A ProtcRO of Mrs , JJondtlokB WheW
W llnlacd Prom the Blums
to Afllnonco ,
Indtanopolla News ,
Among the guests at ono of the lending
hotels n few weeks eo , irere a lady and
gentleman from Now York , who , for the
purpose of this narrative , may bo vaguely
designated as Mr. and Mrs. 13. Bo was
a man of oxoollont social and business
standing , and nho a lady who was ospoo-
lally noted for her charity and bonovol-
onco. They etoppod In the city for sever-
M day ; , and whllo hero wcro ontortalnod
by Vice President and Mrs. Hendrlcki ,
for the two ladles had an acquaintance of
several years standing , which waa begun
under very reraatkablo circumstances ,
and which eventually developed into a
lirm friendship. Mrs. B. was not alto
gether n stranger to Indlnnoaolls , for she
had lived hero before , nnd she had cDtno
back on an unpleasant but dutiful errand ,
nor early days bad boon daysof darkncis
and oho had returned to clear up the
mystery of her parentage and do what
the might to repiy the kindness of these
who had beftiondcd her when she most
needed friends. Her llfo had not always
boon a pleasant or upright ono , but of
late years she had done and Is still doing
everything in her power to atone for her
early waywardness , and to keep the feet
of other young girls from straying Into
the path which hers had trodden. Doubt *
loss many people who road this trill re
member her when a girl , and the trouble
which resulted in her oxllo from homo
and friends.
About ton years ago she came to this
cit > from Lafayette and lived hero with
friends. No matter now what her name
was , sbo was bat 14. years old a beauti
ful young girl , gay and thoughtless.
Like Mary Brandon , "sho had no mother
to teach her , " and her downfall was at
that tiino attributed , whether truthfully
or not , to ono to whom , above all others ,
oho had rcnion to look for protection
and support. For a few weeks the
papers were filled with accounts of hoi
doiugs , and eventually she wno sent tc
the female reformatory. It was here
that Mrs. Ilondricks , who waa then one
of the board of managers of the institution
and other kind hearted ladles , became interested <
torestod In her and tried to reclaim her ,
but it was a diflicult task , for she bad become
como embittered against all the world. .
Ouo day an elderly lady , who was stop
ping In the city , visited the reformatory
and spent several hours among the In
mates. She became particularly inter
csted in Miss B. , and finally agreed t (
adopt her and take lur to her homo Ir
Canada , which she did. She lived then
quietly and peaceably for many mouthi
and then disappeared. Every effort wai
made to find her , detectives word em
ployed and sent to the larger cities It
the country , and advortlsamonts wen
inserted in all the paper. ) , but all with n <
effect. Nearly a year afterwards a lotte :
from Now York came to her bcnefac
tress from her , and It told a pitiful story
She had fallen and reformed , and falloi
again , and she wrote : "I am determines
to do right. If I find I can not , I wil
kill myself , for I have had enough o
misery and shame. " The lady went ti
her , found menial employment for her it
a largo dry goods establishment , and tin
worked faithfully and lived honorably
encouraged by the motherly cara am
teachings of her notrly found friend
The junior partner In the store was at
traded by her pretty face and lady-Ilk
ways , and advanced her to n mcro lucrn
iivo position , and eventually beganpaylni
her marked attention. Boaskodher ti
many him , and she- refused time am
time ufia'n. Ho became importunate ti
know the reason , and finally eho told hin
the whole story of her llfo her sin ant
her suffering holding nothing bask
Most men , whoso creed of morali'y I
never self-applicable , would have avnfdec
her after that , but ho did not. lie tool
her out of the store , had her privately
instructed in nseful und ornaments
knowledge , and at the end of a year'i
probation married her. SIuco then he :
lifo has been pure and noble , and ia spit
of the fact that she has a good aocja
position and everything that culture ant
refinement can suggest , the greater pat
of her time is spent In helping the pooi
and trying to save the erring. She is th
Now Magdalen In fact and not Jn fiction
Lait summer , when Mr. and Mrs
Ilondrlcks wcro in Now York , Alrr. B
called , made herself known , and in * ? to
them to her house. There a racoptio :
was given in their honor , and It waa at
tended by many leading people of tin
metropolis whllo the papers gave length'
accounts of it-but neither the guests no
reporters suspected for an instant hoi
the hostess and distinguished guests ha >
become acquainted. A return visit wa
promised , and when Mr. and Mr ? . B
came to Indianapolis , none wore mor
greatly pleased to see them than Mr. an
Mn. Hondrlcks. Mnr. B. loft hero wlti
put ascertaining what eho desired concern
ing her parentage , bnt before she wen
she vhlted the reformatory , her forme
habitation , and arranged to find goc
homos for these unfortnnato women wh
deajred to reform , but had not the oppoi
tunity.
THE DIAMOND'S VALiUE.
It DopoutlB More Upon the Cuttln
Upnii trio Bl/.c ,
Chicago New * .
'Tho first point to be considered aboc
a diamond is its fuo , " said Mr , Charle
K , Giles , "by which I mean its r <
fleeting light , its brilliancy. The whit
and bluish-white diamonds are the moi
expensive , and the steel white are tb
sharpest. The latter has a kind of hare
light-brownish look , just like nowl
broken steel. There are all kinds i
shade * . In fact , they are innumerable
sinca no two stones are exactly alike i
color. The bulsh-whlto is the costllesl
because the raroit , outside of the deck
odly brown diamond ! , which are ver
rare , very bard and very brilliant , an
which a good fancier will prefer to an
other except the bluish white. The
thcra nro tbo slightly brownish , tli
slightly yellow , the straw color , th
greenish-yellow , the toio color , and th
Rantry yellow. The greenish-yellow ar
the least desirable , but even a little ting
of yellow , not natioable to the purchase
except by compar'sjii with otheri
will bring down the price of a ston
ono-half to one-quarter. You ate tliot
two eparklera , for inaUnc , " and Mi
Giles exhibited two beautifully brilllan
stones intended for car-drops. "Well
( hey are only worth $500 , because the
little 'on" ' what call '
are a , wo 'by-water ,
If of a Quo bluiih-whlto they would b
worth (2,000. The ao-cillod roso-cclore
atones , which aomo ignorant people suf
poio to be very valuable , are only the re
suit of their being cut flit , inch stone
being generally the clearings from lirge
ttonea , the refuse , o to speak. Newt
t * to shape , tbera are differat opinion )
Some prefer the cuihion shape , an
others the round shape. The latter is
American invention , and ii at present tb
moit popnlar ahapo. The cushion shtpo
t of English Uste. The old Dutch
ton oi , cnt at Amsterdam , r gettlngout
f d to , In this country at Icsst. You
oe , there in Amsterdam the doaleu buy
bo tough diamonds by the bsgfnll , just
s they oomo from the mines , and they
JLTO a system of exchanging cut stones
or rough atones , GOO carats of rough for
00 carats of cut onei , for instance , so
hat It Is their Interest to lose as llttlo of
bo stone's weight as poislblo In
bo cutting procen. Hero things are
ulto different. Wo arc juit now roeut-
Ing a good many of these old Dutch
tones , Ilero la ono you ne , " and the
xpert unwrapped n very fine stone ,
'which weighed U104 cirrats when It
rent np stain to our cutlets and whioh
, ow weighs but 7A carrata , Yet Its vole -
o has been Increased by thlsprocoodure ,
Ithough ita elzo diminished , so that It is
now worth $2,500 , whllo before It was
worth bnt $2,000. There Is a great deal
n the cutting of n stono. The old Eng-
eh single cut , whcro only ono sldo had
scots , whllo the lownr ono was loft In
tralght linosi i out of demand now. A
tone Is cut lu proportion to Its shape
, nd slza , there being vatuablo stones of
ill numbers of facets. Yon see there IB a
; raln to n diamond , juatas much ai there
s to a slab of wood. An export diamond
utter will BOO that grain and cnt the
llamond accordingly. The ahapo of the
tone must bo rrmdo so that the angles
h row the greatest amount of light to
ward the gtzor. Seine slones bavo their
angles cut so that the rays of light con
verge before they roach the oyo. That
s a point which a great many experts
jverlook in purchasing. They will hold
ho stone six incca from their oyoa , in
tend of looking at it from a dlstnno.
A.nd yet the latter Is the proper way , for
liamonds are intended to show brilli
ancy from some diitanco.
"Whero are the largest diamonds found
uat now ? "
"In southern Africa. The mines there
are , ho trover , pretty old , too , and are
letting fairly exhausted. I think that
> mong our undeveloped resources In the
Jnltod Slates diamonds will loom up
argoly before long. The other day I
> ought a 17-karat stone of a man who
lad bought it for § 1 , taking It to bo a
opaz. It wai found near Waukoaua ,
Wls. It had much the appearance of the
South African stonor. Two or three
months ago a party brought mo ono from
Central Iowa. It was a very good stone ,
and I should say that thora must bo more
where that ono came from. I believe
.hero . nro many spots In this country
where diamonds are to bo found. Only
vhcn found the general public wouldn't
jnow them for rough diamonds. "
"How does a rough diamond look ! "
"Generally , it Is a little six-pointed
crystal , or It may look like a roundish ,
aeini-transparont pebble. In Us rongb
state It gonerolly doesn't look as proltj
as a piece of quartz. The opinion of experts -
ports ought to bo had whenever atones
are found satpactcd to bo dia
mends. Search , besides , ought to be
made , not by Individuals , bnt by com
munities , for diamonds ara scarce
wheravcr they are lodged , and many
eyes looking for them are more likely tc
find thorn than ono pair , however keen. "
"What qualifications must a good expert -
pert In diamonds possess ? '
"Experience. A judge of these stonee
must have a constant experience lu order
to enable him to adjust properly and
recogn'sso the various points that glvo D
diamond its value , shape , cnt and color.
Not one in a thousand knows enough
about diamonds to toll if a diamond is
worth $1,000 rr $200. There are verj
fanexports. . Thera ara , of course , quite
a number of them among the dealer ? , bnl
very few outslda of them. The value oi
a stone depends , of course , after all , E
good deal on Individual tastes and
prejudices , and really its market price
is governed more by its relative scarce-
ty than by anything olao. If , for iu <
stance , some prolific mines were discov
ered now yielding lots of fine bluish-
white diamonds they would decline In
prlca , and those oil color , the yellowish
and brownish ones , would rleo. Onlj
10 per cent of the diamonds found are
worthy to be sot la jewelry , you know ,
The rest are refuse stones , which arc
bought up by sharp dealers , who pain
them off afterward on an unsuspecting
public as great bargains. Lots of mot
are tat on In in that way. People thlnl
that they have struck a good thing ane
will keep quiet ibout where they bought
it and how much they paid for it. I
they went to an honeat export ho woule
point out to them the Haws in the stonoi
lhey had purchased BO cheap nnd ahov
they had been swindled. Diamond ,
have always a market pries , and If the ;
are good , marketable stones no doale :
will sell them below the market figure. '

THE GAMBLING UAGE.
A Vlco AlurmlnRly Prevalent In
Moth Continents ,
Philadelphia Preit.
Among the many anecdotes which
make np for doubtfulness of foundation
> y their excellence of invention ia ono
which rolatoa the hiitocr of a visit paid
o n great Wall street "operator" by an
lumblo admirer and ditUnt imitator "on
bo other tide. " It had occurred to the
igonlous English speculator that the In-
nitrlca of the bull and boar might bo
illed with greater profit to their praotl-
lenora on cither Atlantic shore , If an
Englishman and an American were to
rork In concert. He accordingly at once
lastenod to Now York , and having ob-
.ftinod an Interview with Mr. G. or Mr.
V , , or sonio other letter of the alphabet ,
. matters not , when ho proceeded to Uy
loforo that magnate the details of hli
chomo of concerted financial action.
Ir. X. hoard him out with
ho meat pitlont and courteous at-
ontion , and exprocsod his high appro\al
f the Ingenuity of his visitor's plan , lie
aw , ho said , bnt ono obstacle to Ita in-
ontor's securing the corporation which
10 had crossed the ocean to seek , and
hat was that "In America wo never spao-
ilato. " Humbled and abaihod , the Eng-
ish tempter withdrew from the great
nan's pro.sonco , and so awakening was
ho rebuke thus administered him that ,
f report may bo trusted , ho , on reaching
ils native land , immediately retired from
ils questionable buainets and devoted
ho remainder of his days to meditation
, nd charitable works.
If this or anything like it over hap-
icnod , the reply of Mr. X. waa moat
Ikoly only a inoro sally ot dry national
inmor. But It would have been quite
ogltimata to have uttered it by way of
amicably exaggerated protest against a
jopular English notion of the American
haractor. Almost everything transit-
antic is on a larger than the European
calo , and the clement of magnitude gets
confounded with that of number. Amer-
ca produces bigger operations than Eu
rope , just as naturj hai endowed her
ylth broader rivers and vaster plains.
Jargcr fortunes are mode and lost there
jy the methods of speculation , and with
a greater rapidity of bath processes than
's the CIBO on the other side of the At-
antic.
WOMEK WHO SPECULATE.
The descriptions of the "ladies' rooms"
at Chicago in which fair speculators as
sembled dally to "plunge on bacon , "
were , of course , embellished with many
lotalla conceived rather in the aitlatic
: han the historic spirit. Pen and ink
ikotches of the fascinating female gam-
jlera , waiting with palo cheeks and trom-
ollng lips in expectation of a "boom" in
Bra , oilers too strong a temptation to the
olcturesquo reporter to bo resitted. The
British paterfamilias himself perhaps n
lorpotual gambler in "Brighton A's" or
lomo other violently elastic stock ou the
London market , would shako his head
solemnly over proofs of so widespread a
demoralization , and invite hla wife and
daughters to consider what can bo in
store foi a nation in which " ( ho very
ffomen speculate. " Probably ho knows ,
lowovor , or If ho had any acquaintance
with a certain class of English society he
10 would know , that the Chicago lady
gamblers havo. their counterparts in his
ofrn country.
An accommodating frafornity of stock
and share dealers in Capal court have
ilwaya been ready to supply not only
their countrymen , bnt their country
women , with abundant facilities foi
grasofnlly losing their money , and , from
the time when the purchase by the En
glish government of the Suez canal
shares , and tha war which shortly after
wards succeeded it g vo a stimulus to
cupidity , by the sight of the rapid and
extreme fluctuation in the value of cer
tain securities which theio events brought
about , the female "bull1' if the
physiological paradox may bo forgiven
b.as becoino not , indeed , a common phen
omenon in England.
THE ENGLISH TASTE 1'Ott OAMBLINO.
The British Puritan forgets in these
bappy moments of self-approving virtue
that there ia no country in the world In
which ono-hundredth partas much money
changes hands every year in wagers on
the fleetness of a horse's feet ; and that ,
of late years , it must bo eald
too that there is nno In
which the practice of wagering on
horse races baa filtered down tc
so comparatively humble a stratum of the
population. The fortunes that have beer
made within quite a recent date by cer
tain of the cheap sporting newspapers af
ford significant , not to say ominous , tes
timony to the extent to which the taste
for this Ipastimo ono , bo it observed , it
which no largo portion of a community
can profitably participate except by meani
of gambling has developed among al
classes of English society.
But bolting upon horse races is no
the only form of speculation which hai
gained ground of late yearn in England
Members of the stock exchange havi
much to say concerning a certain nov
departure in their own business ; and , in
deed , on that point the advertising col
nmns of the London nowspapoiBtell | thel ;
own tali ? . The racing "tipster" wll
soon bo "nowhere" by the eido of thi
disinterested gentlemen who nndertaki
to guide Credulity to Fortune by a patl
warranted to keep cloir of the preclplci
Risk. On this latter point they nro , al
of them , confident. Only lot an intend
Ing speculator send them "cover" to i
certain amount as broker' security
ity , of cousro , against possible loss a
tbo game at which it is impoeslble t
laosa and they will pledge thomsolve
to return him 100 for every sovereign
1,000 for every 10 , and so on in pro
portion. It la true that there Is a llttli
disagreement between the "single opera
tors" and those who style thomselve
promoters of the formation of "ayndl
cates" the two competitors for the dupi
patronage indignantly describing oael
other' * operations , no doubt with perfec
truth , in o ch case as "certain to roeul
in loss. " This .estimate of the Intclli
gences to which they bollovo themeolvei
to bo appealing Is humorously illnstratei
by a remark of ono advertiser to tin
etl'dct that ho "is often asked by clleni
whether buying and selling tbo ( ami
stocks at the same time would not be i
remunerative ) operation. " He would bi
glad , he continues with admirable grav
Ity , "to give detailed reasons agalns
this theory , but will only say now that i
invariably ends In losses. "
BUAIU'S AND TllEJ.Il VICTIMS.
Nothing could bo more impregnabli
than the proposition that to pay half i
crown per cent for 'ho privilege of trsns
ferring B certain sum of money from oni
pocket to the other "Invariably ends Ii
loisos ; " but the client who should re
quire "detailed reasons" In support o
this proposition before accepting It mus
olcsaly resemble that person whose heat
Inspired Charles Lamb with to Irreprcail
ble a desire to feel it. Undoubtedly hi
Scandal adviser has read his intollectai
character more accurately than any pbrt
nologlst ; bnt ho Is probably only a fair
sample ot these whom from advertise
ments of thla kind extract money. The
enlly and unpleasantly interesting pirt
> f the matter It that the number of
heso persons mutt bo very considerable * ,
otherwise the "Stock '
or exchange 'lip-
tec' " could not thrive ; that thrive ho
oos seems manifest enough from the mnl-
iplication of his advertisements. A year
> r two ago there was not such a thing to
10 seen among the business announce
ments of our newspapers : now they fill
rholo columns with the explanation oi
heir systems and promises of the profit
which they hold out , and now names
ecm to make their appearance every
voek. From the success and develop
ment of this now industry discouraged
a it Is , It must bo remembered , by the
more orthodox members of the Stock Ex-
han o , who regard U partly as unprofes-
lonal touting and partly as calculated to
nsptro a not quite unmerited distrust in
boir own methods of business it is 1m-
losaiblo not to draw inferences highly un-
avorablo to any Pharisaic comparison of
Cngland with other nations in the matter
f gambling. The probability Is that
no nation is very much like another in
ila respect , and that England , if no
letter , is no worse than her ndlghbora.
'ho ' fragile fabric of which her house is
milt is not so very conspicuous that any
no noad call attention to it on its own
iconnt , bnt then she should leave off
irowing stones.

tld. The jiold was 291i ! pounds ot milk
n aovon daye , from which waa produced
4 pounds and 1& ounoos of butter , and
which when salted amounted 46 pounds
and 12A ounces. This performance-
under the auspices of a special cammitteo
if the American Jersey Cattle Club , the
eat beginning at 6 05 P. M. on Sunday
bvonlng , February 22 , when the cow was
milked In the presence of the committee ,
n order to clear the udder for the trial.
On the Monday following aho was milked
at 3 o'clock A. M. , which , practically ,
was the first milking for tie
experiment and during the contin
uance of the teat she wat
milked regularly three times a day , the
lours being 3 A. M. , 11 A. M. and 7 P.
ill. , or an Interval of eight hours betwoer
each milking , except tbo last day , when
she was milked at G 05 P. M. , in order
.0 correspond with the time of the pro-
imlnary milking. She rraa milked al
ntorvals of eight hours for the reason
-hat her udder would not hold the milk
she was capable of producing in twelve
hours. The butter was carefully weigh'
od , and salted in the proportion of an
ounce of salt to each pound of butter.
The cow also proved herself to bo above
ho average as a milker , she yielding a
"motion over 42 pounds and 12 ounce ;
daily , or about 21 quarts , .while her average -
ago dally production of butter ( , Tns a
'ruction over G pounds and 10 ounces ; oi
at the rate of about ono pound of buttoi
"or every GJ pounds of milk. To glvo it
n quarts w1 > will state that a pound ol
nittor was produced from ICES than 3J
saarto of. milk. The first four
laya of the test she produced 2B
pounds and 5 ounces of salted
jnttor , which Is greater than the rocorde
of many remarkable cowa for a whole
week , and during the latter three days ol
bcr test she produced 21 pounds and <
ounces of nnsalted butter.
The feeding during Iho teat waa done
regularly , and coca'stod dally of twenty-
two quarts of ground oats , fifteen quarti
of pea meal , one quart of wheat bran ,
and two quarts of linseed oil cake ( fortj
quarts ) with as much hay , carrots and
ocets as she could oat. This amount is t
largo quantity ; but the cow has oxcollonl
digestive capacity , her appetite was con
stantly good , and she always showed i
disposition to consume all that was al
lowed her. She la a young cow , bein {
only 8 years old , having been calved or
February 21 , 1877. She was sired bj
Khedive , a Cotnassio bull , her dam be inc.
Princess , a cow of the Welcome strain ,
Her weight IB 1125 pounds ,
snd she dropped her las !
calf on December 31,1884 , or seven and
a half weeks before the beginning of the
test , and in order to prepare her for the
trial she was given six weeks of verj
ilgh feeding , which largely contributed
to her success.
A few months ago the Record chron
[ clod the marvelous feat of Mary Anne o !
Sr. Lamberts , who produced 35 poundi
of butter in a week. Five years ago i
cow that could produce 20 pounds of batter
tor in ono week was considered a re
markoblo one , but that limit waa yrad
ually exceeded until the Hoist eln cov
Mercedes reached 30 pounds a week
which stood unchallenged until beaten b ;
Mary Anno. Princess 2d had made i
previous record of 27 pounds 10 ounce
of salted butter in ono week , and , thougl
considered a strong rival of Maiy Anne
yet no ono was prepared for her la ? '
rncord of 40 pounds , 12 onnco ] , which i
11 pounds greater than any over bofon
attained.
The result proves that wo can assigi
no certain limit to the capacity of ou
animals , for such a test gives bnt littl
indication what Princess wonld do 01
grass alone , but It demonstrates what cai
be done by good management , Althongl
a largo quantity of food waa consumed
the cow did not waste it , but converted
into a valuable product. In that resppc
she was a superior butter-making machin
requiring no greater spice and care thai
an inferior animal , and demonstrate ]
the Importance of skill and knowledge 01
the part of these who make dairying ;
specialty. She is also the result of jn
diclous breeding , demonstrating the frutl
of the old maxim that "blood will tell.
Her famous record should stimulate Ira
provement all over the country.
