the Widow Duval-a woman who en-
loved and deserved the reputation Of
being the fastest talker and the best
maker of gihelotte in the whole loctllity.
He sat down alone in the inn-parlor
and occupied the time, while his hostess
had gone to fetch the half-bottle Of
wine that he ordered in examining a
dirty old card which he extricated from
a mass of papers in hts pocket book,
and which bore written on it these
lines:
when the troubles are over, do not
forget those who remember you with
eternal gratitude. Stop at the first
post-station beyond Meaux. on the
high-road to Paris, and ask at the inn
for Citizen Maurice. whenever you wish
to see us or to hear of us again.
Pray" inquired Lomaque, putting
the card in his pocket when the Widow
Duval brought in the wine, "can you
inform me whether person named
Maurice lives anywhere in this neigh
borhood?"
Can I inform you?" repeated the
voluble widow. "Of course can! Citi-
zen Maurice, and the cheyenne, his

Evening came. The prisoners meal

death-list had been read in public at the
CRATE; the cell doors were all locked.
From the day of their arrest, Rose and

maque's intercession, had been confined
together in one cell; and together they
now awaited the dread event of the

sPoILs OF AUSTRIAN COURT.
How They Are Divided Among the Al

tendant sUpon Royalty.
Court etiquette in Austria is more
stringent than in other European
courts.
The attendants come in for large
perquisites, as comestible articles are
never allowed to appear twice on the
royal tables. 1t must be a good thing
to be one of these attendants, as to one
man falls all the uncOrked bottles, to
another the wine left in the glasses,
and the game, fish, and sweets are
equally divided in the same way.
Each morning a market is held in
the basement of the palace, where the
Viennese come to purchase the re-
mains of the banquet.
This custom is a revival of one that
obtained great favor in the Middle
Ages. Then the great lords of the land
were not above accepting the remains
Of feast and the lord chancellor was
entitled to the ends of one large candle
and forty small ones each day.
He in his turn made capital of this
perquisite and undoubtedly his ex-
chequer was greatly increased by it at
the end Of the year.

HOW TO TEST A DIAMOND.
A Grindstone Should Make No Impress
sion Upon 1t.

a GrindStOne should MAKE NO impress
sion Upon It.
The safest way to determine the
genuineness of a diamond Is to test it's
hardness The simplest test is to hold
the stone firmly against wet, rapidly
revolving grindstone from five to ten
minutes If the least mark appears up
on the piece it is not diamond, for il
it were diamond, SO far from any
mark being produced on it, it would
be likely, on the other hand, to make
deep impression in the grind stone.
The same test may be made with
emery paper, or an emery Wheel
neither of which, although harder than
a grindstone, will make any impression
upon a diamond.
This is a good thing for one to re-
member in these days Of manufactured
diamonds. The paste article is made
with such care that it sometimes tests
the skill of the expert to distinguish
the genuine from the bogus, but if the
grindstone is brought into play there
can be no room for doubt. Some peo-
pie think that if they rub stone
against glass and it makes deep i'm
preston it is a diamond. Some paste
articles will scratch glass and the imi-
tation of sapphires, rubies and emer-
aids will do the same.
Regarding the hardness of diamonds,
an expert says: "In 1886 I made an
experiment. The stone here was
round piece of Brazilian bort, with
radiated internal structure. 1t was
kept on a polishing wheel made OF bard
iron with a diameter of one foot, for
seven and one-half hours day for nine
months. the wheel turning at the rate
of $500 to 5000 revolutions per minute,
and giving three feet of travelling sur
face to the stone. The total distance
traversed was ITO, 1000 miles, or about
seven times the circumference of the
globe. but the result was the polishing
of only about one square centlmeter
of surface. With an ordinary diamond
fully a hundred times as much would
have been accomplished"
So if man wants to sell real dla-
mond. and he knows that it is gen
uine. he will not be afraid to test it on
a. grindstone.-Lo Angeles Herald. i

called Drago doctrine, which former
Secretary Of State John ". Foster dc
clarcd was first originated by Alex
ander Hamilton more than hundred
years ago. William Barnes, Sr, of Nan

Endorsement of the Drago doctrine, was
referred to the executive committee.
