BLEACHING DIAMONDS.
Trick by which South African Dealers
Deceive Patrons.


The discovery of diamonds in South
Africa led Indirectly TO some clever de-
ceit by the dealers, says the Pan Mall
Gazette. Many of the South African
diamonds hive a straw tint, which has
an unfavorablc effect ON their price.
especially as cXperts believe it will be-
como more decided the longer the
stones are exposed to the mir. Some
of the moro knowing dealers discov-
ercd that by aubjccting the straw
tinted diamonds to bath of certain
acids the Objectionable color was re-
moved and the gems become purr
white a number of diamonds So
treated were sold in Paris and Berlin,
and brought higher prices than they
would if they had retained thor origi-
nal color.
After exposure to the action of the
air for certain time the original color
returns. but by that time they have
pissed out of the dealers hands. The
fraud was soon found ont by the trade,
and they now guard against impoSi-
tions OF such n character by means of
various tests OF those the most gem
orally used are the hot water bath or
friction. If dyed stone be left in hot
water few minutes il resumes its or
iginal hue; or, If the gem be rubbed
sharply on towel, or even on the
coat sleeve, its normal color can be de
tected. These tests arc simple and
efficacious and are in daily use.

Date OF tho Treaty OF Peace and How
Brave Deeds Were Recorded.
The formerly ratified treaty of peace
was brought TO Londen by William
Stuart, first attache TO the British en-
bassy ut Paris, on April 20, 1855. Sun
day May 4, was observed as day of
general thanksgiving to almighty God
for the preservation of peace; and on
Monday the 5th, II was formally pro-
claimed In London, with the usual
solemnities. Addresses to the crown,
approving of the peace, were carried
in both houses of parliament on the
evening of that day; and on the sth
both houses cordially voted thanks 10
the army, navy and marines employed
in the operations of the late war. :
The feelings entertained toward the
men who fought and bled In the Crimea
by the queen, the government and the
people of England arc also placed on
record in an excellent dispatch Of Lord
Panmure's, which will be perpetuatcd
as long rs the language exists. i.I
''Since the period" said the noble
secretary of war, when the army first
quilted the shores Of England, there
has been no vicissitude of war which II
has not been called upon to encounter.
1t was assailed by cholera shortly after
its arrival in Turkey. Then was proved
that moral Us well as physical courage
pervadcd its ranks. Led TO the field,
it triumphed in engagements in which
heavy odds were on the cncmy's side.
1t carried on, under difficulties almost
incredible, siege of unprecedented
duration, in the course of which the
trying duties of the trenches, priva-
tions from straitcncd supplies, and the
fearful diminution of it's numbers from
disease neither shook its courage nor
impaired it discipline. Notwithstand-
ing that many n gallant comrade fell
in their ranks, and they were called to
mourn the gallant commander who led
them from England, and who closed in
the field his noble career as n soldier,
her majestys troops never flirched
from their duties, nor disappointed the
sanguinc hopes of their country"

AN EGYPTIAN CUSTOM.

IL MystiHed Herodotus, hut Modern Inves-
tigatIon Fully Explains IL.
More than one thousand years ago
Herodotus observed remarkable GUS
tom in Egypt, says Prof. Drummond.
At certain season of the year. says
the Washington Post, the Egyptians
went into the desert, cut off branches
from the wild palm, and, bringing them
back to their gardens, waved them
over the flowers of the date palm. Why
they performed this ceremony they did
not know, but they knew that IL they
neglected il the date crop would be
poor or wholly lost.
Herodotus offers the quaint explana-
nation that along with these branches
there came from the desert certain flies
possessed of a ''vivific virtue" which
somehow lent an exuberant fertility to
the dates. But the true rationale to
the incarnation is now explained.
Palm trees, like human beings, arc
male and female. The garden plants,
the date bearers, were females, the
desert plants were males, and the wav-
ing of the branches over the females
meant the transferenco Of the fertiliz-
ing pollen from one to the other.

A Stroke Of Business.

Twenty years ago young man
who had paid attention to a bright,
sweet girl for long time without
making anything that was near a
second cousin to proposal, was start
led one evening by the question,
Robert, do you want to marry me?'
He tried to evade the point by asking
her why she put such question to
to him. Because, if you do not want
to marry me. you must stop coming to
see me. No hooking bird around the
redbreast's nest you know" Robert
took the hint and with cool good
night went away. Why should he
care for girl so rude as this? As
good company as hers elsewhere. He
tried to sleep, but couldn't. He
didn't quite like the turn things had
taken. If he was the hooking bird,
who was the redbreast that he was
keeping away from such tiltha part

said to himself, "and she means BUSH

to the counting room, when presently

Robert hummed tune when left to
himself. 1t was long day. Bust
ness dragged. Everybody was pre-
occupied, hurried, cross. Things went
wrong, He was glad to go home. He
took book, but found himself trying
to read the Goals in the CRATE and the
figures on the wall instead of the page.
He threw himself on the lounge, but
it was dreadfully dull. He stood it
for awhile and then put on hisl%hat
and walked down to the G.widow
Craig's. He stepped up to the door
as usual, but Edna was engaged. He
asked to have her called, it seemed a
month before she came down. AT
last she appeared. lie arose from his
seat and met her in the middle of the
room, and said: "Edna [ have come
here tonight on business | am tired
of being your hooking bird, and want
to be your redbreast, will you be my
wife," when do you say" said
Edna, her face suffused with bushes
"Soon as can make nest, dearest, "
Robert replied. 81 believe both of the
redbreasts join in building the nests,
said Edna.

An old horse breeder says that his
