freight-brakemen on the Cincinnati,
Wabash & Michigan road were recent
ly discharged at Wabash, Ind, for
smuggling beer into the cabs and ca

of intoxicants are almost certain to be

THE WOMAN LAWYER
Her Varied Experiences In the LAv
School and the Court Room.

Her Varied Experiences In the Law
school and the Court Room.
A woman student of the law, whether
In an office or q law school, has some
peculiar experiences. To single wom-
an among class % men, the dilemma
of the lecturers rs to . fitting mode OF
address is amusing. Most of them will
gaze anXiously around, and, fixing the
eye upon the lone female, with slighs
bow will open the discourse with the
word "Gentlemen." One professor was
always careful and courteous enough to
begin with the phrase: Lady and
gentlemen
1t is also amusing and gratifying TO
see the refining effect of the lady's en-
trance into the lecture hall or library
of the school. If the appraised mascu-
line feet do not at once and voluntarily
come down from the table top or back
Of the next chair, they are assisted TO
their rightful place on the floor by the
hands of some fellow student. OF
course there are always some men who
heartily disapprove of woman's pres
ence within the walls of the law school,
and are pleased to show their disap-
proval in any way short of actually
rude conduct. / have never known OF

| When the woman lawyer puts ont
her shingle, or in modern fashion In.
scribes her name on the marble tablets
at the entrance of her building, her
first experiences do not differ much
from those of her brothers who are just
beginning. Perhaps she has few
more ''cranks" among her first clients,
who go to her because they ''think
they will get more sympathy from
woman" When sooner or later they
have to be shown the door, their re-
proaches for her inhuman hard-heart-
edness are particularly severe, because
they expected letter things from :
woman"
Her clients are not, as many suppose,
chiefly women On the contrary she u
more likely to be employed by men,
who want to give her chance to show
what she can do. Therefore her cases
are as likely to be questions of busl-
ness contracts as controversies that are
connected with matters popularity sup
posed to be within womans sphere.
When she appears in court the won.
an attorney finds the judges and at
tending counsel as, courteous and a.
deferential as they would be in her
drawing room. They will treat her -
an equal, except that they will assist
her by placing chairs. handing boolrs
ard papers, and doing more favors for
her than for her male colleagues II
fact they treat her very much as they
would treat the distinguished legal
lights Of the age if they were within
the bar, that is, with u deferentisl
courtesy. This Of course is only tbs
case when the woman lawyer behaves
as lady. If she assumes defiant
and bullying manner, as, If to demand

SEX IN DIAMONDS.

A Jeweler Who Believes There Ia SEE In
Everything. Even in Diamonds.
In the big show window Of New
York jewelry store rested small tray
that gathered crowd of curious spec
tators to the window. Every time tho
sunlight played upon the plate glass
tho tray corruscatcd with prismatic
hues of dazzling brilliancy. The tray
is well known to the trade. It is de.
signed to display tho remarkable varia,
tions of the color of large African mine
diamonds, and contains examples of all
the colors known. 1t possesses great
interest for novices in gems, and the
icweler is called upon half o dozen
times day to explain the beauties Of
the specimens
ut took long time to get this col.
lection together" the jewcler said,
land it is the only one in the town of
the kind thus arranged. You see here
the brown diamond, the absinthe, the
canary or yellow, the gem, the pink,
the rote, and tho coffee and the green
diamond. The effect of these combina-
tions in the sunlight is enhancing.
Each predominant hue seems to impart
a distinct luster to the prismatic scintil-
lations When the tray is swung to
and fro in the sunbeams it gives forth
as you sec perfect blaze of rainbow
colors. These gems also illustrate diff
ferent cuttings of the diamonds. Were
they all set in bracelet or brooch or
a necklace they would make rarely
beautiful trinket, but it would cost a
heap of money"
The jeweler picked out one sparkle
with pair of diamond tweezers and
held it forward in the show window.
This is Brazilian gen." he said,
like which there is only one other III
the world, in Paris, and the French one
is not as pure or as large as this This
is what is called black diamond and
is valued at twenty-five hundred dol
lars. 1t weighs triflc less than fou,
karats. Its beauty lies in the fact that
it changes its color in different lights
In this strong sunlight you see it is al
most black, but it gives forth pris
matte radiance greater than that emit,
ted by the best of the black gems. In
gaslight, you observe, the black hue
becomes a rich golden brown, and the
play of colors is changed, too. Dia
monds of this sort are regarded by the
superstitious miners as gold stones,
that is, gems possessing power of i'm
parting good luck to the owner in the
search for hidden gold. This stone wa
secured in Paris, whittier it was brough
in rough for cutting by Rio Janeir'
merchant.
Here" continued the jeweler, I'll
another curiosity" He picked up ;
three-karat white stone with the tweez
ers ut is specimen that will prov,
to you that there is difference of Sc,
in the gems. This is what is called tn,
female, multiplying diamond"
He held the gem under a strong mag
nifying glass and pointed to four o
five smaller diamonds, clustered abou
one of the facets at the edge of the ia
bic of the stone. ''Thc male gem" tn
jeweler said, lis sharp-pointed ant

There is fine specimen alongside tina

who see those specimens to be told tina
they are of different sex as well IS col

quite frequently, but he spends most OF
his time upon his farm, in the Harlem

An interesting discovery mas Just oeen
made by Frenohman in Vienna. He
has discovered a means Of joining to-
gether by melting other metals beside
platinum with glass. BY the process no
has discovered the metal and the glass
5ocome perfectly welded, In this way
electric lamps can be manufactured
without using platinum. The invention,
which is perhaps, destined to have great
effect ON the production Of electric light,
is already creating quite a sensation
among scientific circles In Vienna.
