Eyes, it is real nice. Mr.. Bradley
tries to make everything pleasant for
u.s.
How heavily do they speculate
here2'
80, my, l don't know" the portly
female replied. ''Some ladies buy as
much as $40 worth, but most OF them,
l guess, invest 50 and So at a time"
Don't they ever sell-sell SHORTY"
well, now, really I'm afraid we
ladies don't quite understand that
at least some of us. But some OF us
make money. That young lady near
the window with a white feather on
her hat made six dollars yesterday.
How much did she lose first2 y. |
couldn't say. There was a lady friend
of mine who used to come here who
lost twenty dollars, though. She told
her brother all about it and said sne
couldn't see why she couldn't make
instead of losing. He said he didn't
see why a colt couldn't wade across a
river without getting its feet wet.
But then he was a man and men are
so unsympathetic. Look at Fanny
Blinn on the big board. Shes made
hundreds and hundreds of thousands
of dollars, and she's a woman. We
would all buy over there if we had
money enough; but we nave TO
begin.n
The manager said he didn't care for
any notorlety. They were not adver-
Using this place, though the female
habitues might tell their friends about
it.
''There are plenty of women who
want to speculate" he said, "andyou
know many brokers object to TAX
ing their business. It's too small, and
they think women are 'kickers.'
Bradley Il Co. might as well have
their business
And Bradley & Co. probably rake in
a good income in 81, 81 and So invest

The Manufacture of Diamonds.
The practical production of the dia-
mond by artificial means has been the
theme of a great deal of thought and
a good many experiments, but up to
this time it has eluded all the efforts
of the experimenters, though carbon
crystals closely approaching the gem
have more than once been secured.
while many persons think it is merely
a matter Of time, and not a long n
at that, when this secret Will have
been wrenched from nature. In some
recent experiments on the effect of
high temperature and pressure on
carbon, carbon rods were surrounded
by benzine, paraffine, ~treacle, chloride
or bisulphide OF carbon, and sub
mitted to great pressure in a hy-
draulic press, the rods being mean
time heated by passing an electric cur
rent through them.
In some cases considerable amount
of gas was evolved, and a soft, friable
deposit of carbon produced. In no
case was the density of carbon in
creased. When the rod was ur-
rounded with silica the latter fused,
and the rod was largely converted
into graphite; the same occurred with
STA, the rod being rapidly destroyed
ers of coke, lime and silica the rod
vas rapidly corroded, and was found
after the experiment to be coated
with acoke-like layer of great harsh
ness, sufficient to scratch rock crystal
and ruby and to wear down the cut
facets of a diamond. 1t resists the ac-

New Napery.
The ''hot corn" hot potato" and
"hot rolf napkins represent one of
the newest fads in fancy napery, and
are simply hemstitched and decorated
squares of linen. For a potato nap
kin, the words ''hot potaton are
worked in outline diagonally across
one corner; in the remaining corners
are worked potato blossoms or initials,
according to fancy. Corn and roll
napkins are similarly decorated in ap-
propriate designs.
Fine new toweling shows small pat
terms, such as birds eye or a tiny
clover or ivy leaf scattered thickly
over the surface.
The newest features in toweling are
the all round borders and hemstitch-
ing, which take the place of fringe.
These fringeless towels strikes one
somewhat oddly at first, but they
spare the laundress troublein straight
ening out the fringe on fine towels.
Heinstitching is very popular on all
household linen, being cen or pillow
and sheet shams and handsome sheets,
as well as lunch and tea cloths, nap
kins and doylies. For the larger
pieces the hem is about two inches
wide.
A new ornamentation for linen, and
one which is much admired, consists
of strong, handsome, open work en-
broidery. 1t appears on table run
ners, carving cloths and doylies, and
also on pillow shams and spreads.
In spite OF a fancy On the part of
some for the newer colored bed
spreads and bolster covers, white
spreads and shams continue to be
the popular thing. and the most
elegant of the top sheets and shams
are either beautifully hand EN-
broidered or ornamented with the
handsome open work already men
toned, or exquisitely hemstitched.
A Bright English Girl.
Miss Mary Louisa Worely is the
daughter of a medical man residing in
London. No sooner were her school
years over than Miss Morley began
to look to college as the natural field
for the future development of her
powers. She did not, in the first in
stance, aim ut Oxford or Cambridge,
but directed her attention by prefer
ence toward the examinations Of Lon
