Amount So Brought In Has No Eflect on the Market. ery few diamonds are smuggled into this country now, whatever may have been the case in former days.” declared an ageunt of a large jewelry house who makes a yearly trip to Eu- rope to purchase precious stones. “The amount that is brought in without duty is =o small as to have no effect on the market. Uncut giamonds ‘are not taxed. The duty on gut stones is but ten per cent. Amste , Holland, is the great market for diamonds. ‘Nearly all the New York dealers who import buy from that city. Eighty per cent. of the diamond cutting for the world is done in Amsterdam. Few #mall diamonds are cut in New York city. There are almost no facilities here for doing the work. The expe- rienced cutters at Amsterdam can turp out the work cheaper than it can be done on this side of the water even when the customs Guty is added to the rates paid the Holland ‘manufacturers.

Usefulness of Marvelous Incubators Ended by “Scrap.” “Speaking about incubators,” drawled old Jeft Weatherby, in. the back of Jason's general store, “re- maius me of the wonderful chicken hatchers built by the Hains boys. Bill Hains invented the most. marvelous incubator ever seen in these parts. It not only hatched the chickens out, but it actually ielded the little chicks from a hawk just like an old hen. Then Pote Hains got busy and went one better. He built an incu- bator with a phonograph arrange- ment that would ‘cluck-cluck’ to the chicks and scratch - up worms for them.” “Whew!"” gasped the starch drum; mer. “I have heard a lot of yarns, but that is the lihit. What became of these wonderful incubators?” “Busted, stranger, busted all to bits. You see them fhar incubators were s0 intelligent they seon grew jealous of one another and first thing you know there was & scrap lo equal any game chicken fight that ever come off. When it was over both were only fit for the junk heap. Thanks, stranger, I'll take a cigar.” Surprise for Lodge-Keeper. It was a former archbishop of York —Dr. Thomson—who appeared once in the role of coachman. He had at- tended an evening party, and. on leav- ing the house, dlscovered that his coachman was drunk. There apeared nothing for it but to drive home him- self, and the archbishop, after placing the smiling but nnconscious coachman inside the carriage, mounted the box and took the reins. The monotony of the homeward journey was broken by a wheel of the carriage coming into violent colligion with a stone just out- side the entrance to Bishopsthorpe. The lodge-keeper, unable to recog- nize the approaching figure in the darkness, called out cheerily: “Hallo, Bill, drunk again!—and blowed if you ain’t got the old coek’s bat on!" “it's the old cock himseif,” gravely re- sponded his grace.—Sau Francisco Ar- gonaut.
