English Jewelers., Tricks.

Many working jewellers with whom
articles are left to repair are very
tricky individuals indeed, and women
are their chief victims. A great device
of the working jeweler, 80 far as gold
chains go, is to take off the hallmarked
fastening loops and to substitute for
these an exact imitation In metal, 80
that these should always be most care
fully examined. In ladies' lockets the
jeweler fraud usually takes out the
gold inside rim which fastens the
glass, and Of course he puts In sham
substitute. Where an article sent to
him contains a great number Of toler-
ably small stones he will take one or
two Of these out and put in imitation
articles specially made to deceive, says
Woman's Life. A working jeweler has
been known to make pounds week
by taking away the hallmarked cross
bars of gold alberts and replacing them
with brass. These remarks only. Of
course, apply to the small number Of
black sheep to be found in this as in
every trade.

Two Wrongs.

A clergyman, lecturing on Capital
Punishment" took strong grounds
against the death penalty, arguing that
while it was wrong for man to COM
NIT murder 1t was but another wrong
ito kill the murderer and that two
wrongs never made q right.
"At least" said he, II never heard of
but one case where they did" And he
proceeded to relate the following story.
presumably in support of his argu-
ment:
"a man entered a country grocery,
where a number of the villagers sat
around on barrels and boxes, and ask
ed If two wrongs ever made q right.
The response was Never So
thought till recently" continued he,
when met a stranger who asked me
to change q five dollar bill for him.
1 did so and after his departure found
the bill was a counterfeit. So I kept
it till the other day and showed 1t on
q fellow greener than l." The listeners
exclaimed that those were two wrongs
certainly, but they didn't make right.
''Well," replied the man, they made
me all right"

PROTECTION OF WORDS.
A Plea For a Rest For OursFamiIia
Quotations.a

Plea For a Rest For OursFamiliar
Quotattons.e
In these days when everybody is
writing and everybody seems to sue
ceed would it not be we'll to start
society for the protection of words and
phrases? Many of these are so bru-
tally overworked by the amateur. The
winged words, the words that burn,
the thoughts that breathe, the telling
phrases. do they not clamor loudly for
a rest? That very sentence affords an
Illuminating example of what mean.
How apt, how vivid, how expressive it
would be if all its epithets had not lost
their vitality through owerwork! To
the sated reader the whole sentence Is
but the echo of an echo. 1t not merely
means nothing, but it is robbed even Of
its sound and fury.
The greenhorn that complained Of
Hamlet that it was too full of quota
tons unconsciously expressed q great
fact through the medium of bull. In
a wrongheaded way he pointed out that
constant reiteration has reduced the
stAQCol pdSodSCo Al IAC ioA6 ud6O "
mere commonplaces. Give-our familiar
quotations a rest. Lay to sleep our
household words. Let fortune for
awhile cease to favor the. brave. Let
us feign that the poet is made. Let a
man who would steal another's thun-
der be arrested for felony. Let us win
no more golden opinions. Let the IA
vored few withdraw to some select Sc
clusion and the countless thousands to
some dry eyed privacy.
Thus may nouns, adjectives and
phrases, after long rest, reawaken
with the freshness of the morning upon
them, their original meanings recreat-
ed, energetic, effective, brilliant, as on
the day when they were, first conceived
and brought forth.-Era.

THE BAMBOO HAIR.
A Slow but Sure Poison That Is Used
by the Javanese.


The young shoots of the bamboo are
covered with a number of very fine
hairs that are seen under the micro
scope to be hollow and spiked like bay
Onets. These hairs are commonly called
bamboo poison by the white men resi-
dent in Java for the reason that mur
der is frequently committed through
their agency
fancy to European, according to an
official Dutch report she will either
have him or poison him If she gets the
chance. She seeks any and every op-
portunity Of mixing these infinitesimal
hairs among his food, and they serve
the purpose of irritating the whole
length Of the alimentary canal and set
ting up malignant dysentery. 1t may
take a long time and many doses Of
this so called poison to effect the pur-
pose, but the native woman does not
tire, and death will surely result. The
male native will also try this method
Of revenge for an affront.
The planters know all this and dread
the bamboo hair, but it is always diff
cult to determine whether the dysen-
terry is caused by the poison or comes
about naturally. When planter finds
himself prey to attacks of that COM
plant, his best course is to take voy-
age to Europe.-Pearson's.

pecadence In Penman.hip.

while the people as whole may
write more legibly than they did gen.
Grafton ago." said an old writing teach
er, there are not so many really ex-
cellent penmen. The multiplication of
business colleges has improved the
handwriting Of portion Of the public,
while the invention Of the typewriter
has made it useless to acquire extra
skill in penmanship. Time was when
the first class penmen commanded high
salaries, but now there Is such slight
demand for good writer's that the mar
ket is overstocked. No penman can
compete with typewriter, and so the
art of superior penmanship Is gradual
ly dying out and will soon be lost."-

ARTISTS BLuNDERs.
Some Odd Mistakes That Have Been
Perpetuated ON Canvas.

Perpetuated ON Canvas.
In a letter from an artist and art
writer Of London he speaks Of the
absurd mistakes made by some of the
old masters. In the very pretentious
and also very large portrait Of Queen
Victoria executed by Benjamin Con-
slant the well known French artist
painted the ribbon Of the Order Of the
Garter Of wrong color, and the art
list was much chagrined by the evi-
dence of his own carelessness. Queen
Victoria told him he was using the
wrong color, but he was not convinced.
There is landscape by famous
English painter In which rainbow is
depicted behind the sun, and picture
Of Eden is in the gallery of the Gesu,
In Lisbon, where Adam and Eve are
represented as watching a procession
Of monks.
In the famous galleries Of Antwerp
are certain pictures by old masters in
which the tumble Of ideas is as re-
markable as the technique is fine. In
one picture of heaven the archangels
are armed with bows and arrows, and
In painting of the Murder Of the
Innocents'' the massacre is represent
ed as taking place in a city of Holland.
The parents Of the children are stout
burghers, the Roman soldiers are
Dutch policemen armed with muskets
and the innocent infants are trans
formed into solid schoolboys in bulgy
trousers and jackets and hobnailed
shoes. The effect Is droll.

HE FILLED THE BUCKET.
A Story of Grant When He Was .
"Pleb." at West Point.

"Pleb." at West Point.
There is story told of General Grant
Wien a pleb. He had just entered on
his first day in "pleb." camp. A first
classman who had noticed the boys
strong build intimated to him 1t would
be pleasure to have him call imme-
diately at the seniors tent. Grant
went. There is a rule at West Point,
which was a rule then as well, that any
cadet who asks another to perform
menial labor for him shall be dismissed
from the service. The first classman
knew too much to ask his pleb. visitor
outright to do anything Of the kind,
but here is the way he went at it:
Il presume, Mr.. Grant, that you have
lived on a farm, and, this being the
case. you have had undoubtedly a good
opportunity to note the effect Of the
suns rays on certain objects. Now, II
you had left water bucket that was
innocent of holding single drop of the
fluid out in the sun from its rising to
its sc: .ng. what do you think, sir,
would be the particular effect upon that
particular water bucketT
II think" said Grant, shat it would
get warped and leaky."
every good, Mr.. Grant. You show
erudition beyond your years. Now, If
you will notice my water bucket, you
will see that it is as dry as a chip.
Now, by the further exercise of your
knowledge, Mr.. Grant, can you tell me
by what means I may prevent the
warping and leaking of my bucketT
"Have it filed" saidl Grant.
Every good again, Mr. Grant, but
note that you said have it filed not
fill it. That necessarily means that
some one must fill it for me- You have
shown SO much acumen that fear
to violate your prescription either in
letter or in spirit, which / should do II
l presumed to carry the bucket to the
water tan'; yse'f."
Grant filleo the bucket.

ARTIFICIAL ICE.
Prirc:p pie Upon Which This Commod-
ity Is Manufa ctured.

ity Is Manufa ctured.
The principle upon which the manu-
facture of ice is based is that gas
wien compressed gathers heat enor-
mously, and if robbed Of this heat and
allowed to escape at a future time 1t
seeks to regain its heat by withdraw
ing heat from it's surroundings. Am
monia gas Is generally preferred to
others because 1t can be liquefied with
comparatively little pressure. On re-
moving the water from common am
monia by distillation anhydrous am
monia is obtained. This is compressed
by combined steam pump and COM
pressor, and the resulting hquefaction
induces heat, which is economical by
circulating water about the vessel or
pipe containing the liquefied ammonia.
Thus the ammonia Is cooled and the
heat largely transferred to the water,
which Is then pumped back to the
boiler that supplies the steam pump.
The liquid ammonia is then carried in
pipe to expansion coils that afford
plenty Of room for Its evaporation
when it begins to return to the gaseous
form and to draw heat from its sur.
roundings. which gradually reduces
the temperature. Proper vessels OF
water are placed in contact with the
expansion coils. and In due time Ice
Is formed.

Assorted Voices.

1t is a well known fact that voices
differ greatly according to nationality
and geographical position. Thus, in
Russia one hears male voices which
are absolutely unique in the lowness
of their compass. The Italians, on the
other hand, are notable for their fine
tenor voices. Some Asiatic nations,
according to Engel, sing in shrill notes
by straining the voice to its highest
pitch. Others delight in a kind of
vibrato or tremolando. Some sing
habitually in an undertone, others in
nasal tone.
Lichtenstein, in describing the sing
ing of a Hottentot congregation in
South Africa, observes that among all
the singers, consisting of about 100
Hottentots of both sexes, there was
not one man with a bass or baritone
voice. All the men had tenor voices.
The Chinese voices seem to bear some
resemblance to the weak character of
the people A military man who had
three years service in the country
declares that he never once heard a
Chinaman sing from his chest.-Gen-
tleman's Magazine.

Thought She Was a Calf.

When Nine. Schumann-Heink was
thirteen, her father was transferred to
Gratz. where a singing teacher, Ma
rietta Won Leclair. recognizing the
young girls talent, offered to give her
singing lessons without compensation.
For two years she studied nothing but
solfeggios. Then she began learning
songs. She had a very deep contralto
without any high notes ut that time.
One day a caller, hearing her sing
Schubert's Der Tod und das Mad
chen" in an adjoining, room. said to
her teacher, 'T did not sknow that you
taught young calves"
"She is not young calf" replied
Marietta Won Leclair. 'Some day she
will be great singer.'e Gustav Kobbe

The Antiquity of Wheat.

The Chinese cultivated wheat 2,700
years before the beginning of the Chris
tian era, always considering it as a
gift direct from heaven. Scientific ag-
riculturists are Of the opinion that it
was widely known and cultivated by
prehistoric man. At the present time
it is the principal bread corn Of the
leading European nations and is fast
supplanting the use of maize. or Indian
corn, in the American states. The
Egyptians attributed it's origin to Isis
and the Greeks to Ceres

School Gardens.

Scientific gardening is taught in the
national schools of Sweden and in the
seminarles for the education Of nation

garden in nearly every rural school dis

placed near the schoolhouse, and the
children receive practical instruction in
the cultivation of plants, berries, flow
ers, herbs and fruits, the management
of hotbeds, greenhouses, etc.

Pictorial Wash Lists.

Pretty old inventions are our modern
wash lists. The old German house
wife had an odd way Of keeping track
of the garments she gave out to be
washed. She. had picture Of each
article and wrote down the number Of
everything opposite to 1t with piece
Of chalk, which was rubbed out when
the article was returned, to be used
again the next week. It was really a
pictorial and perpetual wash list.

Our First Canal Lock,

The first canal lock built in America
is preserved as a relic near the present
site of the 500 canal. 1t was built by
the Northwestern Fur company in
1870. 1t is 3S feet long and 8 feet 9
inches wide. 1t had a lift Of nine feet
and a depth Of two and half feet.
During the war Of 1872 It was badly
wrecked. The early day fur companies
used this little waterway to lock down
their small cargoes of valuable furs.
