Cruel Fussy Mothers.

lli' i'OSloi lI'Id III
Across the aisle from me sat one of
the .'fussy" kind Of mothers with her
little girl, evidently about five years
ole. The mother didn't leave the child
in peace for one minute She took off
her hat; she smoothed her hair. she re-
pinned her collar; she wiped her face
With her rocket handkerchief; she TOOK
her from her seat and stood her on the
IGOR to straighten her frock; then she
sat her back again. She took off her
hair ribbon and retied it; she looked in
her eye to see If there was a sinder in
it: then she began at the beginning and
did all these things over again.
The child srimly endured. Evidently
she had been accustomed to it all her
short life. The world to her was a
queer, tiresone place in which mothers
exhausted their energies and got their
nerves on edge by paying useless at
tentions to little girls.
A physician who sat behind me
watched the scene.
Has the woman no sense?" he SAID
ito me in an undertone. Every touuil
pushes that child nearer the sanitariuIn
tina will one day open its doors to tax e
her in as sure AS fate"
Poor little one!" 1 said. rs there no
hope for her"
Not with that mother" grimly re-
piled the doctor.

Lost by a Close Shave.

From The New York Evening Telegram.
In the big scene of the Bad Sa-
maritan," George Ade's newest play,
one act pictures a seaside resort with
its attendant noise and color A sec
ton of the board walk is shown with
its constantly moving and motley
crowd. a particularly disreputable
man was required as one of the loung-
ers along the walk. George AIDE. the
author, set upon the self imposed task
of rounding up the right kind of genus
hobo He stationed himself at the
stage entrance of the Garden thcater
and after IN hours effort Secured just
the one he was looking for. The fell
low was sans collar and shirt, had a
weeks growth of beard on his face
and the general appearance of one who
had slumbered lond and deep in the
parks.
Want to be an actor" questioned
the playwright.
Sure" replied the tramp.
We'll, take this dollar and get some
thing to eat II report back here in an
hour"
The homeless one went away and at
the expired time presented himself at
the stage entrance, but was refused adj
mitance. He was so elated over his
prospects of getting a position tina he
had been shaved and bought himself
a collar, and, resplendent in u red neck
tie, looked so good that all chance of
him fitting the role Mr.. AIDE had chosen
for him fitted at the first glance. As
ne was dismissed the wanderer NUT
tered:

tried to look, decent"

Lived Up to His Contract.

From the Montgomery. (Ala) Advertiser.
Fifty years ago an Indiana man. then
45 years old, planted an acorn from
which to grow a tree to build his cof-
fin Of. The tree grew slowly, and. Of
course, the man couldn't afford to die
till he mad a coffin out of that tree.
Lately he had 1t cut and sawn into
planks and has manufactured his box
and has it ready for use. We suppose
there will be a demand for the seed Of
that tree.

The Braganza.

These are not by any means tho
largest Known stones in existence, but
they are among the most valuable. be-
cause of their purity. Some of the
largest diamonds on record are Bra
lillian stones, but doubt always has
been cast on their genuinencss. The
Braganza is a Brazilian stone as big
as a hens egg and Weighing 1850
carats. 1t is preserved in the Portu-
guese crown jewels, but there has al
ways been doubt as to its genuineness.
If 1t is genuine. diamond experts say,
1t Is worth 1924, 900. 900.
Another large stone or which there
has been a good deal Of speculation as
to It's ~genuincness is owned by the
Rajah Of Mattang. Borneo. 1t weighs
367 carats.
OF the large diamonds that have
been found in recent years the Excel
sior is the largest. 1t was unearthed in
the J~egersfontein mine, in. the Orange
River Colony. South Africa. 1t meas
ured 2la inches in length, 9 inches in
breadth and inch in thickness.
The Excelsior was found in June,
1893. There was a flaw in it, however,
ara it had to be cut. The larger sec
ton of it found it's way to Tiffany &
Co, where it still remain waiting a
purchaser. When the Tiffany robbery
first became known it was thought that
it was the Excelsior that had been
stolen.

in the Orient.

Diamond dealers and police all over
the civilized world have long realized
that as soon as a precious stone finds
it's way to the orient 1T is lost until its
buyer dies and his property is divided
among his wives or his relatives.
The large precious stones generally
find their way into the croWllS of roy
atty. The Orlotf, which weighs l94A
carats, is in the Russian crown jewels.
That stone Formed one of the eye Of
an idol in the Hrahman temple on the
Island Of ~Srirangaln in the lNavori riv-
er, neal Trichinopoli. The story has it
that it was stolen from there early in
the eighteenth century by "a French
soldier. From him il found it's way
into the hands of an English ship cap
tain and so got into Europe.
1t turned up in Amsterdam in 1871
and for a time it was called the Am
sterdam diamond. 1t got it's name of
Orloff when Prime Orloff bought it for
1,4OO, 900 Dutch forms and presented it
to the Empress Catherine ii. of Russia.
This Jewel forms the head of the i'm
perial scepter.
Three other famous jewels in the
possession Of the Russian crown are
the Shah, the Moon Of Mountains and
the Polar Star-the first of SS carats,
the second OF 1870 caratS and the third
of 40 carats. The Shah is an engraved
diamond, one of the very few large en-
graved diamonds in existence. All are
perfect blue white stones. Catherine IL
bought the Moon OF Mountains for
450, 900 rubleS, an annuity of 1900
rubleS and letters of ROYALTY,
