Among ;he eoloird stones, the emeralds, rubies :.n.! sapphires are th^«e which remain intact lest. Nevertheless they are not oxer ;>t from changes, as has been proved by many experiments recently made in Paris. Two rubies of the same a-i,-l shade were kept for two oi, • i a showcase and the other away from all light. At the end of this term a comparison revealed that, the first ufid become somewhat lighter in color. The influence of light makes itself felt more plainly on topazes and gar¬ nets. The garnet turns much paler in a short time, while the topaz assumes a darker shade and even loses the bril¬ liancy possessed by it when freshly cut. The most sensitive stone in this re¬ spect Is the opal. This stone draws its marvelous rainbow reflections from numerous little clefts which allow the light to pass and reflect it in different directions. Often the opal stands the manipulations of cutting and polishing well, and all of a sudden it splits. It suffers always by excess of beat. Ow¬ ing to its chemical composition it is sensitive to all the changes of tempera¬ ture. Hearts deteriorate very easily. In the fire they are transformed into a piece of lime. Placed in contact with an acid, they behave ns lime or marble would under the same conditions. It some¬ times happens that during the work, if the hand touching them Is very sweaty, they lose their luster or break, being attacked by the acid of the perspira¬ tion. (Since pearls arc composed of concen¬ tric layers of mother of pearl, it is sometimes possible to repair them by taking ’off the outer layer, but this operation is extremely difficult and delieate. If the interior colors nre in¬ jured there is no remedy. Diamonds are, less sensitive; still It is not prudent to take them too near the fire.—Jewelers’ Circular-Weekly. THE HELPFUL WOMAN. Her Advice to Her nnabnnd nml tile Ileeiilt of Roliiining It. There was once a Woman whose Husband Depended on the State of the Market for his Daily Toast. One Day he Appeared before Iler with a Sad Countenance. "All is Over, my Dear,” said bo. “Wheat is Way Down, and I doubt if after Tomorrow we shall have More than Ten Thousand a Year to Live On, 1 am Sorry that 1 Married .roil to Drag you Down to This, but I must Tell you Sooner or Later. I am a Ruined Man.” "Nay, do not Lose Heart." said his Wife. "Can you not Speculate Fur¬ ther?” “1 cannot,” he replied, “for I have Lost my Nerve. My Friends Urge me to Throw what 1 Have into Copper, but I Dare Not. Five Thousand a Year would Hardly buy Croquettes for Two. 1 would Better Keep what 1 have Saved from the Smash." “At any rate.” said she. “come Out and Have some Lunch. Let us Go to Sherry's and get a Nice I.itle Bird. Then you will Feel Better.” "Bird!'' exclaimed her Husband. "Unhappy Woman, if you see anything better than Broiled Chicken and Beef a la Mode for the Rest of Y'our Life, you will Do Well, in my present Frame of Mind 1 would Suggest a Night Lunch Cart.” "Let us have One Good Meal at least.” urged his Wife, “before we Die to the World. I have Twenty Dollars in my Purse. I will Buy our Lunch with that: after that the Night Lunch.” “Very well, for the Last Time,” re¬ plied her Husband. Then they went to an Expensive Restaurant and Ate a more than Satis-! : facto: y Lunoncon. At t ie end of it , ber ; Husband said: “! tlnuk Better of that Copper than I Did." Then fse went Back to Wall Street and Made Sixty Thousand Dollars in Thirty-eight Minutes. This teaches us that Digestion is the Better Part of Valor.—Century. DANGER IX THE WHY ONE MAN DREADED THE ING INTO CAMP OF A DICTIONARY. He Dhcreefly I.eff Before the erorrsly AvjiiQKcIecl Sentizksc*9 1 « EipreKscd In bis Speech Could Analyzed a In Webster. When the sen of the president of Big Mountain Lumber company into the mountains to learn tlie ness. so to speak, I knew within minutes that he had come to wrong place. lie was a city chap, ly graduated and thoroughly out touch with everything mountainous. JJe was a bright fellow, however, and amply capable, only the wore not the field for his development. As time elapsed his distaste grew, and it was ail he could do not to express his opinion cf the mountain people, their manners, customs, homes, morals and everything connected with them. He was wise enough to confide in me alone and bided his time to get away to some more congenial clime. And lie got away sooner than lie expected. It happened that there was a public meeting one night at the sawmill shed, and he was called on to make a few remarks. Every other man at the meeting except myself, who acted as chairman, was of the mountains, and their illiterate talk had roused the young college fellow to the limit. He saw a chance to get even, in his own mind at least, and when the call came for him he responded promptly. His speech, quite brief, but to the point, was. as follows, copied from his own manuscript, even the [applause] part: “My friends, I am glad to meet you on this occasion, for 1 have wished to say to you publicly what I think of you, though our acquaintance Las not been long, Coming as a stranger among you, I was only partly prepared for wlint was in store. Now. let me say to yon that half has not been told me. [Applause.] In the internecine arena your lethiferous Conduct lias artouuded me by the trucidation and oecisiou characterizing it among no men I have ever known, [Loud ap pin use.] lu the diversified field of mendacity your efforts would make Maehiavelii take to the tall timber. [Uproarious applause.) In all fura cious. raptorial cud predacious pur¬ suits you have done such wonders that the gifted and great Jonathan Wild would have felt Ills latrociuy Was a sounding brass and his direption a tinkling cymbal. [Great applause.] In the broad expanse of labor your torpeseent oseitatiou has made you stti generis among nil pandiculnte man¬ kind. [Cheers and shouts of "Good for us!” | As good livers, your tables groan beneath their stereoraeerivs and impetiginous burden, and as drinkers, your temulent bibneity has made the eriipulous reputation of Bacchus to be a sign of puritanical abstemiousness. [Loud applause.] As for yourselves. I take pleasure in saying here to you. without fear of successful contradic¬ tion, that your uugacity is forever established; as observers cf the law, your aberrance is teratologieal, and personally you are a cohesive concat¬ enation of rubigant exuviae, that 1 Jtake especial pleasure in believing does not exist elsewhere on earth. [Vocif erous applause.]" When the enthusiasm had cooled down somewhat, he proceeded to speak on the subjects before the meeting and sat down. The mountaineers were pleased to death wiWi the college men's high flown speech about them, and though I didn't know the meaning of all the big words he used 1 did know that he had been calling them liars and murderers and thieves and scoundrels and drones and lawless drunkards, be¬ sides condemning their fare and anath¬ ematizing the lot of them personally. But not one of them suspected, and 1 was hoping nothing would come of it and they would forget, even if any of the large words were remembered, when one day a book agent drove up to the office in a buckboard and an¬ nounced that he was selling Webster's Unabridged Dictionary for $2 a copy and showed a sample that was as big as a box of soap. Nobody had ever seen so much book for the money, nor had anybody ever seen a dictionary in that neighborhood, and when the agent began to tell what a valuable thing it was to be In every family the men became interested, and it wasn’t long until the agent had sold 25 copies, to be delivered the following week. When he had gone away with his sample, I called the young man into the private office for consultation. "Don't say a word.” he began as soon as he had closed the door. “I know exactly where I am at, and I’ll be some place else before Mr. Web¬ ster arrives to throw any light on my recent remarks. 1 am not shedding any tears, and in order that the dic¬ tionary buyers and others may know just what I think of them I shall leave two dozen copies of my speech for dis¬ tribution on the morning of my de¬ parture.” He did just as he said lie would, and it was a good thing for him that ks riever came back any more.—W- T Lamptou in Washington Star. That’s All. “In proof of the assertion that the world is growing better.” remarked Oli¬ tim, “let me mention the fact 1 1 ::: 1 we never find stones in the coffee we buy at the grocery stores nowadays." "No.” growled Pessinu “The reason for that is that most persons who buy P0 g-,, e pave it ground when thev buy it. The grocers pick out the stones for fear of ruining their mills. The world is growing more enlightened in its selfish ness. That’s all.”—Chicago Tribune. Queensland is being converted into a large orange orchard.

An Irish lecturer, upon being intro¬ duced to his audience, said, “Ladies and gentlemen, before i begin to speak T wish to say a few words.” He rovprave Twain. Many years ago the Montana club in Helena entertained Mark Twain after a lecture. He met many old friends there and one old enemy. The latter had come all the way from Virginia City, Nov., on purpose to settle an old score. When the glasses were filled i and Mark’s health proposed, this man interrupted the proceedings by saying: “Hold on a minute. Before we go fur- j tlier 1 want *.o say to you, Pam Clein ens. that you did me a dirty trick over there in Silver City, and I've come i here to have a settlement with you.” ■ There was a deathly silence for a moment, when Mark said in his delib¬ erate drawl: “Let's see. That—was— before—I—reformed, wasn’t - it ?” Senator Sanders suggested that inas¬ much as the other fellow had never re¬ formed Clemens and all the others ■i : present forgive him ana drink together, ! which all did.

Was quite a pleasant one and during the evening “Ahey,” the hopeful son of the family, was sent to the cellar for refreshments for the guests. He could lie heard grop¬ ing his way through the dark, and then came the noise of something fell¬ ing and the crash of glass. “Alley's" mother was plainly uneasy, hut. she assumed the unnatural eom; osura which her society duties d. :n lcil. Soon “Abey” came up with an armful of bottles. “What was that noise we heard, ‘Abey’?” asked the mother.
