SEXES IN DIAMONDS
A Jeweler Points Out a Male and Female
in Group Of Gems,

IN Group OF Gems.
"Here, said jeweler to Jeaueler's Re
cieaO reporter the other day, ''is quite curl
osity." He picked up three-karat white
stone with the tweezers. "It is a specimen
that will prove to you that there is q diff
ference OF sex in the gems This is what is
called the female, multiplying diamond 4"
He held the gem under a strong magnify
ing glass and pointed to four or five smaller
diamonds clustered about one of the facets
at the edge of the table of the stone 1.-The
male gem" the jeweler said, sis sharp
pointed and never gathers these embryo
gems. There is a fine specimen alongside
that pink stone. 1t surprises most people
who see those specimens to be told that they
are of different sex as well as color, but
such is the fact"

Two mothers, each with young baby and

RAINY Day COWS or LoNpoN.


When the London woman goes a splashin'
through the mud and Crime on rainy days,
rays the New York Sun, she wears a water
proof tweed faced up Oh the inside with
macintosh. Each of the vertical lines in the
skirt represents plait that spreads little,
and so widens the circumference of the skirt
as she walks The leggings are like the
gown, and are met at the knee by knicker-
bockers. The bodice has an extra shoulder
covering in the way of a zouave that does
away with the need of wrap on all not
very cold DAYS And how is it possible for
q woman to look blown about or dishevelled
or draggled in rig like this? If only all
women were young and fair and slight and
courageous, what simple matter dress re-
form would be. 1t is the stout woman that
bars the way.
This is how the French ma m 'selle does it
when she goes a-huntin'. 1t is corduroy
in the soft dun color that blends so
harmoniously with autumn's gorgeous
color setting. 1t is short in the skirt and
worn over knickerbockers; no petticoats.
1t has leggings fitted more closely and
neatly than the proverbial glove, and closed
with old silver buttons like those that fasten
the bodice and the sleeve. A. belt Of ruSset
leather clasped with an old silver buckle, o
Brighton hat of soft gray felt with a single
scarlet wing at the side, and Just an edge of
scarlet peeping out at the throat and wrists.

REIGN OF THE PRINCESS
This promises to be a great season for the
princess gown in its extreme simplicity for
out-of-door service, but as elaborate as the
most sumptuous material loaded with daz-
zling trimmings can make it for receptions
and dinners. A charming model is prin-
cess dress metamorphosed into an orthodox
street suit bv an adjustment of the unique
shoulder cape, which is cut plain across the
shoulders. pleated very full over each arm
to form the stylish wings and purposely de-
signed to not meet across the bust, thereby
furnishing an excuse for the cord ornament.
The material is twiIled cheviot, reddish
brown and blue stripes, ,fecked with chamois
color The piquant high collar and cape are
lined with this same yellow and chamois
gloves are worn with the costume.
Like most of the latest designs this seems
as if intended for the slender wo an. The
pretty felt hat is of blue, becomingly bent
ard pinched to suit youthful wearer, and
is trimmed with bows of brown velvet rib
bon and large ostrich feathers
II is pretty we'll known by this time that
one of the popular coats is cut without
darts. The fit at the back and across the
bust must be as perfect as in any other coat,
but the front is left to fall loose from the
bust down. The broad felt hat is one of the
most popular, since equally becoming to
the young or middle aged, and in this case
to be in keeping with the plain
gown,

BATHING FOR BEAUTY.
The World Is Stuffed Full Of Nom
sense About Simple Washing.
COLD WATER Is AN INJURY.
Childrens Health Often Ruined BY the
Quack idea of Shock.
SHIRLEY DARES COMMON SENSE TALK
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH. ]


The first attention paid us when we enter
this world and the last as life departs from
us is bath. The unwashed corpse conveys
the last significance of indignity and for
lornness. Outside these two functions most
mortals deal with water sparingly as pos
sible-that is to say, they wash when they
feel dirty, drink when they are parched, but
are unconfessedly glad to escape the neces-
sity of either. 1t is hard to tell what chill
dren hate most, learning Sunday school
lesson or taking the Saturday bath exacted
of them.
1t takes as much cultivation to appreciate
a bath as to enjoy painting. A country
lad will find interest in looking at Verest-
chagin's war pictures, but their terrible
eloquence is lost upon him. Curious that
in an age when conveniences for bathing
are common as street lights there is not the
most distant need of warning devout souls
against too great indulgence in the pleasures
of the bath, as Holy Church in the Middle
Ages found necessary,

Snake Killers Taken Ill.

The odor of snakes is one of the most
sickening imaginable, as party Of reptile
slayers at Duncan's station, Kan, learned
the other day. The slaughter took place
at stone quarry on the farm of Pack Dun
can, we'll to do colored man, where Dun
cans boys are engaged in getting out stone
for the use of the Missouri Pacific railway.
In large fssure in the rocks the boys
came across a ball of snakes composed Of
blue racers, rattlers, copperheads, vipers
and black snakes, ranging in length from
one to six feet, all intertwined promiscu-
ously together. Being in a comatose con-
dition, the snakes were unable to extricate
themselves from the mass and were easily
dispatched. Raising another rock below
this, they came upon a similar mass OF
snakes, which they also killed. They con-
tinued raising stones deeper down the fis-
sure, finding these snake rolls, until they
had killed 1876 reptiles, some of them mon
sters, the larger ones being of the black
snake species. They finally reached a
depth where the snakes were not in cendi-
ton Of Information, and saw hundreds of
them crawling farther down the assure.
The stencil which this wholesale killing of
venomous reptiles occasioned was over
towering, and the Duncan boys were taken
violently i'll, vomiting for some time after
they had reached home.

MRS. FRANCES BuRkE-RocHE.

fGrmer, like nations that know not war,
make little history. The latter always
come beneath the public gaze.
Had the married life of Miss Frances
Work, of New York and Mr.. J. B. Roche,
of London, been felicitous no reports of the
couples welded bliss would have crowded
the columns of English and American
papers. But the union proved a mistake,
and consequently the calcium light of curl
osity shone on the deplorable affair from
start to finish. The finish has just been
reached. 1t takes shape as a decree Of
divorce granted to Mrs. Roche because of
her husbands desertion and non-support
The testimony elected at the trial ap-
parently stamps Mr.. Burke Roche, as he is
known in society" for a fortune hunter.
After he had wooed and won the beautiful
daughter of the wealthy Frank Work the
bridegroom seems to have settled down tC
a career of luxurious ease at the expense
of his Yankee father-in-law." At least
that is among the sworn statements heard
in court. Mr.. Work stood the drain until
it piled up toward the hundred thou
sand dollar mark. Then he frightened his
purse strings and the London gentleman"
SO wearied of matrimony that he sent his
wife and three children to America, where
they are liable to stay, for it is hardly pos
sible that Mrs. Burke-Roche will ever
again accept the task of supporting a
''highly connected" husband of foreign
birth. The decree granted by the superior
court of Delaware orders that said
James B. Roche, the respondent, pay the
costs of this cause and the costs are taxed

DUPONT STREET IN MINIATURE
The Chinese Forced From Commercial Street
but a Far Worse Class Appear
in Their Stead.

There was time, years ago. when the
name of Commercial street called to mind
the famous Dupont street of San Francisco.
II was there the demi-monde, such as they
were in those days, held full but not unin-
terrupted sway, and the festive Chinee was
in his element
Gradually, however, the houses of pros
titution were driven away, and Commercial
street became respectable once again, save
for the presence of the moon-eyed celestial
and his laundry. II remained in this con-
dition until couple Of years ago, and there
was every reason TO believe that the cree
ton on that thoroughfare Of mammoth
and costly buildings would do much TO drive
the Chinese to other haunts. The build
ings erected by f. s.. Dyer had much to do
with bringing about this result, and while
one or two representatives of the Flowery
Kingdom still hold the fort and take in
washing or do other business, the great
mass Of the heathens have been forced TO
other quarters. But even the banishing of
the Chiuese did not succeed in Purifying
the thoroughfare. Some Of the rookeries
remaining are now tenanted by class of
people who are as far beneath the Chinese
as the latter are beneath the whites. My bus
mess frequently calls me in that direction,
and not long since my attention was first at
tracted to the depraYed wretcbes who in
habit that quarter by an invitation from a
colored dame to come in and share her hos
pitality. Now. l am far from being
handsome, and the only use the colored
dame could have of me, would be to extract
what few dimes might be jingling in my
pockets. Since then l have frequently
passed up that thoroughfare, and night
after night have l seen these creatures az
their doors soliciting trade" from the
passers- by; indeed, it is safe to say that nc
male can pass up or down the street after
nightfall without receiving a pressing in
vitation from the dusky bellies who orna-
ment the doors and windows of their domi
Giles, dressed in their best Sunday clothes
Now, personally, l am not very modest
and have lived too many years
in this vale of tears to be
very much shocked at such state Of at
fairs, but / submit that il is time the city
officers took up the matter and forced these
colored danes inside their nuts and pre-
vented them from indulging in such IA
grant violations of the city ordinances
Their conduct, nightly, is disgusting, i'm
moral and obscene, and is a menace to the
morality of the youth of the city. Tht
officers may say, and with fair reason, tina
it is impossible 10 wholly stamp cut sucl
dens of vice and immortality as are herein

liciting can be stopped and the brazel
wenches be compelled to keep within thei

The Klncaid Trial.

WASHINGTON, March pa number of
witnesses in the Kincaid trial were exam
ined this morning. William Mccormick,
one Of the door keepers of the House, said
he heard Taulbee call Kincaid a liar before
the shooting occurred. About an hour and
a quarter afterwards, Kincaid returned
and asked witness advice as to what he
should do in regard to the trouble. Wit
ness replied he had no advice to give. Said
Kincaid; 81 am not able to cope with such
man as Taulbee. l have been sick and
weak. More than that, l was not armed;
did not even have my cane"
Then Kincaid left and walked rapidly to
the head of the stairway. In a short time,
about half a minute, witness heard the
report of a pistol.
On cross-exam1nation, he denied having
heard Taulbee call Kincaid "dirty liar
''monkey" or id little coward" nor did
he hear Taulbee tell Kincaid to go and
arm himself.
Robert Woodbridge, another door keeper,
substantially corroborated Mccormick s
testimony, except he testified to having
seen Taulbee pull Kincaid's ear.
