Very few children wear spectacles
always, though the proportion who
DO so is unfortunately increasing very
much AS the town population is at
this moment probably about 25, 5000,
900, this means that 100000 of them
wear glasses always. In the country
the number is very much less.
One hardly ever sees a laborer who
wears glasses all day long, unless it
be an old man whose sighS has weak
ened IN the natural course of events.
In the country people use their eyes
g1rear deal out of doors, and exercise
them frequently at distant objects,
all OF which tends to have q strength
ening effect,
Certainly the proportion in the
country would not be more than I
per cent, and this means that of the
10, DOC, 900 or so who form the rural
population, $4,000 wear glasses all
day. According TO these CURES, the
total number of people in the United
Kingdom who wear glasses always,
except when in bed, is $4,000. Ii
we were to take into consideration
the people who wear glasses simply
for readingpurroses the number would
come to at least 10 per cent. OF the
population of the country, or speak
ing roughly 100000 of people.-Tit

Origin OF the Fan.

The origin Of the fan in China is said
to have sprung from the following Incl
dent: A royal princess, very beautiful,
was assisting at the feast of lanterns,
her face covered with mask, as usual
The excessive heat compelled her to
remove it, and in order to guard her
features from the common gaze she
moved it quickly to and fro in front Of
her face. thus simultaneously hiding her
charms and cooling her brow The idea
was at once adopted throughout the
kingdom. Catharine de Medici carried
the first fan from Italy ever seen in
France, and in the time of Louis XIV.

LETTER FROM NIAGARA.

Interesting Correspondence From "A shen-
andoah school Teacher.
EDITOR HERALD In consideration for the
great kindness shown me by my friends dur
ing the contest in giving me their support, l
will endeavor TO tell what l saw on my trip
to Niagara Falls.
We left Shenandoah at 9.05 a. m, Aug. l6,
and arrived in Buffalo at 10.45 p. m. Here
we decided to remain for the night. Enroute
we passed through the beautiful
Wyoming Valley and could not help
remembering how here occurred massacre
during our struggle for independence. Be-
side noting the points of beauty on all sides
our trip was very much enlivened by the
presence Of a number of musicians, who ren.
dered some fine selections
But the objective point was the Falls and
thither we went When, as ] am writing, l
think of the impression which this most won
derful creation ofa Supreme Being had on me,
and hear its mighty roar, l fail to find words
to describe it, and most heartily wish that all
may some day behold it.
Among the many points of interest which
we visited l would name Goat Island,
Luna Island the triple islands Of three sisters
and the Whirlpool Rapids. We also crossed
the Suspension Bridge to view the Falls from
both the American and Canadian sides But
to me the most awe-inspiring part was to
stand at the foot of Horseshoe Falls and
look up at that enormous volume Of water
ever rushing over a perpendicular height of
165 feet and never ceasing in its flow. 1t has
been estimated that five billion barrels of
water flow over every twenty-four hours a
quantity which the finite mind cannot grasp.
As we stood here the spray rose to the
heaven like thick veil oil mist, while on
looking from the top this mist and the sun
shining on it formed most beautiful rainbow
with a back ground of what looked to me
like great mass of ice broken into count
less small pieces.
At every turn some new beauty struck the
sight until at length we turned away bewil-
dered and could but exclaim, "How wonder.
full are Thy worksw
When we crossed the bridge we soon dis
covered that we were not treading on our
native soil, because here we saw the English
nag uOdlluB dIOuuu us luSJ6du OF our glorious
stars and stripes. Here we went through
beautiful Victoria Park, and had our atten-
tion drawn to the battle field of Lundy s
Lane.
1 could now tell the height of the different
falls and the width at different places of the
river, but so much has been written on this
point which all have undoubtedly read, that
for me to attempt to repeat would be of no
interest AS our stay here is drawing to a
close, with indulgence 1 will use the words
of another to express the impression which
the Falls have made.
''Flow on forever, in thy glorious robe
OF terror and Of beauty, Yea, flow on,
Unfathomed and resistless. God hath set
HIS rainbow on thy fol ehead, and the cloud
Mantled around thy feet. And He doth give
The voice of thunder power TO speak of Him
Eternally--bdding the lip Of man
Keep silence, and upon thine alter pour
Incense of awe-struck praise"

LONDON, Aug. 23.-The march Of the
striking miners from the Rhondaa Valley
10 Ebbw Valley, Wales, proved a complete
nzzle. The object Of the strikers was to
force the miners in the Ebbw Valley dis
trict who are still at work to leave the
mines and join the strikers. About 1000
nen were I'm line when the march began
Ihortly after the start was made the more
lint hearted, having in mind the prepare
lions that the police and military had
lade to repress any attempt to create
disorder, quietly fell out Of the lines under
cover of the darkness and made their way
hack to their homes Not many miles had
been traycrscd before there was q more
rapid dwindlng in the number Of the
marchers, the men now openly deserving
their comrades
When those who had conti.."d the
march had reached Merthyr " j they
were met by "A strong force of I,Icr, who
announced that they would march the
rest of the distance with them. This fur
ther dampened the ardor of the strikers,
md a majority of them quietly wended
their way back to the place from which
they had started. Only 200 of the 1000
inen who had started persisted in their de-
termination to proceed. The police did
not think it necessary to accompany this
small number and consequently they were
allowed to go ahead without police es-
Cort. 1t is evident they did not go far,
however for hey have not yet arrived at
their alleged destination. The non-union
miners are still at their work
Many Of the strikers in South Wales are
known to be willing to return to work
without the desired 20 per cent. advance
I'm wages The Monmouthshire strikers
also show tendency towards wavering.
In Glamorgan the men from four large
Collieries in the Merthyr district have
voted by large majority in favor Of go
ing back to work.
