MAKING DIAMONDS GROW.
It's Not Very Difficult If You Turn Them
Over Often Enough.

Over Often Enough.
Look at this stone.'' said a young
journeyman jeweler in street car the
other day, removing a tissue paper
wrapping from piece of white wax, in
the center of which beautiful diamond
blazed. THAT is worth at the least
$780,"
How is it that you can afford to buy
such a valuable stone as that?" asked
one of his friends who knew his circum-
stances
Il will put you onto the snap" said
the jeweler That stone has been
growing for year, and 1 think it has
got its growth :
What do you mean by a diamond
,yrowing?" asked the friend
4 will tell you. You remember the
little spark I had in my scarfpin last
Christmas. Well, this is what it has
grown to in less than year. The little
stone cost me dollar and the pin cost
me 8. so. l sold the pin for s.. and
bought an eight-carat stone. a little off
shape. for a trifle over s.. I bought Il
stud setting. You know you can get
those things quite low now. They are
made up by the thousands by firms
which do not make finished goods.
Wen. I put the stone in the setting on
a spiral and sold it the same week for
SIS. Then l went to the office and
bought the best stone | could get for
SIS and mounted that in the same
manner. | wore it month and then
sold it for $50 to a bartender. and | put
S25 into another stone. 1t was a little
beauty. and | traded it for another one
of about the same size. and got s. to
boot. That put the stone down to so,
and | put it into setting which cost me
s.. and sold it few days later for $50.
I got another stone for $50. and had it
two months before l made turn with
it: then | cleared S12. and put the money
into a beautiful stone, which brought
me up to $50. when | sold it in hand
some stud setting.
Then | got a chance to sell ring for
SIS. and | made it to order, putting in a
stone which cost me ST. 80. / put the
whole S75 into another stone, which /
carried around for awhile. and had
fully made up my mind to keep.
but a butcher offered me 500
for it and | sold it to him.
1t was in crown setting. which cost
me S6.25. For the hundred l got a
dandy stone, and l was sure l could
keep that one. but | have had four bet
ter ones since. and have got up TO $50.
l can't go much higher than that, l
guess. for there are few men among my
acquaintance who can afford to tempt
me with a profitable offer for it.
wouldn't sell it tonight for 5000 be-
cause l know that l have got a bargain.
I'm pretty good judge OF diamonds
and when l put that stone into a nice
ring l will make it look like $3.50
WORTH and don't think that any body
can persuade me to sell it for any thing
less. In all the changes l don't think
that I have put in more than SO or SIS
of my pocket money. The rest has all
been profit on the stones and settings"

THE GIRL WE LIKE BEST.
Some of the Qualities That Endear Her t
Mankind.

There is type of girl that every body
likes. Nobody can tell exactly why,
but after you have met her you turn
away to some other woman and say:
Don't you like Miss Grosvenor?" Now
the reason you like her is a subtle one:
without knowing all about her, you feel
just the sort of girl she is.
She is the girl who is not too bright
and good to be able to find joy and
pleasure all over the world.
She is the girl who appreciates the
fact that she can not always have the
first choice of every thing in the world.
She is the girl who is not aggressive
and does not find joy in melting ag-
gressive people,
She is the girl who has tact enough
not to say the very thing that will cause
the skeleton in her friends closet to
rattle its bones.
She is the girl who. whether it is
warm or cold, clear or stormy, finds no
fault with the weather.
She is the girl who, when you invite
her any place, compliments you by look
ing her best.
She is the girl who is sweet and wom-
anly to look at and listen to, and who
doesn't strike you as poor imitation of
a demi-mondaine.
She is the girl who makes this world
pleasant place because she is so pleas
ant herself.
And, by the by, when you come to
think of it, isn't she the girl who makes
you feel she likes you and, therefore,
you like her?-Chicago Journal.
