Tha Pitt Diamond.
While Pitt, the grand rather of Lord
Chathaiili waa governor of Fort St.
(ieorgo In 1BII8 lie became acquainted
willr a Jewel men limit named Jam
chiiud, who brought a diamond of
great 7.i for aale. He asked 3O.W0
for U In the rough. It shnuld, of
course, have been iKiught on iH-hnlf of
the company, but I'itl, seeing money
In it, could not resist the temptation
of making n private bargain, lie bd
enmu the possessor of the ston for
the Hum of 20,100, and be wag quite
satisfied that he hail behaved honor
ably when he paid the man, who on
his part was also content. Hut the
diamond was known to be worth more
than Jiimclninil bad received; and the
transaction gave rise to a good deal
of gossip, which la no way decreased
when Inter on Pitt had the atone cut
In Kivgland and sold It " the regent of
Prance for 133.000. Even thnt enor
mous sum did not represent Its true
value. The stone was set in the royal
crown of France. It weighed 410
carats in the rongb. but the cutting re
duced It to 1IW iumts. Mrs. Pcnney's

A Tartjr Courtship.
Among the TclitiHan Tartars a curi
ous mode of "popping the question"
exists. The Tclmllan bachelor In
search of n wife, having filled a brand
new pipe with fragrant tobacco,
stealthily enters tbe dwelling of the
fair one up' mi whom he has bestowed
his ntTcctlnus, deposits the pipe upon a
conspicuous article of furniture and
retires on tiptoe to some convenient
biding place In the neighborhood, local
etiquette requiring that he should ex
ccute this strategic movement nppnr
ontly undetected by the damsel of his
choice or any other member of her
family. Presently he returns without
farther affectation of secrecy and looks
Into the apartment In a casual sort of
way. A single glance nt the pipe he
left behind li im enables him to learn
the fate of his proposal. If It has been
smoked be goes forth an accepted aud
exultant bridegroom; If not. the offer
of his hand and heart bas been so ir
revocably rejected as notio be even
worm a pipe ot rooacco.
Valut of Lughtr.
"Huvliis vnluly tried many and varl
ous remedies to restore to health a
business man whom I. know and who
had fallen into a morbid condition
owing to yei ts nf overwork, a famous
Baltimore physician at last persuaded
bis patient to tnke a course of funny
stories, one at each meal, with an ex
tra two nl dinner," said a Baltimore
man. "The patient, a solemn and
gloomy fellow, at first rebelled, but
Anally, falling In with the idea, adopt
ed the course recommended and was
In the end restored to health, the ef
fect of laughter being entirely to
change his mental and bodily condi
tion. I.augliier. In fact. Is one of the

Whan Children 8moked.
In the seventeenth century in Eng
land tbe .practice of juvenile smoking
was almost universal, at leaat accord
ing to Jorevln de Rochefort, a French
traveler of thnt period. In an account
published In 1071 he gives a descrip
tion of an evening he spent in Worces
ter. He was catechized by one of the
townamen as to tbe habits of the
French people. "While we were walk
ing about the town," he writes, "he
asked me if it wax the custom in
France as In England that when the
children went to school they carried
In their satchel with their hooka a pipe
of tobacco, which their mother took
care to fill early In the morning. It
serving them Instead of breakfast, and
that at the accustomed hour every one
laid aside his book to light his pipe,
tbe master smoking with' them and
teaching them how to hold their pipes
and draw In tbelr tobacco, thus accus
toming them to It from their youths,
believing It absolutely necessary for a
man's health."
Dobbin's Journey.
The family horse, who rejoiced in
tbe eminently proper equine name of
Dobbin, bad earned a rest by long
service and was accordingly sent
away to tbe country to spend bis de
clining years In the broad pastures of
a farmer friend of his owner. The
distance being somewhat excessive for
his rheumatic legs, be' was shipped to
his new home by rail.
Little Edna, the family four-year-
old, viewed the passing of Dobbin
with unfeigned sorrow. She sat for a
long time gazing disconsolately out
of the window. At last, after a deep
sigh, she turned with a more cheerful
expression and said:
'Did old' Dobbin go on the choo-
cboo cars, mamma?"
"Yes, dear," answered her mother.
A broad grin spread over tbe little
girl's face. "I was just thinking," she
said, "how funny he must feci sitting
up on the plush cushions." Woman'a

An Indignant Baggar.
Flashing n roll of bills in the face of
a haughty Individual who had refused
to give him alms and who bad added
further Insults to this Injury by heap
ing ridicule upon him, a very typical
beggar at Coyoaenn pulled off a stunt
that brought down Jeers upon tho un
charitable young man. This beggar
would have passed muster anywhere
for one of the finished type and could
safely have walked unarmed at mid
night through a wilderness Infested
with thieves without his poverty once
being questioned. There was not a
whole thread in the warp and woof of
his shirt that extended from seam to
scam, and only an ex-pert sartorial art
ist could have detected which open
ings were those originally made In the
garment for putting It on and off.
Just what portion of those rags was
solid and strong enough to retain tha
roll of bills Is a marvelous enigma.
