TRULY A VALUABLE TYPEWRITER
Witty Reply of an Authoress Who Used

A New York bachelor author. who
writes on machine, wrote note re-

still works by hand, and incidentally
called her attention to the fact that if
she wished him to do so he would Sc
cure a machine for her at S. per
month, guaranteed TO write poetry,
able articles, fiction, etc. A day or so
later he received a reply written in
beautifully clear, round hand to this
effect:
MY Dear Mr.. -: This is my type
writing machine Isn't it nice? 1t is
called the Blank typewriter. 1t is
sound, kind, in good repair. warranted
to travel well in single harness and
if you do not say it is the incest ma
chine you ever knew l shall refuse to
believe that you were born when
knighthood was in flower. 1t is war
ranted, like yours, to write able ar
ticles, poetry and fiction with equal IA
cility, but, unlike yours, it is not for
sale at IS month. Its original cost
was large and have put so many i'm
provements on it since that l cannot
dispose of it save at a considerable
adyance-and even then should be IN
willing to part with il except TO a re-
sponsible person warranted to treat it
with care"

ously to become a millionaire. so that |
he may secure the services of this in

The Public Speaker.

FROM ScriDner
The old days Of spread eaglesm' are
over. Mere rhetoric no longer convinces,
IL, indeed. It ever did, Sarcasm is an
other cartridge that is quite as likely to
burst at one end as the other. The pro-
fessional vender of "eomic Stories, too,
carries about as much conviction with him
as brass band, and the savage partisan
who breaches on the1 text attributed to
Horace Greeley that every horse thief Is a
member of the opposite party only hurts
his cause.
After all. however, with perfect arrange
ments, attention and order, the success of
the speaker ultimately depends upon him.
self II he desires personal popularity and
the success of tie evening, he will avoid
serious argument and hold the attention of
his audience by a succession of anecdotes,
apt, but not bitter, with good-natured ridi-
cule quip and gibe, and confine himself to
a general handling OF the subject not cal
culated to give offense.
If he regards his cause as more import
ant than his personal success, he will seek
to hold the attention of his audience in the
main. not by tricks of oratory or eioquence
but by plain, telling, pithy facts and fig
ures clearly fairly and succinctly stated.

combat the arguments. of the opposition
neither by good-natured Jest nor by general
denial, but by the citation of Official and

nal authorities 1t is this speaker that
makes converts for his party-and enemies

The gift OF CAB pleasant address and q
newspaper scrap book are all the .prepara-
ton necessary for the popular orator. The
hardest kind OF hard work lies before the

CHAMELEON DIAMONDS.
How Stones Are "Faked" in Hatton
Garden and Change Their Hues.

From the London Mail.
An interesting phase of the diamond trade
was revealed at Clerkenwen county court
when Mr. Nathan Maissell of Church street,
Shoreditch sued Mr.. Jacob Citron. a da-
mond merchant of Hatton Garden, Z. c.,
for f22 5s, in respect of a stopped check.
Mr. Maissen said he offered diamond
set as pin and stud, which he had bought
for f19, to Mr.. Citrons brother, who at
first agreed to buy, but afterward kicked"
as the diamond had a blush tint when in
the setting, but looked yellowish when re-
moved.
Subsequently Mr.. Maissen offered the dia-
mond to Mr.. Citron at the Diamond Club
for f24 warning him that his brother had
kicked" He bought 1t for f22 S., giving a
check but on taking the stone out of the
setting, said: Now l know why my brother
Kicked" and demanded the return of the
check, declaring that the diamond had been
painted for sale.
Samuel Misse nblatt diamond setter Of
Hatton Garden, was called, and said that
If diamond were painted 1t would give II
blush appearance and increase the APP
parent value Mr.. Lewis Citron brought
him this stone to set aud its color was
white. He washed it in hot water and its
color changed to yellow tint. Two hours
afterward it came back TO be reset and Its
color was again white. The witness added
that many diamonds looked better in the-r
setting, and others had to be sold unset to
get their full value. MI CIron SAID tnar
a soon as the stone was removed from the
setting he saw il was fake. Diamonds
were sometimes faxed" with chemicals or
blue pencil, and the deception could not be
detected by magnifying glass, but only by
washing Mr.. Sassini. another diamond
merchant, said he had no doubt the stone
had been colored. The judge remarked that
if the evidence was to be believed this stone
changed color every few hours. The jury
found in favor of MIR. Maissell, and judg-
ment was entered for him with costs.

COURAGE.
It is Largely the Result Of Ones Men
tai Condition.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Courage is very largely a matter of a
well organized mental condition" said an
observant man, land I base this assertion
on something more than mere observation,
for I have passed through a little expe-
rience which furnishes ample proof of the
fact. Strangely enough, very small and
altogether harmless snake figured in the
happening. 1 was always a great hand to
play pranks, and. as a matter of fact, L
have not gotten over this sort of thing up
to this good day. 1t was back in 1870 that
the incident I have in mind happened. 1
was living in the country at that time, and
it was just about the season Of the year
when plums begin to ripen. Out on the
hill from where lived we owned a plum
orchard, which covered the whole top and
sides of the HILL and embraced some four
or five acres. The trees were filled with
small green snakes. They looked very
much like chameleons in color being of
an extremely delicate green. OF course,
their color never changed like the chame-
Icons. They were not delicate enough for
that. But they were very delicate and
altogether harmless. We used to catch
them and have considerable amount of
fun out of the young ladies of the neigh
borhood.
zone day while we had a number of
young lady visitors at the house, I strolled
up into the plum orchard to get a snake,
with the intention of having some fun l
got the snake, carefully wrapped 1t up in
piece of paper. and showed 1t into my
outside coat pocket. Returning to the
house directly. my mind was diverted, and
/ completely forgot about the little green
snake in my pocket. While playing around
in the yard 1 happened to run my hand
down into my coat pocket, and for some

Substitute for Quinine.

From Medical Talk.
You think you are bilious. Well. I should
think you would be. What did you expect
your stomach and liver could stand. You
ought to be thankful that you got Off with
simply being bilious. The wonder is that
you have any stomach or liver left at all.
What would 1 advise? Well in order to
stir up your liver little and give you
slight. gymnastic exercise, would advise
you to go and find the doctor who gave you
100 grains of quinine and give him good
licking. Hit him with your hands; don't hit
with club or shoot him. Just use your
open hand. After you have, done this right
would quit using tobacco. II not entirely,
at least nearly so. Say a little after supper
each day. Use no alcoholic stimulants of
any sort. Let your diet be simple and plain.
Avoid excuses. Avoid everything fried dur
ing the hot season. Eat much fruit; drink
much water. Take long nights Sleep Be-
have yourself. Keep away from the doc
tors.
