Big Diamonds and Poor Lrlck.

A leading London jeweler, i'm talking
with PaH MaH Gazette reporter, re-
marked "A big diamond always brings
bad luck. l would not hold one, except
in the way of trade, on any terms. If a
man comes to me with diamond worth
fl00.000-as matter of fact there are
few diamonds of that value--I should
proceed in this manner. | should look
at the stone, weigh it, test it,, and hay
ing satisfied myself of its value. should
hand it to the vendcr and ask him to
seal it up. Why? So that he might
not show it to any one else ! should
then ask him to call in As, hours for
reply, and call some friends together,
and should say: Here is a diamond
in the market worth fl00,000; what will
you take? and we should form syndi-
cate, buy the stone, and, holding it for
Il time, ultimately cut it and sell it in
small portions.

Window Grown Iyics.

When standing ivics in the window,
arrange the vines gracefully, TO the
undersash, fastening them by light
string wherever necessary, or to cur
tains by bits of green worstcd. They
make II fascinating embroidery to white
lace curtains There is no moro delight
full or suitable decoration for II hall
than that made with ivy. Brackets up
on which to stand the pots can be fast
cned to the wall on each side The
vines may be trained all over. An or
namental, portable screen of ivy is n
lovely object to arrange this month. A
box, very like window box, can be
made varying in length from three to
six foet, and one to two feet wide,
mounted on casters. A number of
laths of wood, smoothly planned, should
be nailed crosswisc and fastened up
right ut the back of the box. The best
height is from four TO four and half
feet. Paint the entire box and lattice
work green. Fill the box with mould
and set in the ivy plants, which, when
once started, will creep all over the
trellis work. 1t increases the beauty of
the piece to plant the front of the box
with lily of the valley, or primulas. Ii
desired, other climbers, such rs clematis
or morning glory, woodbine or passion
vine, may be grown with the ivy, or in
stead of it. Nothing so embellishes a
room us screen of this kind placed in
the window or across the corner. In n
corner pocket on the wall is very
graceful position to place an ivy pot, al
lowing the vines to tumble out with
their luxuriant profusion. n.

A Burmese Fairy Story.

Fairy tales are popular among them,
and there is one which comes from over
the border in Siam, which was told us
by Siamese. The eXaggerations all
hang together artistlcally and are in
the same key, us it were: There was
once king who heard that there was
an enormous giant in II far country,
and he declared that he should never
rest till he got hair of the giants head.
So he sent his fleet, and hey sailed and
they sailed and they sailed for weeks
and weeks and weeks, and ut last one
day in the afternoon it became sudden
ly dark, and they stuck fast, and could
oct neither forward nor backward
Now, the fact was that they had got IN
side Il hole in II sort of carrot, the small
est vegetable in the giants kingdom.
And behold the next morning the
giants children went out 10 fish, and
they picked up two or three elephants
on their way for bait. but they were
only able TO catch II few of the very
smallest fishes in the country-'some-
thing equivalent to your minnows, "
said the narrator "AnG rs they were
going back they saw the carrot growing
ny InC WdlCl tNSo, ''h' p''loN ~ VI w
put it into the curry, and inside it was
the whole fleet. After they got home
the giant threw the fish and the carrot
into the pot in order to boil them, when
the fleet rose out of the root to the top
of the water with all the men in il.
What are those curious inscctsp said
the giant. peering down into the pot. :"
Then came good deal more, which the
narrator had forgotten. The men
tried to shout to the giant and tell him
what il was they wanted. but their
voices were too weak, and he could not
hear a word they said. At length he
lifted them up to his car in his hand.
and whole boats crew marched in ut
the hole and went ever such long way
up inside, and then they all shouted to-
gcthcr and told him they had come
from their king to ask him for a hair of
his head. So ut last he was able to hear
what even then seemed TO him only Il
whisper. Unlike his kind, the giant
was apparently as good-natured as he
was big-he gave them the hair, lifted
them back to sea, where the hair, when
put on board the fleet, nearly sank it,
after which he pulled out his cheeks
and gave tremendous blow which car
ried the fleet straight home, hundreds
of miles, ut one got Good Words.
