I. had the imitation one which had' been palmed off upon me readily in my bund, and under pretence of trying the effect of the gem on my linger, I easily substitu ted the one for the other, slipped the false ring on my finger, admired it, as in duty hound, and then, pul ling it off, handed it hack to my neighbor, who in turn gave it to the American. "I put the real diamond which I had secured into my pocket, and finished my coffee hastily, just as Brother Jonathan was making an ap pointment with a rich Frenchman to meet at the shop of a lashionablejeweler next morning and ask his opinion on the value of the gem. "And since it has taken your fancy said the unsuspicious American 'you shall hev it for the same sum the jeweler offers me for it. I can't say fairer than that, now, can I ? "I went back to the railway sta iton, got my bag, changed my hat and coat in the waiting-room, slip ped into the hotel, and next day set oft* for Canes. "My only regret was that I was unable to make a study of the Amer ican's face when the Baris jeweler put a price on his beautiful diamond next morning." young Remarkable Surgery. The science of surgery lias imule such wonderful progress in modern times, tiiat most intricate and deli cate operations are now undertak en and carried to a successful issue. There are now several well authen ticated cases of what is known as pneumotony, that it to say, the re moval of diseased portions of the lungs in case of consumption. While however this delicute operation lias sometimes been successfully perfor med, the risks uttendeng it are so great, and the chances of recovery so slight, tiiat it is seldom resorted to. The safest plan in consumptive cases is to use Dr. Pierce,s (»olden Medical Discovery. This will always cure the disease in its earlier stageB, thoroughly arresting the ravages of the terrible maledy, by removing its cause and healing the lungs. Pine straw, or "needles,'' make very good liftier for stables and an absorbent of the liquid manure. But of themselves they are not of much value. They contain six pounds of phosphate of lime per 1000 pounds, but very little other useful matters. The Price of Diamonds. "When I was in London a short time ago." said Mr. D. De S Mendes, the diamond cutter of Maiden Lane, I was allowed as a special favor to sue the great diamond that was found last year in South Africa. I think they are to cull it the Jubilee diamond, but I believe it is not yet numed. It is the whitest stone in the world, and one of the largest, and is owned by eight persons on shares, the value being more than any one even of the enormously rich diamond dealers can afford. "When found it was of an irreg ularly shape, being somewhat like an egg with the small end somewhat elongated. The owners, in order to reduce it to a regular shape, split oil the end, and, after cutting the fragment, found they had a forty carat brilliant, which they sold to the King of Portugal for £40,000 The value of the remainder was not impaired by the subscription of this trille, but rather enhanced, since the split was successful, and the shape of the stone improved. It is valued by the owners at a million and a half, sterling, and any gentleman who wishes to invest in a rather costly trille cannot do better than to examine it. "The owners intend keeping it un til the Prince of Wales succeeds to the throne of England, and then try ing to sell it to them. Failing this sale, it is hard to tell what they will do with it." "Who are the owners now ?" was asked of Mr. Mendes. "I do not think I'd better men tion names" with that caution which a dealer in diamonds must need liuve. "There is considerable mys tery maintained about it, and it would not, perhaps, be safe to tell all the facts, even if I knew them, about when the stone was found, who bought it and what they paid, 1 know that there is such a stone however, for I have seen it, and I know' that it is owned in light shares, for the gentleman who show ed it to me owns one-eighth. "It is diflieult for people outside the business to realize the enormous wealth of the diamond dealers of London," he continued. "As an in dication,TliUVy say that the same gentleman showed RIC one package of stones aggregating 5,1 MX) 'enrats^ which he valued ut live guineas a carat. This was by no means his stock in trade. It was one of a number of packages. "lie is one of the shareholders in the two great companies which prac tically control the diamond market of the world. They are the Central Diamond Mining Company and the Kimberly Diamond Mining Com pany. Between the two they own or control every important claim in the world in which diamonds are found. There are in Africa, for as it is well known, the supply from the old mines has entirely ceased. The two companies control hun dreds of millions of capital, and were formed by a consolidation of all the small companies owning claims, for the purpose of controll ing the output, and so keeping up the value of diamonds." ln SL Oswald's church, Win wick, 011 the western side of the tower there is a stone on which is a carv ing of a pig, which is said to have been placed there to commcmorato the story that when the first church was built in the time of King Os wold, tiie foundation-stone was laid on the site of a pigsty, whose occu pants being angry at the disturb ance, removed the stone to the pre sent position of the church, and their angry grunts are said to have formed the word "Winwick ! effigy of the pig remains ; the story may or may not be believed. Tile story the other day about the pious little hoy who tried to walk on the water in the bath tub, re calls another 011 an equally pious lit tle girl. She was eight years old and lived in the country. She had started one day rather late for school with another little girl about her own age. On their way they caught glimpse of a clock dial through an open door ; it lacked five minutes of The a ». "Oh dear !" exclaimed the pious little girl. "It's five minutes to 9 and we'll be late to school." "I'm afraid we will." "Jennie," said the pious little girl, impressively. "I'll tell you what we must do ; we'll kneel right down here and pray that we won't be late!" "ITm !" said the other. "I guess we'd better skin right along and pray as we go !" They "skun" and got there. Wedding Rings. In speaking of wedding rings, we leurn (Hays the New York Jewelery News) that these important symbols have not always been manufactured from that precious metal gold. We are told that in lieu of a ring the church key has often been used; and Walpole tells of au instance where a curtain ring was employed. The Duke of Hamilton fell so violently in love with the younger of the cele brated Misses Gunning, at a party in Lord Chesterfield's house, that two days after he sent for a parson to perform the marriage ceremony ; but as the Duke had neither license nor ring, the clergyman refused to act. Nothing daunted, Hamilton declared he "would send for the archbishop." At last they were married with a ring of the bed-cur tain at half-past twelve at night at Mayfair Chapel. Forgetful bride grooms have been reduced to greater straits than this even ; in one in stance a leather ring had, on the spur of the moment, to be cut out of a piece of kid, from the bride's glove. A tragic story of a forgotten wedding ring is told in the "Lives of the Lindseys." When lie should have been at church, Colin Lindsey, the young Karl of Halcarres, was «puietly eating his breakfast in night gown and slippers ; when reminded that Mauritia of Nnsaau was waiting him at the altar, he hurried to the church, but forgot the ring. A triend present gave him one, which he, without looking at, placed on the bride's finger. After the ceremony was over, the Countess glanced at her hand, and beheld a grinning death's head on her ring. She faint ed away, and the omen made such an impression on her, ihat on recov ering she declared that she was to die within a year ; a presentiment that probably brought about it own fulfillment ; for in a few months the careless Colin was a widower. Good Manners, Never try to outshine, hut to please. Never press a favor when it seems undesired. Never intrude ill health, pains, losses or misfortunes. Never unavoidably wound the feelings of a human being. Never talk or laugh aloud in pub lic places Ol Upon the street. Never forget that V^Uiljity has its origin in ignorance or selfisnîî"? 5 ^ Never urge another to do any thing against his desire unless you see danger before him. Do not ask another to do what you would not be glad to do under similar circumstances. Never omit to perform a kind act when it can he d< on able amount of exertion. Never needlessly wound the van ity of another or dilate unnecessari ly upon disagreeable subjects. Do not make witticisms at the ex pense of others which you would not wish to have made uj selves. Remember that good manners are thoughts filled with kindness and refinement and then translated into the behavior. Be not ostentious in dress or de portment ; nothing can he more vul gar. See that costumes lit the time and occasion. Be rude to none ; rudeness harms not even the humblest and poorest to whom it is directed, hut it injures the exhibitors. your !

It lias been a question as to whether or not natural gas would float a balloon to any considerable height. This one was filled from a pipe from a well until a gauge indicated that the silk which was enclosed in strong netting was bearing 20 pounds pressure. When George Ayers, an amateur aeronaut, climbed into the basket and the balloon was was cut loose, it rose steadily until an altitude of about,2500 feet was reached when a current of air was struck which bore the balloon and its single passenger away to the southeast. Since then nothing lias been seen or heard from him. Curious Facts. Printing was introduced into Kng land in 1474. Many of the interior towns of Oregon arc raising money to import song birds from Germany. Rearing dogs for their skins is practiced in Manchlria and Mongo lia just as sheep farming elsewhere. An instrument of torture, termed "the boot," was used in Scotland upon the Covenanters about 1GGG. It was not an uncommon practice for the poor in the Middle Ages to sell themselves into slavery' or to become slaves by debt. Between Christmas, 1 day, 1762, it is estimated that no less than 81,115 slaves were im ported into Jamaca alone. James II succeeded to the throne of England February G, 1685 ; ad dicted December 11,1688; died in ex ile September 1G, 1701. Twenty out of twenty-four sheep belonging to Mr. Edwards of Guild ford county, Va., were killed by a stroke of lightning. A farmer at Adairsville, Ga., while near a spring the other day, obser ved a rattlesnake lying at full length with head erect and only a few feet away was a full grown rabbit, evident ly under the charm of the snake. The latter was quickly killed, when the rabbit fell over and in a few min utes was dead. Prof. Angelo Motta died recently at Turin, Italy. He had for years been at work upon a process by which, with the aid of electricity, he hoped to be able to convert the hu man body into solid metal. He had succeeded with the arm of an infant and with various smaller animals. His secret died with him. In the Mediterranean regions the steep meuntain slopes and hillsides are terraced for the culture of or anges, lemons and olives, and these terraces arc held in place by rough stone walls, laid up without mortar or cement. Behind these loose walls trees, shrubs, and vines are grown with the greatest success, as they have been for centuries. A silver crown piece, known as "the petition crown" of the reign of Charles II, fetched $1775 at a recent sale in England. At the latest pre vious sale a sovereign coin had brought only $1125. A sovereign of Edward VI.'s time brought $5.25 a fifty shillihg piece of the Cromwell era $7011, an Oxford crown $G85. A and the 4 M*nny of Ktoelbabd brought $230, sind »hl pennies $90 Und $80 each. How to Cure Hic^ghfiTg. A company of young people who had evidently visited the Wild West exhibition on Staten Island, board ed the train at the South Ferry sta tion. They were a jolly set, and pass ed the time in joking and jesting until the train reached Grand street when one of the young women was seized with violent hiccoughing. The attack was so aggravated that it see med as if the girl would choke. Various sugestions as to methods of relief were offered. One told her to hold her breath as long as she could. She attempted it and did as directed until she became actually livid, but she could hold out no lon ger, and gave vent to a mighty hic cough which sounded like an explo sion. "I've got a sure cure," interjected one of her companions, "and if you'll follow my advice I will guarantee ! its efficacy.

The inodes of death's approach arc ver , and statistics show conclusively that more persons die from diseases of the Throat and Lungs than any other. It is probable that everyone, without exce pteon, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system and where these germs fall upon suitable soil they start into life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slight tickling sensation - in the throat and if allowed to continue their ravages they extend to the lungs producing Consumption causing Catarrh. Now all this is danger ous and if allowed to proceed will in time cause death. At the outset vou must act with promptness ; allowing a cold to go without attention is dangerous and may lose you your life. As soon as you feel that something and to the head, wrong with your Throat, Lnngs or Nostrils, obtain a bot tle of Boschee's German Syrup. It will give you immediate relief.
