PiuChing ParsimOuy.

II Is we'll and right to be economical,
for economy is at the base of saving
and Independence. Many Il housewife
has wasted the substance of her nus
bands eaI nings, and many another one
has been the means of enabling him,
perhaps forcing him. to lay by some
thing for Il rainy day. The pride OF
the thrifty housewife who boasts that
nothing is lost under her administra-
ton of domestic expenditure and con-
sumption is familiar to all. Every
scrap and shred are utilized by her,
and she rivals the inventivenesS of
manufactures in converting wastes
into serviceable use. Poor. hard-work'
ing men owe it to their wives economy
that their little homes are their own;
while others struggle along hopclesSly
I'm the effort to get a home, against the
extravagances Of their wives
But economy is not pinching parsi-
mOny Make no mistake about this.
The good housewife who Is doing her
best to make both ends meet, and If
possible to save little out of her hus-
bands earnings is not to be confound-
ed with the one who Is endea vOring to
pinch something out Of the existence
of her family and herself. The one
will keep her family well, but will not
waste; the other will try to prevent
goodness from going into life.
An old man worth $5O,OOO was de-
cllning in weakness to the grave and
had been ordered by his physician to
take little wine. This is.rich living
for me-" he said regretfully, as he
was slipping the wine and eating a
cracker; and he made sure that not a
drop remained in the glass to be lost.
Here was an economical spirit turned
into parsimony: and n l1fe that had
been Industrious and useful was no
doubt prematurely ended by its pinch
ing character.
Savings made at the expense of
starving the body and mind are too
dearly bought. They may be of service
to children and their posterty. but
the sacrifice that creates them has no
defense.
There was time when parsimony
did not look as bad as it now does 1t
had almost an excuse in day of
scarcity and poverty Of high prices and
small earnings. But the people who
need to resort to absolute parsimony
nowadays are few, and those people are
usually the most wasteful and. consid-
ering their means, the most eXtrava-
CANT. The day of comfort and luxury
has come to most people who would
avail themselves of it.
A pinched up existence Is hardly an
apology for keeping soul and body to-
gether, and a person who pinches his
body and soul not only acts like a tres
passer upon the domain Of life, but by
his conduct endeavors to make himself
passer.-EXchange

on the importatiOns of rough diamonds
increased year by year. at first grad
ualy. but finally by leaps and bounds,
until at present they are running mp in
the neighborhood of $4,000. coo Il year
and still Increasing. And the impor-
tation of uncut diamonds is, needless
10 say, an, exact measure of the growth
of the industry.
Diamonds are quoted because dia-
mOnds are recognized as the most diff
fcuit of all the gems TO cut. Not mere
ly are they the hardest gem known,
but they require n more complicated
cutting and Il greater skill in bringing
out their beauties. And with dia-
mOndS, the importations in the rough
represent absolutely the quality cut,
for there is practically no home pro
duction, while almost every other
known gem is produced in marketable
quantities somewhere in the United
States. SO that the increase in the
rough imports is a more than fair
measure of the growth of the gem
cutting industry.
Fifteen or twenty years ago there
was not gem-cutting establishment of
any Importance in the city. One lead
ing firm had a cutting department
which was mainly engaged in recut-
ting. 1t existed. that is about all, be-
cause 1t was necessary to the COM
pleteness of the establishment. But
like all the other jewelers. in the coun-
try they imported practically all their
gems ready cut. And the two or three
struggling lapidaries that did manage
to keep their heads above water in
some dingy. obscure corner of the jew
elers' district were chiefly engaged in
recruiting. All of them togther could
not have made one establishment of
any reputation for solvency, although
there are many such to-day on Maiden
Lane and Nassau and John streets.

I'm p Oy nent of Women,

One of the latest results of the bu-
reau of statistics goes to show that the
United States has a lower percentage
Of females employed than any other
country, II per cent with the Neither
lands and Sweden coming next. In
Germany the percentage of females
employed to the total of self-supporting
population Is 25, while in England it
runs up to 27. In most of the other
civilized countries the female pOpula-
ton, on account of unfavorable econ
Omic conditions, has to contribute in
larger degree to the support of the
families. In Italy the percentage is
40, and in Austria Al.
Without doubt the percentage has
changed so much in the last few years
that this country would show a much
greater percentage for 1t must be re-
membered these figures represent the
decade from 1890 to 1900. The increase
in the number of women employed,
as well as the number in professional
or business occupations who are for
themselves so to speak, is the subject
of constant remark.
The question must arise in the mind
of many farmers wife and daughter,
if they also are included when statis-
tics of this nature are given. With
out doubt they are not, and yet
many certainly are among the ''em-
ployed" and they spend as many houIs
fhnsn In n-n II
may with truth be said that this is
also the case with many others whose
time Is spent within the home but
that is not strictly in the sense we
mean. Many women on the farms
OF the United States are "employed"
to greater or less extent outside the
household in the fields.

Strengthened out. The stockholders
are chiefly in New England, Canada
and Pennsylvania and at the solicita-
ton of some of them John c. Carruth,
of Philadelphia. has been appointed

issued to prevent the sale of the prop

The starting of the company was in
1890 with the booming Of the cities Of
Sault Ste. Marie, both on the banks
of the st. Mary river-one in Canada,
the other in Michigan. At this time
the latter contained 200 people; the
former 1900 The development which

its large holdings were put upon the
selling for before. Other Canadian
banks followed and the credit of the
industrial organization became so i'm
paired by the low prices obtained for
the security that it was soon at the
end of its borrowing resources.
Mr.. Clergue is man of vim. About
1890 he appeared upon the scene to

the inspection was completed he was
satisfied there We're enormous posi-
bilities of enrichment in the building
of a chain of cities between the wat
crways and the mines with the chief
one at Sault Ste. Marie. In his enthu-
siasm he believed that community of
100000 souls would be gathered there
within ten years with dozen other
cities of from 100 to 100000 people
tributary to it. His schemes were bril-
liant and daring. All Canada thrilled
with anticipation and Clcrgue was styl-
ed the wizard of the north and the
Morgan of Canada. Now his dreams

Although the British museum al
ready contains more than three miles
of bookcases another addition is about
to be made to the department Of
printed books. The new building will
be five story wing 300 feet long 1t
is estimated that the cost will be about
$1,OOO.OO0. of which S25O0OO already
Is in the hands of the trustees.
Since the completion of the per-
manent building in 1917 the trustees
have been obliged to enlarge the
library space several times to keep
pace with the constantly increasing
literature and the needs of the readers.
The original library, numbering 5000
volumes has now reached the million

umes were added and 10000 news

Women in Journalism.

In Harper's Weekly Mrs. Florence
jackson, the editor of The Overland
Monthly. writes instructively on The
Chances for Women in Journalism"
There is still heard at times. she says,
An adverse criticism of women's work
In jOurnalism-a criticism of its being
done at all by women. 1T is said that
such work of the sort as women have
accomplished is trivial in character and
unneeded. and that women make it so
by entering the profession without any
proper equipment for it This criticism
Is somewhat true. Probably no calling
is generally entered upon with so little
technical preparation for it. Men have
a better chance Of success because.
while they may be unframed for a
certain calling, they have the all
around training which rubbing against
the world, physically and mentally.
has given them; and this stands them
In good stead Of special preparation

AMERICAN DIAMOND CUTTERS
Gem Industry Is Now Fully Estab-

Gem Industry Is Now Fully Estab-
1ished in New York.
Gem cutting in America has ceased
to be an experiment and become rec
ognized industry-recognized not mere
ly at home as one more thing that
Uncle Sam can do well, but recognized
abroad as one more thing in which
Yankee competition is to be feared
says the Brooklyn Eagle. Time was
when the cutting Of precious stones
was admittedly one Of the things that
Europe could do better than America,
and America made no attempt to dis
pute the supremacy. And for Europe
one might almost read Holland" for
Holland had practically a worlds mo-
nopoly Of the industry. And all this
not more than a generation ago.
1t was In 1873 that the first rough
or uncut diamonds were imported into
this country-and then few only. val
ued at only $176,426. For five years the
experiment continued with so little
success that in 1873 the imports had
dropped to $63.27O. 1t rather looked
as If Uncle Sam, jack of all trades that
he is, could not master this one. But
that was the turning point. From then
