Diamonds are trumps just now, the purchase of the famous blue-stone, known as the Hope, for American account, and the prospective appearance of the Koh-i-Noor for the first time at the coronation of a British monarch, are absorbing femine interest to such an extent that even gowns and sealskin sacques have been largely relegated to "away back” and told to ‘‘sit down” in in the pulsating brain chambers. Of the really few historical diamonds in existence the Koh-i-Noo has the most romantic associations. It is, however, by no means either the largest or the purest. It was presented to Queen Victoria in 1850 by the British East India Company, being part of the loot taken from the treasure house of Dhulup Singh, the Maharajah of Lahore, at the time of the conquest of the Punjab. It was put on show at the World’s Fair in London in 1851, and it was unquestionably the popufar "hit” of that the first international exhibition of wealth and progress. Among the historical cut diamonds the Koh-i-Nor ranks fifth in size. The largest is the 6rloft\ set in the scepter of the Russian Czar.* The second is the Florentine Brilliant, belonging to the Austrian imperial regalia. The third is the Pitt, or Regent, which is with the French crown jewels in the Louvre at Paris. The fourth is the Star of the South, which is in possession of one of the Indian Princes still able to indulge in the purchase of such luxuries, and, curiously enough, it is the only one of the five that was found out of Asia and in modem times. There are two noted uncut diamonds, each much larger than the Orloff, but there is doubt about their genuineness. The biggest of the two is known as the Braganza, and is the property of the Portuguese Government, which will not allow an expert examination to be made of it. It was found in Brazil 160 years ago, and is of about the size of a hen’s egg. If it is a pure stone dealers figure its value to be fully $5,000,000. The other is a Matan, and belongs to the Rajah of the Hindu State of that name. It is less than a quarter of the size of the Braganza. Its owner has also refused to permit it to be examined. Other large diamonds have been brought to public notice and put on the market since the opening the South African mines, but they do not figure in th# literature of precious stones as yet, excepting perhaps the Pam, which is of the greatest brilliancy, although in size it is far exceeded by others found on the Dark Continent. It was sent to Queen Victoria at her request, she thinking of buying it at the time, but while she was considering the matter her grandson, the Duke of Clarence, died, and this put the acquisition of more jewels out of her mind. In the rough it weighed 112 carats, but cutting has reduced it to 55 carats. Presumably the largest of all South African diamonds yet found is the one known as the Excelsior, taken out of the Jagersfontein Mine in June, 1894. It ranks next in size to the Braganza— which is supposed to be only a pure white topaz, weighing 969 carats in the rough, or considerably over one-half the weight of the latter, which is 1^680 carats. The term carat, by the way, when used in connection with diamonds, does not mean the same thing that it does when we speak of gold. In the case of gold it means the quantity of the pure metal and indicates the quantity of alloy. Pure gold is 24-carat, gold coins are about 22 carat—that is, 22 parts gold and 2 parts alloy. In the case of diamonds carat expresses actual weight. A one-carat stone weighs four Trey grains nearly, ISl 1 ^ diamond carats being equal to one ounce Troy. Then in calculating the value of diamonds it is to be rembered that the larger the stone the higher the price per carat. If a stone of one carat is worth $100, then a stone of two carats is worth $150, and one of 10 carats $10,000, or 10 times the sum per carat that the one-carat stone is worth. For this reason the value of very large stones is a dittieult matter to estimate. The largest of the historic cut diamonds—the Ofluff—weighs 193 carats; the second—the Florentine Brilliant— 139Vfe; the third—the Pitt—136%; the fourth—the Star of the South—124%, and the fifth—the Koh-i-Xoor—106. There are no others outside of the South African finds weighing 150 carats or over. The Shah, which comes next, weighs 86 carats; the Pigott follows with 82%; the Xassack is 78%. The much-talked of Saucy weighs only 54 carats, and the Hope, which is coming over here from England, is even smaller than that, its weight being but 44% carats. The history of the Hope diamond is somewhat obscure/ It is supposed to be a part of the great Table diamond which was brought from India by the traveler, Travernier, by whose name it is sometimes called. This stone was said to have weighed 242% carats, and was the first blue diamond seen in Europe. It was sold to Louis XIV, in 1668, when it was described as of a "beautiful violet” color, but flat and badly cut. It was subsequently recut, and when Louis Le Grand died it weighed only 67% carats. It was seized and put in the Grade Meuble during the French Revolution, and from there it has not been traced. The Hope stone, which is probably Is a pair of it, turned up about 70 years ago, and was purchased by Henry Thomas Hope, the London banker, who paid $65,000 for it. The other part of the blue Table, or Travernier, diamond is supposed to be the Brunswick, the next largest blue stone known to be in existence. The latter weighs only 10% carats, so that 12% carats of the 67% that were deposited in the Garde Meuare still missing. Most likely some of the smaller blue stones in different collections came from it.

The Koh-i-Noor weighed when presented to Queen Victoria, 186 carats, but it was badly cut, and on the advice of Prince Albert a lapidary was called from Amsterdam to put it into better shape. The work took 38 days and cost $40,000. Of course, the 80 carats that were taken off were not wasted, but they were not in one piece, and their value therefore bears no comparison with that of the stone that now lies In the Tower of London along with the other British crown jewels. The history of the Koh-i-Noor is said to date back to the year 56 before the Christian era. It is supposed to have originally been a part of the Great Mogul which was sent to a Venetian lapidary during the Middle Ages to be recut, and who made such a botch of the job that the Sultan Jihan, to whom it belonged, refused to pay the bill. Whether the Italian retained it and cut it up into smaller and more salable stones writers on the subject do not say, but no further records of the Great Mogul appear anywhere. The Great Mogul, like the Koh-i-noor, belonged to the great Arungzebe, Sultan of Delhi. It passed from him to his great-grandson, Mohammed. When Delhi was captured by Nadir Sha, the Persian conqueror, it became part of the spoils of the victor, and after passing through various other vicissitudes of war it fell into the hands of the famous Runjeet Singh, who had it set in a bracelet. It was Nadir Sha who is understood to have given the Koh-i-Noor the name it bears. As the story goes, he saw it glitter in the turban of the vanquished Mogul at Delhi, and with grim humor said: "Let us exchange turbans.” This was done, and the stone went to Persia for the time being. Koh-i-Noor means "Mountain of Light,” and the degenerate successor of Runjeet Singh on the throne of Lahore, from whom it was taken in 1849, remembered its history when he was brought to Windsor Castle to make a good impression on her, probably for the purpose of having his pension in - creased, and asked the officials to secure him the privilege of handing the great diamond to her personally in token of his submission and to prove that he harbored no ill-will or rebellious designs toward the conquerors of his country. His wish was gratified, and perhaps the English monarch to-day considers his right to its possession as absolute in consequence of this performance. The Orloff diamond in th^ Czar's scepter is also of Indian origin, part of the loot that Nadir Sha brought to Persia. Tradition says that it once formed the eye of a Hindu idol, and was plucked from its socket by the Persian soldiery. Somehow, after the death of Nadir Sha it fell into the hands of an English merchant, who finally disposed of it to Count Orloff, who presented it to the Empress Catherine of Russia. Presumably the amount that he paid for it came back to him increased many fold, for he was one of the petticoated imperial profligate’s favorites. Of all the large historic diamonds the Pitt, or Regent, is considered the purest, and is without a rival in the beauty of its shape. It is said to have been found in the mines of Parteal, in India, in 1702, by a slave laborer, who concealed it in a gash that he cut in the calf of his leg. He made his way to the coast, and there sold it to a sea captain, who in turn disposed of it to Governor Pitt, the grandfather of the Earl of Chatham, who was then stationed at Ft. St. George, for $5,000. Pitt subsequently found a purchaser in the Duke of Orleans, Regent of France, who paid $675,000 for it. At present it is valued at over $2,000,000. A far lower value is put on the Florentine Brilliant, which comes next in size to the Pitt among the diamonds with histories. This is due to the fact that it is of a yellowish hue. It is supposed to be an Indian stone that made its way to Europe, where it got into the hands of a Florentine jeweler, who did not appreciate it because of its off color, and sold it for a mere song. It got into the Grand Duke of Tuscany’s collection, and thence into that of the Austrian Emperor. The Star of the South is of Brazilian origin, having been found by a negro slave in the Province of Minas Gernes, in 1853. It was carried to Paris, and there sold to a dealer, who finally disposed of it to the customer who carried it to India, the home of diamonds, according to all reports and traditions. The Saney diamond’s authentic history is difficult to trace. There appears to be no doubt that it still exists in its entirety and that it is in India. A Story was started about a dozen years ago saying that it was in Paris, the property of a syndicate which wanted to dispose of it to some multi-million-aire—presumably to one who would not inquire too curiously into its genuineness. The original Great Sancy is said to have once belonged to Queen Elizabeth. When the then Prince of Wales—now King of England—was in India somo years ago, it was reported that the diamond was in the possession of the Ma-' harajah of Puttiala, who has since died. It lias been described as of a most peculiar shape and cutting, and considered very valuable as a curio as well as a gem. ’ It was expected that with the devel- . opment of the South African mines there would be a glut of diamonds in | the market and that there would be a decided fall in prices but the output has been judiciously regulated, and the stones are worth about as much to-day as they were ten, twenty or thirty years ago.—New York Times.

BLIND TOM’S MEMORY.

Negro Pianist Never Forgets a Date Nor a Town,

Atlantic City continues to marvel over Blind Tom’s wonderful memory. The fame of it has gone abroad in the land, so that not only at some of his concerts, where an opportunity has been given, but in the informal crowds that occasionally gather around his chair there is a manifest tendency to test it personally. Naturally the only subject on which the casual stranger can verify the accuracy of Tom’s memory is that of previous performances. So the questions that are asked are all on that subject; and Tom’s memory is apparently infallible. He has never yet failed to tell upon what date he played at a given town; or if he had played there several times, he knew it, and he knew when. After a concert career extending over nearly forty years, one which has carried him all over the continent, such a memory seems almost superhuman. When one considers further that this is an absolutely untrained memory, without any great natural intelligence except in his unexplainable musical instinct, and that one can not call it heredity rising superior to circumstances, but one circumstance rising superior to heredity, it becomes still more remarkable. After one of his recent concerts Tom sat for some time as a target for questions. They came from all over the house, and Tom answered them without hesitation, except for a certain hesitancy which belongs to his speech rather than to his memory. He speaks two or three Avoids and a pause, two or three more and another pause— rather automatically—and never is knoAvn to fail to tack a civil "sir” on to every one of his replies. Among those Avho questioned him was E. D. Gallion. of Washington, D. C.. but formerly of Lynchburg. "Tell me, Tom, did you ever play in Lynchburg?” "Yes, sir.” "What year was It?” "It Avas—in 18—79, sir.” "So it Avas; so it Avas—in the summer, Avasu’t it?” "No, sir; it aa'us—in January—sir.” "He’s perfectly right,” admitted Mr. Gallion, whose trap had failed. W. R. Brackville, of Bellefonte, Patried his hand next at tne mystifying of this mystery. "Tom, Avere you ever at Bellefonte, Pa ’” "Yes, sir.” "When?” "I Avas there in 1871, sir,” came Tom’s reply, iu a .non-committal tone. The gentleman looked astonished, and, leaning over, Avhlspered to his Avife. “Well, he’s wrong for once, for we didn’t move there till later than that!” But the woman’s Avit solved the trouble. “Well, Tom, Avere you there more than once?” "Yes, ma’am. I was there the second time in 1878.” "That’s it,” said Mrs. Brackville; "that was just after avc had gone there.” "And, Tom, Avhat did you do with yourself on Sunday?” Tom’s lips lost for a moment their immobility. "Well, ma’am, I didn’t go to church!” “Indeed, you didn’t, and avc did our best to make you.” A gentleman from Richmond. Va., asked Tom when he had given a convert there, and Tom answered readily enough: "In 1865, sir.” But in his next question the gentleman made the mistake of saying: "Now, Tom. I’m going to fool you! Where did you play?”—explaining to his neighbors that he probably thought he played in a theater, whereas he played iu a church. But Tom was silent as the grave until his manager said: "Tom, you knoAV where you played at Richmond; tell the gentleman.” And Tom promptly answered: "I played in the African M. E. Church.” One of Tom’s most exciting recent experiences Avas his first encounter Avitli a graphophone, and a large musical box. The latter particularly reduced him almost to a delirium of ecstacy. He had his chair rolled up close to it, and insisted on bearing its entire repertoire, and astonished his manager and his audience by giving some selections from that repertoire in his next concert.

TO WIN ON WALL STREET.

Not Even to a Lady Can Some Secrets Be Confided.

James It. Keene Avas asked the other day by a lady for a "point” on a certain stock that he is reported to be manipulating iu his own peculiar way of a lightning change from the bear to the bull side. "There are times,” he said, gallant1}’, "Avhen one must keep his plans to himself. When I tell you to buy, you bp a’, and you’ll make some money. And the same Avhen I tell you to sfell.” "But 1 Want to know what you knoAV,” she persisted, adding, "mid get in before the rise.” "—Or fall?” "I think you are just mean,” she continued petulantly, with flashing eyes aimed at the doughty warrior of so many Wall street battles. “Noaa*, see here,” retorted Mr. Keene, continuing, "I know what I am going to do—” "Yes—yes—and you might tell meT "Well, then I am one—and uoav you want to knoAV ” "Yes—yes—please ” “That avouUI be another one—now tAvo ones together make eleven, and 11 could never keep a secret—especially when No. 2 in the secret is a woman!” "Oh, you are too mean for anything!” “But,” added Mr. Keene, gallantly, "send me a check for the amount you Avish to risk, and I’ll promise you that there will not be a loss.” "Well, I will; I’ll trust you with my money,” she replied, "even if you won’t me Avith your secret!”—New York Times.

Some time ago a very curious custom Avas revived at the ancient hostelry known as the Gatehouse, at Highgate, London. In the good old days cattle drovers calling on their way to Smlthlieid used to require any stranger encountered at the inn to kiss the horns of one of their oxen before admitting him to the privilege of fellowship. The animal Avas then brought to the door for the purpose, but now the ceremony of administering the oath takes place in one of the old rooms of the house. The only part of the ox present is the indispensable pair of horns, which are borne in solemn but not solitary state by the landlord to the sAvearing-in sanctum. There the "oath” is recited by his assistant, who in his ancient black gown, wig and bands imparts the necessary “official” aspect to the proceedings. Having duly kissed the horns, the stranger becomes a freeman of the place and entitled to all the rights and privileges attaching thereto. A very curious custom is in vogue at an inn in Yorkshire. BetAA'eeu Halifax and Bradford lies the village of Shibden, at the public house of which every first Sunday in May a small cake is presented to the first arrival. This cake is made principally of treacle and dough, and is of the variety universally popular in Yorkshire as "parkin.” By calling as early as 3 o’clock in the morning Halifax men in former years secured the cake, but last May it AVas taken by an enterprising young fellow from Bradford, who arrived half an hour before any caller from Halifax. The origin of this quaint custom is lost in it^ antiquity. For many years past a peculiar practice lias been observed at two public houses at Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. There, as elsewhere, it is the custom to ring the old year out and the new year in. But there it is also the custom for the ringers to afterward adjourn to the two inns referred to and be entertained by the landlords. These facts Avere disclosed a feAv years ago when the landlord of the George and Dragon, one of the hospitable establishments, Avas charged before the magistrates Avith keeping his premises open and selling drink during prohibited hours on New York’s morning. It Avas explained that the only guests present were the priviliged ringers, and In deference to a very old custom the justices felt justified in dismissing the summons, and the case avus in that Avny disposed of. For many years beer and Bible seem to have been pretty closely associated at a Berkshire public house. The Bee Hive, at White Waltham, near Maidenhead, enjoys the distinction of having the oldest landlady In the county in the person of Mrs. M. Lee. a AvidoAV of 87. The venerable hostess recently completed the fiftieth year of her tenancy of the premises, and throughout a great part of that time it Avas her regular custom on Sundays to take her Bible into the taproom and read to tin* assembled customers. They are said to have highly appreciated and to have profited by the religious instruction thus imparted. The old lady seems to haA-e conducted her modest establishment on very commendable lines. In the taproom a notice on the wall intimated that no swearing or foul language was permitted, and that any customer breaking the rule ayouIU be expelled.—London Tit-Bits.

Parrot Story by Schley. "That reminds me of Smith's parrot,” said Rear Admiral Schley—the best story teller in the navy—and, of course, this Avas followed with "What about it?” from everybody within hearing. “Well, you see,” said the admiral, “Smith got lonesome Avhen he Avas stationed down in South Africa and lie got himself a parrot. Smith and the bird Avere unable to carry on any conversation whatever, as they spoke different languages, so Smith taught the bird to call him ‘Bob.’ “All avcnt well enough until Smith had a bit of cruising to do and got one of his comrades to take care of Folly in his absence.- The keeper, tiring of the incessant cry for ‘Bob,’ added to Polly’s vocabulary with ‘Bob’s a h— of a fellow.’ "When Smith returned to his quarters that’s Avhat greeted him. He stood it until almost maddened by the constant cry of his name iu the distasteful connection, and concluded to put a stop to it. He tried shoAver baths of cold water and a bit of pepper on her tongue, he mildly Avhipped her and shut her up in a dark hole, but when he let her out ’Bob’s a h— of a felloAv’ was all she would cry. “As he did not Avaut to kill the bird outright. Smith decided to take her to the Avoods and let her loose. He had occasion to go through the woods some time later, and Avhen well in the forest a cry of ‘Bob’s a h— of a felloAv’ broke from dozens of harsh voices at once. He fled in despair, for Folly had taught her English to all the parrots in South Africa.”—Washington cor, Chicago Tribune.

Intelligence of Insanity. Insane people frequently make statements which give evidence of keen intelligence. An instance of this kind occurred a day or two ago in Judge Bonham’s court. A Scandinavian Avoman from one of the range 1 towns was undergoing examination as to her mental condition. Her husband, a Aveazened, inferior looking little felIoay, mid told the story of his wife’s condition, and she took in every Avord lie said. She avas then interrogated and ansAvered all the questions about herself and her children in a vague, rambling manner. Finally she protested that there was nothing the matter with her. "Do you think that your husband is out of his mind?” asked the doctor. "Ay don’t tank so. Ay tank ho never hav mind to lien out of, ’ replied the woman. Despite her seeming sanity on this point she was committed.— Duluth News-Tribune.
