HINTS ABOUT DIAMONDS.
Newnan, Ga., Friday, Oct. 28, 1887.
L A MOOD,
It la good to strive against wind and rain
In the keen, sweet weather thatnutumn brings
The wild horse shakes not the drops from hit
mane.
The wild bird flicks not the wet from her wings.
In gladder fashion than I toss free
The mist dulled gold of my bright hair’s flag.
What time the winds on their heel wings lag,
And all the tempest is friends with me.
None can reach me to wound or cheer;
Sound of weeping and sound of song—
Neither may trouble me: I can hear
But the winds' loud laugh, and the sibilant,
strong.
Lulled rush out of the rain through the sapless
weeds.
O rare, dear days, ye are here again!
I will woo ye as maidens are wooed of men—
With oaths forgotten and broken creeds!
Ye shall not lack for the son’s fierce shining—
With the gold of my hair I will make ye glad;
Tor your blown, red forests give no repining—
Here arc my lips: will ye still be sad?
Comfort ye. comfort ye, days of cloud,
Days of shadow, of wrath, of blast—
1 who love ye am come at last.
Laugh to welcome me! cry aloud!
For wild am I as thy winds and rains—
Free to come and go as they:
I/ive's moon sways not the tides of my veins:
Tin re is no voice that can bid me slay.
Ont anil away on the drenched, brown leal
Out to the great, glad r!>-art of the year!
Nothing to grieve for. nothing to fear;
Fetterless, lawless, a maiden free!
—Amelia Hives jn Harper’s.
ONE OF THE LOST ARTS.
The Ingenious Way in Which Wine Is Kept
from Fermenting.
“There is some unfermented wine,”
said a West street wine importer, “that
will keep as long as is desired.”
“Is there anything peculiar about the
method of keeping it?”
“Oh, yes. The pure juice of the grape
is pressed into the bottles. Then some
olive oil is poured in at the top of each
lwttle. This effectually excludes the air.
and none can work down into the wine
to ferment it. At the same time any air
that was in the juice finds its way up
through the oil.”
“But one would suppose the oil would
flow into the glass when the Imttle was
put in use.” v
“That is prevented by sopping up the
oil with cotton when the bottle is un
corked. The cotton absorbs it little by
little. All that is needed is a little
patience.”
The reporter mentioned the matter to a
doctor of divinity noted for his researches
in ancient history and the manners and
customs of nations.
“That is a real discovery,” said lie.
“That is one of the lost arts that "YV endell
Phillips did not mention in liis celebrated
lecture. This art of keeping unfenuented
wine was practiced by the Egyptians
many years before Christ. But it was
lost. It has now been rediscovered and
is coming into general use.”—New York
Mail and Express.
Brain Power of Womankind.
But before we can form any opinion as
to the fitness of their sex to produce half
a dozen immortals in a millennium we
must first ask if historic and social in
fluences have produced a generation of
womanly precursors, and a group oi
women of talent, out of which the miss
ing immortal might have emerged. It
does not quite settle the question to say,
what is no doubt true, that if women had
stronger brains they might have pro
duced both. The brains both of men
and women exercise themselves habitu
ally upon such stuff as the customs of
their age and race set before them.
An enormous part of the brain power
of mankind has been spent, or wasted, in
smiting the Philistines hip and thigh: an
enormous part of the brain power of
womankind has been spent, or wasted,
in cajoling Samson. But the victories of
Samson pave the way for those of Saul,
and the victories of Saul lay the founda
tions of the throne of Solomon. The
daughters of Delilah found no dynasty,
though they help to upset a good many.
In other words, hv following the fashion
which required men to fight, the men on
the winning side may drift into social and
political relations favorable to the growth
of civilization, while the primitive divis
ion of labor, which confined woman to
the tent or homestead, cut them off, as a
class, from the educational influences of
power and free association with powerful
equals. Here and there a woman of ex
ceptional capacity and position might ap
pear by chance among the rulers of men,
hut the opportunity would be owing to her
connection by birth or marriage with the
privileged class, and would make no open
ing for others of her sex.—Nineteenth
Century.
Old Patent Medicine Men.
I was asking an old druggist recently
what had become of the patent medicine
men who advertised their wares so exten
sively forty* years ago. There was old
Dr. Jacob Townsend’s sarsaparilla, Mine.
Zodoc Porter’s balsam, Brandreth's pills,
and others whom I have forgotten. Dr.
Townsend made a mint of money, went
deep ‘into real estate speculations in this
ciiv and was forced into bankruptcy.
Mrs. Porter sold out her business for
$100,000 and made herself comfortable.
The Brandretlis live up in Westchester
county and are wealthy. The old time
advertisers of these patent wares made
less of a “rush” tlian their successors,
but managed to “get there all the same.'
The greatest crash in this line came to
Walker, the vinegar bitters man, whose
wife at one time cut a magnificent dash
in Central park with her gold plated har
ness. and who erected a town building
and library in his native town in Massa
chusetts—New York Cor. Philadelphia
Record.
A Body for the Work.
When we have ascertained what the
conditions are that produce these differ
ences in man that together make a class
or type, we shall be able to produce that
class or type, and we shall also be able to
tell whqt type of body is best suited for a
given occupation and for residence m a
given countre. Then we shall tram
men so that we shall no longer send them
into occupations with types of body un
fitted for the conditions of that occupa-
uor. and consequently we shall be spared
the mi td”l«s.of tho j ran

Site Not the Sent Criterion of Their
Value—A Broker’s Story.
“Do you know anything about dia
monds?’ ’
“No.”
i‘I am surprised at the admission.
Nearly every man thinks he is postal. It
usually falls to the lot of the common
individual to buy diamonds, more or less,
in the course of his career, and in that
experience to gather more misinforma
tion than is disseminated on any other
subject. Some of the misinformation is
scattered purposely* hut much of it igno
rantly. It is a part of a jeweler's busi
ness to talk well. Consequently when
ever lie stands Ix-hind his counter and a
customer steps in front of it he feels it
his duty to fill the customer’s head with
pleasant impressions about the goods of
fered. Of coarse that is business. I do
not .-.ay that there is more willful misrep
resentation about diamonds than about
anv other goods, but I do say that the or
dinary jeweler is a mighty {xjor judge ot
the value of diamonds. '
Thus spoke an importer to a friend the
other day.
“There is only one class of men,” the
proprietor continue 1. “whom the trade
fullv trust, and they are the brokers. A
diamond broker is not lyu man who
sells, but one who can n and appraise.
Practice is of course necessary in this
work, but a man must he gifted in that
direction if he ever hopes for success, in
New York there are not ten men whom
judgment about a paper of diamonds is
conclusive. The trade on both sid“s—
that is, the importer on one side and the
manufacturer or retailer on the other—
rely f>n these men. An importer does
not sell to jewelers directly, hut always
through the broker. When the stones
arrive the broker sorts them and com
pares them with the invoice. That be
ing correct, the broker puts the packages
in his pocket and goes out to visit the
trade. He usually returns with a more
bulky package than he takes out, the
stones having been exchanged for checks,
notes or hills.
“There is a broker now in the other
room preparing to go out. We send for
him whenever we receive an invoice. He
gets 1 per cent, on his sales, and he is
now so well known in the business that
for working three or four hours a day
three or four days in the week he can
earn about $8,000 a year. He adds to
that income by appraisement and other
expert labor during his leisure. Rarely
has lie left this office with less than $15,-
000 worth of diamonds in his inside
pocket, and he has carried $75,000 worth
at a time. We never dream of asking
security from him, and in all his dealings
every stone lias been accounted for. Fre
quently lie accommodates friends at the
prices which he asks of jewelers. He
may be useful to you, and you can rely
on what he says. ’ ’
The broker presently appeared ready
for his rounds. Nothing about him sug
gested his occupation. A pickpocket
would have passed him by as not worth
the game. Introductions over, the broker
did some unbuttoning, and drew from
a pocket close to liis shirt a morocco
pocketbook of perhaps a dozen com
partments. The compartments were
filled with slips of white paper, which
the broker took out one at a time with
habitual caution. Some of the packages
contained single stones, and in some
there were matched groups, sparkling as
only diamonds can. Another package
contained an assortment of oblong, amber
colored fragments, which a housewife
would have boiled unhesitatingly if they
had been sent to her for tapioca. They
were uncut diamonds, and worth $1,500.
The importer's friend selected a pair of
small brilliants, although larger ones
were laid before him for less money.
“You have the making of an appraiser
in vou,” said the broker. “Almost any
jeweler would have chosen the larger
pair, failing to see that the smaller ones
are of purer color and greater brilliancy.
To the ordinary eye the difference in
qualitv is not perceptible, except in cer
tain kinds of light, when the difference is
plainly apparent. I suppose jewelers
satisfy the demands of customers when
they prefer large stones to small ones of
better quality, for size is vastly overrated
iu diamonds. The kind of diamond you
have chosen is worth $150 a carat. The
one you rejected is worth $80 a carat,
and tliat dilference would unmistakably
appear probably just at the time when
the wearers would least like to have it.
Under good conditions of light the differ
ence would he plain. Yet there are men
in .the business—the majority of them, I
might say—who would rather have
$1,000 worth of large stones at $10 a
carat than double the value in stones
worth $200 a carat. They can get more
money for the cheaper stones.
“There is something about a jewelry
store,"’ the broker continued, “that
makes goods show better in the eyes of
buyers than they do anywhere else. A
friend of mine wanted a pair of diamonds
for earrings and commissioned me to get
them. It was several weeks before I
happened to have a pair that I thought
would suit him. They were wortj^
$1,500. He admired them, but could
not quite make up his mind that they
were what he wanted. After thinking
over it for about ten days he decided not
to take them. The next day I went into
a large store up town. While showing
my goods to the diamond buyer my
friend entered the store. I was in the
office, where he could not see me. The
buver was sent for to wait on my friend,
wlio wanted to buy some stones that
could h.' recommended as first class.
“ -if you haven’t anything to suit him,’
I said to the buyer, -come hack to me. I
think I can fit you out.’
‘ ‘In a few minutes he came hack. I
gave him the $1,500 pair. ®*y filled
mv friend’s eye completely. He bought
them for $2,500, and went home de
lighted. A few days later he came to
me, glowing over his purchase. I stopped ,
Lim before he had said much and turned j
narrator myself. I think that before I
got through lie was almost disgusted
enough to give the diamonds away. To
this day they have not given him a mo- j

was not a high price for them, according
to the jeweler's standard. A large jewelry
establishment is about as expensive to run
as a yacht, and good profits become a
