Mice That Manufacture Thread.

A Scottish artisan has conceived the ingenious and economic idea of em- ploying mice in the manufacture of thread. The small quadrupeds are made to turn wheel with their feet. and in this manner, and by means of 8 simple mechanical contriYance, they are able to make about 2,800 reels of 137 yards each daily. To produce this quantity it is estimated that they cover Q course of 18,000 yards.

PASTE DIAMONDS.
Worn DY Owners of Valuable Gems for
 Varlous Reasons.


 New Orleans Times-Democrat: Ae- cording to an expert goldsmith, the practice of wearing fake replicas of Valuable diamonds is considerably more common than one would sup pose. It is usually done by people who are in temporary straits and wish to borrow little money on their jew elry without exciting suspicion by it's absence. or course such a thing as a paste diamond that would stand even the briefest scrutiny of an expert does not exist outside the pages of romance, but those who are known as the owners of handsome gems can wear an imitation with a good deal Of impunity. It never occurs to any of their friends that the familiar stone may be a substitute, and 1t is passed with at most a casual glance. It is said that a number of these doubles exist in New Orleans. They must be specially mounted to pass muster, and the job, when properly done, is far from easy. Some years ago a local jeweler was commissioned to make a paste duplicate of lady's br c"let. It was a narrow hoop of gold set with 10 perfectly matched brilliants weigh ing about two carats each, and alter mated with similar number of very hEndsome emeralds. There was no telling exactly wbat the trinket was worth, for the value of such things Is largely arbitrary when they are titled to be classed as unique, but. it ran some distance into the thousands. The setting of the stones, which was of the style known technically as gypsy that is to say, flush the metal-made them rather easy to initiate, but when the work was partly done, the jeweler grew suspicious that 1t was intended for some improper purpose and refused to proceed without an explanation. The man who gaYs the order, who was a stranger in the city, poeketed the ori- ginal and disappeared in some agita- tion. He was never seen again. and there is doubtless a queer story behind the episode The half finished braee- let is still in the jewellers safe.

A NATTER OF JOURNALISM.
Alameda Argus: How welcome and
refreshing is little plain fact. The
people read the newspapers-they have
to. They admire, too, the wondrous
enterprise and the machinery for get
ting and publishing news. But eight
men out of ten feel insulted at part of
what they read. Are we such fools
as to be taken in by such awkward
lying?" The frenzy of jealousy which
great journals feel for their rivals and
the frenzy of suspicion and hatred
which they bear toward certain COR
porations. such as the Southern Pacific
Company, renders their point on these
subjects SO ridiculously unreasonable
as to be insane. The solid, balanced
and undemonstrative citizen regards
the unmeasured speech of the etiitoria,

can regards the declamatory perform
ances of the Cuban, or the empty pre-
tensions of the Spaniard to dignity and
honor A high degree of development
is necessary before men are able to
makes reliable statement. to be as
moderate as fact, in short, to- tell the
truth. The greatest men are the plain,
straightf0rward men, and the positive
degree is the real .superlative.
