Beauty of Baltimore Girls.

The beauty of Baltimore girls is due to
the purity of their stock, and to the con-
ditions of life in their pleasant old city.
They lead comfortable lives, with plenty
OF recreation and excellent food As q
class they are remarkably independent,
and are fond of the open air. They ride
well. walk great deal, play lawn tennis
from spring until late autumn, and dance
clear through the programme. AS con-
sequence they are well developed, have
good color, good forms and good muscles.
There are fewer great beauties in Balti-
more than there used to be. but the crop
OF girls who are pretty and bright shows
no diminution, and the years debutantes
Of the coming season will more than sus-
tain the fame of their sex.-Baltimore

The Diamond Dealers Methods,

Jacob Dreicer, the diamond dealer who
made the sensational sale of jewelry to
George Laws friends, the sloggers, is Q
Saratoga character. He seems as soft
and smiable and flexible as maiden, but
that Is merely his way of accomplishing
his business. There is more looking at
diamonds than buying them," he says.
THAT is true Of every place in the world.
II could charge B cents look from all
who come here would soon be rich with
out selling a stone" AS it is, the shrewd
fellow says he is merely paying his rent
and his fare back to New York. 1T is q
queer business" he says. people think
. man buys diamonds when he has made
@ little extra money. It takes more than
that, l tell you. He buys diamonds only
when he feels good. If man feels just
right, diamonds seem Just the thing to
invest in for himself and his wife. If he
didn't feel good they might as well be so
many bricks. Suppose man made q pot
Of money, and got up with headache, OF
his wife made him cross by refusing him
something-he has no use for diamonds
then. The ittlest thing that crosses q
man who has diamonds in his mind will
drive them out"
he knows another thing, does this
shrewd dealer in luxury.
He knows enough to sell his goods In
the store. and nowhere else. The store
Is my stage" he says. There is where I
play and understand my part. If man
takes diamonds away to his hotel to show
to his wife l might as well give him up
as customer. She shows them to one
lady. The lady is envious. Isn't that
flaw in that oner she says. She shows
them to another Beautiful, says that
lady, but like 'em clear white, or rosy
or whatever color these don't have. She
shows them to a third lady, and that one
says, They're splendid, but Mrs. Jones'
are bigger That settles it, particularly
as the husband has been told by one man
that he saw a finer pair sold for less
money once."-Saratoga Cor. New York

-D James Audubon
was born. The mother was killed
| few years later in negro insur-
rection on a plantation in Santo Do
| mingo, and young Audubon was sent
to France to be educated Almost before he
was able to walk he evinced a remarkable
love for nature, and spent much of his time
In endeavors to make drawings of the birds
with which he was familiar. His father en-
couraged him. and placed him in the studio
OF Partisan artist, where he was set to
drawing horses heads and the limbs Of
giants This work he neglected shamefully,
and again began to draw pictures of birds
and study their habits whenever it was DOS
sible. His father again yielded to the boys
tastes, and sent him to farm near Philadel-
phia The house there became a museum.
and he spent his time roaming the woods
with gun, staying among civilized people
long enough, however, to fall in love with
Lucy Bakewen Her father thought him un-
practical, and induced him to enter business
He was fiat failure as a business man, but
finally married the girl of his choice and
went west with his wife and a business
partner. Again he failed to prosper in busi-
ness, as he devoted himself completely to
natural history. tramping for days at a time
through the woods with no companion but his
gun. His friends looked upon him as insane,
but his wife sympathized with and helped
him.
His father died about this time, leaving
him an estate in France and $1,000. He
was defrauded of the money by dishon-
est trustee. He earned money by giving
craving lessons, and his wife educated their
two children by acting as a governess and
drawing teacher. Finally he published his
birds OF America" although beset by ter
rible difficulties. The publication of his
other books followed, his sons, at that time
grown to manhood, helping their father
when the rest of the world laughed at him.
He died at his sons house, Minniesland ON

The Glory of Moscow.

The glory of Moscow is the Kremlin,
which is really the citadel, and within its
stout walls are scores of churches and
palaces. Here are the Cathedral Of the
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, the
Cathedral of the Archangel Michael, and
dozens OF other churches, the arsenal sur
rounded by $50 cannon taken from the
French during the disastrous retreat Of
1912. The magnifcence Of the churches
and palaces in the Kremlin surpasses be-
lief. The Church of the Annunciation
has its floor inlaid with agate, cornelian,
Jasper, chalcedony and other precious
stones, thousands and thousands of dol
lars worth OF gems being thus laid down
for floor. In the Cathedral of St. Izaak,
Alexander will see the tombs Of all the
czars down to the time of Peter the Great,
who chose to be buried in St. Petersburg,
an example which has been followed by
all his successors. There are some dozens
Of tombs of emperors and expresses, for
each czar chose to have shrine to him
self, and over the remains of each was
erected temple or cenotaph Of consider
able size, cleaning with gems of gold.
As medi@val traveller said of the tomb
of Thomas a. Beckett that gold was the
meanest thing seen on 1t, the same with
propriety and truth might be said of the
tombs of the cars, for some boast of q
wealth of over $1,OOO,0OO in precious
stones which adorn each part of the
shrine above the tomb.
In the Kremlin are preserved the impe-
rial crowns and regalia of Russia; over
twenty crowns are here, comprising not
only those belonging to Russia proper,
but those Of countries conquered by the
Russian armies, from the crown of Siberia
to the crown of Finland, that of Poland,
the Crimea, Astrakhan, the Caucasus and
others being among the number, together
with orbs, scepters, swords and royal
chains and other jewels too numerous to
count, and besides all these diamonds,
rubies, garnets, sapphires, turquois, emer-
aids and pearls by the bushel are found in
the imperial treasures, too oonumerous to be
set or even to be counted, so that distin-
guished foreigner who many years ago,
by special favor, obtained access to that
part of the Kremlin in which are stored
these important treasures, said that they
lie in piles, in golden bowls and in silver
cups, in such abundance as to defy emu
neration or valuation. Globe Demo-

Count Herbert Bismarck.

Count Herbert Bismarck is now man
about 40 years Of age. Men mature later
abroad than in America; at least they
last longer, and Count Herbert may be
said to be entering upon his career. He
is tall, erect, and his bearing is of the
military order, though it is said that he
resembles his mother rather than his
father. He studied at the University of
Bonn, where the present emperor of Ger
many was educated. He was there noted
for his fondness for learning and appi-

his strong esprit du corps which bound
him to his fellow students.

The Peach and Nectarine.

There is widely prevalent impression
yet false one-that the peach and the
nectarine are two distinct fruits. They
both have one and the same parent,
Amygdalus Persica, and their identity b
proven by the fact that, though the one
has a smooth and the other downy skin,
both have been frequently produced, not
ONLY from the same tree but the self same
branch, and more than this, peach has
been known to grow and mature with one
of its sides smooth, like the nectarme,
and the other covered with the ordinary
fuzz or down. Between the peach and
the nectarine the French make no other
distinction than to call the latter the
smooth and the former the dovny peach.

Our grandmothers well knew the de-
light of stealing the perfume from the
flowers, and their "stin room" where were
all conveniences for this, was part of
the machinery Of every home In our
country vast quantities of flowers go to
waste and we send to France for our per
fumes. yet nothing is easier nor more
womanly than to make the perfumes from
flowers which we use. Into a large,
fiat, clean earthenware vessel pour some
purified fat lard and suet mixed, warmed
sufficiently to make it liquid. Throw
into it as many scented flowers Of one
kind as it will contain. Let remain
twenty-fo0r hours covered, then strain
of the fat and add more flowers, repeat
ing the process every day for week.
The method of iberating this essence Of
flowers from the fat is very simple. Per-
NIT it to harden. cut it into small cubes
and put into spirits of wine. The deli
cate odor Immediately transfers itself
from the coarse fat to the spirituous sol.
vent, and such q strength of perfume Is
procured with little trouble as would cost
