THANKSGIVING.

Ia accordance with q custom that
has become national, tomorrow will
be observed throughout the United
States as y day of Thanksgiving to
the Maker of the Universe for the
many blessings which we have en-.
joyed during the past year. This day
will be observed by al American citi.
gems, irrespective Of political or relig.
ious creed.
It is meet and proper that we
should pause. occasionally, to render
homsgs to the Supreme Being for tho
good things Of this earth. 1t is so,
not that He, in His greatness, may
care for it, but in order that we be
reminded that there MAY be another
sphere, another world beyond this,
Aad tlss by that reminder, we may be
led to 50 shspe our deeds and actions
that we may be prepared to give an
&ooolnt of them when, il ever, we
Ahsll he called to our reckoning. 1t
is also Pfopar because it affords .
hating point. q stop during which
we can review the occurrences of the
past twelve months, especially an so
far as they affect US and those near
and dear to us.
We of Idaho have a great deal to
be thankful for. Our streams teen
with fish, our forests are alive With
game a'r prairies yield abundant.y
to the farmers touch, and our noun
tains abound in precious metals. Our
climate is healthful, our INDUSTRIES
Are prosp. rous, and our public off :
.aials are not as bad as they nigh. be.
If all this does not justify US in
"thanking ,oqr STARS" or in feeling
grateful TO the Supreme Being (what-
ever his nature may bel, surely then
no people eyer bad Gauge to feel
thankful.

How Travellers Write Their Names

A veteran hotel clerk who has yelled
''front" in every prominent tavern in this
country, told me story about the man
nerisms of travellers in registering. The
man from Boston writes the name of his
town first. SIN case of sudden death,
before he puts down his,,name, he wants
you to know where he halls FROM" The
New York man is always in hurry. If
he can abbreviate his surname he will do
it, and after that he writes IN. Y" A
Philadelphia man is just the other way.
If he has three given names he will spell
them all out in the register, and after the
name is completed he writes: ''Philadel-
phia, PENNSYLVANIA" He is never in a
hurry, and generally misses his train. A
st. Louis man comes in, holds on to his
gripsack, dips the pen to the bottom of
the inkstard, lays down on the book,
grabs the pen staff as if he thought
somebody was going to take it away
from him, sticks out his tongue, and,
having written his name in serpent's
trail fashion, writes after it "Mo.." with
out the name of the town. "Then he
asks what time o. day we have the first
meal" "A Chicago man comes in and
tells his name to the clerk, who writes it.
The clerk doesn't ask him where he is
from. He knows. You can tell Chi
cago man as far as you can see him

Bullets Among the Trees.

General j. A. Williamson, of Washing

desk at the Fifth Avenue Hotel when a
man several inches taller than he, strai ght
as an Indian, and of comparatively slender
build, stepped up behind him Two
long arms were thrown around the Gen
eral while the new conner, who was cx-
Governor Warmoth of Louisiana, sang
out in the Generals ear: Column right

eral turned about and recognized his OLD
army comrade, the Governor said: 81
say, General, you couldn't get as much
protection from that Lookout Mountain
sapling now as you did the day of the
fight" The General laughed as he re-
piled: IL took to woodpile, as it was,
before we got out of that. Bat l have
not grown so much stoutcr. 1t is you
who have grown stout" The Governor
rejoined: "Well, I might easily set

hind little sapling that was shot all to

Diamond Mines Of Brazil.

The diamonds of Brazil are all found
in disintegrated stratum of quartzite,
lying upon the sandstone formation.
The discovery of these important mines
was an accident. A Portuguese traveller,
in 1927, while visiting the gold mines of
the Sierra do Frio, about 400 miles north
of Rio Janeiro, noticed some bright crys-
tails which the ignorant miners occasion
ally picked up and treasured as trifes,
taking some of these he showed them to
some Dutch traders, who at once recog-
nized their value. These traders i'm
mediately contracted with the Brazilian
Government for all the rough diamonds
that might be found, and for number
of years controlled the trade The
Portuguese then shared it with them for
some time, and the diamond mines
were so extensively worked for
number of years, and such
abundant supplies of the gems were
thrown on the market. that their price fell
, heavily, and diamond dealers all over the
world were terrified The panic was
checked by the Brazilian government,
which Gained the working of the mines
as royal monopoly and restricted the
supply of gems mined. In recent years,
however, the most of the mines have been
sold to private individuals. The mode
of obtaining the diamonds is by washing.
I The miners dig down into the diamond
stratum; the quartzite sand, or the
gravel, as they take it out, is washed free
from earth in shallow wooden pans The
gravelly deposit left is then passed
through sieve, and the diamond crys-
tails, if any are there, are readily found in
the process. Generally speaking, the
diamond mined in Brazi, have been small
but few remarkable gems have been
found in them. One of the most impor-
tant of these is the Star of the South,
which was found by a negress in the
mines of Begagem in 1858, and which
weighed in its rough state 254 karats. 1t
was purchased, after being cut by a jew
eler in Amsterdam, Germany, by a
wealthy nobleman of that country. An
other fine gem was found in the river
! Abathe, in 1897, by some convicts who
had escaped from prison and were hiding
in the mountains. 1t weighed 1873
karats, and was sent to the King of Por-
! tugal, who, in return for the treasure,
pardoned the convicts. A few diamonds
over 100 karats in weight have been found
in Brazilian mines, and quite a number
over fifty karats, but the average eight
has been from one to four karats. The
aggregate diamond yield in Brazil has
fluctuated greatly, in past times ranging
from 20, 900 or so, 900 karats annually to
as high as GOO, 900 karats. Though the
trade in diamonds is generally supposed
10 be an important part of the country's
commerce, it is really only Il small frac-
ton of one per cent. of the total trade.
1t averages something over So, 500, 00C
annually, while the yearly expectation OF
sugar alone is about SIT, 900, 900, and Of
coffee over $53, 900, 00o.-Inter- Ocean.

For a long time we steadily refused to pub,
lish testimonials, believing that, in the opinion
of the public generally, the great majority
were manufactured to order by unprincipled
parties as means of dsposing of their worth.
less preparations.
That this view Of the case is to a certain ex-
tent true, there can be no doubt.
AT last, several years ago. we came to the
conclusion that every intelligent person can
readily discriminate between spurious and
bona fide testimonials, and determined to use
as advertisements few of the many hun
dreds of unsolicited certificates in our possess
sion.
In doing this, we published them as nearly as
possible in the exact language used by our cor
respondents, only changing the phraseology, in
some, cases, SO as to compress them into a
smaller space than they would otherwise
occupy, but without in the least exaggerating
or destroying the meaning of the writers.
we are glad to say that our final conclusion
was a correct one-that a letter recommend
ing an article having true merit finds favor
with the people.
The original of every testimonial published
by US is on file in our office, an inspection of
which will prove to the most skeptical that our
given as they appear therein, is true
But as 1t would be very inconvenient, If not
impossible, for all of our friends to call on us
for that purpose, we invite those who doubt df
there be such), to correspond with any of the
parties whose names are signed to our testi-
monials. and ask them if we have made any
misstatements, SO far as their knowledge ex-
tends, in this article. In other words, if we
have not published their letters as nearly YER
