FACTS ABOUT DIAMONDS.

While tariff changes have affectedsomewhat the diamond trade In theUnited States, nud have recently pro-moted the .business of diamond cuttingand setting there, they have been with-out serious effect upon tho Amerlc.vnmn.ket, which for diamonds Is the bestIn the world.

In the United States one is impressedwith the extraordinary popularity andalmost lavish use, of diamonds. Notonly are there more dbiuiomls therethan In any other part of Use world, butthey are'in more general cap.

Is £100,000. but tho value of dia-monds is not wholly regulated byweight, color being an impor tant ele-ment.

INTERVENING KVENTS.—For sev-enteen years after the incident of thelast lesson, Jeholnldm and his succes-sors were In turn swearing fealty -toNebuchadnezzar and then breakingtheir oaths, and were as false to theirGod as to their political obligations,and then came the catastrophe de-

. scribed In the lesson.| TIME.—The final siege of Jerusa-lem began tho latter part of December, .G88 R. C. (Jer. 52:4 et al.) The citywas evacuated by 'Zcdeklah the latterpart of June, HS6 B. C. (v. C), and thetemple burned and the walls raised amonth later (v. 12). But Nebuchad-nezzar's carrying the people of JudahInto exile was a surlcs of events ex-tending over twenty-four years. Dan-iel and others wore carried awny COSB. C.; 3023 persons, 598 B.. C.; from 10,-000 to 20,000, H97 11. C.; BSm 587 B. C.; a"residue," B. C. f>SG, 745 ncrsons, G8aB. C. (Dan. 1:1; Jer. D2:28; 2 Kings 24:14-16; Jer. 52: 29, IB, 30). Of coursethere were rntiny other similar items,apart from the case of Jews who vol-untarily migrated to Egypt and othercountries.

PLACES.—When It is said that1 tliesopeople were carried to Babylon, thatdocs not necessarily mean the city ofHabylon, or even the country of Bab-ylonia but some part of the Babylo-nian empire. Some of them Joinedth.cir compatriots who had been ear-rk'd away earlier fro mbnth NorthernIsrael and Judah. by Tlglath-Fllesornnd Sargon and Sennacherib (Jer. .'!:12. 18; 30: . 3, :il throughout; IiO:20; B|:5; Kztilc. 37: lfi-22: ZeohV H:13, 'e.tc.)

A question-boxwill be opened, ot which those presenare invited to make good use.

Here's a paragraph cut from theAtlantic Review. It contains severeremarkable statements, and omits whatis equally important :

"Sydney Rosenbaum, who is atmonton, writes his father, auctioneer: J.Rosenbaum, that he heard the fire/helringing at 5:30 Tuesday morning antarose. The flre was a very small affairat that lime uud burning in a corner othe roof. At 7:20, exactly, the Inde-pendence Fire Corupuny passed, thebouse where Mr. Rosen baum was stay-ing and ou arriving at the scene ot thefiru were burprised to find it out. Thebouse had been totally destroyed."

Monday's city papers we findan uccouut of certain Sunday bappen<iuga which read as follows :

Three veuturesome skaters nearlylost their lives by drowning in the Ham-monton Lake this alternoon. Only aportion ot the lake was frozen over, bu!the Ice was crowded to its lull capacity.Along towuida uoou the sun began toweaken the ice, jet none took warninguntil f inal ly ibttre was a crash and MiniCora Beurd and her companion, ParkerTieai were seen struggling in tb« icywater.

AN EXPERIMENT.

W IIJBX I dropped into Claris-sa's studio on that eventfulmorning 1 did not expectanything very eventful to happen;much less was I conscious of the factthat I was going to Join a eongipracy—it deliberately-thought-out plot directedagainst thc future of my all-importanteelf, and hatched by Clarissa herself.- During the five years that we hadbeen "comrades, of the brush" nothinghad occurred to mar our friendship,and jwe criticised each other's daubsquite frankly and fearlessly; it is truethat Clarissa had been :\ bit funny late-ly, but that was partly my own fault.For she had made a study o'f a girl's

Sauntering along, 1 soon met MnbelCarv and we went Into the confection-er's to have ices. Who should be Bit-ting there at a small table but Clarissa—with Jones!

Clarissa nodded to me, smiled, andwent on talking. I got tho wrong icefor 'Mabel Carr, anil brought her aham sandwich Instead of a wafer, andBhn said I was awfully slow that after-noon. Clarissa and Jones sat us out,and Jones had/'sueh :i particularly"••'ii «c look on his face as we left theshop that I could have goiie back aridpunched his head.

The next day being Sunday, 1 wentto church—because I saw Clarissa go-Ing. I tried to catch her eye duringservice, but she only looked my w«yonce, and then dropped her eyes andblushed.

Oho! thought I, we are getting on.But when the sermon began I foundthat Jones was sitting behind, me.Hang Jones!

Monday afternoon Clarissa's peoplewere "at home,'" but I only got a few.words with her.

"Clarissa," I said, "I call it a beastlyshame the way ''

"Now, George, I Bo not. mind yourbeing with Miss Carr." :

"I was not thinking of Jones," saidI hastily.

"Well, I have no time to talk now;besides, we must not be seen too muchtogether. Do get some -tea." And offshe tripped.

.Not be Been too much tog—— ?thought I. Hang It! Clarissa Is mean.How can I press my suit It she willnot give me an opportunity?

I quite saw how It was. I must notgive Clarissa any advantage, but must

head for which I had a sneaking .ad, carr* the waj Int tae enemy's counmiration, and it seemed to particularly try.

Next day I wrote her a long letter,In which I dwelt OB her nnklndness inkeeping away from me. I laid on thesentiment with a tar brush, and paint-ed myself as a lonely and morbid manwho wanted a woman's sympathy.How was I to make her love me, asarranged, If she would not give me theopportunity? I irnplored an interview.

As I was awaiting an answer by ev-ery post, I did not go to see her, butno answer came. After three days Iwent round in the evening, but hadnot the courage to knock; diplomaticfelations seemed to ne on a delicatefooting, and, after all, I argued, Stwould be rude to call before, she an-swered my note. However, I thoughtof another plan as. I Saw the parlormaid returning from tho lettterbox. Shewas a good sort, aud I could trust her.

"Alice!" I said—putting my hand' earclc'Ksly into my waistcoat pocket—"can I trust you?" Receiving a quickaliirmatlve I continued: "Tell MissClarisjsa that you saw me wandering

annoy ber that I always turned to thatcanvas. This morning I felt mischiev-ous, and stopped there longer thanusual.

"George!" 1 did not hear. "Georgel"(oiyrccndo.) No answer. "Georgel"(foHissimo.) • ..

Did you speak?" said I, lookingstartled. Clarissa stamped her littlefoot.

"I shall put that, picture away alto-• gelher If you come here mooning like !

this and won't talk to me; what an im- jpressiouable follow you are!" j

"Hoity-toity!" I said. ''And, pray, 'miss, why uin I .impressionable?" j; "Well—(a pause)—"you seem lo be 'struck with every pretty face yonsec-—"w "A man's privilege,' '1 interrupted.,

"• nnd—and with every sentiment-al talc you hear "**"A Blgn of my good-nature," I^sald.

"-—nnd I do believe, if we had notbeen chums for so lonj;. that I eouldmake you fall In love with me now-If.1 Jlketl to try."

I immediately became cautions. ."Youhave a pretty face, Clarissa," I said,"and 1 have no doubt that I shouldhave fallen in love with you when we strategic move'menTto"the rear?Urst met If you had only told me a sen-timental talc!"' • "Now, George" (Impatiently), "let usbe serious. Are your feelings for moreally so cold that yon would not BlindIf I lllrted with Mr. Jones for a wholeevening?" *

The Bombay bubonic plague is slowlyworking its way down into our section.There have been no cases in Ami, batthere were several in a town seven1 milesdistant, which ia our railroad station.The natives are in a panic over it. Thegovernment is doing all it can to keepit backhand ie inoculating all who wishto be, but never compels any one to doso. There is a belief among the nativesthat England must kill off several hun-dred thousand natives to retain its holdon India, and is scattering the plagueamong the people. When an officerdesires to inoculated natives, he showsthem first that .he has been inoculated;but they say, "Oh, yes, we know thatyou put one kind, of medicine in yourarm, and another in ours." All sortsot stories are afloat, to the effect thatnatives who consented to be inoculatedall died next day. It is not pleasant totravel now, for twice between Arni andMadras every person in tbe train hasto be examined, and if be shWs anysymptoms of the plague he is put into acamp tor ten days, under close super-vision. Recently, two petty officers, fora joke, went to a village aud said theyhad come to inoculate the people, whomust be ready in twenty minutes. Bythat time, not *a man, woman or childcould be found in the village, and theycould hardly be perauaded' to return to

The couditiou of tho common peoplein India, even in its best phases, is, toour oiiiid, terrible, and as we compareit with America, it more than anythingelse shows the power of Christianity touplift aud brighten the lives of poorerclasses tbe world over. Tho contrastbecomes greater when we compare thecoudition of woman in our own landand iu this land of cruelly aud falsegods. Tho contrast is as marked be-tweuu the Christian womun and cooliewomen ot India, itself.
