nothing for it but to drive home him

the smiling but unconscious coachman
inside the carriage, mounted the box
and took the reins. The monotony Of
the homeward journey was broken by
wheel OF the carriage coming into
violent collision with stone just out
side the entrance to Bishopsthorpe

FEW DIAMONDS ARE sMUeeLFp.
Amount SO Brought In Has No Effect
on the Market.

Very few diamonds are smuggled
into this country now, whatever may
have been the case in former days,
declared an agent OF a large jewelry
house who makes yearly trip to Eu-
rope to purchase precious stones. The
amount that is brought in without
duty is so small as to have no effect
on the market. Uncut diamonds are
not taxed The duty on cut stones is
but ten per cent. Amsterdam, Holland,
is the great market for diamonds
Nearly all the New York dealers who
import buy from that city. Eighty per
cent. of the diamond cutting for the
world is done in Amsterdam. Few
small diamonds are cut in New York
city. There are almost no facilities
here for doing the work. The expe-
rienced cutters at Amsterdam can turn
out the work cheaper than it can be
done on this side of the water even
when the customs duty is added to the
rates paid the Holland manufacturers.
Large diamonds, about three-quarters
of a carat, are cut here, but most of this
work is recutting for the changes in
style of setting"
