BUYING RUelEs in BURMA.

A Peculiar Method of Bargaining for
the Precious Stones,
The peculiar business methods of
Oriental merchants are illustrated by
the manner of buying rubies in Bur
ma. In the examination of rubies ar
tificial light is not used, the mer-
chants holding that fNll sunlight
alone can bring out the color and bril-
liancy of the gems. Sales must, there
fore, take place between 8 a. m. and
p M, and the sky must be clear.
The purchaser, placed near a win
dow, has before him a large copper
plate. The sellers come 10 him one bv
one, and each empties upon this plate
his little bag of rubies. The purchaser
proceeds to arrange them for valua-
ton in a number of small heaps. The
first division is into three grades. ac-
cording to size; each of these grouDs
is again divided into three piles. ac
cording to color, and each of these
piles, in turn, is again divided into
three groups, according to shape. The
bright copper plate has a curious use.
The sunlight reflected from it through
the stones brings out, with true rubies.
a color effect different from that with
red spinels and tourmalines, which are
thus easily separated.
The buyer and seller then go through
a very peculiar method of bargaining
by signs, or rather grips, in perfect ST.
lence. After agreeing upon the fair
ness Of the classification, they Join
their right hands. covered with a hand
kerchief or the flap of garment, and
by grips and pressures mutually under
stood among all these dealers they
make, modify and accept proposals of
purchase and sale. The hands are
then uncovered and the prices are re-
corded.-Jewelers Circular Weekly.

MY countenance fell, and she observ-
ed it. for she went on in compassion
ate tone: "But it is so hard to have no
friend--no one to speak to, and no EN-
ployment! / am so much better oil than
you! have d good, kind friend to talk
to, and to be good to me, in Mrs. WIZ
son; and then l have plenty of work
You shall come and see me, and LII coax
her to be good to you"
1t was now quite dark. l could have
fingered there all night listening to her
voice, gazing upon her face. But she
held out her hand. pressed it, and
we parted.
But l could not quit the street. lin

quite uneasy, for l had never before

that l had lost my way.
why, you don't mean to say you've
been wandering about ever since? Where
ever could you have got to? How flush
ed you look! Whatever have you been
doing? never saw you look like it be-
fore"

and tasteless in my mouth. l was over
excited. l was conscious, however, that
Mr.. Montgomery had again scanned me
with the same scrutinizing gaze that had
made me so uncomfortable the first
morning / met him. l had scarcely seen
him OF Josiah since. l was usually out
before they were up in the morning, and
in bed before they returned from the
theater at night. They were unusually
early that evening, and l was unusual
ly late.
''You can write a round, plain hand,
can't you, Mr.. Carston?" at length said
Mr.. Montgomery. "Then you're just
the man want. 1 can give you some
copying to do. The pay is small, but
little, perhaps, may be better than
nothing, until you get something more
profitable to do

at the unexpected offer. The nature Of

heart. / should rise the next morning

good angel of my destiny; she had saved
my life, and hope had at last dawned
upon me. | fell asleep thinking Of her,
and her image followed me throughout
the night Eagerly did await the ris-
ing of Mr., Montgomery next morning.
He takes a great interest in you"
said Martha. He's always asking me
if you've got anything to do yet, or any
prospect and he drops in other sly ques-
tons now and then. Mr.. Fitzwalton
seems to have told him all he knows"
1t was IL o'clock before I sat down
to my work. / soon understood what l
had to do, and set about it with a hearty
good will
There! didn't tell you. Master SiIas,
that when things come to the worst
they're sure to mend? p cried Martha.
You did," l said, pressing her hand
II was heather to doubt it."
She little knew how fatal that doubt
had like to have become. When Josiah
and Mr.. Montgomery returned at night
my task was completed.
