AS TO PRECIOUS STONES.

Coloring Diamond!) and Fusing Several Ruble# Into One. Not long since a shiver was sent through the diamond-dealing world at the discovery, which in this country was made at New Haven, Connecticut, that second and third’class stones with some decided off color were being turned into first-water diamonds of the purest ray by a bath in some violet solution which an industrious investigator at Paris had discovered. Upon an investigation being made it was .found that many of the most expert and reliable judges in the business had been taken in. i Two or three men were sent to prison in consequence, but the dissovery of the solution was a permanent contribution to our diamond lore, and purchasers should be more than ever careful, as nothing but the most severe tests will disclose the fraud. Now comes the announcement from Paris of further “progress,” by some Swiss artificer, who has actually succeeded in taking a dozen small rubies and melting them into one of- the first quality. There is no limit to the size of the ruby that may be produced by this method, and a rapid fall in the price of these gems may soon be expected. H this method of fusion can be successfully applied to diamonds no end of consternation will ensue. A ruby is a red sapphire. It is composed of nearly pure aluminum, and in value and hardness stands next to the diamond, so that if some one has succeeded in melting rubies together it is possible that something similar may be done with diamonds. The amethyst, the topaz, the emerald, the sapphire, and the ruby are the same stone, differing only in color. What can be done with one in the way of melting may be done with all. The finest ruby sapphires come from Pegu, Burmah, and Siam. The best blue sapphires come from Ceylon. A hlua sapphire of ten carats is worth about $250. The red sapphire or ruby is the most precious variety, a perfect one weighing more than three and a half carats being more valuable than a diamond of the same weight, and when it weighs ten carats the ruby has three times the value of the diamond. A ruby of four carats is worth $2,000. The tint of the ruby is as fine by artificial light as by the iight of day, and when of the finest tint it has the color of the center of the red band of the solar spectrum, or that peculiar shade known to the jewelers as “pigeon’s blood”; but it' varies from the lightest rose tint to the deepest carmine. A deep-colored ruby exceeding twenty carats, a very rare stone, is usually called a carbuncle. The largest fine ruby known in the world was brought from China to Prince Sagarin, * Governor of Siberia. It afterwards came into the possession of Prince Menschikoff, and is now in the imperial crown of Eussia.— New York Graphic.

The Second-Hand Shoe Trade.

Said the shoemaker: “You would be surprised to seethe class of men who purchase second-hand shoes. I have among my customers an elderly gentleman who comes here regularly every three months and buys a pair of shoes for $1.50. He is wealthy, but a miser. Many men whom I might name and who are well able to buy new shoes prefer second-hand ones for economy's sake. When a pair of shoes are cast off they are worthless to the original purchaser, and can be bought for a song. When business is dull I sometimes go. out on a collecting tour, and in a eoupleof hours will obtain enough shoes and boots to keep me employed for a month. "Boots are much more valuable thau shoes, because they contain more leather. I find that they.are not worn much nowadays, and those I occasionally come across are made of the finest leather.” “What means are taken to burnish up old shoes?” was asked. - “The -uppers of second-hand shoes are always good, whether the lowers are worn or not. If the body of the shoe is not in a patchable condition I must put on an entire new instep. Usually the upper part of the heel, to the curve of the foot remains in good condition. Sometimes it becomes necessary to entirely renovate old shoes, so that when finished they are like new ones, with this difference, that the leather used is not so good as the original. Soles and heels always have to be rebuilt and the toes capped. In all these repairs the cheapest of sole leather is used. When finished the shoes can be sold at from 75 cents to $1.50. A shoe must be of the finest leather and be but little worn to bring $2.” “Who are your customers?” “Poor people, who can afford to pay but little for their shoes. I supply whole families with shoes, from the father and mother to the baby. Ido but little business in women’s shoes. Women usually wear their shoes in the street until they become shabby, when they are cut down and used in the house as slippers. And then, besides, women’s shoes are now so cheap that it would not pay to make them over.” While the reporter was listening to the cobbler’s chatter there entered the store a laboring man who, after much dickering, bought a pair of brogans three sizes too large for him for ninety cents. V “Those shoes which I have just sold,” continued the shoemaker, “will wear the man nearly a year. You know what he paid for them, and can estimate about what shoe leather costs some poor people who know where to purchase.” — Brooklyn Eagle.

The Study of Advertisements.

It is not as adequately recognized as it should be how much insight into the character of a city can be obtained by a close and discriminating study of the advertising columns of a daily newspaper published in said city. A Pittsburger who had never been in Baltimore could form a tolerably correct idea of that place by a critical examination of one of its leading papers. He would know its places of amusement, its railroad facilities, its steamers, its banking and insurance institutions, and have a good general notion of its industries, trade, etc., from business advertisements. The want columns, and the financial columns, and the domestic market reports are instructive, and the

notices of societies and orders tell a story. Local news, so-called, only covers a day, but these advertisements show the whole anatomy. Yet the casual newspaper reader often overlooks this valuable key to a city. In fact, women study advertisements more curiously and constantly than men, and dry-goods merchants -do well to give heed.to this fact. The value of advertising is shown*by the marvelous circulation of papers that are chiefly taken on account of the advertisements in them. Our present purpose! however, is to call attention to the study of advertisements a revelation of the" multiform and many-colored aspects of the organism known as a city. An intelligent investigator m this Held will be richly rewarded.— Pittsburg Chronicle.

Mountain Sam s Dogs.

An old trapper and hunter known as “Mountain Bam” is doing a land office business killing huge mountain sheep for their heads and horns. These he ships to New York to fill the orders which he is constantly receiving, and there they are mounted. Sain’s best customers are wealthy Englishmen. For many years “ Mountain Bam” has buried himself in the most remote recesses of the Big Horn Mountains. Sam rounds up the wild sheep with dogs. A His pack numbers twenty-five head, and they are a pure cross of bloodhound and bull-dog. Mountain born and bred, these noble animals add to the nat.uxal strength and sagacity of their blood-strains a marvelous endurance and activity. No snow-depth, no roughness of trail, no steepness of precipice, no loftiness of peak, no remoteness of locality, can stop the mountain dog when on the track of the mountain sheep. The pack works in an organized way when the trail of a band of sheep is struck. The dogs break into little bunches and wide and careful circuits are made. The closely pressed sheep are hurried toward a common center, and they will soon be bunched, with twenty-five stanch dogs, cresfs erect and tails wagging, moving about them in an endless and eager oircle. The pack has been known to bunch 250 head of sheep, and to hold their watch and guard for over six hours awaiting the coming of their master, who has been kept back by the difficulties lying in his path. It sometimes occurs that the dogs bring the game together on a spot that is utterly inaccessible to human feet. Then the hunter gives the dogs notice of the fact by a peculiarly shrill and piercing shout. The pack at once dash into the midst of the sheep, seize and slay the largest, and by dint of rolling, tumbling, and falling from crag to crag, from declivity to declivity, bring the carcasses within reach of tlieir master. —Denver Tribune.

All Whirling Through Space.

A careful comparison of the positions of the stars from one time to another shows in many cases a real motion in space. Eeallv accurate ascertainment of position began in the time of Bradley, who lived about the middle of the last century, so that we have only the records of a little over 100 years on which to base our knowledge of stellar “proper motion.” European astronomers gave us in the last century several catalogues of stars which are reliable, and the work of comparison with the present places has been undertaken for a number of faint stars, the bright ones having already been considered by an English gentlemen, J; L. E. Dreyer, who has just published the results. By such efforts as his, continued over centuries of time, it will be possible finally to deal intelligently with the great problem of the motion of the universe as a whole. To appreciate the feebleness of any efforts if confined to a single century, it must be remembered that the stars are so immensely remote that but very few of them show any perceptible shifting of place as a result of the motion of the earth in its orbit. Hence any motion, rapid though it may be, is scarcely perceptible here. A change of a second of arc a year, which might be a perfectly amazing, velocity, would require 1,800 years to carry the star over a space in the sky equal to that which the full moon covers. A 1 second a year is a large proper motion.— Philadelphia, Ledger. " The editor of the Corsicana, Texas, Observer, Mr. G. 1\ Miller, had a Severe attack of rheumatism in his left knegy which became so swollen and painful that be could not walk up the stairs. He writes that after a few applications of St. Jacobs Oil, the pain entirely disappeared, and the knee assumed its normal proportions.

Panic of 1857.

The great financial panic of 1857 commenced on the 24th of August, and continued into February of the year following. The most uniyersally accepted cause for the panic of 1857 was the violent contraction of bank loans immediately after the suspension of the Ohio Life and Trust Company, which took place August 24. On receipt of this news the financial circle vibrated to its very center; banking officers, by the sudenness of the blow? lost their heads; the first clearinghouse report, after the suspension of the Trust Company, showed a reduction of $4,000,000 in the bank loans over the previous week. A defalcation .of $7,000,000 in one of the associated banks was announced the same day. The most substantial securities sold for next to notning at public auction. Commercial houses and banks succumbed to the panic. C. M. Neil, of Pine Bluff, Ark., has the reputation.. of being the largest planter of cotton in the South. He has 12,000 acres of cotton under cultivation, and is worth $3,000,000. They have a rug at Cottage City, N. J., made in the year 691, or 1,195 years ago.

Senator Gorman’s Reinedy.

The following storjr is told as com-ing-from Senator Gorman himself, and giving his experience in securing a cure for neuralgia: For many years lie has been a sufferer from regular attacks of neuralgia. On some occasions he has been confined to his home a day or two, so intense was the pain. An, old lady friend once called upon him while he was suffering from one of his attacks. She displayed so mueli sympathy that she almost forgot to name the request she had to make —but she did not. * Upon learning that the Senator was troubled with neuralgia ; she volunteered to give him an infallible remedy, provided he would promise not to laugh at her or accuse her of being a believer in conjurations, spells, etc. The Senator, in a good-natured way, informed her that lie was under treatment from an eminent physician, who sometimes afforded him temporary relief. The old lady finally prevailed upon the Senator to give her remedy a fair trial, whereupon she suggested that he should get an ordinary nutmeg, such as is used in cooking, drill a hole through it, attach it to a piece of string or ribbon, and wear it round his neck continually. The Senator, while suffering one day. determined to give the nutmeg remedy a trial. He followed the old lady’s directions, and in a few hours felt greatly relieved. He has worn the nutmeg ever since, and is seldom troubled with neuralgia. He has consulted several physicians on the sub’eet, and they state that the nutmeg possesses certain virtues which may nave effect on neuralgic pains.--National Republican.

Over Many a League

Spreads the miasma, or poisonous vapor, that begets malarial and typhus fever.. Wherever there is stagnant water in which vegetation, or refuse of any kind decays, there, as surely as the sun rises,'are generated the seeds of fever and ague, dumb ague, and other endemic maladies of the malarial type. Few the effects of this envenomed air, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters furnishes an antidote, and prevents both the contraction and recurrence of such maladies. Even along the line of excavation for the Lesseps Panama Canal, where malarial diseases are not onlyvirulentbut deadly, Hostettor’a Stomach Bitters hafl demonstrated its incomparable protective qualities. Not only for febrile complaints, but also for disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, for rheumatism, and inactivity of the kidneys and bind ler, it is very effective. It counteracts tho effects of fatigue, damp, and exposure.

Don’t Blind the Babies.

Has it ever occurred to those who purchase coaches for their babies, and who make it a point to select the brightest colors they can find for the screen that is interposed between the eyes of the child and the sun, that they are liable to do irreparable injury to the vision of the little one ? An infant generally lies on its back, its eyes, of course, upturned toward the bright covering above it, its gaze being the more intense the brighter the covering and the more direct the rays of the sun upon it. Nothing but injury can result from such thoughtless exposure. Any experienced nurse says there cannot be a doubt as to the injurious effect of those bright so-called shields upon the tender eyes of children. Parents who are wise will select the darker and denser shades, even though they may not be as handsome or showy in their eyes as some of those which are more fashionable.

The Delights of Rural Life.

“What a delightful existence it is, Farmer Robinson,” said his city guest; “out here in the country. How crisp the air, and the fragrance of new-mown hay pervades all. I should think you would feel like chanting p&ans of praise to the Creator the year ’round.” “It is sort ’o nice, miss, I grant. But I never feel so much like thanking heaven as I do when I’ve scrimmaged about and got money enough together to pay the taxes.”— Hartford Post. According to Dr. Tipton, of Alabama, the negroes before the war in the South never had phthisis, but now it is the greatest scourge among them. He also says that the negro is rarely if ever near-sighted.

“No Physic, Sir, in Mine!”

A good story comes from a boys’ boardingschool in “Jersey.” The diet was monotonous and constipating, and the learned Principal decided to introduce some old-style physic in the apple-sauce, and await the happy results. One bright lad, tho smartest in school, discovered the secret mine in his sauce, and pushing back his plate, shouted to the pedagogue, - 8 No : physic, sir, in mine. My dad told me to use nuthin’ hut Dr. Pierce’s ‘Pleasant Purgative Pellets.’and they are doing their duty like a charm!” They are anti-hilious, and purely vegetable. A Haverill woman refused to shoo her hens because her husband, a shoemaker, was on strike. —Lowell Citizen,

Excess Invites Repression.

A democracy has difficulties enough of its own to contend with, without wantonly imperiling its existence by importing problems of alien origin. We; cannot, without detriment to ourselves and our institutions, adopt Bismarckian methods of repression; and the anarchical tendencies, which are the result of these methods, require more heroic remedies than our laws at present provide. One ounce of prevention, as the saying is, is worth a pound of cure. A law to prevent the importation of undesirable immigrants would, if passed in time, avert future dangers, not by solving the labor problem, but by making it easier of solution.—Prof. Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen.
