40 Diamoad, For Her.

Here is a story from The Bookman,
told by Rudyard Kipling. His father,
John Kipling, went to pay visit &c
an Indian rajah who was about to bring
home qneen. The elder Kipling had
been engaged in the decorations Of tn
palace. and its owner showed him tn
gifts Of stuffs and perfumes he had pro.
cured for his coming spouse. The rajah
also sent for his jewel caskets and asked
Mr.. Kipling to assist him in selecting
the gems to be included in the marriage
gifts. They were Of extraordinary size
and value, such gems as are seldom
seen except in the east. and to the artist
the selection was pleasure Finally
he lifted wonderful diamond, one Of
the choicest gems in the collection. and
said: "You should send this. No wom-
an could resist 1t. !" The rajah looked
up, caught it and held it jealousy to his
breast. then. slowly replacing it in
the casket. answered. "Nsy. such gems

WOOD. THE TRUsr-TAMeR.

When Gen. Wood, late Colonel Of the
Rough Riders, assumed charge OF San
tisgo dc Cuba, the conditions OF the place
we're about ss bad as they could be. The
city was Ameriesnizsd from = sanitary
point Of view. Then came the question
Of food. Meat had gone up TO 90 cents .
pound, and WAS scarce at that. Bread
sold for fabulous prices. Very soon there
came change; provisions began u
come from the ordinary sources. AZ the
supply increased, however, there was no
diminution Of prices. Gen. Wood sent
for the Aldermen representing the differ
ent wards Of the city, and he also sum
moned the butchers. When they were
assembled In his Office he arranged them
In two lines, facing one another. Then,
through An interpreter, he asked the
butchers:
"How much do you charge for your
meat?"
NINETY cents pound. Senor."
"What does It cost your"
There WAS hesitation and = shufiling OF
feet; then one Of the men said 10 whin-
ing voice:
aMeat is very, very dear, Your Excel
lency."
"How much poundg'
Fifteen cents, Your Excellency; but
we have lost much money during the
war, and
$50 have your customers. Now meat
will be sold 1t twenty five cents pound,
and not one cent more. Do you under
stands'
Then turning to the Aldermen, he
charged them to see that his order was
carried out TO the letter, unless they
wanted to b., expelled from Office.
Theuceforward meat was sold 10 the
markets at - cents. A similar reduction
was made 10 the prices Of bread, vege-
tables and all food products. IL WAS
the first showing Of the master hand to
the public, and conAdsnce In the Ameri-
can methods OF administration strength
ened rapidly.-Fortnightly.

SPRING AND SUMNER FASHIONS

A most bewildering display OF SILK IL
exhibited. IL IL evident that foulsrd
silks are to be more fashionable than the
Ia fietss. The background foulzrds with
the white figures have been worn for
several years, and yet the same idea is
repeated, and with such variation ss TO
Una Ike them seem quite new. The Lib
erty foulards are perhaps the newest.
They first came out from Paris last year
in the imported gowns. but were not
seen enough over here TO make them TOO
popular. This Liberty foulxrd Is very
soft material, and yet has considerable
body. Ii 10 q much cooler fabric for
midsummer wear than tsffeta, and some
Of the new shades and designs are ex-
ouisite. The old-fashioned polka dot of
white on the dark ground Is going TO be
immensely fashionable, but the very
flne dots are the smartest, and there is
one new and very smart design-s light
ground with dark dot In the centre Of
which Is q white dot.
Among the ready made foulard gowns
the circular skirts are the most noticeable,
and these are trimmed with bands OF
lace insertion from three TO four inches
wide.
The principal note In spring and sum.
mer millinery IL the excessive use Of
tulle and chiffon. but tuile Is used much
more than chiffon. Very few Of the
spring hats are made entirely Of straw.
They almost all have the brims If these
two materials. When the tulle 10 used II
ID put on in soft folds, ole fold over the
other. The chiffon is sewed into myfisds
of tiny tucks or puffings. This looks
very soft against the straw crown, and,
as rule, ls becoming. The shapes are
mostly Of the toque and turban variety
nothing very exxggerated, and the
colorings quits subdued. kyery shade
conceivable Of lighs gray and tan, un-
relieved In many instances even by
white. Among all these neutral tints
stand out very sharply the purple, green
and bspe hats, very smart In design (;
worn With gowns TO correspond, they
will look far better than they do 10 the
show case.
Oddly enough some tulle hats are In
sailor shape with still trimming Of the
side. But these last are . little too odd,

Now. the Russian bluejacket does not
