HINTS FOR DIAMOND BUYERS
Some Things to Remember About the
Most Popular Of All the Worlds
Precious Stones.

"A diamond Of the first water should
be entirely colorless and transparent,
without any inclusion or flaw" says
The Scientific American. ut is of the
second water IL Il is colorless, with
but unimportant faults, or II II is with
out faults but with some traces OF
color; and third water If 1t is colorless,
but with larger faults, or II IL is dis
tinctly colored The correct valuation
Is therefore very difficult and often
subject to the jewelers. Judgment. For
this reason Professor Rosiwal gives to
the layman the following hints: Stones
of the first water are carried only by
the highest class jewelers.. The requi-
site is perfect lack of color, or--what
is more highly prized-a tinge Of blue.
In general, beautifully colored dia-
monds command fabulous prices and
are to be found only In the treasure
vaults of princes
"Stones Of the second water are nu-
merous. They are supposed to be mi
croscopically pure, but almost always
show some inelusions.
There are ofteDtimes traces Of yell
low color in this grade, and because
this can be seen best in sunlight one
should never buy diamonds at night,
for the prevailing lights cause stones
that are even noticeably yellowish to
appear clear. Most of the stones of
the ordinary market are Of the third
quality, and the dealers try to cover
up their faults by combining them Into
groups for border stones or for the
popular pendants, diamond hearts,
marquise rings, etc. While they may
be colorless, they are often so full of
flaws that they would be ranked as
bort or diamonds good only for me-
chanical purposes, if there had not
been such demand for gems as to in
crease the price"

Antiquity Of Low Visibility"

'In the fighting with the armada)
on the 23d of July (15SS) the Span
iards' shots flew, for the most part,
over the heads of The English, with
out doing execution. The reason Of
this was ttat the English ships, beiGs
far less than the enemy's, made the
attack with more quickness and agiL
ity; and when they had given a broad
side they presently sheered off to
convenient distance and leveled their
shot so directly at the bigger and more
unwieldly ships of the Spaniartls as
seldom to miss their aim. Their ships
far exceeded ours in number and bulk
and were much stronger and higher
built, and we presented not so greaha
target for their fire. HN

ALMOST LIMIT OF MEANNESS
Pretty Hard to "lmprove" on These
Two Specimens Of Real closeness
That Are Vouched For.

There is a very old story extanl
about a Connecticut woman who was
noted for her meanness. She cheap.
ened everything, and prices never
could be put so low that she did not
object to them.
One day she went through the mar.
ket, and after chaffering for awhile,
stopped in front of a market stall and
priced some cornmeal.
"A levy bushel," said the dealer.
She shifted and examined, and
humn1ed and hawed, until finally the
dealer said, sarcastically:
Il tell you what I'll do, Mrs. Jen.
kins. I'll give you a bushel of that
meal"
Mrs. Jenkins shifted and examined
again, and then asked:
rs it sifted?"
This is paralleled by the account of
a Maine man who went into market to
buy a small piece of liver.
How much?" he asked.
Il will make you a present of that"
said the butcher, pleasantly.
The man put on his most knowing
look, stepped back, rubbed his hands
together. looked the butcher square in
the eye, and said:
Amt that rather high?"

Small Thinus.

AS with music, so with poetry 1t is
the little things that pay. Many an
Indifferent composer has made more
out of single song or waltz than Sir
Edward Elgar has made out of "The
Dream Of Gerontius," and many a poet
has received more for a brief lyric
than he can hope to get for work that
may have cost him months or years of
labor. Indeed, volume of verse often
makes less for the author than he re-
ceives for three or four pieces printed
In magazines or newspapers. 1t is the
same with less exalted matters. The
inventor Of patent collar stud or boot
protector will make more money than
the inventor of something that really
benefits the human race. The little
thing that every one wants is the thing
that pays, whether in trade or art.
Heroic accomplishment has the heroic
reward Of starvation.

INDIA THE LAND OF CASTE
memorable Rules Of Living, Which Are

-Four years ago, up in the northwest
of India, a child belonging to a
Brahmin family fell into a we'll All
the men of the family we're away, and
the women were helpless. The servant
known as the sweeper very low
caste man-offered to climb down into
the we'll and rescue the child. His
suggestion was regarded by the won.
en- as scandalous, for his touch would
have defiled the drinking water of the
household and also the drowning boy.
Hence the little fellow was left in the
well, to be fished out dead some time
later by the clean hands of Brahmin.
Rather death than defilement from the
touch of an 'untouchable!"
At present there are upward of 49,.
900 castles and subcastes in India, most
of them belonging to one of the three
groups known as Brahmins, Shudras
and Outcasts. individuals belonging
to the latter of these groups are con-
sidered SO impure in nature that tc
touch them brings Northumberland
their common designation, the un,

relatively tolerant of each other, must
not dine together nor intermarry, on
pain of a social persecution which, for
most individuals, is almost unendur

Chicago women cheered Col.
Roosevelt when he appealed to them
not to be influenced by the plea that
President Wilson had kept the coun-
try out of war. When he told them
that he would fight at the drop Of the
hat if necessary to stop the murder of
women and children, they met the
announcement with a chorus of APP
plause that delayed the speaker and
he waited while they rose and waved
handkerchiefs and flags. Just how
and where he proposed to do his
fighting, he did not say.

MUSIC FOR FERDINAND.

Another rousing band meeting was
held Monday night, at which about 80
enthusiasts were present. 1t was the
regular business meeting night and
many things came up and were threshed
out. The payment of dues and collect
ing for music was also sprung and near
ly all the boys "coughed upn as
though they liked it, and it looks as
though the band will be a bowling sue
cess, Cat least for several weeks, until
the tooters will be able to produce a
clear tone and run the scale-also the
fusilade of overdue eggs and petrified
vegetables.)
Twenty-seven members signed up the
band roster as regulars; few were alb
sent. 1t is estimated that the number
of beginners will be at least thirty.
Two members signed up-Harvey Bales
and w. j. Adsley.
1t is expected the remaining instru-
ments will arrive by next Monday and
then practice will being in earnest, and
for time, two or three nights week
will be given to instruction from the
professor hired to instruct, who is ex-
pected to arrive by Sunday.
1t was decided to give a musicale
with appropriate trimmings Friday
evening, April 14th. A committee was
appointed to make all arrangements
and line up a program, which, to say
the least, will be worth double the small

ill at her home west of town for several
weeks, died Saturday evening from
typhoid pneumonia and was buried in
the local Catholic cemetery Tuesday
afternoon, the funeral being quite
largely attended in spite Of the inclem-

twenty years of age and was born in
st. Bernard, Neb. She later moved
with her parents to South Dakota, re-
turning again to Nebraska and comm z
to Idaho some ten years ago. She was
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Chris.

pleasing appearance and had large
circle of friends. Some time last fall
she was injured in runaway accident
but had recovered from the accident
and was enjoying her usual good health
when stricken with the disease thai
caused her death. She leaves to mourn
her loss her parents, several brothers
and sisters, many near relatives and a
large number of personal friends. Six
young ladies of the parish acted pail
bearers and bore their young friend to
her last resting place.

have the sympathy of the entire com
munity in their sad loss.-Cottonwood
