Do Diamonds Breed?

One Of the queerest Of the old time
superstitions was the one that is respon-
sible for the notion that pearls and dia-
monds breed" like animals do. Rues
says: GAS for what 1 know concerning
the reputed story that precious stones are
divided into sexes, male and female,
just as are plants and animals, and that
they breed like the latter do, relate
the following. which came under my
own knowledge: A certain princess of
Luxembourg had two diamonds, the col
ors of which betokened that they were
male and female. The princess laughed
1t the notion until one day she was
startled by finding a tiny speck of dia
mono in her casket. She put the two
large diamonds and the little one away
together, ana they had a whole family
n q reasonable course of time" a sim
liar tale is also told by Boethius. st.

THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE.



In the beginning Of the thirteenth
century the annual revenue Of the By
zantine empire amounted TO ei3O, 600, :
600. Yet at that time not only was the
eastern empire greatly impoverished by
the ravagcs Of the crusades, but the
chief part Of Asia Minor, with its -four
ishing cities, had been wrested from her
by the arms Of Islam. Today the revenue
Of the Ottoman empire is less than Els. :
600, 900. The silence Of desolation now
broods over vast regions which were
once thickly peopled. well cultivated,

joicing in an advanced civilization. Ter
ritories which formerly supported the
capitals Of ancient Eingdoms--Perga-
mos, Sardis, Cyzicus, Prusium, Troy,
Nlcomedia and many more--have been
reduced under Islam to cheerless soli-
tudes, broken at intervals by Kurds or
wandering Turcomans.
According to Ubicini, who spent 90
years in the civil administration Of the
porte, and wrote in defense of Turkey
40 years ago, the annual produce Of corn
in Asia Minor was then estimated at
25, 100000 Turkish kiles, which, he
thinks, might be easily increased tenfold
"if the great productiveness Of the soil
were turned to account. The same re-
mark, he adds, "applies to all other
productions which serve for local con-
sumption or for expectation. But in
stead Of increasing during the last 40
years there has been an accelerated de-
crease. The decay of every kind of man

nroonshino whisky.

Says revenue agent: There is q
great popular misunderstanding about
moonshine whisky. 1t is nothing but
raw highwine-the crudest kind Of
whisky-and most Of it is made right
in the big cities. You take barrel of
molasses, some yeast and still, such
as many people use for distilling water,
or even less than that, you can let the
vapor pass through glass pipe covered
with cold water, and you can make all
the moonshine you want. The foreign
ers in New York city make thousands
of gallons Of it for private use in this
way. All whisky is white as water
when first made. If kept in glass it re-
mains white for years, as you see in the
case of Irish and Scotch whisky. Put
into wood it Will in time darken, owing
to the rotting of the ellis. Moonshine is
usually white because not kept long
enough to darken, or, if kept, being
usually stored in bottles or jugs. -

A Swiss journal Celebrates the Nations

yariegated Immensity.
One Of tho most amusing descriptions
Of America is that which recently APP
peared in The Nachrichten, Basic,
Switzerland It runs as follows;
America is % country in comparison
70 which Europe is small peninsula.
The United States is an empire by
whose side the powers Of Europe appear
rs petty states. America is the land Of
nnmeasured capacity and dimensions,
the land Of dollars and electricity, tho
land where the plains are wider, the
rivers greater, the waterfalls higher
the bridges longer, the express trains
faster. the catastrophes more horrible,
than in all Europe; the country where
the buildings are taller, the rascals
more numerous, the poor poorer, the
millionaires richer, the thieves bolder,
the murderers less bothered and educat-
ed people more rare than anywhere else
1t is the land in which the teeth are
more false, the corsets tighter, disease
more dangerous, corruption more COM
mon, insanity more systematic, the SUM-
mer hotter, the winter more chilly, fire
warmer and ice colder. time more costly,
than in sleepy old Europe The land
where old men are younger and youths
older. the niggers blacker and the whites
yellower than elsewhere, the land of
unreasonable natural resources and of
the most prodigious avarice. In short,
America is the land of the greatest con-
trasts, the craziest presumption, the
most reckless hunt after the dollar. 1t
is the land Of everything colossal and
unapproachable--the last of course form

"To be frank with you, madam, do
not think it is, and for that reason |
would advise you to say nothing about
it, especially among neighbors. If the
people generally got to know that the
city was fayoring you by sending you
fresh fish for breakfast in your water

people coming in here to kick because
the city does not provide them with
fresh fish also. You can easily see that
the city cannot undertake to do that.

Du MAuRlER AT ANTWERP.
His Early Art Studies Interrupted by the
Failure of His Eyesight.

Failure of His EYesight~
Du Maurier was soon installed in the
painting class and made a vigorous
start. / particularly recollect lifesize,
full length painting Of an old woman
and a boy, pen and ink drawing Of
which is in my fathers album, thss
showed talent enough and to spare, but
his artistic aspirations were soon to
meet with serious check. His eye
sight began to give him trouble, and be-
fore long put stop to his studies in
atelier or academy He was not to be-
come a painter, as he had fondly hoped,
but, as we now know, was to work out
his destiny in another direction.
In those days we called all that carl
caturing, and caricature he certainly did,
mainly Of me and himself. From the
first he imagined he saw marked con-
trast between us. His nose was supposed
to be turned up and mine down. where
rs really neither his nor mine much de-
viates from the ordinary run Of noses
My lower lip certainly does project, but
his does not particularly recede. But
the imaginary contrast inspired him in
the earliest days of our acquaintance
and started him on the warpath Of pen
and ink. He drew us in all conceivable
and in some uncomfortable situations
'Moscheles and ], " he says ON one page,
'if we were artistically beautiful. "
Then again, "if we were Of tho fair
sex or soldiers or, by way Of showing our
versatility, if we were horses. In that
page he seems to have focused the es-
sence Of our characteristics while APP
pearing only to delineate our human
and equine possibilities Felix Mosh-

In form and feature, face and limb,
/ grew so like my brother
That folks got taking me for him
And each for one another.
1t puzzled all our liith and hin,
1t reached a fearful pitch,
For one of us was born twin,
And not a soul knew which.
One day, to make the matter worse,
Before our names were fixed,
AS we were being washed by nurse,
We got completely mixed,
And thus you see by fate's decree,
Or rather nurses within,
My brother jim got christened me
And / got christened him.
This fatal likeness ever logged
My footsteps when at school,
And was always getting logged,
For John turned ont fool.
/ put this question fruitlessly
To every one / knew.
What would you do If you were me
To prove that you were you?
Our close resemblance turned the tide
OF my domestic life,
For somehow my intended bride
Became my brothers. wife.
In fact, year after year the same
Absurd mistakes went on,
And when died the neighbors came
And buried brother John.

as large as England, and just as
large as the state of New York. 1t
lies from 4, 900 to 5, 010 feet above the
sea and is mostly level, with some low
ranges of hills. The surface is bare of
wood, except in few sheltered spots
along the streams, but is well covered
with heritage. The air = pure and brac-
ing, much like that of Colorado or Wyo-
ming. There are, happily, no billiards,
but violent thunderstorms are not un-
