The Cause 81 Wonderful Hit Msde by
#s.l tho Late BilI Nye.
James Whitcomb Riley tells q quaint
story Of his former lectnring partner,
Bill Nye. Itwas the opening Of their
joint season. They had both been rusti-
eating during the vacation and were
brown as berries Nye looked much like
an Othello id his sunburned make up,

faon Of some 8 liquid white, = a cosmetic

profession. ss.s 81 81
Nye sent for the preparation, and.
never having used anything Of the kind
before he filed the palm Of his hand
with it and carefully smeared it over
his untenance. There was no mirror
in his primitive dressing room, and
Riley was Identifying himself on the
other side Of the stage. ..
The liquid white" dries out some
what like whitewash, and when Nye
appeared before the audience he was q
sight to behold. His head looked like q
frosted top piece on wedding cake.
His face, white as the driven snow, was
expressionless and blank. The audience
shrieked, and when he came off from
his first selection they demanded his
temperance. He obliged them to bowls
of laughter. Again he made his exit,
and again was redemanded by the up
roarious audience. I !.
Believing he had made hit, he was
about to return to the stage when he
was caught by the arm by Mrs. Nye,
who cried, civilian Edgar Nye, what
have you got on your face?''
Nothing but it's usual expression,
my DEAR ss.+.
Expression! Fiddlesticks! You re a

him to where there was a piece Of broken
looking glass showed him how he

The Teacher.

One cause Of the low standing OF the
teachers calling is lack Of extended
professio nal training. Professions easily
entered are not usually highly respect
ed. The medical profession has been
cited as an illustration. Not long ago,
when one could be q physician without
special training, the profession was not
very highly esteemed. Now, when ex-
tended training is demanded both by
public opinion and by law, the profess
sion is respected as one Of the highest,
IN like manner the teaching profession
would undoubtedly increase in favor
were training Of q high order demand
ed. In fact, we find the respect for the
profession varying il different countries
and in different grades Of the school
system almost in direct ratio to the
education and prof ssional training re-
quired Of candidates. Forum.

MARRIAGE OF OFFICERS.
The Armies of Europe Have Various Rules
Regulating It.. ---.

The Armies of Europe Have Various Rules
Regulating It.. ---
The restrictive conditions at present in
force with regard to the marriage of
officers in the Russian army forbid this
privilege under any circumstance in the
case of officers under the age of %. Be-
tween the ages of % and 20 years the
dot of an officers wife must amount to
sum representing the minimum in
come of $50 rubles yearly.
On comparison of these conditions
with those regulating the same question
in other European armies it may be
noted that in the Austria Hungarian
army the number of officers authorized
to contract marriage is limited by fix
ed proportion assigned to each grade,
and, these totals being reached, all fur
ther marriages must be deferred pend
ing the occurrence of vacancies in the
married establishments. $ .tss
The Italian army regulations which
fix the income Of the fiancee at mini
mum of from 1900 to 1900 lire, would
appear to be more rational in their
operation. Italian officers, however, ap-
ply somewhat liberal Interpretation to
this law, with the result that the num-
Der of marriages occurring under actual
provisions does not exceed more than an
eighth Of the total number, seven
eighths Of the officers being united un-
der the conditions of the religious cere-
mony only, and thus exposing them
selves to all the incOnveniences which
attend a marriage not recognized by
civil law. f. +. =
Similar disabilities would now ap-
pear to be incurred by Russian officers,
and suggestions have been made by the
press in Russia that general revision
Of the law is becoming necessary. The
question is assuming some Importance
from the fact that Russian officers,
reaching a total number of nearly 40,
600, represent one Of, the most impor.
tant classes in the state. Brooklyn Cit

DIAMONDS IN AMERICA.

Hair Billion Dollars Worth Owned
Here amount Rapidly Increasing. y
In no country are there more dia
monds to be found than in the United
States, according to the population. It
Is estimated by q leading Maiden lane
New York; diamond dealer that there
are upward Of $500, 600, 900 worth Of
diamonds in this country. Moreover,
this vast amount is increasing year by
year. 55s.. t1=,ls s4
Until quite recently diamonds were
rarely cut in this country, but Amer
lean inventors have developed process
for diamond cutting which is vastly SUI
perior to that done abroad.
The loss in weight through cutting is
sometimes fully one half, but the value
is increased probably more than two
fold
The Dutch city Of Amsterdam has
been the great diamond cutting center Of
the world from time immemorial and
up to few years ago over $4,000 peo-
pie in that place were directly or indi-
rectly dependent upon this trade.
But it was not reasonable to suppose
that Amsterdam should continue to hold
a monopoly Of diamond cutting. AS one
of the greatest importing cities of the
world, New York gradually offered in
ducements to diamond cutters, and an
industry has been gradually built uI
here that is now very fourishing and
profitable. In 1853 Henry D. Morse Of
Boston invented machine for cutting
and polishing diamonds, and since then
! improvements have been made upon il
| that are very important. The foreigners
continue to polish their stones by hand
but in this country machinery is large
ly used. -. III & H.

value Of all the diamonds in the world

"reminiscences of the Author of "Home,

The old Christian cemetery at Tunis
is one of the strangest sights in that
strange town. Just off busy thorough
fare, under an ancient archway, is a
heavy wooden gate, much worn by the
lapse of time, thickly studded with fan
tastic nails and provided with prodi-
gious knocker. The latter, however, is
not needed, for the gate yields to, an
energetic push, and you find yourself in
"a large, walled Enclosure, half garden,
half graveyard, where an Italian wom
an is hanging out clothes among the
gaunt white tombs. It is 10 years since
any one was buried here, and the place
is beginning to look neglected. The
modern cemetery is now outside the
walls, and its guardian told me that
many people came to him to inquire for
the monument Of ''an American poet'''t
or ''an> American consul" and he had
to send them to the old graveyard. The
