Chronicles Comment.
Chamberlain's Advice.

LONDON, Nov. 10. A deputation OF
West Indian merchants and planters
called yesterday at the colonial office and
had an interview with Secretary Chamber
lain. They urged that injury was being
done to the West Indies by the bounties
given for sugar production in Europe.
Mr.. Chamberlain pointed out that, in re-
spect 90 some of the dependencies, 1t
might be possible to make their prosperity
less bound up in sugar planting, and ex-
pressed the opinion that there was no
chance of getting the house Of commons
TO sanction countervailing duties in order
to force foreign governments to stop Civ
ing sugar bounties.

A Namaqua wltchcraft Story.

once Namaqua was travelling in COM
pany with a Boschwoman carrying a
child on her back. They had proceeded
some distance on their journey, when a
troop of wild horses appeared, and the
man said to the woman, 81 am hungry;
and as | know you can turn yourself
into lion, so do now, and catch wild
horse, that we may eat" The woman
answered, You'll be afraid" mo, no."
said the man; II am afraid of dying
with hunger, but not of you" Whilst
ne was yet speaking, hair began to ap-
pear at the back of the woman's neck,
her nails began to assume the appear
ance of claws, and her features altered.
She sat down the child. The man,
alarmed at the change, climbed a tree
close by, the woman glared at him fear
fully, and going to one side she threw
off her skin petticoat, when perfect
lion rushed out into the plain; it bound
ed and crept along the bushes towards
the wild horses, and springing on one
Of them it fell, and the lion Tapped its
blood. The lion then came back to
where the child was crying, and the
man called out from the tree, Enough
enough!-don't hurt me. Put off your
lions shape, I'll never ask to see this
again." The lion looked at him and
growled. "I'll remain here till die"
said the man, "if you don't become a
woman again" The name and tail
then began to disappear, the lion then
went towards the bush where the skin
petticoat lay; it was slipped on, and the
woman in her proper shape took up
her child. The man descended, par
took Of the horses flesh, but never
again asked the woman to catch game
for him.

Would Be a Boy Again.

Magistrate Harrison is laughing
heartily over case that was adjusted
before him the other day, says the Phil
adelphia Record. A wagon loaded with
mineral water jugs backed up to the
curbstone in front Of bottling estab-
lishment last week and the driver pro-
ceeded to unload his wagon by tossing
the jugs, one at time, to a colored
youth who stood on the opposite side
of the curbstone, ready to catch all that
came his way.
When things were moving nicely an
old man who occupied a house next
door stepped out of his own door, threw
brick as straight as bullet and
broke one of the jugs while it was in
transit from the driver TO the colored
boy. He darted back into his own
domicile before the driver could re-
cover himself enough to make a pro-
test. A few minutes later another Jug
was smashed, and again the old man
disappeared with merry laugh. This
was kept up until about dozen Jugs
had been smashed, when the angry pro-
prietor stopped the fun by causing the
old fellows arrest on the charge of
malicious mischief.
When Judge Harrison read the
charge the old man laughed until the
tears rolled down his cheeks. and then
admitted his guilt. In making an ex-
PLANTATION he told the astonished mag
istrate that he was able and willing to
pay for all the damage he had dane
and said: Il saw those jugs flying. arj
/ knew in my heart that l would have
thrown bricks at them when was a
boy sixty years ago. I just wanted to
see how It would feel again. and
couldn't help myself" The explana-
ton was satisfactory, and after settling
the old fellow went away still laughing
heartily.

age Of four he lost his left leg in a rail-
road accident The right was also seri-
ously injured at the ankle.
Arnie was healthy, full-blooded boy,
and the inactivity which the accident
entailed brought an excess OF blood, He
was threatened with apoplexy and
other troubles. An intelligent doctor
told him that the only thing that would
cure him was hard exercise.
One OF the earlier r4sults of constant
gymnastic exercise was to enable him
to do an ordinary mans work on a
farm, But his muscular strength de-
veloped so remarkably that he turned
this attention to athletics as an occu-
patton.
He Joined a circus first, and after
wards was for some years athletic and
boxing instructor in a club. Then he
again devoted his talents to the enter
talnment Of the public. For fifteen
years he has been performing publicly.
One of Armies most remarEa0ie acts
is to skate. He can go round the stage
Of theater on his solitary leg and
skate as long as anybody cares to watch
him. With crutch he says he can
skate on Ice as well as some Of the
ablest two-legged skaters.
On the horizontal bar he can go over
In circle with one hand and do many
other remarkable things. The biceps
muscles of his arm measures sixteen
inches.
He can box one-minute rounds on one
leg. With crutch he claims he can
hold his own with a good professional
boxer. He gave an illustration of how
he delivered knockout right-hand
blow. He hoped forward about four
feet on his one leg. When he stopped
his right was extended at full length
and his crutch was firmly planted be-
hind him. If any man is looking for a
cripple to fight let us hope he will find
this one.
Arnie also rides a bicycle skillfully
and gracefully both on the stage and on
the road.
Finally he can hop half a mile on his
one leg.

Found pead In Bed.

Henry Bauer, years old, living in
Front street, was found dead in bed by
his father, who came home from work
at o'clock. The lads death was pa
thetic, says the New York Tribune. His
mother died four months ago and the
father was not willing to send his chill
dren to any institution. Henry and his
two sisters, both younger than himself
kept house as best they could. They
were lonely with out their mother, and
little Henry, who assumed charge OF
the little girls, worried and pined over
his hard lot. There was no escaping
it, however, and every day he gave
them their dinner, kept them as tidy as
possible and wondered If he should ever
have a good time again. Wednesday
afternoon he told Mrs. Wiegand, a
neighbor who had shown fondness for
him, that his head ached badly.
II guess I'm going to be sick, Mrs.
Weigand," said he, land mamma isn't
here to take care of me. Who'll take
care of-of them?" he asked, his eyes
filling with tears and his face growing
paler.
Mrs. Weigand told him to lie down
and rest and his little sisters would be
taken care Of all right.
when you wake up your headache
will be gone" said she, good humor-
eddy.
He crawled into bed with his clothes
on and went to sleep and when he woke
up it was with his mother" When his
father called his name at o'clock
there was no response.
"Henry's asleep, papa" said the
youngest child.
The father lighted the gas and went
to the bedside Of the motionless boy.
One look at the pale face showed him
that little Henry's complainings had
been well founded. Death is supposed
to have been due to some brain trouble.

"FIrst Water Diamond"

What do you mean by the express
sion first water?"
"The expression first water when
applied to a diamond denotes that it is
free from all traces of color, blemish,
flaw or other imperfection, and that its
brilliancy is perfect. 1t is, however,
frequently applied to stones not quite
perfect, but the best that the dealer has,
and they may be of only second quality.
1t is almost impossible to value dia-
mond by its weight only. Color, bril-
liancy, cutting and the general perfec-
tion Of the stone have all to be taken
into account. OF two stones, both flaw
less and Of the same weight, one may
be worth 5000 and the other $4,000.
Exceptional stones often bring unusual
prices, while 'off-color' stones sell from
$50 to $10O a carat, regardless of size.
The poor qualities have deprecated so
much in value that some are worth only
from one-tenth to one-fourth what they
were worth twenty years ago. This is
specially true of large stones Of the
second or third quality"
