DEAFNESS PREVENTABLE.
Doctor 11rg , Treatment of Symp-
toms in Children.
Dr. MacLeod Yearsleyi recently:.
at: the British Health Conference,
contributed a valuable paper , on
"The Prevention of Deafness in
Children," in which `he stated that
most of -the oases of deafness
which occurred after •' birth : were
preventable. He ennunierated the
common r ausa;•s of deafness in
adults -which were traceable. to ne-
glect of the same in their childhood,
and urged that if the early symp-
toms ef
ymptoms"'of defective hearing were,
checked there would be far fewer
cosec o£' deafness among adults.
This i•s 'know ledge t, nnot be

who have money and do not know

Sometimes a find as made among
the oddments of a provincial jewel-

the ;gold which they •contain. A
pa'wnbroker's in Edinburgh has
yielded a very fine Flemish pen-

shop a charming eighteenth century
buckle has been bought for a few
shillings.
Even of more splendid things the
collector must not despair (though
being over -sanguine may lead him
into the toils of the forger), and he
should keep his eyes open, and
know all he can of all sides of his
subject, so as to be ready for any
chance that may came his way. Was

TO DISCOVF-B, FR1tTTDS.
One Way of distinguishing them is
to hold them to the lips (they must
not be warmed by having been
worn); the real .stones feel cold,
while the phste feels soft and warm.
Doublets are more deceitful than
paste and harder to detect, espe-
cially with colored stones. If as:
pale stone has a rich colored glass
ease it not only makes a. large stone
out of a small one, but improves
the color immensely, This, how-
ever, may be easily detected by ap-
plying a test for hardness under--
neath. '
An even more sophisticated form
has been invented which has a. thin
layer of stone cemented to the base
as well. These triplets, as they are
called, are very likely to betray the
unwary. , Suspected stones should
be removed from their settings and
soaked in hot water or chloroform,
which dissolves the cement and the
whole thing falls to pieces.
