TEST FOR DIAMONDS.
How to Tell When a Stone Is Genuine
or Not.

OF NOts
Few persons" writes London
jeweler, ARE willing to trust to their
own knowledge and observation in
purchasing diamonds. Even pawn
brokers, who spend their lives in han
ding precious stones, are often cheat
ed. Although to become an expert is
the development of a special gift
through years Of experience. there are
a few simple tests which will aid a
buyer of diamonds.
"One test is to prick a needle hole
through card and look at the hole
through the doubtful stone. If the
latter is spurious two holes will be
seen, but if it is a diamond only one
hole will he visible. Every imitation
stone which resembles diamond
gives Il double reflection while the
genuine diamonds reflection is single
This is delicate test, because it is
difficult to see even Il sharp and well
defined object through Il diamond. The
single rcfraction of the gem also al
lows one to determine an uncertain
stone. If the finger is placed behind it
and viewed through the stone with n
Watchmaker'S glass the grain of the
skin will be plainly seen if the stone is
not diamond. But if it is a diamond
the grain of the skin will not be dis
tinguished at ALL"

How to Clean Ribbon Ties For Shoes.

How to Clean Ribbon Ties For Shoes.
The broad ribbon ties that are worn
In low shoes are a matter Of no small
expense If woman wants to have
them always trim and neat looking
and one way to accomplish this with
out having to invest frequently in new
ribbons Is to launder them whenever
they begin to look bedraggled. They
should be stretched out on a fiat sur
face and scrubbed with soap and a
stiff brush until they are perfectly
clean. Holding an end of the tie in
each hand. stretch it tightly and allow
the water to run over it until the soap
is rinsed out. Then shake the ribbons
well, put between two or three thick
nesses of towel and keep smooth I'M
til almost dry, when they may be hung
up until entirely dry. Apart from fresh
ening the ribbons the fact of taking
them out of the shoes frequently makes
them last longer, as it is not likely
that they are put back in exactly the
same way, and the strain on the ribbon
from the eyelets does not thus come in
the same places each time.

How to Clean a Clock.

One woman who doctors her own
timepiece advises the following for a
clock which refuses to go.
'"Take off the hands, the face the
pendulum and its wire. Remove ratch-
ct from the tick wheel and the clock
will run down with great velocity
Let it go. TIL. increasing speed wears
away the gum and dust from the pin
ions-the clock cleans itself. Put
sperm oil on the aXles. Put the ma
chine together, and nine times out of
ten 1t will run just as well as If it had
been taken to the shop. If instead Of
pendulum the clock has a watch es-
capement, this latter can be taken out
in an instant without taking the works
apart, and the result is the same"
