story of a Beautiful Diamond.

A rare diamond. weighing nearly four
carats. now in New York. has emarkable
history II was found in the gold district OF
Brazil by native. who did not know It's
value. but kept it as luck" stone. One day
while journeying to camp Of traders with
his gold dust ne was bitten by serpent. APP
plying the antidote known to the people OF
that country he proceeded on his way, but
had not gone far when he was bitten again.
He treated himself for tho second wound
and continued on his journey. While stoop-
ing to drink from u brook the fangs of snake
we're fastened in the bag which contained the
stone On reaching the camp he was found
10 be succumbing rapidly to the effects OF the
venom. and when questioned 10y the camp
surgeon. told how the snake had seized the
bag AZ his throat.
The surgeon was permitted to see the stone,
and. suspecting it's real character, he told the
native that it was very dangerous to have II
about him, as it attracted venemous reptiles,
and advised bin 10 sink it IN n nelghborlng
brook. The supersttious finder OF the d'a-
mond acted on the suggestion and the cove
tous surgeon, having watched the proceeding,
awaited himsel. of the first opportunity to fish
the gem from its hiding place. The diamond
was purchased recently from the cutter IN
Europe by Edwin A. Thrall, Of New York
