In one Of our country churches the curate
had to give out two notices, the first of
which was about baptisms, and the latter
referred to new hymnbook. Owing to an
accident he reversed the order and read as
follows:
IL am requested to announce that the
new hymnbook will be used for the first
time in this church on Sunday next, and
am also requested to call attention to the
delay which often takes place in bringing
children to be baptized. They should be
brought on the earliest day possible. This
is particularly pressed on mothers who have
young infants"
And for the information OF those who
have none" added the rector in gentle
kindly tones, and who, being slightly deaf,
had not heard what had been previously
said, land for the information of those who

DIAMOND MINING.

m. Process OF Handling the Dirt Taken
from Below the Surface.
The De Beers and the Kimberley mines
49,. r,rohablv the two biggest holes which
greedy man has ever dug into the earln,
f,e area of the former at the surface DeipS
thirteen acres, with depth OF 400 feet' Tue
area and depth OF the latter being even
Greater These mines are no longer worked
from the surface. but from shafts sunk at
come distance from the original holes, ana
nenetrating to the blue ground by Trans
verse drivings at depths varying from oOV
In 300 feet The blue ground when eN-
tacted is carried In small iron trucks 10
floors" "
These are made by removing the bush
and grass from fairly level piece OF
,,round. the land is then rolled and made
es hard and as smooth as possible. These
"aoorsr are about 800 acres in extent.
They are covered TO the depth Of about
foot with the blue ground, which ior
time remains on them without much ma
nipulation.
The heat Of the sun and moisture soon
have wonderful effect upon It. Large
pieces which were as hard as ordinary
sandstone when taken from the mine soon
commence TO crumble. At this stage oil
the work the winning OF the diamonds as
sumes more the nature OF farming than OF
mining. The ground is continually har-
rowed to assist pulverization by exposing
the larger pieces to the action Of the sun
and rain.
The blue ground from Kimberley mine
becomes quite well pulverized IN three
months. while that from De Beers requires
double that time. The longer the ground
remains exposed the better IL IS for wash
ing. The process Of exposure being com
pleted. the blue ground is then carried to
very large, elaborate and costly washing
machines, in which, by means of the ac-
ton Of running water, the diamonds are
separated from the ordinary earth.
IL may, be mentioned that in this process
100 loads of blue ground are concentrated
into one load Of diamondiferous stuff. An
other machine, the 'pulsator," then sepa-
rates this latter stuff, which appears to be
mass of blue and dark pebbles OF all
shapes into four different sizes, which then
pass on TO the assorters.
The asserting is done on tables, first
while wet by white men, and then dry by
natives. The assorters work with kind
of tsowel, and their accuracy in detecting
and separating the diamond from the
eight different kinds of mineral formations
which reach them is almost unerring.-

ence Monthly.

Is it not about time that the practice,
carried on so extensively in colleges, Of
hazing freshmen should be broken up2
Every few days the newsr apers contain
an account of some act of barbarity
committed by sophomores upon fresh
men. In our dispatches this morning
there is an account Of an attack, at Cor
nell University, New York, by party Of
sophomores upon a party of thirty fresh
men, who were having a class supper.
The sophomores released a lot of chlorine
gas in the room in which the fresh
men wore. The suferings Of
the freshmen were terrible. One of
them died from the effects of the gas and
others are in a precarious condition. The
cook Of the freshmen was also killed.
No doubt the sophOmores thought they
were doing a very fine trick in exposing
the freshmen to the gas. AS a matter Of
fact, their act was cruel and brutal one
and they should be punished to the fullest
extent of the law. There is no excuse for
such conduct.
Young men are not sent to college to be
taught 10 become rufians. Their sur
roundiGgs and the influences to which
they are subjected ought to be such as to
teach them to become gentlemen. No
man who willfully wrongs others or I'M
necessarily subjects them to cruel treat
ment is gentleman.
College presidents and professors CON
denim prize fighting and it is right that
they should, and yet they tolerate hazing,
which is often more brutal than prize
fighting. If the college authorities can
not put stop to the brutal practice they
ought TO appeal to the civil authorities to
do so. Too often however, they overlook
the offenses of college boys, holding the
opinion that they ought not TO be dealt
with as ordinary offenders The ring lead
ers of the outrages should be sought out
and punished, and those who sympathize
with them should be made to understand
that such conduct will not be tolerated by
having the doors Of every college in the
land shut against them.
Hazing in colleges is steadily becoming
more brutal. The killing of student
now and then seems to mark the intro
duction of new method of annoying and
harrassing those comparatively new to
college life. The college authorities pro-
test against the brutal practices, but the
weak way in which they try to enforce
their authority does not command obedi-
ence- 1t rather excites contempt.
The colleges should act in harmony and
refuse admission to any boy or man who
will not pledge himself to have nothing
odo with hazing. Those who break the
pledge should be denied the chance to Sc
cure a college education.

New Ships But No Sailors.

Where are the sailors to be obtained
to man our new war shipsl That is a
question that is now bothering the Sec
rotary of the Navy. There are several
new war ships that are not yet finished,
and it is expected that this congress will
make appropriations for others.
American ships ought TO be manned by
American sailors, but they are not. At
least half the crews of our war ships are
foreigners, and not the most desirable
foreigners. They are the refuse of the
merchant marine service. They are &C
cepted because American sailors cannot
be obtained. If good sailors for ships al
ready in commission cannot be obtained,
where are the men for the new ships TO
come from7
Why is it that American youths will
not enter the navy} They are willing
enough to enter the training ship, but as
soon as they are graduated from those
ships they leave the naval service and
enter the service of the merchant marine.
The reason is said to be the poor pay in
the navy and the impossibility of promo
ton. Few youths care to enter the navy
with no prospect of rising to anything
better than the petty offices. The
merchantmen offer a more attractive
prospect. In the merchant marine SER
vice merit has its reward. Capable men
become officers. In the navy they are
doomed to the ranks, however great their
abilities may be.
Cannot the Secretary of the Navy or the
committee on naval affairs suggest some
way by which young Americans can be in
duced to enter thenaval service as sailors
First-class ships without first-class
crews to handle them are not likely to do
effective service in a naval engage
ment. Indeed, it as important that the
crews of the cruisers and warships
should be healthy and patriotic as that
the vessels themselves should be first
class.
The Annapolis Academy furnishes all
the officers needed, and more. Is that
school in the way of obtaining good
American crews3 Evidently there is
something wrong somewhere. If there
were not there would be more applicants
! for places in the navy than could be ac.
cepted. There are plenty of men out OF
employment, but they don't want to enter
the navy.
This question Of getting American
crews for American warships should be
attended to at once. BY being manned by
foreigners who have been rejected by the
merchant marine service the efficiency OF
the navy is greatly lessened.

Hunting for Motive.

Some of the republican papers Of the
east are indulging in speculations as to
the motive that Influenced the President
10 select Senator White for the vacant
place on the supreme bench, and they are
inclined to think that he wanted to get
him out Of the Senate. because of his de-
clared purpose to oppose the Wilson bill
unless the bill provided for a duty on
sugar. In order to sustain this position
they have to assume that the President is
opposed to a duty on sugar. They not
only assume that he is, but they say that
il is announced that he is in favor of the
bill Just as it was passed by the House.
1t is doubtful if they know what the
Presidents position is in respect to the
Wilson bill He has given no intimation
TO the public as TO whether he favors or
opposes changes in the bill 1t is known
that he does not favor taxing individual
incomes. He has recommended the tax
ing of the incomes of corporations,
but has not recommended the
taxing of individual incomes. A fair
inference, therefore, is that he is not in
favor of the income tax as it is presented
in the Wilson bill, and if he is not in favor
of taxing individual incomes it may be
justly inferred that he is not entirely sat
isfed with the Wilson bill.
II anybody has heard him say he is not
in favor of putting duty on sugar the
fact is not generally known.
1t is highly probable that he would
sign the Wilson bill if it should be sent to
him in the shape in which it passed the
House, because he would not care to de
feat the whole bill in order to prevent a
small and Objectionable part of it from be-
coming law but it doesn't follow that
he would not have the bill changed in any
particular if he could do so.
1t is pretty safe to say that the nomina-
tion of Senator White had nothing what
ever to do with the senator's position on
the Wilson bill, or any other measure.
The senator was nominated on his merits.
That this is true is shown by the state
ment that the President had him in view
when he appointed Mr.. Lamar to the su-
preme bench. 1t was onlynatural, there
fore, that he should turn to Senator
White again, when he found that the
Senate wouldn't confirm the kind of a
man from New York that he wanted.
The removal Of Senator White from the
Senate to the supreme court will have no
effect whatever on the fight in the
Senate for a duty on sugar. The
man who will be appointed to
succeed Senator White in the Senate
will fight for sugar duty as strongly as
Senator White would have done, although
it is doubtful if Senator Whites successor
will be as able man as he is.
There is no use in hunting for the
motive for Senator Whites nomination.
II is apparent. The President went to
Louisiana for the kind of man he
wanted because the Senate rejected his
nominees from New York Senator Hill
must shoulder the responsibility for pre-
venting New York from getting the office
TO which she was entitled
