The Bird Did Not Fall.

People who were walking along a
San Francisco street not long ago sud-
denly heard piercing cries from the
upper story OF lodging-house. A
woman was leaning from q window,
and for moment it was thought that
some brute was trying to throw her
out. A second look, however, showed
that she held in her hand u bird cage.
She had been hanging it out of the
window TO give her bird the sun, when
the bottom dropped out, The startled
bird was fluttering about the top of its
prison, and the woman was screaming.
"Oh, he'll fall! My poor little birdiep'
This was only for a moment With
great presence OF mind she turned the
cage upside down, 30 that her pet
could not drop out and be dashed upon
the cruel pavement. And the captive
went sailing away over the tops OF the
buildings, For some reason he did moi
fall. San Francisco Post

STATISTICS ABOUT DIAMONDS.
Industry of Cutting the stones Is ihcreA''
ing In America

industry OF IulllhS tuO $780,
ing in America
There are perhaps 5000 dealers in
diamonds in the the world who carry
in their stock stones worth perhaps
$3.50 900, 900. The remainder are IN the
hands of private individuals
There is always something fascinat,
inc about the subject Of diamonds, ana
rich and poor like to read about pre-
cious stones. 1t is estimated that our-
inc the last twenty-five years the
American people have paid duty on al
least $50, 100000 worth of diamonds
and other precious stones In 1898
alone they imported SIS, 2O3, 565 worth
but in 1884 there was falling OIL
owing to hard times, and the total was
only S4, ,856,9 9S5. -,
This does not include uncut dla'
monds, of which we imported more
that 81, oOO 900 in 1892, $500, 900 worth IN
1898, and SIS, CSC, 267 worth in 1894 Dur
ing the last twenty-five years we nave
imported 81. OS7, SIT worth OF uncut dla-
monds. In 1880 we imported only Sl%9,-
900 worth of uncut diamonds, and IN
1889 only S25O,OOO worth. The large
increase of late has been due to the
fact that number Of American jewel
ers have opened diamond-cuttlng
establishments. There are now fifteen
establishments in the United States
which employ from one to twenty
men.
There are 1000 manufacturers IN
Europe and about 200 in the United
States, who employ between 1000 and
5000 persons as cutters and polishers'
Perhaps 2S, 900 people are employed in
the diamond mines throughout the
world. We read that in past centuries
GO, 900 people were working in some SIN
gle Indian mines at one time, and per
haps that statement was not exagger'
ated, since by the aid of modern ma
chinery one miner can now accomplish
as much as twenty who used the prim
tive methods. The total value OF al
the diamonds in the world undoubtedly
exceeds 81, 1,OOO,OOO,OOO.
During the last quarter century ter
tons of diamonds, selling for more thar
$500, 900, 900 uncut, and 6OO,OOO,O 900 aft
er cutting, have been added to the
worlds wealth-an amount more thar
twice as great as the value of dia
monds known to exist before. Thi
vast value is in the most concentrated
portable, and ornamental form, ant
more convertible than anything excep
gold and silver. Its accumulation ha
built up cities like Kimberly, ant
maintained important industries il
Amsterdam and other centers.-Jew

Herbert Savin, rode up to the Roberts
carriage at gallop and nearly flung
himself from the saddle in order to
grasp the extended hand of the girl
sitting there.
Herbert caught the words: "Nellie,
darling" in an incredulous, but most
loving tone, and a pang of jealous anger
disturbed him, albeit he called her the
next moment "Adventuress" between
his set teeth, and then there were sud-
den cries, the mad rush Of frightened
horses, and the carriage in which the
girl was composedly sitting was
whirled away at breakneck run.
Herbert spurred his horse at a pace
that equaled that of the runaways, and
at the same moment mounted police
man dashed off in pursuit, and the team
was stopped before any harm was done,
but Herbert had the inexplicable cha
grin of seeing Gould Lorraine clasp the
form of the frightened girl to his heart
| anu neaTlnS MIN say!
THANK God, Nellie, you were not
hurtl"
Gould, dear, was looking for you;
that is the reason | came to the park"
she answered, returning his caress
Gloomy as stone pillar, Herbert
stood, trying later to soothe Mrs. Dan
iels and help her adjust the baby, when
he found his faculties.
But 1t was Gould Lorraine who was
the astonished person now.
"When did you come? What are you
doing in that carriage? Why did you
not come home?"
Those were the questions the young
man asked, and ut each one the intonn-
ton in his voice grew stronger and
more indignant.
"You know, | met Alice Savin-Nfrs.
Roberts--abroad after our school
days" said Nellie, in response to her
brothers questions. 81 chanced to visit
the same friends on the way home, and
she asked me, or, rather, ] offered, to
bring the baby she had adopted home
with me, and left the maid to come with
her. ! had no idea her brother was nj
home; she did not speak Of him to me-
So this was the charming, accom-
plished friend Of his 81 r Eleanor
Lorraine, whom he had never chonccd
TO meet, A more complete discom-
tituro could not have been planned,
But Nll's well that ends well, The
timely arrival of Mrs, Roberts with the
genuine nursemaid relieved Miss Lor-
roine of any further responsibility,
and in due time Herbert WINS forgiven.
And neither Of them ever knew that
unpleasant experience was one Of the
deep-laid schemes Of that "erratic" Mrs.
Robertsto bring her dcnr friend and her
bachelor brother together.-Detroit
