Tests of Diamonds.

Most persons are obliged, in the
purchase of a diamond, to rely i'm.
plicitly upon the word Of the man who
sells the stone. While many years of
observation and experience are needed
70 become an expert with respect
70 the value and purity of diamonds,
vet there are certain extremely sim
pie tests capable of being made by the
most inexperienced.
One is by means OF a needle hole
pricked through a piece of ordinary
cardboard. Looking through the stone
tested at the cardboard, one will see
two holes If the diamond be spurious
only n If the gem be genuine. The
reason for this is that an imitation
diamond will give a double refraction,
the real stone but one ~refraction.
1t is claimed that there is no acid
having any perceptible effect upon a
genuine diamond. Hydrofuoric acid

SKIN ROUGH AS BARK.
Baby Boy Had Intense itching Humor
Scratched Till Blood Ran.
Found a Cure in Cuticura.

"Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with a rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks / took him
to the doctor but it got worse. The
rash ran together and made large
blisters. The little fellow didn't want
to do anything but scratch and we had
to wrap his hands up to keep him
from tearing the flesh open till the
blood would run. The itching was in
tense. The skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark Of a
tree. He suffered intensely for about
three months. But found a remedy
in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment. The result was almost mag.
ical. That was more than two years
ago and there has not been the slight
est symptom of it since he was cured.

Vice-President Sherman Presides Over the Senate--Nu-
merous Bills Designed to Garry Out President Tafts
Policies Are INTRODUCED in Both Houses.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

from the Senate, Speaker Cannon ap-
pointed a committee to Join a like
committee of the Senate to wait upon
the president. The members of the
body directed to notify Mr.. Taft that
the House was in session were by the
appointment OF the speaker, the Re-
publican leader, Serene f. Payne, and
the Democratic leader, Champ Clark.
The first day in the House as usual
brought out hundreds of legislative
measures in bill! form, all of which
were cad by their title only and then
referred to the proper committees. 1t
was evident from the tone Of the bills
introduced that some scores of rep
r~esentatives were anxious to father
measures which had been recommend,
ed by President Taft as being neces.
sary to carry out proposed policies
of progression. The lis ranged from
those intended to correct alleged ex.
listing evils in interstate commerce to
those to give increases Of pensions to
veterans of the civil war.

BALL|NGER REPORTS

TELLS OF WORK OF HIS
DEPARTMENT.
STILL AFTER LAND THIEVES
Urges Continuation Of Vigorous Prose
cution and a Reclassification Of the
Public Domain-Issuance OF Recla-
nation Fund Bonds Advised-The
Indian Bureau.

Washington, Nov. 2s.-The annual
report to the president of Richard A.
Ballinger, secretary of the interior.
was made public today and makes in
teresting reading. The report covers
a portion Of the time under the ad-
ministration of James r. Garfield, n
Mr.. Ballinger gives him credit for his
earnest and Efficient services.
Secretary Ballinger comments on
the old public land statutes, and n
tinues:
The liberal and rapid disposition OF
the public lands under these statutes
and the lax methods of administration
which for a long time prevailed nat
urally provoked the feeling that the
public domain was legitimate prey for
the INSCRIPTIONS and that 1t was no
crime to violate or circumvent the
land laws. 1t is to be regretted that
we, as a nation, were so tardy to real
ize the importance of preventing so
large a measure of our natural re-
sources passing into the hands of land
pirates and spectators, with no view
to development looking to the national
welfare.
