Andean keyholes.

A curiosity of the Andean villages
are the doors of the houses which are
hard to open and hard to close, but
which. despite the intricacy of the
locks, admit the air freely on all sides.

door. writing in the Century Magazine
of the town Of San Pablo. Colombia.
"The keyhOle was in the shape of u

How to Test Diamond.

The frequent deception of the pub.
lie In regard to the sale of iewelry
and genuine stones in Great Britain
has induced the authorities to issue a
statement upon the accurate testing
Of diamonds. A number of instruc-
lions is given, including the follow
ing formula: When a diamond is
quite clean and dry carry out the
following experiment: Place on the
surface a tiny drop of water. Now
take needle or pin and try to move
the drop about. If the diamond is
genuine the drop can be rolled about
intact. On the other hand, where the
gem is an imitation the water spreads
directly it is touched with the needle-
point. Another very good test nav he
carried out with q tumblcr of water.
Into this put the suspected article and
examine it's appearance A real dia-
mOnd will show up in the water with n
startling clcarnesA and it can never he
confouEdcd with the water. On the
other hand. the imitation looks indefi-
aite. and it is sometimes difficult to see
it clearly at all.

Ancient Marriaoe custom,

Westermarck, in his History OF Hu.
man Marriage" says: " There is not
a shred of genuine evidence for tho no.
ton" that general polygamy ever
formed real stage I'M the history of
mankind. "Alonogamy is by far the
most common form of human marriage.
1t was so among the ancient people of
whom we have any direct knowledge"
And another authority states: 1T
seems probable that from the first hu-
nan mating Has tended toward
monogamic unions" AS for marriage
laws, there is little doubt that religious
sanctions are older than legal. In
Christian countries the marriage laws
are generally derived from the law
established by the Christian church in
the middle ages, which In turn drew
many of its rules regarding marriage
from the Roman civil law, and was also
influenced to some extent by Teutonic
ideals. 1t is worthy of note that the
Greeks and Romans, in their history,
show little or no trace Of pQlygamy.

Brazil Losing Rubber Trade.

One of the most striking economic
changes in recent years has been the
loss by Brazil of it's dominant position
in the rubber trade. Whereas, q few
years back, the world looked to South
America for most of it's crude rubber,
it is now getting the larger share from
the far East. The Brazilian product is
obtained from trees that grow wild,
and little has been done toward culti-
walton of the trees. In Sumatra, Cey-
Ion, Burma, and other countries mil
lions of trees have been set out and
are now coming into bearing. The do
nestle product is said to be slightly SUI
periOr to that obtained from Brazil,
and the trees improve with age. The
financial loss to Brazil through it's de-
creasing exports has become q serious
matter.-New York Times.

TO CLEAN CURTAINS
Certain Methods Must Be Adhered @
II 1t Is to Be Successful.

Time is needed to make home cur
tain-c!eaning Il success. Pins are also
needed-and many of them. Clean the
curtains in pure sOapsuds and then
rinse them gently in clear, lukewarm
water. Dry them. Then starch them
in starch cOlored to give them their
original tone, and then pin them out
to dry.
Ii the curtains were originally pure
white, blue the starch, rather deeply.
This will give the curtains a blue
white look that they had when fresh.
If they are cream-colOred use tea in
the starch to get the right tone, and
if they are deep ecru, use coffee to
give the desired color.
Dry the curtains on sheets stretched
out OH q carpet that is tackled down
if YOU possess such thing. If not,
stretch the sheets out Oh Il heavy rug
and pin them into place. Then pin the
curtains with the innumerable pins to
the sheets.
If you have an unused mattress in q
sunny room, spread u sheet over it and
pin the curtains to that. Then be sure
to air the mattress thoroughly, so that
any dampness from the curtains will
dry thoroughly.
The best way to wash curtains is to
shake them as nearly free from dust
as possible and soak them in tub half
full of tepid water in which half q
pound of pure soap has been dissolved.
In the morning squeeze them fairly
dry and place them in q tub full of
very hot water to which q tablespoon.
full Of borax and enough dissolved soap
to make strong suds are added.
When they seem clean, after splash.
ing them about in this water, rinse
them thoroughly, until there is no
trace of suds or dirt. Then squeeze
them gently dry. Let them dry thor.
oughly on the grass or hang them over
line to dry. Then starch them.
