you that you might look for Ulysses s. Grams

OF course he was, OF pretty nearly so. But
the encyclopaedia Britannica doesn't mention

Making Diamonds.

Manchester Times.
The microscopic diamonds recently
made by NJ. Henri Moisson are not the
first real diamonds made by the chemist.
Some years ago, Mr.. Hannay, of Glas-
gov, succeeded in making few small
gems, and another Glasgow chemist not
long ago announced in an American
scientific journal that he was making
experiments in this direction, and had
obtained promising results. Moissan,
however, was the first to form a gem
by means of the high temperature of the
electric furnace, though the idea of do
ing so is not exactly novel, Moissan
obtains temperature of from 5000 to
1000 degrees Centigrade in his elec-
trio crucible, and fuses iron or silver.
which absorbs the carbon of sugar.
When the fused metal cools, part of the
carbon separates from it again in the
form of crystals, black or whitehall is
to say. black diamond, or carbonado,
and ordinary, clear diamond. The crys-
tallization seems to be facilitated by
pressure, which is produced by the ex-
pansion of the sugar carbon as it cools.
The diamond crystals were exceedingly
minute, and quite unfit for jewelry.
Moreover, the process is very expensive.

Mr. Gladstone,s Manners.

Manchester Times.
Most English statesmen have been
either free livers or with touch of bon
vivant in them. But Mr. Gladstone is
a man who has been guilty of no excess
es save, perhaps, in work. He rises at
the same hour every day, uses the same
fairly generous but always carefully
regulated diet, goes to bed about the
same hour, pursues the same round of
work and intellectual and social pleas
ure An extraordinary varied life is ac-
companied by certain rigidity of per-
sonal habit 1 have never seen surpassed
At Hawarden, ,ofIcourse, it is simpler and
more private than in London. In town
to-day Mr.. Gladstone avoids all large
parties and great crushes and gatherings
where he may be expected to be either
mobbed or bored or detained beyond his
ususual bedtime.

change.
an give you IS for it."
"Why, the regular fare is $40, and this
is as good as new ticket" expostulated
the Omaha man.
Eight dollars or keep it," replied the
scalper sententiously.
"Well," said the Nebraskan, with
mournful reluctance, 'you may have it. u
He pocketed the cash and left the
store.
In an hour he rushed breathlessly into
the store.
"Say," he gasped-say, when l sold
you that ticket a few seconds ago
didn't expect to go back to Omaha for a
month. I've got telegram this min
ute summoning me home. I'll take the
ticket back, please. Here's Your eight
dollars"
THE rate of that ticket is S27," re-
piled the scalper placidly, reaching for
the yellow paper slip.
"W -a-tr' shrieked the man from
Omaha aghast, staring blankly into the
scalper's mobile countenance. Great

/ Why, that's only 81 less than the regu-
lar rate for single fare. Why can't
you give me back my ticket for tie
same price that sold it to you? There
it is in your hand. Let me buy it back
at 81 in advance. That's good profit
for keeping it an hour"
Twenty seven dollars or nothing

that made the Omaha man tiguratively
weep.

Sayings of Children.

New lork tribune.
These youthful sayings are sent to The
Tribune by a New England contributor:
Baby had been playing with a big
aster blossC m, and the floor was strewn
with the purple petals. Six-year old
Ted-the punster of the family-stood
regarding the ruin, with his hands be-
hind him and a wise countenance
"Hoh!" he said. Il don't call that an as
ter. That's dis -aster."
Roy's little brother is several years
his SCI ior and much admired by the lit
tie fellow. He initiates him on all oc-
caslons, counting it his highest pleasure
to "do like Willis" One day Roy heard
his brother singing 81 am so glad that
Jesus loves me-even me-" Straight
way the little imitator struck up his own
tune, making rather startling applica-
toni am So glad that Jesus loves
Willis-even Willis"
Elsie's wee boy cousin is as mischiev-
GUS baby as ever trotted about the
house with ruin in his wake The whole
family is kept on the alert to protect the
household lares and penates. A day or
two ago Elsie's mother took up the pa
per and commenced upon bold burgla-
ry in the neighborhood.
whats burg g-er-lar?" Miss Elsie
inquired, and mamma answered: "Why,
somebody that takes what doesn't be-
long to him, dear--see?"
."Oh, yes" the little lady answered,
nodding her head wisely, II see-and
Dicky's burg er-l lar, mamma"
A Unitarian minister's son had long
set his small heart upon owning a BIZ
cycle. His papa told him to ask God
for one, which the little supple Mt pro-
ceeded to do with much zeal and faith.
That night his papa and mamma bought
the coveted machine and placed it close
beside the little fellows crib. Next
moring they listened at the door to hear
what their son and hei, would say. the
blue eyes opened and became instantly
aware of the bicycle. Out Of bed hop
ped the boy, exclaiming ruefully, "Good
gracious, God! don't you know the diff
ference between bicycle and "a tri-
cycle?"

A Precise Brakeman.

Providence Journal.
Among the employees of the COnsoli-
dated Railroad is recent acquisition
whose ultimate ambition is the ticket
punch and rebate check, but who at
present officiates as an auxiliary to the
air pump in the engine, which retards
the progress of the train when stop is
desired. On his first trip a few days ago,
the conductor in charge of the train
promised to initiate the neophyte into
another phase of the brakeman's
duties, namely, the announcing of sta
tiOns. The instructions of the conduct
or were couched as follows: when |
say the name of a station from one end
of the car, you say the same at the other
end" This appeared to cover the
ground, and the brakeman intimated
that he was dead on the act" or words
to that effect.
The train was Providence bound, and
as it reached the ambitious city of polo
and politics the conductor and brake
man stationed themselves at either end
of car and proposed to inform the oc
cupants exactly where they were at.
"Pawtucket - Pawtucket," calculated
the conductor, but scarcely were the
words uttered when "Same at this end
Same at this end" came in stentorian
tones from the precise brakeman at the
other door.

Feeding Visitors at the Worlds Fair

Feeding Visitors at the Worlds Fair.
Chicago Journal.
This dining groom in the Agricultural
Building will be seated for LOCO, and it
is expected to supply the wants of TO-,
600 people weekly.
Estimates are proverbially uncertain
and the Worlds Fair figures are per
haps as difficult to handle as any, but as
nearly as President Gage can calculate
the catering company will be called
upon to feed an average of 10000 peo-
pie day To do this will require ia
I bles seating l2OO0 and lunch counters
/ for 1000 more: assuming five changes
/ to each seat, these will suffice for the
! big crowd. Ii is no small matter TO
guess about; but the estimates do not
stop there. Mr. Gage has placed few
orders for material to keep the digestive
organs of his host of guests in good or
| der He has made contract for 300
| tons of coffee, in the belief that 10000,
coo cups of that beverage will be de-
manded, and 10000 cups and saucers

partially. For every day that the fair
is open he will require 10000 pounds of
dressed beef from a Stock Yard firm
and two and one half tons of hams for
his sandwiches, to say nothing of sixty
barrels of flour for the bakery establish
ment, and other things in proportion.
The restaurant of restaurants will be
in the Administration Building. There
! the cook will be an artist of the Paris
ian school and the table appointments
of the finest To that choice spot. only
the few who can not exist without their
.s'Delmonico" will betake themselves,
and the bill will be as long as the menu.
Others will rank in the first class, but
the Administration Restaurant must be
the premier eating place of the Fair. for
Mr.. Gage will feel that the eyes of the
world are on him in Architect Hunts
noble structure.
More than half the dining rooms un-
der the Wellington COmpany's manage
ment will be ranked in the popular"
class, places where man can eat with
out running either his pocket or his di-
gestion. The lunch cOuntt rs will afford
sustenance for those who do not care to
face the possibilities of bill of fare.

The Change of Inauguration Day.
Harper's Weekly.
There are grave political reasons why
the new administration should enter
upon the discharge of its functions soon
after the people has chosen it. These
reasons are potent against the further
postponement of Inauguration day to
the 30th of April; but unless the present
system is to be radically changed for the
purpose of giving immediate effect to
the decision of the people, there should
be this postponement. If the President
is not to be inaugurated within few
weeks of his election, pOStponement
of six months instead of four does MT
matter much. 1t would be better to
save few lives and much suffering, and
the dangerous exposure of the President
himself, even if the Office seekers are
obliged to wait two months for the
qualification or disappointment of their
desires.
If this is not practicable or feasible,
then Inauguration should be a simple
oath taking within doors. Perhaps this
would be the best in any event, for
Washington pageantry is of the crudest.
At present Inauguration day is day
of barbarities.

Peculiar Insurance Claim.

Chicago Inter-0eean.
One of the companies doing lorna
do business some time ago received a
notice of loss of horse, for which the
assured demanded immediate payment.
While going through the customary
formula regarding the death of the ami
NAL, and wondering that windstorm did
no damage but kill one horse, the com
pany inquired in what manner the kill
ing occurred. The assured at once
wrote back that his horse had died of
wind collie, and that he wanted his pay
at once to buy another. This peculiar
state of affairs leads to suggestion to
companies doing tornado and wind
storm business, that it might be well to
insert clause similar to those applied
to electric plants lin such cases referring
to electricity, of course), reading as fol
lows: 1T is hereby understood that this
company is not liable for wind gener-
ated in the property insured"
