bountiful harvests of field products,
and it will not be long, with the new
and admirable railway facilities now
enjoyed, before the Lewiston valley
will become conspicuous as one Of the
best places on earth for the industri-
Gus farmer to establish a home.
For the past two years the resources
Of the valley have been taxed to meet
the ever growing demand of local and
foreign markets, which is now augu-
mented by the demand from the
orient. The speedy settlement and
enlarged cultivation of the valley that
is sure to follow the completion Of the
Northern Pacific Ry. will give it a
prominent epart in supplying the
worlds demand for fruits and bread
stuffs.
A little to the southeast and reach
ed by way of Lewiston, lies the rich
Nez Perez reservation which was re-
Gently opened to settlement, with its
thousands of acres of fine farming
lands waiting for the Industrious far
mer to cultivate them and convert
them into profitable farms or fruit
ranches.
The city Of Lewiston, population
1000, even without railway facilities
has long been regarded as most de-
lightful spot for residence and now
must surely become the objective
point of many tourist and home
seeker.

DIAMONDS IN AMERICA.
Half a Billion Dollars Worth Owned
Here-Amount Rapidly Increasing.


Here-AmOunt Rapidly Increasing.
In no country are there more dia-
monds TO be found than in the United
States, according to the population. 1t
is estimated by leading Maiden lane
New York; diamond dealer that there
are upward of $500, 600, 600 worth of
diamonds in this country. Moreover,
this vast amount is increasing year by
year.
Until quite recently diamonds were
rarely cut in this country, but Amer
lean inventors have developed process
for diamond cutting which is vastly su-
perior TO that done abroad.
The loss in weight through cutting is
sometimes fully one half, but the value
is increased probably more than two
fold.
The Dutch city of Amsterdam has
been the great diamond cutting center of
the world from time immeporial and
up TO few years ago over II, 900 peo.
pie in that place were directly or indi-
rectly dependent upon this trade.
But it was not reasonable to suppose
that Amsterdam should continue to hold
monopoly of diamond cutting. As one
Of the greatest importing cities of the
world, New York gradually offered in
duoements TO diamond cutters, aud an
industry has been gradually built up
here that is now very f1ourishing and
profitable. In 1858 Henry D. Morse Of
Boston invented machine for cutting
and polishing diamonds, and since then
improvements have been made upon it
that are very important. The foreigners
continue to polish their stones by hand,
but in this country machinery is large
ly used.
A famous gem expert places the total
value of all the diamonds in the world
at over 81, 900, 900, 900, of which $780,
900, 900 worth are in the hands of deal
ers, carried as stock. All of the other
diamonds are in the hands of private in
dividuals, and the question naturally
arises, who owns them? This is not so
easily answered, except in the case Of
large and world famous gems-Godey's s
Magazine.

"Reminiscences of the Author of 'eHome,
Sweet Home"
The old Christian cemetery at Tunis
is one Of the strangest sights in that
strange town. Just off busy thorough
fare, under an ancient archway, is a
heavy wooden gate, much worn by the
lapse of time, thickly studded with fan
tastic nails and provided with prodi-
gious knocker. The latter, however, is
not needed, for the gate yields TO an
energetic push, and you find yourself in
large, walled inclosure, half garden,
half graveyard, where an Italian wom-
an is hanging out clothes among the
gaunt white tombs 1t is IL years since
any one was buried here, and the place
is beginning to look neglected. The
modern cemetery is now outside the
walls, and its guardian told me that
many people came to him TO inquire for
the monument of "an American poet"
or 'an American consul" and he had
to send them TO the old graveyard. The
monument III question is that of the
author of Home. Sweet Home" and
it bears the following inscription upon
it's sides:

author of Home, Sweet Home. Born
