Do You Rent Your Diamonds?
For the sake of this story just imagine for
a little while that you are a person on :1 small
salary- —ol’ course, you’re not, but admit it
for a few moments—and that you receive an
invitation to a swcll banquet, a charity ball,
or a swell reception.
Now what are you going to do to make
yourself look as well dressed as the other fol—
lows, who have more money than you?
It is admitted that you have a dress suit,
but how about diamond studs for your shirt
front or sparkling earrings for your wife?
You haven’t any. Your means will not ad—
mit of your buying; them. You don’t have
to. Just rent all the brilliants you want.
There’s a big jewelry house on Wabash ave—
nue that. makes a specialty of renting: jewel-
ry. You can’t miss it, if you follow direc-
tions and take elevator and get off at the sec-
ond floor. You drop a word into the ear of
a young lady attendant. and a smiling young
clerk appears.
“W'c can rent you anything from a tiny
scarf pin to a four carat brilliant,” says this
young fellow, talking volubly, as he leads the
way to the. counter. “Yes,” he ‘adds, in re-
sponse to a 'question, “on r business is increas—'
ing rapidly. People who want diamonds in a
hurry for some big swell affair, you know,
can get ’cni hero in no time. We don’t keep
many stones set, because most everybody has
different ideas about how they want a setting:
made, and we can mount. a stone on a few
hours’ notice. The renting of diamonds is a
new feature in Chicago, but it is and has been
quite an industry in New York. A great

for special occasions, because they can have

Amateur Photography.
Some people have queer ideas about ama-
teur photography. Occasionally some one
says to me: “I believe I’ll take a week off
and learn the business;” and another, “I’ve
got 23:30 to invest in it, and I want you to
pick me up a 'first~class outfit. ” To the one I
would say, “You would be wasting your time,”
and to the other, “Better save your money.”
It takes months. and for most people years,
to become proficient enough in the practice
of photography to get any solid enjoyment
out of it. And as for cost, while it is not
really an expensive pleasure as compared
with other as valuable accomplishments, as at-
isfactory complete outfit for general work

amateurs spend twice that amount before
they get apparatus for the successful practice

Cider for the Ladies.
Cider is strongly recommended as adrink
for women. It is slightly alcoholic, quite
stimulative, and the acids in it render it very '
beneficial to the action of the liver. In this
respect it possesses great advantages ovt-r all
malt preparations, which invariably have a
bilious and bloating tendency. (.‘ider cup

The route that they laid out took them over

Leadvillc
The third day out they saw that a storm
was brewing, and, not wishing to be caught
on the flat tops, they rushed their animals
through, but night came before they reached
a valley, and they were obliged to camp on
the high ground.
snug for the night, and, wishing that the
storm would blow over, they wrapped them-
selves in their blankets and laid down to re-t.
-About midnight they were awakened from
, their sleep by the bowling of the wind, which
‘ wliistled through the trees under which they
camped. The heavens were black, and the
two men knew that the storm would soon de-
scend. They had not long,r to wait before the
. first (lake of snow fell, and the storm broke
.
!
with terrific force No one who has never
spent a night on flat tops during a snow
storm can form any idea of the velocity at
which the wind travels, and how dreary and
lonesome the surrounding country becomes.
The two men wcre by this time thoroughly
aroused to the danger of their position, and
longed for daylight to appear. By this time
the snow was falling thickly, and was being
whirlcd hither and thither by the ever chang-
in;r \T '1. Morning at last dawned, and they
started out in search of their animals in the
face of the awful blizzard, determined to
leave the country at all hazards. Their prob-
ress was slow, as the snow ha i drifted heavi-
ly, and, when they came to where they had
turned their .iorses loose the previous even—
ing, the animals had left.
'W hen the storm started the stock started
before it, and, by the time the prospectors
reached where they should have been, the
animals were some miles away. The men
kept on trailing them, and, when evening
was approaching, they were nearly played
out, and made up their minds to camp. It
was a long and weary tramp, and when half
the distance was traveled they had to give it
up, and made camp for the night under a
sheltering pine tree.
A SOLITARY HATCH.
One of the men was completely played out
and could not go a step further, and, al—
though it was bitterly cold when the spot to
camp was selected, be stretched himself out
on the ground thoroughly exhausted and
cared not whether he died or lived. His
companion being stronger started to get
some wood together, and encouraged his
companion with cheering words. He knew
that if he did not get a fire started pretty
soon his partner would freeze to death. It
did not take long to collect the firewood, cut
some shavings and have everything in readi-
ness to start the fire. He put his hand in his
pocket, when to his horror the matchsafe
was gone.
Every pocket was searched, but not a match
could he find. He rifled the pockets of his
friend with the same result. The realization
of the. awful position he was placed in struck
him, and he knew that without a fire certain
death stared his companion in the face, if not
himsel ’. Once more he searched, and, to his
joy. found one solitary match in his vest
nickct. The wind was still blowing and
snow drifting. W'ould he succeed in kind-
ling the fire? was the question he asked him-
sclf.
Under a fallen log he found some dry,
withered grass and twigs, which he care-
fully put in his hat; he whittled some more
shavings. procured more small twigs, and,
milk r. prayer on his lips, knelt down, lit the
match. applied it to the grass, saw it sud-
denly blur-:e up and as suddenly go out; but
before it did one of the shavings had ignited,
the flame extended to the rest and to the
twigs.
“Then they blazed up he knew that the]?
were saved. Logs were. piled on, and the
hardy prospector turned his attention to his
friend, whom he lifted up and carried to the
fire. The warmth soon revived him, and all
that dreary night the two sat before the fire,
every now and again throwing a fresh log on,
afraid to sleep for fear of being frozen. When
morning came the storm had passed, and they
started out after their stock, which, fortu—
nately for them, they found not far from their
improvised cabin. On returning to their first
camp they enjoyed a substantial meal, and
after bucking snow a whole afternoon they
succeeded in getting off the flat tops.
Their awful experience they'never will for-
get, and they are firmly convinced that a
match saved their lives.—Leadville Herald

Manufacture of Tin Soldiers.

which thousands are thrown away every
month, form the basis for an industry which
has reached vast proportions, and in which
the entire youth of the country are interested.
These refuse cans are taken and stamped into
tin soldiers by suitable machines, and thus

are formed, and are sold so cheaply that the

Ioelandio Houses.
The Icelandic farmhouse, outside the few
seaports. with isolated exceptions, consists of
a series of one story structures placed longi-
tudinally side by side,with,broad intervening
walls of sods rising up to the gables. The
side and rear walls are composed of long
strips of turf, from twenty inches to two feet
in width, laid one upon the other to the height
of perhaps six or eight feet. Stones also are
frequently used in connection with the turf,
and not rarely the bones of sheep. Upon
these walls rest the rafters, and on these, in
turn, crossboards sufficient to support strips
of sod. The front of the house may be con-
structed altogether of turf, or of turf and
stones (this is rare), or of turf and boards, or
wholly of boards. This space is pierced with
one, two or more windows. The roof turf, of
course, soon forms «one whole, verdant or
withered, according to the conditions of the
atmosphere, and very likely dotted with
flowers. ,
Similarly the turf walls. A raven or a dog
perchel upon the end of the roof, and form-
ing an animate ornamental addition thereto,
is not an uncommon sight. The main en-
trance is usually through a structure stand—
ing midway in the (troop, often merely a
roofed passage.

The Drawings of Daisy lives.
In my opinion, there is not another person
in America, with the possible exception of
Grey Parker, who can draw horses like her.
And Parker‘s horses seem much alike. They?
lack individuality and expression. They are
pretty and correct, especially in their trap—
pings and the vehicles which they pull, but
they lack character. It is here that Miss
Daisy is strongest. The changing moods of
the horse are to her an open book. In every
horse she ever delineated she put individual—
ity (something better than more physical for-
mation or l'icauty—a horse soul). His face,
his eye, his posture curried expressiveness.
Here is Pretty One watching Mrs. Olianlcr
approach, with aluinp of sugar or an apple
in her hand. The smile of expectancy, of
eagerness, is as plain in Pretty One’s face,
and as natural as if Pretty One Were a child.
Here is Jackanapci: in a rage. All the pic-
tures of angry horses I had ever seen had a
sameness about them—the flashing eye, the
leveled cars, the twitching upper lip. This
picture has all those and something more——
something indescribable and yet instantly
recognizable. In short, the touch of genius.

Country of the Upper Nile.
For the first 500 or 600 miles of its course,
from the Victoria N yanza. to a point some-
where north of Ludo, the Nile is known to
the Arabs as the Bahr-el-Gebel, the River of
the Mountains. This is the most beautiful
part of the river. The country is diversified
with mountains and forests, green hillsides
and bright brooks. For stretches of many
miles the river is broad and slow. In other
parts are wooded islands and foaming rapids.
About half way between the Victoria Ny-
anza and Lado the Nile flows through the
northern end of the Albert Nyanza. About
twenty-five miles above the Albert lake are
the Murchison falls. Below the lake for more
than 100 miles, the stream is broad and placid,
traversing a comparatively level country
and always navigable for vessels drawing
four or five feet. In this part of its course,
about forty miles below the Albert lake, it
passes W'adelai.—Col. H. G. Front in Scrib-

Laugh and Grow Fat.
Fat people get plenty of suggestions as to
how they may reduce their flesh, but as there
are more thin people than fat in the world, a
word of advice to them may not be out of
place. According to excellent authority, they
must sleep all they can : keep early hours f01
retiring; lie down in the middle of the day;
drink a great deal of water; eat heartily,
especially of farinaceous food; take plenty of
exercise, but in moderation. Be cheerful.
Sterne says that “every time a man laughs,
he adds something to his life.” And, accord—
ing to Solomon, “A merry heart doeth good
like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth
the bones.”
Follow the old adage, “Laugh and grow
fat.”
Solid Sulphuric Acid.
A German patent has been taken out for a
process of transporting sulphuric acid in a
solid state. Certain salts—such as alkaline
sulphates—give up their water of crystalliza—
tion when heated, and take it; up again when
cool, and such a salt is mixed in an anhydrous
condition with a calculated quantity of the
acid. The mixture becomes granular, or may
be formed into cakes, and when heated the
whole liquefies, and may be used as ordinary
sulphuric acid, the presence of the bisulphate
of soda or like salt having no effect—Ex-
change.

The memories that come down through a

the subsequent career of the man with the

declare that, for purposes of snuff taking, he
had the very finest nose in the world, but
that to be caught in a heavy shower, without
an umbrella, was tantamount to drowning.

About Reading Newspapers.
I see that Bishop Foss in his address to the
class seeking admission to conference, ad—
vised the young ministers to give scanty at—
tention to the daily newspapers.
But I must certainly disagree with this
episcopal dictum, for I think the wise read—
ing of the daily newspapers is a symmetrical
education. W'hile things slip in sometimes
which ought to be passed by, the editors of a
great newspaper have the true Midas touch,
and know the gold of promise from the brass
of profession. There is no noble sentiment,
no true strain of poetry, no sonorous word fit
to roll round the world, no gem of thought
but finds its way at last into the columns of
the daily press. The newspaper is a fresh
photograph of human life—oh, has it not
depth of meaning for the noblest sermon? I
read often the advertisements of the paper,
and find in them the wit, power and also the
pathos of life. I thank the daily press for
the living sermons it has given me. As on
autumn‘s day the wind shakes the trees and
the leaves fall down and make an amethys-
tiue and golden floor, so this great tree, the
press, shaken every day, sheds down its white
leaves upon the world—leaves of knowledge;
leaves of healing.
When I see a young minister who wisely
reads the daily paper 1 am sure he is growing
in grace, at least on that spot where it is
thought the average minister is sadly deli-
cicut.—Cltrgyman in Pittsburg Dispatch.

own accord find their way to a newspaper
office, so as to be on hand when the foreman
howls for copy?” “If toe goods were not pro-
tected the (ICEIIL'I‘S would lose by petty thefts

“Rats."
No, not the slang phrase, but the bother-
some little rodent. Rats are natives of Asia
and their raids westward belong to compara-
tively modern times. The little animal was
unknown in ancient Europe. The black rat
first came to Europe from Asia in the six-
teenth century, and about the beginning of
the seventeenth or the ending of the sixteenth
century he arrived in America. This black
rat was the common house rat until the brown
or gray rat made his appearance in 1775. The
gray rat came. to Europe from India by way
of Russia, and is now known as the Norway
rat from a mistaken tradition that it came
from Norway to Engkiml, and from the latter
country to America—St. Louis Republic.
Speaking Pictures.
The picture gallery of the f uturc is likely
to be an apparatus for exhibiting asuccession
of instantaneous photographs as a moving
picture of the person represented, this appa-
ratus being so geared with the phonograph
that as the latter gives the individual’s speech
the former will reproduce his gestures and
facial expression. By such means an absent
actor, for example, might be brought before
an audience, or when present he might wit-
ness the reproduction of his own acting. This
combination of phonograph and photograph
is a suggestion lately made to the French
academy by M. G. Gueroult, but experiments
with a similar arrangement were made about
a year and a half ago by M. A. Bandsept, ol
Brussels—Exchange.
The Correct Use of A and An.
Discriminate in the use of aand an. A
should be used before words beginning with
an aspirated h, when the accent falls on the
second syllable, and not an. Say “a histor-
ical novel,” “a heroic act.” The plea for this
usage among us, although it may not always
be euphonious, is based on the fact that
in America. the h is properly aspirated,
while in England, where the h is often sup
pressed, an is generally employed. The arti-
cle should be repeated in such sentences as?
“the knife had an elegant handle and rough
looking blade;” arough looking blade; “it
had a rough looking handle and elegant
blade;” an‘ elegant blade; “it was a rough
and inelegant remark ;” an inelegant remark.

of the Globe, and become a favorite remedy with thousands of the leading
physicians. Medical societies have discussed its marvelous success at their
annual conventions, and after their official chemist ,have analyzed it and
