IRISH PROVERBS.

The proverbs of nation are the dis titled wit of generations of. it's people, and the true wit of the race is often- times in proportion to the truth and beauty of it's proverbs. Few nations and few languages possess more beau tfful sayings than the Irish. "The si- lent mouth is melodlous," is an Irish aphorism pregnant with beauty and po- etry. And another saying, intoxicating a charity which is spiritually needed in this modern world of ours is that which tells us "Our eyes should be blind in the abode of another" The beautiful faith and the magnificent optimism of thre Irish race are well pictured in their proverb, "God never shuts one door but He opens two." Autumn days come softly, quickly, like the running of a hound upon a moor" is a sharp, satiricaI one that cuts several ways at the same time: "A poem oughtito be well made. at first, for there is many a one to spoil it afterwards. --Leslie's Monthly.

 The universal interest awakened by experiments with that wonderful new property of matter, radio-activfty, has served to make, the, world of readers generally aware of the fact, that sug- gests, may be to cause a chemical as we'll asa physical change, and he adds that if the yellowish hue be due to the presence in the diamond of iron in the ferrie state reduction to the ferrous state would quite account for the change of color. I may be said by way of explanation, that iron In the ferric state shows a yellowish or red dish color, and in the ferrous state a greenish or bluish color. "
 This discovery is one of the most in- teresting as well as most unexpected that has yet been made concerning the effects of the radiuan emanations. The Investigating chemist, interested princi-' pally in the purely scientific aspects of the phenomenon, is not likely to care very much about the possible results on the diamond market, but possessors of off-color stones may comfort them selves with the thought that science has possibly found way to increase the value as well as the beauty of their jewels, although in the present stae of the matter it would perhaps cost more to "cure'' cheap stone, by a course of medium treatment than to exchange it for better one.-Success.
