set stone, you have at least the advantage ~of
stone is crusted up with what it pleaséb some
jewelers to call gold. Secondly, buy no
stone of any value without a written state-
ment of iths weight, verified before the pur-
chasers eyes, and thirdly, recollbt ‘that all

beryls, topaz es, ametbists, turquois. garnets
and onyxs are comparatively very cheap in-

render enormous prices simply waste of
