Diamonds In the Meteors.

Professor Berthelot has pointed out that in the writings of Avicenna there is mention of metallic aerolite which fell in Djorjan, in central Asia, in the eleventh century which could neither be broken nor worked up into arms or tools. One of the blocks of native iron found at Ovijak, in Greenland, in 1870, is so hard that it can neither be scratch ed nor cut, and Professor Nordenskjold suggests that this may be due to the presence of black diamonds disseminated through tho iron.

Aner Failing Three Times the Mikado's
 Troops Made a Fierce Onslaught and Were

 The Fleet Did but Little.
 CHEFu, Nov. 24.-Dispatohes have been received here stating that the Japanese captured Port Arthur on "Wednesday last after IS hours fighting.
 The fighting was continuous from noon of the goth. The Japanese fleet did not take part in the engagement though the torpedo boats attached to the fleet did. The Japanese are now leaving Port Ar thur.
 The attack on Port Arthur by Japan's second army under General Oyama was so carefully planned that when fire was opened the Japanese troops assailed the city at every point.
 The fighting was terrible and was only ended when the Chinese, unable to strug gle any longer withdrew in retreat to tke mountain passes near by, leaving the city at the mercy of their foes.
 The fall of Port Arthur leaves clear the way to Peking for Japan. Whether or not that oity will suffer like fate must . depend upon what action China will take within very few days

Training a Saddle Horse.

A man who has not learned SOME
thing of riding had best not try to
train his own horse, for it would al
most impossible for master and ami
NAL to be educated at the same time.
But when one has once mastered the
rudiments of horsemanship he should
by all means train his horse. Until he
has taken a green horSe-I do not say
an unbrOken horSa-and trained the
horse to so the various gaits ut conf
mand, he will never know the highest
pleasure to be derived from the cXer-
else When one has such a horse there
is something like n double ownership
in the animal, for the master has sup
piled the education which increases the
animals value a hundred fold. By a
green horse | mean a horse that has
been bitted and backed, is no longer
afraid to let a man mount into the sad
die, and is what trainers call "brldle-
wise" And yet it is Il pity that gen
tleman wanting to turn out perfect
saddle horse could not have him in
the very beginning, and by patience
and gentleneSS get the confidence, re-
spect and affection of the animal. The
breaking Of colts in this country is
usually very roughly done, the young
horse being conquered in the end by
the greater persiStancy and ingenuity
of man. The method usually employed
is only little less crude than ''broncho

stances rs In Minnesota and Dakota,
on what is known as the Bonanza"
farms. Bonanza farming moves west
constantly and the dog-kennel and rag
weed follow it. Generally in the west
rented farm runs down. while in the
east 1t is often the reverse, and for the
reason that the rented farms in the
west are given over to exclusive grain
growing. which means soil exhaustion,
and the neglect of whatever building
and fences there may be- 1t is, how
ever. impossible for the farm, even
when used for stock growing to be run
down, but it is usually when there is
no manure returned to the ground, no
proper rotation of crops and no desire
to secure improved stock. There is
something about improved live stock
of any breed that lifts the moral tone
of the man, gives him pride in his pro-
fession, makes his children and his
family take pride in the animals on
the farm and in the farm itself, until
the run down farm devoted to pasture
and improved stock begins to take on
new life, an air of thrift, home comfort
and happiness. The first thing, there
fore, to restore the run down farm is
to improve the farmer himself; to get
him to realize that it is not all clouds
and darkness; that he is not doomed
to a life of perpetual drudgery; to hon
or his own profession; to look forward
with hopefulness to the future, to a
comfortable. serene and happy old age,
surrounded by the comforts of his home
which are the results of his own labors,
and by children who will rise up and
call him blessed.
