ter for conjecture till in 1880 a certain
dealer in precious stones was known
to be in possession of blue diamond
whose history was just blank. Event
ually this stone passed into the pos
session of the plutocrat Batavian,
Thomas Hope. 1t then weighed 44R1
carats. The weight of the Tavernier
was a good third more. The opinion
of an expert was that the "Hope Blue y

April, 1874, there came into the market
the Brunswick Blue Drop, owned by the
Duke of Brunswick. When the Hope

DON'T FORGET HOW TO WALK.

The trolley ear, the automobile and
the train have made transportation SO
easy that people seldom walk any more.
They ride to business, to the theater,
the store, the resort, from the country
into town, from one street to another,
until walking has become almost lost
art. In a generation or two more we
will forget how to use our legs. Man is
bv nature a walking animal He was
never made to sit still and be swiftly
moved from place to place. And he is
beginning to show the results of failure
to use the motor muscles. He is becom-
ing too fat and pudgy. and no small
portion of his i'll health might be traced
to this failure to develop his muscles
and use his physical faculties.-Baltl'

as they will be in the whole world. In
Macbeth he presents himself as
Scotchman, in Hamlet as Dane. in
Merchant of Venice and in Othello
as Venetian, in Julius Caesar and in
'Coriolanus as Romantic speak brief
ly, he changes himself with the subject
and identifies himself with it; words,
thoughts, pictures exercise a common
effect to produce local color and eharac'
terize the personages whom he re-
presents. If he had been polyglot he
would have employed different Ian
guages according to the localities and
kinds of men that were before his mind.
In this way also modern authors ought
to produce their works, and in this way
actors should represent the different
characters -

A FAMOUS JEWEL

There has lately been on view IN Lon

a diamond with a curious history,
known as the Hope diamond ., or the

NO PINS IN CHINA.

When you talk of the awakening of
China, its adoption of occidental ways
and ideas, one class of business men
will not agree with you-the manufaet-
urers of pins.
China frankly does not like the slend-
er sharp pointed instruments considered
so necessary by the Caucasian woman,
or hooks and eyes. 1t prefers loops,
frogs or the simple string. Even the
most persuasive of pin missionaries
make very few converts. The great
argument in favor of the pin-time-
saving-does not appeal to the Chinese.
If they have anything, it is time. They
were having it when our aboriginal
ancestors were experimenting with COM
mon thorns, which were the pins an
cestors-Van Norden s.
