D@ocToRING A DIAMOND.
Trick That Makes a Yellow Stone Al.

49, ~ 0RS
pear Clear Blue White.
Let me show you a little trick that I
would advise you not to put into prac-
tice, said a jewel fancier to a number
of friends the other day.
The conversation had turned to dia-
monds during the midday luncheon,
and the expert had been holding forth
on his favorite subject. The little
group of st. Louisans were interested
still more when the speaker drew a
big solitaire from his finger and beck
oned a waiter across the cafe.
Bring me a glass Of water and an
indelible pencil" said he when the
servitor came over to the table.
"This is a trick that is essentially
crooked" said the jewel fancier, land
will get by nine times out Of ten wen
when the examiner is an expert at
Judging precious stones and detecting
trickery. 1t will make a yellow off
color diamond look like q stone of the
very first water. Pawnbrokers in
Vulnerable have been fooled by this
same trick, as it is extremely difficult
to detect even with a powerful glass;"
The expert took the pencil and allow
ed the indelible lead to dissolve in
the glass of water. In a couple of
minutes the water was as blue as indi-
go water.
Nov WATCH" said the man who
knew the lore of jewels.
He took the ring and dropped it into
the glass. Its brilliancy was dimmed
by the hazy. blush water until it look
ed like a dead stone.
"Now. you noted" said the demon.
strator. that the diamond I placed in
there was a bit yellow. It will be a
clear blush white when it m out
of its BATH"
At the end of a minute the stone was
taken out The top of the gem was
dried with a soft handkerchief and
then the ring was waved to and fro
for a few moments. It was held up
for inspection. Not a CLEAN of yellow
was to be seen. The stone was ap-
parently a magnificent blue white gem
that any n would be proud to own
and loathe to pledge.
1T is the blue pigment deposited on
the back of the stone that has made
the difference" said the jewel expert.
1.-The deposit is so flmy that a strong
glass cannot detect it. You cannot see
1t from the rear of the mounting and
only a bath Of alcohol will remove it.
1t will stay on the gem for weeks If it
is not removed in that way. It used
to be a favorite trick Of many folks
who now and again had to put a dia-
mond into the hands of a pawnbroker.
1.-The trick is called 'doctoring a
stone.' but. as l said in the beginning,
l would not advise you to try it. l
dom know what the law on such
matters is in Missouri. but there are
states where a person convicted of
such an offense would serve a lone
penitentiary term for his cleverness."-

II SAW I'll K AFTER ME-
a dead Confederate soldier he'd seer
in the woods, and l asked him to get
me his clothes. They were nothing
but butternut, but there was a brass
belt buckle and some other things with
G. S. A. on them, and that served me
as we'll as a uniform.
II started to travel nights and lie hid
among the niggers in daytime. In the
morning after starting, when the dawn
was breaking and I was looking about
for a retiring place, I came upon a
railroad station. A locomotive was
standing on a side track coupled to
two or three empty freight cars. The
fire was burning low and there was
some steam on. 1 judged that the n
gineer and fireman had arrived not
long before and turned in either in the
houses that were scattered about.
II lived rear a railroad yard as a
boy and used to get the engineers to
let me run with them, sometimes fir
ing for them; so I knew something
about a locomotive. 1 got up into the
cab, opened the furnace door and saw
that the fire was nearly out. 1 calcu-
lated the possibility Of getting a ride
northward on the machine. but I'd
have to fire up before trying it. l
was pretty desperate and ready for
any risk. So I dropped n lump OF
coal after another into the fire box,
not daring to make the noise Of shov-
cling it in. I worked half an hour at
this, and concluded that whoever was
running that engine must be pretty
sleepy. for no one appeared to inter-
fere with me. I should have raked out
the ashes, but I didn't dare do that,
for the noise it would make. Pretty
soon the steam began to make a noise
escaping, and l didn't dare defer my
departure any longer. I uncoupled the
box cars, mounted the cab and made
as noiseless a start as possible.
my heart was beating wildly, I keep
ing my eye to the rear. but when I
came to a turn around a rise in the

me I gathered courage and let her go.
1 got over some five miles in about
fifteen minutes, when 1 stopped and,
taking a file from a tool box in the
cab, climbed a telegraph pole and cut
the wires. This was to keep any one
from heading me off.

How Artificial Furs Are Made.

sNNSs
The raw pieces Of pelt are frozen
and the skin carefully shaved off,
thawed and sent to the tanneries to
be made into leather. The frozen fur
which remains is allowed to thaw
slightly at the bottom. so that a small
part of the hair is freed from ice.
This thawed portion is then covered
with a solution of rubber. which is
allowed to set.
The result Is that large seamless
pieces of fur are obtained much
cheaper than those which come with
the natural skin. These same arti6-
cial furs are said to be more lasting
than the real. because they are i'm
mune from the attacks of MOTHS

Stories about the war between the
states are getting scarce-that is, sto.
rtes told by men who enacted the
events narrated. Time was when vet
Grams used to meet and swap yarns by
the dozens-all true too. But now
they are too old to get together very
often and when they do they find their
memories are so defective that it is
difficult for them to get through a con-
tinuous narrative. They mix up dates
and places and armies so that it spoils
the story.
A veteran whose hair was white as
snow, whose cheeks were hollow, told
me this story. 1t was difficult for me
to realize that he was the same man
who as n boy nearly half a century ago
took part in the adventure he narrated.
I'D been a prisoner of war so long,"
he said, that l felt ia rather die than
stay any longer in that prison pen. So
one dark night 1 got two men to stand
up against the fence, the one on the
others shoulders, and I climbed up
to the shoulders Of the top man,
clutched the fence and got on top of it.
How I did It l don't know, for I'd had
little or nothing to eat for months and
was l'eak as a kitten. I dropped over
into 1T mud, and luckily the sentry
didn't Lear me; If he had I'd have been
