The Fetch Diamond.

The South African native. it seems, Is
not always decorated with the mere trump
cry of the traders wallet or of his own
purveyance. 1t has become an attested
fact that excellent diamonds, and dia
monds better than that, are possessed by
chiefs and boarded by them, not so much
in intelligence of their value as in q firm
fetichism. The stones have come to their
hands by the good old fashioned method
of stealing them from the Kimberley mines
years ago, before the present minute watch
against gem thieving was systematized.
Diamond stealing at present is practically
impossible under the peculiar methods OF
its prevention. Before the rigid examina-
tions of workmen and visitors began to be
enforced, native laborers often were under
a secret compact with their tribal rulers
not to come back from the mines without
q good sized stolen diamond for the chief s
use. Hence great many superb gems are
in the dark unfathomed caves of kaffir
headman's establishment.
Within few years enterprising traders
have made special expeditions and palavers
for diamonds so hidden, with the result OF
successful bartering for them. Liquor and
guns have been found useful. In some
instances the superstition of the chiefs
stood in the way of traders recovering
valuable stones; but, on the other hand, a
small company working on this line of ac-
QUESTION is credited with having obtained
within four months not less than 5000, 900
worth of diamonds. One agent succeeded
In buying of chief six stones of more
than 200 karats each.-Harper's Weekly.

DOCTORS IN CHINESE STORES.
The Fine Old Methods of the Celestia
Empire Applied Here.

The Fine Old Methods of the Celestial
Empire Applied Here.
Nearly every Chinese mercantile store in
this country has attached to 1t a Chinese
doctor and a pharmaceutical department.
In China every one chooses his own occu-
patton, and any person may assume the
title of physician without having given
previous evidence of his professional COM
potency. There are no medical colleges,
and no examination tests exist to worry
the minds of tho future practitioners. And
neither are diplomas asked for or granted.
This unlimited liberty of selecting an
occupation has resulted in making the Chi
nese medical profession very large, and
when the Chinese start a business q Chi
nese doctor is always included as one Of
the partners, and he acts as physician and
apothecary for the firm. In China Chinese
apothecaries, before they can carry on
their business, must pass an examination
and must exhibit diploma from the ex-
animation board. Medical study consists
in mechanically learning the old Chinese
medical works, and, when possible, the
inherited knowledge of remedies all in ac-
cordance with tho Chinese maxim, 1.-THE
older the better"
When physician has been unsuccessful,
he retires with the common Chinese adage
that There is medicine for sickness, but
none for fate" Sometimes an invalid will
go to doctor and ask for how much he
will cure him and how soon the cure can
be performed He states the diagnosis of
his case, the pulse is examined and every
other symptom investigated, when bar
gain is struck and a portion of the price
paid. The patient then receives the suit
able medicines in quantity and variety bet
ter fitted for a horse than a man, for the
doctor reasons that out of a great number
1t is more likely that some will prove eff
cacious, and the more he gets paid for the
more he ought to administer. A decoc-
ton of a kettleful of simples is drunk by
the sick man, and he gives up both work
ing and eating. If, however, at the expi-
ration of the time specified he is not cured,
he scolds his physician for an ignorant
charlatan who cheats him out of his money
and seeks another, with whom he makes
a similar bargain, and with probably sim
liar results. The visits and examinations
are very reasonable in price, varying in
amount from 10 cents to 81. The fee is
wrapped up in red paper and is called
golden thanks.-New York Sun.

Another Worm.

An inspector was recently examining
class of girls in natural history.
Tell me the names of any animals
you know" he began, but the faces Of
the children expressed bewilderment al
the request. AT length, however, a lit.
tie girl at the back of the class shot w
her hand as though a bright idea had
suddenly struck her.
"Ah," said the inspector, "the small.
est girl in the class knows! Well, my
dear, what is it?''
GA worm," came the triumphant
answer.
"Well-er-yes a worm is really an
animal, but can no one think of any
other?'
Again profound silence reigned.
IF were one of you big girls" the
inspector remarked after q pause, on
seeing the same hand held up, 81 should
be ashamed of myself.
Then turning to the little scholar as a

The Lives of Mountain Women.

The lives of mountain women are mar
rowed to pitiful compass of toll and do
nestle sacrifice, says writer In The
Chautauquan. They are often very pretty
in extreme youth, with q gentleness of ex-
preston and an inherent dignity wholly
inexplicable except on the grounds Of an
cestral reflection, for 1t Is certain that
some of them have an infusion OF good
old blood Their outdoor life gives them
peculiar softness and brilliance OF color
ing which, with the subtle charms OF
youth, lends beauty to even the plainest
face. But unfortunately hard work soon
does away with any beauty they may pos
sess, and they age long before their years
would warrant.
They marry very young, and then the
real hardships of life begin, for until that
time their mothers shield them from the
heaviest burdens When moonshiner
marries, he takes his bride home to his fla
theirs house, while he puts up shack
near by, with perhaps two rooms, and
they begin to work the ground around IL.
The little bride follows the pillow with her
hoe all through the long hot spring and
summer, with cheerful patience and resig-
nation. Even when the children come she
does not shirk the work, but takes Thorn
with her, and the first little toddier Is
taught to watch over the helpless infant
lying In the shadow Of widespreading
tree at the edge of the clearing.
So the years pass In unremitting toll
until tho children are big enough to take
her place, and all her efforts have brought

Tender Hearted Children.

William and Mary lived in town and
did not know a great deal about the
fowls and animals that are so common
in the country, but they were both very
fond of pets and would make personal
friend of every animal they met.
Their mother did not like to buy
dressed fowls in the market, preferrine
to have a live turkey or chicken sent
home a week or more before killing it,
30 that it might be fattened under her
own directions. This was all very well
in certain ways, for Willie and Mary
were very fond of feeding the fowls,
but when the day of slaughter came ii
was not so we'll. for bowls of protest
would 60 up from both children, until
it was found to be impossible to kill a
fowl that they had fed, and their moth
er had to abandon her lifelong practice
of buying live birds.

Joy In MI. Bflltops Heart Over Two Lit
tie Time Honored Jokes.
"How many, many times has it been
said that we live our lives over again In
our children" said Mr.. Billtops, land
how true 1t is, and how grateful we should
be that it Is so, as indeed we are! Now,
here's my youngest boy comes In from
school and asks me, with a smile on his
face:
"Pop, did you ever see horse fly?'
"a fine joke 1t seems to him, and can
truly say that it never sounded so fine to
me as it does now from his lips. Renew
our youth In our childrena We renew II
with interest; we enjoy their youth, and
we enjoy it with the far keener apprecia-
ton of our maturer years. There may be
only one youth. There is only one age OF

other, Did you ever sec board walk?
And this seems funny to him, too, and sc
IL does to me Like the other, it seems
funnier now than ever.
Later still he propounds another, which
does not move me as the others had done
because ii is new to me. And that makes
me wonder whether my enjoyment of the
old jokes is not, after all, a selfish enjoy
ment in the renewal of my own youth
rather than delight in my children's en-
joyment, for this last joke, which lacks
interest and flavor for me, interests him
as much as the others did:

joke is comparatively modern, but the

with ever growing charm.
