PRECIOUS STONES.


The Methods by Which They Are
Tested by Experts.
In q 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 suffices. II
the stone resists strong attacks, 1t Is
certain to be genuine; If it does not,
the damage is insignificant, as only an
Imitation has been destroyed. This
test, however, is doubtful with rubies.
If a ruby can be affected by a steel
file or by quartz, 1t is surely not gen.
uine, but such a test with a topaz Is
liable to injure 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 rubies and emeraIds
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 genuineness of the stones
is readily established. Such a test is
very necessary with rubies, because
the limitations are very deceiving
Their color is absolutely durable and
often much finer than that of the gen
uine, although it 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 IN
der the magnifying 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 thar
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 question that has often been asked
is, How long does fright last in wild
creature? The close observer will be
surprised at its brief duration. They
are not subject to nerves like human
beings A partridge after running Cor
rather flying the gantlet of half dozen
guns-if we may be allowed a mixed
metaphor-drops on the other side of a
hedge and begins calmly to peck as if
nothing had happened. You would
think rabbit after hearing charge of
shot whistling about its launches and
just managing to escape from a yelp-
ing spaniel would keep indoors for a
week, but out it pops quite merrily as
soon as the coast is clear. A fox pur-
sued by hounds has been known to halt
and kill fowl in it's flight, though we
may assume that his enemies were not
close to Reynard at the time. We have
been led into thinking about the matter
by noting what took place at cover
after being shot over. Pail Mall Ga

German stoves.

The old Germans. themselves almost as
ancient as the Romans, made the first
metal stove 1t was on the outside Of the
house to be warmed. But while that may
seem like curious place to put your
stove your smiles may vanish when you
are informed that one end Of the stove
projected into the room. The firing was
done on the outside, and it must have
been most unwelcome thing indeed then
to get up first in the morning and start a
fire in the stove. The ashes were taken
from the bed without being scattered
over the carpet. and the business end of
the contrivance which reached into the
room did all the good our present stoves
can accomplish. excepting that they lost
more heat than do these.

Whichever is done, four things are necessary;
First, you may sprain an ankle, your feet may
get sore, tender, tired or become indamed,
sweaty or offensive, Bunions may develop. For
these troubles you will need Rough on Bum

and for sprain, bruise or mash it is incompar-
ably, surprisingly effective, and for aching,
sore, tender, tired feet it beats the world. Sec
ond, you may be bitten by dog or other an ami
may be cut or lacerated by an injury, sores OF
eruptions may develop, cleansing, antiseptic.
healing injection may be needed, for all of which
you will need Wells IS Miracle of Healing
Powder, which is convenient and marvel of
healing. Third, painful, distressing stomach,
bowel or uterine conditions may arise, for
which Wells Stomach Elixir will be indispen-
sable. Fourth, it would be well. if you read
carefully of the merits of Rough on Corns;
Rough on Toothache; Rough on Headache;
Rough on Bile Tablets; Rough on Piles; Rough

Drying Clothes.

The drying of clothes in frosty
weather is sometimes, in the case of
delicate fabrics, attended with tearing
because of the quick stiffening in the
very cold air. A simple precaution
which will prevent any such trouble is
to dissolve three or four handfuls of
coarse salt in the last rinsing water,
thus making it, in fact, weak brine
Articles SO rinsed will not suffer from
or stiffen with the cold.

rHE DEPARTURE.

Oft when a train moves by we feel regret
To see the faces pass, although unknown;
While who may tell the hearts unuttersd moan
Der one dear face that, when We cen forget
The others all, stays with US, vivid yet
BY features, smiles and words, which, having
Gown
About US like pet birds, their each sweet tone
And hook are ever in our pathway met;
So when Of two one leaves the House OF Time,
The other, waiting, cannot help but grieve
For the lost friend, to whom In sorrows Cline
Each memory in its loneliness must clsaye,
While the sad soul tries through its requiem
rhyme
few tear glistening strains of hope to weave.

A man can rarely enter into woman's

eases peculiarly feminine. Even when
the character of the suffering is graph

no equivalent in his experience. All
he can do is to sympathize and suggest.
But when woman hears the story OF
