In the examina :ion of rubies artificial lUrht is not ised, the merchants holding that full sunlight alone can bring out the color and brilliancy of the ens. Hales must therefore take alace between nine a. m and three 3. m., and the sky must be clear, jays the Jewelers' Weekly. The purchaser, placed near a window, has before him a large copper plate. The sellers come to rim one by one, and each empties lpon this plate his little bag of ru bies. The purchaser proceeds to irrange them for valuation in a lumber of small heaps. The first livision is into three grades, ac cording to siie; each of these roups is divided into three piles, tccording to color, and each of :heae piles, in turn, is again divid ed into three groups, according to diape. The bright copper plate ms a curious use. The sunlight -effected from it through the' jtones brings out, with true ru nes, a color effect different from :hat with red spinels and tour nalincs, which are thus easily separated. The buyer and seller then go through a very peculiar method u bargaining by signs, or, rather, jrips. in perfect silence. After igreeing upon the fairness of the 'lapsificalion, they join their ight handy, covered with a hand- cercltief or the flap of a garment. mil by grirs and pressures mu tually understood among all these lealers, they make, modify an(- a,. ept proposals of purchase and ale. The hands are then uncov- red and the prices are recorded. Patient In an Insane Asylum Had Beaaon Restored by a Oood Hearty Laugh. Four hundred aud sixty-four trains enter and leave the New fork central station every day. Gazette and Oregonian $2. Some time ago a patient in an insane asylum was suffering from extreme melancholia. lie did nut laugh or mile. Day after day he sat or walked with an expression of settled melan :holy on his face. Months passed with out bringing any change in his con dition. Ifinally his physician resolved to try a new form of treatment the laugh-cure. He employed a large, Jovial, hearty man to come to the pa tient's door every day and laugh; What peals the visitor , sent ringing through the whole establishment, of deep, melodious, aide-shaking laugh ter, to Joyous, hearty and infectious that everyone who heard was com pelled to join it! But the melancholy sufferer looked at the laughing man with the same deep immovable gloom upoa his face. One day. while the laughter was convulsing everyone in hie vicinity, the patient suddenly topped pacing his room and burst info a hearty laugh. The effect was mag ical. The light of reason shone once more in his face. He looked around in a dazed way and asked: "Where am I? What is thie place?" The black ckmde of gloom had been diepersed. The melancholia had departed. The man was in his right mind7 again. Laughter had done for him what the physician, the drugs and all the treatment at the asylum had failed to do. Intoxicated Waepe. Wasps have a great fondneis for overripe fruit, especially pears, plums and sweet apples. The sugar of these fruits has a tendency to pass into a kind of al cohol in the ordinary process of rotting, and after imbibing large quantities of this liquid the wasps become outrageously intoxicated. They crawl away in the grass in a semi-somnolent condition and re main till the effects have passed off, when they will go at it again. It is while in this condition that they do their worst stinging. A' '.lerson receiving a sting from one of these intoxicated wasps will suffer severely from nerve poison ing for days. Nature.
