ENGRAVED DIAMONDS.
How to Obtain satisfactory Results Some
Notable Samples.

How to Obtain Satisfactory Results Some
Notable Samples.
It was long believed that the diamond
could not be engraved with safety or
satisfactory results, but contemporary
says that few stones roughly engraved
were found in India and diamond was
exhibited at the Paris exposition Of 1878
on which portrait of the king of Hol-
land was scratched But the work was
very imperfect Some of the finest ex-
amples Of engraving on diamonds are
the work of Paris jeweler. One is
certain scarfpin, representing a yat-
Afghan, of which she blade is a slender
diamond and the handle is ruby. An
other is large circular stone on which
a pansy, with it's foliage, is engraved,
and in third case the design is a knife
made with two diamonds. An elaborate
piece of work is bicycle, Of which the
wheels are two circular diamonds. The
spokes are represented by lines engraved
Oh the diamonds A small hole is pierced
at each angle. Another diamond is
carved like fish. A handsome brooch
is a scarabaeus surrounded by sapphires
and brilliants The most remarkable is
a ring made of one diamond, the interi-
or surface being polished and the exte
rior deliberately engraved. 1t is said that
there is nothing similar to this in exis-
tence Other examples are brooches rep
resenting flies of which the wings are
thin, engraved diamonds, two diamonds
engraved with armorial bearings. the
imperial arms of Russia, being used in
one instance on shirt and cuff buttons.
Formerly it was only possible to pro
duce the polish on fiat surfaces, but M.
Bodinet has been able to do this on con-
cave portions, as on the body and tail OF
the fish and the interior of the ring
His tools produce not only straight lines,
as in the wheels, the racket and the
flies wings, but a free modelling, as i'll
the pansy, the Russian arms and the
scarabaus. He has invented these tools
himself and intends that his son alone
shall have the use of them. They are
exceedingly delicate and difficult to
handle. He has spent 25 years bringing
them to perfection.

How to A1ight FROM . Carriage.

Grasp the dress lightly at about the
knee, standing steadily on the right foot.
Point the left foot sharply and bend the
left knee, letting the weight of the body
steadily down thus toward the street
level, the prettily pointed toe and trim
ankle being daintily in evidence. Di-
rectly the left toe touches the ground
let it take the weight of the body with
a pretty springiness. All the beauty of
the move depends on the steady lower
ing of the body on the right foot and
the pretty pointing of the left foot. If
you need steadying, you may grasp the
inside of the carriage with the hand
nearest. The usual way of alighting
from the carriage is to extend a fat foot
and come down on it, while the grip. on
the side Of the carriage is SO tight that
the whole body is swung around awk-

How to Care For the chi1dren,s Hair.

How to Care For the ChildrenS Hair.
If mothers would give more thought
to the welfare of their children's hair
than to it's beauty for the moment, our
daughters would have luxuriant hair at
an age when the majority of the sex are
mourning over the loss of it. 1t is best
to keep girls with short hair like boy s
till the age of 10 or 10; then it should
grow naturally. If it be straight, let it
remain SO, being only confined into one
loose plait at night unspoiled by curl
ing On the score of cleanliness, too, it
is good to keep child's hair short, thus
enabling it to receive a thorough and
constant washing. Besides the other
reasons for keeping the hair short, much
pain is saved, as there are no tangled
tresses to be combed out constantly.
There was large family of sisters who
were very strong and active, but who
had very little hair, with one exception.
Upon inquiring the cause, it was found
that they had been very free of the
usual childish ailments, etc., and they
had, as children, all had good heads
of hair except one, who had worn
hers like boy till the age of 13 years.
1t is needless to tell you that the pres
ent possessor of good hair is the one sis
ter who had it kept short for so long

THE DAWN OF DAY.

Where the earth lies, in the cold embrace
of endless winter, folden,
And the pale sun sends its level rays DER
frozen lands afar,
And CLEAN the wild white wastes of snow
and ice fields, grim and olden,
Underneath the steely simmer Of the
glittering north star,
There, half the year, Ger all the land, the
sickly day Is shining;
And DER the land, for half the year, grim
darkness holds her sway;
And fainting grow their weary hearts and
sick with sad repining;
And longing grow their eager eyes, who
walt the dawn of day.
But time rolls on, and brings at last again
the welcome morning,
When the long, long night is ending, and
the long, long day draws nigh;
Then they gather on the mountain tops as
the pale moon is dawning,
And scan, with eager, anxious gaze, the
frosty, eastern sky.
And when at last the distant sun upon the
orient tracing,
Paints, with a crimson glow, the leaden
skies, all cold and gray,
They turn to greet each other, and they
cry, with fond embracing:
10, our long, long night is over, and be-
hold the dawn of day!'

And long the world has waited in the

Long has the cry of a2guished hearts from

But though His vengeance waiteth long,

And the good will surely triumph and the

And the east is flushing crimson with the
dawning Of the day.
Oh, We who pray, have faith, for 10! the
world is surely waking. 1853
Take courage, ye who toll "for God and
Home and Native Land"
And we, whom wrong hath well-nigh slain,
whose hearts are well-nigh breaking,
Lift up your heads, rejoice, for your re-
demption is at hand. +.
Soon, soon, your longing eyes shall see the
sun of truth ascending;
And the glory of His coming drive dark
errors night away;
Then you'll cry in tones of rapture, hope
and awe and gladstone blending,
''Lo, our long night is over, and our day
has dawned for aye!'

WINTER SKIRTS.

Cold Season.

The incest winter skirts are those
made of some glace, dust-shedding
wool, with a little stiffening, like an
alpaca, and lined with flannel. Black
alpaca is the best. Cut The skirt with
two breadths at the back and q wide
front breadth, which should be just
about double the width of one of the
back breadths. Gore the front breadth
on each side. Cut the back breadths
with one gored side and one straight.
The straight side of the back breadth
should join the front breadth, and the
two gored seams be united together
in bias seam, which must be strongly
stayed with a stout tape of black cot
ton. Cut out breadths of flannel to
correspond with the breadths of al
paca. If you have ar old flannel or cloth
dress of any color, clean it thoroughly
and use it for lining, by cutting
breadths from it. Basic the black al
paca front breadth on the one of tlan-
mel. Lay the back breadths of alpaca
over on the front breadth of alpaca and
the flannel on the flannel. Lay the four

up the seams and turn back the back
breadths over each other. Press these
seams with damp cloth and hot iron
ard then stitch up the bias seam in the
back without concealing it. Cover the
one raw seam thus left inside with
cotton tape that acts as a stay and
Tor that purpose must be stitched down
edge, covering the seam. Put row OF
feather bone across the bottom of the
front breadth of the petticoat on the
inside, and ornament it on the outside
with box-plaiting, about six inches
wide, of black alpaca. This plating
must be hemmed on both edges and put
on with a slight heading. Put yoke
or band on the skirt. Fit the skirt to
either by six little cores in the top
of the front breadth and by plaits in
the back breadth. When alpaca of
fair quality for this purpose costs but
IS cents yard and an old flannel dress
skirt is utilized for lining, an ineXpen-
sive, as we'll as useful, skirt may be
easily made.-N. Y. Tribune.

is possible that gruff man may not
answer you, but persist in that greet
ing, for, just as certain as that you are
YOU, your politeness will have its effect
upon him. Remember that the world
should be better because you live in it.
There are duties in life, as well as pleas
ures, and you have no right to shirk
these duties because your home, for the
present, differs from that which you
would call real home. Do not throw
your dinner down your throat as il
is were so much coal pitched in the
furnace, but, out of respect for yourself,
observe the table etiquette that OBJ
tains among well-bred people. 1t is
possible that the man opposite you may
WELD his knife and fork in an awk-
ward way, or that the old lady at the
end of table may be n bit greedy in
her desire to get an extra plate of pud-
ding or a specially fine pear. What
other people do must not influence you,
unless it should be for good, but what
you do will, unconsciously, have it's eff

n.ighbor, about the many impcrsonal
subjects which rise up in q great city.

SHARING SUCCESS.
The Man Who Cannot Be Corrupted by
Prosperity.


When one realizes what life means in
it's higher relations and duties, it is pa
thetic to notice how constantly people
apologize to each other for any small
trouble which they impose. The
young man who goes to ask the man
of established position for a letter of
introduction or for personal interest in
securing an opportunity for work
almost invariably expresses re-
greet for the interruption which
his request necessitates; as if
the world were wholly selfish, and
any kind of service done were in way
exceptional and out of the common
run of things! That a man shall take
care of his own is expected: that he
shall put his strength, his time and his
ability into caring for his own is taken
for granted; but If he is asked to do
anything for anyone else, to devote any
small measure of time and strength and
ability with others, he is thanked as if
he were doing an unusual thing. AS
matter of fact, the one duty is as close,
as obvious and as imperative as the
open to one who is waiting for an OPP
portunity has done nothing more ex-
ceptional than if he had put an hours
work into the gaining of his own bread
or the clothing of his own body. He is
simply doing what a respectable spir-
itual being might be expected to do.
The making of opportunities, the
throwing open of doors, is as much the
duty of the man who has the opportu-
nifty as caring for his own family.
1t is, indeed, one of the highest rewards
of success If one understands what
success means-to be in the way of put
ting others on the sameroad. Nothing
is more spiritually vulgar and shabby
than to climb up and throw down the
ladder by which one has climbed.
Nothing shows the true nature of a
man more than the spirit in which he
treats success; if he is mean and mig
gardly in his soul, he accepts it as kind
of personal distinction or gift, and
boards it as miser boards money;
if he is generous, he spends it freely,
eager that others should share what he
has gotten. And no man deserves sue
cess or ought to keep it who fails to
make this spiritual use of it. He who
does this cannot be corrupted by any
kind of success or spoiled by any kind
of prosperity; he who fails to do this
was corrupted and spoiled before he be-
gam. Y. Outlook.

ARROW POINTS.
Bright Bits of Truth from the Rams
Horn Columns.

Bright Bits of Truth from the Rams
Horn Columns.
Cheerful giving always makes the
giver rich.
The sin of moment may blight the
whole life.
God never made anything too small
for His use.
To give and grudge is no better than
not to give at all.
The prompting motive of all cheerful
giving must be Love.
If man has no friends, it generally
means that he deserves none.
The man who takes the Bible for his
guide cannot live an aimless life.
The wages of sin Is death, no matter
how promptly we pay our pew rent.
Only God can tell how much wrong
doing is prevented by one man doing
right.
The artist gets a glimpse of Heaven
in the meadow, where the farmer sees
only so much hay.
Those who make the Bible a lamp to
their feet, will never have to spend
much time in the dark.
There must be a constant dying to
lower life, if we would know what it
means to enjoy higher one.
Freedom from want is not for the
strongest lion, but it may be enjoyed
by the weakest of the Lords sheep.
Don't spend a minute in trying to
count the hypocrites in the church.
Better try to count the mercies of God.
The man who spends his time in
counting hypocrites generally makes
miscount, by not putting himself at the
head of the list.
We often pray for faith to remove
mountains, when what we need is
light to see that they should remain
right where they are.
There is some blessing in being rich
and strong and gifted, but there is
more in being none of these, and yet
doing better than they.
Go forth with q smile on your face,
and you will return believing that most
people are good-natured. Wear y
frown, and you will find plenty of quar-
relsome people.
