THE PITT DIAMOND.
History of One of the Famous Brilliant,
of Europe.

or Europe.
Thomas Pitt was born in 1858. and in
1898 we find him appointed to the post
OF governor of Madras for the East
India Company, an imperious and able
man, hot tempered but kindly, bent on
amassing riches which he neither could
nor cared to enjoy, but which he OBJ
viously regarded as a fortune to be
left 70 his children, though he was
thoroughly determined that they should
not squander it in his lifetime. He is
interesting, not only for his own
marked individuality, and for being in
some senses typical Anglo-Indian
ruler OF the period, but as the grand
father of Lord Chatham, and the great
grandfather of William Pitt. The only
hiatus in this succession of able men
was IN the case of Robert Pitt, Gov.
Pitts SON, who appears to have wanted
the nutieeable qualities of his father
and the great gifts of his son. The de-
tails in regard to the custody and sale
OF . diamond of extraordinary size and
beauty which was purchased by Gov.
Pitt IN tie east and sent home in
charge OF his son are most interesting.
IL has been sometimes said that Gov.
Pitt obtained his fortune by means of
this stone, but it is clear from many of
his letters not only that he had ample
privatel means long before he sold this
jeyEsl also that he had numerous
other business transactions, the results
of which were highly profitable. This
remarkable jewel was sold in 17l7 to
the Regent Orleans for one hundred and
twenty-five thousand pounds. THE
stone" writes the governor on June %
of this year, twas sold for two million
livres. sixteen to one pound ster.
ling. | received the third of the money,
and the remainder is in four payments
every six months with five per cent.
interest, for security of which have
Crown jewels, four parcels, one to be
delivered with each payment" This
statement shows that the price, which
is usually stated to have been one hun.
dred and thirty-five thousand pounds,
has not been hitherto correctly given.
The brilliant has been known in later
times as the Regent, sometimes as the
Pitt, diamond; it is now among the
national treasures in Paris, and has
been valued, 1t is said, at four hundred
and eighty thousand pounds. 1t is
clear, from the account which Gov.
Pitt gives of the purchase, that the
stone was fairly obtained, being bought
in 17o2, after good hard bargaining
from one Ramchund, diamond mer
chant. The gossip of the day on this
subject, like most gossip, was not good
natured. 1t was summed up in Pope's
couplet:
Asleep and naked as an Indian lay
An honest factor stole q gem away"

NOTES BY THE WAY.

WE have in the United States thirty
six Thousand more saloons than public
schools.
THE physicians in charge of the chol-
era patients at Hamburg, Germany,
found the mortality specially heavy
among inebriates.
AT the international exhibition held
on the Isle of Man, last July, no liquor
was sold. This was due to the chief di-
rector, who resisted all temptations
from within and from without to let
liquor in.
THE well-known scientist, DIR. b. W.
Richardson, sums up the case against
drink in the words: "If by any miracle
England were made sober, the average
value of life of the people would be
increased one-third."
IT is significant that strong and
resolute French ministry, which had
withstood triumphantly a severe strain
growing out of the Panama troubles,
should finally be defea ted upon a prop
osition to increase the tax on liquors,
and feel obliged to resign. Great is
the power of liquor.-National Temper
ance Advocate.
THE boy who kindled fire in his
fathers barn, intending to put it out
before it had gone too far, was not less
foolish than the father himself, who
thought to indulge the drink habit and
yet escape the drunkard's doom, on the
plea that he could take it or let it alone
and that he knew just when to stop
United Presbyterian.
AMONG the recent cases at the Thrift
eth street police station, in New York
city, was that of four-year-old boy
who was found by an agent of Mr.
Gerry's society quite drunk. 1t also
transpired in the investigation that he
had acquired habit of going on
sprees," The police also found the
mother drunk and arrested her. Alas!
for a home with such a mother!
john RUsIIN has never been ranked
among the so-called temperance ia
natics," but few have ever used stronger
language than he in the following:
drunkenness is not only the cause of
crime, but it is crime; and if any en-
courage drunkenness for the sake of
the profit derived from the sale of
drink, they are guilty of a form Of
moral assassination as criminal as any
that has been practiced by the braves
of any country or any age"

IN THE MATTER OF EATING.
Some of the Causes and circumstances OF
Longevity.


1t may seem hard that the man who
in youth has known the pinch of pow
erty. who remembers how the cut of
mutton with supply of potatoes and
green's scarcely sufficed for vigorous
appetite, should find that in the pros
perity of later life an eight-course din
ner of delicacies fails to tempt him and
that, nevertheless, his physician warns
him that the attack of govt from which
he is suffering means that he is eating
too much and that his diet must be
lowered. Is life then never to give sat
isfaction? Must youth know hunger
and old age safety Must the poor
muscle-worker never have enough food
to give energy to his frame and must
the rich idler have so much to eat that
disease is the consequence To find
the happy man, to live according TO
sweet reasonableness and knowledge
is the aim of the teaching of science,
and if to these are added the princi-
Piles of Christian communism the wealth
of later life will not lead to self-indul-
gence but TO the mitigation of the suf-
ferings of those who want the means of
life. One of many splendid examples is
that of a gentleman now in possession
of large income who in his youth
lived on a salary of ten shillings a week.
lie early made up his mind that to eat
little and drink less would be his rule
in life. To this resolution he has ad-
hered. though fortune has come to
him. Nearly an octogensrian he is still
a man of untiring vigor of body and
mind. Simple in life he dispenses his
great fortune as custodian for his
Master, while living amid the refine
ment and cultured surroundings of an
English gentleman. Sir George liumph-
rey has investigated the life histories
of centenarians in England with the
view of ascertaining the causes and
circumstances of longevity. AS one
reads of the habits and life of these
men and women who attained t. the
age of one hundred years and more one
is struck by the fact that they were
almost invariably lean people of spare
habit. and Of great moderation in eat
ing and drinking. OF thirty-seven three
took no animal food. four took very
little, twenty a little, ten a moderate
amount, and only one acknowledged
taking much meat. With regard to al
cohol the returns are much the same,
and abstemiousness is found to be the
rule of life of these centenarians.
