TAPE WORM.

Mr. G. Brandt, specialist, of San An
tonic, will stay here for few weeks, and
all those who suffer from tape worm will
have chance to get cured. Mr.. Brandt
has studied in Germany, and knows full
well what he means when he says SURE
CURE. The cure takes only from one to
four hours at the highest, and is made
without previous starving, and leaves no
bad effects as is generally the case with
most other cures. Whoever suffers with
taLe worm should not fail to call on or
write to Mr.. Brandt at once, as he will
stay for few weeks only. The medicine
is not only widely known in and around
San Antonio, the home Of Mr.. Brandt,
but also all over the state and beyond its
boundaries.
Persons wishing TO be treated at home,
can be accom- nodated by saying so.
Mrs. Brandt will be in attendance to
wait on lady patients.

What an Expert SAYS of Insomnia.

Sir James Crichton Browne, the OK
pert on brain diseases, holds that in
somnia is not attended with such dis
astrous consequences as is commonly
supposed. 1t is not as dangerous as
the solicitude of the sufferer. He sug-
gests that the brains of literary men,
who are the most frequent victims, ac-
quire the trick of the heart, which
takes q doze of u fraction of a second
after each beat, and so manages to get
six hours rest in "a. Some brains, in
cases of insomnia, sleep in sections,
different brain sections going off duty
in turn.

eRAZIL'S BLACK DIAMONDS.
More Sent to South Africa Than Any
Other Place.


Other Place.
Although the greatest diamond mines
in the world are in South Africa, Brazil
exports more diamonds TO that part
than anywhere else on earth, says a
London paper. The explanation is easy.
They are black diamonds, and not of
the kind used for jewelry. The place of
their greatest utility is underground
in mines. South Africa does not pro-
duce them, but it could not well get
along without them.
Black diamond is the hardest sub
stance known. Its utility has only been
realized for about 90 years, and i'm
provements 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
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 diamond saws are made.
Every tooth is n black-diamond cuba
1t is fastened on when the steel por-
ton of the instrument is in moss&71
1tate.
The attempt to make these stones
,rtificially has proven failure in every
instance. The cost is greater than the
market price of the Brazilian dia-
mond.
Black diamonds weigh ordinarily less
than 100 carats, ranging all the way
down to half a carat. The largest in
existence was found only a short time
ago, its weight being 800 carats. The

WAYS OF AUTHORS.
Some Writers Have Been Very Indus
trious and Painstaking.

trious and Painstaking.
Industry and perseverance, ian in
finite capacity for taking pains" if they
are not indeed genius itself, as has para
doxically been said, form at least the in
dispensable Accomplishments TO it. Mr..
Rider Haggard declares that he writes
his books simply by keeping at work on
them. And the industry of Mr.. Rudyard
kipling may be measured by the fact
that he is said to have written THE
Record of Badalia Herodsfoot," seven
times over, and then to have made con-
siderable corrections on the proofs. The
late Prof. Huxley was another writer
whose industry in perfecting his liter
airy expression, was only rivaled by his
genius.
Strillingly contrasteG with this neces-
sity for industry, says Chambers Jour
nal, have been the personal inclinations
of some conspicuous writer's. Thack-
cray confessed that his besetting sin was
laziness; he could never write, he said,
till the printers devil was at his door.
The story, again, is told of Dickens, how
once ina stationcr's shop he was startled
by hearing lady at the counter inquire
whether the next number of a certain
novel, then appearing in monthly parts,
were out yet. Little did the customer
guess that the next part of the story was
not yet in existence, and that the gentle
man at her elbow, in fact, stood there
for the purpose of buying the paper
upon which he intended to go home
and write the chapter asked for.

a parrot in a certain family was
usually kept in the dining-room with
the family, but during the winter was
removed to the kitchen for greater
warmth. When the winter was past
it again made its appearance among

kitchen. On one occasion, when tho
bell had been rung for something, the
parrot was heard remarking from his
