HOW TO TELL THE
 PERFECT DIAMOND

A diamond to have the maximum beauty and brilliancy must be per feet in cut and form. First the table of diamond should be per fectly round The table is the very top of the diamond; from 1t the stone spreads to the glrdle, which is the point of It's contact with the setting From the girdle it di- minishes underneath the setting to a point called the culet. To be perfect a stone, when an imaginary line is drawn through it up and down, should be one-third as thick above the girdle as 1t Is below.
 There has been no improvement on this cutting In thirty years.

 Printed matter may be removed from cotton sacks by first washing them, then soaking over night in kerosene and Ie-washing,
 To keep cut flowers fresh cut the stalks slanting, and stand in vases filled with water to which a pinch of carbonate of soda has been added.
 Charcoal is a capital disinfectant. Keep a dish Of it in the larder, and the food kept there will not quickly taint.
 If after sc~uhbing out the cupboard it is then sprinkled with water in which tobacco has been steeDed, and then with & little spirits of cam phor, moths will never appear.
 To prevent runs" and ladders" in stockings, sew a piece of tape to the top of the stockings to hold the garters. This lengthens the life of the stocking and prevents the ladders
 For cleaning water bottles, de- canters and glass jugs, cut lemon into small pieces, put into bottle with little water and shake Cut potatoes are also good,
 Two or three Jumps of sugar placed in kettles and teapots will absorb all moisture and will pre- vent rust and the rusty smell which is the result of their being left to dry
 Sometimes boot polish becomes quite dry with keeping. Moisten it with a little turpentine. It softens the polish, making it usable at once, and also gives a good gloss to the leather.

An excellent way to finish arm holes in a tine lingerie blouse is to sew the sleeves in by machine, then buttonhole around the edges with either coarse thread or soft floss
 A new fancy Is to have white wash petticoats of pique or poplin closely fitted to the figure and finished around the bottom edge with embroidered scallops. Such a skirt Is daintier less expensive and more durable than those made Of silk and are worn with tailored suits and closely fitting light weight dresses.
 A nice finish for the lingerie wash ribbon, which will prevent 1t from pulling through the eyelets, is to fasten a tiny rosette of valen- clennes lace at each end of the ribbon. This looks very pretty when the ribbon Is tied and the rosettes can be laundered without being re- moved the same as the wash ribbon.
 Blanket stitch, as the name i'm plies, is the stitch which is used to protect the edge of blankets; in fact, 1t is used on any material which is too heavy to turn under. This stitch Is also used for the edge of flannel skirts and is sometimes used in conjunction with hem to

The Best Thing
For Dyspepsia
WHY PEPSiN, PANCREATiN, ETC.,
so FREQUENTLY FAIL.

An international specialist whose arti-
cles on stomach trouble have been print
ed in nearly every language. recently
stated that to treat the average case Of
stomach trouble, indigestion, dyspepsia.
etc, by doctoring the stomach killing
the pain with opiates, or by the use of
artificial aids to digestion such as pep
sin and pancreatin. was just as foolish
: and useless as to attempt to put out a
/. fire by throwing water on the smoke,
. instead of the fire. He claims, and facts
seem to justify his claim. that nearly
nine -tenths of all stomach trouble is due
to acidity and food fermentation; and
that the only way in which to secure
permanent relief is to get rid of the
cause, i. e. to neutraliZe the acid and
stop the fermentation. For this purpose
he strongly recommends the plan now
generally adopted throughout Europe of
taking a teaspoonful of ordinary Disurat-
ed magnesa in little water Immediately
after eating or whenever pain is felt.
This Immediately neutraliZes the acid,
, stops the fermentation and permits the
stomach to do it's work in a normal man
! ner and thus by removing the cause, en-
: ables nature to quickly restore the in
) famed stomach lining to perfectly
healthy natural condition. For the con-
venience of travellers it may be noted
: that most druggists are now able to
supply bsurated magnesia in grain tab
: lets, 2 or 3 Of which will almost instant
sly relieve the most violent attacks of in
