Upon the suicide yof the Chinaman
in the Insane Asylum there was no
inquest. A police official investigat
ed and considered that the reasons
for death were obvious. The man
hanged himself with two pieces of lin
en-. Would there be no reason for in
quiry if the same official found a wom-
an with her head mashed in by fiat
iron? In that case also the reasons
for death would be obvious. In all
cases of sudden death The Star has
always maintained that there should
be inquiry, much more should there
be inquiry. when the death is by vio-
lence, whether self inflicted or not.
For the sake of the officials of the
asylum there should have been an in
quest They should, by the verdict of
the jury, be cleared of all blame. AS
the case now stands, this Chinaman
was known to be suffering from mel
ancholy. Such patients have a predis-
position to suicide. 1t might be ask
ed why We're not precautions taken
which would have prevented the deed
There is nothing official to prove that
they were taken.

Invasion of WASHINGTON.

"The last glimmer OF twilight was lad.
ing away when latter the battle of
Bladensburg, two miles distant from
Washington into the well.nigh deserted
city rode the redoubtable Cockburn at
the head of his band of marauders,"
writes Clifford Howard in the July
Ladies Home Journal, of the invasion
and burning OF our national capital by
the British forces under Admiral Cock
burn in August, 1914. "Elated at their
decisive victory over force nearly twice
as large as their own, and thirsting for
spoils. the relocated soldiers marched
triumphantly toward the capitol. Dis
charging their firearms at the windows
the soldiers burst in the doors and with
shout Of triumph carried their leader
to the speakers chair, from which, with
mock gravity, he put the question:
"Shall this harbor OF the Yankee democ-
racy be burned?" A yell of affirmation
rang through the hall and without fur
Their preliminaries papers and other
combustibles were piled under the desks
and set on fire. In a few minutes this
noble edi6ce, that had been in course of
construction more than twenty years,
and containing the library Of congress
and vast quantities of official documents
Of great historical value was destroyed.
Nov, thoroughly aroused to their
work of plumber. a bowling crowd of the
desperate marauders hurried to the
White House in the hope, perchance, Of
capturing the President and his wife.
Finding the house locked and deserted
they battered down the doors, and con-
soling themselves for the loss of their
distinguished captives by Ruthless de-
struction OF the furniture. they raided the
larder and RECALLED themselves with a
hastily prepared feast in the state dining
room. Then, destroying and mutilating
whatever they could readily lay their
hands on, they concluded their visit by
setting fire to the home OF the president.
Numerous other public and private
buildings were destroyed by fire."

The Worlds Largest Diamond.

The largest diamond of South Africa,
however, was not found at Kimberley.
but at Jagersfonte, in the Orange Free
state. This is said to be 1.-THE largest
and most valuable diamond in the
world" Its gross weight is 9691a carats,
the color is blue-white, and the quality
very fine. ats value cannot possibly be
estimated;" for it must be remembered
that the diamonds OF ordinary size have
recognized market value of from 81 to
$500 carat, according to fneness,
quality, color, etc., when the stone goes
above 100 carats its price is enormously
enhanced with each additional carat.
The length OF this literally priceless jewel
is about 21a inches, its greatest width
about two inches, the extreme girth in
width about 5as inches, and in length
about 6% inchss.
Two more places Of great interest we
must visit. One is the native compound,
where the workmen are kept for three
months at a time in voluntary prison,
not allowed to 60 out or in, or to com.

top OF the great compound Is covered
with wire netting, lest some workman

Alfred Tennyson on Eternal Punish
ment.

Lord Tennyson's life has now been
before the world for some weeks, and the
opinions expressed by compt tent judges
who were intimate friends of the poet
strangely vary. On three or four occa-
sions, both at Farringford and Alder
worth, had the honor of being Tenny-
sons guest, and the vivid impressions
left on my mind by his personality and
conversation made his biography in
tensely interesting. shall never forget
the incandescent honesty of Tennyson's
mind. One night he was speaking of the
future life, and on the uniairness OF sem
fencing man to permar ent pain for trans
tory errors. He seemed to have been
thinking and feeling deeply on the SUBJ
ject, for he suddenly struck the table
with his clenched hand, and cried, God
damn the God that created eternal pun
ishment." A few years afterwards at
tended his funeral in Westminster Abbey
and heard Crossing the Bar" sung by
the choir to hushed and saddened con-
gregation OF England's best and bright
est sons and daughters. The ring OF the
old mans voice came back to me in the
midst Of the scene, and could not fail to
recognize that the Engish.speaking PEG.
pie had indeed lost not only poet and
seer, but an honest and holy man. -

HOME DRESSMAKING.
HOW THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN
DRESS WELL AT SMALL COST.

No Need Of Looking Shabby Even Though
Times are Hard. Easy to Make Old Gowns
and Suits Look Like New When One Knows
How.
tits astonishing how much can be made
from seemingly useless garments by the
woman who knows how. The old faded
gown that is out of style can be readily
dyed with Diamond Dyes to a fashiona-
able color and then made over so that it
will look almost like new. Suits for the
boys can be made from old ones dis
carded by the father, and bath in Dia-
mond Dyes will make them look like new.
Dresses and cloaks for the little girls can
be made with but little trouble and
scarcely any expense, from cast off gar
ments of the older folks, and when the
color is changed with Diamond Dyes, the
made-overs will look as though they
were fresh from the dressmaker.
Diamond Dyes are made especially for
home use, and the plain directions on
each package make it impossible for
even the most inexperienced to have poor
luck with these dyes. They color any
thing, from ribbons, feathers, and scarfs
to heavy coats and gowns, and make
perfectly non-fading colors, even hand
somer than those made by the probes

wound, and there found three diamonds !
The Kaffir had actually cut out a flap of
skin, dug out the flesh of his leg and con-
cealed therein the diamonds, putting the
skin back in its place; but instead of
healing, the wound had festered, and so
discovered the living diamond mine.

A Humorous ParsOn.

Rev. Arthur st. Johns. the new rector
of Christ church, Navy Yard, has fund
of wit and humor vouchsafed to few men
who wear the cloth, says the Washing
ton Post. Like his father, the late Bishop
Johns, he is very much of man, and he
enjoys the recreations OF life as much as
a layman. He is fine shot and invari-
ably takes his annual vacation when the
quail are flying, and goes to North Caro-
lima to enjoy the sport. When he was in
charge of Christ church at Rockville, Md,
he owned a cow, and it was daily oc-
currence to see Mr.. Johns going. down
the main street of the village, swinging
his trusty milk pail, on his way to and
fro from milking that COW. He worked
in his garden, too, and still attended to
the spiritual needs of his flock with great
success, and power that received CRATE
full recognition everywhere.
One day couple of years ago former
parishioner OF Mr.. Johns in Rockville met
him on the street in this city and asked
him what he was doing in town.
i've been to see an oculst, The replied.
IAN oculist ?" repeated the other.

"Oh, yes" he replied seriously. eve
hurt them doing fancy work, such as
working in the turnip patch, milking
cows and the like"
In making some calls one afternoon Mr..
Johns visited the house of lady who
had interested herself in teaching some
tiny tots their catechism. Two of the
little girls happened to be there, and the
teacher proudly proceeded to put them
through their lessons for the minister.
A sweet little bundle of blue eyes and
tousled hair and four years was asked
who was the first man.
ADM" she replied promptly.
"Who made him "
DAVID" was the reverent response.
What did God make him out Off"
"The tlay of the earth"
The teacher triumphantly glanced at
Mr.. Johns and continued.
Who was the first woman?" she
queried.
Eve"
"And who made Eye?"
DAVID" again answered the child.
"And what was Eve made Off"
The baby pondered for few moments.
Her little eyelids dropped and her head
went lower. She was evidently strug-
Cling deeply. Then suddenly she bright
ened and looked up with confidence.
"a wibbon," she said with much ami
nation.
"See how femininity sticks out" re-
marked Mr.. Johns in a smiling aside to
the teacher. "The poor little thing evil
IDENTIFY thinks it was remnant day."
This bright saying was, OF course, re-
peated. and some of the ultra-pious peo-
pie raised their eyes and declared it was
outrageous Tor minister to say such a
thing.
