The amateur newsboy shows up in these
days OF "quick sales and small profits.
He appears dressed in shoes, stockings,
clean collar and faultless knickerbocker
suit. By comparison with the genuine
article he looks like diamond stud on
dirty shirt front, but he isn't much of
success. His voice isn't energetic and
mellifuous, and somehow a man never
feels like buying newspaper of a clean
hoy. It's an abnormal condition of affairs. =

Diamonds, it seems, are rapidly going up
in price. The discovery OF an inferior ar.
ticle in South Africa fer while cheapened
these precious stones. But the great null
titude OF ''new rich" has created large
demand for diamonds 1t is strange that
more robberies are not committed at water
ing places, where women are particularly
fond of exhibiting their costly gems.
A diamond broker says that women are
remiss in not cleansing their diamonds and
other precious stones. Soltaires are often
lost because the dirt works in and loosens
the clasp of the gold upon the gem.
A novel suit was brought in Western
town against circus proprietor by man
who found that the attractions of the
show were by no means equal to the
promises of the gorgeously. illuminated
posters He demanded his money back,
and, being refused, sued for damages.
The case is as yet undecided, but if the
principle be once established that show
man is to be held strictly to the letter of
his promises, some of our most pretentious
theaters will be apt to suffer sadly.

FEAR OF DIsEAsE.-While the plague |
was raging in Buenos Ayres, the grave dig |
gers bore charmed lives. OF the three |
hundred men SO employed, not one died of |
the disease. It has often been noticed that |
during pestilential diseases, physicians, |
undertakers, nurses and grave. .diggers,
whose business compels constant liability |
to infection, have usually escaped in far
greater ratio than their numbers would |
warrant. The "charm of this immunity |
from the prevailing scourge is very simple. |
They are not scared. They are positive to |
the disease, and repel its attacks. Fear is
a great ally of death. Whoever is afraid |
of disease is in a negative condition. and |
really invites its approach. And thus it is
the world over The brave die but once,
while towards die many times.
