bogus DIAMONDS.

Some curious stories can be told
about the thousands OF false diamonds
sold yearly in London. As a working
goldsmith have seen good deal of the
trade in imitation stones. People of
oil ranks buy them. A nobleman is in
immediate want of cash and must find
it somewhere. He will perhaps turn to
his family diamonds. Possibly $50, 900
could be raised upon them. He tAses
the jewelry off to the false diamond
provider, has the real stones removed
and the false ones put in, and deposits
the actual gems with some one as a Sc
curity for loan. No one is bit the
wiser. His wife appears in her jewels
just the same ae usual. If she didn t
her husband would be made bankrupt
by his creditors the next week. A
large amount of business is done in
this way, and you may depend upon
it that the false diamond merchant has
many chuckle when he reads in his
paper about Lady So-and-So's "mag-
ni6cent diamond bracelets" and the
Countess Bareacre's ''superb tiara. -

A terrible mistake Of housekeepers
is to leave the coffee pot and tea pot
on the back of the stove to steep all
day. 1t is fruitful source of dys.
pepsia and indigestion. Never set tea
aside unless in glass jar or pitcher
for iced tea. Heated over, il is simply
vile. Coffee, if you must economize
that way, should be poured of into q
bowl or pitcher and covered closely.
Over the grounds pour a onpful Of
boiling water, shake and let simmer
three minutes, then pour into the
bowl, and throw the grounds away
and wash and dry the coffee pot. This
will insure you sweet coffee. To make
the coffee, grind fine the necessary
amount, pour the liquid saved care

the back with sharp knife, and rails,
ing one side at time, separate the
flesh from the bone until you reach
the legs and wings, unjoint these from
the body, and cutting through the
bone, turn back the flesh and remove
the bones. To reshape the bird, a
