there is none.

do not upset themselves by trying

practice and games we live much as
other men do who go to business and
still keep healthy and in good condi-

can always be seen at a match having
a cigarette at half time

as we want to and we do not find it

not. The boys take it if they like it,

in AlI-Day Match
and Feast.

With glorious days sport and feast

the latter Cable captain, respective
~. Twelve names to a side were reg

of Jordans men did not bat. A regu-

second inning, but Broadfoo at that
stage, needing only ten to tie, made

they had passed a most pleasant day.

If the work of the government was done by men alone there would be better results at perhaps one-third the cost. am not now dealing in guess work. but from actual experience cov- ering many years. l know I should be called all sorts of names and subject ed to all kinds of criticism if I should say so over my own signature, but there can be no question that the presence of so many women in the de- partments here exercises a wholly demoralizing effect that is reflected in the scandals with which the public has been edified of late years.
 T say flatly that woman is out of her sphere in industrial and official life. I do not mean to contend that there are not some admirable women earning their bread both in private concerns and in the government, but we are talking of generalities. have myself in my bureau two women who perform efficient service and more than earn their salaries, al- though they receive s1,600 per annum. There are others getting s1,200 year who would not be receiving more than six dollars a week at the outside at any department store in the city and they are not worth penny more to the government"

PARTICIPANTS SLIDING BOAT Skins Along the Surface of the Water with Lightness and
 Speed.

The fact that stone can skim the water if its fiat surface strikes square, ly has recently been put in practice in the construction of a sliding boat by French inventor, M. de Lambert. The friction which is present when the de Lambert boat slides over the water Is very slight, and the power which is necessary in order to make the boat. glide is not high. When the boat is at rest 1t is supported by floats, says the American Inventor.
 The boat constructed by M. de Lafh< bert has total length of 20 feet. with a width of ten feet between the in- clined planes upon which it slides. The boat has parallel floats resembling certain Asiatic canoes. The two floats are very narrow and are united by crosspieces, partly of wood and partly of aluminium, metal which has been used to large extent in the construc- , tion of the boat because of It's slight weight.
 The motor used is 12 horsepower, but the essential parts of the boat are fixed sliding planes, adjusted under the boat at carefully regulated distances from each other These planes, which are made of wood, are immersed to depth of several centimeters when the boat Is at rest. and they are inclined at an angle which has been decided upon after wide experimentation. The total weight of the boat is about 1900 pounds, but in order to move this weight 1t requires motor of only 12 horsepower, while in the case of au- tomobile boats the motors required are 60, 80 and even 100-horse power.
 M. Bellet says that M de Lamberts boat has been timed by official chronom- eters. and that the results have been surprising. When the motor Is started the boat commences to move with ths planes still submerged, cutting the wa- ter horizontally But this lasts only a short time; the planes show an in- stantaneous tendency to rise, and they are practically on the water at the end of a few meters. Then the speed quick ly increases because of the immense diminution in resistance, and soon the boat is sliding on the water, or, more exactly, on layer of air resting be- tween the planes and the water, at q speed of 14, IS or 25 miles an hour.

STORY Or ..O.O.I.u uEM. Diamond That Shone in Royal Crowns and Swords Stolen
 by Thieves.

The Pitt diamond was first employed, after 1t became one of the crown jewels
 of France, in the ornamentation of the
 crown that was made for the coronation of King Louis XIV. in 1722. In 1791
 it was entered in an inventory of crown
 jewels that was compiled by order of the national assembly during the revo-
 lution and it was deposited at the Garde Meubel after the assembly had deter mined to sell 1t if buyer at a suitable price could be found. But no offer was made, and so it happened that in Sep tember it was stolen with other jewels by a band of men who broke into the Garde Meuble. It was secreted by the thieves in a hole in the timber work of a garret in a low lodging, and there 1t remained some time. It was at length discovered by the republican authori- ties and deposited in the national treas ury.
 It was not again disturbed until 1894, when 1t was set in the pommel of the sword which Napoleon wore when be crowned himself emperor at Notre Dame in Paris. Empress Marie Louise carried 1t off with other crown jewels to Blois, after Emperor Napoleon was banished to Elba, but her father, Emperor Francis of Austria, obtained it from her and sent 1t to Louis XVIII. That king, on Napoleon's return from Elba, fled with it to Ghent, but after Waterloo returned with it to Paris. In 1880 the diamond was used by King Charles X. at his coronation, but since then it has not been employed at any ceremonial Shortly after the fall of the second empire many of the crown jew els of France were sold by the repub- lican government for the benefit of the state. But no buyer was found for the Pitt, or Regent, diamond and it remains In safe custody at the Louvre.

dan circle which is on the outer edge of the ultra-fashionable northwest sec tion of the city The location of these two embassies in that section will at. tract society there and in a few years that will be the fashionable center of the city. The history of the location Of the British embassy will doubtless be repeated in the building of those of France and Germany.
 Some 20 years ago Great Britain purchased large lot of ground on Connecticut avenue in section which at that time was anything but at- tractive. Nearby were negro settle ments and just beyond were marshes and swamps. The property, however, seemed to be adapted to the wants of Great Britain, she obtained a title to 1t and erected substantial building which is now one of the interesting sights of Washington. The boom which the location of the British em- bassy gave to real estate is we'll re. membered. Consul General Wynne of London, then newspaper man in Washington, desired to make small investment in that section of the town and attended an auction sale of some vacant property near the em- bassy. He did not buy and in relating his experience said to his wife:
 Mary, the fools are not all dead yet. Just think that property we were looking at sold today for 40 cents a square foot simply because 1t is near the British embassy. It is funny how people will pay to get under the shadow of royalty"

Dangers of Cheap Leather.

The danger attending the use and wearing of siuIterated leather is not perhaps fully realized. A large amount of the cheap leather is weighted with glucose and barium. especially the lat ter, so that when the weight test is ap- piled. such adulterated leather may pass as lrst-quality material. Leather so treated, however. has the peculiar quality of absorbing moisture freely and retaining 1t to an extreme degree. The result Is that a boot made of this chemically-treated material is in actuality never dry. Even in the driest weather the precipitation of the feet Is sufficient to render the footwear dan gerous, as such natural moisture acts upon the inner sole and collects there. Scientific American.
