HOW TO TELL IF YOUR DIAMOND IS REAL' Testing your diamonds to be sure they are real is likely a gift -horse occupation and Should not be encour- aged, thdugih the tests lite experts have to detect the excellent imita- tions made to -day are many and fas- cinating. The following diamond or- deals which jewelers use are guar- anteed fun-makers—if you are sure of your stones. It is generally thought that a gem is genuine if it will "cut glass." As a matter of fact, any very hard sub- etance having a sharp edge will scratch glass so deeply that the mark would generally be called a "cut," so that this is really no test. ,at all. The usual jeweler's test is made witlh a file. No genuine diamond can be charmed with a steel file, but no imi- tation can stand its rasping, provided the file is reasonably sharp and both it and the !stone are free from grease. All imitation diamonds are a form of glass and contain silex, have it rete to aluminum to a remarkable de- gree. $o, to test a diamond, have its surface free from grease and mark it with an aluminum pencil. 'If the stone is genuine the mark* may be readily rutibed off without leaving a trace+ and without injury to the atone,I but if the gem is false the marksI cannot be erased by any amount of friction, and even acid will not re- move them entirely. If a small drop of water is placed upon' the face of a diamond ' and moved about with the point of a pin the drag twill retain its globular form, but on the surface of an imitation' the drop of 'Water will spread. An- other water test is made by immerse ing the stone in a glass of the fluid; a genuine diamond will be distinctly visible and chine clearly through the water, while an imitation will be al- anust invisible and will not gleam. A genuine diamond, rubbed on wood or metal, after having been ex- posed to the light from an electric are, becomes phosphorescent in dark- ness, but this does not occur with imitations. Tests which are absolutely con- clusive, but which will result in the destruction of the stone if not genuine, are as follows: Heat the stone to be tested, after giving it a coating of paste made from borax, and while it is very hot let it fall into cold water. A dia- mond will undergo the ordeal with- out the slightest injury, but a glass jewel will fall to pieces. Or place the stone 'between two coins—say half dollars—and try to crush it with the fingers. No one can injure a real diamond in this way, but almost any- one can crush an imitation to bits. Ifydmo-0tuoric acid dissolves all imi- tation diamonds, but has no effect on genuine stones. The amateur ,if in earnest, should not depend absolutely upon any one tesit, but if a stone passes through several of those suggested without shadow of questions it may be very safely considered to be the real thing. This caution is necessary, not be- cause any one of the tests is not in itself conclusive, but .because of probable inexpertness on the part of the amateur, who might misjudge his results or be a little off in his proce- dure. On the hyd;ro.fluoric acid test alone, however, he could absolutely depend, provided the stone is left in the acid a reasonable time. CURRENT WiT AND WISDOM.

Every rheumatic sufferer should realize that rheumatism is rooted in the blood and that to get rid it must be treated thropgh the blood. The old belief that rheumatism was caus- ed by cold, damp weather, is now ex- ploded. Such weather conditions may start the pains, but it is not the cause. Liniments and outward ap- plications Wray give temporary relief, but that is all they can do because they do not reach its sources in the blood. The sufferer from rheuma- tism who experiments withoutward applications is only wasting timeand money in depending upon such treat- ment; the trouble still remains, and it is all the time becoming more firmly rooted. Treat this disease through the blood and you will soon find relief. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills act directly on im- pure, weak blood; they purify and strengthen it, and so act on the cause of the rheumatism. Mr. P. J. MacPherson, R. R. No. 5, Cardigan, P. E. I., says: "About three years ago I was attaekej with rheumatism. I began taking lji-. Wlildiams' Pink Pills and soon the trouble disappeared and I am in better health than before. I also know of an old lady acquaint- ance who was badly crippled with rheumatism in her arms and legs, and Who suffered very much. She too, took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and is now able to do her housework. I tell you this in the hope it may .be of benefit to some other sufferer." You can procure Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or they will be sent you by fl at 50 cents a box or six boxes fat $2.50 by writing direct to The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont.
