New York,s "Dinmond Rooms"

Only men and women who want to
purchase an expensive set of jewels,
say $4,000 worth or upward, get n
glimpse of the diamond rooms" as
they are called, in the big New York
jewelers. shops. Gems worth less than
that usually are kept in show cases and
examined in trays at the counters. But
if a customer wants to make a larger
purchased diamond necklace with
pearl pendant worth from $4,000 to
$4,000, for instance-he is shown into
parlor where he can examine the
jewels more ut his leisure and see the
salesman weigh them on the most care
fully balanced scales. These parlors as
a rule are luXuriously but simply fur
nished and are convenient to the safes.
1t is not an unusual thing during the
holiday season for a salesman in a well
established store TO make three or four
sales a day ranging from $4,000 to
$30,OO0.-New York Press.

Soldiers and weight.

These facts are given by two officers
who conducted experiments to deter
mine the effect of weight on soldiers in
full marching order. The five men who
volunteered as subjects marched dis
lance of fifteen miles and eighty-two
yards. The different weights carried
were fOrty-eight, fifty-nine and sixty
five pounds. With the first weight 1t
was found that a man at a moderate
temperature could cover the distance
with ease; in hot or close weather slight
inconvenience was experienced, which
disappeared when the march was over,
so that the men could begin the next
day as well as ever.
The weight of fifty-nine pounds did
no harm in moderate weather, but
proved fatiguing when it was hot, and
effects were felt the next day. When
the men carried the third weight the i'll
effects were very marked.

The fact that it is the best

Packers Seek Revenge.

Billings Gazette: The former will
probably scoff at II, but the fact re-
mains that the Democratic newspa-
pers, as well as the Republican, have
a tolerably fair inkling as to the
real u of the strike of the men
employed In the large packing houses
of the east. There is something more
than a refusal on the part of the
packers to grant the demands OF the
men behind the present trouble. The
application of former Attorney Gen.
eral Knox TO advance on the docket
of the United States supreme court
the case pending against the pack
ing house lords, and by which the APP
peal Is to be heard next October. is
not so remotely connected with the
strike as some people may suppose.
Those fellows do not love the ad.
ministration any more than do the
financial potentates of Wall street
and are not above doing anything that
they may have reason to believe will
cause a reyulsion of feeling against
the president and his cabinet. They
have conspired against Roosevelt and
are working their cards. This. and the
further desire to increase the price
of meats and to declare their estab-
lishments open shops" are the prin-
cipal causes leading to the strike.
