MR.. GAMMON'S FEES.

preme court to enable him collect fees from recall
crant client The court held that he entitled to no

favorite Popustc adage that go law lawyer

The case is instructive in showing how far an indus
tous lawyer often feels himself at liberty go order
to make his occupation profitable. Mr. Cannon know

statutes OF this state enable the dOwnrodden farmer to
recover damages from the railroad company whose line

Hence the appeal to the court.

TO TELL A DIAMOND.

There are three ways in which an anna
teur can tell whether or not diamond Is
real. First boil the stone in boracic acid
to preserve the polish on the surface of
the stone. Heat the jewel in gas flame
and dip 1t Into cold water while hot. II
1t Is diamond it will stand the test with
out cracking to pieces If crystal 1t will
shatter and crumble into little balls.
Take cup of water "a black cup, gutta
percha or any dark stone cup is best)
and drop two stones into the water, the
one diamond or supposed diamond, and
the other which is known to be ordinary
crystal. The diamond, If true one, will
shine a clear white through the water
and will be clearly visible, while the
other stone will blend with the water in
such a way as to be almost imperceptible
in the water.
Take a surface OF striped cloth or pa
per-red and white stripes are the best
and pass the stone slowly over the sur
face. If the colors show through the stone
1t is crystal. A diamond will not show
the varieties of color, but will look the
same over the red over the white
stripes. Of course, these tests are only
for amateurs. There are numerous chem
ical tests made use of by expert diamond
dealers, but these could not be used by
one not an expert on the subject.
