FAKIR'S GLASS DIAMONDS.
A Process That Turned Out to Be
Practical Temperance Lesson.

A Process That Turned Out to Be q
Practical Temperance Lesson.
There was a new face among the
fakirs on the water front the other
morning, the face of man who made
diamonds, rubies and other brilliants
out of old glass bottles. The color of
the bottles seemed to be the factor
that determined the nature of the
stone. The implements were a small
hammer, little polishing wheel and
couple of boxes that contained a
powder, says the San Francisco Ex-
aminer.
The fakir had a radiant portable
stand somewhat larger than the con-
trlvance thata scissors grinder carries,
and at that he did a thriving business.
Water front glassware was sacrificed
for diamonds, the accompanying sacri-
fee of silver varying with the size of
the finished product. Glass nuggets as
big as the Kohinoor, and quite as bril-
liant as the sun, were placed within
the reach of the multitude at fifty
cents, and modest-sized diamond.
big enough for a water front engage
ment ring, could be bought for twenty
cents.
Through the crowd an old man
pushed his way. Here's bottle!'' he
exclaimed. ''Break that up into rubies
for me-"
"No rubies in that" replied the
fal1ir. Its a diamond bottle"
Diamonds, them shouted the old
man. Break it anyhow! I've carried
that same bottle for twenty wears
back, an many's the diamond an ruby
it's cost me. Break it up an keep the
diamonds for your troubler'

DASHING A DUDE.
A Washer Who Could Not Stand a Girl
with a Sketch Book.

A Masher Who Could Not Stand a Girl
with a Sketch Book.
Three decidedly attractive girls got
on a Sixth avenue elevated train and
Immediately score of masculine eyes
were levcled at them, says the New
York Advertiser. The girls found seats
together and tried to appear uncon-
cerned and quite oblivious to the pro-
nOunced advances for filtration from
two young swells who sat opposite.
But all their efforts to appear at ease
were unavailing. The young men per-
sisted and the girls blushed and looked
uncomfortable.
Finally one of the girls opened a
small sketch book on her lap, and then
raising her eyes she gazed straight at
her admirer opposite. He petted his
mustache and smiled. She made a few
strokes with her pencil in the sketch
book, but did not smile When she
raised her eyes again he realized that
she was sketching him. The other two
girls watched the progress of the
sketch and giggled. This, with the
smiles of the other passengers was
more than the subject of the sketch
could endure. He crossed and re-
crossed his legs, pulled his hat down
until 1t touched his nose, and at last
rushed desperately into the next car.
When he had gone the girls closed the
unsoiled pages of the sketch book and
laughingly threw away the bit of pen-
Gil, which, when picked up by another,
proved to be quite devoid of lead.

alert you raise yourself to listen. The
call comes nearer, and is taken up and

are convinced it is the cry of alarm

the village is astir, the people rushing
hlther and thither, seeking to find
safety IN the thickest bush-a mother
calling for her children, or child for
mother, but unable to find each other
because of the alarm and scare which
have separated them.
You spend wakeful and watchful
night, not knowing where the enemy
may be. nor where his attack may take
place. After long, anxious, weary
hours you are thankful to notice the
nrst gllmmer of dawn showing itself
In the east. A dangerous hour passes
Dy and the enemy who has been ex-
pected- is not seen; but later on you
see smoke rising from a village mile
away, and in the course of a few hours
you may see men, women and children

INVITED TO HER SUICIDE.
A Chinese Woman Calls in Her Friends
to Witness Her .Adieu.

Mr.. Medhurst, for many years british
consul at Shanghai, tells of singular
.scard of invitation" which, says the
Million, he once received in China. it
was from lady, intimating her inten-
ton to commit suicide at specified
date She was very young and attrac-
tive, and belonged to a wealthy family;
but the Chinese gentleman to whom
she had been affianced from childhood,
having died just before the date fixed
upon for their nuptials, she gave out
that she deemed it her duty to render
her widowhood irrevocable by dying
with her betrothed. So she sent cards
around to the local gentry giving no
tice of her purpose.
No attempt was made by her rela-
tfves or the local authorities to frus-
trate her design, though Mr.. Medhurst
appealed to the mandarins, the gen
eral opinion being that she was about
to perform a meritOriOus act. Eventu-
ally, on the day named, the woman did
deliberately sacrifice her life in the
presence of thousands of spectators.
A stage was erected in the open fields,

One end of this slip she fastened round
her neck, and then, embracing little
boy presented by one of the bystanders,
she mounted a chair and resolutely
jumped off, cher little clasped hands
saluting the assemblage as her body
twirled round with the tightening
cord"
The woman was not bounded on by
a frantic mob, as was the practice at
suttees in India, but immolation ap-
peared to be an entirely voluntary act.
Sacrifices of this kind, according to
Mr.. Medhurst, are not uncommon in
certain districts of China, and, strange
to say, they are rewarded with monu

KING UMTASSA.
An Ebony POtentate who Had q Right
ROYAL Thirst of His Own.


/ have just proited by holiday to
pay visit to Chief Umtassa, or,
rather, the Kinglet Umtassa, as the
official dispatches call him, says a
writer in South Africa. The country
belongs to him and the chartered com
pany gives him yearly present of one
hundred dollars, and this one hundred
dollars and this present was just due.
1t is almost impossible to geta glimpse
of Umtassa, partly because he is such
a very important person-in his own
eyes-but chiefly because his life has
only three phases-going to drink.
drinking and being very drunk indeed.
We were shown into reception
hut" into which we crawled almost
upon our hands and knees, and we
seated ourselves on mats, prepared to
wait an indefinite time-for the ''chic"
of native chief, like that of a smart
dentist, is to keep one waiting as long
as possible. After about half an hour
we began to clamor and then we left
the hut and began to wander about the
kraal-a proceeding which the natives
generally objected to, and before we
had gone far an induna came to say
that Umtassa was coming and had sent
a present of Kafir beer. So we
scrambled back and sat outside the
stuffy hut and waited.
At last a sort of procession came
winding down among the rocks, some
of the natives wearing snuff-box and
a catskin, others draped in blanket
la julius Caesar, but none of them
carrying any sort of weapon with the
exception of a big native, who carried
Umtassa's knobkerrie and his battle
ak. After this usher of the Black Rod
came Umtassa, draped in blue and
white toga, with a blue and white cap
on his head.
Much to our surprise, he turned out
to be very imposing-looking person
age. In spite of his excessive dirt ne de-
cidedly possesses what is called lie
grand air, which take to be produced
by complete satisfaction with ones
surroundings and not a little contempt
for the rest Of the world. Well, our
friend Umtassa gave each of us a very
grimy hand to shake and really one
might have planted mealie field under
each of his hands. He then sat down
on his mat, with all his people grouped
around him and his induna told our
interpreter that he might speak.
Thereupon a good deal of business was
transacted.

Crime and immortality,

The international pickpoclset art is,
in Europe at least, almost entirely car
ried on by Roumanians, Servians, Bull
garians, Russians and Galicians. They
outrank in cleverness by far the once
world-famous English and American
professionals in that line. The in
crease in all civilized lands of crimes
against morality, religion, public peace
and the government is mostly due to
the socialistic wave which permeates
all classes. While crimes and Grim
inals will always exist as long as the
world lasts, the next few centuries in
their onward march of education and
civilization will bring about marked
decrease, and the criminal statistics
and annals of the present time will
read like fables to the people of that
remote future.

Mines Under the Sea.

We have all heard about the British
coal and iron mines, the galleries of
which extend far out under the Allan
tic ocean, but there are perhaps very
few Americans who know that the
most extensive under-ocean mining
operations in the world are carried on
along the Pacific coast of this CONT
nent. At Nanaimo, British Columbia.
there is coal mine the shaft of which
extends several hundred feet below
the ocean bed at that point. All the
galleries of the mine, aggregating
something like twelve miles in length,
are entirely under the ocean.

London,s First Police.

The London police grew out of the
night watchmen established in the
metropolis by Henry Ill in 1858, an
order of things which continued down
to the first quarter of the present cen
fury. Many persons still living can
recollect the antiqnated individuals
who did duty in that force in the early
days of the century, and whose chief
duty appeared to be to disturb the
nights rest by calling ont at each
hour the time and state of the weather.
