DIAMONDS GALORE.
It Looked Like a South African Dia'
 mond Field.

From the New York Journal.
 Twenty thousand dollars worth of dia- monds that sparlIled from every crack and corner when spilled upon the floor of Commissioner of Bankruptcy Alexander s office yesterday, tested the honesty of hundred or more spectators who crowded inc room to hear the case against Dla- mond Merchant Solomon Orbach, The creditors of Urbach are trying to force him into bankruptcy, but he claims ne would not only be solvent, but wealthy had he not been robbed of S40,OD worth of gems which he put under his pillow on a train from Baltimore to this city. Ifrbach's creditors are trying to prove that he did not nave such fortune Tn ,inset diamonds and so could not have been robbed of them. They wanted to test his ability to tell the value of dia- monds and brought $2O,000 worth of jew els before the court to get his expert opinion of their worth.
 ITrbach became nervous, and tipped over the tray of gems the moment they were placed in his hands. A glittering shower of diamonds sparkled to the floor and then bounced rolled, and tumbled into remote crannies and dust-laden hooks in the crowded room. Men who had never seen so many diamonds before made wild dashes for the scintilating brilliants. Even the commissioner looked envious. But no the credit of the crowd be 1t said that every gem was returned and the diamond merchants breathed a sigh of relief when they counted them up and found all there.
 After that the case went on, but no-

NOT ALL BARGAIN HUNTERS.
Merchants Find Some Women Like
 Goods Not Advertised.
Prom the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
 What is this new rinktum of the mer- chants?7 said woman shopper in one of the Broadway shops. as she pointed to a placard over some pretty white stocks. The plaeard read: These goods not ad- vertised."
 Are they bargains?" inquired the wo- man, further And if they are bargains. wny shouldn't they be advertised? At any rate, if they're not advertised, they have not been paved over by a mob of bargain mad women, and l think I'll take three. Look, there's similar sign oyer these embroidered handkerehiefs. What does { mean?' Ana she waited for an answer from patient clerk
 Just then floorwalker acquaintance Of the woman came along, and he explained :;
 it's just for sucn women as you thai these signs are intended" he said "In spite of the popular theory there arc some women who are not attracted bv an advertisement of bargain. They think if means Jam of shoppers and mussed up goods. Now, you wouldn't think of going to counter that had a placard, Bargains as advertised, but when you see this sort or plaeard you are attracted at once
 fouVe bought some stocks, I see. and you intend to buy some of those handker- chiefs. That's a proof that the plan works all right. Yes, you are as surely getting a bargain as the bargain hunters, only the goods are little higher class-goods that we never will put very low price on, for the reason that they will always be good sellers. The merchant of today, you know tries to get all sorts of customers, and this Is little entieement he has fixed up for your sort of shopper"

The lgnobIe Quack.
rom the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 At least one topic that came before the homeopathic Medical society early in its session appeals to the lay citizen as truly as to the physician. This Is the existence the methods. the accessories and the eff feet of the "quack"
 The quack doctor is one who bea,,tifnIly makes pretense to medical skill. His modern plan is to resort to advertising. The publications that accept his adver- tisements must be regarded as sharing his guilt. The result of publicity Is the crea tion of a belief on the part of the i'm questionable that they are afflicted wi h an ailment from which they may, in fact, be wholly free. By turning themselves over to the attention of a quack they are robbed of money, deprived of proper treatment, if they happen to be in need of this, and subjected to the dangers that must arise from the use of spurious rem edles prescribed by an incompetent and conscienceless practitioner.
 The favored form of advertisement Is cunningly devised. It details a set of symptoms that, perhaps. are normal man. ifestations arising from conditions to which every individual is liable. and it labels these as the indication of some deadly disease. There is added the infor- nation that the only way to be restored to health IS by resort to the particular quack who has a nostrum, an appliance or a System" to sell to dupes. Often the advertiser appears in the guise of a phil lanthroplst, devoted to the physical bet terment of the race; possibly one who has been a sufferer" and who accepts money only as a necessary and rather disagreeable incidental.
 The statement of the quack is apt to be lie so bald that marvel arises that ir should deceive, but 1t does deceive and herein Is only part of the evil. It gener- ally Is curbed In terms sedulously avoided by persons prone to decency, and in many instances is accompanied by illustrations repellent and disgusting. It is a habit of the principal offenders to print their own pictures and the worst of the degenera te lot so familiar in photographs have been shown up again and again as frauds swindlers and ignoramuses. possessed of no skill. and preying upon the susceptible They are being crowded out of journals that seek to keep on a respectable plane, but the fact is to be regretted that they still can find means to invade the home with their unclean messages, doubly po- tent for mischief in being both degrading and false,

THUNDER sUPERsTITIoNs.
Noises of Sky VariousIy Accounted for
 in Ancient Beliefs.

From the London Chronicle
 Thunder, just because 1t IS a noise for which there is no visible cause, has all ways excited the imagination of the un- scientific; so it is natural that the most outrageous superstitions about storms should date back to the time when every body, more or less, was unscentific. One old writer explains the belief of his day that "a storm is said to follow presently when a company of hogges runne crying home." on the ground that "a hogge is most dull and of a melancholy nature, and so by reason doth foresee the raine that cometh. Leonard Digges, in his Prog nostication Everything Q556) mentions that thunder in the morning. signifies wind; about noon, rain; and in the even ing. a great tempest
 The same writer goes on to say Some write (but their ground l see not) that Sundays thunder should bring the death of learned men, judges and others; Mon days, the death of women; Tuesdays plenty of grain; Wednesdays, bloodshed; Thursdays plenty of sheep and corn; Fridays the slaughter of a great man and other horrible murders; Saturdays, a gen

Work has already begun on the founda- tlon of new steel plant with eight open- hearth furnaces. two mixers and seven converters which will nearly double the capacity of the old works.
 In concluding this industrial review the sweeping deductions on good authority show that Ensley is the largest shipping point in the state. having tonnage great CT than Birmingham and Bessemer com bined. More cars are handled than in the entire state Of Georgia, $15. GOO is in- vested N manufacturing, six railroads and three car lines enter the city, and the monthly pay rolls are $4OO.0oo. The population oh January 1, within radius of two miles from the business center was 22500.
 A Model Town.
 The advancement in municipal affairs has fully kept the pace of the industrial development. Ensley has twenty-five miles of concrete sidewalks, a full sewer age system, fine water works, gas and electricity Two splendid schools and churches of all denominations fully in sure the intellectual and moral growth of the town. A new public library is a work of art and tower of strength in Itself. The real estate market is quite active, as s1nsley is recognized by people all over the district as tine best place for invest ment. Five hundred houses have been erected since January 1.
 Now add to all this the fact that we have the most beautiful residences sec tion within the gift of nature. One would imagine that a city of manufactures would be smoky and dirty, but no so here. Far above the smoke we build, in the clear and healthy air of the noun tains. The hlgh-class of architecture which is maintained in Ensley Highlands and Shady Side makes the harmony com plete.
 The motive behind such prosperity is always to be found in the people. Honor and exaetness color the dealings of the merchants of Ensley: the real estate man will not sacrifice you to make a sale, and their bargains bear A face value.
 It is to this town and by these people MT Home-comer that you are invited, and should you come we would not be surprised if you remained.

 And 1t Is an indsputable fact that great teachers have often been great smokers, It was amid clouds of tobacco smoke" that Tennyson set to work 'ln Memo rium," to reconcile religion with science; it was In a similar, if not quite so dense an atmosphere that Carlyle assigned the deity, and the devil their respective roles in the history of the French revolution. These precedents should suffice; and If they do not. there is the example of Kingsley to be quoted. He was parish priest; and his standards and ideals were high; but he also enjoyed his pipe when his days work was done. and did not hesitate to say so.

Tobacco and Religion.

From the London Mail.
 Sturgeon, the preacher, Is said to have said that 1t was his habit to smoke cigars ito the glory of God" but now we find serious people writing In the Record to say that the use of tobacco in any form is improper for clergymen of any denomi- nation. One wonders why, seeing that the moderate use of the herb is associated neither with evil passions nor with heret- ical doctrines The North American In- dians, who were the earliest smokers known to history, always brought out the
