How to Tell Perfect Diamond.

A diamond to have the maximum

a diamond should be perfectly round.

Courage Most Needed.

The greater part of the courage
that is needed in the world is not Of
an heroic kind. Courage may be dis
played in every day life as well as in
historic fields of action. There needs,
for example, the common courage to
be honest, the courage to resist temp

the courage to be what we really are.
and not to pretend to be what Swe
are not, the courage to live honestly
within our means.-Smiles.
