A Georgia Diamond.

1t is not generally known that there is
in Georgia an immense ledge, the forma-
ton commonly called "elastic sand
stone" which is the matrix of the dia-
mond 1t is described by Dr. NJ F.
Stephenson in his book, now almost out
of print, on "The Mineralogy and
Geology of Georgia" 1t extends for
many miles. A few splendid diamonds
were found there years ago by gold
washers, who were ignorant of what they
found. Some of these were cut in Eng
land and set in jewelry, but most of them
were lost. They were of weight from two
to six carats, and three are remembered
which were of large size. One of these
was broken up by the miners to learn the
cause of its luster Another was used for
years by the boys in playing marbles. By
far the largest one was lost by DR.. Boyd,
who was employed to oversee the miners,
and was one day working in the pit in
place of sick hand. He says that about
two hours before shutdown, while
employed in raising gravel, he picked up
stone, (Which was bright and shiny
only on one side, the other side being
covered with crust of brown stuff. 1t
was about the size of guinea egg" He
laid it out on a bank under gum-tree,
intending at night to show it to his wife
and children as the largest of the "pretty
stones" which had been found. But he
forgot all about it. Ten years later he
learned from experts, who took his descrip-
ton of the stone, that his "guinea egg
was diamond.

Made Rich in q Year.

Lieutenant Governor TaEorof Colorado
is one of the newly-arisen miliionaires.
If reward were offered for man worth
$4,000, 900, nobody would pick him out
on Broadway. He was poor Vermont
boy who drifted West, and when the
diggings were found about twenty years
ago around Orc City, he moved there
and kept little store. He had no early
advantages, and seemed doomed to re-
main for life on the SUBMITS of the
Rocky Mountains with about 81 900 of
stock under his roof Two cobblers came
along year ago, a little poorer than
himself, and wanted food.
He gave them what is called "grub
stake" that is, barrel of -four and a
bag of bacon, saying: "You might as
well work if l am to feed you'll Go dig
somewhere for orep These two men
found the Little Pittsburg Mine within
few weeks, by which one of them re-
ceived $4,000, another 1925, 900, and
Tabor has already had more than 81 ,00O,-
900 out of the property, besides being in
the consolidation. He is a modest, I'M
affected man, who has not changed, his
habits in the least. The discovery, how
ever, made him Lieutenant Governor of
the State.

used for buildings, all of which were
formed from lime once in solution in the
waters OF the ocean, and which was long
since precipitated, that is deposited,
where we find them to-day-revealing to
US the interesting fact that the ocean and
lakes once entirely covered those por-
tions of the globe where these marble
and limestone quarries are now found.
quantity of solid matter that has been
seas, and lakes, and oceans is far greater
than is generally supposed.
But now we come to a marvel that is
greater than this. The architect that
The allwise Creator has employed to
build these coral reefs and islands, and
foundations for cities and great chains of
mountains, is not the grampus or the
whale, or other huge monster of the deep,
but one of the smallest and apparently
most insignificant of its inhabitants. 1t
is called
THE PoLYPs, OR CORAL INSECT.
This minute creature, at one extremity
the head-is about the size of very
small pins head, and its thread-like body
length, most of it seeming like nothing
but pure white jelly. At The head there
are about score of ella, or fine threads,
branching out and curving gracefully,
and giving a trumpet-shaped form TO the
whole. This is the wondrous builder of
those coral reefs, and islands, and foun-
datons of cities and great ranges of
mountains.
BY its peculiar power, it secretes or
abstracts from the water carbonate of
lime, and builds it into the numerous
and various forms of coral so well known.
1t works only under water, so that when
we find coral projecting above the sur
face-as we often dove know that it
is thus elevated by volcanic or subter-
ranean force.
But how marvellous that creature so
minute, and of such delicate organ
ism, should have the power of rearing
structures so stupendous that, in COM
parison, the Pyramids are mere mole
hills! What a striking illustration Of
the truth that "out of weakness He
creates strength The small and the
when He links His own omnipotence to
them.
And is there not lesson taught us
here9 Can we not see this encourage
ment to persevering, and that, however
little may be daily accomplished, yet, if
there be daily. progress, and daily-in-
creasing and beneficial results, the aggre-
gate Will at last be grand beyond the
power of present conception?
The converse of this is also true. If
there be daily progress in the wrong
direction-if there be only slight, but
continuous departures from truth and
virtue, and thus daily strengthening of
vicious habts-a daily deadening of
moral sensibility, and obscuring of
moral perception then, the final results
in hideous moral deformity will far
transcend all our present ideas of what
is hateful, abominable and vile.
One, or the other, must, of necessity,
be the personal experience of us all.
Which shall it be? 1t is for us TO
| decide.

Raising Horses. 1T is often said thai

Raising Horses. 1T is often said that
it does not pay for farmers to raise this
or that breed of horses, but this is true
only in a limited sense. The best
specimens of any strain or style of horses
sell rapidly, at good prices, and the poor
ones of all breeds are drugs upon the
market. 1t is no doubt true that much
greater measure of success may be ex-
pected with some breeds than others, the
choice depending largely upon the cir
cumstances of the farmer, his location,
etc, and that, as a general rule, ordinary
farmers can not compete with wealthy
professional breeders in producing horses
for racing purposes, eitherrunners or trot-
tiers; but even in these classes much will
depend upon the location and the sort of
brood mares the farmer may have upon
his farm. If he is situated in a region
famous for producing turf horses, one
that is frequented by buyers of such
horses, where he can have access to first
class stations, and his brood mares are
of strains of blood noted for producing
winners, he will certainly find it most
profitable to breed for horses of this
class. Where these conditions do not
exist, he will usually find the surest profit
in breeding heavy draft or stylish car
riage horses.

eLEASyHcs FROM THE MUSE.
THE OLD HOME
BY DAVID EADIA

The wild birds sings and the rivulet runs
So cheerily round the spot
Where the peaceful shades Of the towering hills
Fall dim on my mothers cot.
The windows are low and the thatch In low,
And its old stone walls are gray
OH see 1t, love 1t, where'er go,
That old home far away.
The little clock ticks on the kitchen wall
To tell the passing hours,
And the woodbine is climbing round the cot,
With Its sweetly scented flowers.
And the old arm chair, so cozy and low,
Where mother did knit each day
Oh! see it, love it. where'er l 60,
That old home far away.
Ny mother; see her before me now.
Asleep in that old armchair,
With the sunshine tinging her wrinkled brow
That was once so smooth and fair
Her crimpled border, as white as the snow,
And her dark brown hair turned gray
Oh see 1t, i love it, where'er go,
That old home far away.
And there's the white COW on its homeward path
Az it comes so quiet along;
And the little maid with pail In her hand
Is singing that dear old song
And the frolicsome lambs in that barnyard
Are gathering round to play
Oh see IL, love 1t, where'er l go,
That old home far away.
Not all the pleasures the world can give,
Nor riches Of land or sea,
Or the wealth or rank of earth's proud lords
Can e'er estrange from me
The roof that cover'd my dear mothers head,
With the humble floor of clay
Oh l see it, love II, where'er 60,
That old home far away.
But alas! she has gone where all must 20,
For we all shall pass away
YEA even the cot that love so well
viii crumble and decay
For this earth Is only resting place,
Its joys are ours for day
All my pleasure OF life has center'd In
That old home far away.

Safety From Lightning.

1t is never too soon, says writer, to

When the clouds are fully charged with
electricity they are most dangerous, and
this fluid obeys subtle attraction which
acts at great distances and in all direc-
tons. A woman told me of bolt which
came down her mothers chimney when
the sun was shining overhead. n. T.
Willis writes of young girl killed while
passing under telegraph wire on the
brow of hill while she was hurrying
home before a storm. People should not
be fool-bardy about sitting on the porches
and by open windows whether the storm
is hard or not. Mild showers often carry
single charge which falls with deadly
effect. 1t may or may not be fatal to
stay out; it is safe to be in the house
with the windows and doors shut. The
dry air in a house is a reader conductor
of lightning than the damp air outside,
and draught of air invites it. A hot
fiue in a chimney attracts it, so to speak

they would shut the doors and windows,
and keep away from them afterward, and
from bell wires, stove pipes, mantels,

fear of lightning from their minds, so far
as it is thing of reason and not of i'm

T0PicS FOR THE FARM.
Curing Fodder Corn.--The main OF

Curing Fodder COrn.--The main OBJ
ject in raising fodder corn is TO supply a
green feed which shall bridge over the dry
time between grass and hay, and furnish
in August and September a substitute
for the sweet grasses of June and July;
but as no farmer sows fodder corn on good
land without finding the yield more than
he expected, and as he generally feeds
less Of it green than he ought to, and as
frost ruins it, it becomes important that
he should know the best way to cure and
preserve what he has left after his cows,
hogs and horses have disposed of all they
can, green, for the best and easiest way is
hard enough. Indeed, the difficulty
which all who attempt it experience in
curing fodder corn is the chief objection
TO raising it largely for winter use. 1t is
so green and juicy when cut, and the
fall days furnish so little heat and sun
shine that it is next to impossible to dry
it spreading. The first method which
occurs to a farmer naturally is TO bundle
and shock it; but where it grows rank
and TENDER as is usually the case, it is
impossible TO stand it up in shocks 50 it
will resist the force OF the wind and bear
its own weight The shocks either blow
over or "cropple" down, letting in the
dew or rain. A better plan, we think,
however, is to procure some stout poles
and lay them upon some crotched stakes
set in the ground, 50 the poles will be
about four feet from the ground. When
you cut up your corn bind it in small
bundles and suspend them on the poles,
so they will balance. Lay the bundles
close together, but only one deep; thus
suspended they will wilt in day or two,
decrease very much in size, and hang
upon the poles like bundles of ropes;
then they can be pushed together so as
to occupy much less space, the empty
space filled, and second tier or layer of
green corn be hung upon that which has
wilted. In this way, little by little, you
can build up a sort of stack which will
shed rain, and still allow the wind to cir
culate through it. When the corn is
dried sufficiently it can be transferred to
the barn. OF course, if one has an
abundance of barn room, corn can be
hayed with less work by spreading it in
the barn as soon as it is wilted but for
the majority of farmers we believe this
pole treatment to be the best, far pref
cradle to shocking or spreading on the
ground. If any of our readers know of
a better way we should be pleased to
hear from them.-NeD Bedford Standard.
