The number of cattle in Indian Ter
ritory is now found to be only 500, 900
head. This is great falling off from
former years, and shows, argurs the
Boston CultiUator, that hereafter the con.
sumers of beef must depend on stock fed
with cultivated forage and grain, instead
of relying on the product of pastures
costing nothing. 1t will be much better
for all branches of farming in all parts OF
the country when the decentralization Of
ranching has finally had its day.

The Chicago Herald says that "Florids
and California are each making a strong
bid for winter visitors by sending out
cars filed with tropical and semi-tropical
fruits attractively displayed. There is o
car of this kind known as Florida on
Wheels, which made the tour of the
Eastern resorts and did good missionary
work during the summer months. A
train of cars known as California on
Wheels and containing superb exhibit
of fruits, is now en- route for the East foi
the purpose of booming Southern Cali

doubtedly influence many people to eros,

The Largest Perfect Diamond.

About twenty companies are engaged
in diamond mining in South Africa, one
of which has capital of $50, 900, 900,
They are nearly all under the control of
the De Beers Syndicate In London,
which is limiting the production and in
creasing the price. During the month
of February, 1890, there were shipped
from Kimberly 130,077 carats of rough
and uncut diamonds, valued at e1, 1885,
700. In the mines they are found scat.
tered through the blue earth In sizes
ranging from 15O carats to the size OF a
pinhead. The largest perfect diamond
ever brought from the Cape Is the "Im-
perial, owned by a syndicate and said
70 DO worth 81, 900, 900. Next to IT
comes tho 'stewart," of 1854 carats,
which was found in the Vaal River in
1879. II was an inch and q quarter In

The experiments in the cultivation OF
plants under the electrical light, recently
made by the botanical department of the
Cornell University, at Ithaca, N. Y,
have given some curious and interesting
results, and results which are In some re-
spects confrmatory of somewhat similar
experiments not long ago reported from
Russia. The first and most noticeable
effect Of the treatment Is an enormously
increased rate Of growth. The plants
which are lighted seem to work day and
night and to "run very much to leaf. "
Vegetables shoot up very quickly, and
peas in a few weeks are two or three
times as tall as those planted at the same
time In daylight. In the case of seeds
aud fruit of any kind, however, the re-
suits arc entirely different, and the plants
which had grown slowly and by daylight
were ahead. It was observed that in
every instance the reproductive powers
of the plant were strongly affected, being
sacrificed to mere foliage and rapidity OF
increase In general size.

that immigration has added over 5 $780,.
600 foreigners TO our population during

settled in the South except in very rare
cases, and that the great industrial dc.
velopment of this section, with its at

money, only commenced a few years ago,
the South makes fine showing Of popu-

She went back into the house and wrote
two letters. One was addressed to Helen
Vsssar. It accused her, Leslie Radetsky,
of the theft of the Vasssr diamonds, She
wanted the money for her own personal
uses. No need ever to ask what those
uses might have been. That would never
be discovered. The French maid was
innocent. Steps might be taken at once
for her liberation. Suspicion had, of
course, been purposely thrown on this
woman. Who else knew where Miss
vassar kept her diamonds-who but the
new maid and Miss Vassar's friend, the
adopted sister of the man she was to

the loss of her diamonds so much as the
guilt of young girl who had impressed
her as innocent. Well, that young girl
was now absolved. 1t was true that the
adopted sister of her betrothed bore the
guilt instead. But she loved the brother,
aud for his sake, perhaps, she would drop
the veil over crime expiated as sins
could alone be expiated, it was said.
Such was the substance of the first
letter. The second was written to
Louis.
"You are safe, unless you speak your
self, which, though you are coward, l
do not think likely. Helen will not seek
to know one detail of my deed. She is
noble and Quixotic. She need never
discover that the necklace passed on to

Both letters were found by her side.
The room was filed with the odor Of
bitter almonds and she held the little

Louis Rsdetsky and the heiress were
married abroad year later. The young
