Fate Of N Once Powerful People,

In a dozen years more the Ava-Supis.
the most interesting primitive tribe In
the southwest, will probably have dis
appeared from the face OF the earth.
writes a correspondent In the New
York Post. The tribal traditions have
It that there were once over $500 Ava
Supis and that they were worthy an
tagonists of the warlike Apaches. Now
there are less than 100. and they are
mlserably poor and pitifully uncom-
planning amid their misfortunes. Kit
Carson believed there were about 5000
Ava-Supls when he secuted in the
southwest in the forties. Formerly the
tribe had great bands Of horses and
herds of cattle and were pea ceful mas
tiers of northern Arizona except where
the more powerful and warlike Nava-
joes ranged. Now the detected surviy-
ors live in a narrow canyon made by
erosion among the sandstone rocks,
about 60 miles northwest of William
station, on the Santa Fe railroad.

THE NEW TENANT

Row, when he left my life drew
Close shut the easements Of my heart
And locked the door. and in each pass
Strange darkness reigned, forlorn and nsv.
There pierced no happy sunshine through
The barrier Of fastened doors;
The dust lay thick upon the floors
Where rosemary was strewn and rue
But on a certain day came one
Who knocked and would not be denied
And threw the rusted easements wide
And entered with the wind and sun
The dingy webs that grief had spun.
The dust that sad neglect had laid,
The faded hangings, rent and frayed.
Had vanished ere his work was done
On, he hath swept my heart for me
Clean OF old sorrowing and doubt
And he hath set it all about
With peace and happy certainty I.
Oh, home be glad for such as he r..
And very sweet nor let him find
That ghost one tenant left behind.
That silent, sad eyed memory

PRECIOUS STONES.
The Methods by Which They Are
Tested by Experts.


Tested by Experts.
In lecture on precious stones re-
Gently delivered before the Industrial
association OF Berlin, DR.. Emmanuel
Friedlaender said that the testing Of
diamonds is comparatively simple. The
common test for hardness sufiices. II
the stone resists strong attacks, 1t Is
certain to be genuine; II 1t does not,
the damage ia insignificant, as only an
imitation has been destroyed. This
test, however, Is doubtful with rubies.
III n ruby can be affected by a steel
file or by quartz, 1t is surely not gen
ulne, but such test with topaz Is
liable to injure n valuable stone.
The test for hardness is Of no avail
with emeralds, as this stone Is not
much harder than quartz and In addi-
ton possesses the quality Of cracking
easily.
For examining rubles and emeralds
the optical test Is best. A glass mag
nifying about 100 times suffices. Ev-
cry expert knows that almost all pre-
cious stones have little flaws. Nearly
every ruby and all emeralds have
many defects, which are so character
istic that the genulneness Of the stones
Is readily established. Such a test Is
very necessary with rubies, because
the limitations are very decelving.
Their color Is absolutely durable and
often much finer than that Of the gen.
uine, although 1t may be stated that a
somewhat yellowish tint is always sus-
picious.
The only reliable way in which gen.
uine rubies can be told from limitations
Is by the minute air bubbles Of the lat
ter, which become clearly visible I'M
der the magnlfying glass. These are
not to be found In the natural gem.
On the other hand. the limitations lack
certain defects characteristic OF gen.
uine rubies-certain vacuums, whose
outlines are much more indistinct than
those Of the air bubbles in limitations.
True emeralds have similar charac-
teristic defects, such as Enclosures OF
LIQUIDS and curious dendrites. Sap
phires also show peculiar netlike for
nations.

A MODERN CUSTOM.
European Discussion of Finger Glass
Etiquette.

European Discussion of Finger Glass
Etiquette.
The use Of finger glasses after dinner
is quite a modern innovation In Ger
many, introduced from England. I'm
til about ten years ago glasses were
indeed brought round at dessert at the
very end Of the meal. but this was for
the purpose of rinsing the mouth, and
a very comical sight it was indeed to
see gentlemen and ladies In plain dress.
or en- grande tenue, washing their
mouths at a sumptuously furnished
table-or, for the matter Of that. in any
private or public assembly room-in-
stead Of retiring to some private cham
Der for this purpose.
In Bavaria 1t often happens that per-
sons of talent. but without much
knowledge of the manners of what Is
called polite society. are invited to
dine with royalty, and not unseldom
has the mistake above referred to been
made there. The following little anec-
dote. however. contains the details OF
a practical joke played by a number
Of artists on a colleague still living
who had for the first time received an
invitation to dine with the prince re-
gent at the Schloss at Munich:
Several masters Of the brush had re-
ceived similar Invitations. and as the
painter in question was somewhat
elated and excited by the honor con-
ferred upon him and at the same time
singularly nervous and inquiring as to
the way he would be expected to be-
have at the royal table his confreres
put their heads together and deter
mined to play a practical joke upon
him.
He was accordingly told: THE first
time anybody Is invited to dine at
court special drink Is handed round
In glass bowls. and the newly invited
guest Is expected. according to strict
etiquette, to take one of these bowls
in his hand and to rise and exclaim, 4
drink to the health Of his royal high
ness and then to Quaff the contents OF
the bowl at draft, make profound
bow toward the prince regent and 80
resume his seat"
The gentleman in question acted to
the letter according to the instructions
given him. To the manners Of the
court must be attributed the suppress
sion of all suspicion Of a giggle. and
1t Is stated that the royal host did not
appear In the least disconnected. but
afterward the merriment was unre-
stricted.-LODdon Telegraph.
