A Joke on a Professor.

Among some intensely amusing col
iege scrapcs told by a Graduatc' in
The Ladies' Home Journal is the story
of certain professor not much liked
by his pupils who was to be married.
The lady lived in Clcvrland. And the
students that loved &; him were not
of course invited. But they dctcrmin-
ed that in some way he should hear
from them. And he did. On the day
appointed the professor took the train
at 10 a. m., due to arrive ut Cleveland
Mt 1870 p. III. About II o'clock Jim
Townsend rushed to the telegraph Of
flee and sent off this dispatch:
Chief of Police, Cleveland: Man

This message reached its destination
long before train No. 6 reached Clcvc-
land, so that when Professor Finalli
alightcd it was to walk straight into
the custody of three detectives. They
would listen to no words of reason. but

At one time not very long ago there
was on the Lancashire coast, near
Lythan, England, cottage and boat
house that were made almost entirely
from the remains Of n score or so Of
whales that had been driven ashore
some years before The framework of
bone, and the dried skins of the huge
creatures were neatly and strongly fas-
tened as covering for walls and roof.
There is another building of exactly
the same kind at Pctcrhcad, in Scot

whales and some of the heavier bones
are used with great effect as outside

Where Tramp. Get Their Gall.

It has been told frequently by per sons who claim to be connoisseurs on cooked birds of all kinds that the only proper way to prepare squab for the table is to incase it in mud and leave it on the burning coals, then remove it, break the mud and the squab rolls out splendidly cooked and fit for the gods to eat.
 A tramp who applied for lodging at Central police station the other night said the same rule was true in the cooking of spring chickens. 1.-The tramps' way to cook chicken is the only way" said he. "Steal one for yourself, wiring her head off. pack her into a handful of mud, throw her in the fire, leave her there for about 40 minutes, jerk her out, break the mud shell, and there you are, a la Waldorf-Astoria. Why. it can't be beat"
 But what becomes of the feathers?"
 70. they just burn and evaporate, so to speak. You never see them after the chicken is taken out of the fire"
 "How about the gall?"

GREAT DIAMOND FINISHED,
One of the oPsatest Kinbevlsy Gene Has Been Cut and sOld h
 This Country.

For six days week since June. . workman had been engaged in cut ting and polishing the largest dia- mond ever brought to this country. One day lately it was finished. says New York exchange. The fua. bit of polishing was done in a workshop at No. IA? West Fourteenth street, and the diamond was ready for the market. Like all large diamonds, this one has name. It is called the Ernestine, and as such is destined to become famous.
 The Ernestine has a history. In the days when Baden.Powell and his small band of men were besieged by the Boers in Kimberley, the Kaf- frs were kept busy in the mines. In what might be termed the height of the siege the big diamond was found. For day work suspended, and the soldiers left the trenches to get a look at the great stone in the rough.
 When the siege was raised the first shipment from the mines was the stone found while the siege was go- ing on. It was taken to London, and there attracted the attention of an American. Others wished it, but the buyer of uncut stones from this country said nothing was too good for America, and the stone was sold to him. It generally was supposed that the cutting of the great gem would be intrusted to some European firm, but the purchaser preferred to have it done under his own supervision in his own shop.
 In the rough the stone weighed 326 karats. The cutting has reduced this, but it was estimated that the Ern- estine when finished would be worth more than s40,OOO.
 The owner said the other day that the diamond had been sold and had left his hands. The name of the pur- chaser he refused to reveal, but in timated that it would be made pub lie in short time. It is understood that q dealer in stones has purchased if, and that the final owner will be woman of wealth, who mas been after the Ernestine ever since it was brought to this country.
