After Nineteen Years. A young man walked up to Headteeper Manley at the Zoo a day or two *go, and asked the keeper if he remembered him.

She held me up to ;he bars of the cage to hand one of the monkeys a knick-knack, and instead of taking that, the animal bit off the end >f my 'inger."

"llon't you remember that you bathed and bandaged the finger tor me?” Mr. Manley recollected the .ncident, although it happened so long *go. and he and the young man had quite a talk over old times.—Philadelphia Record.

FALSE IH A MON DS. METHODS PRACTICED TO INCREASE THEIR VALUE Swelling TheirSizeby “Doubling”-. Altering the Shade of a Stone--Spurious Gems. The value of diamonds and other gems depending mainly upon their bulk, the efforts of the falsifiers have been chiefly directed to increasing the proportions, says the Pall Mall Gazette. The principal mode of so doing is known as 'doubling.” It was in use in the seventeenth century, and a case before the law courts in reference to a so-called rule shows that it is still flourishing. It consists in joining together with cement a portion of a real stone and an imitation so as to make the combination appear one and indivisible. Thiscan be done so deftly that the initiated ate sometimes deceived, as the case above referred to goes to show. So long as a combination of this kind remains unset the expert discovers it usually by a close examination of the edges; when it is mounted in a ring, bracelet or other setting re jognition is practically impossible. This is the most common form of deceit in the jewel trade. If some of tha jewels prized by noble and princelj' houses were taken to pieces and carefully examined by an expert th? result might astoni-h the owners. Some surprising discoveries of this kind have been made when family jewels were being remounted. It is to guard against deceptions of this kind that jewelers and dealers in precious stones decline to buy getns in their settings. When the gem is unset it can easily be subjected to a ready and infallible test. A stone about which there may be suspicion is dropped into a dish of very hot water. If it is a “doublet” the cement quickly dissolves, and the ’omponent parts fall asunder. But “doublets” are also made in which real diamonds find no place. The art of glass manufacture has made many advances in recent years, and experience has taught those who make it their business to fabricate spurious getns that a better result and a closer imitation of the genuine article can be obtained by joining two pieces of glass of diverse shades. It is managed in this way: The top portion of the false brilliant is made from glass in which there is a pale yellow or straw colored tinge. In the underside of this a socket is drilled, into this socket is fitted a stem of glass of light, bluish shade, the result of the combination being that the false stone gleams and sparkles like a gem of the purest water. The best imitations of this description are so effective that when well mounted they deceive all but the beat judges. Among the tests used by dealers and jewelers to ascertain not only the reality, but the quality of diamonds offered for sale is that of resistance or hardness, hew professionals are without a case of proved diamonds, graded according to their degree of hardness. All purchases are tested by this scale, and their quality ascertained. A specially constructed microscope is used to distinguish colors in stones. It has also been stated that diamonds are seldom bought by the trade after they are mounted. They are generally taken out of the setting for inspection. One of the oldest tricks of the trade is to so color the bed in which the stone rests as to change the hue of the gem. For instance, a ruby will glow with a deeper and more intense fire if the bottom and sides of the settin g wherein it is fixed be colored red. The shade of a stone can be altered or a flaw concealed by the skillful use of colors in this way. Naturally, this device does not deceive the initiated. A perfect stone is invariably mounted “a jour.” or so that every part of it is visible. The discovery of diamonds in South Africa led indirectly to some clevez deceit by the dealers. Many of the South African diamonds have a straw tint, which has an unfavorable effect on their price, especially as experts believe that it will become more decided the longer the stones are exposed to the air. Some of the more knowing dealers discovered that by subjecting the straw-timed diamonds to a bath of certain acids the objectionable color was removed and the gems became pure white. A number of diamonds so treated were sold in Paris and Berlin, and brought higher prices than if they had retained their original color. After exposure to the air fora certain length of time the original color returns, but by that time they have passed out of the dealers’ hands. The fraud was soon found out by the trade, and now they guard against impositions of such a character by means of various tests. Os these, the most generally used are the hot water bath and friction. If a dyed stone be left in hot water for a few minutes it resumes its original hue; or if the gem be rubbed sharply on a towel, or even on a coat sleeve, its normal color can be detected. These tests are simple and efficacious, and in daily use. Eagle and Child. A huge eagle swooped down upon the yard of Thomas Richardson,in the suburb of Huntington, Pa., and tried to carry away the latter's infant child. The bird fixed its talons in the infant’s clothes and was rising slowly when the garments tore and the little one fell to the ground, escaping injury. Mrs. Richardson frightened the bird away, but it soon returned and seizing a dog belonging to a neighbor, flew away with it to itserie.—[New York Press.

WE HAVE BEEN DECEIVED. Potatoes Instead of Bpior Wholesome Are Digestion Destroyers. “Life is too short.” said a famous cooking teacher, “to waste time in digesting potatoes.” Physicians agree with her that the dige-tive powers could better be employed on less difficult food, snd the good people who feel that their stomachs must not be overworked have declared against the potato. No matter how alluringly they are presented—hashed and brown, in crisp balls or slender spikes, inchipsor mashed to flakiness —potatoes must be tabooed. The woman who has been struggling against an ever increasihg embonpoint has known for many years t hat potatoes were her enemies. The starch and the sugar they contain are fattening, and she who loves sylph-like outlines better than damtv dishes should beware of them. But nowadays, when every woman is seeking after health and the beauty supposed to accompany health, the potato has no place in e en the most slender woman’s diet When people, however, have not the strength et mind necessary to exclude the potato entirely from their menus they should at least learn a few facts about the proper way to cook it. They should know that to leave potatoes in even the smallest amount of moisture after they have been cooked is to render them sodden, -oggy things, unfit for the consumption of civilized beings. On the other hand, soaking uncooked potatoes in cold water improves them. The uncooked starch does not unite with moisture, and so makes the vegetable poor, but the cooked starch absorbs water like a sponge, and makes the potatoes damp and most unpleasant. To •‘Suffer and Be Stronty’’ — In other words, to exhibit fortitude when enduring bodily pain, is. of course, praiseworthy. but sufferers from rheumatism would undoubtedly forego the praise which the exercise of this Spartan virtue calls forth, to obtain prompt and easy relief. It is at their very threshold in the shape of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which arrests this formidable disease at the outset, and acts as an efficient anodyne upon the afflicted nervous system. Take time bj the forelock if you feel rheumatic twinges, and give them a quietude at once. Rheumatism is, reader, you may perhaps not be aware, liable to attack the heart. Many a man and woman with a heart thus attacked has promptly “shuffled off this mortal coil.” The Bitters is also an excellent remedy for kidiiey trouble, malaria, constipation, debility, neuralgia, sleeplessness, and dyspepsia. Our Fuuret Population. The territorial area of Japan is about one twenty-fourth that of the United States, not counting 1 in Canada, which is likely some time to come in: and it supports 40.(XX),000 people. At this rate it is computed that the North American continent would sustain a population of 1.000,000,OCX).000. How soon that limit is to be rea hed may be remitted to the prophets and statisticians, but it will come sometime without doubt, requiring l an increasingly wise type of statesman and politician on the way if we are to hold together and carry out the destinies which B§em appointed to us. —New York Tribune.
