The Profit in Diamonds.

''The biggest profits in the jewelry well-known Cincinnati dealer in pre- cious stones to friend the other day. ''In no other branch of the trade are prices kept at such an inflated figure. No jeweler will tell man outside the trade the true value of stone. He may appraise it at a certain figure, with guarantee to buy it back at that price any time less small per cent. They can afford to do that, for the diamond loses nothing by age, and the chances are that the owner of the stone will not want to part with it.'

THE BRAKES STRATEGY,
How It Captured and Drowned Maraud
 ing Crow.

ing Crow.
 A duck with a brood of ducklings was walking along the edge of Hankins' pond near Pleasant Mount, Pa., few days ago when one of flock of crows that were hanging about the spot lit on the ground near the ducks, and pecked and strutted to and fro, in her indiffer- ent sort of way, as though not noticing the presence of the ducks, but all the time drawing closer and closer to them. Finally the crow made a sudden roove- ment, captured a duckling and flew away with it, greeted by loud chorus of congratulatory caws from its compan- ions, who had been perched in tree not far away as quiet mice. There was great commotion in the duck family over the loss of one of it's members, and the old ducks drake, which had been swimming in the pond near by, hurried to her and quacked his coincidence.
 After a few minutes another crow, probably envious of the success of it's fellow in securing so. delicious meal SO neatly, dropped down on the ground and began system of similar maneuvers. The cawing of the crows ceased instant ly, and the eyes of the flock evidently fixed on their scheming companion, watching the result of his wiles. A farmer who had been an eyewitness of the first performance now thought it strange and stupid on the part of the old ducks, after their experience, that they did not take their little ones in the water. But he did not interfere, being curious to see what success the second crow would have. He soon discovered that the ducks had longer heads than he gave them credit for. The crow pecked and sidled along until it was quite near the ducks, when it darted forward to seize duckling. But the drake had his eye on the marauder, and before the crow had the duckiing the drake had the crow. It seized the black robber by ono leg, and in spite of the latter's yells and fluttering, plunged in the pond with it. The capture of the crow filled the flock of crows with alarm, and they rose in a body and circled about with deafen- ing cries. The sudden disappearance of their comrade beneath the water aroused all their suspicious nature, and they flew rapidly away. The drake remained below for an extraordinary long time, and when it came to the surface the crow was not with it. It appeared soon afterward. It was as dead as a stone, the revenging drake having drowned it. The drake swan back to its mate and family, and a loud quacking of congratu- lations followed, after which the whole family launched themselves in the water for triumphal swim.

JENKS, DREAM.

Jenks had queer dream the other night. He thought he saw a prize-fghters' ring, and in the middle of it stood a doughty little champion who met and deliberately knocked over, one by one. a score or more of big, burly-looking fellows, as they advanced to the attack. Giants as they were in size, the them. It was all so funny that Jenks woke up laughing. He accounts for the dream by the fact that he had just come to the conclu- sion, after trying nearly every big, drastic pill on the market, that Pierce's Pleasant Granules. easily "knock out and beat ali the big pills hollow They are the original and only genuine Little Liver Pills.
