His laughter light as Of yore.
How frail Is Lowell" So the oilers saw.
"How soon is his sorrow o'er!"
Dead but II month! Nay, the time has flown.

Since lNft my dear dead love alone,
All alone, on the hillside here.
Oh, love, my love, how can mortals speak
Of lately" or long agof"
Let them mctc out life by the day or week.
Our love is not measured So
And what is the difference now to me,

How swift or how slow they glide,
For to me nll time fell dead, trow,
The day that my darling died.

SPECIMEN STONES.
Gems of the Utmost Perfection, Both Rare
and Precious

Before the existence of specimen
stones" becomes, through the drain of
them to America, a thing of the past
for us, it may be well to say few
words about things which very few
people have ever seen, and hencefor-
ward have little chance of seeing. The
word specimen stone explains that
it is a gem of the utmost perfection,
but few know how rare and precious it
is and how little it differs to the eve 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 constitutes
the last infirmity of noblemen, for not
only are they the most concentrated
form of property but the appreciation
of them is most exclusive form of
culture.
1t may seem strange, but It is true,
that there are probably not fifty per-
sons in England who can tell dia-
mond worth a hundred pounds a 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 GUS
tom for this class of gems, know almost
as little about them as the laity. 1t
takes years of practice, with such rarity
of opportunity as the market affords,
to train the eye to recognize exactly
the orthodox color of a ruby, emerald
or sapphire, and to distinguish bril-
liant of the first water from an ordi-
nary ''fine stone demands q delicacv
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, I"
flaws and feathers" may be bought
lone marvels who buys them at com
paratively exceedingly low prices. The
value of two rubies of the same size
for example, might be severally 81 and
e1, 900 per carat Then come ordinary
stones, stones which lady may wear
without discredit, their flaws and the
poverty of their color not beng such
as to betray them in the wearing, ex-
cept to practiced eye. OF such stones
consist 90 per cent of those worn even
by rich women. Fine stones" being
of thrice the value, are only to be seen
on the persons of those who are fas.
tidious as well as rich, for though a
commonly good Judge can detect the
difference at once, there is too great a
temptation with most women to put
inconspicuous quantity before incon

MARvEls oE SURGERY.
Badness May he Cured by Grating
Dirthmark Removed.


So life be left in our bodies, no mat
ter if they be hacked or hewed or
manned or broken, the surgeon will
set hopefully about the work of repair.
The process of grating animal tissue
is now carried to such extent that the
deficiency of one creature is made good
by taking a piece or part of another.
A dishguring birthmark on the face OF
a child was recently nearly cut away,
and n patch of skin taken from the arm
of the mother was transplanted to
cover the wound A man so frightful-
ly burned as 20 lose the greater part OF
his epidermis was successfully re-cov-
cred from frogskin. Oculists have taken
cornea from the eyes ofrabbits, cats or
dogs, to replace and make good the
vision of human beings.
That wonderful fiber, the nerve, has
also yielded itself to the slSillful touch
of science. The nerves may be patched
and pieced. The nerves Of brutes have
been successfully Joined to the stumps
of severed nerves of men. Badness
may be cured by grating. A New
York physician has recently repaired
ravages of this kind by taking CRAFTS
from the patients own scalp, where
time had spared his locks and after
ward eking out the supply by portions
taken from the head of another per-
son, doubtless selecting hair of the
proper color. These CRAFTS were cut
up by means of punch, and included
not only the thickness of skin but also
subcutaneous tissues beneath which
left them fully quarter of an inch
thick. Holes corresponding in size to
those left after the removal of the
scalp for their reception. All the
CRAFTS united well, without suppura-
tion or untoward results, and bore hair
luxuriantly.
Even the bones, where they have
been splintered by accident or destroyed
by disease, may be replaced with bet
ter bones and become incorporated
with the complete osseous structure.
In the light of such surgical achieve
ments the mysterious creation of woman
in the garden of Eden loses part of
its incomprehensibility. The hurts and
ailments of our poor humanity are
helped and healed with a skill that APP
proaches magic. AS Prospero could see
his goblins at work to grind the joints
of his enemies with dry convulsion, and
10 shorten their sinews with agSd
cramps, so the good magicians of the
scalpel can now undo the demoniac
work of the goblins, who apparently
have never left off grinding mems
joints and shortening their sinews. In
these days of wonderful scientific dis
covery the surgeon easily keeps step
with advancing knowledge, -Waverly

Man Milliners.

1t is not generally known, perhaps,
that there are man milliners who hire
out by the day or week as trimmers to
New York modistes. 1t goes without
saying that these trimmers are artists
Their greatest value lies in what they
call original designing. The frames
of shapes in stock are taken with
whatever decorative material may be
available and unique bonnets and hats
are evolved which may serve as models
or be used for special orders, The
men trimmers command salary of $50
week or $40 dav of six hours, They
are regularly employed by modistes
who, in connection with dress and
cloak-making do some millinery work,
but the largest class of patronage
comes from the millinery shops. The
intruder is scorned by the women in
the workroom, who not only make per-
sonal remarks, but deprecate every
thing he turns out.-N. Y. World.
