Tickets will be SI.5O for the course,

DIAMONDS.
The Difficulty of Identifying Them II r
moved From Their Settings.

The Difaculty of Identifying Them II Re-
moved From Their Settings.
Wanting to buy a few precious stones
to distribute among my friends before 1
get my life insured and 60 to the sea-
side, l interviewed a diamond merchant
down town, and while we were compar-
ing the. gems the conversation turned
upon the difficulty of identifying dia-
monds. Some people assert that they
a recognize a certain stone as accu-
rately as other people can recognize a
certain man. You take your diamonds
to be cleaned or reset, and you are sure
that you receive the anne stones again,
although others less valuable, or even
paste limitations, may have been substi-
tuted. But the experts are sure that
they can never be deceived unless the
stone has been recut.( Upon this point
the diamond merchant told me a good
story.
One day another firm in the same
business-call it Smith & Jones-sent
him a diamond which was very fine and
very cheap. 1t was set in a ring so that
he could not weigh it; but after exam
lining it carefully he concluded that its
cheapness must be caused by some de-
feet, and so he returned it to the owners.
The next week an agent called
with another fine cheap stone, which
my friend concluded to purchase. Be-
fore binding the bargain he thought he
would take it over to Smith & Jones
and see what they said about it. They
praised it enthusiastically. "Why, it's
a ~bargain!' cried Smith; and SO nv
friend bought the diamond.
"Aha!" said Jones, when they met
the next day. "you did buy our stone
after all. and you paid fifty dollars more
for it than we asked for it originally"
This was gall and wormwood. MY
friend hurried back to his Office and
looked at the diamond. Sure enough,
had sent to him. The clever firm had
angled for him through an agent and
caught him nicely. He matched the
diamond, had a pair of earrings made
and bided his time.
At last he gave the earrings and his
price to an agent and sent him out to
sell them. The agent came back and
said: Smith & Jones want one of
these stones. Will you split the pairP''
YES" said the diamond merchant,
'sell them this one" and he took one
of the stones out of its setting; 1.-THE
price is so much a carat. as the color is
very fine"
When the agent returned with the
check my friend sat down and wrote
Smith & Jones the following note:
'Quits! You have bought back YOU
own stone and given me ninety-seven
dollars profit. 1 prefer Pomery Sec"
It was q case of diamond cut diamond,
and it confirmed my doubts as to the
possibility of Identifying unset stones

Poor Mems Wives Love Them Best.

No woman will love a man better for
being renowned or prominent. Though
he be first among men. she will be
prouder, not fonder; as is often the
case, she will not even be proud. But
give her love, appreciation, kindness.
and there is no sacrifice she would not
make for his content and comfort. The
man who loves her we'll is her hero and
king. No less a hero to her though he
is not to any other; no less a king
though his only kingdom is heart and
home. 1t is a mans own fault if he is
unhappy with his wife in nine cases out
of ten. 1t is a very exceptional woman
who will not be all she can to an atten-
tive husband. and a very exceptional
one who Will not be very disagreeable if
she finds herself wilfu1ly neglected.

brains that they are there waiting for
payday. and the attendants tell me il
is very touching when several of them
become impatient and demand their
money on threats to leave. They often
claim their wives and children are
starving. and they must have their
money or they will die. It is utterly
impossible for one to imagine the har-
rowing thoughts that a short study of
an insane asylum and its patients will
awaken. 1t must be experienced to be
apprceiated.-Ida Nay, in Cincinnati

Lace Dresses.

Gauze and lace dresses have two
waists provided for them, one of which
is of lace or gauze, and the other of vel
vet. White and pale pink velvet cor
sages with white lace skirts are elegant
toilettes for watering-places. Shot vel
vet in such colors as brown with green
or red with blue is the novelty for dark
corsages worn with light canvas skirts.
The trimming on the skirt is rows Of
velvet ribbon sewed on the canvas
hounces before they are pleated. Plaid
and striped velvets and those dotted
over with small metallic balls like beads
of gold or lead are worn as jackets WITH
various light fabrics for skirts.-Har.

CONTEMPT OF "couRr."

Twas a case of attachment, the lawyer said,
And he'seemed not 10th to tell,
When asked by a friend o the matter sped,
That his suit was prospecting well.
Though young he argued his case with
power
As soon as the writ was returned,
And argued SO long that the midnight hour
Oft came ere the "court" adjourned.
But her father came down n the case he
closed
By booting the youth one night,
And the latter declared such an net opposed
To legal procedure quite;
Aad he said to the maid, as he rubbed his
spine,
He would bring an action OF tort,
And ask the Judge to infiict q fine
On-her pa for contempt of court"

POOR PAUL.
The Sea and the Grave Have Made Him
Friendless.

The Sea and the Grave Have Made Him
You may see just such a group any
day as you pass a building in course of
erection-six OF eight stolid-faced Po-
lacks sitting or lying on the grass. after
their frugal MONDAY lunch, sometimes
chatting together. sometimes glum and
taciturn, as if brooding over their per-
sonal wrongs.
Such a group was observed about a
rev building up Woodward avenue the
other day. There was seemingly no
companionship. Each man ate his lunch
by himself, as if he begrudged his COM
pany to his fellow workman, and one
would have said that the workmen were
strangers and men of suspicious natures.
By and by, as n stretched out on
the grass under a shade tree to doze his
remaining half hour away, a parcel fell
from his pocket. One of the others
carefully reached over and secured it,
and for the first time the group exhibited
companionship and genialty. Here was
an opportunity to play a joke. The
parcel was softly u~nwrapped, the men
gathered closer. and in a minute a pool,
ldttCu duu UdIGClOu blu-ISp pc Was cA-
posed to view. 1t was that of a boy
about four years old. The smile died
from every face in a moment. and one
of the men raised a finger and whis-
pered:
"Hush! 1t is the picture of his child!
His wife died on the voyage across the
sea, and he landed with this child in
his arms. Poor thing! 1t sickened and
died a year ago, and he is now alone"
"Put it back!" whispered another.
at would make him sorrowful to know
that we had handled it,"
The picture was tenderly wrapped up
and carefully inserted into the half-un-
, conscious mans pocket, and the man
who did it sadly shook his head and
said:
This is why he never laughs nor
whistles. Poor Pauln'-Detron Free

"THAT Miss Jones is anice-looking girl,

"Yes, and she'd be the belle of the town
if it wasn't for one thing"
"What's that?"
"She has catarrh so bad it is unpleasant
be near her. She has tried q dozen
things and nothing helps her. I am sorry,
for I like her, but that doesn't make it any
less disagreeable for one to be around her,"
Now il she had used DIR. Sage's Catarrh
