Sthc Herald and ^dcertisci;. 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.

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 merits genuine pleasure, brill. 82.500 . was not a high price for them, according to the jeweler's standard.
