TO puncture the bubble which the Maiden
Lane diamond merchants have blown In
their efforts to transfer the great cut

land to this country, with headquarters
in New York city.
The scheme now turns out TO have been
brilliant dream, and has resulted in
more lUss and disappointment than did a
similar attempt which was made in 1882
and 1883.
The strike of the diamond cleavers cut
ters polisliers and settlers, which began ON
November 1 1, and is now practically ended,
was for a decrease in hours of work and an
increase of 25 per cent. In wages, which
had fallen so low in response 10 the influx Of
workmen from abroad that good polishers
were only able to make $12 or S14 a week
even by putting In eleven hours daily.
The members of the three unions involved,
located in this city, Brooklyn. and Newark,
were mainly recent arrivals in America.
The census of 1890 showed that there
were sixteen diamond works, or mills, as
they are sometimes called, In this State,
and 156 men were employed. In Boston
there were three shops employing eleven
men, and nowhere else in the United States
was the industry carried on. Up to the
summer of 1894 there was practically no
change In the census figures, but when the

KNOWING PEACOCK.
Bird Initiates His Mistress and Also
Watches Over Chickens.

A Mrs. Harris, living on q small farm
In the outskirts OF Hamilton, has q hand
some peacock named Jupiter. Having no
children, she has made quite q pet of Jupi-
ter, and he is in the habit of following her
about the yard and farm Being on the
slope of the mountain, il has been found
necessary to terrace the place, and Mrs. Har-
ris herself assisted materially in the work
of terracing the front yard by collecting
rock and piling 1t up in convenient places
ready for use.
One day, while sewing on the front porch,
she observed Jupiter maiesticaily pacing
to and fro, apparently carrying something
in his mouth; after watching for some time
she went out and found that he had collected
quite pile of pebbles, OF which perform
ance he was obviously proud, spreading his
all and strutting about cluckin2 his salts

On another occasion, hearing a greatnoiss
and cacxling in the barn-yard, she ran out
to find Jupiter trying with all his might
and main to drive the hens with their broods
into their respective coops; 1t was cloudy.

Victoria, B. c., Nov. 27.-If the owners of
the sixty odd sealing schoOners, which
make Victoria their headquarters, stick
to the resolution which they passed at q
meeting held last evening, not one of the
.schooners Will leave port until August next
year. The resolution, which was unani-

That owing to the poor result of the
spring voyages, thesealing fleetdefer opera

All the prominent sealers were present
and they state that they will adhere to the
resolution. Last spring thirty-two Victo-
ria schooners operated on the west coast
of the island and took 6,OO0 skins. About
twenty-five schooners hunted off the Japan
coast and at Copper Island, getting a total
catch of % 900 skins.
These voyages, according to the resolu-
ton, will be entirely done away with next
season, the schooners confining their opera

colored silk, combined with brown vel vet and lace The front is of silk, draped on either side with guipure, which is confined with the rest of the blouse underneath an embroidered girdle. The collar is brown velvet, with rosette on each side. At the hips, just below the waist, are couple of loops of velvet which stand out at a fetching angle. The sleeves are very full, being run with several rows of shirring at the top to give the flat effect necessary at the top of the sleeve, and the lower sleeves are of lace. The hat is of roses and violets, trimmed with tall loops of striped rose and brown ribbon.
 The other blouse is made of change able red and blue silk It is shirred in several rows around the neck below the collar. Strips of marten run from the collar down to the velvet girdle where the finish is the little heads that seem to hold the girdle in their little teeth. For warmer weather this fur may be replaced by bands and rosettes of red velvet. The sleeves are trimmed
 
 hang from one side of the girdle. The hat is blue straw trimmed with loops of blue ribbon and Martha Washington geraniums.
 pretty style of blouse for ordinary wear is of steel gray silk with line of purple showing indistinctly all through it. The front has a double box plait with three fancy steel buttons set on at intervals of about three inches. Pur- pie velvet pipings and rosettes form the trimming.
 Dresses for indoor wear are trimmed with usually the wide founces sewed around the turn-down collar and on the sleeves. A pretty indoor gown for morning is made of rose-colored crepe. The back is made with Wat

early summer the tea table is placed there and under the vine-covered arI bors, with the scent of the roses in the air, tea is dispensed.
 From the tea-rootn, little later on, strolled into the reading-room. It is filled with all that makes a library de- sirable. The long table in the center of the room contained magazines and newspapers, and, as I looked about, the various pictures of the girl students in Paris impressed me strongly. A bright, blue-eyed girl was laughing merrily over "Life;" not far away an- other was showing to her roommate a paper which contained one of her illus trations.
 ''The first," she said, as she held the sheet close to her; think of it. It means so much to me"
 A girl on couch in one corner was resting as she lazily turned the pages of new book on art, and at the writ ing-table near the window home let ters were being written by various groups.
 A bulletin contained announcements of church services, dressmakers and sales of students furniture.
 'The dining-room is next" said my sweet-faced guide, as we left the stu dents and went to the table d'hote con- nected with the club, for one may dine that way or in the restaurant in the same building D la carte. "Will you look at a menu?" she said, and then in French ordered the red-cheeked maid to bring one.
 It was a well planned dinner for thirty-five cents "How pretty it all isl" I cried, as I looked at the carved

out on each side. A bit of lace wired into flat piece about the size of the palm of ones hand makes crown and bow of black velvet at the back with bit of lace or bright chiffon and bunch of roses or violets, makes a very respectable hat, as hats go nowa- days. A jet band for basis of opera tions to simulate crown makes a hat when adorned with a velvet bow and some roses at the back. just in front of the high Psyche knot.
 Everything in the dress line is made with a round waist. 1t would be diff cult to fit basque over the godet plaits which are necessity in all skirts. One jacket which solves the difficulty has slight point in front, is short on the sides and has short coat tails in the back, but it isn't pretty. A new outside jacket, which is to be made purposely to wear over a blouse, is made waist length. The upper part is yoke of fancy embroidery, and to this the lower part is fastened, being laid in box plaits. It is an odd-looking jacket, and is one of the results of the attempts to devise a wrap to take the place of the long-used cape. No ordi- nary coat will button over such pair of blouses as are shown in the illustra- tion.
 One of these waists is made of rose

the West Chester State Normal school, while Secretary Edwin P. Lyon is from the Anderson Normal school of gym nastics. The council of the association will be present, likewise This council includes Dr. Edward Hitchcock, of Am herst; Dr. D. A. Sargent, of Harvard; Dr. E. M. Hartweu, of the Boston pub lie schools; Dr. H. E. Arnold, of New Haven, and Dr. Eliza M. Mosher, of Brooklyn. "
 As for the universities interested, they include nearly all the best-known institutions in the country. The new University of Chicago, the Leland Stanford university, Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Brown are all well rep resented. The difficulty in the way of prescribed course of physical educa- tion, to be uniform throughout these scattered institutions, long felt and heretofore almost irremediable, is to be overcome by the conference by means of a new plan hit upon by the council. The changes proposed look toward the establishment of districts or sections for local meetings, with a grand na- tional meeting once every leap year. Each section is to have headquarters in some city, where it's state meetings are to be held. Boston, New York, Gin cinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, New Or leans and San Francisco are proposed as centers of various sections.
 The speakers at the conference will be men prominent in the cause of phy- sical education, not merely as instruct ors, but as friends of the cause. First, and probably most notable among them all, is Prof. J. w. Seavers, who for years has been unremitting in his efforts to put scientific physical train ing in American institutions of learning on footing commensurate with its inn portance. The doctors success in this is the more gratifying, as for a long time the prejudice against the work was widespread and deep-rooted. Lat terly, moreover, workers in the cause of scientific physical training have had to contend with misunderstandinps arising from excess in mere college sports and athletics. These pastimes have been copfounded with the train ing which the association seeks to main tain, greatly to the embarrassment of the cause. One of the subjects to be considered will have reference to this matter of college sports. No doubt is entertained of the establishment ulti- mately of a modus vivendi between these branches of undergraduate ath- letic activity.
 Quite number of prominent educa- tors are to become members of the asso- ciation. They arc largely instructors in American colleges, and their labor will be in the line of the organiza tions s new work in the formation of sections for

 .sThe club was started, you see," con- tinued Miss Taylor, as she leaned back in a great rocker and swayed to and fro, ssby the late " w. Newell and his wife, who for many years lived here among the students and realized the necessity for some such place for the American girl over here, to complete her education, whether in music or painting. Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, through Mrs. Newell, became interested in the plan and assumed the entire expense of the club. It was then a small af- fair consisting of reading and tea rooms where every afternoon tea was served and where the girls of the Amer ican colony gathered together for an hour to read the latest magazines, to write letters and enjoy the sense of comfort and companionship such q place brought
 Next came the restaurant, and then the clubhouse. This was two years ago. Mrs. Whitelaw Reid made her self responsible for the rent and taxes and the business affairs are controlled by a committee of ladies living in Paris

 Are only students living in the club admitted to the restaurant?' queried.
 'Oh, no, the restaurant is open to all who wish to avail themselves of the op- portunity of obtaining wholesome food at reasonable rates. Married women are not admitted to the club as lodgers, but they have access 70 the reading room and restaurant"
 The success of the sale of pictures at the exhibition has been more than the committee ever hoped for, and it goes to prove that the American woman's work in Paris finds it's market readily. I heard stray bits of gossip about the German" to take place, the architects ball and the fancy dress party that had just occurred among the girl stu- dents, for jollity reigns here mingling itself with serious and earnest work.

 Children's clothes are nearly all em- pire style. A few have blouses, but these are not pretty for very small children. A pretty dress for spring for child of seven or eight, is made of a blue and white striped material with 8 yoke of white. The material is gath cred to the yoke and headed with strips of blue and white braid. The skirt is also banded with braid. Over the shoulder epaulets of white are trimmed similarly to the yoke.

physical education. The reports of the three committees will likewise have an exceptional interest. One of these is on anthropometry and vital statistics. an- other deals with the biblography of physical education, and the third deals with all matters relating to the prac- tical side of physical education, the ex- tension of the work, new views of physical training, new apparatus, build ing, appliances and the like
 An important feature of the exercises will be presented on the day following the opening of the meeting This will comprise an exhibition of gymnastic work by the schools and societies in and about New York The exercises will include pretty nearly everything in the line of scientific physical education, and dozens of young people are to par ticipate.
 Even those educators whose work is not directly in line with physical train ing are much interested in the gather ing. Seth Low, president of Columbia, looks upon the work to be performed by the assembling professors as of the first importance. He has long watched the growth of the associations infiu- ence with sympathetic attention, and is particularly partial to the idea of sections in all parts of the country. The late Dr. McCosh, of Princeton, was always an advocate of plans along the l line of those which the association is trying to carry out.
 The west, too, has responded with alacrity to the overtures of this or ganization Such well-known educators as President M E. Gates, of Amherst; President Egbert B. Smyth, of Andover theological seminary; President Robert B. Fulton, of the University of Missis- sippi; Prof. Richard T. Ely, of the l University of Wisconsin; President L.. J. Burrill, of the University of Illinois; President William F. Mcdowell, of the l University of Denver, and others of equal eminence, have been encouraging the associations membership to con- tinue the work. When the contem- plated sections are established and that will be in the course of compara- lively few months, there will not be an institution of learning in the land with out it's adequate provision in the way of athletics
 The equalization of facilities for physical training thus attained vii, greatly aid in placing all the colleges and universities on common plane in the athletic field. Heretofore some have felt the ill-effects of discrimina- tion. Just as Yale and Harvard, the great universities. have been avoided

As l hurried through the narrow streets and inquired my way from littleigamins who answered in their sweet pattering French, found myself before large rambling looking building with great gates. I entered through stone courtyard from which l caught glimpse of sunny garden at the back of the club.

 No, but the club is flooded with let ters from all over the United States ask
