Cue -quarter of .the Gems Never Come Into Possessien of the Companies. • The recent important discoveries of .diamonds ,in South Africa draw • at. Minion. to an industry more full of romance even than that of ' gold mining; • for the story of South African diamond discoveries is crowded with happenings more start- ling and ;dramatic than most fiction. The story of the finding of the first diamond has often been told—how a man of the name of O'Reilly, trav- elling south from the Orange River, sought, a Light's rest at the- farm- house--of ar111-house' of ossa Nlekerk,, in the Hope - town altqq,,ttrict; how tl:e farmer pro- duced or his guest's inspection a handful of pretty pebbles picked. up by his children; and stow O'Reilly discovered among the pebbles a ilia- ' mond, which he sold at Grahams- town for 52,500. This is old history; but much that is equally romantic in the story of South African diamonds is remem- bered now by few. • It was only two years later—in 1809—that a stroke of rare luck calue Farmer Nie- kerk's way,, When a native chanced to show him alargo pebble, looking like a lump of alum, which, profiting — by his 'former experdence, he recog- Ve Iltze'd as a diamond of considerable value, He purchased it for 52,000 worth of his farm stock and a day or two later had 'drawn 550,000 for ib from a I•lopotown firm. This stone, known the whole world over as. "The Star of Smith Africa," eighty-three carats, is now valued at 5125,000, and is the most treas- ured of all the jewls of the Countess of;Dudley, vicereine of Ireland. THE ONLY TWO. It is a striking illustration of the irony of luck that these wore the only two 'diamonds of any value , that were foulid near II•optown; al- though a little later ten thousand trainers when ransacking the banks of the Vaal River, sacrificing their lives by hundreds through disease and hardships in the futile quest for more "Stars of South „Africa." In 1871 'wealth far "beyond the 'beams of avarice" was tapped, on De Beers farm near Dutoitspan, and diamonds- were being picked out of the walls of a farmhouse near the since famous Bultfontein mine. De Beers farm, even when it was known that it held a treasure of precious stones, was sold for $30,000, and later exchanged )halids for 55,000,000 How excellent a bargain it was even at the larger price can be told from the fact that it has since yielded nearly 525,000,000 worth of 'dia- monds in a single year, and that its original value has been estimated at • more than 5500,000,000, or nearly 'teen thousand times the price originally paid fbr it. The lholneatead beneath which was the treasurehousc of the (imberley mind actually changed hands at one time for eight sovereigns, while with- in fifteen years the mine had produc- ed diamonds of the value of 5100,- 000,000. Surely never in the his- tory of the world was better value given for a sovereign. Even when these diamond mines got into the hands of companies vast fortunes were made by many of the lucky shareholders, seeing that the original 950 shares of the London and Solith African Explorations Company, which owned the Bultfontein and Du- toitspan Usines, were later saleable at 53,000, representing the gratifying return of 5300 for every sovereign 01'101arc invested. 1k1 ANY AItIfl STOLEN.

Some of the very finest diamonds the ruins have ever pro'luced have been recovered from "boys" who have stolen them. Fifteen years ago a native working in the De Beers aline discovered a magnificent dia- :1-v.}-.,, mond, which proved too tnftch for his honesty, for he forthwith an- nexed it. It was recovered, how- ever, a few hours later by a 'detec- tive, and was found to be an abso- lutely flawless stone of ram beauty, weighing more then 8 oz. and meas- uring,• in its greatest length, nearly 2 in. A. stone of more than twice this weight was discovered a. few years • ago at Jagersfontein by a native, who promptly handed it over to the authorities and was rewarded for his honesty by a present of a and horse hun- dredSh art. sovereigns o a c O C . g This superb steno, one of the larg- est in the world, weighed in the sough 6.k oz. and measured almost exactly 8 in. across its major axis. The most dramatic feature of this discovery was that the stone was found on the very day on which the contract of the syndicate whose pro- perty it became, expired. DISEASES AND SEASONS. Physicians say that certain dis- eases follow the changing seasons with almost clockwork regularity. Thus acute rheumatism prevails from February till April, inflammation of the lungs from March till May, storn- ach and intestinal complaints in Aug- ust, and cholera from August to Oc- tober, On this basis some hygienists ,classify diseases into summer, au- tuimn, winter, and spring diseases. supported b is S71 O Th classification ey pr many s which show that weather chan''cs' really exert powerful influ- ences upon health and disease.

Lambeth Palace, the London resi- dence of the Archbishop of Gauter- bury, is now undergoing extensive repairs, the older portions of the palace having become decayed. Al- ready same progress has been made with the renovating of Norman Tow- ers, which bcforo the close of the twelfth century was selected as the princely town residence of the pri- mates, it cor tains specimens of almost c'sery style of architecture that prevailed during the intervening years. Norman and early English, with its spacious arch's, and the most conspicuous external features ofte, the high,irregular . i4ta•ucture. Two immense Norman towers facedue soutli. In the centre there. Is a mag- nificent ateniiicent stone archway and postern, The arch. is pointed beautifully. Groined above is an apartment call- ed the record tower, where until recently the archives of the see of Canterbury were deposited, The towers aro of red brick with the embattlements coped with stone. Recent examination showed that the external structures were much fretted and the tall hexagonal chim- neys above the roof in danger of falling. The decay is generally at- tributed to the atmosphere, which is impregnated with chemical fumes belched from factories in South Lam- beth. The work of reparation was not tifken in Band a clay too soon. The primate, it may not be generally ka .wn, pays a small sunt to the Bishop of Rochester as recognition that the palace is really in his epis- copal territory, for the bishops of Rochester made their homo at Lam - both at a much earlier date than the bishops of Canterbury. A CURE FOR RHEUMATISM. Even the Most Stubborn Cases of this Painful Malady Can be Cured. Rheumatism is caused by acid in the blood. That is an undisputed medical truth Liniments, outward applications can never cure what is rooted in the blood. A blood dis- ease like rheumatism must be cured through the blood. That is 'why rhottmatism always yields like magic to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills—they actually make new, rich, red blood This now blood conquers the painful poison, sweeps out the aching acid, soothes the nerves, loosens the mus- cles and banishes rheumatism from the system. Proof of this is found in the case of Air. Charles Leather - dale, a popular young druggist's as- sistant of Tilbury, Ont. Ido says : "I Icnow from personal experience that Dr, Williams' Pink Pills tune rheumatism, because they cured me taken two more boxes the pains were all gone, and,I felt like a new man. That is more than six months ago and I have not had a twinge of rheu- matism since. It is my belief that a fair course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will 'drive the most stubborn case of rheumatism out of the sys- tem and as a result of my own ex- perience I cheerfully recomauend them for this trouble." The pills cure all blood and nerve troubles such as rheumatism, sciati- ca, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, anaemia, neuralgia, indiges- tion, headaches, backaches, kidney troubles, and the ailments that make the lives of so many women a source of almost constant misery. Imitations an:d substitutes are some- times offered., and the buyer should see that the fail name, "Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,," is printed on the wrapper around every box. If in 'doubt send ''direct 'to the Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., Brock 'llbe Ont., and the pills will � the tl n mailed at X50 cents a box or six boxes for 52.50. .n 1 unpractical t urn a d surely, is oft. given td 'undervaluing things that the majority of people count as of Inst consequence.

ABY'S FIRST TOOTH. 'Every mother knows how much baby suffers while cutting 'teeth. Swollen, tender gums cause a fever- ish, fretful condition somtimes seri- ously affecting baby's health. This can be overcome, and the teething prones made easy by the use of Baby's Own Tablets. Proof of Ibis is given by Mrs. J.

Unique Ideas at Luncheons and Dinners to British Cele- brities. Novelties for the dinner -table are becoming as numerous as fashions in ladies' bonnets says London. An- swers, At a literary man's dinner a short time ago, for instance, there graced the centre of the table a number of characters taken from the same author's novels—wax dolls properly dressed in accordance with the de- scription accorded to each in the various novels. The idea was uni- que and cheerful, and it brightened the table and tate dinner, too. This was followed shortly after- wards by a literary luncheon, given by another well-known novelist, who scored a triumph in the "sweets" that were served up, these being made to resemble pens, ink, and paper. But while these and other recent attempts at striking some- thing new in the novelty line achiev- ed'distinction and applause for their inventors, there was something in the idea which,, while it pleased the eye and artistic taste, yet did not furnish anything practical. A: prac- tical novelty was wanted, and it has just been found in pats of butter. of to bo outdone by his "lit- erary" friends, a young English scul- ptor furnished a pretty decoration for the dinner -table, at which sat re- cently some of the first artists of the 'lay. This consisted of nothing less than a bust, done in butter, of each of the six guests whose company he had the pleasure of enjoying. TEE IDEA HAS CAUGHT' ON A little Sunlight Soap will clean tut glass and other articles until they shine and sparkle.. Sunlight Soap will wash other things than 113 t -f clothes. night,, There aro few people who are not gifted with the artistic taI- ent, and the vein is humored when it is sant to a pleasing yet simple test like that. Butter busts for the tables of t1 e very wealthy are made by not more than three known butter -model ar- tists. Theirs are real "butter lin- gers," for they turn out their models by, hand. The newly made busts are put into a refrigerator, where they get icacl, to prevent them from melting before use. At ono of the sports clubs recently the pats of butter were made to fur- nish several items in connection with sports of all kinds; the favourite sports "pat" is a dog's stead. These heads and busts of humans, too, aro made without the assistance of casts,. With the exception of those of the Bing and Queen,, Prince and Princess of Wales, Lord Roberts, Lord Kitchener, and a few other celebrities, whose presentment in but- ter call only be achieved by the but- ter fxugers of an artist who has but a picture to go by. Butter busts are to be the butter pats of the future. 4 A CALL FOR THE POLICE. Sequel to the Cruelties in. the Congo Free State. If "murder will out" in the indi- vidual sense, so, too, it will in the national sense. For years rumors of hideous cruelties perpetrated on the natives of the Congo Free State have filtered through to the outside world. The tales came first from mission- aries, and attracted little attention; but other travellers confirmed them and added to them., Finally a young English army of- ficer, 'who knows tide country and the conditions by actual experience, wrote a book which shocked ail.Eng- land by its revelations. Other mon besides missionaries aro roused when they hear of eighty human hands drying over a single fire—native hands severed as` penalty for not bringing in enough rubber. Now the British government has moved in the matter. I:Iis majesty's minister to Belgium has handed to the Belgian foreign minister a copy of a note addressed by Groat Britain to the signatory powers of the Ber- lin act. The note calls attention to practices in the Free State which are contrary to the spirit of the act— such practices as compulsory labor and military service, and the abuses which go with the system of mono- poly known as domain prive. It is, of course, impossible to tell what the outcome will be. but some alle- viation of the condition of the na- tives is probably. The incident is interesting from a political as well as from a humane point of view. The Congo Free State is really the creation of the powers. Before 1384 the only gov- ernment was a commercial associa- tion ssociation founded by King Leopold of Belgium to exploit the Congo basin. His project, however, was threaten- ed by the energy of Portuguese, French and other explorers, and in order to confirm his power he was instrumental in calling together what has since been known as the Berlin Congress. International recognition of the Free State as a sovereign govern- ment was thus secured, but only in consideration. of promises which made for civilization and the safety and Happiness of the natives. The break- ing of these promises gives to the signatories a power of interference such as not often exists in interna- tional affairs. and now it is becoming the fashion at wedding -parties and dinner -parties anti so forth, to mould the principal guest or bridal pair in butter, re- plicas of which are placed in proper position near to the covers laid for the guests. Reproducing the bust of sonde par- ticular friend or other in this way is done at small social gatherings, but at the more ambitious "meets" the custom of reproducing Britain's greatest celebrities obtains. At a dinner given to Lord Roberts a few weeks ago, at a small but ex- clusive club, the butter on tho table was moulded in the image and the like- ness guest, of e galgallant and n e e noble g s't , an example which was followed by Mr. I. Z. Deakin, an architect of Westminster, who, at a private din- ner which he gave last month, pro- duced the bust of the Icing in butter - Butter as a dairy product is a commodity man cannot do without, but since it can be turned into beau- tiful models, as neatly dope as mas- terpieces carved in marble, its value is doubled, if not trebled. Miniature busts of noted authors, composers, artists, statesmen, and royalties, dotted about on a table already laden • with flower's and tempting edibles and finet1e-sioele 'de- licacies of every description, enhance the epicurean surroundings, j ttst as the "Dreaming Iolant.ho"—a statuette made of butter by Lady Caroline Brooks—raised the tone of the gath- ering assembled, on festival bent, at a, )tall fn ;Whitechapel last May.

HORSES EDUCATED. Upon the wall of a stable adjoin- ing a wayside inn in Essex, Eng- land, may be seen printed m large black letters on a white background the strange notice: " Xforses Educat- ed." Upon inquiring of the pro- prietor of the inn the meaning of this notice, one may learn that a previous landlord was also a "horse breaker," and this was his way of advertising. • Discharged From the Hospital as Incurable, He Used Dodd's Kid- ney Pills With Splendid Results. Cottle's Cove, New Bay, Nfld.

"It is something worth relating what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done sol' me," says Mr. Boone, "and I am glad to tell it. I had doctored with several doctors and after seven months in the hospital was sent home as incurable.

It is a. rule with many retail hous- es in Paris to rent several square metres of pavement in front of their premises for the better display of stock in trade. and as additional selling space, and at sale times the public pavement in front of some of the large ''drapery establishments is transformed not only into a shop, but into a "trying -on" department. Customers of both sexes think no- thing of taking off their own hats to try on others, and getting into jack- ets ticketed at five francs, or four - franc "peignoirs," before the eyes of the world. The scene is typically French, and passers-by see nothing unusual in it, as, indeed. there is not on the other side of the Chan- nel.
