DEPOSIT OF DIAMONDS.

Valuable Gems Found Associated
with Tin Ore In Australia,
An interesting occurrence of tin ore
and diamonds, which is believed to be
unique, is described in the recently is
sued report of the department of mines
and agriculture of New South Wales for
1896. Gravel containing casseterite in
worka bic quantities, together with dia-
monds, was discovered last year at
Boggy camp, Is miles west of Tingha.
which has been for some time a pro-
ductive tin field.
The pay streak at Boggy camp, which
is from 80 to 50 feet deep. averages from
two to seven feet In thickness, the
width OF the lead not yet having been
ascertained. One load of gravel yielded
SIS stones of 1874 karats aggregate
weight and AZ loads furnished COO kar-
at: of diamonds and tinstone at the rate
of 13 pounds per load. The pay streak
is a quartz pebble drift underlying a
large hill of basalt. Z. F. Pitman, the
government geologist who examined
the occurrence, considers that the
basalt filed what was originally au
oval-shaped depression.
The gravel rests on granite. and gran
ite can be traced entirely around the
basalt. The diamonds are white and OF
good quality, and it is thought that
when the gravel is drained the district
will make a considerable production.

TWO BROTHERS,

4 TOSehSaG 1nstance Of True Droth.
eFly Love.
Hera Is the story of two brothers
who stuck to one another through life,
and In death were not divided, says Les
lies Weekly. They were past 60 years
Of age. and, being reported i'll and des-
situte In the old house where they
lived alone, were removed to Bellevue
hospital. Each. though helpless, was
anxious to take care of the other.
When asked it they had any friends,
both gave the same reply: "The best
friend have In the world is my brother
here"
On their cots side by side they lay
dying. yet neither appeared to have any
thought OF his own suffering. but asked
continually that something be done for
his brother. The elder one died first,
saying: "Good-by, John, dear. God
bless you!" Less than four hours after
this farewell John breathed his last.
The next day-it was the day after
Christmas-the two brother lay side
by side in the morgue, where an aged
woman, who had been their friend,
came and identified the bodies, promis-
ing to notify relatives who would see
that they were buried together.
Such il a real incident from the great
epic of daily life 10 the metropolis, and
it points it's moral better than some
fiction,

Wha.ers, and especially the man with

characters, and, indeed, the peri,s and
exploits OF their trade form not the
least stirring chapter in the romance
If commerce, says the London Graphic.
II Will. therefore, touch most of us with
some slight sense OF loss to learn-as a
correspondent OF the Pal! Mall Gazette
assures us-that, as far as the arctic
seas are concerned, that chapter is
closed. This il prosaic age, and the
results Of that famous corporation Of
whalers. the Dundee Arctic Fisheries
company, limited. for the last two years
have, 1t is said, not only notsatisfied the
shareholders, but have resulted in q
heavy loss. The right whale, which
provides the famous bone, has become

tribes that. as objects of profit, they
have almost ceased to be worth the

NO PATRIOTISM IN CHINA.

This Was Made Manifest In the War
with Japan.
As for the patriotism of the Chinese,
If 1t ever existed, it is unquestiomably
thing of the past, says the Illustrated
American. AT the time of the war
with Japan, China had two squadrons.

headquarters at Port Arthur and Wei
Hai-Wei, and the southern squadron,
composed of fine Armstrong cruisers.
of gunboats and torpedo boats. AS il
was clear that the Japanese would
carry the war into Manchuria and to-
ward the Gulf of Petchili, the southern
squadron was ordered to proceed north

fleet. Far from obeying, the CON-
manding admiral and his officers de-
cided that, being great deal safer in
the south, they would quietly remain
there. and so up river, the entrance

THE LANGUAGE OF EDEN.

Gaelic.
The Scottish Highlanders have al
ways been firmly convinced that Adam
and Eve used "ta Gaelic;" and it il
gratifying to find that philologists, as
they grow wiser, are coming round to
the same opinion, says the Scottish
AmRrican. It Is true that they have
made no express admission to this ef-
feet ~ yet, but there is evidence that
We are on the eve of an acknowledge
meat that Gaelic was the original lam
euage Of the human race.
The latest deliverance on the subject,
It It does not altogether silence these
skepties and scoffers who derided this
article Of Highland faith, ought to at
least make them give pause. DR.. Lett
ner, distinguished German orientalist
and ph!lologist, has declared Gaelic to
be contemporary or derivative of the
Prakit, closely allied to the spoken lam
guaee and out of which Sanscrit be-
came q written language" He even
goes so far as to assert that there seem
to be In the Gaelic certain survivals
Of prehistoric language"
Clearly this point in the direction of
the Highland contention, and the pres
cnt acknowledgment, therefore, al
though sardy, and not, perhaps, quite
10 full as might be desired, will no
doubt be welcome.
But Gaelic has another distinction.
II Is, as even the Sassenach knows, the
language to swear in. The distinction,
however, is that one does not quite har-
montze with the theory of its Para
origin.

THE STiNolEST MAN.

"Yes, he was . mean man." said 4
visitor to q St. Louis host the other

"How? Tell me about it, questioned
the host.
'Well, this man I speak of was the
champion stingy man of our country.
He kept a good-sized wooden ring in his
pocket, and when he went to the store
to buy eggs he would try every one Of
those eggs in the ring. If they were

would not take them. He bought moth

II WAS ABOUT A DOG.

An Apparently Earnest Argument
WITH . COAtiAuoas Beginning.
The man who was waiting for train
and had nothing to do with an hour
walked down the avenue to see what he
could see, says the New York Sun. On
corner stood four young men engaged
In apparently earnest argument. The
tall, slender one in light coat waggled
long forefinger at the others col
lectively, and said:
Nov, you take a dawg-"
'Do' wan no dog" put in one of the
others.
"Wha' kim dog?" asked another.
The tall one Strengthened up, wabbled
. bit, and returned to the argument.
"You take dawg," he said.
"Whoxh dog?" asked one of the other
three.
The man waiting for train walked
on out of hearing. He made several
blocks down .--e avenue and then turned
back. The four young men still stood
on the corner, and as he came near he
heard the tall one say:
"Now, you take dwag."
"Yellow dog?" asked one of the
others.
"Whad take dog for?" asked an
other.
The man walked on quickly, and as he
passed out of sound the last he heard
was:
"You take dwag."
Perhaps by now the argument has
reached specifications.

Fence TO Rescue Their Calves
The editor of the Condor (Ore.) Globe
saw deed of va.or Lately that was
worth recording as we'll as seeing. "A
herd of cattle, among them two cows
accompanied by their calves, were graz
ing in tall, dead grass when the calves
became separated little way from the
rest of the cattle, and some wolves
started in pursuit of them. After run
ming about 200 yards the calves came to
a high, five-wired, barbed-wire fence,
and, being small, managed to get
through it. On the other side Of the
fence was an open pasture.
The wolves quickly followed the
calves through the fence. and were rap
idly running them down on the other
side, when the two COW mothers discov-
cred what was going on. Each uttered
loud below, hoisted her tail and
started for the rescue.
1t appeared to be a hopeless chase, for
the fence intcrvened. and the cows were
certainly much too large to get through
it. They knew well enough that il was
there, and could, beside, see il plainly;
but both cows plunged straight into il.
The watching editor, Mortified, looked
to see :hem hurled back, frightful!y
wounded, but, instead. one of the posts
gave way under the onslaught, the
wires sank down, and in another mo-
ment the mothers were on the pasture
side of the fence, badly cut and bleed
ing, but still able to charge the wolves
successfully and put them to flight.
Soon the cows were licking the res
cued calves affectionately. and the CO.
votes were how.ing disappointed due,
from the summit of kno., near by.

HIS DEATH FoRETolp.


New Choag Expires at the Hear Ne

An astounding case of fatalism has
just come under the attention Of the
British Columbia medical practitioners,
who find in science no explanation and
but few precedents for the extraordi-
nary occurrence, reports the St. Lo..s

he said, he received a supernatural COM
munication informing him that he
would die at six p. m. the 18th day Of
Shap Yee, the 11th Of January. Before
the fateful day arrived he closed up his
business, distributed bequests and on
the day set for his death was banqueted
By some 20 intimate friends at his resi-
dence here.
The feast was in progress when he
quietly left the board and retired to his
couch. Just as the clock struck six
he died, without = word or struggle.
Much against the wishes Of his rela-
tives. an autopsy was ordered. which.
however, failed to disclose any cause Of
death. Now the authorities are in .
