One Sunday afternoon a gray old man sat near the fountain In Madison sqnare, his thin, shrunken hands resting on the knob of a stout Malacca cane. Unkempt white hair. as glossy as silk, fell in a waving cataract over his wasted shoul- ders. A pair of eyes, once large and binck, but now faded and sunken, with the peculiar a) pearance that dark eyes often contract in old age, peered from beneath grizzled brows into the faces of passers-by. “Glad to see you,” piped the old man, greet- ing a passer by who recognized him. “A man of 80 13. a ghost. Rather, indeed, a ghost is the Nobody knows me any more whea I come out for an airing. I'm like one who has been dead, and has risen again to vex the surviyora.” He spoke with the peevish discontent of one who parted with his illu- | sions too long ago to remember that he ever had an; was just thinking.” he sald, abruptly skip- ping from one topic to anvther, “what « trans- formation 18 going on in the physical appearance of cur people—particularly In complexion. I ve long been satisfied that blondes are slowly disappearing in this country—this city. at least—and I've never had better evidence of the iact thantiis afternoon. Since I’ye been sit- ting here, old and young, mistress and maid, th rty-seven women have crossed my eye. Only five of them were pure blondes. Halfa dozen more would be classed perhaps as mezzotint, but at least twenty-five were distinctly bru- nette. It wasn’t so fifty yearsago and odd, when 1 commenced in my profession—I teld you I was aghost,” he interposed parenthetically. As I recollect cur women then there were nearly as many blondes ag brunettes. I'm serry for the transformation, fora brunette angel is out of the question. Blondes are no more angelic in spirit than their darker steters, perhaps. In ap- pearance, however, perfect vlonde and perfect angel are synonymous terms. An houri may be brunette, with soit, dark, lustrously languish- ing eyes; bat a good authentic angel muat have masses of golden hair and a complexion like labaster or Parian shot with pink. So I de- | plore the gradual elimination of the blonde that is certainly going on in the development of the American people as a distinct type.” The old gentieman had gone on rhapsodizing until his very muscles were braced with a mo- He beat an impatient tattoo on the walk with his cane, and continues | “Once an old man strides his hobby follow the ladvice ot Longfellow. | nature is Ite parado: ‘able men,’ says one of Montaigne’s cleverest | Who was anybod | mi |atyle in both sex j and the | in favor with connolsseuts that the highest ran- atidism™ of | £3,000,or no more than the sum paid by Mr. Pitt She is | extinction around the | also wore very tight | the largest known, but being of a pure water, ites and frequent feeding of the | gem of Kimberley fetches something more than es of the game she must | when yellow and under 5 carats, 40s. to 50s. the | stone which is at present exciting the “diamond- concave, | iferous” region. ‘Take care! beware!’ And the study of the coming American woman has always been a hobby of mine.

She passed me ina crowd, and I had only a glimpse of the features of the divinest blonde that ever wore an opera wrap. Strange to hear such bursts of senti- mentalism from the lips of a palsied old man, eh? But one of the curious points about human al inconsistency. ‘Very tors, have pessed their lives in trying to prove that what is is not and what Is not ia.’ ” Again the old man turned the conversation abruptly. “It was in ‘89 cr 40, I forget which, thet I began to study the subject statistically.

South African diamonds, in fact, have suffered a rapid depreciation, though the size of the stones found continually increases.

Pure white stones under 5 carats were rated at £38 to £4, and above 5 carats at from £4 to £7, or even more, according to size or luster.’ So much, however, depends on color, shape, size and luster, that it Is difficult for apy one not an expert to fix the price at which a eae should be soid. The largest gems, owing to their be- ing few purehasers fur them, fetch proportion- ately less, and if, as has been the case lately, the supply is greater than the demand, the price will sink to a figure which renders aig ding an even more precarious business than it naturally is.

The great fire at Whiteley’s on Saturday is re- markable for more reasons than one. Humane presence of mind in the policeman who ordered the two hundred horses to be cut loose deserved more honor than ithas received. The papers do not even print the policeman’s name. The loss was half a million sterling, and the fact that a fire of that magnitude in a crowded neighborhood was got under control in a few hours—in fact never allowed to extend perons the building in which it began—ts honorabie to the fire brigade which Capt. Shaw commands. W hiteley’s is an immense store, the owner of which finds a pleasure in denominating himself the Universal Provider. The growth of this great establishment has impoverished numbers ot small tradesmen. Its owner is hated accord- ingly; all the more eo because he began business by cutting down prices, and has continned to undersell his lesser rivals. Between this hatred and the occurrence of three fires on Whiteley’s premises within less than two years, aome people think there is a connection of cause and effect. There is no proof, and the suspicion is a ghastly one, but I am told it is pretty commonly credited by Whiteley’s customers. Little or bathing: however, will Jon hear. os this in print. And yet the interviewer has scen Mr. Whiteley. I say “the” interviewer because there fs, so far as I know, but one in London, and there is some reason to suppose he will for 8 time continue to be the only one. Mr. White- ley tells his story in an interesting way. It is an old story—the story of the man who comes to London with a £5 note in his pocket and an idea in his head, Mr. Whiteley’s ideas grew In number with prosperity, but he stiilsums them up under the commomplace heads, Hones- ty, Small Profits and Quick Returns, and No Credit. Besides which he went to Sunday school, and will not sell milk because it involves Sun- day labor; on the part ot the cow as well as of the dealer, he is careful to explain. In early life he went through the usual routine—was clerk and salesman and even bagman for some years, started a shop of his own and succeeded from the first. Now his warehouses cover more acres than he can count, and he employs 5,000 meu and women on the premises. And with the single exceptton of milk above mentioned, there is no article for.which he will not take an order—“ an ironclad, a wife or a child, itis all the same to me. I receive your order and exe- cute it in the ordinary course.” And just as readily after a big fire as before, for itis but a porien ot this huge concern which the flames lave consumed. s A story used to be current of a bet between two men at a club that an order could be sent to Whiteley which he would not execute. The order was for a second-hand coffin and it was filled. The loser of the bet inquired of Mr. Whiteley how the coffin came to Justify its description as second-hand. “Sir,” ,” answered the Universal Provider, “it was a misfit.” The Trail of the Sea-Serpent. BY J. G. WooD. From the June Atlantic. We might naturally expect to look forsea- monsters in the tropics, but here we find that the creature which fs called the sea-serpent has invariably been scen in northern latitudes, and always in the summer or autumn. Its size is tolerably uniform,—wonderfully #0, indeed,4 considering the great difficulty of estimating the length of any animal in the sea. The color is invariably the same; those who saw only the | upper surface taking it to be black or blackish- brown, and those who saw the under sur- tace describing it as white.

Mr. Arthur Law- rence offers a suggestion that it may posstbly be a surviving Pleslosauriau,—an idea, by the way, the late Lord Lytton in his Coming Race. The distance, how- ever, between the yreat saurlans which are now only known by thelr fossil remains and those of resent day Is too wide to be bridged by a But though not a surviving eaurian It may be asurvivor of some group of animals which is on the verge of extinction. In the first place, it cannot be a serpent, as the peculiar movements erforined There are plenty of sea-serpents, none of them measuring more than a few feet in j length, and all have the tail flattened side- ways, so that they undulate through the water, just ‘as an cel does. ‘The monster in ques- tion, however, undulates up and down “like a caterpillar.” ’ Now, the only marine animals | which poesess this power are those belonging to | the whale tribe. These, as may be seen from the structure of their vertebre, can undulate up and down, but not sideways. the projections on either side of each yertebra_ interlocking with the vertebra immediately behind it. Now, sup- pose that there might be a much-clongatea ce- tacean, being to the rest of the whales what the eels are to the fishes, the creature would be- have exactly as our sea-serpent behaved. Every movement of the creature is cetac The habit of pushing the head out of the water is distinc! tacean, the sperm whales being much addicted to this custom, The cat- erpillar-like bend of the body is also cetacean, and ma be witnessed any day when a school of 7 ises curve their graceful course over The sudden rising of the body, as @esoribed by Mr. Wasson, is also a cetacean ‘Baracteristic.

Jn this point, indeed, he Is un- equaled. Among these is “bag and baggage,” “dead asa door nail,” “proud of one’s humil- Ity,” “tell the truth and ghame the-deyil,” “hit or miss,” “love is blind,” “selling for a song,” “wide world,” “cut copies,” ‘fast and loose,” “‘unconsidered trifes,” “westward ho,” “famill- arity breeds contempt,” “patching up ex- cuses,” “misery makes strange -bed-fellows,” “to boot” (in a trade), “short and long of it,” “comb your head with a three- legged stool,” “dancing attendance,” ‘“get- ting even” (revenge). “birds of a feather,’ “that’s flat,” “tag-rag,” “Greek tome” (unin- telligible), ‘send one packing,” ‘‘as the day is long,” ‘king a jury,” ‘mother wit,” “kil with kindness,” “mum” (for silence), “ill wind that blows no good,” ‘wild goose chase,” “scare crow,” “luggage,” “row of pins” (as a mark of. value), ‘viva voce,” “give and take,” “sold” (in the way of joke), “give the devil his duc,” “your cake is dough.” These expressions haye come under my own notice, and of course there rust be many others of equal familiarity. “ The | girl who playfully calls some youth a “milksop” ig also unconsciously quoting Shakspeare, and even “loggerhead” is of the same origin. ‘-Ex- tempore” ts first found In Shakspeare, and so are “almanacs.” The “elm and vine” (as a fig- ure) may alko be mentioned, Shakspeare is the first author that speaks of “the man in the moon,” or mentions the potato, or uses the term “eyesore” for annoyance. Another often. quoted utterance may be here mentioned, simply Decause it is generally misundéntood: “ne touch of nature makes the world kin,” which 1s supposed to express the power of sympathy, whereas it solely referred to the widespread operations of selfishness. i —— ee holders of stones imagine themselves in, sion of.
