limitations Now Can Only Be Detected
by Experts.

Glass or paste" as It 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
stones excepting the emerald (whose
beautiful green tint cannot be exact
ly obtained), the cats-eye, which has
a peculiar ibrous 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
ing and "dulling" of face and edge.
Even our Anglo-Saxon ancestors, as
saw a week ago in the fine collec.
ton recently dug up at Ipswich
by Miss Layard, made gems of
glass and paste, says writer in the
London Telegraph. 1t is only in mod
ern times that the art of making ar
tificial precious stones" had reached
a degree of perfection which, so far
as decorative purposes are concerned
leaves the natural stones no claim to
superiority.

Wild Boar Hard Fiqhter.

For sheer deviltry and insane feroc-
ity the boar stands pre-eminent and
for courage he has no equal among
animals. A wild boar charging has
been known to bring an elephant down
on its knees, and one we'll authen-
ticated fight is recorded between a
boar and a full growf tiger in which
the boar more than held it's own.
Tigers have the greatest respect for
wild boars and treat them according
ly. In matter of speed the horse has
not yet been foaled which can catch
boar in it's first burst. 1 have seen
a man on thoroughbred Arab try to
cut out boar in breaking back to
cover, and the boar literally walked

ROMANCE ENDS IN HAPPINESS.
Childhood Sweethearts Meet at New
Orleans and Are Married.

A romance which began in their ma
tive land when both were children,
and long before they dreamed of COM
ing to America to seek their fortunes,
eliminated in the wedding of Antonio
Hervatin and Joana Rumin of Pain,
Austria, says the New Orleans Plea
yune. They came over on the Sofia
Hohenberg. Antonio is a farmer, and
he came to look for land which he
could cultivate and later build home
upon. Joana came to New Orleans
expecting to obtain employment as a
servant; but when the time came for
them to part at the ships side it was
more than Antonio could stand and
harder than Joana had dreamed, and
then it was that love asserted its rule,
and they decided to cast their fortunes
together. Stephen Jozsa, assistant Sec
retary at the state immigration bu-
beau, went with them to the st. Louis
cathedral, where they were made man
and wife by Mong. Laval. Radiant
as children in their new-found happi-
ness, bride and groom left for Laurel
Hill, in West Feliciana, where they
were taken by Miss Stuart to work on
the sugar estate of Mr.. Henry Stewart.

CALF ENTERED AN OBJECTION.
Why One Milking Machine Was Never

Inventive genius seldom achieves
grown boy in Pennsylvania, who had
devoted his leisure hours for many
months to the making Of a milking
machine Of his own devising. at last
completed it to his satisfaction and
resolved to make a trial of it. With
out saying word to anyone he car
ried his machine down from the attic,
where he had wrought patiently day
after day to bring it to perfection, and
took it out to the barnyard, where
old Cherry, the family COW, stood
placidly chewing her cud with her big.
lusty calf playing round her. A few
minutes later his mother saw him try
ing to re-enter the house unseen. He
was covered with dirt from head to
foot and in state Of decentralization
generally. In his hand he was car
rying something that looked like the
wreck of toy battleship. For
mercy's sake, Jud," she exclaimed,
what have you been doing?" I've
been trying my milking machine on
the cow" he said. Your milking ma
chine! Good land, Did the COW do
all that to you?" NO." answered
Jud. "Old Cherry would have stood
for it all right. 1t was the calf that

Lonq-Winded Preachers.

The seventeenth-century puritan
preachers talked for two hours or
more, not 'by the clock" but by the
hour-glass. At least one of them
turned the glass to humorous account.
He found himself no further than the
middle of the sermon when the sands
had run out. Drunkenness" was his
subject, and, reversing the horologe,
Lets have another glass;" said he.
Sir Roger L'Estrange tells of parish
clerk who sat patiently until the
preacher was three-quarters through
his second glass, and the majority Of
his hearers had quietly left the church.
Rising at convenient pause, he
asked the minister to close the church
door when he had done, "and push
the key under it, as he and the few
that remained were about to retire. "
