One of the finest diamonds in the world
was found not long since in the Brazilian
sands. 1t came in novel form. A small
quartz rock was found, about the size
and shape of an egg, lying in the sands
along the bank of the Amazon in Brazil.
This was carried home by Brazilian
peasant, who was attracted by its odd
shape and light weight. For some time
it lay in his home with a number OF
other geological specimens, mere Gu
riosity. Happening one day in handling
1t to drop it on a stone block, it burst
open and lay in halves on the block,
The hollow interior that gave the light
weight to the stone was filled with blood
red sand. In this sand lay the diamond
q sparkling stone of the rarest quality.
The stone was later sold to diamond
merchant and left the finder exceedingly
wealthy.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

1t has also developed the fact that the
French language is better adapted to the
purposes of the telephone than the Eng

which the. ear cannot, possibly catch.

Pet Economics.

Eject of Music on Amin ls,

At the zoo the zebra, wild ass, deer
and ostrich went into paroxysms of rage
at the sound of the piccolo, although
they had manifested various signs OF
pleasure over the violin and flute. The
tiger was asleep, and refused to be awak-
ened by the fiddler and futist. But
when the man with the piccolo began e
play the animal sprang furiously to its
feet and rushed angrily up and down the
cage, lashing its tail. So extreme was
the beasts anguish that the piccolo man
speedily gave place to the flutist. The
difference in effect was at once apparent.
The tiger stopped, listened, Icy down
and purred like kitten in its enjoyment
of the grateful sounds. and presently fell
asleep in luxurious repose. London

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear There Is only one
way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an In
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
