When a child, in the deep quiet of a lienle on the great brilliant green prairie, I used to go out bummer morniugs when the aun first shot ever ehe eaetern rim, to wench the marvel of the dew. The orb a the grassy world Sown with pearls that !subdued its gorgeous color to cool and perfect emerald, lay Against a sky of rose and ivory, a bloom ot heavenly tint. ing changed at the first direct ray of the sun. All toe soon the blaze of gold was over the slopes, the soft %dor glowed, and the fields were twinkling as with seed of sters. What were fairy tales, or Arabian Nights— what was the Velley of Diamonda with its heaps of glassy treaaure to this sight where myriad brilliants were aown with nsatchleas art en the deep green which best displayed them! The secret of those mornings alone in the Field of Jewels is no more to be bold than the splendors of Elfland by the mortal who has been spirited thither. The clear dew, olearest thing in nature, trembled alternately ailver and crystal on the clover, Leat as one looked, vivid flames of blue fire, red and gold, shot out of its depths, here burned a spark of ruby, there one of emerald, the golden glow of a tiny sun that changed as it hung to a piercing dart of blue like electric fire, and where the pure drop caught the full rays of the sun it flashed them back in a blaze of white light—the. gleam of the screreign diamond, all colors IP OWN 1 eOuld epend hour§ noW, watching the wonderful play of light on the limpid, matchless jewels of the dew just as I used when a child of twelve or girl in her teens. the pure color, the fine, evanescence create one of the most exquisite spectacles in no - tura. It is a delight of one of our keenest instinots—the love of light which we share with plants and animals. The love of color and light hereditary in prindtive nations lea& to the love of jewels which are impri- soned lighb. Watching the fields strewn with 'Vanishing diamonds, sapphires and stars, I used to long to gather and possess them. When I have seen the light fall in a broad beam on a fine solitaire diamond,• I have said to myself "Here is the embodied dew." If I love superb stones, it is for their likeness to the heaven -lighted drops of the morning, and I own to a deep admiration for jewels of all kinds—to look at, not to wear. The dew saved ate from any perilous liking for diamonds, for dazzle as they would, they were neither so clear nor so full of fire as the drops I had seen strewing the crer s of the moon. Yet I will go far out of my way any time to sae a fine stone, which holds such secrets of fire and flood and world -designing under its seal of silence; and so it was one after- noon when the light was best, the owner of one of the finest collections in the United States at least, opened the doors of a curious Japan cabinet and showed in their velvet trays, ruby, spinel, hyacinth, alraandine, ellow garnet, iris'aquamarine and sunstone with their kindred. Some of the gems were too fine to be trust- ed behind bevelled glass and triple, inlaid locks,- and were taken out of a fireproof safe built into the wall. The keeping of such costly toys involves no little care and risk. For one thing, the windows of the rooms where the collection is kept are of that polished plate glass which you cannot look through from the outside, a precaution so that no prying eye across the street can overlook the scene when the owner is show- ing the jewels to Ms friends. I an only tell You at this time some of the things learned about diamonds, told with sparkle and spirit while the keen -eyed collector %Med the smooth gems through his fingers as if their touch was a pleasure. The colored stones la,y in heaps over the white velvet mat on which he showed them, for few of them are mounted save a Citeek engraved gem or two, some quaint heavy old atone rings and Indian ornaments whose fancy added richness to the jewels. The stones have been gathered in strange quar- ters of the world, from negro huts in Guiana, from Te.nama venders, the little shops of Mexican gold workers, from by -streets in me. and Rio .,Jeneera e, teem ilavaneise inexchants, a,rom bailors an Australian gold dtggere. As the owner said, the pasznon fonsuch things is nothing to the fascination of collecting them. He began with a few inexpeneive specimens when a yoeng man, and the collection has grown •for nearly forty years'and is proof of what eau be ac• complishedin gathering the choicest things even without a large fortune. "Let me show you the diamond with its relative, which is often set with it and taken for it, in showy ornaments. You will nob know one from the other," as the glittering stones lay flashing back the sunshine in white inaufferable light. "These are dia- monds and white topaz—tell them apart if you can.

The topaz has no such property. If I had known when you were coming, 1 would have exposed a diamond for you in the forenoon. Often you might find one roasting here on the window sash wherenobody would notice it. • The servants have taken my crystals so often for diamonds and I have offered all they wanted so freely that if they found the Kohinoor under foot they would only take it for 'one of the old gentleman's pebble stones' as the parlor girl called a specimen worth her year's wage% Look here one moment." A. handful of colorless brilliant stones, looking alike, were laid before me. could not say they were not all diamond% "These are five different stones which might any of them be taken for diamonds even by persons used to handling them.

One diamond of the finest water shone eonspktous hi its keen light. Of none ot the rest could I feel certain, though I have been credited with " the 'Rinse for dia- monds.° "Very well, now see if you cat tell what these are," producing a white velvet tray which held red, blue, yellow and brown transparent stone, "Rubies, I suppoae' and pale emerald, aquamarine er smokedtopaz."

It has been discovered by scientists that the habit of chewing gum by ladies causes a beard to grow on the chin. The constant working of the under jaw is said to in some manner stimulate the roots of the almost in- visible hairs on the beautiful female chin, and in timers profuse set of chin whiskers make their appearance. A Boaton lady was the first to discover that the whirs' ker which had appeared on her chin was caused by chewing gap, and she told a doctor" who be- gan experimenting. He selectedseveral young ladiea who were just beginning to chew gum and watched them, and recorded the progress of. the hair growing. Girls in the same family who did not chew gum were not troubled in the same manner, so it was clear that chewing gum wars the cause. Since the doctor published the result of his obser- vations and, warned the ladies of what would be the result if they acquired Vie gum habit very few Boston ladies have looked upon the gum when it was red, or any other color, for that matter.
