Hiring Out Diamonds.

That was an expensive set of Jew
elry," remarked reporter to the pro-
prietor of q large Washington Street
store, alluding to set of diamonds a
young lady had just taken away with her.
''It is the most expensive set we have
in the store,n was the reply, "but she
has only hired them"
''Is chat common thing in Boston?''
asked the newspaper man.
'tMost certainly. Many of my best
customers hire set of iewelry for an
evening, and for comparatively small
price excite the envy and jealousy of
their friends. Iwonder you have never
heard of it before. We take our cost
liest gems and reset them to please our
customers and then rent them. OF
people whom we know we never re-
quire any security, but a stranger
would of course have to deposit the
full value of the gems. There are two
of our finest sets at Swampscott now,
where / understand they have been
much praised, and their temporary
owners congratulated.
"a funny thing happened in connec-
ton with this branch Of our business.
There was to be large German, and a
young lady, well-known in this city
came to make arrangements about a
set Of diamonds. Twas not in the store
at the time and knew nothing of the
matter, so when / came in I let the
same set to another young belle. In
the afternoon No. / came in and asked
Significantly if her diamonds had been
cleaned. While she was talking No. 2
put the same question to me- The situ-
alton was very awkward, but l ex-
planned the matter, and all was finally
settled in favor of No. /, the young
ladies pledging each other and me to
eternal secrecy.
".I wouldn't have it get out for the
world, you know, explained No. /.
'@Another branch of our business is to
rent silver services. These are very
well paid for Most of the designs are
antique, and some Of them have figured
in many Boston homes as highly
treasured heirlooms. At weddings we
frequently furnish large collections of
bric-a-brac and other articles to swell
the number of gifts and make fine
display. We rarely get much for this,
as the jewelers. name is frequently
published when there is anything par
ticularly beautiful given as a present,
and the advertising compensates us. -

Hi Jolly.

In 1856. when Pierce was President
and JEFF Davis Secretary of War,
through the Gadsden purchase the
United States became possessed of what
is now Arizona, embracing large desert
tracts. AS an experiment the Govern
ment concluded to purchase camels to
be used as pack animals in traversing
these vast wastes, and accordingly
David D. Porter, afterward Commo-
dore, was commissioned to go abroad
and make the purchase. At Smyrna,
in Asia Minor, the Commodore met Hi
Jolly, and through him bought seventy
six camels, and also engaged the serV-
ices of Hi jolly, who was then quite
young man. BY vessel the came1s
were shipped direct to 1ndianola, Tex,
where they were landed the same year,
thence across Texas to Albuquerque,
where the animals arrived in fine con-
dition, under charge of Hi Jolly.
Here an expedition was being fitted out
under command of Lieutenant Ned
Beale, and the camels were first brought
into active service. The object
i've point was Fort TETON, Cal, and the
route ran along the thirty-fifth parallel.
I he expedition consisted of fortv-four
citizens, with an escort of twenty sol
diers, and the camels performed the
packing, in some instances carrying as
much as one hundred gallons of water
to the animal, and going without a
drop themselves for nine davs at time.
They arrived safely at TETON, then
made the return trip to Albuquerque,
then back to TETON, all the time being
under the charge of Hi Jolly. firing
of the. eamels, the Government con-
demned them, and they were sold at
Benecia to two Frenchmen, who took
them to Reese River, where they were
used in packing salt to Virginia City.
AfterWard the animals were brought
back to Arizona, and for some time
were engaged in packing ore from the
Silver King to Yuma; but through some
cause or other the Frenchmen became
disguised, there being no market for
camels Just then, and turned the camels
loose upon the desert near Maricopa
Wells, and to-day they and their de-
scendants are roaming through the Gila
Valley, increasing and multiplying and
getting fat upon the succulent cacti and
greasewood with which that country
abounds. Last summer two carloads
were captured by Maricopa Indians and
sent east, where the market is said to
be good for camels.
HiJolly settled down at Fort TETON,
and remained there until during the
war, when he joined the California
column and with it returned to Arizona,
where he has resided ever since. Here
he has principally been in the employ
of the Government as interpreter,
packer and scout, his last service being
under Captain Overton. Tombstone
Epttaph.

The United States Richer Than Great
Britain.

Statisticians have pronounced the
United States to be not only potential
ly, but actually richer than the United
Kingdom. Counting the houses, furni-
ture, manufactures, railways, shipping,
bullion, lands, cattle, crops, invest
ments and roads, it is estimated that
there is grand total in the United
States of $40, no, ,000,0 900. Great Brit
ain is credited with something less than
$40, 900, 900, 900, or nearly 0,0o0, ,000,-
600 less than the United States. The
wealth per inhabitant in Great Britain
is estimated at 81, 100, and in the United
States at 1895. With regard 30 the re-
muneration of labor, assuming the pro-
duce of labor to be 100, in Great Brit
ain Sc parts go to the labore1, 81 to

Small Grain For Pics.


Western farmers have become so ac-
customed to making pork from corn
that they scarcely know what to do
when corn crop fails. Many farmers
hesitate to settle north of the line where
large crops of corn are raised, because
they think they can not produce pork
to advantage. Now no one will deny
that corn is a most excellent food for
fattening hogs, and when it can be
cheaply produced it is generally the
most economical article that can be en-
ployed for that purpose. 1t is true,
however, that pork is economically pro-
duced in places where corn can not be
ripened and that farmers there find as
much profit in raising beef and mutton.
In Great Britain barley is chiefly used
for fattening hogs. In Canada all the
small grains except wheat, peas, and
roots largely take the place of corn. In
the New England states little corn is
used in connection with potatoes, APP
pies, pumpkins, and mill-feed. A va
riety of the food given to hogs appears
to promote health and to produce meat
of fine flavor. As prices range this sea-
son it is likely that oats will prove to be
u cueaPei loou loi HoSS III many paftS
of the west where but little corn is rails
ed. Experiments tried by several seem
to show that two bushels of oats are
worth as much as one bushel of corn
for making pork. In many parts of the
country it is easier to raise two bushels
of oats than one bushels of corn. The
cost of thrashing the oats is less than
that OF husking the corn. To produce
the best result the oats should be ground
before they are fed. They will be readi-
ly eaten and digested, however, if they
are soaked in milk or water. Barley
which has been diseolored by exposure
is an excellent food for pigs. The like
is true of rye and peas

A RAILROAD conductor soon becomes
al excellent judge of character. 10.
Langiois can pick out dead beat with
an accuracy that is astonishing and it is
amusing to hear him relate some of the
tricks resorted to by those anxious to
travel without cost. Lately large, well
developed girl presumed on Joe's gallan-
try and rather diminutive stature to ride
free. 1t was rather an embarrassing
position for the conductor. The girl
looked as if she could knock him ont of
time if it came to question of muscle
and wore an expression beside which
that of Mrs. Caudle would be amiable.
But Joe was persuasive and the result
showed him possessed of no inconsider-
able amount of moral courage as he
collected that fare.

A SINGULAR outrage was perpetrated
by tramp ON Tuesday evening of this
week, at the house of Mr.. Clausen near
Conley's gravel road. The family had
left to call upon some neighbors, leaving
the house in charge of young girl abont
Is years of age. In the course of the
evening man entered disguised IN q
long, false beard, and wearing woaan's
skirts. He demanded what money there
was in the house. The girl protested
there was none, but by his direction
proceeded to search and found % cents,
which she passed over to her unwelcome
visitor. Not satisfied with this he pro-
ceeded to ransack the house himself but
found no money. He then seized the
girl and with shears deprived her OF
iuxuriant growth of hair. Having done
this he offered her no further molestation
but left. Nothing is known of the vii
lain and nothing has been done to effect
his capture.

ONE of the best conducted and most
enjoyable dances of the past year is said
to have been at Turner Hall on Sunday
night. Everybody was possessed of the
spirit of enjoyment and good feeling.
Uncle Wood surprised every one by the
ease and grace with which he went
through the mazes of the waltz although
it must have been new experience to
him. The Mayor laid aside his dignity
and encouraged Wood by leading in
outburst of applause. Jake Rosmer
made speeches and Salak even consented
to sing a solo. Bach made motions to
proceed with the regular order of
business and Koehler stood always
ready to be his second. Piening wasn't
there but the boys told him of all the
fun he lost and he remarked that it was
just the luck of an uncompromising
democrat to be sleeping when there is
fun or anything good on the wing.
