Alphabetical Abuse.

The prosecuting attorney in a law
suit had waXed especially indignant at
the defendant, whom he characterized
as an abandoned, baneful, cynical.
diabolic, eXecrable, felonious, greedy,
hateful, irresponsible, jaundiced, knav-
fsb, lazy, meddlesome, noxious, outra-
geous and profligate rowdy."
"The learned counsel on the other
side" said the attorney for the defend
ant when he rose to reply, Should
have put his adjectives IN hat and
shaken them up a little before using.
You must have noticed, gentlemen of
the jury, that they were in regular al
phabetical order. This shows that he
selected them from a dictionary, be-
ginning with "a He stopped at 'p,'
but in his manner of reproducing them
he has given us the cue as to how he
got them"
This turned the laugh against the
other lawyer, and he lost the case.

A Great Traveller.

Miss Jessie Ackerman, the worlds or
ganizer for the Women's Christian Tenn
perance union, is regarded as one Of the
greatest women travellers living. She has
gone around the globe twice and has been
In nearly every known country, and the
immense sum needed to defray the ex-
penses Of these journeys has been raised
by her own efforts. Miss Ackerman has
organized societies and held meetings in
Alaska, Australia, China, Egypt, Iceland,
India, Japan Malaysia, the Philippines,
Palestine, Siam, Tasmania and the
Transvaal. Her most startling expert
ence, however, was not gained in the line
Of duty, she says, but in satisfying the
spirit Of adventure. At the great pearl
fisheries between Australia and Java a
feet Of pearling ships and an army OF
divers are always at work, and Miss
Ackerman expressci desire to visit the
bed of the ocean. Accordingly she was
locked in a divers suit and began to de-
scend, but the air had not been sufficiently
exhausted in the diving bell, and she found
herself going down headforemost She
had the presence Of mind TO pull the sig
nal cord vigorously and was drawn TO the
surface with all possible speed.

mrotherIfnen In BrOckton.

Here is a story told by Professor Bar
yeti Wendell about DR.. William Ever.
EFT: The latter was going out to
BrOckton one night to deliver an ad-
dress and ran across Mr.. Wendell in
the Old Park square station. Come
along, Wendell" he said. II am going
out to Brocktonito speak, and | want
some one respectable to sit on the plat
form with me-" SO the professor went
along
When Everett arose to speak, the
hall, which was large one, was only
passably well filled and even the com
paratively small number present began
to grow smaller as one by one people
slipped away. Mr.. Wendell began to
think that Brockton must be n singu-
larly cold hearted place when sudden
ly he noticed people coming in by twos
and threes and silently taking seats
wherever they could find them. Soon
the hall was full, with standing room
only, but still they came till the aisles
and walls were lined within interested
listeners
The supposed deserters had simply
gone out and told the people Of Brock
ton that here was the, greatest man
they'd ever heard and gathered them
in by the score.-Boston,H Herald.

Jenny Lind's Duet With Webster

Jenny Lind visited Washington during
the winter of 1851 and sang in concert to
a delighted audience. 1t chanced that on
the evening OF her appearance several
members of the cabinet and senate were
the guests at dinner of Bodisco, the Rus
sian minister, and the concert was half
over when Webster and the other mem
bers of the party entered the hall.
After the applause which greeted their
appearance had subsided the second part
OF the concert was opened by Miss Lind
with Hail. Columbia" Webster, deeply
moved by this patriotic air, arose at the
close Of the first verse and added his rich,
sonorous voice to the chorus. Without
avail, his wife, who sat behind him, pull
ed at his coattail to make him sit down
or stop singing. The volunteer basso join
ed in at the close Of each verse, and none
could tell whether Lind, Webster or the
audience was most delighted.
AS the last notes of the song died away
Webster arose, hat in hand, and made a
profound bow to the singer. Jenny Lind,
blushing at the honor, courtesied to the
floor, while the audience applauded to the
echo. Webster, not to be Outdone in po-
liteness, bowed again. Lind recOurtesied,
the house again applauded, and this was
repeated nine times.-Philadelph Satur-

ARTIFICIAL GEMS.
Glass That shines Like Diamonds,
but Soon Loses Luster.

but Soon Loses LuSter.
To meet the growing demand for arti-
dcial jeWelry the process of making
proved within the last few years, and
its further development has enlisted
the services of some of the most skill
full chemists.
The material chiefly used is glass, but
it is not the ordinary glass Of com
merce. 1t is prepared with the greatest
care by highly skilled artisans, for up
on its clearness and perfect homoge
neity depends the quality of the imita-
tion gems, which are far superior to the
cheap grade of counterfeits that rely
on silver backings for their luSter.
The glass can only be made from abb
solutely pure quartz or, better still,
from rock crystal as quartz frequently
contains minute veins Of iron which
would impair the clearnesS and color Of
the glass. The bcarbOnate of potash
and the oxide of lead which are mixed
with ii must also be chemically pure.
Other ingredients of less Importance
are boraX, which promotes the tlux,
and small quantity of arsenic.
The best glass for imitation gems
consists of rock crystal, 81 per cent; BIZ
carbonate of potash, II per cent; oxide
of lead, 80 per cent; boraX, 1 per cent,
and a trace Of arsenic Carefully pre-
pared by competent hands, this mix
ture produces a grade of glass which
in brilliancy and iridescence yields lit
tie to the genuine diamond itself, and
these qualities may be further enhanc-
ed by the substitution of potassium for
the hicarbonate Of potash and an in
crease of the quantity of oxide Of lead
used
Stones carefully made by this process
eau only be distinguished from the gen
ulne by experts. This is true, however,
only 50 long as they are new, for imita
tiOn gems wear off, become blind and
lose their fire with age and it is to rem
edy these defects that the efforts of
chemists are now directed.
Opaque gems, like the turquoise and
the opal, are made from glass whose
transparency is destroyed by the addi-
tiOn of oxide of zinc after pulyeriZa-
ton. The color of the turquoise is pro
duced by means Of oxide of copper and
