the Worlds Largest Diamond.

A flashing gem, whose purity of water
and wonderful size eclipse the famous
Kobinoor, has Just reached England from
the Orange Free State. 1t is now in
London, but its whereabouts are not
known. The owners evidently are afraid
to make its presence public. A model
has. however, been obtained.
1t is the most perfect large stone ever
seen. It's weight is 971 carats, its color
is blue-white and almost perfect. 1t has
one black spot in it, which, however, the
owners state, will cut out. It's value, Of
course, can not now be stated, but, writes
correspondent, /, think if s25O,OOO
we're offered for it now, or even double
that amount, it would not be accepted
Some declare that it will be worth ST.
100000. 1t was found by Kaffir, who
was working in the mine, shortly after
blasting. The Kaffir was talking to his
overseer, when he saw something shine,
and he put his foot over it until his
"boss" had gone away, when he picked
up the immense diamond and put it in his
pocket.
Afterward, in the compound, he hand
ed it over to the manager, for which he
has been given $50, a horse, saddle
and bride, and has gone home in, no
doubt, perfect happiness. An extraordI-
nary circumstance is that some gentlemen
were under contract to buy all stones,
good. bad or Indifferent, at so much per
carat. The contract terminated on the
3O,h of June and this stone was almost,
if not quite, the last stone found on
that day.
The model shows that the stone Is in
the form of sloping cone, fattened on
two sides and standing on an oval base,
so flush as almost to appear to have been
cul. Its height is about three inches and
its width is about two, while the fiat base
measures nearly two inches by one and a
quarter The diamond has been named

Ho,o to Enjoy Politics.

To those of US who belong to the coun-
try, but not to either political party, and
don't care rap whether a man is Re-
publican or a Democrat as long as he
pays his bills promptly, the present situ-
alton is full of interest
When Mr.. Cleveland goes fishing, for
example, the Republican papers give us
a cartoon which no one can help langh-
ing at, however mad it may make him,
for the president assumes the proportions
of the big tun in the Heidelberg castle
which holds 100 barrels of beer. When
he starts for Washington and the extra
session, one paper, Democratic Of course,
tells us that there was large crowd at
such and such a station, and that the
president received perfect ovation. On
the same morning the opposition tell
their readers that when CIeveland's train
pulled up at that station he was greeted
by two old women and small boy who
wanted him to buy quart of buckle
berries.
This is just as it should be. An cleo
tion in old Ireland, is pretty tame affair
unless the shillelah is able to get in some
of its fine work, but in this country we
take it out in cartoons and paragraphs
and squibs, and as many lies as the i'm
agination can concoct When Harrison
reigned we hardly ever saw him, because
he was buried under grandfather's hat.
Indeed in some dyed in the wool Demo
cratic sections he was never spoken of
except as "The Man Under the Hat. >
We haven't any doubt that Mr.. Harri-
son, when behind closed doors had a good
time over the fun of the thing, and in
like manner, of course Mr.. Cleveland
reads the comic papers and enjoys the
monstrous caricatures with which they
are adorned.-New York Telegram.

The Plum aud It's Uses.

Our plum is the cultivated plum Of the
garden, whose parent is native OF Asia
and Southern Europe but which hiss taken
so kindly to the conditions Of soil and cli-
mate in our newer world that many Of the
choicest varieties seem almost spontaneously
produced here, varieties surprising in beau
ty and flavor the most noted plums Of France
or England.
The most important form Of plum in COM
merce is that of prunes, as they are export
ed from France, Turkey. and our own Cali
fornia to every part Of the world. The
finer class of prunes passes through very
careful course Of treatment before being put
into the market The plums are gathered
when just ripe enough to fall from the trees
on being slightly shaken. They are all
picked by hand. care being taken not to
gather them until the sun has entirely dried
off the dew They are then spread in shall
low baskets, and kept in cool. dry place
until they become very soft. when they are
put lu spent o'eu iVi b"e"'t io"' N~~''i
then taken out. carefully turned, and, the
oven being reheated, slightly warmer than
before, returned to it.
This operation is again repeated, when
they are taken out and left to get quite cold.
The next step in the process is rounding"
an operation consisting Of turning the stone
in the plum without breaking the skin and
pressing the two ends together between
thumb and finger Twice more are they
then submitted to heat, after which they are
packed in jars or boxes for sale.

by fermeniing the bruised pulp and kernels
of the plum with honey and -four, aud dis.

The Girl Who Whistles.


A woman who has made study of the
whistling girl says that, aside from her
assumption of masculine prerogative,
she is usually dainty and fastidiOus bit
of femininity, who loses not one iota of
her womanly charm when she FUCKERS
her pretty mouth and whistles merry
tune. Rather the roguish twinkle in her
eye challenges censure. To superficial
observer she is bright, jolly, original
Know her better, and she is frank, hon
est, highspirited, noble-hearted, superior
to the alleged pettiness of her sex, and
should circumstances require, sufficiently
generous to make wonderful sacrifices for
those she loves, for, being ardent and i'm
pulsive, she loves warmly. She may
hate, too, with corresponding enthusiasm,
but not for long, for being tender of
heart, and believing always the best of
humanity, this harsher sentiment finds no
permanent home with her.
Contrary to the general opinion, she is
rarely, if ever, "tomboy." and, if she oc-
casionaIly makes use of her ability to at
tract the attention of some delinquent
conductor, it is only when she is hurrying
home at dusk. and knows that the friend
ly darkness will not reveal her secret
AS she approaches the corner she sees the
coveted car leaving her perhaps to long
and weary wait upon the sidewalk. She
glances around to appeal 10 some possible
small boy, but this convenient commodity
fails to appear. Steadily the car is re-
ceeding. Can she be blamed if she for
moment forgets that utility should weigh
lightly in her vocal scale? And at last
when she triumphantly enters the car,
no one would suppose that those demure
lips had uttered that shriIl and effective
signal.
Altogether, although inclined to be will
ful and rebelious al times (and who ad-
mires dull perfection), she is a girl fash
ioned after free ideal. Is she to have
her vocal freedom restrained by cruel
conventionality which forbids her to en-
liyen her own home with a pretty, bird
like music, while at the same time it not
only tolerates, but often pretends to ad-
mire, the vocalist next door who seeks to
entertain the entire neighborhood at even
tide by a series of wailing notes and soar
ing crescendos? ? The whistling girl
abruptly unpuckers her rosy lips to show
her pretty teeth in dazzling smile as
she flashes upon you newer version of
her grandmother's rebuke;
Girls that whistle and hens that crow
Make their way wherever they go.

The Ne,c Sh,nIeof.

There is more in that Rockland (Ills.)
mans experiment than would seem at a
first glance. He proposes to have him
self buried alive, and promises at the end
of few weeks to emerge from his tomb
full of life and vigor and not the slight
est bit damaged by his contact with sus-
pended animation.
If the Rockland man succeeds, there
ought to be no more suicides. His due
tilted slumber will be pauacea for
great many things, including heart pan
les, domestic difficulties and short bank
accounts. We say this taking it for
granted that he will not keep his secret,
but will let the whole human family into
his confidence and fully explain how the
oriental trick of filling grave for awhile
without dying Is done.
When all the world has been enlight-
ened on this subject, the lover whose
breast holds tempest can seek surcease
of sorrow in one of the public letheala-
RUINS which will of course be established.
He can suicide for few weeks, as it
we're, and only born fools will then sui
eide for keeps.
The man of family who finds hard
times pushing him to the wall can take
his whole brood to one of these temples
of temporary oblivion, and all can rest
there until the crisis is passed. So, too,
the young man who has no money to
spend on his vacation can have himself
put away in a niche in one of these places
and give out that he is all the while tour
ing Europe.
The lethealarium will serve many pur-
poses of this kind and will help to spread
optimism all over the sphere. Dying for
few weeks will become great fad if
the Rockland man triumphs. Tempus
may fugit, but eternity will not be in it
any more.-Ne,c York World.
