NO PURE GOLD IN USE.

Gold. when refined from all impuri-
ties said well-known jeweler, and
alloys OF inferior metals, is denominated
pure This means gold OF twenty-four
carats. and this Is the standard recog-
nized by the mint master and dealers In
gold. AS a matter OF fact, however.
there is no gold so pure. Gold OF TWEEN
ty-two carats is about as pure as II
can be got, 1t has two parts Of silver,
or one part of silver and one part OF
copper. The copper darkens the color
Of gold, while silver lightens it in color.
Twenty carat gold is occasionally
seen, which means a half carat each OF
silver and of copper Ordinarily eigh-
teen carat gold Ia the best gold that
can be had. Certainly it is the best
for jewehy, for pure gold, as it Is
called. Is too soft, and will wear away
much faster than the owners OF 1t de-
sires. Washington Star
