There is a growing belief that consump- tion is, in some cases, an infectious disease. The Wisconsin State Medical society adop- ted minute at it's recent session to the ef- feet that the members intend to use all the means in their power to have patients in con sumption kept as much as possible from the rest of the family. Furthermore, these physicians will endeavor to have consump- tive patients by themselves in the public in- stitutions.

Some of our eonsuls are doing good work in exposing the adulteration of articles sent to this country. Consul Walsh at Florence reports that the adulteration of olive oil sent out from Italy has become a regular busi- ness. The adulterant chiefly used in oil pre- pared to be sent to this country is cotton seed oil, which has been taken from here to Italy. The adulteration is so well known in Italy that the government, being anxious to prevent it as far as possible, in the interests of it's own commercial standing, has increased the duty on cotton-seed oil from six lire per quintal to twenty lire. There is, however. still so much aduIteration that the Italian authorities recommend tests which will dis close the presence of the cottonseed oil.

AN INCIDENT CONNECTED WITH POWERS
GREEK SLAVE.

1t is a pity that wealth and educa-
ton cannot be simultaneously ac-
quired. A miner, who, by a lucky
find, became suddenly the possessor
of fortune, took it into his head to
go to Europe, and after many adven-
lures found himself in Florence.
During his travels he caught the
malady Tor collecting works OF art,
and visited the studios OF renowned
artists in search Of marvels to be sent
home. Among others he visited the
studio Of Powers, the sculptor, and,
glancing over various statues, his eye
alighted upon the Greek Slave.
"What may you call that air boyr'
he asked.
"The Greek Slave" replied the
sculptor.
"And what may be the price of itF'
was the next question.
"Three thousand dollars" said
Powers. gazing at the odd specimen
of humanity before him.
"Three thousand dollarsr' he ex-
claimed; "you don't say 30, now
Why, thought to buy something oi
you, but that's q notch above me
Why, statiary is riz amt it"
Bowers, in telling the story, used
to give an amusing imitation of the
miners drawl.

woman's heart"
"Adrian dear, that evening 80 long

Then l am blest among men," he

Then came the explanation OF
Adrian's long silence. After the bat
tie of - he had written a letter
after letter to Mabel. To none OF
them came reply. In those desper-
ate days around Richmond there waa
no chance for sending or receiving
letters. Most of his fortune had
been swept away, and no trace OF
Mabel could he find. With Mabel
lost to him, he devoted himself tc
business, and had been unusually
successful, so that at the present
time he was O rich man.
Then Mabel told of his supposed
death, of her not receiving one of his
letters, and the heavens seemed tC
take in softer glow as if in unison
with the now happy lovers.
Adrian insisted upon a speedy
marriage and soon the solemn words
were spoken that made them mar

HoNoRs AT wHoLEsALE.

It is said that while the Rev. James
Keeno, generally referred to by the

of the Pacific coast, rough-looking
specimen of the California farmer
burst in upon him one day with:
"Say, Kurnel, my wife has got a

"Y e-s," slowly answered the Rev.
gentleman, as he passed over $40

In about an hour another man
from the same neighbOrhood entered
with the salutation:

We have built a church up our way
and named it the Jim Keene Chapel

0UR BOY.

Every we'll. regulated newspaper
Office has ''our boy" He is always
on hand when not wanted. He is
the boy who goes to the Postoffice a
million times day. At least 80 he
says. Our boy doesn't vary from the
boy in any other newspaper Office by
hairs breadth. He calls the editors
and reporters by their last names
when they are absent. When asked
to go anywhere he starts off and
goes down stairs three steps at a
time. He can't even wait for the
elevator. He will tumble into or over
anybody on the stairs, and he rushes
through the counting room with euch
speed that everybody puts his hat
and coat on and wonder where the
fire is. When he reaches the door
his haste instantly expires. In fifteen
minutes he will return and ask:
Whats that mans name you sent
me afteri"
He knows every apple vender and
peanut woman on the block, and
when sent on an errand 'in hurry"
he can be found an hour afterward
interviewing them as to the origin OF
peanuts or the success of the present
years apple crop.
It was but yesterday that he en-
tered the City editors room with a

slammed it down on the desk and

He has a habit of handing the

are grasping themselves by the feet
and heir to get their teeth apart, he
will tell them he "thought they knew

DIAMOND FIELDS
Curious Domestic Minerals--A Diamond
Embedded I'm Emerald, and a Flexible
Stone.

A curious mineral recently found
in North Carolina has been described
in the newspapers as diamond
embedded in emerald. 1t is now in
possession of MIR. j. D. Yerrington OF
New York, who said with regard to
it: 1T is crystal of emerald, an inch
by an inch and a half face. What
has been called a diamond is merely
a piece of quartz crystal, which is
embedded firmly in the emerald.
The crystal is about two thirds the
size of the emerald, and appears to
have been driven into it. Neither
stone is very pure, and they are only
valuable as neurological specimens.
This sort of crystal is commonly
called diamond in North Carolina,
but as yet no real diamonds have
been found there, although various
kinds of precious stones have from
time to time been discovered. Many
of these, chiefly emeralds of rare
color called Hiddenite, in honor of
MIR. Hidden. the discoverer. are found
in small mine at stony Point, which
was opened about two years ago, and
has been worked, more or less, since
that time. The emeralds are found
in pencils of various sizes. Some are
of a dark green color, but most OF
them are pale green. Some of the
pencils are very large, the largest
being eight and three quarter inches
long.
"In the same vicinity have been
found garnets, rutiles, aqua marine,
topaz, and other precious stones.
''There is some reason to suppose
that the Dewey diamond, the largest
diamond eve, found in the United
States, which was cut by the Morse
Diamond Cutting Company in 1882,
came from North Carolina, although
it was found by an Irish laborer in
Manchester, Va. When found it was
embedded in a curious stone known
as ita columite, large quantities Of
which, in lodges, are found in North
Carolina. 1t appears that load Of
this stone had been taken to Man.
chester for assaying, and it is con-
iectured that this piece in which the
diamond was embedded had dropped
from the cart on the way. It weighed
twenty three and three quarters
carats, and when cut IL 11-16 carats.
The cutting cost $1,000, and the
stone itself may be roughly estimated
as worth $4,000
"a curious popularity of this ita
columite is that it is flexible stone.
have chunk of it that will bend
both ways. The stone is a coarse
sandstone, and may be used for
building purposes.
"Mr. Derby, a native of New York,
and graduate of Cornell University,
who is employed by Dom Pedro as
geologist OF Brazil, visited the mineral
district Of North Carolina, and said
that il he had been taken to the place
blindfolded, and then, on the bandage
being removed, had been asked where
he was, he should have said unhesitat-
ingly that be was in the diamond
district of Brazil. He did not, how
ever, find anyi diamonds in North
Carolina.
The following lines on Hiddenite,
which is sometimes called the Amer
lean emerald, were written by the
Rev. w. II. Rogers, rector Of Heaton
Chapel, Manchester, England:
Hidden for years from all human sight.
At last by hidden means conveyed to light,
bidden;
I'll, the discoverer himself that's Hidden" "
