Poe's Manuscripts.

It is the irony of fate again that the
man who lives in poverty should have
written lines which to-day bring large
SUMS. An offer of $500 for the original
manuscript Of 1.-The Raven" has been
refused by the owner. The manuscript
of ''The Bells sold at auction not long
ago for s275, and five-line notes have
brought from $35 to $50. The first edi-
ton of Poe's poems, printedin 1927 ,isnow
very rare, only three copies being extant,
so far as is known. For 20 years only one
copy was known to exist, and this was
kept in the locked room of the British
museum. In 1892 another copy was
found, and, although its intrinsic value
was not more than ten cents, it sold at
auction for $1,S75, and the purchaser
sent it to Paris to he bound in mosaic
at an additional cost OF 5000. The third
copy was discovered recently and no
doubt will be sold for large SUNNI.

BLACK DIAMONDS.
Most Of Them Produced In Brasil and
Sent to Africa.

Most OF Them Produced In Br1xu ana
Sent to Africa.
Although the greatest diamond mines
in the world are in South Africa, Brazil
exports more diamonds to that part
than anywhere else on earth. The ex-
plauation is easy. They are black dia-
monds, and are not of the kind used in
jewelry.. The place of their greatest
utility is underground in mines. South
Africa does not produce them, but it
could not well get along without them:
Black diamond is the hardest sub
stance known. It's utility has only been
realized for about 20 years, and improve
ments are constantly being made in it.
The rough stones are taken and split by
machinery in a way that was unknown
until recently. The split must follow
the grain. If it: does not half Of the
stone will be wasted. Each stone is
split into cubes of different sizes. The
cubes are then welded into mining drills
if they are to be used for boring. The
steel is cast about the diamond SO that
it cannot get loose. In the same way
nearly all the diamond saws are made.
They are circular saws. Every tooth is
q black diamond cube. It is fastened on
when the steel portion is in a molten
state.
The attempt to make these stones ar
tificially has proved a failure in every
instance. The cost is greater than the
market price of the Brazilian diamond.
Black diamonds weigh ordinarily less
than 100 karats, ranging all the way
down TO half karat. The largest in ex-
istence was found only d short time ago,
its weight being $40 karats. The dia-
mond was sold to museum for e 5000.

ing by links two clasps.
The latest teaspoon, also used as a
nursery gift, is very beautiful and
unique in shape, the bowl in grooves
like a mandolin, the handle beaded in
IN arabesque design.
The sterling silver porringer is
favorite bestowal of godparents from
the fact that it can be kept and handed
down through many generations.
Plain silver is now the fancy, and es-
pecially noticeable in the porr:nger,
which is with heavy, smooth bowl, and
short ornamental side handles.
The bowl and plate for actual service
is also with smooth, highly polished
surface, and richly beaded edges. The
silver cup, if up to date, is an exact re-
production of the common tin kitchen
cup, except in price! It's convenience
of shape to drink from, the polished
surface easily kept bright and its odd
appearance have made it popular as a
taby appointment. - Chicago Inter

x0yC0lC PHENOMENON W01CD Leu TO LoO
Marriage of . Couple.
'Four OF five years ago." said a
bachelor in conversation with re-
porter, II had a asweetheart that / was
deeply in love with and wanted to
marry, but was afraid to ask her. At
that time was making q study of
psychic phenomena and that sort of
thing and it occurred to me to make a
psychical proposal by projecting my
subjective mind around the corner 10
where the girl lived and fixing it up all
ready for me when should take my
objective mind around to have the
affair ratified. I went to see her one
evening and felt sure that il l asked
her l would get her, Notwithstanding
she was about equally interested in a
friend Of mine, whom I shall call
George. Having doubts as to my cour.
age, determined to make test next
evening, instead of going to see her,
80 l retired early-that is, about nine
o'clock-and, according to formula, l
exerted my mental faculties to their ut
most and directed all my mental en-
ergies upon the girl and willed with all
my power that she accept me. For
half an hour, fully, shut out every
thought but this important one and
went to sleep, or into trance, under
the mental strain. awoke an hour or
two later and felt that my efforts had
been a success and that it would be all
right next day when called. felt sc
encouraged that went to sleep On |
dreamed beautiful dreams of her until
morning. At three o'clock next after
noon 1 called to make my real proposal.
I talked to her on some trivial subject
or other for half an hour and then came
to the all-important matter.

or emotional sensations last evening""

"She blushed violently and was sure
that my subjective proposal had hit

"'How did you know anything about
it?' she replied, laughing somewhat
nervously.

queen is not, however, looked upon as
in every way desirable one, and four
OF the noble e-gentlemen in question, get
ting wind of the affair, promptly went
of and engaged themselves to women
for whom they had preferences. The
son of the duke of Argyll chanced to be
away on fishing trip at the time, and
so heard nothing of the matter until his
return to London, when almost immedi-
ately the hand of the princess was of
fered to him. This was, of course, prac-
tically equal to royal command. and
very shortly afterward the marriage
took place.-Detroit Free Press.

am not content to merely make
money, for am a woman of progress
sive tendencies, and study constantly
in order to perfect myself in every de-
tail of my profession, for the dental
art has made vast strides during the
last few years, writes DR.. Carrie Volts
bruck, an eminent dentist.
l have no desire or intention to be-
little my own sex-far from it-for I
believe that they can compete success
fully in almost I'll of the professions
hitherto usurped by men. There are.
therefore, certain limitations, physical
rather than intellectual. which are to
be considered. A woman should be
fitted by temperament, inclination and
physical adaptability for the work, or
she is likely to be a failure. Dentistry
is profession, not a trade, and there is
always something to be learned.
must lay peculiar stress on the in
capacity of women for enduring fa-
tigue, for that is the weakest point in
the armor of our sex. With hygienic
living. aided by physical training, the
next generation will probably be equal
to all emergencies, and will be capaci-
tated physically as well as mentally
to compete side by side with their male
competitors in whatever calling they
elect to enter.
Young girls frequently come to me
for advice. give them the benefit of
my experience, and, while do not dis
courage them, dislike to advise the
taking up of a profession which, while
it may prove lucrative, is exacting in
the extreme, taxing the mental and
physical capacity to the utmost limit
Of endurance.-Godey's Magazine.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

DIR. Richardson figures that the
blood flows through the body atthc rate
Of seven miles an hour.
1t appears that the single state of
Georgia now has more manufactures
than the whole south had in 1860. This
is an illustration of the remarkable
change that has been taking place in
southern industries during the past 30
years.
TO the list of things made from
wood silk must be added. This fact is
due to the experimental Frerchman
named Chardonnicr. The process OF
manufacture differs little from the max
ing of paper. The wood is first ground
into pulp, steamed and chemically
prepared.
Horse power in steam engines is
calculated as the power which would
raise $4,000 pounds a foot high in .
minute, or 80 pounds at the rate of four
miles an hour. The effective force OF
piston is taken ut ten pounds per
square inch, and is, of course, ten times
the square inches in pounds.
Last seasons salmon pack in Brit
ish Columbia was 66,395 cases. It is
expected the pack on the Columbia
river this season will be enormous it
the run is good. Many canning estab-
lishments have been removed to the
American side of the river, because
Canadian Gamers are only permitted to
use nets, while American Gamers may
use any device to catch the fish.
President Harris, of the Reading
railroad, estimates the original contents

which at an annual rate of production
cf 45,OOO,OOO tons, would last 265 years,
but probably only about one-half of the
amount unmined would be actually
available.

MOUNTAINS OF MANiCALAND.
4 Part Of South Africa That May Be
Compared with Switzerland.

A Part Of South Africa That May Be
Compared with Switzerland.
Two hundred miles north-northeast
O: Basutoland the great Kathlamba
range rises in very bold slopes from the
coast levels behind Delagoa bay, and the
scenery of the valleys and passes is said
to be extremely grand. Knowing it,
however, only Ly report, will not ven-
ture to describe it. Nearly 500 miles
still further to the north, in the district
called Manicaland already referred to, is
third mountain region, less lofty than
Basutoland, but deriving singular
harm from the dignity and variety of
its mountain forms.
The whole country is SO elevated that
snmmits of 1000 or even 5000 feet do
not produce any greater effect upon the
eye than does Ben Lomond as seen from
Loeb Lomond, or Mount Washington
from Glen House. But there is bold
ness of line about these granite peaks
comparable to those of the west coast
Of Norway or of the finest parts Of the
Swiss Alps. Some of them rise in smooth
shafts of apparently inaccessible rock:
others form long ridges of pinnacles of
every kind of shape, specially striking
when they stand out against the bril-
liantly clear morning or evening sky.
The valleys are well wooded, the lower
slopes covered with herbage, SO the ef-
feet of these wild peaks is heightened
by the softness Of the surroundings
which they dominate, while at the same
time the whole landscape becomes more
complex and more noble by the min
Cling Of such diverse elements.
No scenery better deserves the name
OF romantic. And even in the tanner
parts, where instead of mountains there
are only low hills, or "kopjes" (as they
are called in South Africa), the COM
paratively friatle rock of these hills
decomposes under the influence of the
weather into curiously picturesque and
fantastic forms, with crags riven to
their base, and detached pillars sup
porting loose blocks and tabular masses,
among or upon which the timid Mas
honas have built their huts in the hope
of escaping the raids of their wariixo
enemies, the Matabele.-Prof. James
Bryce, NJ. p. in Century.

Southern Educational Adtsncements.

as, while the south has gained "a per
cent. in population in the last 20 years,
the increase in the enrolment of school

the same period the value of the school
property has increased from s16,0oo,ooo
to $51, ,OOO, 900, an addition of nearly $2,-
100000 per year. OF all the people in
the south, white and black, one in five
