The above illustration shows one of the
mammoth buildings occupied by the great
Mail Order House of the John NJ. Smyth
Company of Chicago.
For one-third of century this COM
pany has been in business. Beginning
in a small way, they supplied their neigh
bors in the nearby towns, each year
widening their field. They are now sell
ing merchandise direct to the consumer
at wholesale prices throughout the United
States.
Some years ago they began supplying
their customers with an illustrated cata-
logue. As the business expanded they
were obliged to increase the size of this
catalogue, until to-day it exceeds 1000
Illustrated pages, quoting the lowest
wholesale prices on everything to Eat,
Wear and Use. By a superior process Of
color photography they illustrate many
of their goods in natural colors, bringing
out the rich color value of curtains, car
pets, draperies, and the latest designs in
wall paper, etc., thus enabling the GUS
toner hundreds of miles distant to select
goods at his own freside, knowing by the
description, illustration and price the
class of goods he may expect.
This feature of their business is be-
coming more and more popular each year,
for it not only saves long and tiresome
railroad journeys but is a great time
saver. 1t leaves out the profit of the
jobbing house, the retailer, the expensive
commercial traveller, the general agent,
the subagent, and thus eliminates from
one to four profits, saving this amount
for the consumer. In short, it is great
wholesale store brought to the home. The
mammoth catalogue referred to is goth
century dictionary of economy.
The illustration below shows the recent
building added to this great enterprise.
The success Of this company seems in
credible, considering the fact that they
have advertised so little. Their spirit of

Funny Men.

The jests of Heliogabulus were very
practical. He was fond of inviting
people with some physical deformity
to dinner and making jokes about
them. At times he would invite doz-
en- hunchbacks or a score of squirting
ladies or an equal number of baldheads.
Once he put large number Of excess
sively fat people, all very hungry, into
a small chamber where dinner was
waiting. There was no room to eat it.
Another diversion Of which he was
fond was that Of placing his guests on
air sofas, so that when they were about
to drink he could let the air out and
have both sofa and guest collapse.
1t is said that Nero.> the Roman en-
peror, liked to. "shy". nuts at the bald
heads Of the prHtors who sat below
during the performance at the theater,
and they were expected to maintain
their baldheaded dignity and refrain
from ''shying" them back at him.

to inform me that every prospector
who knew his business always carried
with him enough morphine to kill a
man easily and that he did so in order
to end himself quickly in case of an &C.

away from assistance. : There We're
many instances Of prospectors falling
over cliffs and crippling themselves or
breaking 4 leg in 4 hole among the
rocks or rendering themselves helpless
in some other way, and death was sure
to follow by starvation or freezing or
in some sections by being devoured by
wolves or other wild animals. In order
to prevent such horrible death rs any
of these the prospector simplified mat

Of morphine, which not only Quieted

THE REGENT DIAMOND.
1t IL Ackn0wSedEed the Most Perfect
Brilliant In EXistence


Brilliant In Existence.
The Pitt (or Regent as it was
afterward called is the most perfect
brilliant In existence, and it's history is
also very remarkable. 1t is said to
have been found by a slave in the Par
teal mines in 1701, who to retain his
treasure cut a hole in the calf of his
leg, In which he concealed it, although
1t IS more probable he secreted it
among the bandages. The slave es-
capped to the coast with his find, where
he encountered an English skipper,
whom he made his confidant, Offering,
indeed, to bestow upon him the stone in
return for his liberty. The mariner,
apparently consenting to the slaves
proposal, took him out to sea and when
there drowned him, after obtaining
possession Of the diamond. Disposing
Of the gem to 4 diamond merchant for
fl,OOO, it is said the man lafterward
hanged himself in a fit Of remorse.
MI. Pitt, governor Of Fort st. George
and great-grandfather of the illustrious
William Pitt, became the next pos
SCISSOR of this valuable stone, weighing
40 carats, for 100000. He sent it to
London, where he had it very skillfully
cut at a cost of $4,000, the process oc
cupying two years. Pitt appears to
have found his diamond no very envia-
bic possession, for. after refuting the
calumnies Of his enemies, who had
charged him with having obtained it
by unfair means, he was so haunted by
the fear of being robbed that he never
slept two nights consecutively under
the same roof, never gave notice Of his
arrival in or departure from town and
went about mysteriously disguised. He
must necessarily have felt greatly re-
lieved when he parted with the dia-
mond to the Due FOrleans, regent
during the minority Of Louis XIV, king
Of France, in I'LL for the sum of E135,-
