A slave, poor and naked, was toiling In the till ties at Portreal, In India, just as many thousands of others were toiling beside him, scraping up the pebbly soli, washing the mud, carefully looking for diamonds. Everybody was looking for diamonds, except those who were looking after the slaves. All the large diamonds belonged to the Mogul, but lie never got them; nil the lesser Bioiu*s neiongeu to the Kinlr, tvlio got very few of tlieiu; and none nt all belonged to the slaves, who only stole then). To steal a diamond was the highest of crimes in tlulcoiida and was often punished by death. And yet the slaves were continually stealing them. The slave of whom we speak was toiling, washing, looking and remembering how many lind escaped with diamonds; he began to consider what he should do In case he found one. There would not be the least use in swallowing It. "1 have it!" he said, slapping his loan leg. "1 have thought of a new way of hiding a diamond!" That night, when all was still, he got a sharp tllut and'made a great gash Ln the firm muscle of the calf of his leg, and then carefully bandaged it up with some green leaves and am old cotton rag. "What's the matter with your leg?" said the overseer in the morning. "Oil, most excellent master! my unwortldness slipped and fell against a sharp rack in the nlgld-time. Mce! the blood of jour faithful slave Hows from the wound." lie raised a corner of his bondage, and sure enough several drops of blood trickled down. "I'lnplt!" said the overseer, "I'm not going to let you off your work on account of that scratch." "My faithfulness will work to the death for you. oh, noble master." said '.lie stave. A n?l so lie hobbled off to the diamondwashing. Hy-u 11? 1 -1 ?.\" In1 found some diamonds. but. ihey were snuill. nnd not w-rth risking liis 1 ift* for, therefore the slave handed t.hcm in to the overseer, who also passed them on, as they were smaller than what he usually appropriated to himself. Hut a wonderful piece of good tori tine befell the clever slave. One day as he washed his mud he noticed a large lump iliat did not wasli down, lie took it between his thumb ami tinker to crack the lump and lo! it would would not crack. The slave's heart gave a great leap of joy. Ills lingers had felt the greasy, slippery texture of a diamond, ami had toueln <1 the sharp cutting edges of crystallization. A diamond as big as a lion's egg! in a moment it was under the bandage of his leg, in another it was shoved bodily into the wound itself. It does not make a sore in your leg any better to shove a big diamond into it. Next morning he was very bad ami his leg was inhumed. "What are you trying lo sham for?" tvtid th?' overseer. "1 know what's the inner wuii .vim. i mi ve neon swallowing diamonds. 1 won't out off your hend this timo. 1 mit you had bottor look out. iitul if it ever liappous again !" Ho !*"?ft bit ; with a dark look and in a fow ininutcM returned with something In a bowl. It was a stiff oiuotio. "Now. I lion, swallow this, and you will bo relieved of your pain." said the overseer. "My faitlifatness will swallow anything your nobleness gives me. but no diamonds will eonie." said the slave. He was dreaufull.\ sick but no diamonds came. :ts there were none swallowisl. The overseer said he would give him another dose the next day, but he took no not.ee of the sore in the slave's leg. The next day brought the medieine, but no diamonds. "Ho. %e like a dog in tlie jungle." said the overseer angrily. "I don't know what is the matter with yon." The slave kKsisl the ground where the great overseer stood and crawled away, very lame indeed. 1 ty and by that lame slave, pretty nearly well, turind up at Madras. I l is leg got w ell when 1 e took the (linn !i< 1 out of Unwound. lie had the largest diamond in world to sell, and when he hud done so tee thought he would be a twj groat men, and hare slaves otf his own and even an elephant, too. He woulc do just as he liked for the rest of his life. He came across a ship captain tc whom he showed the diamond. "I sometimes buy stones like that," said the captain airily. He was nearly choking with surprise at the beauty and the enormous size of the gem "Gome down to my ship and we will see If we cannot come to a bargain.' The captain was a seafaring man on land, but when at sea. be was sr.!-.-? thing more like a pirate, as the slave found out when he went down to hte ship. The captain was waiting for him, not with a bag of money, however, but with a club. The slave was killed and thrown overboard to feed the sharks, nam uisxi was una ena or nam arui tils line dreams of wealth and happiness, The captain now wanted to sell his 111gottcn diamond. Jomehuud, a mer oliaut, gave him a thousand pounds for It, and thereupon lie turned over.the stone to that Individual. Fancy a piratical skipper -with an evil conscience and a thousand pounds in hand in one lump. What should he do to show his happiness but take to drink? He did so, and one line day, mad with drink, he could not think of any other way to get rid of the haunting Image of that wretclied slave whom he had killed, than by tying a rope around his own nock, and drawing It so tightly that all Images were for ever more blotted out. So the skipper hanged himself, and that was the second owner of the big diamond who had come to grief. Now Jamchund thought he would go to the Governor of Fort St. George with his stone. Mr. Pitt was the governor, a sharp gentleman, who did a bit of trading on his own account. "Oh, most gracious and noble of patrons! I have here a trifle I would gladly lot you see. I would show it to no one else. Its beauty Is reserved for your greatness to l*?hold." Thus Jamchim to Fitt. -*jome a-iong now, and snow what ever you've got to soil and don't keep lue her? all day." Thus Titt (approximately) to Jainehund. There were also pipes and pauses in the conversation so that it took a long time In reality. Finally Jamchund opened a box and showed to Mr. Pitt the largest diamond he had ever seen, considerably Larger than he had ever even dreamed of. He gasped will) amazement. Jauichuud rejoiced Inwardly. "What Is the price of that stone?" asked* the Governor. "Two hundred thousand pagodas," answered Jmnchund sweetly. "Two hundred thousand demons!" said the Governor. "What do you mean by naming such an impossible sum? Why don't you ask for the nearest star and have done wit.li it?" "Excellency, 1 should be ruined if I took less," said Jamchund. "Even so, I gain but a contemptible commission, hardly enough to live on. And it is only to your Excellency 1 offer It at so modosr a tlgnrc." To appreciate Jnmcliund's kind modesty, it will he well t:> reduce pagodas to dollars. Two hundred thousand pagodas is aland $400,000. As he gave the skipper $.">,000 his commission and the Insignificant nature of it can be seen a t a glance. "Jamchund, 1 will give you 30.000 pagodas for that diamond and not a penny more," said the Governor. "Excellency, that would 1h> pure do st.ruct.ion and destitution for me. I cannot do it, oven for you," said Jamchund as lie liowod hlinself out. lie stayed away two months. "Excellency, I have come back," he said on his return, "to say that I could not rest easy in my mind if any one except your Nobleness should possess my inestimable diamond." "Which means you cannot lind another purchaser," said the practical (Jovernor. "What is your figure now?" "Fifty thousand pagodas. It is beggary, but 1 shall have a clear conscience," said the humble Jamchund. "Forty-live," sn.iil the (Jovernor, inwardly observing that if the stone were good, it must prove a pennyworth. "Forty-nine thousand. Excellency! .lust to save me from absolute penury," whined .lamchund. "I'll give forty-six, and no more." "Think of my risk, noble Excellency! Say forty-nine thousand." "What is yon risk? I?i?l you steal it from the Mogul?" "The sun, moon and stars listen to that! No. 1 bought it at a fabulous figure. Hut think of the risk I have run of having it stolen from me." "Well, I'll give forty-seven thousand," said the (Jovernor. "And 1 have come down from two hundred thousand to forty-nine!" sighed .lamchund. "It is ruinous generosity! 1 will say forty-eight thousand to show my devotion to your Excellency's Interest." "Hosh!" said his Excellency, and turning to an English gentleman he asked lii 111 li!s opinion. "My opinion." said tho onieJo, "is that a tiling that is worth forty-seven thousand |?igodas is wry likely to lie worth forty-eight ihousand." "riin.uk you." said tho fJovornor. "I novor thought about it in that light before. 1 will pay forty-eight thousand pagodas then." And lie paid them. The advice s uindetl foolish, but it proved valuable, for upon that diamond the fortunes of a great family w< re solidly founded. The Mr. I'bt who bought this diamond was grandfather to the great Karl of Chatham. ltoho'.d now Mr. l'itt the jiossessor of the big diamond, and his troubles began ill mo-! as stM ' ! i as that fan became known. When lie returned to Ktiglaicd he had Ids stone etlt and polished, it took two years to do that, and at the end of thut time ITU's eyes were glad "T :-1? ' dened irith ths rffht of the moit dan* , tllng gam the world had aver beheld. I "Who'll buy, who'll buy?' was nov i his cry. But though many woukl, ac ? Ixxly could, and queens shook their heads sadly. It was beyond them. ' The big diamond become an awful bur? ' deai to Its owner. Everyone was & thief * in his fancy. A learned German traveled to England and wanted to see Pitt I and his pebble. "Never!" said the harassed owner. ! i "He will assassinate me." He fled to | town, he changed his name, he fled ! 1 back to the country, and changed his 1 name again. The learned German con- j sldered such a life not worth living at i any price. By this time Pitt never . 1 dared to sleep two consecutive nights ' In the same house. ' At last somebody came focrward as a 1 ?nK ? ? ?1 A*** |/iuvuomu x ui0 uiuic ct 1CU<1 wiV. 11 was IxhiIs, Duke of Orleans, Regent of France for the boy king Louis XV. St. Simon, a wily courtier, tempted tlio Duke to buy the big diamond. 1 The Duke of Orleans objected. "We hare no money in the treasury," 1 he said. 1 "That Is nothing! You can borrow," 1 said the courtier. ' "We hare no credit." "Still less Important! Borrow from tho people." "The people are starving," said the Duke. 1 "Highness, buy the diamond. Tho i people will applaud your spirit. They will be proud to think their king wears a diamond that no other monarch dared to buy. Tho French admire a spirited policy. Buy it. They will never taunt you with It" Thus spoke St Simon, courtier and philosopher1; thoroughly understanding Ills nation. The big diamond was bought and the sum paid to Mr. Pitt was $67B,000. He bad given Jamchund $100,000.* Jamchund gave the skipper $5,000, and tho skipper gave his life and so did the slave. A costly stone, Indeed! Now a strange thing happened. During the revolution this big diamond wns stolon along with all the rest of the French orown jewels. There was 1 n terrific row, and political parties accused each ?their of the theft. Some said It was the royalists, and some said It was the republicans. However that may be the thieves were certainly Frenchmen, for a few days nfterwnjd the secretary of the Garde Mobile got a note to say that he had only to hunt in a spot carefully described 111 the Champs Elysees to find the big diamond. A search wn* made, ami sure enough, there was the diamond as bright as ever. The thief could not bring himself to rob France of the prize gem which placed her first of all the nations of (Europe in the matter of diamonds. Even the thief was patriotic. Old St. Simon was right. The peoide took the big diamond into its very Jicart. Napoleon pawned the stone ami got In that way money, for liis first eaniiKi.lgiia. The diamond may thus have been the beginning of his fortunes, niwl who shall say how many lives that cost? Now does anyone want to see this big diamond? Let him go into the long gallery of the Ixmvre, and there he will see a glass case surrounded by a brass railing, Inside of which stands an armed guard. In the middle of tlie case is a twinkling stone looking for nil the world as if a star had fallen from the skies and lodged there, so bright, | so bountiful, so (lashing, Is this point of light. Let him walk nil around the case and notice the sparkles that dart from the facets of that diamond: sunbeams polity outward towai'd Die windows every color In quintessence of brightness, shimmering, flashing, darting In every direction at every moment. Let him look at and wonder at and admire the most beautiful diamond in the world, but let him ask no questions. for the armed guard scowls at quest loners, and. as in the days of Pitt, suspects everyone that inquires about tids wonderful stone. For this is a true story, and the name of the big diamond is "The Regent."?The Weekly Bouquet. "LIMITED" BUSINESS CONCERNS What the Term Stands For and Why It Is Heeomlncr Popular, The word "limited" in connection with corporations ami business firms, says a prominent lawyer, is now In very general use. It originated in England, and almost every business concern there is a limited partnership. Of all the cities in tills country Philadelphia lias more limited partnerships ' than any oilier, though there was not one there twenty-live years ago. Philadelphia g.?t the Idea during the Centennial. and. it having been found by experience to be a good tiling, it lias grown constantly. It means that those luierosiou ki a nriu are oiuy interested to : liiiiit<Ml extent; that Is, only to the extent In which it is stated In the artl- . eles of incorporation. The limit of one member of a linn, therefore, may be S.'.ntiO, while the limit of another may be ten times that amount, or one-tenth or any other part. Thus, In the firm of Itrown, .Tones & Co., Limited, (frown may have three-fourths of the stork and .Tones and the others the remaining fourth. It limits the responsibility, as It makes a member of the firm liable only for that which is named in the artieles of incorporation. In this kind of linns or corporations the law which allows them to limit their responsibility i also requires that the word "Limited" shall always be used In naming the firm, so that all may know exactly that, though there may be a large number of very heavy men financially Interest<sl in the concern, their interest and ro- ' 1 sponslbillty are limited. It Is a fair ' ! thing all around, for It prevents the use ' of big mines, which have soinctlme? been used to lioom enterprises and corpora* ions. when in reality the owners 1 i of tlie names have had but little inter- < est Lu the concerns. : 1 HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. Hri, Rorer's Tomato Ketchup. Mrs. S. T.

Cook gently for half an hour, then press through A sieve. Cook again for one hour; then add one ounce of ground ginger, one ounce of mustard, one gill of salt, half a pound of sugar, and one quart of vinegar.

T, Purer, in Ladies' Homo Journal. Kxccllctit Cucumber Fickle. Make a ten-gallon keg of strong brine on which uu egg will float. Put the oucumbers in a bag made of a yard of sleezy white cotton, tie up its mouth with a string and place a clean stono 011 it to keep it in place under the brine, and every cucumber is safe and sound until you wish to pickle them. When that time comes, which should not bo for six weeks, soak them in fresh water for twenty-four hours. Then put them in n preserving kettle with enough vinegar to. cover them. Set them on the stove and boil gently until a straw can easily pierce them. Have ready a jar that will hold them. Remove from the kettle and throw the vinegar away. Put into the kettle nearly twice as much vinegar as they were boiled in and set on the stove to boil. Now weigh the cucumbers, and allow a quarter of a pound of sugar to every pound of cucumbers. In every ten pounds of pickle allow three onions and half an ounce of mace, cloves, alspice, giuger und two three-inch sticks of cinnamon, a quarter of an ounce each of tumeric, black pepper and mixed mustard, 0110 ounce 'of white mustard seed and one ounce of scraped horse radish.- Slice, the onions, crack the spices, mix the mustard and tumeric together into a smooth paste. Put all of the sugar and half of the spices into the vinegar that is in the kettle; sprinkle the rest of the spice with the other ingredients in alternate layers between the cucumbers as you put them .in tho jar. When the vinegar has - been boiling just ten minutes stir into it tho mixed mustard and tumeric and Vemovo it instantly from the tire and pour over the pickles. Cover it up closely and set it away. In a few days it. will be ready for uso. The traveler was not far wrong when he pronounced it "nlorious niekle."?ChicnCo Record. * , ? , 1 (I I If otlflolioltl Hint*. Vegetables growing ubovo tho ground should be cooked in salted water, those below, in fresh water. Colors which have been changed by tho application of acids may be restored by tho application of chloroform. When cooking onions, set a tin cup of vinegar on tho stove and let boil, and no disagreeable odor will be in tho room. Fruit stains, when fresh, may be removed by pouring water through the stained portion until the spot disappears. Ink that is freely spilt upon a carpet should l?e covered with common or coarse salt or Indian meal. If all the stain is not absorbed rub with lcinou juice. Grass stains should he rubbed with molasses thoroughly and then wash, d out as usual. Another treat nent is to rub with alcohol and then wash in water. Our fruit stains may bo removed wita oxalic acid; wash the stained portion in the acid till clear; rinse at once in rain water as the acid will attack the fabric if left upon it. Now wet the spot in ammonia and give a final rinsing. When potatoes are thoroughly baked, burst the skin, and you will have delicious, mealy potatoes that will bo eatable for an hour or more if kept in a warm place. If you are not in the habit of doing this, you do not know what an excellent thing a baked potato really is. Rust and ink stains should bo rubbed with juice of lemon and the spot then covered with salt and the cloth placed in the sun. If this treatment does not serve to remove the stain, or if the fabric is colored and sq cannot bo treated with lemon juice, oxalic acid may ho used as for old fruit stains. Tea, cofl'ee and undoubtedly cocoa stains, oven thoso which had been previously washed, may bo rubbed in javelle water, if the fabric stained be white, otherwise the color will be bleached. Take a half-pint of the javello water to a quart of clear water and let the stained portion of the cloth soak in it for several hours, then rinse thoroughly in three waters.
