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 where t: y ar read out in the mod tempting ay i-atch the eye of p*«- «re by. *-Bine- 1 see vou are a lover of dia rru.r i- I 1 wrcjld waam suggest that that we we waur walk nr up 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.— New York Evening Sun. 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. .Inst I.il.e a Woman.
