Diseases of Gems.

Precious stones are subject to vari-
GUS maladies much the same as ordi-
nary human beings. Many of the
maladies Of gems are incurable and
often prove fatal as far as the beauty
of the stone is concerned. One of the
commonest 1n6rmities of precious
stones is their disposition to change
color. The emerald, the sapphire and
the ruby are commonly supposed to
have absolutely permanent colors,
and yet it has been found by recent
experiment in Paris that long expos.
ure to light causes them to fade per-
ceptibly.
In the garnet and the topaz the
change is often comparatively rapid.
This fading Is accompanied in rubies
and garnets by cloudy, dull appear
ance. The habit which some gems
have of cracking unexpectedly and
without-any apparent cause seems to
be incurable. Opals are considered
the most "unlucky" of all gems. They
often become so sensitive that the
heat encountered by the wearer sitting
close to fire will destroy them.
The lustre OF On opal is due to myr.
lads of minute cracks in the BODY of
the stone, the edges of which reflect
the light at different angles, produc-
ing its characteristic prismatic colors.
Any one of shese myriad of cracks
may cause the gam to split.
The misfortunes of pearls are almost
too numerous to be classified. Since
the pearls consist entirely of carbon
ate of lime, they are exceedingly sen.
sitive to all sortsof reactions. Thrown
into fire at an ordinary red heat
they are instantly converted into
mere pinch OF lime dust, and if acci-
IDENTIFY touched with any corroding
acid are ruined. They are easily
cracked, or broken, and often lose
their lustre merely by being handled.
The acid contained in the perspiration
of the skin has also been known tc
destroy them. New York World.

REMARKABLE RECOVERY
OF a Young Lady of Gasport, Now York.
from Anaeinia.


From the Courier, Bafalc, NJ r
Miss Lulu Stevens, daughter of George
Stevens, the well.known blacksmith, OF Gas
port, Niagara, County, New York, has sur-
prlsed her nelghbors considerably, by not
dying Ave months ago, when the physicians
said she could not live.
This was quite remarkable case. Tho
young woman, who Is very we'll known, on
account Of her musical ability, had been
very healthy girl. until about one year ago,
when she began to fail, and grew so pale
and apparently bloodless and SO weak tnar
after q few months she was given up to die.
Last winter physician wno was visitor
at Gasport met Miss Stevens, and seeing her
emaciated condition, and hearing from the
local doctors that the disease was anasnta,
prevailed on the girls mother to make her
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills. Directly she
commenced the treatment she began TO
mend. and now since February, when she
decided to take them, she has become well
and strong and tho picture OF good heath.
The mother OF the GIRL Mrs. Stevens, says:
"Every one in Gasport knows that T nx
Pills cured Lulu, aud feel very thankful
that we heard OF them In time to save my
child's life."
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also
specific for troubles peculiar 10 females,
such as suppressions, Irregularities and oil
forms of weakness. They build up the blood,
and restore the glow Of health to pale and
sallow cheeks. II men they affect radical

WORDS OF WISDOM.

No sin is so little that it may not
become the souls master.
Looking difficulty square in the
face will often kill it dead.
No prayer meeting was ever killed
by the prayers being too short.
To close our hearts against a brother
is to shut heaven against ourselves.
The world has learned more from
its poor than it has from it's kings.
The man who robs another OF his
right loses most by the transaction.
Beware of the sin whose only de-
Tense is that it is highly respectable.
a poor man with a sunny spirit will
get more ouf Of life than wealthy
grumbler.
When love gives it enriches itself,
but what covetousness keeps it takes
from itself.
Boil down many o mans religion
and it will be found to have been moth
ing but froth.
Love is dead when the husband be-
gins to grudge the money it takes to
support his wife.
lIt is not what we have, but what we
do with what we have, that proves our
fitness for promotion.
There must be constant dying to
q lower life if we would know what it
mems to enjoy higher one.
sfhe man who spends his time in
counting hypocrites generally makes
o miscount by not putting himself at
the head Of the list.
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.
When the preaching is against sins
that are not known this side of China,
and no other, the devil will help the
preacher to get congregation.
Go forth with smile on your face,
and you will return believing that
most people are good natured. Wear
a frown and you will find plenty of
quarrelsome people.-Ram's Horn.

The New Telephone Girl.

She was new girl at the central
telephone exchange.
Her previous experience in this big
and busy world had been behind the
counter at Chintz & Chally's.
Nevertheless, she was a pleasant
spoken young lady, and amiability was
written all over her nature.
She had adopted as her motto the
touching sentence, eve strive to
please, and she honestly tried to live
up to it.
There was a ring at the bell.
She applied her ear to the instru-
ment and asked sweetly:
"What number, please?"
''Let me have No. 474.
ST am sorry that No. 474 is busy
now," she replied. "You can have
No. 473 or No. ATS if you wish.
The individual at the other end OF
the wire hung up his receiver and used
language which plainly showed that
all efforts to please do not necessarily
succeed.-Harper's Bazar.

Trinidad,s Pitch Lake.

A remarkable phenomenon in the
island of Trinidad is the "Pitch lake,"
situated at La Brea, about sixteen
miles from the Port of Spain, the cap
ital of the island. 1t is about one and
half miles in circumference and ele-
waited eighty feet above the level Of the
sea. The water is covered almost en-
tirely with a stratum of asphaltum,
traversed by assures and crevices fill
ed with water. The pitch at the sides
is perfectly hard and cold, but as'one
walks toward the middle the heat grad
ually increases and the pitch becomes
softer and softer. At last it is seen
boiling up in liquid state and the
air is strongly impregnated with btu
men and sulphur. During the rainy
season it is possible to walk over near
ly the whole lake, but in the hot
weather great part cannot be ap-
preached. The pitch is much used up
in the island for roads, pavements and
roofs, and is exported to the United
States and Canada.--Exchange.

Blsmarck's Love for Children.

It is impossible ever to have been
within the Bismarck family circle
without seeing proof that the Iron
Chancellor is not all OF iron, says the
Ladles' Home Journal. I have seen
him with his own children-now tall
men and women-and with other
children. His affection for his own
needs no testimony; he has always
shown it. His affection and pride in
his eldest son and successor, Count
Herbert, are part OF his nature. L
have seen Prince Bismarck also with
troops of children who came to
Frederichsruhe to visit him. His
manner to them was charming, his
outstretched hand upon the heads OF
those nearest to MIN, the kindly
caress, the sympathetic greeting
these are so many traits OF personal
character and of true gentleness OF
nature which the outside world, think.
Ing only of his life of storm and
stress, might not expect to find. But
there they are.
