NO JEKYL-HYDE LIFE.

Mythologists tell us that Minerva
threw away her flute when she
found it puffed up her cheeks; but
if in this age we cast away the flute
il is only to take up some more
boisterous instrument. The pen
men as aclass, however, are willing
to be unlike Minerva in the matter
of "cheek," if any initiation of this
feature will give greater volume to
the notes of their trumpets. But
remember, young men, there is a
greater distinction between mere
hollow trumpeting and self adver-
tising-that is proclaiming to the
world what you really can do. The
sum of the whole matter is, self
confidence makes ability available;
and even more, it frequently leads
to the possession of the qualities
only at first assumed. a man of
meager powers held up and pushed
forward by this principle Will often
perform giants labors, while with
out it the noblest intellect will ex-
peid itself in the trivial work Of a
dwarf, and be eclipsed by inferior
talent, endowed with little merit
beyond that of mere assurance.
You cannot expect the world to
cIamor for your services while you
sit dreaming with your arms fold
ed in secluded corners. If you feel
yourself qualified to fill the position
you would like, strike out and as
sert yourself. The world is to- busy
to dig for diamonds in the rough,
when so many polished ones are to
be found on every hand. Put your
self forward if you would be known.
Blow some kind of a horn, or at
least a penny whistle, to draw the
publlc's eye upon yon; but be sure
you are what you pretend to be be-
fore you turn on the wind.

4 RAscALLY JEWEL BROKER's TRICK.

A diamond jewcller in The jewellers Weekly.
There was a trick played in Paris time ago
which is fair illustration of tho sharp practices 10
which disrepui able dealers Will at times resort \
diamond broker brought to an American importer,
who was purchasing stones I'm the French capital, "A
package Of diamonds. which he took from large, red
poe he I'm his breast pocket. He left the stones
for examination and came back In the course OF four
five hours The quality of the goods was entirely
satisfactory TO the purchaser and the terms OF sale
we're discussed.
The broker wanted higher price than the dealer
willing to give. and they hagyled on for somo
time until the difference between them amounted TO
only a franc karat
The broker. however subbornly refused 10 go be-
low the figure he had mentioned, and the merchant
was equally determined not - above his price
the former put his diamonds back into the red
pockeboOk and started for the door having reached
which he stopped considered a moment and turned
back, saying that he would yield the point OF differ

give him opportunity Of securing the future trade

Out came the pOckctbOok again, and from II was
taken the package OF diamonds which were promptly
transferred and paid for When the merchant came
open his pack after he reached home he found
that comparatively worthless lot Of stones had been
substituted for those he had examined prior 10 max
Ing the purchase. The broker had accomplished this
deception by carrying two red p0cketboOks one In
each of HIS breast pockets and both OF them
Ing packages of diamonds of exactly the same weight.
In taking back his good diamonds from the dealer
on the right side when he apparently reconsdered
his determination not to sell he took out the pocket
book from his lcfhand pocket and conveyed from 10
TO the merchant packet CORES Ondlng In weight
with the one the latter had been bargaining for.
Pretty sharp practice that
