A TALK ON GEMS.
How the Diamond Is Cut and what Makes
Its Value.


1t was rare treat that the audience
at the Rosedale School Art league
lecture had on recent afternoon
when Mr. James Ryrie, of, Ryrie
Bros, lectured on Jewels says the
Toronto (Ont) Globe. Mr. Ryrie
combined enough expert information
with his lecture to give those pres
ent a peep behind the scenes at the
processes that result in the blare Of
the jewels as they catch the buyers
eye. Naturally, to the diamond most
attention was paid, and at the very
outset Mr.. Ryrie explained that the
term "karat" in gold applies to quail
ity, pure gold being "A karats fine,
and in this form the particles fall
apart like sand, requiring an alloy of
baser metal to hold them together.
In the case of diamonds the term
"karat" means weight, and is de-
rived from an Indian seed which
when dry is absolutely uniform in
weight. A diamond weighing 100
karats, therefore, is one that is of the
same weight as 100 of these Indian
seeds. The end of an ordinary lead
pencil represents the surface of a
stone between one and one-half kar-
ats. The cutting Of diamonds and
their polishing is done with diamond
dust mixed with oil placed upon a
wheel that revolves with great rapid
ity, the diamond in process Of polish
ing being fastened to a steel arm rest
ing on the wheel. The facets are cut
on mathematical lines to reflect and
refract the rays of light, and there are
So such facets on every full cut bril-
liant.
A rose cut stone is one not sufii-
GENTLY deep to admit of regular cut
ting, and rather than sacrifice too
much, instead of being cut to point
underneath, it is fiat, with facets on
the top. This variety of diamond is
only about one-quarter the value Of
a brilliant of similar size and weight.

monds. AS proof to the contrary Mr..

WHY POSSUMS
 ARE GREASY.

One day Brother Bear told all the other animals he was going to have party at his house. He said 1t was going to be q swell affair. Brother Rabbit was the only one who wanted to go, and so, when the time came, Brother Rabbit dressed up, put some flowers in hs buttonhole and started off. Brother Rabbit hadn't gone far when he ran across Brother Fox, sitting by the road in his dirty clothes. Brother Fox said:
 Hello, Brother Rabbit Where are you going, dressed up like that?''
 Brother Rabbit said: ''Why, Brother Fox, ain't you going down to Brother Bears partyf I'm going there"
 "No; that't too much of a swell affair. Why, Brother Bear Is going to have pickles and ice-cream. No, ain't going"
 Brother Rabbit begged and begged, and finally Brother Fox consented to go.
 They had not gone far when they came across Brother Terrapin. crawling along in hls dirty clothes. Brother Terrapn said:
 Hello, Brother Rabbit! Where are you and Brother Fox going?"
 Why, Brother Terrapin. ain't you going to Brother Bears party! l and Brother Fox are gong.p
 Brother Terrapin said: 'It's too swell an affair for me. Brother Bear Is going to have stew, and can't eat stew"
 Brother Rabbit begged, and Brother Ter. rapin went with them.
 They walked on, and soon they saw Mir Jim Crow sailing ronnd in the air Brother Rabbit called Mr. Jim Crow and asked him If he wasn't going to Brother Bears party. MT. Jim Crow said no, that 1t was too much of swell affair; that Btother Bear had a sign cut, which read like this:

And Mir. Turkeybuzzard turned round and made for home Then the animals went in and danced and sang and talked. Then they went to supper. Brother Terrapin could not get chair high enough for himself, so Brother Rabbit he put Brother Terrapin on a shelf, right above Brother Bears chair. The first dishes that came on were pickles and ice-cream Brother Fox he got up, said Good night, gents,' took his hat and made a bee line for home.
 The next dish was stew, and as Brother 'Possum put It before himself Brother Ter rapin reached over to look 1t 1t and lost his balance and fell, hitting Brother Bear on the head. Brother Bear jumped up and over turned the table, throwing all the grease all over Brother 'Possum. That Is why DOS. sums are always greasy.
 Brother 'P0ssum WAS so ashamed at being so greasy that he sneaked out the back way and went home and made Mrs. 'Possum grease. the little 'Possums and herself, and since that day every 'possum has been greasy. HUGH M, WILKINSON. !

APARTY TRICK.

Here Is a trick which is always very eff fective at party or any gathering of young people, ana sometimes with older persons, too:
 Take a tin cup, or n cup of some other metal, and 6ll 1t almost full of spirits of wine. Into this pit a teaspoonful of com mon table salt and stir It thoroughly until the sat Is dissolved. Place this upon wire frame and fix the frame over spirit lamp or a dark lantern, so that none of the light from the lantern can shine into any part of the room. This should be done in one end of the room and the company seated in a line as near the center of the room as pos sible.
 As soon as the cup gets so hot that you cannot rest the tip of your finger against 1t, hold lighted match near the mixture of spirits of wine and salt. A very small yellow flame will arise from the surface and gradually increase in size. Now put

A bright little girl, who has learned great deal of the methods by which news papers are conducted by closely watching her father, has invented game which Is very interesting, indeed, and which can furnish no end of sport if the players are as smart and qulck-witted as this little girl and her companions. The gentleman in ques- tion was thoroughly astonished one day to find these little people earnestly engaged in a game which they called Sunday Editor" It was very real to them, and they had i'm troduced a perfect newspaper atmosphere Into the play which heightened his surprise.
 One of the little folk had "ehosen" to be Sunday editor of an imaginary paper, and,
The age-herald., 1901-12-01

with one or two assistants, held at bay the hungry crowd of little authors, who all wanted to sell wonderful stories, poems, serious articles, suggestions and other things which newspaper uses in It's columns.
 The Sunday editor could not, of course. see. all of these writers, read their manu- scripts or look at all the drawings, and the assistant was kept busy explaining that the editor was very busy person, and that they would have to leave their work or call again Of course, they all knew the editor was al. ways busy, so they insisted on either seeing the boss or submitting their ideas for nasty decision.

- .-o Oturr hgnt ill the room and m a moment you will observe most peculiar eifect. Everything in the room, whatever its previous color will now be q most posi- tive yellow. If the yellow light from the. cup is not quite strong enough, throw some more salt in the mixture and then the vel low flames will be still stronger in color. Reds, blues, blacks, whites, greens, every thing will lose all Its previous tint and be- come ghastly solid yellow.
 iou will hardly be. able to recognize your little friends and they will scarcely know you. Their hair faces, clothes the chairs they sit on and all the rest of the furniture, the carpet-in fact, everything in the room i will look as. if it had suddenly received q thick coat of yellow paint. This is a veFy quick way of changing brunettes to blondes, and there will not be single laddie or lassie with raven tresses In the room. i Now place an ordinary light, at the ex- treme other end of the room and the effect

Long ago there was a forest which was as black IS night. A beautiful young princess lived not far away, who owned many pets.
 l Princess Brighteyes, as she was called, was very fond of animals of all sorts. Fierce beasts were gentle in her hands.
 One day white dove owned by Bright eyes flew into the Black Forest. It was her fayorite bird, and, instead of sending for servant, she went for it herself As sfsS as she entered the forest she heard l -A ful, dreamy music great way off. 9Sl ,Sas4 4entranceG with the sounds. They

will be two lights, one white and the other yellow. You must be careful not to have the white, light stronger than the yellow one, and then while one-half of each will appear In It's proper colors, the other half will still be vivid yellow, and the dividing lines will be sharply defined.
 To get the best effect of this you and your friends should be seated in two lines facing each other, with light on each end of the lines.
 A little girl with black hair and gray dress, for instance, will present a most pe- culiar appearance-looking perfectly nat ural on one side, while on the other side she will be yellow from head to toe.

remembered that her father wished her to marry prince who was very wealthy but very cruel.
 She thought she would rather marry this strange prince than the one her father had chosen, so she told the maids that she consented to become their mas ter's bride.
 They arose, kissed her hand and depart. ed. About an hour after the Prince him. self came. He was handsome youth. He aprronched Brighteyes and said: Dear

her senses. She became alarmed. as it was growing dark, and she was in this strange room.
 As she sat there wondering the door was noiselessy opened and the maids again entered.
 They fell on their knees before her and wept bitterly. Princess Brighteyes asked one what the trouble was. The maid an. swered that their. master was made cap. tive in the palace by witch, but if Brighteyes would consent to become his wife, he would be freed from the spell,
 Brighteyes considered for moment and

And I aint going any place whereI can't fly. No, ain't going"
 Brother Rabbit begged, and Mir. Jim Crow said No" Brother Rabbit begged again, and finally Mir Jim Crow said Yes"
 They had gone little ways, when they heard some one say:
 Hello, Cousin Jim Crow! Where you going?"
 MT. Jim Crow said Come on, Uncle Turkeybuzzard We are going to Brother Bears party. Ain't you going? !"
 MT. Turkeybuzzard said: "No, Brother Bear has sign up that reads like this

And if there ain't any dead people there what am going to eat? You won't see me there" MT. Jim Crow begged, and finally MT. Turkeybuzzard said he would go if MT. Jim Crow would find him dead animal the next day. MT. Jim promised he would, and MT. Turkeybuzzard went with them.
 Soon they came across Brother Wolf, Brother Lion, Brother Coon and Brother 'Possum, and all the other animals, and made them go. Soon they came to Brother Bears gate, and, sure enough, there was the sign:

seemed to draw her on. All the time she was becoming drowsy.
 At last she stood in front of beautiful palace. Two maids advanced to meet Brighteyes. Both were dressed in deep est black. They took her by the hands and led her into the palace. As the dreamy music continued Brighteyes lost all will power. The maids led her into beauti- fu apartment which they said belonged to her, and then they left her The music had ceased, and gradually Brighteyes regained

IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Word was received August 25 that the
h surgent. Colonel torel, with IL officers
and 10 men, surrendered August "a to
Captain Brown Of the Fourteenth in.
tantry at Talisa. The surrender Of
numerous, other smaller oontingents
brings the total to more than 100.
In the city Of Manila there are now
less than 1000 effective soldiers, and it
has been decided to increase this num-
ber by four companies of infantry. The
bflicial reason for the increase is that
the guard duty is too heavy for the
present force. As q matter Of fact,
however. there is feeling that, although
there is no apparent prospect Of trouble.
nevertheless, In the event Of an upris-
ing in the future, such as is always
possible among the Malays, it would be
better to have a sufficient body Of troops
available. General Chaffee says he con.
sders the city of Manila to be perfectly
orderly and he can see no prospect Of an
uprising.
Many army officers say they are graft.
fed at the increase in the military force.
They think that, with the military
guard withdrawn from the prison, an
other uprising there might result in the
release Of about 1880 prisoners. This
possibility is regarded as menace to
the city by those who take that view Of
the case, as they regard the white guard
as insufficient. City officials look upon
this contingency as unlikely. inasmuch
as the 600 white police could mobilize
at the prison before any OF the prisoners
could escape and become dispersed
throughout the disaffected district.
