THE FAMILY DOCTOR
Gives the ITasty Eater * Scolding and a
Bit of Good Advice.
If there is any truth in the adage that
the “way to a man’s heart is through his
stomach,” in nine cases out of -ten it
would lie a hard road to travel. When
vou consider the enormous and varied
duty on all cut and unset precious btones amount of material that strews its i>ath,
at the nominal rate of 10 per cent. This
low rate secures more income from this
Ak>urce than a tarifT of 25 per cent, or
more, as the incentive to smuggle is not
sufficient to tempt any hut the most ava
ricious or foolhardy among importers.
To buy diamonds, and the same may
bo said of all other precious stones and
pearls, in Europe advantageously the
buyer must be sufficiently well' informed
| from long practice in buying in these
ITjiarkels and from a special study of tho
■ nature of precious stones, to enable him
“ to place correct values on parcels sub-
I mitted for his inspection. The novice,
or one having only the limited knowl
edge of the subject of gems which is ac
quired by occasionally handling them,
f cannot possess the qualifications needed
to deal successf ully with the “sharpest”
and shrewdest lot of merchants and
urokers in any line of trade, as the dia
mond merchants and brokers of Ilatten
Garden and Paris are admit ted to be.
Amsterdam is the great workshop
where most of the diamond cutting has
been done for centuries. Antwerp,
Haarlem, London and other places now
exit large quantities of diamonds, while
tlx in don has always led in the cutting and
■ jpolishing of the fine colored stones like
I fthe ruby, sapphire and emerald.
> ' Although Amsterdam cuts a largo per-
jf centago of stones, the markets for their
/ sale are London and Paris. Not only
, nro the largo stocks of cut and uncut

controlling interest in the mines is owned

•deposits of diamonds in Africa mining
was done by claim owners, who were
i known as “diggers.”
are owned by several corporations hav
ing headquarters in London and Paris,
f ind these corporations regulate the pro-
luction of the mines. Prices are thus
Ci'pt at more uniform rates, and a break
tho market Is prevented. If there
'iiould be a sharp demand in Paris stocks
re sent over from London, and vice
/orsa. Brokers are the mediums through
which most transactions in precious
stones are made. The craft is made up
.from both sexes. The writer has recol
lections of quito extensive transactions
with a female diamond broker, who dis
played as much shrewdness and business
Intelligence as any of the male members
the profession he has met.
There are “tricks of tho trade” In-
utuerable. One consists in showing
:ie very lowest grade of stones first, so
at when at last a rather inferioi grade
reached by a crescendo process the
uver becomes somewhat confused in his
irts to fix in his eye the exact quality
tier examination. For aid in selecting
ry high grade diamonds a “test stone”
known quality is invaluable.
Diamonds of staple or medium qual
ity. ranging from one grain to six grains,
from one-half to one and one-half
■rats weight, may be purchased as ad-
ntageously of the New York importers
in the foreign market, but the larger
d finer grades are found in London and
".ris in much greater quantities, giving
wider choice for the judicious buyer.
1 these higher grades there are very
ight fluctuations in prices from year to
ear, anil therefore as an investment
ley are tho better goods to buy, particu-
ly when tlvev are well bought.
Even in so large a market as London
you at once encounter many unpleasant
obstacles. The man who gets outside of
hot soup, boiled ham, fried clams, pota
toes, pickled cabbage, pastry, icecream,
and tea in fifteen minutes, and then
wonders why he feels so badly, is either
an ass or an idiot—very likely a melange.
Me cannot understand it, when he is
so constantly taking those celebrated
“after dinner pills,” a title that is simply
a cover for wrong doing. True, he paid
extra to have hi3 pills gelatine coated to
retain their virtues the longer; but he
j evidently did not know that the tannin
in tile tea would convert that coating
! into a mass which the juices of the
j stomach are powerless to affect, and so
j no benefit is derived from the pills. He
\ goes on. however, stuffing himself with
j food—and tiie delusion that the more one
! cats the stouter he grows. It is not the
quantity wo eat, but what is assimilated
I —that is, what the system is capable of
! burning up as fuel to increase our vital
| energies. If you smother your fire with
: too much coal, out it goes. Now the
| dyspeptic, the sufferer of that most com-
i mon trouble, indigestion, may feel its
J presence by a thousand different signs.
I So numerous are they, that the mention
of only a few must suffice here.
For instance, he wakes with a stuffy
headache, a bad taste in his mouth, bolt3
his breakfast, and rushes off to business.
Ilis food “repeats,” as our English
friends say, his taste becomes sour and
hot, and so does his temper, and he is not
altogether the most amiable of mortals.
As the d;iv grows apace he has ill defined
aches, and fancies his eye sight is failing,
and his irritability increases. His clerks
Now these claims j live on P ins 11,1(1 needles, and his friends
say, “what a bore he is getting to be, so
full of ills.”
Thus it goes on from bad to worse.
Think of that man as a judge, and now
he might “make wretches hang that
jurymen may dine.” No doubt many a
verdict of today is largely influenced by
poisonous butyric acid in tho circulation
of one who has too hastily consumed his
fodder. Ultimately, if he does not switch
off, he falls a victim to nervous prostra
tion and melancholia, a fit tenant for any
asylum, which ho often cheates by draw
ing a razor across his throat. All from
dyspepsia. There is no hyptrbole in this
picture; you will see many like it every
day, if you but keep your eyes open.
The remedy? Certainly not indiscrim
inate drugging, a proceeding as foolish
as to load yovtr dog with an elephant’s
burden and expect him to carry it. If
the stomach cannot take care of its na
tural guests it will resent the intrusion of
foreigners.
The panacea is rest for the stomach by
the use of light foods, and rest for the
mind by anything which will draw at
tention from the suffering organ. Few
things accomplish this latter lietter than
the diversion of hearing good music.
You may think it strange, but there is an
eminent physician abroad who writes
out a prescription for music much as we
would for calomel. It possesses a won
derful sway over the lower orders of life,
and you have often noticed the spirited
action of a horse, the arched neck and
proud canter, when hearing the strains
of martial music.
Music cheers the soldier on the long
I march and renews his flagging energies.
| So will it aid the dyspeptic. The instru
ment is a matter of choice, the violin

Very Peculiar Wedding Rings.
Lieut, von Francois, the African ex
plorer, has recently described a strange
custom among the Bayanzi, who live for
many miles along the Upper Congo. The
custom would seem to make life a good
deal of a burden to their married women.
Brass rods, which are the favorite cur
rency in the country, are welded into
great rings around the necks of the
wives. Many of these rings worn hy
the women, whose husbands are well to
do, weigh as much as thirty poimils. and
thi3 burden must be carried around by
the poor women as long as they live.
“Frequently,” says Lieut, von Fran
cois. “one sees a poor woman whose neck
is raw and sore under the heavy weight,
and in places the skin is rubbed off by
the ring. This is a sure sign that the
ring has been recently welded around
her neck, for after a time the skin bo
comes calloused, and then the strange
ornament produces no abrasion. But
the weight is an inconvenience; they
never get used to it, and it is a perpetual
tax upon their energies. In every crowd
of women maybe seen a number who are
supporting the ring with their hands,
and thus for a time relieving their weary
shoulders of the heavy burden. It may
lie said that with every movement of
their bodies the rings give them discom
fort.
1 ‘A ring is never put around a wo
man's neck until she is believed to have
attained her full physical development.
Once on. it is no easy matter to get it off.
The natives have no such thing as a file,
and, though they can hammer a lot of
brass rods into one. it is very difficult
for them to cut the thick mass of metal
in two. Women who increase largely
in ilesh after the rings have been fas
tened on their necks are in danger of
strangling to death, and instances of this
sort have t>een known to occur.
“Yet these women regard the cum
brous ornament with pride, imagine that
it enhances their importance and beauty,
and wear the burden with light hearts.
Brass is the money of the country, and
by putting it around their wives’ necks
the men are pretty certain that it won’t
be stolen or foolishly expended. But it
is an odd and cruel sort of a savings
bank.”—New York Sun.

Russia's Domination in Asia.
A great and motley throng of brown
ish Hindoos, dusky Afghans, pallid
Persians and yellow Chinamen, together
with tho vari-hued complexions of the
nomad tribes and minor nationalities of
Central Asia, is preparing for the-pic
turesque pomp and ceremonials of coro
nation at Samarcand, the historical capi
tal of Tamerlane, of the great white czar
of Russia, who will henceforth become
also emperor of Central Asia.
This great forthcoming event, which
the activity of the Nihilists three years
ago postponed, is dwelt upon no less with
interest by the impressionable and
glamour seeking Orientals of Calcutta,
Pekin, Cabul and Teheran than looked
forward to with innate pride and gratifi
cation by the chief jiersonage in the cor
onation, who thus contemplates the re
alization of a long cherished dream which
has irradiated the slumbers and gilded
the waking thoughts of the long line of
Russian imperial rulers for generations.
Now the completion of the Transcaspian
railroad makes the project easy of execu
tion, and all Central Asia is agitated
with the coming event. At the corona
tion of tho ncigning emperor in Moscow
a few years ago special care was taken
to insure the presence of powerful
Asiatics, who were duly impressed with
the tremendous military display which
they witnessed, and returned to spread
abroad the fame and dread of Russia.
The same effect will be produced in a
more marked degree at Samarcand.
While in Turkestan this event will
destroy the last vestiges of formidable
opposition to Russia’s domination, it will
also create uneasiness in England, and
even Germany will view with disquietude
this extension of Cossack domination
into Central Asia.—Philadelphia In
quirer.
The Dig Rooster’s Indignation.
A disappointed barn yard fowl is often
as cross as if it could show its temper
after the manner of human beings. The
big dominique rooster was a very good
natured fellow with hens and young
chickens, and he seldom resented having
kernels of corn, no matter how many,
snatched out from under his beak, when
it was done in a fair scramble. But if
he had begun to crow, and a kernel was
unexpectedly dropped where he certainly
would have got it, had he not been so
busy, it was too much to see his share
taken away by any other fowl. He fre
quently pecked the offender as soon as he
could stop crowing and showed general
ill temper for a few moments. His in
dignation was so amusing that we fell
into the habit of teasing him in this way.
until, at last, the old fellow began to
practice choking down the rest of his
crow when com was thrown in front of
him. Gradually he managed to stop
more and more quickly, and in the end
he would swallow his voice with a gulp,
and snatch a bit of food as promptly as
if he had not been crowing at all.—Ben
jamin Karr in Popular Science Monthly.
