MILLIONS IN DIAMONDS.
Extraordinary Window Display* GurM
trjr feiui rp DfMsd^te*.
’• Diamond*! Did you ever see any
thing like this display !’* These worth
were spoken by an admirer of the spark-
bug gems to a gentleman who was show
ing him the beautiful things to be seen oa
Broadway They had been looking in the
window* i lew in precious stones,
whose st ore* a near the post-office, and

a* far a* the hotel where you are going
to stop, and we can. I believe, see more
diamonds than can be seen in the shop
windows of any other street in tbe
world." was the answer. Then they
started up Broadway on a diamond in-
*j«errion. New York nearly all
‘ I have bve'J ir
my life.” continue 1 (be last speaker.
* and the fa<: ’ ver before saw sc
many of these one time as are to
be seen in tiie *tu< u windows here this
winter. I was remarking the fact to
one of the largest dealers here only a few
evenings ago. when he said in explana¬
tion that the feucceae of the experts of
Europe in imitating the genuine stones
ha* to a great extent rendered even the
finest quality of diamonds unpopular.
They can be bought there now fully one-
third cheaper n they could ten years
ago. In the time the love for them
in this corn .* grown greater year
by year, and a r wealthy class is con¬
tinually getting larger the demand for
diamonds is steadily on the increase.
' 'Our dealers find it profitable basinet®
to bring them over from Europe. You
would lx- surprised, too, if you knew the
thousands and thousands of dollars' worth
of these gems that are smuggled over
here. There are men—and women, too,
for that matter—whose business it is to
smuggle diamonds into the United States,
and they realize an enormous profit by
their nefarious trade,”
They were walking leisurely up town
and stopped to gaze into the window of
each jewelry store as they passed. When
they had got a* far as Twenty-first street
the display had grown to be really mar¬
velous. There were diamonds whose
size* ranged from the smallness of the
head of a pin to thirty-seven carat
weight, and in colors they were from the
deepest orange to the most brilliant steel
blue. There was a necklace valued at
$50,000 and brooches at $10,000. One
pair of solitaire stones were noted which
were made for ear pendants. They were
pure white and weighed thirty-four
carats each. A diamond crown, which
consisted of several stars composed of the
purest stones, and which was labeled as
having once belonged to the Empress
Eugenie, was conspicuously displayed in
a window, and attracted a great deal of
attention. It was surrounded by hun¬
dreds of other precious stones, and the
value of the display in that window
alone was estimated at more than $200,-
000. The eye of a clerk inside the store
was constantly on the window, while a
detective, it is said, is kept always on
duty on the outside.
The employment of detectives to guard
the outside of windows at this season of
the year, when the finest display is made
by the diamond dealers, and when the
streets are filled with strangers and many
thieves, is very common. This precau¬
tion is always taken now, since a few
years ago a window was smashed in and
diamonds of great value were stolen.—

Jenny Unit’* Dignity.
Her standard was severely high. Of
her pupils at the Royal College of Music,
it is said that she kept them as close to
th'-ir scales as Mr. ltuskin kept his draw¬
ing class to the curves of a snail shell.
Her resentment of what she deemed iin-
pertinent curiosity must have been pain¬
ful to the American visitors, of whose re¬
ception we read: “What is it you want;”
she asked, standing very erect. “Oil,
Mine. Goldschmidt, we hoped to have
the pleasure of seeing you and making
your acquaintance. ” “Well, here is iny
front!” Then, with a whisk round,
“there is my back. Now,” with a deep
courtesy, “you can go home and say that
you have seen me.” It is a relief to read
that afterward “she was very jienitent
for having lx?cn at all rude.”—Chicago
Times.
