with the delicate shades and hues in the
gems OF natures own making, and he must
improve on them and adapt them to pre-
Valling tastes and fashions.
A process frequently used to improve the
appearance of precious stones that are
iaulty, dull or of an ordinary hue is that Of
burning. Blemishes are removed by this
process, or the color and bri1lance of the
stone sbo are changed Very often the color Of
Even the delicate turquoise must occa-
slonally resign itself to artificial embellish-
ment. Many sensitive turquoises become
bleached and faded from exposure to the
sunlight Ammonia and fatty substances are
aappled to restore the. original blue color,
put such treatment does not accomplish
lastlng results. BY another process the
faded turquoise is impregnated with Prus-
sian plue me pigment does not penetrate
very deeply, however, and may easily be
scraped off with knife Such artificial
coloring is easily discernible by lamplight,
which transforms the delicate shade into
an unsightly gray.
Artificial methods are adopted also to
render gems colorless. The yellow tinge
cheapens their value. 1t is, therefore, found
profitable to deprive them Of the objections
able tint. and the method is very simple.
The yellow diamond is placed in violet
colored chemical liquid and after being
dried, is found covered with a very thin
scale of the violet substance.
Highly ingenious and deceptive is the art
OF joining precious stones Upper and under
layers are frequently fastened with mastic
In this fashion, and so cleverly as to de-
ceive even the experienced eye. Joined
stones are quite common, for the significant
reason that large solitaire diamond or
other gem is far more costly than two
smaller ones.
The art of doubling is carried to the ex.
tent of making false doublets, which are
naturally manufactured at slight cost when
inferior stones or imitation ones are used
Some doublets are composed of an upper
portion of colorless glass or mountain
glass. The latter imparts it's hue to the
former. The effect is also obtained by
placing layer of coloring matter between
two colorless portions, or using a bit of
leaf metal or tinted gelatine There are
also hollow doubets. pieces of crystal or
glass in which are sealed drops of colored
liquid.
Many sharp practices are in vogue among
jewelers. in the mounting of stones Where
the setting is not an open one and the gem
rests in a solid bit of metal, opportunity Is
given for mary Shrewd devices to enhance
the appearance of the jewel, conceal its
flaws and increase its brilliance. A pigment

is placed beneath those portions of the stone
that are free from the dark flaws.
Even more frequently thin DTS or gold,
silver, copper or zinc foil, retaining their
original color, are laid beneath the gems,
rendering them more brilliant and improving

feet Justice to deal with The balance be-
speaks the justice of present duty. 1t will
also approve the justice of final condemna-
ton
Marvellous respect have we all for the
scale of human judgment, unjust though we
know it to be many times. How many
times are we held back from some course
of action. either right or wrong, by the
thought. What will people say?' We know
that popular opinion is often superficial,
prejudiced arbitrary. and not seldom posi-
lively unrighteous yet there are few forces
more influential in determining our conduct
than this same popular opinion.
Frequently it works for good. We re-
frain from many an unworthy act. out of
regard for reputation. And we are very
circumspect when we think the public eye
is upon us. Reputation is the weight re-
corded by the scale of popular opinion. It's
worth depends upon the quality of the scale
and the accuracy of the weigher. In a COM
munity of criminals or savages it puts a
premium on wrong doing. In the best of
communities it often takes greater account
of outward appearance than of genuine
worth. 1t weighs deeds and consequences,
but lacks the delicate adjustment necessary
to test motives and purposes. Nevertheless.
I repeat, it is a powerful agency for good,
restraining from evil, prompting to kindness
and benevolence.
Would not the force be much stronger.
surer, more universally helpful, if instead
of the scale of human opinion men regard
ed the balance of God? Think of it. We
may often falsify the record of the scale.
What we show to the world may be our
best, while the worst is concealed. Or, on
the other hand, men may judge us from our
worst and be ignorant of our best. But God
takes account of all, our best and our
worst. His balance marks not actions
alone, but motives, desires, intentions. And
its record is not reputation, but character.
Conscience is the gauge from which we
may read the Judgment clearly and exactly
at any moment, if we have not permitted
1t to become blurred and soiled.
Thou art weighed in the balances. Apply
It to your own life. How does conscience
read the judgment? On one side you see
the talents God has intrusted TO your keep
irg. There are gifts He has bestowed upon
you. And they are numberless. There are
many opportunities for doing good to 9TH
ers. Souls have looked to you for inspira-
ton and example. What is there on the
other side? Talents used? Opportunity
seized? Service rendered? Duty fulfilled?
Souls helped and inspired? Are you at full
weight or found wanting?"

Whereunto the early temperance reform
eress responds with much spirit:
81 know you have very fine farm,
With a meadow at the foot;
But it's master loves his mug of wine,
And I'm 'fraid his hogs might root,
Root, I'm 'fraid his hogs might root"
He retorts, with equal aptness, to long
string of similarly euphonious verses giving
an inventory of the riches that should be
at her command 'whene'er she'd be his

to the limbo of the forgotten

He stands in yonder barn,
But his owner loves his mug of wine.
And I'm afraid his horse might larn,
Larn, I'm 'fraid his horse might larn."
A roiicking Ohio song took the listener,
for once out of the realms of love and
parting battle, shipwreck and sorrow, and
told the story of a famous hunter. That es-
timable Quaker poet, the late T. II.
Burgess, rescued it from becoming wholly

first stanza of four lines will give a fair

Robert Howels was in the ancestral line

AS before intimated, the number of these
crude nonpoetical songs and ballads was
legion But there were other local songs of
greater literary and musical worth, some of

adopted as their own. A notable example

form in which it had been sung for years
in the Western settlements, that the critic
would find it difficult to determine which

blossom Armies.

In the inland meadows, 10,
Blossom armies come and go,
Soldiers clad in various hue,
Tory red or federal blue,
Marshaled in the moorland glade
BY some billowy chansonade,
Blown from off the showery peaks
Where the seasons trumpet speaks.
Crocuses and daisies file
Down the meadows mile by mile,
Ragged sailors. far from sea,
Trudge in awkward infantry;
Buttercups in whole brigades,
Violet hosts in cavalcades,
Mount the slopes and charge the glen,
Taking captive maids and men.
Bold invaders lie in wait
Close beside the city's gate,
Waiting secretly the nod
OF their captain. golden-rod,
Who in turn awaits replies
From his picket line and spies
Indian-pinks and other scouts
In the enernv's redoubts.
Hark! they rally now and come,
Hear the bugle blast and drum
Hear the bugles blowing sweet
Nay, but listen, tits retreat
IT'S retreat they call, and, 10.
See the Fastening armies go,
While behind them, in and out.
Winters forces flood the rout,
Winters forces. how they pour
Down the clearings with a roar,
How they charge them in the glades
With their frosty fusillades;
Till the blossom armies all
Wave their battle-flags and fall.
In the inland meadows 10,
Thus the armies come and go.

NV Regret,

Two there were fair, so fair!
Long ago l knew them;
Soft blue eyes and golden hair,
Who could help but WOO them?
Chestnut hair and deep gray eyes;
Seeing was to love them;
What beneath Gods tender skies
What could rank above them?
Looking back along the past,
Well do / remember
One wooed when heaven, o'ercast,
Frowned in bleak December;
One / sought when April smiles
Stole through shine and shadow.
Danced adown cool forest aisles,
FLUSHED in copse and meadow!
All. poor heart! why pause and pine?
Turn and look upon her.
Fair and true and wholly mine
AS when first l won her!
Vain regret her signs must smother,
Whatsoever 1t cost her;
Yet l know 1 love the other
Best-because l lost her.

His experience is that of thousands Of
others. With the opening Of the bicycle sea-

older people who have determined to take up
bicycling as q health giving exercise find
themselves really lacking the proper snap
or stamina to begin on. Their bodily con-
dition prevents so spirited exercise. They
would like to ride but they are out of sorts,
run down by winter of work or indoor
life. Many who are really sick, who have
suffered from debility or wasting diseases for
a long time until they had begun to think
their troubles had become chronic, as moth
ing gave them relief, would turn to bicycling
for relief But this splendid exercise, like
any other requires strength to undertake.

Joy that Paine's celery compound, taken now,
