Such Distinction Has Been Made Since
the Days Of pltny.
Many stories have been going the
rounds of the daily papers in which the
statement has been freely made that
diamonds have sexes, and that on some
occasions they have been known to re-
produce their kind 1t is needless to
say that this is untrue. 1t is absurd to
say that inanimate objects are so born.

terms male and female might be
used in the diamond trade in a merely

The Oid-Time Pew.

In days of old when much distinc-
ton was had in meeting houses the
spelling of our word pew was pue. In
French it was puye, in Spanish it was
poye. a bench: in Latin it was podiun,
a balcony or elevated place next to the
arena where the emperor sat, and in
Greek it was pous. the foot-and in all
cases where the feet OF the worshiper
rested-a raised place on the floor Of
the church where one might sit or might
stand or might kneel- In Puritan meet
ing houses The choice pews were round
about the walls, one step up. and the
deacons' seats near the pulpit two steps
up, and those OF the ruling elders one
step higher yet In these latter days
the best pews are In the center OF the
church-the wall pews fetch less price

touching that infinitely more important
matter to the financial interests of the
people, the wildcat bank scheme. His
failure to refer to it is taken as an en-

Georgia's state election lakes place to-
day. The Peoples party claim the state
by $4,000, if they can have fair vote
and an honest count. The ''if'' Is put in
as a ready excuse for the defeat the
party is sure to sustain. Some of them
have boldly asserted that there viii be
bloodshed if any bnlldozing or triekery
is attempted by the dominating Democ-
racy, but that is only cheap little bluff.
The bulldozers are old in the business
and are not easily bluffed when the very
existence of their party depends upon
the success of their methods. Republic

bonism in the south we wish them God
speed and success, in the interest of free

RoQUEFoRT AND ITS CHEESE.
The Towns Beauty Has Been Iajured BY
Its Chief Industry.

The Towns Beauty Has Been Injured BY
Its Chief Industry.
Cheese, which has been the fortune
of Roquefort. has destroyed its pictur-
sequences 1t has brought spectators
there who have raised great, ugly,
square buildings of dazzling wilderness
in harsh contrast with the character
and somber tone of the old houses. Al
though the place is so small that it con-
sists of only one street and a few alleys,
the more ancient dwellings are remark
able for their height. 1t is surprising
to see in village lost among the sterile
hills houses three stories high. The
fact that there is only a ledge ON which
to build must be the explanation. What
is most curious in the place is the cell
lars. Before the cheese became an i'm
portant article of commerce these were
natural caverns, such as are everywhere
to be found in this calcareous formation,
but now they are really cellars that
the rock that they are to be seen in as
many as five stages, where long rows of
cheese are stacked one over the other.
The virtue of these cellars, from the
making point of view, is their
dryness and their scarcely varying tenn
perature of about eight degrees cent?
grade summer and winter.
But the demand for Roquefort cheese
has become SO great that trickery now
plays part in the ripening process,
says Temple Bar. The peasants have
learned that time is money" and they
have found that bread crumbs mixed
with the curd causes those green
streaks of moldiness, which denote
that the cheese is fit for the market, to
appear much more readily than was
formerly the case, when it was left to
do the best it could for itself with tho
aid of q subterranean atmosphere. This
is not exactly cheating; it is CONNER
cial enterprise, the result of competition
and other circumstances too strong for
poor human nature. In cheese-making,
bread crumbs are found to be a cheap
substitute for time; and it is said that
those who have taken to beer brewing
in this region have found that box,
which here is the commonest of shrubs
Is cheap substitute for hops The no.
ton that brass pins are stuck into
Roquefort cheese TO make ii turn green
is founded on fiction.

General Snowden, the commander of
the Pennsylvania state militia, claims
responsibility for the arrest of the
Amalgamated Leaders at Homestead on
charge Of treason. There is one DEM
ocrat whose conscience has been quick
ened on the subject of loyalty to govern
ment; but in the doughty generals case
it appears to be matter OF zeal without
discretion. Sach action is what might
have been expected fran an official who
would approve the outrage put upon
Private Iams for an unguarded express
sion made under an impulse. The
Democrats have been taxing their
ingenuity to exort some capital for their
party out of the Homestead trouble and
every attempt they have made has re-
acted on them. This last break of
Snowden's ought to do that party up in
the estimation of organized labor
everywhere.

the fact that many people have said
that they were cured by whisky. You
may depend on it that when man
says he was cured Of rattlesnake bite
he is at least laboring under misap-
prehension of the facts. There is a
small snake similar to the rattlesnake
in appearance, whose poison is not so
venomous, and negroes bitten by it place

whisky to counterfeit the poison.

Gueda Springs Herald: Quite a
change seems to have come over the
Democratic editors Of the bic Seventh.
Two years ago they could not say
enough mean things about Jerry Simp-
son; now they have exhausted their
superlatives in eulogising him. Has
Jerry grown better of the Democratic
journals worse:' The latter, of course:
the other would be impossible. The
worst feature of the Democratic badness
is the dupiicity they are prscticing.
Their professions of friendship for Jerry
and his party is but hollow mockery, and
is being practised simply and solely for
the purpose of holding that following
up to support OF the Weaver electoral
ticket, thereby taking the states vote
away from President Harrison. The
Democratic papers of the state, whether
fusion or anti-fusion, are all carrying
the Weaver ELECTORAL ticket at the head
of their editorial columns, a circum-
stance in proof of our proposition.
