Philosophic Inquiry Into the Fact
That They Rarely Go Together.
It was asserted the other day by a
literary man that all clever women,
at least women who had distinguish
cd themselves above the common
herd OF their sisters, were plain
featured, upattractive, IL not posi-
lively ugly. It's true, and pity It's
It's true, that almost all the great
women Of letters, Nine. de Stsel,
Nine. Sand, George Eliot. Charlotte
Bronts, Mrs. Browning and Miss
Austen. were plain women. The
question then arises, is this the fault
of nature, whose nigRsrd hand will
not deal out simultaneously beauty
OF feature and power Of brain, or is
II the fault of women who are con.
tent to accept the appeudags ri
beauty as n kingdom aud a power in
itself, and seek DO more 50 long As
there are slaves ready aud willing to
be attached to their cart Or Is 1t
that the plain woman, handicapped
in the race of life with her beautiful
sisters, has carved out new career
and a new triumph for berelfi Pro.
lessor Lombroso, no doub,, has .
ready answer for the problem. Mean.
while the new woman might refute
the assertion triumphautly by grow
ing beautiful rs we'll as clever. Poet.
esses at least ought to be lovely,
with the example Of Byron, Keats,
Shelley, Schiller and Goethe, Alfred
de Musset and Tennyson before
them. Nature, so generous to male
poets, cannot surely refuse to women
the privileges she lavishes on the
steruer sex.

The Largest Black Diamond.

The largest Black Diamond.
This diamond weighs 3, 100 carats
and IS, therefore, the largest eve
known. The great Jagersfontain dia
mond, which was found in South afri
ca about two years ago, and which
was said to- be the largest known TO be
in existence up to that time, weighed
about $40 carats. The stone wa
found in the Carbon district, the old
diamond fields of Brasil. It is of the
class known as "black diamond" Oh
commercially as carbon, which are
used in diamond drills and for similar
purposes their color not adapting
them to ornament.
At the present time the stone il in
the jewelry firm Of Kahn & Company
Of Paris, and the Brazilian govern
ment is negotiating for its purchase
for the National Museum. The stone
was offered to Messrs. Bishop & Com
pany, but they declined to purchase it,
as it is difficult to how such an excep-
tionally large stone will turn out when
cut into commercial size, and the.
price demanded was too great. The
value is placed by experts at between
$4,000 and $4,000. The price
paid for it by the present owners Is
somewhat uncertain, one account put.
ting it at t26, 900, while another says
that they paid 52s.sd. (English) per.
carat, which would make the price.

The fact appears that there is very
marked difference in the way tenn
perature is borne by the eyes when it
is below 1000 degrees Fahrenheit,
and when above that heat. Up to
such. a degree man can look at the

ease, but before it reaches 5000 de-

| The culture of olives is becoming
an important part Of the great fruit
industry Of California. Over 800, 900
trees have been planted during the
present year, and it is expected that
at least 1000, 900 will be put out du-
ring she next year. The total area of
olive orchards in the state is $1,000
acres; valued at about $5,000,0OO;
and the value of the crop last year,
gathered from 5000 trees, was $780,
600.
1t is fact worthy of notice that
there are 100000 Scandinaviaps in
the United States, of whom 120 900
are voters. This becomes the more
important when is considered the ad-
ditional fact that they are most nume-
rous in a few states and are not scat
tered as are OF her erforeigners, through
out the country. There are more
than 200, 900 Swedes and Norwegiens
in the state of Minnesota, 100000 Swe-
des in Illinois. $4,000 Norwegians
in Wisconsin,, $1,000 Danes in Ne
braska, Is, 900 in Iowa, and 10000 in
Michigan. The influence of this
large body of Scandinavian voters
upon the politics of the country will
be known hereafter. The ma iority of
them show disposition to vote Repu-
blican.
