Through the efforts of President

of $30 a month to the widow of
Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson has been
passed by the House at Washington
where it had been held up after pas

In a half dozen years the impor

enormously, which is an indication
that the diamond cutting business,
which was formerly done exclusively
abroad, is now being looked after
here. Last year the value of the un
cut stones brought into this coun

$.'.000,000 more than that of the
previous year. In 1807 the figures
were about $5,000,000.

It is comfortable to record a good
king about Pittsburg, which with
ts Cam ogles, Fricks, Thaws and oth
•r prominent citizens, is so much an
thject of pity. The city is to have

tincture in the form of a temple,

Americans have long enjoyed in
England a reputation for being “kick
rs:' now they are accused of mean
less and extreme frugality by the
.ndon papers The manager of one
>f the Western hotels complains that
'Hs American guests use his hostelry
•tily for sleeping purposes and take
heir meals, even to their breakfasts
i the small tea shops and cheap res
aurants. Hence the accusation of
neanness. The manager explaining
his frugality, said; “Some were
ompelled by lack of means to tour
hoaply, while others did so to prove
heir shrewdness. They liked to see
ow cheaply they could do the tour
n order to go home and bonst of it
s an achievement against the En
fllsh. They were not natural!?
nean, but were carried away by their
•nstinct of commercial cunning.”

P*ESS NOTES
The early spring number of “The
Designer has a useful and interesting
array of household matter and fie
lion. The first pages are mainly de
voted to the display and description
of gowns designed for spring and
summer wear, and to the illustration
of the necessries that go with them.
The end of the brook is reserved for
articles relating to household ar
fairs, among which are the three
sections of matter contributed by the
readers of “The Designer” contain
ing many practical bits of advice
about children, homes and wage
earning. Simple entertainments, suit
able for little home evening affairs,
are always given in “The Designer,”
and in the March number some
verse suitable for recitation includ
ed. The Puzzle pages, the Fashion
Notes for Men, the practical advice
about how to make and keep oneself
beautiful, the lectures by a florist on
departments to the magazine are
full of especial interest this month.
