was preparing some tedious plead
ings which had to be submitted to
court the following morning, and,
knowing that | would need every
moment of my time, locked my
self in a small private consultation

no chance caller could interrupt me.
The room is very diminutive, with
only one window, looking into a
court. and no furniture except a
table and two or three chairs. Well,

the task and, sitting erect in my
chair, began to stretch my cramped
limbs.

A DIAMOND STORY.
The Way . Russian Princess Dispesss
Of Her Jewels.


A few years ago Ludwig Nissen,
a well known Wholesale dealer Of
the Maiden lane district, was in the
Office of a diamond merchant IN
LONDON when a stranger came IN
and offered an unusually beautifU.
stone for sale. The Enghshmap
did not care to i- But Nissen
thought he san lin. But he
was not willing y until he
learned who ovi stone and
where it had com. n. The man
said he represented friend, wo-
man, who did not care to have her
name disclosed. The American was
firm. Ii he could not learn the
owners name he would not buy.
The stranger said he would see the
woman and talk the matter over
with her.
The next day he came back and
took Mr. Nissen TO the woman's
home. She lived in a handsome
apartment in one of the most fash
ionable quarters of the city. 1t
turned out that she was q Russian
princess who, with her husband
and her daughter, had been driven
from Russia for having taken part
in a nihilist movement. Of all
their large property they had saved
only their Jewels. She opened a
little safe and showed the Ameri-
can one of the finest collections OF
diamonds he had ever seen. They
were worth 100000 or 100000.
"We sell them a few at time,
she explained, 'just enough OF
them each year to give Us q living.
Perhaps you will wonder why we
don't sell them all and live on the
interest of the money? But my
husband has the gamblers spirit
The money would not last year.
So we part from them piecemeal.
/ estimate that there are enough OF
them to keep US twenty years, and
/ don't expect to live longer than
that"
One of those diamonds forms the
centerpiece of one of the most val
liable necklaces in New York. A
few Others are sent to this country
every year. In the diamond horse
shoe" at the opera there is never
night when there are not some OF
the Jewels Of the exiled princess on
view.-New York Tribune.

WHEN KISSING BEGAN.
1t Was Imported Into England
by ROwena, Daughter of King
.lengiSt.

The mutual kiss of affection or passion by the lips
between persons Of opposite sex is generally consd-
cred to be instructive. Re- ,henbach sought to ex-
plain it on the theory that tie mouth was the focus
OF the odic force and that these two foc Of oppos
ie sexes possessed natural attraction to each other.
The fact that the mutual kiss between opposite SEX
es is not general among the tribes of men is abund
antly shown by the observatio Of travellers in the
lands where savagery and barbarsm still exist
Where it is now practiced it not probably Of great
antiquity. Insome languages notably the Japanese
there is no word for kiss.
When, however, the kiss was introduced to include
women its vogue like that Of other new inventions,
carr led to excess According to the chronicle Of
Wnsenius, ii was unknown in England until the
Princess Rowena, the daughter OF King Hengist OF
Friesland, nstr cted the nstriar Vortigern in the
imported salute.
Though the Saxon statistics are not probably exact
it is historical that in England not many years ago it
would have been the imperative duty of visitor to
have kissed all the ladies Of the household, ever
without previous acquaintance Such was the eX-
perence of many surprised literary foreigners nota-
bly, Erasmus.
The contemporary drama shows the usage to have
lasted into Georgian era, and it is to be noticed
that the performance was generally called ''sa-
lutte" sometimes the salute.
