Diamonds In an Extinct Volcano.

An interesting discovery from q geo. logical point Of view was recently made by an explorer i'll the mountains of Wit zies Hook, Natal. On the summit of an extinct volcano, on the edge of lake that occupies the crater, soundings re- vealed layer of sand inclosing small diamonds. It would be interesting to know whether these diamonds were there accidentally-that is, as the re- suit of washing operations carried on by the natiyes-or whether this discov- cry corresponds to all actual mine Of diamonds, for the hills of Witzies Heck are not situated ill regions known to be diamond bearing. On the last hypoth- esis the presence of precious stones ill the crater of volcano would doubtless throw some light on the formation of the gems in nature. -Genie Civil.

A Boston Man Says the Combination May
 Result In Death.

i Boston Man Says the Combination May
 Result h Death.
 Never eat eggs while you are an- gry, said A. E. Stewart Of Boston. My attention was first called to this strange fact by the tragic and sudden death of lady acquaintance ill Boston several years ago. l accepted her hus- bands invitation to dine with them. Just as we were going ill to dinner . servant did something that caused the lady to fly into terrible rage. She had been irritable from some minor com plaint for several days, and her hus- band calmed her ruffled feelings suffi- ciently for the dinner to be eaten in good temper. 1 noticed that she ate an unusually large amount of soft scram. bled eggs. Fifteen minutes after we left the dining room she was q corpse. She died ill frightful conyuisions be- fore the nearest doctor reached the house. The doctor was unable to aseribe the eause A few months later 1 was visiting brother in Connecticut, and one of his sons died under similar cir cumstanees. Before breakfast one morn ing the boy, who was about l , years old, had fight with neighbours boy. Before his anger had subsided my nephew was called to breakfast, He ate four soft boiled eggs. Had known as much then as l do now 1 would have prevented it. In less than a half hour after breakfast the boy died with exact ly the same symptoms that were present when my friends wife died. This set me to thinking about the matter
 It wasn't long after this before q hcacon hill friend of mine expired sud denly after meal The doctors, as usual, were divided in opinion on the cause of death. some of them contend ed that II was heart failure, whatever that is, and others are still holding out that it was apoplexy. Inquiry by me developed the fact that my friend was very angry when he sat down at table and that he ate five eggs. With these developments I searched no further for the cause of his death. He was angry, he ate eggs, and he died. If these are not links in the chain of cause and ef- feet, the human intellect is incapable of logical thinking. ''-St. Louis Republic.

ERRORS IN LIVING.
hans Excessive Appetite and the Body.s
 Capacity For Food.

To the lay mind nothing seems to au- gur so strongly in favor of robust health as a hearty appetite. Furthermore. there would seem to be strong con- ylctlen in the public mind, sanctiffed by tradition from time almost imme- morial, that the more g man eats the better he is. The quantity of food that many people naturally eat is very large as compared with their actual physi- ologieal requirements. Add to this the many tempting forms in which food is presented to the palate by our modern culinary arts, the sharpening of the ap- petite by the anteprandial cocktail, the stimulus afforded the appetite by bot tie of good wine, and the result is often the consumption of an amount of food that simply overwhelms the assimila- tive organs. Such indulgence, if unre stricted and habitual, taxes both the as- slmllative and the excretory organs to their highest capacity. especially when coupled with sedentary life, and, more- over, it lends an additional impetus to the evils springing from the use of i'm proper quality of food
 The human elaborating and exeretory mechanism was evidently adjusted for ordinary wear and tear to an average limited period of about TO years. Un~ der 40 per cent of extra work we must naturally expect impairment or break down of the mechanism much earlier. 1t should therefore excite no special surprise thatso large proportion of our well to do people die from Bright's dis ease, heart failure and allied diseases at 50 or % who should, and under prop erly regulated lives and habits would. have attained the natural age of 70 or over Paradoxical though it may seem, such people usually spring from excep- tionally healthy stock and often point with pride to the fact that their imme- diate ancestors lived to advanced ages of 80 years or more. This paradox, how ever, is more apparent than real, for in- vestigation will usually reveal the fact that for the most part the parents in such cases were people of more simple habits, such as corresponded with New England life 5 or 100 years ago.
 The truth is that the we'll to do man of today lives ill faster age than that of his father and grandfather. lie meets with greater opportunities and possi- bilities and therefore greater stimulus to all his energies. He more easily ac- quires pecuniary resources, and ill larger amounts, and therefore he pos yesses greater luxuries of domestic life With these come greater temptations to excess. While he has often inherited 9 splendid constitution from his ances- tors, unlike them he has run his phys ical mechanism at breakdown rate, and it must of necessity more quickly wear out. Charles ". Purdy, NJ D.. i'll North American Review.

CUNNING OF THE LEFT HAND
Some of the Advantages That Are Pos-
 sessed by the Ambidextrous.

Some of the Advantages That Are Pos-
 sessed by the Ambidextrous.
 Ambidextrous men and women, CT those who can use either right or left hand with equal facility, are not near ly so frequently met with as might at first be supposed--in fact, they are quite rare This double faculty is, however, much more frequently met with among butchers and sailors than i'll any other walks of life Left handed butchers are numerous, as walk through any of our large market houses will quickly demonstrate, but it is Il very interest ing study to watch one of them who will cut, chop, saw and handle his meat without once changing it from one side to the other on the block or changing his own position.
 In view of the many advantages de- rived from the ability to use both hands equally well many people have often expressed surprise at tic action of edu- cational authorities ill insisting on the use of only the right hand instead of trying to develop an equal skill i'll the other They all stick to the right hand ed idea, however, and an old resident of Frankford, noted for his ambidex- trousness, is still mourning the loss of prize at school through the use of his left hand in writing, although he was equally skillful IS ! penman with his right.
 The benefits derived from the use of both hands were excellently illustrated in the experience of two carpenters who lived in Frankford some years ago Their names were Cross and Walton, and the former was right handed, the latter left handed. As one was also very tall and the other very short, they made curious couple, but they always worked together laying floors and put ting up joiners' work in buildings
 They could take jobs of this charae ter cheaper than any ether, becaus they could work from either end towa each other so handily. Cross NC square floor board at one fntl Walton would ''scribe' and cat i to fit at inc other end and th down, Working together from ends.
