A Mans Tact.

Nobody but Mr. Henley would have
asked such question In the first place.
"Mlss Farley" he said, ''if you
could make yourself over what kind
OF hair and eyes would you haveT
"If l could make myself over" said
Miss Farley. II would look just ex-
actly as do now"
"You would?" exclaimed Henley in
honest surprise, and, to this day he
can't understand why Miss Farley
thinks him a man Of little taste and
less tact.

by Experts.

Glass or paste" as 1t is called, is
made which cannot when new be dis
tinguished from diamonds by any one
but an expert armed with the neces-
sary tests. And the same is true as
to paste limitations of all precious
o excepting the emerald Whose
beautiful green tint cannot be exact,
ly obtained), the cat's-eye. which has
a peculiar fibrous structure, and the
opal. The real value and quality Of
precious stones as compared with
glass depends on their durability. their
hardness, their resistance to scratch

Even our Anglo-Saxon ancestors, as I

ton recently dug up at Ipswich
by Miss Layard, made gems Of
