WHY THEY WEAR DIAMONDS.
The Hotel Clerk Says It Gives n Look of
Prosperity.

The Hotel Clerk Says 1t Gives n Look of
Prosperity.
That's all right about joking the
hotel clerks about their big dia-
monds," said the hotel clerk as he
reached over the desk as though he
intended to grab the writer. II hon
estly think that when newspaper men
have TO write a four or five line joke
to ill in they tackle the hotel man
and his diamonds. Well, if there is a
class of people in all this world who
ought TO wear diamonds, they are the
hotel clerks. They are an all suffering
class as sure as you live. Why, Il
they were treated right they would
be presented by admiring friends with
diamonds and watches galore, day in
and day out through the entire year.
Nov, let me give you a pointer on
how the clerks all seem to hitch on to
diamonds. The hotel clerk takes to
tho glittering stones like n duck takes
to water. Now, the proprietor of the
hotel wants the man who stands be-
hind the desk to be as neat as n pin.
1t gives the house n standing. You
cannot think of a hotel clerk in Bos-
ton who is not n well dressed man.
They must dress well, and if they did
not the trade would begin to fall off.
Then, to make things stronger, the
clerk must of necessity wear dia-
monds. This is TO give the house an
air of prosperity which it would not
otherwise have, perhaps. The propri-
etors van their men TO wear precious
stones. 1t gives the guests a chance
TO say, We'll, these fellows are pretty
well paid and the house must be doing
a pretty good business when they all
wear en- So you can see why it is
the moment n man gets n position as
hotel clerk he at once goes hustling
and buys a diamond. It's part of the
business.
1T is n wonder TO me-" continued
the clerk thoughtfully, that more
hotel clerks do not die from nervous
prostration. Why, there are days that
stand behind here that 1 really don't
know what my name is. Ifeel com
pletely turned around. 1t is no easy
task to have 500 guests in n room and
answer questions to about fifteen at a
time. Then the questions which are
asked. They are simply pa~ralyzing.
l really and honestly think that Just
the moment a man with the average
amount of common sense stands before
a hotel clerk he forgets all that he
ever knew. There was a fellow here
a moment since who asked me if the
gentleman in 46 was in. l answered
that he was not. When will he come
inF he inquired, and half a dozen
very silly questions followed.
Il know it's an old minstrel gag,
but one granger asked me yesterday
what time the 4 o'clock train left for
Worcester. We are expected to know
everything, and if we do not know it
all a majority of the guests kick and
say that we are stupid. From the mo-
ment a clerk goes on duty until he
leaves his desk, life is n burden. He
does not have a single moments hap
piness."
The diamond stud glittered in the
clerks shirt front, and n dangerous
glitter was in his eyes, as an up coun-
try customer wanted to know if he
could have n front room with bath for
81 day.-Boston Herald.

Hypnotic Suggestion of Crime.

M. Liegeois, professor Of law at
Nancy, has made n special study of
hypnotic suggestion in the relation to
civil and criminal law, and has pub
lished his results in n recent memoir.
He has made q large number of ex-
periments TO establish the possibility
of suggesting crimes, which the sub
lect of such suggestion may carry out
while ignorant of the motive power
that guides their hands. The follow
ing was one of his experiments: Arm
ing himself with a revolver he took a
subject at random from among the
five or six somnambulists with him at
M Liebault's. To remove any posi-
BILE idea of play he loaded the revolver
and fired one shot in the garden.
Then he went into the house and
showed TO one of the subjects n card
just pierced by the ball. I'm less than
a quarter of a minute" he said, II
suggested to Mime. G. the idea of
killing Nj. z. by n pistol shot. Abso-
lutely unconscious and perfectly do
Gle, Mime. G. approached M. p.
and fired the pistol. The commissary
questioned her Immediately. She con-
fessed her crime with complete indif-
ference; she killed NJ. p. because she
did not like him. They could arrest
her. She know well what awaited her.
She was asked if l had not suggested
the idea of the murder she had Just
committed. She assured us that this
was not so, that she was led TO it spon.
t~aneously, and that she alone was tc
blame. Chicago Tribune.

Inquiries extending over a period
of forty years, made of about three
hundred members of the Cambridge
and Oxford university crews, insti-
tuted by DIR. Maclaren, director of the
university gymnasium at Oxford, have
elected facts which may be accepted
as experimental evidence of the value
of physical training in a class of cases
in which the conditions of life are
most favorable, hence affording a test
from which practically every element
except the purely muscular one is
eliminated. The benefits experienced
by members of these crews are stated
to be an increase of stamina, of en-
ergy, enterprise and executive power,
and of fortitude in endurance of trials,
privations and disappointments-"a
goodly list of benefits bearing on the
mental and moral as conspicuously as
on the physical side of the question: -
says DIR. Maclaren, ''for, in the strug-
gle for existence, failure is more like
~ to result from inability to endure
trials and diSappointments than from
merely physical weakness-the statis-
tics of suicide bearing out this state
ment. "-Once a Week.

The quantity of champagne made at
Rheims and Epernay, France, is al
most incredible. A great deal of non
sense is written and spoken on this
point. One is gravely told hat more
champagne is drunk in Russia alone
than all the vineyards of France could
supply, and hat America-well, Amer
lea gets cider forchampagne. The fact
is that it is very difficult TO smuggle
champagne into Russia, and every
bottle which goes there is recorded at
the custom house on the frontier, for
the Russian tax is eighty cents a bot
tie. England and America
more champagne than all the other
nations put together, excepting
France; The supply is equal to the
demand, despite the fact that America
imports more champagne every year.
One house in Rheims alone exports
two millions of bottles of champagne
yearly, all high class wines, too.
From the entire champagne district of
France, there was exported last year
twenty millions of bottles of cham
payne, eight millions of bottles of
which came to MISUNDERSTANDING.
