Soaring a Wicked Boy.

One of the irrepressible small boys Of
the tough species started in to have
some fun in crowded car on the Sixth
avenue elevated road the other night.
He sat in the middle of the car and first
attracted attention by mewing like a
cat. Then he yelped like a dog and
grunted like a pig. At first his noises
caused smile, but their persistent rep
etition caused annoyance, which in
creased with each succeeding noise.
The ,newing, the yelping and the grunt-
ing became SO aggravating that each
man in the car felt that he would like
to throw the boy out Of the window.
Manly dignity, however, forbade their
getting into an alteration with a small
boy. But there was one person in the
car who was not restrained by manly
dignity. That person was of the fe1ni-
nine gender, a trifle advanced in years,
but with a muscular figure and stern
expression on her face.
She tried for several minutes to silence
the boy with frowns and gestures, but
those were Of no avail When her pa
tience reached it's limit she stretched out
one arm, and Selling the boy by the col
lar exclaimed in a wrathful voice: ''See
here, my lad, you stop your yelping and
your granting right away or I'll give
you something to yelp and grunt for.
Do you hear me?' The boy was as quiet
as kitten for the rest of the journey

Inhabitants of tho Caucasus.


The Georgians of the Caucasus are
nice looking men-one or two decidedly
handsome, in an unkempt sort of way.
Features of an oriental cast, but fair
skins, gray eyes and remarkably broad,
thick eyebrows are their most promi-
nent characteristics. Looking at them,
one can believe that the Georgian wom-
en- deserve their fame better than good
many reputed beauties. Their dress
consists of three principal garments-a
long outer coat of sergt, called tcho-
cha mot HAITIAN, which is short coat);
lighter one OF linen underneath, called
archaluch, and confined by a leather
belt or ka1nari, and pair of tight
trousers thrust into high boots of the
regular oriental pattern. Some Of them
have invested in patent leather shoes,
which shows that they have all eye for
western glitter. The length of the
tchocha ~and the high boots make them
look taller than they are. They seem
big men, but the tallest hardly reaches
feet 8 inches, and most OF them are
considerably shorter-as indeed BELTS a
race Of horse1nen.
They carry three weapons-sword,
dagger and pistols--all Of antique make,
and for the most part deliberately inlaid
with silver. The sword, or chmali, is
very much curved, almost the shape OF
a Persian scimeter, with a beautifully
worked haft. The dagger, or hanjali, is
weapon in the use Of which they are
peculiarly expert.-London Saturday

Keening Warm.

An active but not very robust city
boy was sent by his parents away up
into the north woods few days ago
for the avowed purpose of building up
his health. He was cautioned by his
father and by the family doctor to keep
warm at night, the avoidance of chills
being especially desirable in his case.
The other day letter came from the
boy. He told his parents that he was
feeling we'll, eating like horse, and
having bully time" He also said:
''And keep as warm as toast nights.
The other night went to bed with all
my clothes on, wore two shirts, three
pairs of trousers, two coats, my shoes
and overshoes and cap. New York

A Troublesome Name in Chicago.

The many variations as to the pronun-
citation Of the name Goethe street cause
some queer misunderstanding and lu-
dicrous situations. A policeman who
was standing on the corner of Wells
street and Chicago avenue was asked if
he knew where a man lived
'Shure, an he's afther livin OH Goatee
sthreet," he replied.
"Where?'
"Goatee sthreet."
"How do you spell it?" ......
''Pfwhy, | s'pose like g-o-a~t-y. same
as goat. ..-
But the man was still in the dark. SO
he stepped into corner drug store and
asked the question he had put to the po-
Ece1man.
"Mr. j lives on Geety street."
"Where is that placer
"Just eleven blocks north of here
a Wells street car soon covered the
eleven blocks and Goethe street was
reached. After the interview had been
attended to number of inquiries were
made of various persons in regard to the
name of the street, eliciting at least a
dozen different recommendations. -{!hi-

Digging for Diam onds In India.

~
In India diamonds are found in allu-
vial workings and in the original gangue
or bedrock. So far diamonds have been
found in stu, both in the upper and
lower Vindhyan rocks. These consist
Of series Of shales, imestones and
sandstones, cut up and much mixed with
intrusions of trap. A species Of con-
glomerate made up Of what looks like
fe1ted hornblende, with embedded peb-
bles Of jasper, serpentine, quartz and
sandstones is the matrix in which the
diamond is found.
When exposed to the action Of the
weather, as in shallow workings, this
conglomerate is Of a rusty brown color
and very friable, so that it can be readi-
ly broken and the gangue washed away,
leaving the pebbles, which are of a
white, red. blue and green color. A
load of gangue yields about quart of
pebbles, and if from this a carat weight
OF diamonds is recovered the mine is
considered worth working.
Overlying the diamond conglomerate
are beds Of hard sandstones and shales,
diamond gangue is met. In the deep
mines the gangue ia extremely hard
and tough and Of a green blue color. It
requires months OF exposure to the at
mosphere and frequent sprinklings with
water before the 1nStrix becomes sufti-
GENTLY friable to obtain the pebbles
without breaking them.
All attempts TO crush the matrix With
out destroying the included diamonds
have hitherto failed, and owing to the
long delay before the results are known,
the natives seldom work the conglomer-
ate in the rock workings unless it is
somewhat deco1nposed and softened by
the weather. The pebbles are about the
size of hazelnuts and are generally
Opaque. The presence of green pebbles
is considered good sign by the native
miners.-Mining and Engineering.

A Curious People.

A curious people have been described
by DR.. Paul Ehrenreich as inhabiting
the rivers Araguaya and Purus, in
Brazil. These are the Karaya, the men
and women of whom speak different
dialects. Their love Of animals, not a
common trait in the savage character,
is peculiar. Their villages, he tells us,
resemble menageries Dogs, fowls, cats,
peccaries beasts of most unamiable
.character-parrots, even turtles, ALI
gators and tapirs meet the astonished
traveller. The natives do not look upon
them as slower animals" In their opin-
ion these playmates are quite on .the
same plane of existence as themselves,
and arc to be treated accordingly

IL WAS Fatal.

I'm afraid Of restaurants and soda
fountains" she had said in the first of
their acquaintance, and it led him to
offer himself at once, for he felt that he
could afford to wed such girl.
But he was disappointed. She steered
him right into the light refreshment
parlor, and the corner drug store alb
sorbed all his nickels and the small
payment-down cottage home vanished
into thin air.
One day, goaded to desperation by the
absorption Of his last nickel. he said to
her:
Il thought you told me you were
afraid of summer restaurants aud soda
palaces?"
81 am" she said sweetly; don't ice
cream whenever come near one?"
He will not recover.-Detroit Free

Cause of a National Trait.

It is matter of common observation
that Hebrews as rule are more than
ordinarily devoted to their families, and
their home life is beautiful in many
ways. AS everything has cause, the
most plausible one in this regard appears
to me to be the severe prosecutions to
which that race has been subjected for
centuries, compelling clannishness and
afforaing them their greatest happiness
at home. Persistent influences acting
through numberless generations would
surely institute racial popularity such
as this.-S V. Clevenger in Science.

SETTLED

A Word or Two of Good Advice.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
There has been good deal of discus
sion and comment over the governorship
and deadlock in the legislature of this
state, much of it mere twaddIe for polite
al buncome. 49,.
The decision of the supreme court upon
the quo warranto case proceedings settles
the question that Morgan g. Buckley is
governor of Connecticut and will be till
his successor is elected and qualified in q
constitutional legal way.
These proceedings, under advice of as
tute, able lawyers, presumably presented
the case in the strongest light probable
for custer of Governor Buckley and the
decision is against the applicant.
Both branches of the legislature having
election, to wit, the second day of the
session, its Legislative functions have
elapsed for such purposes, and the legisla-
ture cannot now revive the power or right
to constitutionally proceed to such cleo
ton, and the governor must hold over till
his successor is chosen and qualified after
election by the people next November.
Governor Bulkeley still ''holds the fort, u
and it is fortunate that we have governor
with the courage Of his convictions, coup
led with the ability to carry them out.
Let him now be recognized as the legal
governor of Connecticut by both political
parties, and both houses of the legislature
proceed to Legislative business, or else both
adjourn sine die, and appeal to the people
for Endorsement in new election next
November. L. E. MUNsoN.
