A NATIONAL AIR.
What the Country Yearns to Hear
Some One Compose.

The necessity for national air that
has not been either borrowed or stolen
was very clearly apparent during the
naval rendezvous at Hampton Roads
and the subsequent ceremonies in New
York. In those places, if never before,
the chilly conviction struck many a
heart, ana there was hourly emphasis of
our poverty and musical dishonesty.
When the band on one of the British
ships played" God save the Queen" a
young lady visitor was delighted with
what she thought was an international
compliment,f for she imagined the bands
men we're playing America" She
was not alone in her error; hundreds of
others then in that vicinity did not know
that our greatest of patriotic hymns is
sung TO stolen tune, and that tune the
most rOyalistic of all airs.
There was similar misunderstanding
AS to other melodies. They're playing
Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean, "said
a soldier who from the wharf was listen
ing to the Blake's band. His guess was
wrong. They were playing britannia,
tue Gem of the Ocean," but he was
only one of millions who are not aware
of the fact that both words and music
of that song were lifted bodily across
the Atlantic. and that somewhere on
the way the word "COlumba'' was sub
stituted for britannia" Perhaps
1.-The Star-Spangied Banner'' came
nearer To being generally recognized as
our own than any of the other tunes;
but foreign musicians did nothing mex
cusable when they discussed among
themselves the indisputable fact that
the words only are American-that the
air is an old English production.

The Windy City Claims to Be a

Chicago" said diamond expert, sis
soon to be the greatest diamond market
IN the world, because Chicago is today
the largest retail market, and whole
sale dealers must follow the set of the
current. Nearly S2,00O,OO0 worth of
diamonds were sold here last year.
lt is saying in Europe that lady
without title does not wear them, but
here everybody wears them. They do
not indicate great wealth-merely taste
for that kind of jewelry. Before the
PrusSian siege Paris was the center of
the trade. just now London is. The
best diamonds sold ARE from broken sets
IN Europe, from Brazil, and few select
ed stones from Africa. Twenty-Five
million dollars worth of rough diamonds
were found in South Africa last year.

some very Interesting stories if bust
ness integrity did not prevent me. |
Know Chicago lady who wears a $780,
GOO necklace, and could tell you anec-
doteS connected with diamond pur-
chases that prove choice morSelS for the
goSSIp5 of the clubs. Those only who
love diamonds can appreciate the singu
lar fascination they possess. Ladies
wear more than half the diamonds, yet
more gentlemen veal diamonds than
ladies'. Ladies who wear them wear
them in sets. Gentlemen seldom wear
them more than TWO or three. The
features of lady's jaWelry now, how
ever, are solitaire earrings. Rings are
worn on almost all of the fingers.
The feature of American diamond
wear as contrasted with that of Europe
is the great excess of diamonds over
other gems. Let me tell you, by the
way, that representative of one of the
more prominent diamond houses of Chi
cago. who is just home from Europe,
and who had a peculiarly good OppOr-
unity to see the shah's diamonds, says
that, Notwithstanding the magnificence
suggested by their profuslon, they are
all oft COLOR low grade stones. Not
one of them would be considered a
gem in Chicago. This inferiority is
said to be a characteristic of Oriental
stones, whose reputation depends rather
on the stories told than on careful Sc
lection or the skill of the lapidarlans."

WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE

Extremes to Which Professional
Etiquette Sometimes Carries.
Boston Advertiser.
Within the present week, in this CITY,
occurred an incident that is typical of
the extreme to which professional eti-,
Quette may be carried. A patient lay ill
of raging fever, whose progress. APP
parently, had not been prevented or
mitigated by the remedies prescribed by
the doctor Tin charge" of the case.
That doctor was not entirely satisfac-
tory to the patient. and was even dis
tasteful to the latter, but had been
called in because he happened to be
near at hand. The sick man protested
sir ng y against the continuance of the
seen..hZ!y useless treatment, and in
sisted that the family physician should.
be called. In a spirit of courtesy the
attending physician was told of the
facts and of the wish of the patient.
The family doctor was summoned and
was met by the attending physician.
The two doctors had private consul
tarlOn, and as a result the attending
physician announced that he would re
main in CHARGE" despite the objections
of the patient and the family, despite
the knowledge that his every visit so
irritated and eXasperated the patient
as to Increase the fever of the helpless
but thoroughly indignant victim.
The family then made an almost pite-
Gus appeal to the family physician to
visit the patient, whose condition was
such as to occasion great alarm and the
most depressing fears; but the reply
was made that no reputable physician
in Massachusetts would SO imperil his
standing under the rules which govern
physicians as to attend patient SO long.

his consent

His ulster fitted as tight as his skin,

And he looked SO well bred,

"'Twould be sad should any mishap
Entrap
Such stylish-appearingy young chap"
he strolled for an hour through the five acre
lot
And twisted his head around,
Till he had bad pain
At the base of his brain;
Sut his courage came up with bound
When he found
His shadow lay stretched on the ground
Then homeward ne hastened and opened the

His shadow went too, suppose;
He got into bed,
And covered his head,
And remarked as he tucked up his toes

illustrations of number of children's
frockS in the belief that they will at

For a Girl of Twelve.
One of our illustrations shows a very
pretty frock designed for a girl of
twelve years old. 1t is made of red
crepon, adorned with entredeuX of
guIpure. The skirt is gathered, as also
the corSage, which is of the same
material and enhanced deep reverS fall

with two entredeuX of guiplre. The
sleeves are Of red Surah, full to the
wrists, where thew fit tightly. The
straw hat worn with this trock has a
bent brim. The trimmings are flowers
and foliage.
Another charming frock for a girl of
about the same age is likewise made of
red crepOn, which, by the way, is in
high favor with mothers just now. 1t is
made somewhat similar to that de-
scribed above, save that instead of surah
and guipure red satin is used.
