"The finest diamonds always hold their own in value." said a Yankee Mr. Isaacs" recently. 'Certain mines vield choice, colorlcs stones that are always iu demand. Of course prices vary in gems that are not up to a tine standard. The steel white dia mond, for instance, which no one can describe, not even Uscar vviiue. is con siderably higher than the average white stone, which suffers by com parison with one that scintillates with that intense brilliancy of watery tints. A suWtle lustre, 1 might say, distin guishes all diamonds found in alluvial soil. Hold up what is commonly call ed the 'pigeon blood' rubv bv the side of an inferior one and the difference will be obvious. It is the same wiili emeralds ana the peacock hi tie, sap phires. Our custom altogether de mands selected gems." Are there anv marked changes in the style aud character of settings of late?" "The settings for diamonds are plainer than heretofore. The most precious are set with very little gold. They say every cloud has a silver lin ing." and so does almost every cheaper grade of stones." "Do you mind quoting some of your stock prices? "Not in the least. The ruby you know, is the most expensive of all stones, in our stock they vary from $100 to $7,000 per stone. The finest pair of diamonds we have had this season are worth $13,000. Then we have single stones rauging from $1, 000 to $3,000." "What are prevailing styles?" "Well, crescents aud triple cents are quite popular, but the quise takes the lead at present. cres-roar-Tha hoop or gypsy ring has long been the favorite among English women, and their American sisters are adopting it. Sometimes as many as four of these rings adorn one slender linger. The usual combination, however, is a sap phire, a diamond and a ruby, or for young girls the choice is a pearl and a turquoise.. Recently there has been a craze for so-called 'pinkie' rings for the little fiuser. Every woman who has any pretension to fashion in jewelry wears one or more of them. Friendship' rings are popular, because they may be presented with propriety by a young man to a young woman without any reference to an engage ment between them. Seal rings, so much in vogue a few years back, are not worn nowadays bv those who fol low the decrees of stvle. Neither are bangle rings tiny longer worn except bv schoolgirls. "Iu the fancy jewels there are the spinel, cat's-eve and pearls, some of the latter weighing ninety grains. We have made for several brides pearl necklaces with strings holding seventy pearls, each one worth from $01) to $100. New York is the most liberal market of anv in the country for dia monds, as it is for other commodities. iV. X. Hcrild. The value of land in Berlin has in creased 85 per ceut iu the last te years. Directions Not Explicit Enough. "Well, my boy," said the old gen tleman. "I understand you ve been lighting." "I was in something of a scrap, re plied the youth. "Well, I suppose boys will fight, and there's no use trying to stop it. You don't look much the worse for it." Got off pretty light, sure," said the boy. Lick the other fellow?" "Well, hardly." "Um, that's bad. Did you follow your old father's advice?" "Yes. sir."' "You struck the first blow?" Yes. sir." "And hit him hard?'' t "As hard as I could." Knocked him down?"' "Knocked him fl.tt." "And that didn't end the fight?" -"Well. X should say not." -j The old gentleman looked puzzled. "That's funny." he said. "I never knew it to fail when I was a boy." - "Maybe, when you were a boy. the other fellow didn t fall on a brick pile and get up with half a brick in bis hand and chase you a mile. That'll knock most any kind of system silly." (Jhirago Tribune. Of the 44. 000 lady teachers in Franoe, 11,000 axe Sisters. , w ROPING THE WOLF. Cowboy's Lively Kxperlenee on Backing Broncho's Back. Perry Stiff, a cowboy employed on George W. Baxter's ranch, was i"n town yesterday, says the Cheyenne Leader, with three gray wolf skins and three coyote skins, all of which netted him $26.25. The county pays $3 bounty for wolf scalps "and 75 cents for coyotes, and the Stockmen's Protec tive association pays $5 for wolves. Baxter's ranch is about fifty miles northeast of here on Little Horse creek. Mr. Stiff says there are plenty of wolves there. The skins be brought in yesteeday were from wolves which he roped while riding the ranges. As a wolf-huuter the cowboy has so far been more successful than the mem bers of the Cheyenne Wildcat club, and his experience with the animals is much more thrilling. Recently, while riding a broncho, Mr. Stiff saw a pack of wolves chasing a bunch of horses, in the rear of which was an old mare and colt, the object of the chase being fresh colt meat. Si iff got behind a hill, and as the frightened horses (lew by he put the spurs to his broncho, and, sing ling out the biggest wolf iu the pack, made the chase. As the cowboy's horse was fresh and tie wolf already pretty tired it was not long until the noose was dropped over the head of the big gray. The animal's fore feet went through the loop, how ever, aud the rope tightened around his body in such a way that he was able to make a stong pull. Finding himself at the end of the rope the brute, after failing to cut it with his sharp teeth, made a dash for liberty in another direction. lhe movement drew the rope about the broncho's hind legs and tail, and the natural result was some very hard bucking. Be tween the bucking horse and the wolf Stiff had his attention pretty well taken up. He held to the bucking strap, and finally got straight with the wolf at the end of the rope and square in front of the horse. By this time the wolf refused to run, but sat up, and, showing his long, sharp teeth, was ready for a tight. This was just what the cowboy wanted. Riding up close to his woltship to get as much slack as possible, be turned quickly and ap plied the spurs. When the rope tightened the wolf turned a couple of somersaults and was almost broken in two, but the rope held firm to the saddle-horn. By a series of such maneuvering the wolt was finally worn out and dragged to the ranch. i!7r. Stiff says he has seen as high as nine wolves in a pack last summer. Not long ago four of them killed a calf in Baxter's pasture. Stiff made a suggestion to another cowboy that while the animals were full of calf meat was a good time to chate them down. The suggestion was acted upon, and after a chase of nearly three miles a big fellow was caught. Mr. Stiff also roped three an telopes during the summer, lie says that if the Cheveune boys will come out they can have plenty of sport. Wolves are seen every day and there would be no trouble in getting up chase with bounds. Expert Coin Handlers. There are men and women in New York who handle money in small quantities, from five to ninety-five cents, who acqotre a skill and dex terity absolutely marvellous. They are cashiers of restaurants, popular dining and lunch rooms, where the rush is very great at certain hours during the day and where everything in the shape of payment comes along io what is called "change that is, in amounts less than $1 and never uni form. It may be a young girl or a young man. who never had anv lormer ex- erience in handling coin or notes, but he or she becomes so expert that it makes an ordinary business man a bead swim , to watch them. One of these lightning change artists, a red headed young man named Havward, .who is in a big lunch room near the Post Utlice, has a long standing wager of $10,000 that he can beat anybody- making change bar none. And that young man is certainly wonderful. lie has the touch of instinct. .Like those of many women in the re demption bureau of the Treasury at Washington his motions are too swift for the ordinary eye. to count, saying nothing of the money feature. But the work of the Treasury woman ex pert counter is with round numbers and bills alone; his involves constant ly varying amounts of minor coin and bills together. Certain hours of every day will find an unbroken line of cus tomers with lunch checks and money passing the cashier's desk. To see young Havward manipulate those checks and coins and bills is a curi osity Bad money? I can tell a bad coin at the touch," said he. "Dimes are the most common counterfeits. Anybody can tell bad money, time enough, but I've become able to detect at the touch not rubbing. I haven't time for that in a flash too quick for the eye. I conldn't explain it, and to know any thing is quicker than to see it. There are bad dimes passed here every day. Most of them by our regular customers and with unquestionable innocence. No, we'd rather lose the money than call such a man back before the crowd and charge him with passing a counterfeit. And there' d be twenty people blocked up here in front of me in two minutes. It wouldn't pay. Ranc,e? I haye everything and every combination from a two cent piece to a fifty dollar note every day of the year we run. It must be done instantaneously. No bank note de tectors or consultations or compar isons or any of that sort of thing. And mostly from a lot of people you never know anything about. It ought to make a man expert, anyhow." X. Y. Herald. An English naturalist has discovered proofs that the bedbug was quite com mon in the armies of the world at least 120 years before the Chistian era, and that he was ever a sea rover, as the fleets of that day had their timbers stocked with this breed of nocturnal prowler.". Bo Remodeled. "The days of the street car, grips M well as trailers, having the seats ar ranged crosswise instead of parallel with the car, are numbered." This remark was made a few days ago by a well known Chicago physician who is the medical examiner for an accident insur ance company which insures the lives of many street car employees as well as patrons. "Why do you say that?" was the query of a friend. "For this reason the cars built with the seats crosswise almost invariably have footboards running alongside so that the passenger may get on or off the car 'at any spot in the road, as the sport ; would say, and these footboards facili I tate a passenger in getting into danger. ! For instance, the rules of all the cat ! companies rcvpiire the passenger to get on or off the car on the side nearest the sidewalk. This rule was intended to keep the people off the track of the car going in the opposite direction. But these rules are not obeyed, and street car companies must pay damages when any one is hurt, and the conductor has no opportunity to stop bis car if the passenger takes a notion to get off with out signaling him to stop, and many peo ple are injured while getting off a cat while it is in motion sometimes by be ing struck by a vehicle or another car, sometimes by slipping ou the treacher ous footboard or by making some kind of a misstep. I "The car with the end door as the only means of exit is the one which protects the company from many damage suits. The open car with the running foot board may be cheaper in construction, but statistics will show that nine-tenths of the accidents caused by getting on and off cars occur on open cars or grips with the cross seats and running foot boards. I think there 6hould be a city ordinance against their use. Besides, the street car companies will some day awaken to the fact that cars of that style sometimes cause in one minut damage equal to their first cost." Chi cago Times. Albert Edward's Slumming: Experience. There are just now stories flying about of the Prince of Wales visiting the "slums" under a rather comical disguise, but though it is known that the prince, accompanied by Lord Carrington, mad himself acquainted with the "seamy" side of life, very little art was required to conceal his identity. Indeed, it is surprising, though Englishmen are as a rule familiar, more or less, with the ap pearance of their future sovereign, how often his presence in a place where he is not expected passes without recognition. Some years ago the prince, quite in cognito, traveled down to Folkestone to meet Princess Louise, who was coming over from the Continent, and as there was some time to wait before the arrival of the steamer, he strolled about on the quay and ultimately went out with a boatman of local fame for a Bhort cruise in the channel. When they got safely back the prince remarked, "Perhaps you would like to know who I am?" "I don't know as I cares; it ain't no odds to me," came the reply. "Well, I'm the Prince of Wales." "The Prince of Wales!" ejaculated the old mariner, giving his customer a play ful dig in the ribs. "Get along with yerl" London Cor. Chicago Times. A Storehouse of Electricity. Minnesota, not to be behindhand in marvels, tells of an electric well which one of its citizens claims to have been discovered near Red Wing recently. Ac cording to the story the drillers had drilled about 150 feet when they lost their drill rods and a diamond drill. The whole business had dropped to no where in an instant. There was quite a force of air coming out of the hole, and the men said there was no use going any farther, because there wasn t any bot tom. They concluded to fish for the rods and drill, but as soon as the rods were dropped into the hole they began to shiver in a queer way. One of the men took hold of the bar with a pair of leather gloves, and he was knocked down. Then Holly well touched the rope and got a shock, because it was wet. There seems to be a perfect natu ral storehouse of electricity. It is gen erated in some way in that pocket where the drills went, and there is enough of it to execute a whole countv at once un der the New York law. Philadelphia Ledger. A Grand Old Commoner. Though, essentially a modest man, Mr. Smith had a certain pride of his own. Public rumor was always conferring peerage upon him, and I suppose that had he lived he would have accepted one. But he was proud of his inde pendent and "self made" position as a wealthy commoner. "You see," he said to me, "I have no aristocratic connec tions, no family interests; indeed, I haven't a male relative alive except my own boy. 1 am completely unprejudiced and unfettered." He was aware of th6 advantage this gave him. He was rich and a plebeian, and his colleagues had confidence in him accordingly as a strong administrator. Pall Mall Gazette. Question of Telephone Charges. A proposal has been made by Dr. Strecker, of Berlin, which seems to solve the question of telephone charges. He proposes to levy a fundamental charge to meet the expenses for installation, maintenance and depreciation, in addi tion to a time charge, to meet the work ing expenses. Nothing could be fairer than to charge for the use of the tele phone according to the duration of con versation, and Dr. Strecker proposes to use a clock which goes as long as the con versation lasts. New York Telegram. A New Way to Throw Rice. A practical joke which the best man at an autumn wedding perpetrated was to deliver to the porter of the parlor car in which he saw them off a sealed telegraph envelope with instructions to deliver it at a certain station. The darky duly did so and the groom broke the seal to have a small avalanche of rice pour throngb his fingers. New York Times.
