 The horse is a short-iived animal, but when carefully kept and allowed to spend a great deal of it's time in pas ture, it has been known to live past the age of 40 years. The trouble with horses is that they are fed, for hard work, consequently their feet and their digestion wear out. Eighteen to "A years is a very high average ege for horses to attain.
 Cows live eighteen or twenty years. but they have very little value toward the latter portion of this period, save in exceptional cases.

Johannesburg. Barnato offered to put them up to auction on the open veldt. It was looked upon as an excellent bit of fooling, and both companies turned out to enjoy it. Barnato conducted the sale in monologue, making the whole thing more ridiculous by appealing to the company to let him get word in edgeways. Then he immediately knocked the lots down to himself at a high figure. To the astonishment of the gathering, at the end of the sale. he handed Brough the amount at which he had bought the things, and then gave them to the other company.
 In 1895 he commenced to build great mansion in the most aristecratic thor oughfare in London. He seems to have regarded it with superstitious dread, for passing by one day with a friend, he remarked: Yes, there it is, but I don't think 1 shall ever live in it. A sadly prophetic utterance, which in a moment of alteration Bar nato put beyond all doubt.
 It was work that killed the million aire, not worry as to the future. He said he had none. But he could not find time to get through all his work, and he could not bear to the end to let one detail slip from his grasp; he must know all that was going on. His health broke down under the strain. Why don't you give up now, Barney; what are an extra five millions to you?" friend said to him when the first signs of ill health showed themselves. But to give up his active life was like be- ing buried alive, besides as he said, when his boys were grown up ana he was no more, he would have them to point to his photo and say: "Ah, that dad of ours, he was a clever little chap, he was"

 taking with him as stock in trade e100, a stout heart, fixed determina- ton to make money and a keen trading instinct, this latter. being by far his most valuable asset. He carried also in his pocket a=mark of affectiOnate re- spect from a few friends who on the eve of his departure from London pre- sented him with a watch, which, years afterward, when many times million aire. he still preserved in perfect going order.
 Many. a time he must have looked at that parting gift as he tramped alongside he OK wagons from Cape Town to Kimberley, and on many a night, as he slept under those same wagons, he must have struck. a light to See how the time was going. Doubt less the good wishes of which the tick, tick reminded him cheered Barnett -Isaacs over many a weary: mile. Not that he was the sort to despair or be upset by every little difficulty His plan in life was never to turn back when he had once made a start. He was very superstitiOus about this. If on leaving his house he found he had left import ant papers behind it made no differ ence; he would send for them, not fetch them himself. In the streets or elsewhere, the same notion chung to him, unless, indeed, he had unwittingly passed a blind man. In that case, the rule did not hold good, and Barney : would retrace his steps to give away an odd siXpence.

down into the blue rock. When experts said There are no diamonds" Barney said There are," and went on buying and digging. In a very short time his investment of e3000 was bringing in &1S00 week.
 In 1881 he launched his first venture the Barnato Diamond Mining Com pany-with a capital of e115,000. This was but a step in the amalgamationl of all the interests in the mine. Barnato plainly saw what a saving could be eff fected if all the claims were worked as one whole, and for this end he strove with might and main. He gave the unheard of sum of e30,0OO claim to one man, but the price brought him not only the claims, but great notorie- ty and public confidence. He was nick named in the district a Diamond King"-a name also shared by Cecil Rhodes of the De Beers mine-and the time was drawing near when these two men, after being at cross purposes with one another, were 10 unite their forces and control the diamond output of the world.
 In the early days of development, when uncertainty as to the future of the Rand existed, Barnato never lost faith. Wait, have confidence as I have" was his advice. So in time of depression he steadied the pulse of the disheartened, buoyed up the weak and held on his way. All his most rosy ex- pectations. turned out to be correct, and the gold output from the Rand rose million after million as the few short years passed by.
 Barnato's success did not change his good nature. He was blithe, merry, good humored, witty and bright to the end Among his peculiaritfes was that of seldom carrying money about with him. Many a time he would turn around to his friends and say: "Oh. lend me shillings." "No, Barney, cer- tainly not" one and all would reply. Five pounds, with pleasure, if you like"
 His three forms of recreation were boxing, horse-racing and theatricals. His great love for acting brought him into close sympathy with the profes- sion. On one occasion while he was driving from Johannesburg he fell in with two travelling companies, each going in opposite directions. One was under Lionel Brough's management. Brough had with him certain props and scenery which he could not sell at
