Though the Output is Increasing, the
Prices Are, Going Up.
As the result of last month', advances
clef G per cent., diamonds are now dearer
by 20 per cent. than at any time since
the consolidation of the De Beers mines
in South Africa. The United States
last year imported diamonds to thea
value of $8,403,222,
The output of the De Beers companies,
whielt control 93 per cent. of the world's
supply, was for the year ending in
November, 1903, $26,205,000, on which
was realized a profit of $11,511,000. It
is estimated that the South African
mines have added $400,000,000 worth of
diamonds to the world's stock. Sur -
trise will be excited by the statement
hat not 5 per cent. of the diamonds in
the world have been lost in a hundred
years.
Amsterdam is still the centre of the
"diamond industry. There 8,956 persons
are engaged in splitting, polishing and
cutting these precious stones in sixty-
four "factories." Considering the ex-
pertness demanded for this work their
weekly wages of from $10.05 to $20.10
appear disproportionate to the skill re-
quired.
The United States has become the
chief importer of diamonds, with Russia
next, and France and England in the
order named. No doubt their increased
popularity with us is in part due to
the recognition of their desirability as
an investment not liable to great finan-
eial fluctuation in value.—New York

THE BUSINESS CLERGYMAN.
A young minister was called a few years
ago to a church in a thriving eastern city.
His predecessor had been a well known
preacher whose sermons had attracted large
congregations, but whose• expressed belief
was that the clergyman's single duty was the
spiritual welfare of his people. 'rue church
had failed to meet current expenses for sev-
eral years, and its considerable debt was in-
eeeasing with mechanical regularity. The
newcomer was not a wonderful orator, but he
had a firm mouth and jaw. 'Within two
Years he was at the head of a smoothly run -
rang business organization whose depart-
ments were handled by men who understood
their work and did it, which discounted its
hills and reduced its old lndebtednesss. The
church had became a working church.
""rho church," he said one day, is a tma-
poral organization doing an entirely practi-
cal work. Business integrity is as necessary
to its continuance and definite achievement
is as necessary to its advance as in any
other tempora !organization."
"Your predecessor was right, however,"
skup ne Ia�leLos'olmile; "he always said the members,
provide; the Lord did provide you."—From
Leslie's Monthly Magazine for November.

idea of preparing a tonic that would

of the physicians act on the human
eel. He opened a shop in the Pave -
t, York, soon moved to larger quar-
and as the business grew, leased the
Linen Mills" on Navigation Road,
c. Later, another mill was erected
Cull. A business of considerable mag -
de developed, .and Mr. Myers, for a
tering consideration, disposed of his
rests. It was then he came to Can -
and. located in Niagara Falls. Some
•s after, Mr. Myers was forced to
the manufacture of the Royal Spice
:;ngiand because the company which
purchased the rights did not keep
c agreement. Recently Mr. Myers
.ed London and was approached by
,;;alists, who induced him to re-estab-
the business. Thus it is that Can -

BEHIND THE HUMAN EYES.
Invention Has Been Perfected for Pho-
tographing the Cavity.
The dlfliculties opticians have experi-
enced in arriving at an accurate diag-
nosis of the complaints from which their
patients are suffering have . led to ex.
petrineents in epi otographing %he eye.
For this purpose an instrument has re-
cently been invented, affecting optical
vesciencelopment in' generalo£the, 'and the further de -
specialist's pro-
fession in treating eye diseases and
faculty vision in particular. According
to a German exchange the assistant of
the university clinic of the Royal ebar-
ity hospital, Dr. Walter -Thorner, has
succeeded in solving a problem which
had received Hauch attention from many
others before him, but with little or no
success. He has managed to photograph
the background of the eyo and obtain
good pictures 'of it; too. His invention re-
presents a material movement on the
ophthalmoscope invented by Helmholtz
1850. The latter, however, only ad-
mitted .of viewing the background of the
eye.
The fact that all attempts to photo-
graph the interior or the background of
the eye had remained fruitless so far
was due to the' peculiar construction of
the eye. It is difficult to light up the
interior to such an extent es to enable
one to take a photograph of it, and
even in the use of strong sources of
light the exposure would require so
much time that the 'eye wiuld have to
be fixed, which would mean •great in-
convenience to the patient. Now Dr.
Tlic>•rner has constructed an apparatus
with which he first succeeded in pho-
tographing the eyes of animals,' especi-
ally cats.

The Politeness of the Malays.
"In all my jaunts in eastern lands I
have found no country as interesting
as the Malay States, that long strip of
peninsula which is encompassed on the
east by the China Sea and on the west
by the Strait of Malacca," said Mr. Mar-
cus Luning, of San Francisco. "I lived.
over there for more than a year, and got
pretty well acquainted with the people
and their institutions.
"The Malays are in many ways a fine
race.With them personal cleanliness is
held in high esteem, and the common
custom is to take two baths a day. They
are likewise the politest folk I 'ever met.
I had a whole retinue of servants, and
yet I could never get used to thinking
of them or treating them as servants
because of their superlative courtesy:
So polite were they that it seemed as
though they were doing me a favor when
they asked for an advance on their
wages, and they were continually in my
debt, because of the impossibility of
denying requests made in such an orn-
ately deferential way."—Washington

HE CARRIED SAMPLES.
During a meeting of the Louisville
Presbytery last week, Delegate Haw-
thorne, of Princeton, told this story
of pioneer days, and vouched for its
accuracy: One of the circuit riders in
my part of the State was extremely
fond of pepper sauce, and as he could
seldom find any stroii enough at places
where he stopped, he always carried
a bottle with ham. He happened to be
at a hotel one night, though he usually
stopped at the home of a friend. A
man sat across the table from him,
and, seeing the sauce, asked if the min-
ister would share it with him. The
request was granted, and the stranger
poured out a liberal allowance of the
sauce into his soup. At the first swal-
low he made a wry face and blurted
out: "Minister, do you preach hell?"
"Yes, brother." was the reply. "Why
do you ask?" "Because you are the
first preacher I ever saw who carried
samples," was the answer.—New York
Tribune.
Utilizing the Sun's Rays.
At Los Angeles, Cal., the experiment
has been tried of using the heat of the
sun to create power and to heat water
for domestic purposes. At an ostrich
farm near the city a solor motor is in
operation every sunny day,, or about
three hundred in a year, and pumps 1,-
400 gallons in a minute. Solar heaters
are placed on the roofs of houses and
connected with water pipes. One heater
will supply water for domestic purposes
for an ordinary family.

A Cause of Success.
It is a strong testimonial to the ef-

the manager of a food concern credits

his success in introducing into every sec-

ly new forms of food, for which a de-
mand had to be created. "It, cost a lot of
money," he says, "but the results have

such a cure. This district could furnish

"I suffered for . thirty-eight months

Smoke Means Wasted Fuel.
Smoke means waste. The science of
smoke prevention and the science of per-
fect combustion are equivalent terms,
Once make a factory owner realize this
and he is won over ,to the cause, for if
he has intelligence enough to manage a
business he must know that perfect com-
bustion of fuel means no waste. Consider
'the analogy of a coal oil lamp. Turn up
the wick and the lamp smokes. You are
using too much oil, and getting less
light. The same is precisely true of a
furnace. A smoking chimney -stack means
too much fuel—and less heat. Once get
the factory owner to understand this—
to know that those belclneeg clouds of
black smoke means wasted money gone
up the chimney and less power for his
machinery—and you have converted him.

A Good Dog Story.
One can • almost always find a good
story about animals, in the London Spec-
tator. The following is reproduced from
a book called Wild Sports of the High-
lands. The author writes that the most
curious example of,a dog's understanding
of conversation was shown him by a
shepherd. Like the dogs of modern
Greece, which keep watch along the little
banks that enclose their master's bar-
ley fields, the sheep dogs watch their
master's small crop of oats with great
fidelity and keenness, keeping off all in-
truders in the shape of cattle, sheep and
horses. A shepherd once, to prove the
value of his dog, which was lying before
the fire in the house, said in the middle
Of a sentence concerning something el -e,
`I'm thinking, sir, the cow is in the pota-
toes: The dog, which appeared to bo
asleep, immediately jumped up, and
leaping through the open window,
scrambled up the turf -roof of the house,
where he could see the potato field. He
then, not seeing the cow, ran and looked
into the stall where she was standing,
and finding that all was right came back
to the house. The shepherd said the same
thing again, when the dog once more
made its patrol. But on the doubt being
uttered a third time, it got up, looked at
its master, and when he laughed, growl-
ed and curled up again by the fire.
SMALL STORE ADVERTISING.
Even a neighorhood store can adver.
tise in a newspaper with profit. A
small Apace in which a single article is
exploited at a time, and with some white
margin in order to make the letters
conspicuous, does not cost much. A. small
grocer in New York says he has found
such advertising profitable.

A JAP HERO.
I rushed by a fellow who was down; his
left leg was shot away. He was bleeding cop-
iously. Through the din of rifle fire and
machine guns which gave us a mantle of
smoke and dust, I shouted to him: "To the
rear, to the ,yield Hopsital, and be quick
about it." The fellow looked up at me, and
upon his face was a marked sign of surprise.
His tips quivered in a half -smile. The ex-
pression of his face was at once an ientrroga-
tion point and a mild rebuke. Then he be-
gan to wiggle himself .forward through the
bodies of his falen comrades. I repeated my
order, whichl, seeing that he could not walk
very wolf with one leg, was a rather foolish
one—I was somewhat exasperated at the evi-
dent indifference on bis part to the order of
his superior officer. He raised his face in
my direction with the same old half -smile
and said to me: Lieutenant, I have list one
of my lege, but don't you see I have two
hands? They ought to be enough to strike
at the Russian."—From the Account of a

War on the Ticket Scalpers.
Judge Grosscup, of the United States
Circuit, has just issued an order res-
training ninteen Chicago ticket scalpers
from dealing in any railroad tickets or
the unused portions thereof which are
not transferable. If this .order is made
permanent it will practically put the
ticket dealers out of business. The City
Council of Nashville, Tenn., has also re-
cently adopted an ordinance defining the
business known as that of ticket broker
or dealer. In that city 'Moses Henlin, who -
conducted a ticket brokerage office, was
indicted a short time ago by the 'Grand
Jury of Davidson County for uttering
forged or altered tickets or passes. He
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to fif-
teen days in the workhouse, and pay a
fine of $500.—Brooklyn Standard Union.
Value of the Sunday School.
It is obvious that the Sunday school, with
its definite moral purpose and its grip upon
practically the entire juvenile population, is
a mighty factor in the building of the na-
tional character, and so worthy of the ser-
ious attention of all thoughtful persons.
within its walls are fixed ideals which later
are wrought out in the events of commerce,
polities, science and the fine arts. Therefore
the. development of the Sunday school is a'
matter which concerns not merely the thou-
sands who are actively., engaged in its ser-
vice, but also the wide public of informed
men and. women who are interested in all
