Selling Diamonds on the Street.

Personally know of five or six men
diamonds on the streets of Chicago, :"
said good authority on such matters
when / say 'oR the street, I mean that
they ply their avocation without having
any store or Office These men 90 about
among fast young men who love to
possess the gems, and to hotels, where,
getting acquainted with gentlemen of
means, they are enabled to sell the
stones.
"Are the gems of good quality, as a
rule?"
"Yes. In fact, believe these street
merchants will sell fine diamond for
less money than regular jewcler."
''How can that bel"
"Well, the point is this-and in tell
ing you about it give You the reason
for not mentioning my name-most of
the diamonds sold by these men are
smuggled goods They are brought to
this country free of duty. And, again,
these street sellers having no rent to pay
are enabled to sell closer"
''Do they carry large stocks?"
Il have seen Diamond Louis with q
hatful of the stones. l know of three
of them that have boxful each in the
vaults of the Safe Deposit company.
The stock in trade of each of them will
easily schedule $4,000
"Then there is another class of the
same dealers in gems. They are friends
of the more prominent pawnbrokers. The
latter give them one or two diamonds to
sell. For example, the pawnbroker
gives his friend diamond worth 5000.
The friend goes out, and, by specious
talk, sells it for $3.50. 1t may take him
a week 10 make the sale, but the profit is
good, as you can easily see.
Not many months ago q diamond
dealer of the class spoken of came to the
city, putting up at the Palmer house.
He soon became known as the Diamond
Mystery" He registered and introduced
himself as Lieutenant Somerville, [. S.
n. He did not belong to the navy at all,
but his glib tongue enabled him to work
his game for some time, 1t was his Gus
tom to carry from ten to twenty elegant
diamonds loose in his pockets, and there
is no doubt he did thriving trade. The
pseudo naval lieutenant disappeared as
quickly and silently as he came, and it is
understood that he did an immense busi-
ness in his line. ."-Chicago Ne,os.

Omen YOur Window.

American women do not seem to under
stand that they add very much to their
natural nervousness by living in dark
ened rooms. Houses from which the sun
is excluded are not wholesome. There
is always, damp, depressing condition
in them that makes itself evident at once
to sensitive temperament The minds
and bodies of all who live in such houses
are affected by it. Both health and spirits
are depressed. Their occupants have not
only the depressing effect of the lack of
light and seem to contend against it. but
the reaction consequent upon living in
unwholesome conditions. All the rooms
in the house should have both light ana
sunshine freely admitted at all times
whether they are in daily use or not.
They are thus kept sweet, and are in
good condition when they are wanted.
Many a woman and child has been sacri-
feed to save the carpets and keep out the
flies. Many fit of illness has resulted
from the same cause Many a disap-
pointed, cherries life can be traced back
to sunless rooms as Il beginning. Multi
tudes of women and children are only
half living to-day because only half fed
Sunshine and light and air are as much
food for the body and soul as the fruits
and grains and vegetables that we take
into our stomachs; and we cannot get a
surfeit of them as of food The more VT
have the better. Open your windows
wide, then, my sisters. and let the sun,
that always carries health in its rays, have
free access to every part of your homes
Screens will keep out the flies, and if YOU
have occasion to temper the heat of the
sun, use white curtain that can be rolled
up or down at will.

Philippine NOOing.

In one of the Philippine Islands it is
customary, when a young fellow asks the
old folks for their daughter, to send her
into the woods at sunrise, and If the
lover finds her before sunset she is his,
If not, he forfeits all claim. The girl IS
given one hour the start. This gives
her fair chance, and she can use her
own judgment about hiding after she
sats in the woods.--Detroit Free Press.

Composition Of the Banana.

The large extent to which the banana
is consumed in this country will make
the following statement showing the
composition of the fruit one of peculiar
interest. The analyses were made by
Riccaiardi and his studies were applied
to the material worked upon, both in the
green and the mature state, and the
figures he secured show that in point of
nutritive value this very delightful fruit
occupies high rank. The figures secured
are as follows:

Correct Speech.

Correct speech is such an indisputable
mark Of a lady or gentleman that 1t can
not be too often repeated that the true
standard Of pronunciation is one in which
all marks Of particular place Of birth
and residence are lost, and in which
nothing appears to indicate any habits Of
intercourse other than with the well-bred
and well-informed wherever they may be
found. In the matter Of accent, yocabU-
larry and pronunciation, the aim ought
to be to avoid all that Is local, affected OF
vulgar. Let no transgressors imagine
they can escape with imPunity. Their
speech will betray them. and even well
educated children will be merry and sa-
tiricaI behind their backs.

YELLOWSTONE LAKE TWILIGHT.
A broad majestic sheet of water,
hemmed in by noble mountains; sky
filled with cumulous clouds, dark with
storm, waters of the lake in confusion
where the strong winds rush down from
the mountain passes upon it-turning
its pale waves to the sky as if blanched
with fear. One small lock with break
water of glistening pebbles, and pro-
tected by circling hill and line of pines,
remains calm, mirroring in its bosom
the image of its protectors. To the south,
Mount Sheridan, lifting its sharp crests
and wooded TANKS against the fading
light: across the lake numerous islands
pine-covered; backed by all the wan
snow-covered ridges whence the waters
are drawn from he Utmost hills. To
the northeast, nameless cliffs, castle
shaped, and shaggy pine woods black
with their own shadows and that of the
coming night; nearer, pine trees, old
and shattered trunk and branches
clothed with moss; between their por-
tails the lake waters gliding away in the
river; one white wild bird gliding away
with them. Foreground, a sloping
meadow, between lake margin and
forest edge. White tent on greensward
with restless burning ruby of fame,
three figures telling as black silhouettes
against it.
THE FIRST NOW-4YELLoWSToNE LAKE.
All form blotted.out of sky and dis
lance by softly falling snow. The lake,
perfectly calm, presents a CLASSY face as
gray sky as though 1t stretched out for
ever. Nearer, the long promontories
show ghost-like, the pines reaching out
their white arms; water fowl rising in
circles and passing in long lines. to the
south, blind old Holder warming them to
depart. Under the spreading branches
of each snow-laden pine is circle of
green in which the campaniums droop
their heads and the marguerite5 look
out with blue, vile open eyes of
wonder.

HONFHARD ROvNp.
S0TT0 V0CE.

IL Our columns during the past week,
it was noticed that one of our enter
prising gardeners. was engaged in
Pleasant Valley in getting out for ship
ment to this city car load OF native
evergreen to be used in ornane sting
lawns and gardens, -andthat very little
difficulty was experienced in rearing
them, II once carefully started. We see
no good reason why enterprise should
not go much farther than this, as there
is in our mountains great variety of
other kinds OF plants that are equally as
beautiful as the costly ones brought
from the east and elsewhere, and in
many cases much more beautiful than
they, if We could but overcome our I'M
reasonable prejudices against home pro-
auctions. Perhaps the best shade tree
along our sidewalks, Is native, the
box-elder; besides this, there are many
beautiful birches, alders, willows,
naples, sumachS, larhs, and many
others that are known only by their
scientific names, that might be used as
ornamental shrubbery in our lawns and
gardens, and also an endless variety of
flowers which under proper care would
undoubtedly develop many new and
surprisingly beautiful forms.

AS the City IS now employing force
of men on North Temple street, in
clearing away the rocks and smoothing
down the rough places, and making the
street paSsable in general, we will ven
ture 0-offer another suggestion in the
way of improving and identifying that
thoroughfare. Some have proposed the
building of fence on both sides OF the
aqueduct as protection against acct
dent, but we could not imagine any
thing more unsightly than that. We
would favor the planting OF trees on
both sides, in close proximity, SO as TO
afford, III the course of time, ample
protection, and also a most agreeable
Shade in the hot summer months, max
ing magnificent boulevard of this
street, thus subscribing the purposes of
utility and ornament. If this can not
be done now, at least the trees that
spring up there naturally need not be
cut down so ruthlessly, except those
that may be in the way, or such rs may
impede the course OF the high waters in
the spring season.

Spencer Ciawson for refusing to per-
ire himself. = Mr.. Game personally
went to the Tribune Office on Friday.
III saw there ?. II. Lannan. the re-.
porter and one other individual. He
stated to all three that their statement
was entirely lncorrect-he put it nm
necessarily very mildly - and asked
them to publish denial of it from him
on Saturday. They took his denial.
asked him to signit, and promised its
publication. It is needless to say that
not trace of the article, nor the
whisper of reference to it, was found
in their Saturdays issue.
If there is any one particular more
than another in which the Tribune
makes an ass OF itself, it is in its at
temptS atgiving opinions on theatrlcaIs.
Thursdays ass OF itself was made by
the sheet n its editorial on Miss Rose
Eytinge's company, wherein the writer
AYERS that there is no member of the
support who is not star. Now, kindly
as we feel towards Miss Rose Evtin4e
and her husband, we are not DISPOSED
to swallow any assertion of that kind.
We are very confident that Miss Ev-
tinge herself will hardly claim for her
company what the driveller of the Tri-
5Hne does. We are very certain that no
of Miss Eytiuge' scompany is a
star. Mr.. Vinson is the best actor in
The support, but he falls somewhat
short of the degree of lustre required to
make star. Mr.. Malone is probably
next best, but he hasn't the approach to
4 twinkle. Mr.. Wilkins may be star,
1ut he is at present oyershadowed by
very thick cloud. Mr.. Logan Paul may
answer the Tribane's notion of a star.
1qt he sheds no light over the pathway
IF any one else that we are aware of.
Some one should stand over the par
ocular American gentleman who tries
lis hand at theatricals.
