The lnll between the holiday season and
Lent gave the society folk an opportunity
10 rest during the past week. but from
now on until the season for fasting and
prayer gay times viii undoubtedly be
held. Outside OF the regular meetings Of
the different ladies' societies and clubs.
and those OF the whist and century clubs
tneFe was but little TO chronicle. This
inactivity among society people was COM
mented upon by several visitors from
Eastern states. who happened 10 visit the
city since the advent OF the new year
why" said one of them. with the cul-
ture the city contains and the numerous
handsome. imposing homes. I should think
Seattle would lead the West in lis enter
tanning qualifications But then, I sup
pose, times are as hard here as elsewhere,
and l know x takes money 10 keep up
appearances and entertain as one should"
There has, however, been a great deal
OF pleasure derived during the week from
the installation ceremonies Of the various
secret societies IL the city. Dancing and
eollaaons formed part OF nearly all Of
these affairs. and Il Is needless 70 say
each one was not lacking IN numbers. The
glad words Surprise; surprise must
have been sounded frequently during the
week, as there was no end 10 surprise par
ties The Chrysanthenum Club which
gave so many delightful parties during
1885, was reorganized during the week
and VIII give its first party on Wednes-
day evening OF this week. Possibly the
most enjoyable OF all the affairs was the
reception accorded number OF the young
society people by the wardroom officers
OF the United States survey steamer Hass-
Ter. In Older circles the meeting OF the
Fornlghtly Club at the residence of Mrs.
G. NJ. Sheafe easily took the lead. De-
spite the fact Of its being leap year there
were but few engagements announced and
only three marriages.

Engraving damon s,

Diamonds can now be engraved in a
very artistic manner. A fine specimen
of this development of the diamond
cutting art is large circular stone on
which pansy with its foliage is en-
graved. Another example is a ring
made of one diamond. the interior sur
face being polished and the exterior
deliberately engraved. 1t is but few
years since it was first possible to
pierce holes in diamonds. This feat
made possible the placing of diamonds
on string alternating with pearls.

Value of the Big Corn Crop.

Cleveland Leader: Small fry econo-
mists who jump at conclusions and are
inclined to look at the dark side Of
things, say that the greatest corn crop
ever grown is not going to pay the
farmers of the United States as well as
the short crop of last year. They for
tify this gloomy assertion by statistics
which show that the biggest of all big
crops. if sold at the prices now ruling
and likely to rule, would bring less
money to the men who grew the corn
than they would have received If the
small crop of 1894 had been mrketed at
the quotations current year ago IN
the large cities. In other words, the
fall in price is held to more than offset
the increase of a billion bushels or
more in the yield. This is nonsense.
Not more than 20 per cent of large
corn crop. in the United States. is ever
moved out of the counties in when the
grain is grown. Farm animals eat
where it is produced.

Empire is aware that the principal
duty of the Grand ViZier. besides afiiX-
