She Started Early.

A martinez Of a sergeant deciding to
get married, some OF his men decided
that when the happy event came off it
would be q fitting occasion to pay back
with interest old scores, especially as
their friends decided to keep up the
time honored custom Of throwing rice
and old shoes at the happy couple.
On the eventful day when the happy
pair emerged from their quarters they
were greeted with a perfect shower of
rice and old shoes, but one Tommy had
silly substituted a big pair Of regula-
ton Bluchers, which he threw with
such unerring aim that the missile
caught the sergeant just above the eye,
inficting q nasty cut.
Directly the ceremony was over the
sergeant Immediately went to the hes
pital to have the wound dressed. The
doctor, after examining the swollen and
discolored optic, inquired how it was
done.

Value OF Diamonds.

AS to the value of diamonds, per-
fectly white stones or decided tints Of
red, rose, green or blue are most high
ly priced. Fine cinnamon and salm-
on or brown, black or yellow stones
also are esteemed. If hawless and
without tint of any kind, they are
termed first water. If they possess q
steely blue color, at times almost
opalescent, they are called blue white.
Such are Usually Brazilian stones. EX-
ceptionally perfect stones are termed
gems, and for such there Is no fixed
value, the price depending on the puri-
ty and the brilliancy Of the stone. The
term first water varies in meaning, ac-
cording to the class of goods carried by
the dealer using it.
It is impossible to estimate the value
Of O diamond by its weight Color,
brilliancy, cut and general perfection
Of the stone all are to be taken into
account. OF two stones, both fawless
and weighing ten carats, one may be
worth 5000 and the other $4,000. Ex-
ceptional stones often bring special
prices. OF color or imperfect stones
sell at an average price per carat re-
gardless Of size.

A. Joke On @ Professor.

Among some intensely amusing col
lege scrapes told by "a Graduate" in
The Ladies' Home Journal is the story
Of certain professor not much liked
by his pupils who was to be married.
The lady lived in Cleveland. And the
students that loved @ him were not
Of course invited. But they determin-
ed that in some way be should hear
from them. And he did. On the day
appointed the professor took the train
Mt 10 a. m, due to arrive at Cleveland
at 1890 p. m. About II o'clock Jim
Townsend rushed to the telegraph Of
fee and sent off this dispatch:
"Chicf of Police, Cleveland: Man
coming on train No. 6, tall, we'll dress
ed, frock coat, silk hat, side whiskers.
Escaped lunatic. Hold. Shrewd, there
fore beware. Strange case. Will say
name Finalli. Mistake. Thinks he IS
professor in a college. Delusion. Es-
cort to home of friends at No. - Euc-
lid avenue"
This message reached its destination
long before train No. 6 reached Cleve-
land, so that when Professor Finalli
alichted it was to walk straight into
the custody Of three detectives. They
would listen to no words Of reason, but
escorted him out to the house on Euclid
avenue, the home Of his intended bride.

SPIRIT SLATE WRITING.
How the Mysterious Sentences Are
Prepared In Advance.

How the Mysterious Sentences Are
Prepared In Advance.
Spiritualistic slate writing, if cleverly
done, always makes marked impress
sion on a .magician's audience because
it utterly battles their efforts to detect
the trick. They see small cabinet
suspended above the stage by means
Of cords or ribbons. 1t has an open
front and is empty. The magician
turns it around so that every. part Of
it may be seen and taps it inside and
out with his wand to show that it is
hollow.
On a stand near by he has q small
easel, a common school slate, a bottle
Of india ink with quill pen IN it and
q few sheets Of ordinary white writing
paper. All these he passes around
among the audience for examination.
Then he fixes q sheet Of the paper to
the slate by means OF waters, places
the slate on the easel and the easel IN
the cabinet, together with the bottle Of
ink, the latter having the pen still IN it
Having allowed the audience to see
the articles thus arranged in the cabi-
net, he throws a large silk handker-
chief over it. Mysterious sounds are
Immediately heard, and the cabinet
shakes as IL some living thing had en-
tered it. When the sounds and the
shaking cease, be removes the hand
kerchief, showing an inscription writ
ten in bold black letters on the paper
and the pen not in the ink bottle, but
lying on the bottom Of the cabinet. lie
then removes the paper from the slate
and passes it around for examination,
when the writing is Immediately recog-
nized as having been done with India
ink.
The explanation Of the trick is SIM
pie. The writing was done in advance
by the performer, the fluid used being
a solution Of sulphuric acid Of the pur-
est quality. To make the solution so
drops Of the concentrated acid ore add
ed to one ounce Of filtered wa :er. Writ
ing done with this solution is invisible
until exposed to heat. When so ex-
posed, it comes out perfectly black,
looking exactly like dried India ink.
The heat is applied by means Of an
electric current running over wire with
which the slate is wound. The cords
by which the cabinet is suspended con-
ceal copper wires, which conduct the
current to the slate. Black silk threads
suitably attached enable the performer
to make the sounds in the cabinet, to
cause the cabinet to shake and to jerk
the pen out Of the ink bottle.
Several sheets Of paper are prepared
in advance, each with q different in
scription, the performer telling one in
scription from another by secretly
marked pin pricks.-New York Herald.

She Showed Him Her Work.

don't often penetrate to that part OF

on the front door until he was tired,
and then he went around to the back

agent, ''but I have here work that I
would like to show you"
"Have you?" answered the woman.
swell, I've got a lot Of work that I'd
like to show you" She took one soapy
hand out Of the tub and waved it at a
great pile Of dirty clothes.
That's my work." went on the wo-
man. "If your work can beat that, all
right; If it can't, why, skip out"

The Enrth's BenGiEgs.

Little bendings are in progress all the
time the world over. The ''immovable"
bills are bowling and scraplng to each
other constantly. Every evening, as the
dew settles in the valleys between
them, they nod to one another. SO like
wise do the mountains, even to a great
er extent. Gravity is tugging all the
time.
And in London, too, where earth
quake sensations are practically IN
known, the earth bends daily, and the
buildings, like the hills and the noun
tains, nod to their friends opposite
when the morning traffic begins. On
Sunday usually their manners take a
rest excepting in such places as Petit
coat lane, where business hourishes in
as lively fashion as in Paris.

How Fortress Monroe Was Euilt.

How Fortress Monroe Was Euilt.
The manner Of constructing the fort
at Old Point Comfort Is interesting
and throws some light on customs and
practices then in vogue. The work was
almost wholly done by slaves who were
brought to the place by their masters
and leased to the engineers in charge.
The slave owner received so cents
day for each slave, and the government
furnished each "laborer," as the slave
was called, with two suits Of working
clothes, pair or two Of shoes. rations,
quarters and occasionally little tobac-
CO. The "laborers" worked with very
little clothes and generally without
shoes. They lived in barracks and were
subject to kind Of military discipline.
The owners were regular in coming IN
to collect the hire for their slaves, from
which we may infer that the "constitu-
ents" Of those days knew how to appre-
ciate a good thing to q degree worthy
Of the present generation.-Leslie's

How to Learn to Like Pictures.

The following suggestions, If you
please, are not from an artist nor even
from connoisseur, the writer being
nothing more than an ordinary picture
lover. In general the principle to be
followed is to get as much in an atmos-
phere Of pictures as possible. Always
90 to the museums when you are tra7-
cling, and If you live near enough
make occasional picture visits to Bos-
ton, Chicago or New York. Do not
make the mistake Of staying too long
in gallery. You only tire yourself.
Half an hour is quite long enough. But
do not endeayor to look at every pic
ture in the gallery in that time. Look
long at few good ones and let those
you look at be those you like or at least
those which you prefer above the 9TH
ers. Also ask yourself why you prefer
them. Always get catalogue. Some
times the pictures are not marked, and
you as student want always to know
the painter Of your picture.-Frederic

Lythan, England, q cottage and boat
house that were made almost entirely
from the remains Of score or 80 Of
whales that had been driven ashore
some years before. The framework Of
the edihce consisted wholly Of whale
bone, and the dried skins Of the huge
creatures were neatly and strongly fas-
