Precious Stones That Are Subject to
Serious Changes.

The decoloration of precious stones
when they have been exposed to the
air for long time is considered one Of
the most frequent maladies. Among
the colored stones, the emeralds, rubies
and sapphires are those which remain
intact best. Nevertheless they are not
exempt from changes, as has been
proved by many experiments recently
made in Paris. Two rubies of the same
size and shade were kept for two years,
one in a showcase and the other away
from all light. At the end of this term
a comparison revealed that the first
had become somewhat lighter in color.
The influence Of light makes itself
felt more plainly on topazes and gar
nets. The garnet turns much paler in
a short time, while the topaz assumes
a darker shade and even loses the bril-
liancy possessed by 1t when freshly
cut.
The most sensitive stone in this re-
spect Is the opal. This stone draws its
marvellous rainbow reflections from
numerous little clefts which allow the
light to pass and reflect 1t in different
directions. Often the opal stands the
manipulations Of cutting and polishing
well, and all OF sudden 1t splits. 1t
suffers always by excess Of heat. Ow-
ing to its chemical composition it is
sensitive to all the changes Of tempera-
ture.
Pearls deterlorate very easily. In the
fire they are transformed into piece
Of lime. Placed in contact with an acid,
they behave as lime or marble would
under the same conditions. It some
times happens that during the work, if
the hand touching them is very sweaty,
they lose their luster or break, being
attacked by the acid Of the perspira-
ton.
Since pearls are composed Of concen-
trio layers Of mother Of pearl, it is
sometimes possible to repair them by
taking off the outer layer, but this
operation is extremely difficult and
delicate. If the interior colors are in
jured there is no remedy.
Diamonds are less sensitive; still it
is not prudent to take them too near
the fire.-Jewelers' Circular Weekly.

How 10 Boil Poultry,

Fowls to be boiled beautifully white
should soak an hour or two in skinned
milk. When trussed and singed, flour
them well, put them in cold water with
a slice Of bacon (sweet and new and
a small onion. Put a small piece Of
bacon and an onion with little pars-
ley inside. Set them over slow fire,
cover the pot close and let them sim
mer. Remove the scum carefully as it
rises, cover them again and boil gently
20 minutes. Take them off the fire and
put to side of range and let simmer
until done.

nent of Certain Salads.
Mix one teaspoon Of mustard, one
teaspoon powdered sugar, one:half
teaspoon salt andlone-fOurth teaspoon
cayenne in small bowl or saucepan
set into large pan Of ice water. Add
the yolks Of two raw eggs Gnd stir
well with a small wooden spoon. If
the yolk thickens at once and can be
held on the spoon, you may be quite
lily, but if the yolk seems thin and wa
terry and spreads all over the pan it
will take very slow and careful ma
nipulation to make perfect emulsion.
Have ready and measured one pint
of olive oil, two tablespoons vinegar
and two tablespoons lemon juice.
Pour teaspoonful Of oil into the
bowl and tip it so the oil will stay at
the lower edge. Gradually take it into
the egg as you stir and when it disap-
pears add another spoonful. And SO
go on adding oil, more and more each
time, until when it is thick like batter
you may add it by the tablespoonful
and at last by the quarter cupful. Be
careful to stir in each portion until the
mass is smooth and glossy rather than
rough and broken. If it seems inclined
to crumble and rapid stirring does not
remedy it, add little Of the acid and
when smooth 60 on with the oil. Be
careful not to use too much acid, as 1t
makes it thin. 1t should be thick
enough to drop when ready to use. If
you wish a larger quantity and do not
care for so large an amount of oil, add
half a cup Of whipped cream or the
beaten whites just before serving.
Never mix the mayonnaise dressing
with the meat or fish until ready to
serve, and then only part Of it, and
spread the remainder over the top.
Mayonnaise tartare is simply the adj
dition Of chopped onions, pickles, pars-
ley and capers to the mayonnaise.

Alfalfa In the Rotation.

Alfalfa is a most valuable factor in
any system Of rotation. In Colorado
we find it remarkably so in this re-
spect as to all other crops. 1t is the
secret Of our great success at Greeley
in raising potatoes. OF course the
Greeley soil is just the kind for pota-
toes, but alfalfa ground doubles the
crop, and wheat after potatoes thus
grown gives vastly increased yields.

PROF. Ross's CASE.

New York, February 23.-Edward Il
A. Seligman Phi. ID, professor of politi-
cal economy and finance, in Columbia
university, gave out today the report of
the committee of economists on the
dismissal of Prof. Ross from Leland
Stanford, Jr, university. The othsr
members OF the committee besides Prof.
Seiieman are Henry W Farnam, professor
Of political economy, Yale university,
and Henry b. Gardner. professor of
political economy, Brown university.
The report clears Prof. Ross OF having
given cause for his dismissal, 1t states
that Mrs. Stanford.s objections TO Prof.
Ross were due, in part, at all events, to
mis- former attitude on the silver ques
tion and to his uttsrances on ooolle
immigration and on municipal owner

Vaughan has issued declaration against

praises recited after benedlotion.
London, February 2S.-Ths Cardinals

alone of all the parliaments in the world
declares two sacred Catholic doctrines
are '.superstitious and idolitraous."
They are held sacred by 1900. 900 of the
Kings subjects and. besides the Roman
church, by the Greek and eastern oommu-
mites. The Cardinal says ne brought the
matter to the attention OF a cabinet min
lister three years ago who, told him the
government would not take mp the sub'
ject. After the Queens death he wrote
a letter to the King ''couohed in terms oi
tdeIity and dictated alike OF conscience
and loyalty" The Cardinal does moi
say whether h3 received a reply. The Car
dinal commands the Catholic peers pro-
test and hope "this remnant OF hateful
