The recent important discoveries of din months in South Africa draw at- tention to an iluhu.try more full of rolualiee exon than tlln.t of gold mining; for the story of South Arriruu diamond discoveries i$ crowded with 1lappenings more start- ling and drama( is Glue meet nclton. The story of the finding of the first diamond bus often berm told—bow a man of the mule of O'Reilly, trove Citing south from the Orange River, sought a eight's rest ut the farm- house of olio Niekcrk, in the Hope - town (Hetrick bow the (011)1er pro- duced for his guest's inspection a heedful of pretty pebbles picked lip by his children; and how O'Reilly discoverer) oolong the pebbles a (Am- niotic', which he sold at Grahams- town for $3,800. ".Chir: is old llistoi•y; but much that is equally t'onlantic In the story of South African diamonds is remora - b01111 now by few, It was only two years later—in 18th)—that a stroke ilf rare luck came Farmer Nie- berk's way,• when a native chanced to show him a large pebble, looking like u. lump of alum, which, profiting by his former exlennionce, lie recog- nized as a eiau10oc1 of considerable value. Ifo purchased 1t for $2,000 worth of his -farm stock and a day or two tater had 'drawn $50,000 for it front a Hopetown firm, This stoma, known the whole world over as "The Star of South Africa," eighty-three carats, is now vetoed at $125,000, and ]s the umosttteas- ured of all the ievis of the Countess of Dudley, Sic 1,110 of Ireland. THE ONLY TWO. It is a striking iliustratien of the irony of luck that these were the only two diamonds of any value that were found near Iloptown; al- though 11itell0 later ten thousand miners when ransacking the banks of the Taal. River, sacrificing their lives be hundreds through disease and hardships in the futile quest for more "Stars of South Africa." In 1871 wealth far "beyond the dreams of avarice" was tapped on De 'Dyers farm near Dutoitspan, and 'diamonds were being picked out of the walls of a farmhouse near the since famous Bultfoat(in mine. De Beers farm, oven when it was known that it held a treasure of precious stenos, was sold for $80,,000, and later exchanged hands for $5,000,000 XTow excellent a bargain it was oven at the larger price can be told from tho fact that it has since yielded nearly $25,000,000 worth of dia- monds in a single year, and that its original value has been estimated at more than 3500,000,000, or nearly seventeen thousand times the price originally paid for it. The homestead beneath which was the treasurehouso of the Kimberley mine actually changed bands at ono time for eight sovereigns, while with- in fifteen years the mine had produc- ed diamonds of the value of 31.00,- '000,000. Surely never in the ,his- tory of the world was better value given for a sovereign, Even when those diamond 01iues got into the beards of companies vast fortunes were made by many of the lucky shareholders, seeing that the original te5U shares of the London and. South African Explorations Company, Which owned the Dulifonteizt and Du- toit.spnn mines, were later• saleable at $8,000, representing the gratifying return of $300 for every sovereign originally invested. MANY ARE STOLEN, In spite of the marvellous harvest yielded by those South African flute mond COulpanins, il. is stated thad fully a fourth of the stones found never tomo into the companies' peer session at all, but, in spite of the utmost care and the most exhaustive searching of the natives, aro stolen. This leakage does not appear to be due to any want of generosity in treating the datives; for a bonus of 7e per come. of the value of the stones discovered is offered to the finders. Some of the very finest diamonds the mines have over produced have been recovered from "boys" who have stolen deem. Fifteen years ago a native wo:..Ing in the De Boers mine discovered a magnificent dia- mond, which proved too much for his honesty,. for Ile forthwith an- n0xed,11. It was recovered, how- ever, a few hours later by a 'detec- tive, and was found to bo an abso- lutely flawless stone of rare beauty, weighing more than 8 oz. and meas- uring,, in its greatest length, nearly 2in, A stone of more than twice- this weight was discovered a few years ago at Jagersfontein by a native, ,a who promptly handed it over to the authorities and was rewarded for his honesty by a present of a hun- dred sovereigns and a horse and cart. This superb stone, one of the larg- est in the world, weighed in the rough fie oz, and measured almost exactly 3 in. across its major axis: The most dramatic feature of this discovery was that the stone was found on the very day on whl'c)t the contract of the syndicate whose pro - petty, it became, expired. 4 DISEASES AND SEASONS. Physicians say that certain dis- eases follow the changing seasons with almost clockwork regularity. w Thus a6at0 fhOt14 a p from Yl tiem prevails fro February till April, inflammation of ;oho Lungs from March till May, stom- ach and intestinal complaints in Aug - gist, and cholera from August to Oc- tobet'. On this basis some hygienists classify diseases into summer, au- ttifann, winter; and spring diseases, The classification is supported by Y many facts which show 'that weather cleanses really exert powerful inept- aures tllson health and disease, To 1 vitt these dilutive cepa sucncssru ly t and their ilai'nlf rl illntlenees, daily exercise in the open air in all kinds of weather, and at all seasons of the year, is the best p(eparatioll.

Lambeth Palace, the London resi- dence of the Archbishop of Canter- bury, is now undergoing extensive repairs, the older portions of tho palaco having become decayed. Al- ready some progress has been made with the renovating of Norman Tow- ers, s o f the ors, which before the twelfth century was selected as the princely town residence of the pri- mates. It contains specimens of almost every style of architecture that prevailed during the intervening years, Norman and early English, with its spacious arches, and the most conspicuous external features of tho high,il•ragular structure. Two immense Norman towers face duo south, In the centre there is a mog- niliceat stone archway and postern. The arch is pointed beautifully. Groined shove 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 failing. 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 Olken in hand a day too soon. The primate, it may not be generally iceown, pays a small sum to the Bishop of Rochester as recognition that the palace is really in his epis- copal territory, for the bishops of Rochester made their home at Lam- beth 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 bo cured through the blood. That is why rheumatism always yields lilco magic to Dr. ;Williams' Pink Pills—they actually make new, rich, red blond This new blood conquers the painful poison, sweeps out the aching acid, soothes the llOrVOS,• loosens the mus- cles and banishes rheumatism fi'orn the system. Proof of this is foudtd in the case of her, Charles Leather- dalc,, a popular young druggist's as- sistant 0f Tilbury, Ont, Ne says : "I know from p0080nel experience teat Dr, Williams' Pink Pills euro rheumatism, because they cured me of a severe attack that for 'mot111115 caused me moony sleepless nights, and painful days. X had tried a mem- bee bee of other medicines, but they failed. Their I decided to give the pills a trial, Before I had finished the second box the pains began to leave ate, and by the time X had 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 Cao of rheumatism out of the sys- tem and as a result of my own ex- perience xperienco I cheerfully r00001men:d them for this trouble." The pills cure all blood and nerve troubles such as rheumatism, sciati- ca, partial paralysis, St, Vitus' dance, anaemia, neuralgia, ilidiges- tion, headaches, backaches, kidney troubles, and the ailments that make the lives of so many w.omeln a source of almost constant misery. Imitations Deed substitutes are some- times offered, and the buyer should see that the fail name, "Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Palo People," is printed on the wrapper around every box, If in doubt send 'direct to the Dr. Williams' Medicine 00., Brock- ville, Ont., and the pills will be mailed at 50 cents a box or six boxes for 32.50.

BABY'S FIRST TOOTH. Every mother knows how much baby suffers while cutting teeth. Swollen, tender gums cause a fever- ish, fretful condition sometimes seri- ously affecting baby's health. Thds can bo overcome, and the teething process made easy by the use of Baby's Own Tablets. Proof of this is given . by Mrs. J. Peckover, New Liskeard, Ont., who says : "X am the mother of six children and X can truthfully say that Baby's Own Tablets - is bettor than any other medicine I have ever used for the ills of little ones. X can especially re- o:e mend them for teething children, .and would advise all mothers to use them." The Tablets cure all the minor ills from Which infants and young child- ren suffer, and are guaranteed to contain no opiate or harmful drug.

Unique Ideas at L- uncheons and Dinners to British Cele- brities. Novelties for the dinner -table aro be0olniug as numerous as fashions in ladles' 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 or characters taken from the same author's novels—wax dolls properly dressed in accordance with the de- ecription accorded to each in the various novels. The idea Was 'Uni- que and cheered, and it brightened the table and the 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 wore served up, these being made to resemble pone, ink, and paper. But while these acid other recent attempts at striking some- thing new in the novelty, lino 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 practiced. 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 E1511011 scul- ptor furnished a pretty decoration for the 'limner -table. at which sat re- cently some of the first artists of the flay. 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. TIED IDEA HAS OAUGI•Ilh ON and now it is becoming the fashion at wending -parties and f(itmer-+parties and so forth, to mould the principal guest or bridal pall' in butter, 1'e- pifcas of which are placed in proper position near to the covers laid for the guests. Reproducing the bust of some par- ticular friend or other in this way is dorso at small social gatherings, but at the more ambitious "meets" the custotn of reproducing Britain's greatest celebrities obtains. At a 'dinner given to Lord Roberts a few weeks ago, at a sluall but ex- cliusive clulb, the butter on the table was moulded in the image aid like- ness of the gallant and noble guest, an example which was followed by Mr. I. Z. Deakin, an architect of Westminster, who, at a private *din- ner which ho gave last 11'uonth, pro- diced the bust of the Bing in butter - pats. Butter as a wiry product is a commodity man cannot do without,, but since it can bo bound into bea u- ti models, as neatly 'done as has- terrieccs carved 01 mnrble, its value is dol1bleel, if not trebled. Miniature busts of noted authors, composers, artists, statesmen, and t'oyalties, 'dotted about on a table already laden with fibwees and tempting edibles and female-siccle 'de- 110811es of every description, enhance the epicurean surroundings, just as h D. t'en a11ing Telanthe"—e, statuette to matte of butter by Lady Carolillo 131'ooles—raised Geo tonne of the 1 '1- on festival bent at gath- eringssenh oc a , , a hall in 1IV)litechapd last May.

Butter -busts for the tables of the very wealthy are made by not more than three known butter -model ar- tists. Theirs are real "butter fin- gers," for they turn out their models by hand. The newly made busts are put into a refrigerator, where they got iced, to prevent them from melting before use. At one of the sports clubs recently theats of butter were made to fur- nish, several items le connection. with sports of all kinds; the favourite sports "pat" is a dog's head. Those heads and busts of humans, too, aro muds without the assistance of casts, with the exception of those of the King and Queen,, Prince and Princess of Wales, Lord Roberts, Lord l0iteh+enor, and a few other celebrities, whose presentment in but- ter can only be achieved by the but- ter fingers of all artist who has but a picture to go by. Butter busts aro to be the butter pats of the future, A CALL FOR THE POLICE. Sequel to theCrueltiesin 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 the country and the conditions by actual experience, wrote a book which shocirked all Eng- land by its revelations. Other men besides missionaries are roused when they hear of eighty human hands drying over a single fire—native bonds severed as penalty for not bringing in enough rubber. Now the British government has moved in the matter. His majesty's minister to Belgium has handed to the Belgian foreign minister a copy of a note addressed by Great 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 es domain pl'ive. It is, of course, ifnpossibie 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 vlow. The Congo Free State is really the creation of the powers. Before 1884 the only gov- ernment was a commercial associa- tion founded by King Leopold of Belgium to exploit the Congo basin. IIis 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, TIM break- ing of these promises gives to the signatories a power of interference such as not often exists iu interna- tional affairs.

Upon the wall of a stable adjoin- ing a wayside inn in Essex, Eng, land, may be. seen printed in largo black letters on a white background the strange notice: "Horses 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.
