An Odd Crusade.

Mrs. Annie Besant's eloquencc and
sincerity have produced something
like a revival of Hinduism where
ever she has gone in India-a revival
upon the ancient basis rather than on
the modern principles now generally
adopted by HindOo reformers them
selves. The Christian missionaries
are girding on their armor against this
perfervid protest in favor of Eastern
as against Western forms of faith
Il plead to you for your old faith"
runs one of the quotations from her
preaching. BE not ashamed of the
ancient worship. Be not recreant to
the ancient faith" 1t is by such ap-
peals to the national sentiment that
most great movements have been in
itiated. BY her eloquent use of them
Mrs. Besant has succeeded in stirring
the hearts of her audiences to depths
never reached by a Western propa-
gandist in 1ndia.-London Times.

In the Russian army there is one
particular regiment of infantry of the
guards, formed by Emperor Paul, the
men of which are recruited not so
much with regard to their height or
the color of their hair and complexion
as to the shape of their noses. EN-
peror Paul has typical Kalmuk nose
of the most overwhelmingly uptilted

ment to him, all the officers and men
of this particular regiment have noses
of the same shape, the sight which

WISCONSIN DIAMONDS.

Those Found at Oregon Were Genuine,
But Not Valuable.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Special Agent
George F. Kuntz of the geological sur
vey has sent to DR.. David T. Day, chief
Of the mineral resources division, a re-
port on two recent diamond finds. He
says: sin October, 1898, small boy
while playing on farm that had been
under cultivation for 40 years, located
near Oregon, Wis.,, picked up small
semi-transparent pebble from bank of
clay that contained large number of
quartz pebbles. The stone was taken to
Prof. w. H. Hobbs of the university Of
Wisconsin at Madison, and it was found
to be genuine diamond. 1t was sent
to New York for further investigation
and proved to be an elongated dedeca-
podal crystal weighing 3-8 carats. Its
color is slightly grayish green. This,
however, is only superficial, and it will
undoubtedly be when cut a white stone,
although not of great value, as it con.
tains some minute specks in the center
and has pronounced flaw on one side.
This find is particularly interesting in
connection with the finding of three
small diamonds at Blue Creek. Wis.,, in
1890. Quite recently a diamond was
found near the Kings mountains which
weighed "a carats, 1t is of light
canary color and has remarkably
brilliant surface"
