What the Jury Found.

Some years ago the body Of well
dressed man was found in a field on
the outskirts Of an English town.
There were no marks Of violence, and
it was doubtful whether death had oc-
CURED from natural causes or If the
individual had committed suicide. In
due course the body was identified,
and gentleman who had been &C.
quainted with the deceased was called
upon to give evidence at the inquest.
Among other things, he stated that he
had always considered him to be man
Of marked idiosyncrasies. and his brain
was continually excited by his Hresist-
ible fondness for chimeras Of vart-
GUS kinds. The jury was evidently
satisfied with his statement and Inn
mediateiy brought In a verdict that
death was caused by idiosyn crasies
forming on the brain in consequence
OF excessive Indulgence tn chimeras,"
adding rider that 1T should be a
warning to people to refrain from that
and Other Intoxicating beverages"

The shop Of a Dublin tobacconist
named Lundyfoot was destroyed By

into the smoldering ruins he noticed
that bis poorer neighbors were gath

tested the snuff for himself and dis
covered that the fire had largely i'm
proved its pungency and aroma. This
was hint worth profting by. He Sc
cured another shop, built a lot Of

Ing process, gave the brand a name
and In few years became rich
through an accident which he at first
thought had ruined him. It was Lun-
dyfoot to whom the great orator and
wit, John Philpot Curran, suggested the
celebrated motto to the coat Of arms
emblazoned by the successful tobac-
conist upon the panels Of his carriage,
a motto which had its meaning in
Latin and English and was significant
In both, 'Quid Rides" (who laughs).
"Quid,' It may be mentioned, was a
nickname bestowed on tobacconists at
the time. owing to prominent article
in their stock of trade. - 81"

The King Of instruments,

Restricted as is It's range of dynam-
les, the violin has had for its votaries
men Of such widely differing tempera-
ments as Paganini and Spohr, VIII
helmj and Sarasate, Joachim and
Ysaye. Its literature does not COM
pare with that Of the piano, for which
Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin
and Brahms have written their choic-
est music, yet the intimate nature Of
the violin. its capacity for passionate
emotion, crowns it-and not the organ
with its mechanical tonal effects-as
the king Of Instruments Nor does the
voice make the peculiarly poignant APP
peal Of the violin. Its lowest note is
the G below the treble clef and its top
note a mere squeak, but it seems In a
few octaves to have imprisoned within
Its wooden walls miniature world Of
feeling. Even In the hands Of clum-
sy amateur it has the formidable DOW
er: of giving pain, while in the grasp
Of master it is capable of rousing the
soul.--James Huneker in Everybody's.

Polishing a Diamond.

The polishing of diamond is very
slow process, because of the. great
hardness of the material; besides this,
the work must be frequently inter
rupted to allow the disk to cool out
after it has become overheated by
friction. Each time a new facet is to
be cut the diamond must be removed
from the dop and reset at another
angle, and the diamond cutter trusts to
his eye alone to guide him In this deli:

Of very small diamonds a magnifying
