An Easy Test of Diamonds.
Recent experiments by an expert
prove that the .diamond emits light
when rubbed on wood, cloth or metal.
The fact that it becomes luminous by
rubbing on metal shows that the phe
' nomenon is not electric. As imitation
diamonds and other hard stones do not
exhibit this phenomenon, the property
will be valuable as an easy test of the
genuineness of the diamond.

MASKED BEFORE MARRIAGE.
A Feminine Failing Which la Often the
Cause of Foat-?.nptjal Mjsery.
There fs no doubt that a great deal
of the unhappiness : of married life
arises from the fact that when a man
is courting a girl he only sees her "at
her best," both' as regards temper,
looks and everything else. After mar
riage he is rudely disillusioned and
vaguely wonders whether this snappy
young woman wH-h untidy ' hair and
perhaps a shine on her nose can be
the sweet-tempered, faultlessly-dressed,
lovely Angelina of a few months ago.
Yes, young man, says the New York
Advertiser, she is Angelina right
enough, only she has, so to say,
thrown " off her mask, now she has
"got you," and appears in her true
colors, which are not quite of so fas
cinating -a hue as those that dazzled
your lovesick eyes in the courting
period. It is nearly every girls am
bition to get married. She lays her
self out to do so, and any little artifice
that will enhance her natural charms
she has no hesitation in using. She
dresses for effect, she poses for effect,
she talks for effect, in fact, during this
stage of her life she is acting for
every woman is more or less of an
actress and it must be confessed that,
generally speaking, she acts her part
very well.
After all, it is only natural that she
should try to appear at her best and
endeavor to captivate mankind, for
marriage is the be-all and nd-all of a
society girl's existence. The worst of
it is that she cannot keep this up after
marriage. It would ' be too great a
strain both physically and mentally.
As it is, heaven only knows what ehe
goes through during the anxious time
when she is angbng for a fish, especial
ly if it be a gold fish. She molds hsr-
self to his likes and dislikes, and out
rages her own feelings, until the little
golden band on her fingers allows her
to breathe freely and declare that
Though he likes living in the ccun
try, she .detests it, and does not intend
to live there." Mr. Neuwcd is startled
and astonished. This is opan rebellion,
Yet when he was courting her she ap
peared such a meek, gentle creature, as
to have no wish or will of her own,
quite content to follow in his lordship's
footsteps. What a fool I was to get
married," he mentally exclaims, and
then in all probability the bickering
begins that renders married life one
long misery. Perhaps it now dawns
on Mr. Neuwed that when he was
courting her she was at her best. '
A word to men. When you are court.
ing a girl remember she is at her best
in every respect, and that she cannot
possibly always keep up this high
standard after marriage; so grasp the
fact that you are not going to marry
an angel, but a human being with many
faults, perhaps as many as yeu possess
yourself.
BETTING WOMEN IN ENGLAND.
One Section Where They Comprise About
Half the Race Wagerers .
A correspondent of the Birmingham
(England) Mail says: "I read your
para -aph- on "Do women bet?' I
should say that instead of being twenty
per cant, they are at the very least forty
five per cent, if not in the actual major
ity. In this immediate district there is
a system for collecting bets that beats
creation. A bookma&er, who, by tho
way, is also a license holder, employs
Jive -or six men, who, I suppose, go
under the name of clerks, each of
whom has a round or district, and
every day that is, every racing day
these men call on their respective
clients women, of eourse, whose hus
bands are at work earning money to be
thrown away. l know more than one
case where everything that can be
raked together to pawn for the pur
pose is done, and the winnings, when
they have one, go to the bookmaker for
a royal booze.
"What I should like to point out is
the mischief a man who holds a license
and is a bookmaker can do in a neigh
borhood. He not only incites to gam
bling, but also to drink. I myself have
seen scores of women enter the house
with papers, and. of course, they must
have a drink before they leave. Per
haps the public will ask how it is done.
The house in question is so surrounded
by touts that on the' approach of a po
liceman the signal is given and the
thing stopped till the coast is clear.
This is no prejudiced view ofthe mat
ter, but a real fact, which can be veri
fied daily on a walk through this dis
trict by anyone with his eyes open. It
is surely time the law stepped in and
said to the publican bookmaker: 'You
shall have no license." '.
LONG-LIVED CARP.
One Old Specimen In Fontalnbleau Is
Over Three Hundred Years Old.
When the fish commission, some years
ago, began to introduce carp into the
streams of this country it is doubtful if
they knew what a lasting mpnument
they were building. It is pretty gen
erally knOWTl. MUYra fTi WocMnn4nn
News, that the sluggish and, to fisher
men, despicable denizen of the water i3
gifted with a tenure of life, barring
chance encounter with a hook, a big
black bass with his back up or other
vicissitudes of piscatorial existence,
which exceeds that of most creatures,
but the actual age that they do attain
under favorable circumstances is ap
palling. There are very few fishermen
who haven't a yarn about some wily
old trout or bass that has been known
to frequent the same - pool for manv
years, but Assistant Secretary of State
Rockhill tells of a carp that can give
any of these fish points on how to at
tain a long life. He says that in a
pond at at , Fontainbleau there is, or
was when he was last there, a bar
nacled old carp that had been placed
in tne pona m the reign of Fxancis I.
As that monarch flourished during the
sixteenth century, Mr. Rockhill's carp
is considerably more than three hun
dred yeara old. To prevent any mis
take by future generations the gentle
man who occupied the office of commis
sioner of fish and fisheries for his royal
highness placed a metal tag in the -arp's
fin, and it is by this mark that the fish
is known from the others in this little
lake.
CUNNING OF THE COYOTE.
Not Afraid to Be Kw a Man Whom Be
Knows to Be Unarmed.
The barking liabit of the coyote is
very doglike, and hi3 old name of bark
ing wolf is very appropriate. When
collecting mammals in Wyoming, says
a writer in St. Nicholas, it was a very
common thing for us to hear the coy
otes around our camp set up a great
barking in chorus at the first sign of
daybreak, just when the roosters be
gin to crow on the farm. It is a wild
and uncultivated kind of bark, ending
in a falsetto howl, and resembles the
cry of the jackal of India more nearly
than any other sound I ever heard.
But Sir Coyote is cute. He knows ex
actly the distance that constitutes fair
rifle range, and he knows just as well
whether the stranger is armed as does
the stranger himself. When hunting
in the Shoshone mountains in 1889, I
wanted to kill a coyote for a special
purpose, but never once succeeded - in
getting a fair shot, even at two hun
dred yards. For ten days we banged
away industriously at every one we
saw, but never touched a hair. Finally,
at Corbett's ranch I left the expedition
and started north by stage, leaving be
hind me rifle, revolver, knife and even
scissors. Just two hours after" I had
said good-by to my shooting irons and
taken the buckboard "stage," we saw a
coyote ahead of us, close to the trail.
Seeing us coming, he selected a 6oft
spot, sat down within thirty yards of
the trail and waited for us. We drove
up, stopped as we got opposite him,
and still he did not run. . That villain
sat there coolly without moving a mus
cle, but with a leer that plainly said:
"Now, don't you wish you had your old
gun?" When we got through making
faces at him and wishing for a gun or a
revolver or even a common stone to fire
at him, we drove on, and then he got
up and went hunting for jack rabbit.
To this day I have been puzzling over
the question: "How did that crazy
rascal find out so quickly that both the
driver and I were totally unarmed?"
That he did know it perfectly well I
have no doubt whatever, for no coyote
ever waited like that for a man with a
gTin. ..
CRAZED ENGINEERS.
Instances in Which Unavoidable Accidents
Have CnhinKcd Men's Keason.
The strange antics of a crazy engi
neer at Alton, 111., recently suggest the
fact that insanity is ' very frequent
among railway employes. Two dra
matic illustrations may be mentioned,
There is living in New Jersey not far
from Philadelphia, says the Philadel
phia Time3, a man who for many years
was the foremost passenger engineer
between New York and Philadelphia
on the Pennsylvania railroad. He ran
all the specials 'and best trains and in
ten years never had an accident. One
night in the gleam of the headlight he
saw a woman. He had only time to see
her hands raised and to hear her cry,
and before he could put his hand upon
the . lever he felt a jerk under the
wheels and knew that all was over.
Since that niriit he has never been on
an engine". For months he did not sleep
and later became practically insane,
but only on the one point of seeing and
hearing the woman his engine killed.
Now he goes about harmlessly and
aimlessly, but he has to be kept away
from railroads, and in his fretful sleep
he awakes with cries and paroxysms of
horror. The other case is that of a man
who was conductor of a train on the
Camden & Amboy, whose train had an
accident. He came out all" right him
self, but it preyed o upon his mind
that one night he left his home, and,
going to the point where the accident
occurred, threw himself in front of a
passing train, receiving injuries from
which he died.
MUSHROOM DRUNKARDS.
The Fungus Used in Asia and Scotland to
Promote Intoxication.
The inhabitants of the northeastern
part of Asia use a mushroom to pro
mote intoxication.' It is ' known, says
the Chicago Tribune, as the illy-blown
mushroom, and is also very abundant
in Scotland. The fungus is gathered
in the hottest part of the year, and is
then hung up by a string in the open
air to dry. Some are dry before gath
ered, and these are stated to be far
more narcotic than those artificially
preserved. Usually the fungus is rolled
up like a bolus and taken without chew
ing; for, if masticated, it is said to dis
order the stomach.
One large or two small fungi produce
what is looked upon as a pleasant state
of intoxication for one day. The effect
is the same as that produced on taking
a quantity of spirits or wine, except
that it is delayed from one to two hours
after the bolus is swallowed. At first
it produces very cheerful emotions of
the mind. It renders some persons ex
ceedingly active, and it is a stimulant
to muscular exertion; thus, if a person
affected by it wishes to step over a
straw or a small stick, it impels him to
take a jump sufficient to clear a low
hedge or the trunk of a tree; it keeps
those fond of music perpetually sing
ing, and under its influence a talkative
person can neither keep secrets nor
silence for any length of time.'
Telegraphing 107 Years Ago. ,
At Dublin, Ireland, in 1788, was pub
lished a volume entitled : "Arthur
Young's Travels in France," which
contains an extract from a letter writ
ten on October 16, 1787, and which is
here transcribed: "M. Lomond is a
most ingenious mechanic. He made a
remarkable discovery in- electricity.
You write two or three words on paper;
he takes it with him into a room, and
turns a machine inclosed in a cylinder.
case, at the top of which is an electro
meter, a small fine pith ball; a wire
connects with a cylinder or electro
meter in a distant apartment, and his
wife, by remarking the corresponding
motions of the ball, writes down the
words they indicate, from which it ap
pears that he has formed an alphabet
of motions. ' As the form of the wires
makes no difference in the effect, the
correspondence may be carried en to
any distance, within or without a for
tified town; for instance, or for pur
poses much more worthy." ' "
SOME LONG BALLOON TRIPS.
A Vain Effort to Cross the Mediterranean
Voyaging from England to Germany. -
, The longest balloon voyage on record
was one undertaken in 1S83, in which
the distance traveled was a little more
than one thousand two hundred miles.
Three voyagers on that occasion, says
Harrison's Magazine, made an ascent
in France, with the intention of cross
ing Mediterranean and landing in Al
geria. The wind, however, proving
I unfavorable, carried them toward Cor-
isca. When they were near that
island the balloon descended toward
the water, and for a time their lives
were in great jeopardy. By throwing
out all their apparatus they succeeded
in getting the balloon to rise to a
height of between two and three thou
sand feet, and, traveling on to Italy,
thev safely descended in that country
a.t a little village near Brescia. An
other balloon voyage of nearly the
same length was undertaken in No
vember, 1836. On the 7th of that
month, Charles Green, with two friends,
ascended near London in a. balloon,
crossed the channel from Dover to
Calais, and, passing over France and
Belgium, found themselves the next
morning over the Rhine. Proceeding
further they arrived at Viborg, where
they descended about eight a. m. on
the Slh of November. A recent bal
loon voyage of M. Mallet, the French
aeronaut, lasted thirty-six and one
half hours and would have been the
longest on record if he had not landed
in the middle of it. He left Villette on
the 23d of October at six p. m. and
next morning landed at Ottonville, in
Alsace, to clear the snow from the
balloon. - At the end of twenty-five min-
utes"he started again and landed near
Coblentz at eight p. m. An hour and a
half later he landed once more in a
valley on Tauna mountains,' and fin
ally, on the 25th of October, at six a.
m at Walben, in Hesse. Two or three
aeronauts have proposed to cross the
Atlantic in a balloon, but so far it has
begun and ended in talk only.
