OFFENSIVE PARTISANsHIP.
President CIeveIand's Idea Applied
to Democrats.

w Washington SPECIAL
President Cleveland is perhaps the most
eminent authority on what constitutes of
fensive partisanship," in this or any other
country. If any Republican holding office
under the government dares to perform
any act other than that of voting would
bear on politics he is branded an offensive
partisan" and is summariy removed from
his office This is a rule, however, which
only works one way. The more active the
Democrat is the more sure he is of re-
tention and promotion in office. Another
of many Instances Of this kind is now be-
ing shown in the case of c. II. j. Taylor,
the Indiana colored man who was brought
here by the President and appointed re-
corder of deeds for the District of Column

How &c Change Yellow Diamonds Int
White Ones and Back Again.

How to Change Yellow Diamonds Into
White Ones and Back Again.
Numerous attempts have been made
during the last few years to convert
the yellow Cape diamonds into white
gems. A short time ago it was an
nounced that a Belgian had discovered
market, fguratively speaking, with
white diamonds.
The chemist M. Gilon conducted a
series of experiments to discover the
way to change the color of diamonds
In accordance with the principles of
physics governing complimentary COL
ors, Gilon prepared II solution Of alco-
hol and aniline. violet, to which he
added a few grains of benzoe-gum.
He dipped a yellow diamond into this
fluid and allowed it to remain a quar-
ter of an hour. When he took it out
again the diamond was white, but it
had lost its brilliancy.
Gilon renewed the experiment with
a strong solution of anime, allowing
the diamond to rest in the mixture only
a few seconds. When the gem was
taken out of the solution it was pure
white and sparkling brilliantly.
Weeks later the diamond had lost
none of its brightness or brilliancy,
and Gilon is convinced that gems SO
treated will long retain these qualities.
This would seem to prove that the
change is possible.
If the 'falsifed" stone is looked at
through a microscope no defects what
ever be seen; neither does the dia-
mond lose any Of its color when rub

Formerly it was thought sufficient to
dip n false" diamond into alcohol to
discover the treatment to which it had
been subjected and to restore the vel
low color. That often suffices, it is
true, but Gilon's experiments made the
color so solid that an alcohol bath
failed to affect it.
Is there, then, no means to discover
the spuriousness? Yes, and Gilon dis.

place a diamond supposed to be colored
into aqua regia for one second. If i,

OLD AGE A LAW OF NATURE.

Care should He Taken to Conserve the
vital Powers by Temperate Living.
In orderly coincidence with the close
of this late years existence. q statistical
report of centenarians who have lived
in or died with it has just been pub
lished in the pages of a contemporary.
1t includes, altogether, thirty-three
persons, the eldest, a woman, being
aged 116. What is unusual, the num-
Der of males is in excess of that of fe-
males. Unfortunately, the report offers
us no information as to the habits or
other personal characteristics Of these
old people. 1t is r that we are not
without information and that of n sci
entiic and accurate kind. derived from
other sources, and this is of consider
able interest. In n study of the life
history of the aged nothing strikes one
more forcibly than the fact that life, in
it's latest period, presents itself very
much as a state in which the vital
functions-enfeebled indeed, though
not always greatly SO or ever
in an irksome degree-continue
in active exercise under normal
conditions. 1t is, in fact, the close
eAo ShoNh VI q q Va
conducted throughout in regularity
and moderation. Appetite. as a rule,
has been good and has beer INDUCED
within reasonable limits. There seems
to be little to choose between temper
ance and total abstinence in the matter
of alcohol, though excess but rarely
wins h reward of longevity. II. in
any direction. it is allowable for COM
petitors in the race of life to dispense
with self-control, it would appear that
they may to a great extent use this
liberty with respect to physical and
mental exertion. Nature has made
large allowances for the inevitable ne
cessity of labor, and has ever prac-
tically, in some cases, sanctioned an
overstrain of energy, provided that due
care be taken to conserve the vital
powers by temperance in other things.
The life thus orderly lived usually ends
as orderly, faculties, comfort and even
enjoyment continuing till, as il grown
weary, it accepts a timely and final
repose in the sleep of ages. Lancet
