cOUNTERFEITS DIAMOND.
A Chicago Dealer Tells How All Ex-
cept an Expert May Be
Deceived.

''In these days Of adulteration moth
ing is safe. Even diamonds are doctored
and made to appear to the careless pur-
chaser much more valuable than they
really are" said Chicago expert. NO
body will knowingly purchase a dia-
mond with a flaw in it or one with a
yellow tint in the stone. The diamond
doctor DISCUSSES tint or flaw with the
ease and simplicity of an expert. A lit
tie blue-black ink scientifically applied
gives just the necessary blush radiance;
a little violet solution of transparent
dye touched on with a brush may be
even more effective. If applied on the
exposed part of the stone it soon wears
off; if on part that is hidden or pro-
tected it may last for some time 1t will
not deceive the man who knows the
trade"

TERRAPIN's MEMORY GOOD.
The Story That Was Told by Mary.
land Man of Wonderful Recol-
lection of Pet.

That Br'er Tarrypin has memory is
proved by a story told by Mr.. Young d.
Hance, who owns the birthplace %
Chief Justice fancy, on Battle creek,
in Calvert county.
Mr. Hance, says the Baltimore Sun,
keeps small boat under a mulberry
tree on the shore of the creek, and on
going to the boat early one morning he
noticed dry land terrapin busily en-
gagged in eating few mulberries which
had fallen. Mr. Hance, wishing to as
sist Br'er Tarrypin in getting hi:
breakfast, gathered some mulberries
and pitched them to him one at time.
In very short time the terrapin be-
gan to catch the berries in his mouth
exactly as they were thrown to him.
Every day afterward a slight knock on
the side of the boat would bring the
terrapin out for his mulberries, and
Mr.. Hance often took his friends and
visitors to see his pet
On one occasion a fresh young mar
threw piece of tobacco to the terra
uin instead of mulberry. Br'er larry
pin retired at once in disgust and fol
days afterward refused to come wher
called. Although Mr.. Hance finally in
duced him to come again for his null
berries, Br'er Tarrypin remembered
the tobacco and would never approach
unless Mr.. Hance was alone.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS.
Manufactured by German
Peasants.

"The glass balls of many colors used
to decorate Christmas trees" said a
toy dealer recently to a New York Sun
reporter, "are maze in Germany, some
of them in factories, but more of them
in the homes of people dwelling in
parts of the Thuringian mountains
Among them this trade has been hand
ed down from generation to genera
ton, all the members of the family
working at it in one way or another.
Some member of the household goes
to the nearest town at which this work
is given out, and where the finished
work is collected, and gets a bundle
of the glass tubes from which these
glass balls are blown. More than once
have met these messengers trudging
homeward with bundles of glass tubes,
carried like so many bundles of sticks.
I'm every home where they do this
work they have a suitable furnace for
heating the glass, and at this the one
most proficient sits and blows the pref
ty glass bubbles, which others sort
and pack; and in due time the bright
glass balls thus produced in these
mountain homes are carried back to
the collecting centers, to find their
way thence to other homes all over
the world"

PARSONS "BID"TO DINNER.
Minister to Adopt Unique
Method.

A Springfield (Mass.) clergyman is
telling story of his last vacation which

Brother, won't you come home with

miles from here answered as airily as
possible. For one moment he looked
dumfounded, then he saw the fun of the
situation, and his hard old face broke
into a thousand wrinkles as he grasped
my hand and said: 'Parson. let's go
over to my house for dinner. It's heap
nearer than yourn.'

RUSSIANS A MOTLEY RACE.
Population of Land of Gear Includes
a Dozen Peoples All Differ
ing in Language.

The Russian population is, perhaps
the most mixed of all nations, and is
made up in large measure of conquered
peoples who still remember their over:
throw with bitterness. Probably not
far from one-third of the whole-from
100000 to $4,000 0OO-are true Mus
covites.
Around the central Muscovites are
grouped Lapps, Firms, Germans, Lithu-
anians, Ruthenians, Roumanians,
Greeks, Georgians and Tartars, with
Jews and Gypsies scattered through the
south and west. These are all in Euro
pean Russia, and this is nothing to the
medley in Asiatic Russia, where there
is an almost endless variety of races.
Each of the races mentioned speaks a
different tongue, and there are at least
six different religions among them,
without counting sectaries, such as the
Dukhobors. Bitter political hatred of
Russia burns fiercely among the Firms,
Poles and Armenians, while symptoms
of active revolt are reported among
Georgians and Turcomans along tn
Asiatic frontier.

THOUGHT ALL SAW DOUBLE.
Wife of Kansas Cattleman Has Queer
Experience-Cure Finally
Effected.

A remarkable story, according to the
Kansas City Journal, can be verified
by a well-known oculist in Kansas
sity. In one of the counties Of west
I'm Kansas is a cattleman who has
srown wealthy. His wife, charming
Woman of some 40 years, recently be-
ian to have severe headaches. A local
MUSICIAN decided that the trouble was
With her eyes. The family could not
,elieve it, as she had very keen sight
rom both far and near. However, the
husband took her to an oculist in Kan
as City for expert examination. In
he course of the examination the pro-
essional man held up a candle and
lsked her what she saw. Il see the
wo lights she answered calmly.
'Two!" exclaimed the surprised hus-
land. Have you always seen two of
ne when you looked at me?" why,
certainly, dear" was the answer.
Don't you always see two of me?"
And then came the revelation that
his educated, intelligent woman had
lever known in all her 40 years of life
hat everybody didn't see double. She
lad accepted her own condition as a
natter of course. 1t instantly &C
counted to the husband for little indefi
lite movements which he had fire.
Iuently observed in his wife when she
was reaching for an object, and it was
| matter of great establishment to the
woman when by an adjustment OF
glasses and through treatment she be-
gan to see as other people do.

CAVIAR Is VERY SCARCE.
Few Sturgeon Caught by New Jersey
Coast Fishermen and Price
Advances.

The catch of sturgeon last year was
small, and this spring the fishermen were
even less successful.
Most of the fishermen were at work
for three weeks without catching sim
gle sturgeon. The entire company of
600 fishermen did not average six stur-
geon day.
There have been seasons when the
shipment of caviar from Bayside, N j.,
to the European markets has amounted
to more than 500 kegs; but unless there
is big run of fish shortly less than one
third of that amount will be produced
this year.
At the rate at which caviar is now ad-
vancing in price all previous records
promise to be broken. The present price
is 95 cent a pound on the wharf, which
IS equal to $120 keg.

1t is very noticeable that in competi-
ton you will see as many forms as you
see competitors. The single turn used
by so many men is fast growing into
diSuSe. 1t seems that the one and one
half turn, regardless of position in de-
livery, is just as far from the correct
position. Every athlete in the west who

them all save the one little thing which

was required to throw the discus, I
would never hold the records that I do

Funny how l happened to begin throw

it. l threw it all right-4O feet Six
weeks later broke the state record at

6 inches. Just the old, old story of the
man fallen into his right place. That is
the only branch of athletics ever did
anything in at all. The same year set
the conference record of 11S feet inches.

Gus, threw it 125 feet inches at the
