THE IMPERIAL DIAMOND.
Over Two Million Dollars Offered for Il BY
The NiZdn Of HYdGTdbdd.

1t is just thirty-thres years since the
writer was assured by the great Indian
jeweler of that day that there was one final
limit on the value of diamonds and rubies.
No one," he said, remained in the world
who would give more than 100000 for any
single stone. They will not do it, he said,
the they" meaning princely purchasers
generally, mot if could produce a ruby as
large as roc's egg; they have begun to
think of interest" The wealth of the
world has increased since then, and espe-
cially the wealth Of Individuals in a degree
which we hardly recognize; but we should
still have said that the man who would give
100000 for a single stone, would. that is,
pay $4,000 year for the pleasure of possess
ing useless article. usually Invisible both
to its pussessor and the world, could not be
discovered. 1t is evident, however. that the
jeweler moderated the charm OF the arti-
cles he dealt in.
The suit brought by the Nizam of the
Deccan against MI Jacobs, the jeweler, of
Simla, has revealed the fact that there is at
least one man capable of paying 920.O0
year forever for the possession of big da.
mond. Mr.. Jacobs Is said TO be IN Italian
or an Italian Jew named Barri, who in
early life either adopted or protested Mo-
hammedanism, who wandered through all
the courts of Asia buying and selling jew
els, and who, settling at last in Simla, at
tracted the noti~e OF Mr.. Marion Crawford,
who ideaiized him into MIR. lsaacs." II
seems certain that Mr.. Jacobs had large
transactions with the princes of India; that
the Nizam of Hyderabad habitually spent
with him 100000 a year, and that he at last
agreed to buy from him mighty diamond,
the Imperial, at the amazing price of e430,-
000 This is not mere newspaper gossip,
which we notice tends always to eXaggerate
fortunes and other sums of money. The
Nizam, either because he was repentant or
because he thought himself done, refused
to complete the bargain, alleging, after he
had seen the stone, that he purchased
only upon approval. a quarrel ensued,
ending in the arrest of Mr.. Jacobs
at Simla, and decision by the Supreme
Court that the NiZam must personally give
evidence and submit TO be croSs-eXamined
by a commission. The order so shocked
the fierce mobiles of Hyderabad that it might
have produced an Iasurrection; but tie
Nizam, who has no notion of being de-
feated in a plant, recollected that the
Prince of Wales had given evidence in

well as upon certain religious conSidera-
tiOns, contrived to SoOthe away irritated
feeling. His HighnesS was examined and

straightforwardly enough. He really had

RISE OF POOR WOMEN.

Chambermaids and Washerwomen Who

The rise of the wife of London's Lord

tendencies of the times and the overthrow

world. She was chambermaid at fashion
able hotelin West Kemp. where David Evans
Alderman of the ward of Castle Raynard and
now Lord Mayor of London, used to stop
during the hunting season. He fell in love
with the pretty girl who waited upon him,
and In manly and democratic spirit pro-
posed TO her and was accepted. So now the
humble servant is elevated to one Of the
highest social positions in the worlds mo-
tropolis, and will in the future entertain
royalty and the most distinguished men and
women of the nations
Her experience, however, is not uniaue.
The wife of Jules Grevy, ex- President Of
the french Republic, was his washer
woman before she sat in the palace. Many
women OF the highest social prominence
have risen from humble Surroundings

and this country, which persisted in smoking

the damper was turned, when il wouldn't

Our English aud German and Irish an
eeStOrs from the north of Europe didn't
know so much about stoves hundred years
ago rs they do to-day; there has been a
wonderful development; but they did make
stoves, and stoves in soma respects very
similar to those now in use, as far back as
1900 years ago. They were not exactly like
the stoves to-day, but they had some
features which have been adopted recently.
Under the lava and ashes which over
whemed Pompeii the Roman kitchen was
just as well preserved as the atrium, and
the stove OF that date was as safely kept
packed in the scOria Of old VesuVius as the
statue of Apollo.
There were some curious things about
those old Pompeiian stoves. At the bakers
there was an oven, or range, in which one
pound loaves, stamped with the kind of
-four used, were baked by the dozen. They
went in dough on one side and came out
neatly polished loaves on the other. There
was an arrangement by which liquid was
automatically dropped upon the surface of
the loaf while baking TO give the crust the
much priced glossy, shining surface. Then
there was the triple fue, too. connected
with these ovens for the smoke and gases,
which modern stove manufacturers adver-
tise.

American women is due to her efforts. An
