A DIAMOND MARKET.
Exi'crte in Paris Who Know all
the Tralous Stones.
NO TKACISH OF III VINIJ OK HEI.MKCI
Mlllluat of IMIar HprMnlvd la One

Qaaer flaea.
it waa the Ahlie Hany who tubjected
diamonds to the roughest treatment. He
ed to take a hammer and amash them.
IU did lh aanie with emeralds, rubles
and sapphire, just aa If they were worth
nothing, By this heroic treatment the
venerable abbe discovered the the
broken particles of all precious shm
hare particular forma which eatablUh
their gBiiiilni-uuM Iwyond all donht. Be
fore bi thus It waa almoat Impxawlblato
tell a diamond from a brilliant or a piece
of rock cryttal.
But now nobody breaks precious stones.
Any dealer can take, with an indifferent
air, the diamond that ta presented to him
for eiamtnation, and aay without the
biaat hesitation, "That weighs so much;
It la a little follow t it ia worth sc much.''
And be la never deceived. At the pres
ent time everybody la somewhat of a
dealer, and the eonaqtiance is that
everybody can diatiitgnUti a rnc! dia
mond among a thouaaud bogus stones.
On the second floor of a cafe in the
Boulevard Montmartra the market or
bourse of nreciona etonea la held, a I way
in broad daylight, Very few atrangcra
to the trade can penetrate this sanc
tuary, not because the access to It ia
difficult, for the door ia always wide
open, but bncauiie the portfolios close
and the stars dtapear the moment au
unknown face apeara at the threshold.
luitead of animated traders the
atranger only ftmla few dull eyed Jews,
eareleatly playing a game of beslqiie.
Ah, but there la a Turk there, too) the
Tnrk that look ao much like Coudere,
of the Opera t'oinlipie, except Uiat be t
yellow and wears very loose trour,
but these trouavrs are full of diamond.
Don't believe for a moment that these
good Jews, the uierchauta in precious
stout, are afraid of robtiera. That la
the smallest thing that bothers them.
What they dread ta to let the profane,
and especially the email Jowelea, know
the real value of their good.
As soon as the stranger dpart the
anus stretch out and the portfolio re
appvar. The greater nnmWr of theee
portfolio are made of tin and are closed
with a lock and key. In a moment the
tablm are covered a-itli little bnuUi of
white paper fonml like thtise In which
the dmgginte put rhubarb or sulphate
of magnesia. These packagva are open
ed, and in Ira time than it take to tell
it all the tablt. Including the billiard
table, are covered with precious stones
that might startle the king of Persia.
A strange HH'lacle is presented by those
sordid old men quMly taking from thiir
pockets three or four million' worth.
Each one of prhapa 10,000 packagM
contain so iiiauy brilliants. Aftnr they
are dUiiueml of the rare stones are Intro
duced, Here there are sapphires as big
as ntita, There liw black diamond
almost as large aa the twelve pearls that
surround It. Here again ia a necklace
Diade of fifteen emeralds that would
make as many snnffboxMyertatuly not
big enongh for M. llyaotutha, of the
Palais Royal, but too big beyond a doubt
for the nose of Mile. D.
"Here Is a rare bargain," shouts one
of the merchants, "one of the finest
piece of ancttnit jewelry known) Itia
a necklace that bohmgod to Madame la
Prlucewie de Ouemenee. Mounting,
diamonds and all are ancient. Prince
Prolnetollofr refused 73.000 francs for it
twenty years ago."
The necklace ia paasod from hand to
band. The merchants gase at it with
attention. Tbe eyeglaMws ccte into
play. Inilwixion and doubt are painted
upon some faces. At (net the necklace
is passed to Michel. He Is ilia great
judge. He takes the thing, weighs it In
his hand, looks at It with an lndiffreut
air aud save, "Tbe two brilliants are
ancient, They come with their mount
ing from the Comitesa de Prejeau. The
two others, still finer, once formed part
of a necklace which waa stolen In Venice
in 1804 from Mine. Morosiui. This neck
lace belonged later on to Lady Temple,
whose busliand purchased It at Cnuduar
of Inane Lieven. Lady Temple gave it
to her daughter, who aold it three days
af tei her marriage. As for the sapphire
in the center, that conies from the salo
of Mile. Schneider. The rest Is new and
oomea direct from Hamburg. But,
after all, It la well preserved, and 75,000
franc doe not seem to be too much for
it."
As extraordinary aa it may appear
thore are now living five or six indi
viduals who know all the costly dia
monds and all the rich jewels in the
world, and they are able to recognize
them after a lapse of thirty years, even
when they had first only seen them a
moment, as certainly as a tailor would
recognize at thirty paces the customer
that forgot to pay him.
When a robbery ia committed In the
house of a well known jeweler, a thing
which often happens in Paris, London,
Vienna and St. Petersburg, if there hi
among the objects stolen a stone of more
than ordinary value it ia sure to be fovud
aguiu, although it may take many years
to bring it back to its owner. Figaro.

Many simple experiments show that
the surface of water posamisei a property
which cause It to resist the passage of
bodies either from above or below, This
l true not only of soapy water, bnt of
the clearest and purest water as well. A
sheet of fine ganse tends to float, because
Its weight being widely distributed each
of the numerous separate wires it re
sisted by the surface film so that the
water cannot readily pass through the
meshea.
Insects and plants utilise this fact In
many interesting ways. Bome water
plants, whose leavea float on the water,
hare a very simple contrivance to keep
the upper surfaces of the leaves dry.
Thia consists of a great number of mi
nute balrs covering the tops of the
Iftavea. Water cannot penetrate among
these hairs even when the leaves are
forced down beneath the surface.
The little rafts of eggs that gnats set
afloat on the water are kept from link
ing aud from being upeet through tills
same principle. The tiny eggs have
their points all upward, and they are
glued together so closely that, while
there ia open space all around the point
of each egg, yet the width of these
apace is so slight that water cannot
readily pass through. You may again
aud again upset such an egg raft, bnt it
will right Itself every time and the
upper surface will remain dry. Youth's

On Mat Bo Careful.
One must be careful about using the
English language in this day of literal
meaning, when the veriest neophyte of
a society writer dare not use the phrases,
"The bride entered the church on the
arm of her father," or "His eyes fol
lowed her around the room," because
some humorist has illustrated them real
istically. This was recalled to my mind yester
day when I entered a Woodward avenne
book store, where a grave gentleman pre
sides, and asked him if he had a "pretty
child's book."
"Blond or brnnetteJ" he inquired.
"Oh-h!" I stammered. "Why do you
ask thatr
"I suppose you want the book to har
monise, or yon would not have told mi
the child was pretty."
I aaw wherein 1 had erred, but had
my revenge, for the first thing I read hi
the book he handed me was this phrase,
"Ellen burst into tears."
"Here," I said, "I don't want my her
oine in pieces please give me a whole
one," and I oalled his attention to. the
remarkable physiological fact Detroit

A W.althy Squatt.r.
James Tyson, the richest squatter in
Australia, was originally a coachman.
He saved a little money and Invested
in stock, which turning out profitably
left him the possessor of 500. With
this mm, not a large one for the pur
pose, he began grating, and as he
worked hard and scarcely spent any
thing in a few years he oonnted his
wealth by many figures. He started on
fifteen shillings a week, and today he is
worth over 3,000,000 and owns more
sheep and cattle than any other two
squatters in the world. London Tit
Bits. Typographical Error. j
American authors, no less than Eng
lish, sometimes Buffer for the sins of
the printer. A line of Mr. Aldrlch's,
which originally read, "A potent medi
cine for gods and men," was misprinted
"A patent medicine," etc. And Mr.
Aldrich's equanimity was upset on an
other occasion because in a serious mood
he wrote in one of his poems, "Now the
old wounds break out afresh," and was
horrified to read that he had said "Now
the old woman breaks out afresh."

Ho stronger evidence of the safety of
electric lighting installations oan b
afforded than the fact that a great many
xploaives factories are now being lit by
electricity. It Is obvious that in a building
where the preparation of Inflammable
or highly xploafr ittbstavnces Is eajraied
on very special 6sre should be takes ta
order to avoid even tbe emafleal risk,
and powder mannfactarwi now find
that the electrie light ados a consider.
able percentage over gas to the chance
f aafe operation. While electricity in
creases the safety of this branch of in
dustry tn one way it laseetu it ia aa
etber. There 1 s great deal of free sleo
tricity thrown off in various stages of
manufacture, and tbe disposition of this,
so far aa it. ess be remeved out ef harm
way, ia a serious question.
The charge of a powder cake press
with ebonite plates may practically b
considered as an electric pile, and a
large amount of friction or electric in
fluence from outside may cause a suffi
cient electric chsrge to give off sparks.
Several undisputed cases of this kind
have been' known. Another source of
danger from friction occurs daring the
glaaing, rounding and sieving- of gun
powder. The powfler is subjected to a
constant rubbing of Us particles against
each other and during the glaring es
pecially there is danger of electricity ac
cumulating. Therefore prectattous should be taken
m order to convey away any charge that
may aoeumulate in the glaunng barrels.

Examining into tbe matter of blun
ders, particularly in tracing the course
of the "mistakes, welt' meant," is our
own lives, when we look back upon
them with thewooler understanding of
later years we are constrained to con
fess that the "tots take" brast have been
Intended to be there, as well aa the cor
rect action, because the plan of our de
velopment has included both. ' Continu
ing to study clearly and deeply we must
acknowledge that the mistake and er
rors nay, the very sins when forsaken
and forgiven; have helped ' (he soul up
ward;' that an hare worked together te
accomplish th result sought that they
must have been put there and meant so
to be, and so that our "blunders" were
not blunders at all,' but although we
sowed and watered often' amiss there
was always some increase given which
achieved th good we aimed at, but
failed to reach.
And deepest of all we see that the
divine love, which aaw the end from the
beginning, bore with a tender Compas
sion to look upon our1 straggles, our
weeping,' our disheartened Sighs. Ah,
Infinitely greater it is, but like to the
love we bear onr own children, whioh Is
so deep and true that we endure to treat
them harshly, and with seeming cruelty
behold their tears, knowing surely that
one day they will comprehend all the
kindness. Harper's Baiar.
The Loealltle of the Bird.
All our permanent residents among
the birds, both large and small, are com
paratively limited in their ranges. Th
orow ia nearly as local aa the wood
ohuck. He goes farther from home in
quest of food, but his territory is well
defined, both winter aud summer. His
place of roosting remains the same year
after year. Once, while spending a few
days at a mountain lake nearly sur
rounded by deep wooda,' my attention
was attracted each night, just at sun
down, by an osprey that always came
from the same direction, dipped into th
lake as he passed over it for a sip of its
pure water and disappeared in the woods
beyond. '
The routine of his life was probably
as marked as that of any of ours. He
fished the water of the Delaware all
day, probably never going beyond a cer
tain limit, and returned each night at
sundown, as punctual' as a day laborer,
to his retreat in the forest The alp of
water, too, from the lake he never failed
to take.
All the facts We' possess in regard to
the habits of the song birds in this re
spect point to the conclusion that the.
same individuals return to the same lo
calities year after year" to nest and to
rear their young. John Burroughs in

A Live 8aake la a Woman' Ann.
There lives, or did quite recently, near
Columbia, & C, a Woman afflicted In a
manner that makes one's flesh creep to
think of it For mora than the third of
a century she has carried a live snake
under the skin of one or Her arms. How
the reptile first found lodgment in its
queer situation ia as much of a pusil to
the eld lady as it is to the hundreds who
have visited her for the purpose of view-,
ingthe long Welt where the unwelcome
creature lies encysted.
When th lady first noticed th bow
shaped ridge ori her arm it was of about
the diameter of a pinj and leas than two
inches in length..; During- the many
years that it has safely nestled in her
flesh it has grown from a metre thread to
a snake a" foot' long" and) as large as a
lead pencil, The eyes of the creature
are plainly visible through the akin, and
the scales oan be felt by rubomg the
linger along th welt formed by its body.
Physicians pronounce it a most re
markable freak, and have endeavored,
without success, to prevail Upon the o)d
lady to have it rCmoved.-Pfailadelphia
