Most Exclusive CIn6 ON Earth.

The Diamond Club of London is the
most exclusive, richest and, in some
respects, the Oldest club in the world.
Its members are such of the great dia-
mond dealers of London as can qualify.
Each candidate for admission is exam
ined by a committee, which inquiries
infinitely into his past.
The club is primarily an eating place
and place of business. The members
meet daily at the luncheon hour in the
dingy little cafe in Hatton Garden, oc-
cupying private room. Although
these dealers in diamonds do not care
for dress they do care a great deal for
good dinners. Their l o'clock repast
is famous for its excellence 1t is said
to be the finest in the world
The doors of the clubhouse are
opened at 10 a. IN. and the place is de-
serted before p. M, about the time
when the West End clubmen are begin
ming their day. One of the features of
this curious club is the displaying of
diamonds by its members. Often bags
full of rare gems of exceeding size and
lustre are emptied onto the dining
room tables for inspection, and num-
5ers of them are passed around the
room and handled by as many men as
wish to look them over. The owner
has no fear, for he confides implicitly
in any man whose character is good
enough to allow him to become a mem

No such Place As Gr.,na Green.

The novelists have woven a romance
about Gretna Green and its VILLAGE
blacksmith which will last for all time
and which for all time will SUNNY
uenouement to the wares of successiye
professional story tellers. The sordid
Iacts OF Gretna Green marriages and
the still more sordid details of the
Gretna Green registers are widely diff
1erent from the picturesque romance
which we associate with the DAYS of
postboys and the mad racing and chas.
ing through Carlisle. The history of
'Iretna Green and its marriages rests
upon the abominable marriage laws
or Scotland. We call them abomina-
Die, for they are the curse of the Scot
fish genealogy. The marriage laws in
Scotland were and are flor they re-
main unaltereO atrociously simple.
and therein lay the temptation and at.
traction of Gretna Green Probably
the novel-reading public will be shock.
ed to hear that there is no such de-
finite place as Gretna Green: the name
applies to a district comprising some
number of villages or hamlets some
miles apart. All that was necessary
was to get over the border into Scot
land, and there make the necessary
contract before witnesses. The black
smiths shop on the high road north
from Carlisle was the most easily &C.
cessible, and was probably the best
known, but there were some houses
just over the border which kept wit
nesses at hand, and retained a register
Of the contracts entered into. The
registers were a secondary matter,
and the fees demanded were frequent.
ly large and, where secrecy was an
object. extortionate.
Those Gretna Green marriages still
occasionally rake place, though now
only between residents in the neigh.
borhood; but as similar ceremonies
take place all over Scotland there Is
nothing especially distinctive about
the contracts made at these Gretna
Green marrying shops. But unless an
actual and proper ceremony takes
place. 1t is said these Scottish mar
riages are not valid upon persons
where both are of English domicile,
though those intending to elope can
have the consolation of the fact that
the preliminary residence and adver-
tiscment necessary in England are not
compulsory In Scotland, and mar
riage in a Scottish church is binding.
So couple Of return tickets to Scot
land may still carry matrimonial ad-
vantages. The English law attaches

domicile is held to be valid in Eng
land.

DOES FARMING PAYf
Depends Largely Upon Management and
Economy in Az Things.


1t Is very natural for the prosperous
person In any vocation to tell the I'M
fortunate one that his failures are due
to lack Of judgment and energy. Let
US examine the profit Of farming from
business standpoint
Mr. A, a retired merchant, has $13,-
600 to invest in farming. The follow
Ing gives a rough estimate of expenses
and income: We assume that Mr.. A
employs Mr.. r to do his farming; $500
and house is no eXtravagant salary
for MIR. B. Mr.. A also hires Mr.. G for
eight months at S25 per month. Mr.
A buys a well improved farm Of 100
acres at $40 per acre, $4,000. To
equip said farm costs $1,000. We then
have the following items of expense:
Interest on $4,000 at 6 per cent,
$3.50; taxes, S125, insurance, $12: an
nual repair of buildings and fences,
$50; seeds. including clover. 500: feed
for four horses, 5000: incidentals, $25;
Mr.. BIS wages, $500: Mr. C's wages,
5000; threshing and extra help during
year, 500; total expenses. $1,SS2.
Now as to his income. We assume
that Mr. A intends to engage in gen
eral farming-clover, corn, oats and
wheat. Deducting roads. drives and
yards, it will give us 3S acres of each
crop,
Wheat SO aCrao by 20 bushels at roc,
500: corn. IS acres by so bushels. Mt
800, 500; oats. IS acres by 40 bushels,
at 25c.. S3SG; hay. 90 tons at s., 500;
total income $15S2; total expenses
81 $50; loss, $500.
Ii is apparent if Mr. A had to Dor
row the money to buy the farm, he
could not meet his actual expenses,
unless he gets higher prices or in
creases the yield per acre. The con-
cluSion Is, no matter how much iudg
ment and energy Il farmer has, 1t is
very doubtful whether he can afford
to pay $40 per acre for a well i'm
proved farm for the purpose of rails
ing clover, corn, oats and wheat The
remedy for Mr. 4 lies in converting
the clover-instead of using 1t as a fer
tilzer-into beef, mutton and pork.
This of course means more capital and
additional risk.
Can young man buy farm and
ever expect to pay for 1t? Yes, II he
can get a good farm for $50 per acre
and is willing to practice mixed farm
ing. and scrupulously live up to the
motto "Waste Not"
There are many farms in every
country where with the present prices
1t is impossible to make fair living
with general farming. What shall
these farmers do? Some say change
the tactics and raise some special
crop-berries, fruit. sheep poultry,
etc.-good advice. provided these
farms are so located that they are in
reach Of good market.
Does farming pay? The man that
bought farm two years ago says 1t
does. The one who bought 25 years
ago says no. Thirty years ago we
paid for one acre of naked ground as
much as three acres improved, equally
good soil, bought at public sale last
summer.-Country Gentleman.

HER EYEBROWS
DOW . Man Can Choose . Wife
Successfully.

ITS all very well for girl to plume
herself upon her pretty eyebrows"
said an expert physiognomist to the
Boston Globe man, but |, who have
been studying character for years. have
perhaps rather different point OF
view. Eyebrows show character, and
the wise man will take note of them
when choosing his friends. Eyebrows.
for instance, that are wide apart denote
frank, generous, unsuspicious and i'm
pulsive nature.
When they meet one may be pretty
sure that their owners temperament is
ardent, but jealous aud suspicious.
Eyebrows which are elevated at start
ing and continue in long, sweeping
lines over the eyes. with downward
tendency, indicate artistic feeling
Straight eyebrows, forming a firmly
defined line close to the eyes. denote
great determination and will power.
Those which begin rather strongly and
terminate abruptly without passing be-
yond the eyes show an impatient and
irascible nature.
"Sensitiveness and tenderness are in
dicated by slightly arched eyebrows,
and firmness of purpose and kindness
of heart by those which are straight at
the beginning and are rather arched at
the temples. The eyebrows of people
utterly devoid of mathematical power
are raised at the termination, leaving
wide space between them and the
corners of the eyes. On the other
hand, if they are close to the eyes at
the end, mathematical talent may gen.
orally be safely assumed.
Eyebrows of the same color as the
hair show constancy, tirmness and res
olution; if lighter than the hair they
denote INDIGESTION and weakness: while
If darker We may probably be right in
our surmise that their owner is of an
ardent, passionate and inconstant dis
position.
An energetic and easily irritated ma
ture is shown by the hair growing in
different directions while short. close
ly-lying hair, growing in one direction,
indicates firm mind and good percep-
tions. An ardent but tender nature
is shown by the hair being soft and
fine.
when the hair OF the eyebrows has
a downward droop so that 1t almost
meets the lashes when the eyes widely
opened. tenderness and melancholy are
betrayed. The nearer the eyebrows are
to the eyes, the firmer and the more
earnest the character, while the more
remote the more volatile and Eighty
is the nature of their owner"

Some good points to remember in
the making of ice cream are these:
Milk should always be scaded or it
may taste watery. If flour is used to
thcken, cook in double boiler for
twenty minutes. If corn starch cook
an hour. When candied fruits are used
double amount of sugar is required.
In making brick ice cream, allow two
tablespoonfuls of gelatine to each
quart. For ginger ice cream, use
the preserved ginger. In freezing
Ice cream takes One-thlrd as much salt
as ice, and the ice should be on top. In
packing after the freezing, leave the
salt on top Always allow the cream
to stand for two or three hours before
serving, as it makes it richer. Cater
ers In making cream for entertain
ments usually make it two days ahead.
