Jacob Dreicer. the diamond dealer who
made the sensational sale of jewelry to
George Laws friends, the sloggers, Is a
Saratoga character. He seems as soft
and amiable and flexible as q maiden, but
that is merely his way Of accomplishing
his business. There is more looking at
diamonds than buying them" he says.
That Is true of every place in the world.
If could charge cents look from all
who come here would soon be rich with
out selling a stone" As it is, the shrewd
fellow says he is merely paying his rent
and his fare back to New York. 1T is a
queer business" he says. People think
a man buys diamonds when he has made
little extra money 1t takes more than
that. tell you. He buys diamonds only
when he feels good. Ii man feels just
right, diamonds seem just the thing to
invest in for himself and his wife. If he
didn't feel good they might as well be SO
many bricks. Suppose man made pot
of money and got up with a. headache, or
his wife made him cross by refusing him
something-he has no use for diamonds
then. The littlest thing that crosses q
man who has diamonds in his mind will
drive them out"
He knows another thing, does this
shrewd dealer in luxury.
He knows enough to sell his goods in
the store, and nowhere else. The store
Is my STAGE" he says There is where
play and understand my part If man
takes diamonds away to his hotel to show
to his wife might as well give him up
as customer. She shows them to one
lady. The lady is envious. Isn't that q
flaw in that one?' she says. She shows
them to another. Beautiful, says that
lady, but like em clear white, or rosy
or whatever color these don't have. She
shows them to third lady, and that one
says, They're splendid, but Mrs. Jones'
are bigger. That settles it, particularly
as the husband has been told by one man
that he saw a finer pair sold for less
money once. "-Saratoga Cor. New York

Why should men, women and children
die Of disease at all? There is no pro-
vision for death in early life except by
accident, ignorance of the laws of health
and neglect of duty toward our neigh
Dor on the part of somebody. !.
Why do some die, and some recover3
Why should disease be fatal at all? Fa-
tality is connected to some extent with
the surroundings in which the patient
has lived before ihe became affected, and
Is living at the time at which the dis.
ease commences in given district. If
there has been large number of fatal
cases of Inflammation of the lungs. YOU
may be certain that the air of that dis
triet is not so pure as it ought to be, and
the habits of the inhabitants are not so
prudent as they might be. No man dies
of Inflammation of the lungs in middle
life, or indeed of any acute disease, be it
what it may, if he has lived healthily
both as to habits and character of sur
roundings.
If district has death rate of twenty
four in the 1000, it Is double what it
ought to be. The half of the deaths
which take place might have been pre-
vented if the people would obey the laws
of health, keep their houses and their
persons clean, dispose of their excreta in
proper way, and be temperate in their
habits of living, and at the same time do
their duty to their neighbor by avoiding
the sophistication of articles of diet, or
the mischief of adulteration.-Dr. Alfred

Drifting from the Judiciary to COVER

Governor Dick" Ogiesby busted a mo-
nopoly. In his sight barber monopoly

though at second hand. It was In the
bonanza days Of Leadvilie when the
stranger within its gates paid for what
he got. II had little hole In the ground

The mischief Of voracious novel read
ing Is really much more like the mischief
of dram drinking than appears 1t first
sight. It tends to make all other literary
nourishment intolerable, just as dram
drinking tends to make all true food in
tolerable, and to supersede food by drink
The voracious novel reader OF today. %
we have said, rejects Scott, because Scots
novels contain SO much good food that 1t
Is not mere story telling. The genuine
novel reader detests what he calls tame
stories, stories in which the interest is
not exaggerated and piled up ten times as
high as the interests Of ordinary life. He
wants always to be feeling thrill Of ex-
citement running through his nerves. al
ways to be living in imagination through
the concentrated essence Of the perils Of
hundred adventurous lives. instead OF
toiling calmly through the ordinary hopes
and fears of one.
No state of mind can be more unwhole-
some, because none is more calculated to
divert the energies from the sort Of quiet
tasks to which they should be habitua1ly
applied, and to keep them stretched on
the tenter hooks of expectation, waiting
for sort of strain which is never likely
to occur, and If it did occur, would GER
tainly not find q mans energies any the
better prepared for it for having been
worn out previously with long series Of
imaginary excitements. The habit Of
dram drinking, it is said, leads to fatty
degeneration Of the heart, /. e., excessive
fatteping round the heart, and weak
action Of the heart in consequence.
So, too. the habit Of exciting novel
reading leads to fatty degenera-
ti6n of the literary mind. t. e., to an
unhealthy and spasmodic action Of the
imagination, and general weakening Of
the power Of entering thoroughly into the
solid interests Of real life. So far as we
know, the only effective cure for this
habit of literary dram drinking-a cure
not always forthcoming moral shock
of some kind which exposes the hollow
ness Of all these unreal interests, and
makes them appear as artificial and melo-
dramatic as they actually are. That,
however, Is a cure which is an extremely
painful one, almost cruel in its disillusion-
ling power.-London Spectator.

plebeian suit of loud check for his lord

but he could not convince the proprietor
of the baths that he was really the bishop

eventually he had to retire in the suit of

Now if only the bath proprietor had
been a man of talent, he might in a

Small Fortunes for Flowers.

The most expensive dinner decoration
ever had charge of was on the occasion
of banquet given to General Cutting,
at Delmonico's. The whole outlay for
flowers alone was So, 900. But even this
does not approach the lavish extrava-
gance of the Roman Emperor Nero,
who gave a feast where 100000 was
spent in roses alone
For dinner of twelve people it is an
ordinary thing to spend from $50 to
$500 upon flowers. For banquet 81 900
to 5000 is usually laid out. But these
latter OUTLAWS are seldom made, because
of the infrequency of large dinners
One hundred and fifty dollars is an ex-
penditure of every day occurrence. In
the large cities like New York it is a
common thing for wealthy people to
spend from 800 to $500 week in flow
ers, exclusively for home use Where
do they put all these flowers, you ask?
You are wrong if you think there is a
large quantity of flowers. Whenever
have been asked to decorate house or
furnish flowers for daily use have Sc
lected quality rather than quantity.
Among wealthy people, the choicest
flowers for the dinner table are orchids.
These flowers exhibit remarkable vari-
alton; in fact, it is difficult in some species
to find two flowers exactly alike in size

A walk In the principal streets and
avenues from 10 o'clock in the morn
ing will convince the observer that.
whatever the shortcomings OF the street
cleaning department, storekcepers and
housekeepers are primarily and incident
ally responsible for dirty streets by
allowing their employees to sweep into
the streets the dust of their houses or
stores, and the dirt and refuse found
upon the sidewalk.
II tie walk Is extended to the tenement
house districts at any hour of the day it
viii be noticed that it is quite the custom
to throw ashes and garbage into the
streets, and to allow these materials to
escape into the street or upon the side
walk from insufficient, improper or over
flowing receptacles. 1t will also be mo-
ticed that soon after a street has been
cleaned it is again defiled by the refuse
and garbage from the neighboring build,
ings, and that the carts which transport
street dirt, ashes and garbage, sand fol-
new buildings, earth from cellar excava
tions and the dust and dirt from build
ings torn down, scatter some part of their
contents into the street as they proceed
to their destination.
A student of the problem Of street
cleaning has only to make the above OBJ
servations to learn the primary cause Of
| dirty streets in New York, and that
without thorough reform in this par
ticular relief is well nigh hopeless. This
simple solution Of the problem is only
the application to the streets of the IA
miliar rules which govern every well
regulated household. Cana house be

An Angry Client.

A lawyer of some eminence in this
city. while enjoying a social hour with
some friends the other night, narrated an
incident of his practice in which Daniel
Drew, then a liking of Wall street,"
figured. Mr.. Drew had been sued by
persons who had been let out at the small
end of the horn by him in stock trans
action. The rugged tinancier was indig-
nant and vicious when he sought the
aforesaid lawyer and requested him to
take the case. The amount for which
the plaintiffs sued was about $50, 200,
and Drew said that he wanted the case
brought into court so that he might
''show up them fellers."
The lawyer made careful investiga-
ton of the facts and found that his client
had scarcely a leg to stand on in court
He was anxious to win the case, how
ever, and determined to see what in
genuity and an exhaustive knowledge of
legal technicalities would accomplish.
Circumstances favored him. and through
carelessness on the other side he succeed
ed in non-sliting the plaintiffs. Elated
with this result he called on Mr.. Drew
and triumphantly announced that vic
tory was theirs.
"But haven't had chance to tes-
tify." said the old speculator peevishly
THAT was not necessary. We have
won the case without trial"
"The deuce you have," exclaimed Mr.
Drew angrily. well, you are fine
lawyer to look after the interests of your
clients. l wouldn't give dollar bunch
for such lawyers as you are"
"You don't seem to understand, Mr..
Drew" explained the lawyer. 1--WE
have won the suit and you are $50 .00(
ahead, to say nothing of the costs"

kOCH,S LYMPH.

WASHINGTON, June DIR. Geddings, of
the Marine hospital service, who has been
conducting the first official test of Koch's
lymph made in this country, has submit
ted his report to the surgeon general OF
the Marine hospital. The test was made
at the Providence hospital. In brief DR..
Geddings reports as follows relative to the
results at which he arrived in the treat
ment of a series of cases ot tubercle OF the
lung, complicated in three instances with
tubercle of the larynx. Number of cases
treated, II; apparently cured, 2; mucn
improved l.; no improvement, 2; worse
under treatment 4, and deaths, 2 In the
treatment of these cases DIR. Geddings has
formulated certain opinions which are IN
substance these:
That Koch's remedy for tuberculosis is
a potent remedy, which should be admin
istered with caution. Necessarily it is not
fitted for use by the general practitioner,
but should only be used in such institu-
tions where its effects can be closely and
attentively watched. In the incipient
stages Of the disease it is beneficial, pro-
viding the tissues have not been softened
or broken down, or the vital forces eX-
hausted by long continued hectic or dis
turbances of digestion and the alimentary
canal. The results in tubercle OF the
larynx are very variable, and are liable to
produce the most distressing and alarming
symptoms.
In such cases where softening has taken
place, or the patient is exhausted, fatal
issued is hastened more or less rapidly by
the exhibition of the remedy. In the
hemorrhagic cases the use of the tubercu-
lin is prejudicial and productive of rapid
and violent harm. The conclusion drawn
from all this is that the remedy is of linn
tied applicability and its general results
disappointing both to physician and pa
tieQt
