Easy- to Tell a Diamond.

“It doesn’t require an expert,” said ?-r. D. Menil. “to tell whether a dia- | raond is genuine or not. The test is very simple, and can be made in any place, and in a moment. All you need is a piece of paper and a lead pencil. With the latter make a small dot on the paper, then look at it through the diamond. “If you can see but one dot you can depend upon it that the stone is genuine, but if the mark is scattered or shows more than one, you will be perfectly safe in refusing to pay 10 cent ) for a stone that may be offered you a'; s>oo. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
