In now considering this matter and
those who look it up promptly will find
it to their advantage.
Many persons wonder why the Gar-
ment cutter is attracting so much atten-
tion. If they will only examine the sys-
tem and see what it is and then consider
the manner in which the company does
business they will readily understand
why it is attracting this attention. For
_, no article now before the public is more
useful and few. if any, more profitable
to the person in the business.
‘ Any article that is a household neces-

that sells well, if the profit is large and
competition is little or none at all, must
alwaysbe desirable to handle. In this

This being the case, it is for-the individual
members-of the public to decide whether
they will aid the setting of absurd styles
by adopting them or help to destroy them
by Ignoring them. The Princess of Wales
is considered by English women the pat-
tern of good taste and faltldiouaness. as
far as dress is concerned, and otherwise,
for that matter. but she always avoids ex~
travagant fashions and modifies the styles
to suit her own ideas of what ls boom lng

to the fascination of novelty merely as
novelty. There is no woman in this man:
try who can be to Americans what the
Princess of Wales is to English women,
but this is an advantage, for it compels
every woman to be her own princess and
decide for homelf what Is polite and fitting.

Ber Ticket Sixteen Years Old.
The fare from West Hampton, N. Y., to
Middletown, on the New York, Lake Erie
and Western railroad, is 10 cents. I was
aboard a train which stopped at West
Hampton the other day, and my attention
was attracted by a prim old maid ”who
stepped aboard there. ,
One could assert with safety. after a
glance at her bonnet and shawl, that both
had done service for many years. Com
ductor Mandaville stopped at her seat to
get her ticket. She found it after some
time in an old fashioned pocketbook, the
flaps of which were held together by an
elastic band. He smiled as he looked at
the ticket, and when I inquired about it
he passed It over for my inspection. It
bore the date, “May 8, 1880."
“Ten cents," he said. “And it's been
guarded 16 years. I’ll but there's no
mortgage on the house she lives in." .
I wondered why the ticket had not been
used before. .

”ROW!” FOR A HOMO
sun's (lane of Aged Peepers in he lag.
link Alma noun.
A London dnpatch to the Sun con-
tains the following account of a schema
of English paupmu to get into better
quarters: ‘
A marriage epidemic has broken out
among the ancient paupers of Hemp
stead, one of the parishes of London.
and the guardians of the poor are at
their wit's and. it stems that'they un-
wittingly put a premium upon matri-
mony by erecting comfortable, coeey
quarters for married couples. These.
are far nicer than the general work
house. The English law forbids the
separation of businiud and wife flan
past sixty. There are about in pan-
pors of both sexes who are above that
age in the ilampstead werkhoule.
When they saw the home‘likr. well
furnished rooms in the married couples'
building they grew envious and took
counsel among themselves. Finally
Mr. Pigeon Hill, a heary~headed pan-
per. and a female inmate equally an-
tique got married on their afternoon
out. They returned and applied for
married quarters. The guardians re
fused at first. but were advised that
they had no choice but to comply. They
declared that they would rather break
the law than be jet-keyed in such a
fashion. and have lodged an appeal with
the local Government Board. Mean
time more titan a score of additional
matches have been arranged pending
the decision of the authorities on the
fate of the first couple.
A FORTUNATE FIND-
A Bond Wills Thirty Years' Interest Pre-
sented for Payment.
An application has been made to the
City Treasurer to pay the principal and
interest on a bond issued .by the city
over thirty years ago, and of the exist-
ence of which all the parties concerned
were ignorant until lately. The bond
is one of the series of thirty year bounty
bonds issued by the city under date of
March 30,1805, for the sum of $400, with
interest at 6 per cent. It was found by
accident among the effects of the late
C. A. Meurer, by his heirs. and pre-
sented to the City Treasurer for pay-
ment. Mr. Oeliera referred the heirs to
the city's fiscal agent. the Farmers’ and
Mechanics‘ Bank. but as the'bank was
not made the city's agent until 1872.'it
had no account of the band. A search
of the records in the vaults of the City
Treasury convinced the Treasurer that
the bond was genuine, though it had
never been. registered, and no interest
had been paid iipen it.
The bond. with the accumulated in.
tereet for thirty years, is worth $1,120.
It will require an appropriation by
Councils to pay the entire debt, as the
only money now on hand that can be
applied to such apurpose is $324, the
balance of an appropriation made some
time ago to pay unclaimed interest from
July 1, 1872, to July 1, 1885, which will
be used to pay a part of the claim, leav-
ing $796 to be appropriated by Coun-
cils.—Philadelphiu Ledger.
THiE DIAMOND SUPPLY.
English Capitalists f'entrol Almost the
Entire Field.
Are the diTi'tmmd mines of the world » -
inexhaustible? or will the time come
when diamond diggers shall have dis-
covered the but of nature's store of
carbon in its allotropic form? Certain
scientists argue that nature does not
transform decomposed matter into dia-
monds rapidly enough to keep pace with
the miners.
There is a corporation in London
which believes these Scientists. Most
of the diamonds today are mined in
South Africa. The Englishmen who
work the South African fields particu
larly have a monoptdy. With the pool-
ing of their interests competition has
stopped. Barney Barn-ate is reputed to
have effected the consolidation; at any
rate it exists. The output of the mines
is distributed to the world by way of
the London corporation. The diamonds
are shipped in the rough from the Kaflir
seaports.
Diamond merchants everywhere know
that but a part of the annual output 0 .
the mines reaches the trade. -
Where is the other part? The answer
to that question is in the vaults of the
London Company. For stored there are
stones in the rough of incalcuable value.
Millions on millions of pounds are re-
presented by the contents of those four
