TRICKERY IN DIAMONDS. HOME OF IITB TRICKS RESOBTRD TO BY SWINDLERS. Tenon Not Eptj TUrn In tr Art ful PeTlrpM Nome Ff.moni Cnscs -llnklnr (;rnnln Illinnond. 'Is there a lurjic amount of imposi tion at present in your business?' asked a Chicago Tribune reporter o( a dinrnond dealer. "In nn article where not one in a hun dred hna any knowledge whatever, and not moro than one in ten thousand is a pood judge, there must necessarily bo a good donl of imposition. The methods of cheating may be divided into three classes. 1'he first and most common is when flawed, impcrfoct, or oil-colored diamonds nve sold for tirst-water, flaw less gems. This takes place every day and every hour of the day. The next two rifthods are swindling pure and simple. There are several precious stones which are of an entirely different composition to the diamond, but ro scmble that gem so closely that none but experts can distinguish them. Even experts have often to test these before they can discover the imposition. Tho basis of the diamond, as almost every body knows, is carbon. Tho. basis of the stones 1 now allude to is alumina, and they are known under the generic term 'carodums.' The principal stones substituted and sold for diamonds are the whito sapphire, white topaz, and tho zircon or jargon. 'White sapphire and topaz are worth from i to $3 a carat, zircon much less. Bushels of these stones have been and are still sold for diamonds. They can be at once identified by experts for their in ferior hardness and dillerence in specific gravity. The last method of swindling is when imitation stones mado in various ways are sold for the genuine article. More of this is carried on than you would think possible. In Europe, especially in Paris, tho art of making flne imitations of dia monds has been brought to perfection. Many of these, of course, are sold for what they are, many are mado to order for wealthy people who in temporary difficulties wish to raise money on their diamonds, and have these stones tct in the Siimo manner to wear while the real article is out of their reach, but large quantities are set in fine stylo and sold for first-water diamonds." ''Have there been any very successful frauds in your line lately?" "Thero is always soraothing going on, but the most extensivb and successful swindle iu which I as well as a great many others suffered first came into op eration about two years ago. It is tho coating system. By saturating off colored flawless stones worth about $25 a carat in a peculiar solution it gave them tho appearance of first-water goods, worth $100 a enrat. The solution - toon wears off, or it may be removed by a good application of hot soap-suds. But the trade was quite unacquainted with this method, and before we got to the bottom of it the sharpers had made an enormous pile. This is still being prac ticed at present to a small extent, princi pally for the working of pawnbrokers." "Can you call to mind any well- Clanned gem confidence operations that ave not been made public?" "Did you ever hear of the clever dodge worked in London in 1881 by one of the best known 'con practitioners of New York? lie went to London and pur chased in II at to n garden a magnificent stone weighing about twelve and a half carats. Ho paid between $7,000 and $3,000 for it. lie then made his way to Pari and put tho stone in the hands of tho best maker of paste goods and or dered thirty facsimiles of it. He then had the whole of them mounted in rings of exactly tho same desigc. In London are many largo pawnbrokers who lend sums of $5,000 and upward for short terms fourteen days or so at one and a half or three-quarter ier cent. He left the original ring with each of them in turn, took it outagaiu, and repledged it two or three times until they were well acquainted with him and the gem. One (Saturday, which is their busy day, ho rushed around to tho whole collection and left one of tho imitations for suras ranging from $4,000 to $0,000. He placed twenty-eight in all. They possi bly did not examine them closely, as ho was so well known, and his appearance and manners were calculated to ward off suspicion. The shrewdest pawnbrokers in London were taken in by this schemer. The Attenboroughs (this family have about eight establishments) had live of these rings, the Russells had three, and so forth. A much clc.verer though not such an extensive scheme- was worked in l'aris in 1878 by anotoiious French 'ahevalier de Indus trie.' He had a magnificent stone worth $0,000, of which he also had an imita tion madis and set in the same manner as the original. Ho then went to the most cxtensivo retail jeweler there, and, hand ing him tho genuine gem in a ring, asked him how much he would charge to reset it in a combination settinrr, or a setting where the stone could be used as tx ring, scarf pin and stud. Tho jeweler named tho amount, which he said was much more than ho wished to spend, as the stcne was only an imitation and not worth tho outlay. The jeweler was as tonished to Lear that the fine stono ho had in his hand was an imitation, and testing it slightly assured tho ouncrthnt it was a red diamond. At this the sharper laughed and stated he had bought it iu Baden Baden from a gambler out of luck for $.',0 and that tho jeweler must be mistaken, lie willingly left it until next day for further testing. AVhen ho cume the following day tho jeweler as sured him it was a real diamond (as ho we'd knew), und to back his opinion ot fered to give him sM.fSOO for it. The sharper still asserted that tho jeweler was mistaken, but ntireed to sell it for that juice on condition that he would not bo field respcnsiDle if it was afterward dis covered to bo uu imitation. This was ngri'td to, nnd a document was drawn up by which the jeweler ugreed to give $1,500 for the ring and to hold tho ven der, who had bought it and still be lieved it to be imitation, not respon sible after the hale. The transaction was concluded in the presence of witnets?s. Just before iho money was paid over nnd the ring delivered, the sharper skillfully substituted the itnita t.ou and puhnuv. the diamond, iu u few days hftiTwtird, when the fraud was dis covered, although the schemer was still :i the spot, the dupe hail no remedy, us, in the document he had signed, he had agreed to purchase tho stone wbethrt Imitation or not. I could tell you many well-verified anecdotes of this descript ion but they are all variations of ono plan. After confidenco i inspired a sudden skillful stroko is played which is gen erally undiscovered until it is too late." "Is it a fact that stones having all tho properties of the diamond havo been produced by scientific means?" "Tho first efforts to produce diamonds dates back to tho middlo agos. It must be admitted, however, that during tho last half century tho systematic experi ments of many scientists, in Franco es pecially, havo been rewarded with some amount of success. Such great minds as Sir David Brewster, Do Lntour, Gannal, Deprctz, etc., havo given themselves to this exciting pursuit. Tho scope ond method of their experiments are too in volved for a brief explanation. It is tin deniablo from tho experiments of Do prctz and Do Chancourtois (which are tho most recent) that diamonds can bo produced by tho action of strong electric currents and intense heat. Tho gems produced so far havo been of tho very smallest size; tho only problem now is whether gems of merchantable dimen sions can be manufactured in tho samo way." Old Age. VTith every year the average duration of life is increased, nud we have mora old peoplo on our hands. Naturally, the question becomes of increasing in terest, How shall we secure a healthful old ago, nnd how can wo prolong in comfort this senility? Some curious information regarding this subject, though more especially re garding what may be called "centena rianism," has been published by a gen tleman of Syracuse, N. Y., who, we are informed, has collected the histories of 10,000 peoplo that havo passed the ago of 100 years. According to this author ity, tho United States leads in centena rian longevity, while Connecticut is ahead among the States. As to sex, women; as to occupation, soldiers, sailors and farmers are the longest lived. Among tho professions, 100 ministers, thirty doctors and ten lawyers reached their centennial. Of more practical and scientific char acter are the statistics regarding longev ity obtained by tho British Collective Investigatfon'commitlce. These are based upon over 500 returns, and relate to per sons who have reached or passed the ago of eighty. Professor Humphroy, of Cambridge, has given eomo interesting deductions based upon the returns in an oration de livered betoro the Medical society, of London. The first requisite for longevity must be an inherent quality of endurance, a something which is inborn and per haps inherited. It is noticeable that the phthisical taint does not necessarily les sen the capacity for longevity. Among GOO aged persons, phthisis appeared in fathers, mothers, brothers, or sisters of eighty-two, that ie, in about seventeen per cent. In one caso both father and mother were phthisical, A second requisite for long life is freedom from exposure to casualties. It is on this ground, in part, that more women than men reach extreme age. Other reasons, however, are, perhaps7 a greater natural vitality, since even in early lifo tho mortality is less among fe males than males. It does not seem to be proved by tho data collected that short and small men and women have any advantage over those who are taller and larger. The average height of old Englishmen is five feet six inches, that of women five feet three inches. Sir Henry Thompson, in a recent arti cle on "Diet in delation to Age," has called attention to tho harm that comes from attempts to over-feed old peonlo. They are injured, ho truly says, by the so licitous relatives, who think that in feeding there is suro help for the waning strength. The old need a light diet to correspond with the lessened work and slower nu trition and waste of their tissues. Medi cal Record. Zuni Table Etiquette. Among the Zunis Indianswith a guest at tho tahle, it would bo considered shameful for any one of the household to cease eating whilo any other remained obviously unsatisfied ; and equally shame ful for any ono not to cease eating very soon after even one of the others if a respected or elderly one had done so. When guest or inmate, man or child, ceases eating he clears his throat and ex claims: "E'ltth-kwa! S"ha-yu-shhh- nai-e!" (Thanks! I have been satisfied!) Ine instant rcply.niado by all the elderly women, is: "El-i-ta!" (Eat well!) to which tho first speaker finally responds: "Lathl-e-lah-kwa-, ha's-i po-ti-k'ia." (Thanks again; I am filled.) And the women add: "Ita-i-na-wel" (Have eaten, then!) The MUUtune. General Custer's Pet. At one time General Custer tamed a tiny field-mouse and kept it in a largo empty inkstand on his desk. It grew very fot d of him, and ran over his head and shoulders and even through his hair. I had, fortunately, only to ke.-p away from tho desk when tho little creature was free, for it was contented to consider that his domain. The general, thinking at last that it was cruel to detain the lit t lo ono indonrs, wdien it belonged by naturo to the fields, took it out and left it on tho plain. The kindness was of 110 earthly use; like the oft-niioted prisoner of lius tilo, it was back again at tho stops in no time nnd prefcired captivity to free dom. Mrs. Cutter'n lieiuininecuiet.

Fish Neat ittnd hy lfpnrlntr 'P 'rhitiinnil of Prbblra-I'irierenco of Opinion Among Uhermen. A letter from the Pyramid Islands to the New York unhasthe following: "Stop her!" shouted tho man in tho bow. A second later tho boat sheared olT, just avoiding a pile of stones that loomed up on tno sandy bottom like a regular pyramid. '"What is it?" asked somo ono. "Looks like a dump from a steamer." "It must bo that," said the bowman, leaning over nnd grasping some of tho stones from tho top of tho heap. "They ro clean pebbles, and look as though they had been piled purposely. The speaker had an oar overboard, and was holding the bont over tho pile, so that all hands could see it, and that mo ment ono of the professional fishermen came rowing along. "Looking at tho chub bods?" ho shouted. "We're looking at a heap of stones," replied tho discoverer. "Wall, thorn's chub beds," replied the fisherman. "Chubs makes 'cm. Chubs is linh." "You don't tell mo that a fish heaped up these rocks, do you?" asked an as tonished and incredulous voyager. "That's just what I'm a-sayin'," wns tho reply; "and not only this, but half a, dozen more right in sight of this. Just 6tand up nud look." The writer stood upon a scat, and, sure enough, live other heaps appeared, all within a radius of twenty-five feet, and all larger than the one first noticed. Ono was at least ten feet across at the bnso and four feet high, making the water shallow enough upon the top to stop a small boat. Some of the stones weighed a quarter of a pound, but the most of them were of all shapes and sizes, from that of a pea up to an oblong stono of the weight given. In the largest pile) there were probably soven or eight bush els, representing thousands of stones, counting the smallest, ahd each ono of these represented a journey by a fish. "Yes," continued tho fisherman, who had hauled alongside, "all that work was done by a fish, and what is more, I have seen them do it seen them with tho stones in their mouth. If you take rot ice of a chub you will sco that it has a mouth with a kind of smooth lips, and no teeth to speak of; in fact, the mouth is regularly fixed for lifting stones and tho like." "But what do they do it fori" asked some one. "Why, to lie on, I s'poso," said the boatman. "I've seen them lying on the beds in June, half a dozen at a time, sometimes right near the top of the water. Somo folks say how they build the beds so they kin get near the top of tho water and seo what's going on, but there don't seem to be much sense in that. What does a fish want with pyra mids? It don't stand to reason. 1 be lieve they do it for a sort of loafing place, and all hands join in bringing a stone until, as you sco, they build up a regular fish monument." "Is this the only place in which they are found?" asked an observer. "Bless you, no. You kin find 'em all along shore wherever there's a good sandy or clear bottom jest like this, and up among the Canadian islands they're as thick es hops. I've often run into 'em when rowing along shore, but the biggest ones ore those that have been growin' for years, so to speak. They couldn't make a big one in a year very well, as you can see, so every year they add to them. They'd be bigger yet if it wasn't for the ice that clears the tops oil every spring. But if you notice you will see that the top stones are the brightest and cleanest, whilo those around the bottom are dirty and moss covered. The ones at the bottom are the old last year stones." It was curious to notice the difference of opinion among the fishermen, who have lived here all their lives, as to the pyramids. "What do you think makes them?" was asked of the intelligent man. "I don't think anything about it," he replied. "I know it's mifskrats." "But the muskrats couldn't get into a pile of rocks and gravel," was sug gested. "That's jest what puzzled me," con tinued the fisherman. "But I've seen a muskrat uodcr water on a heap and killed it right there. No, I never seo one bringing rocks, but whatvashedoin' on tho mound if he wan't totin' stone? He might have had his mouth full and I wouldn't have seen it." "Why?" "Because I've seen the big bass fool ing around them and lying right on top of them, and not once, but a good many times. What would they be doin' if they wasn't there for that purpose? And to show you how they stick to the heaps. I havo dropped a hook down among five or six big fellows that were banging around on the heap, and yanked half of taem out by getting tho hook under them. So it's my opinion that bass made them. I know they call them chub beds." These two men and a few others were tho only oues who dillcred with our first informant, and it is a fact well known to naturalists that the heaps are built or erected by chubs (Exoglassum) for the protection of their eggs. The chub is a fish that attains here a weight of two pounds, and is often taken on a Hy or minnow, and affords good sport. In other localities, as the North Woods, they are known as suckers, but I never found that iu the inland lakes they built at all, but it is not improbable, as the name stonetoter is alsf given them there. They are fine-looking fishes, shiuinu like silver in the sunlight, and almost as gamy as a black bass. Incidental to a Good Dish. It is said there are seven chances against even the most simple dish being presented to the mouth in absolute per fection; for instance, a leg of mutton: First, the mutton must bo good. Sec ond, must have been kept a good time. Third, must be roasted at a good (ire. Fourth, by a good cook. Fifth, who must be in a good temper. Sixth, with all this felicitous combination you must have good luck, and, seventh, good ap petite. The meat, and the mouths which are to eat it must be ready for each other ) at the same moment. The Vook'i Oracle. Everything that has been learned in Youth, and everything that we learn day by day, can be converted into power that ahull make us better parents and children, better brothers and sisters,bet- j tor neighbors and ritizons, better men 1 into living activity by character and will. Contempt, even in its incipient state, banishes all real benevolence or helpful ness. It kills tho sentiment, destroys the desire, and banishes the power of doing good. Attempts to assist another mado in this spirit are like alms thrown scornfully to a beggar; they can only insult nnd wound without benefiting cither tho giver or tho receiver. Tho distinguished U. 8.

Recent discussions bare named several causa. Hon. C H. Reere.ef Indiaaa, charge It to infidel teachings holding that hopelessness of a future state cripples forti tude for bearing life's ills. Another dcl..res suffering from the universal business depres sion tha cause. A third writer attributes it to increasing Insanity, a physician thinks much of tha tendency ! inherltnd, while tem perance advocates lay the responsibility upon strong drink. Free-thinkers have committed suicide, but to have orthodox churchmen. Financial straits have beset many, but tbe wealthy have also taken their life. Insanity and dissipation have preceded suicides and family murders. One feature) common to almost every such crime challenges attention. Well nigh every report of suicide and family murder mentions the perpetrator as having "for some time b(H?u subject to melancholy." Whence comes this? All recognized medical authorities tell us that the fire which consumes the brain is always kindlod by derangements of digestion; that good dic-estion is impossible without pure uhkxi, ana pure mood is never known when the liver and kidneys are out of order. Under such circumstances, a preventive should be sought, and for this Warnrs safe cure is sovereign a fact conceded by the liest authorities in the land, and it is especially commended by the celebrated Dr. Dio Lewis.
