The English Method OF Dealing Out
Supplies by the Week.
In the matter OF small savings and
watchfulness OF expenditure the Eng

the English housekeeper deals out TO
her servants the weeks allowance OF
sugar, rice. -four. coffee and all other
household provisions that are kept In
quantity, and requires an account Of
II all to be rendered, the thing having
been brought TO 30 hne point that
she knows the exact amount of each
article requisite for her family, allow

that quantity beiG- sufficient, as she
knows by experience. two ounces OF
tea. for instance. being regarded as Il

one-half pounds of meat'for a woman
and 1--WE and onef fourth for man

All of these stores she sets down In
her housekeeping book as she gives
them out. and she does not fail on the
next dispensing day to consult her
dates and If anything be left over In
the cooks hands not accounted for to
subtract that from the amount to be

Il the famous Hope diamond reminds
me Of another diamond incident In which
the elder Mclean was d party at interest,
said a Washington newspaper man of
twenty years ago. 1T was during Cleve-
lands first term, and the diamond in ques-
ton was known for some time az the
Cleveland diamond, and was valued at
$4,000. It was owned, or held by the
Pattons, Of Cincinnati, a jewelry firm, and
one of the firm had brought the stone TO
Washington on the chance Of selling 1t to
President Cleveland or TO John r. Mclean,
the latter being in the market TO buy
fine stone to match one in his possession
worth about 5000, and at the same time q
possible purchaser for something bigger.
ANYWAY. Mr. Patton had come 10 Wash
ington with q pocketful of diamonds, In
cluding the big one, and the late Frederick
Mussey, representing The Cincinnati Com
mercial,' had introduced him to lot of
his fellow correspondents. all Of whom had
more or less free advertising TO hand out

night after the rush of news had passed
and half a dozen or more correspondents
had gathered at the Ebbitt House TO hear
II Patton had yet disposed OF his diamond
and get a look at II If possible. they ad-
iourned TO the writing room adjoining the
main lobby, where Patton had agreed TO
give them a private exhibition. one or two
other persons only were in this room, and
they sat at the far end looking out into r
street. The correspondents were at long
table. some on either side, and after those
on Pattons side had been permitted to take
the stone in their hands in the pincers with
which precious stones are usually handled
II was passed across the table, the man 10

.The Philadelphia Press and afterward
son-in-law OF Darwin r. James. OF Brook-

Martin took hold OF the precious atom
of carbon and, feeling that II was UP 20

that the diamond popped out fell 10 the
