Dear Friends:
In reading letters from housekeepers in
various home journals one cannot fail to
notice the many different methods sug
gested for doing homework. each writer

which everyone can be helped.
There are various neig nborhood ambi-
tons and rivalries which are amusing to
lookers-on though, no doubt, of serious
importance TO the participants; but these
riyairies and ambitions are not without
their benefits. Some housewives take
pride in getting their weekly wash hung

hood others boast a "longer string OF

THE diamond mine is the crater of
an extinct volcano. What is now
level country or plain was once vol
cano. Cropping out on the surface
appeared a blue rock which was found
to contain diamonds. The mouth of
the crater is 312 feet below the sur
face. They dug 800 feet lower, SO
that the mine is now 312 feet deep.
The rock is elevated to the surface by
means Of powerful machinery, and
then conveyed to the khoors' or level
ground. Here it is left TO the action
of the sun, rain and winds, when it
decomposes and falls apart. 1t is then
taken TO the crushing and washing
machines and afterwards to the
pulsators, which separate it into vari-
Gus sizes and again wash it. 1t finally
passes over shaking tables covered
with grease of Il certain composition,
which catches and retains the dia
monds. These are then washed in

the product of the mines and disposes
of them in the markets of the world"
During the continuance of the war
with the Beers Rhodes has been be-
sieged in Kimberley. From reports
that have reached the outside world il
would seem that he has taken his con-
finement quite cheerfully, and has de-
voted his time to the Improvement of
the city. Beautiful driyeways have
been laid out and planted with shade
trees in honor of the brave defense
being made by the little English gar
rison. and it is safe TO say that the
Diamond King will reward with lib
eral hand the men behind the guns as
well as their officers during the try
ing days of the siege, and Kimberley
diamonds will pay ior these rewards.

childs and of Rhodes has been amply
demonstrated in the years that the
monopoly has existed.
The De Beers company is to-day one
of the wealthiest and best paying
properties in the world. Its profits
are said TO be larger than those of any
other concern on earth, with the sin
gle exception of the company owning
the Suez canal and few small con-
Germs of which the world seldom
hears.
The American consul general for
South Africa. stationed at Cape Town,
paid a, visit TO Kimberley just a short
time before the breaking out of hos
tilities between the English and the
Beers. OF these vast mines he says:
Some Slight idea of the immensely
of the De Beers company may be
gained srom the statement that it &C.
cupies 10000 acres of land, but even
that item can convey but a small idea.
The company employs $4,000 natives
and $4,000 whites; consumes each
month in the compounds in which the
employees are confined from the time
they enter the company's service UNI
Ill they leave it, or at least for the
time of their contract with the COM
pany, $4,000 pounds of mutton and
100000 pounds of beef. The company
turns out 100000 carats of diamonds
each month; uses 6,000 tons of coal a
day, has 1000 horses and mules. 10000
stations of the best breeds and 200
brood mares.
THE shops connected with the
mines for the repair of machinery
are the equal in size of some of the
immense harvester works of America
1T operates an ice plant from which
the town of Kimberley is supplied
with ice and cold storage. and three
more such plants are now being built
for the company by American firms
a dynamite plant is also being built
in America TO be set up by the com
pany in Kimberley There are l5C
miles of narrowgauge railroad in and

No corporation in the world does
more for its employees than the De
Beers company. Among other things

would probably be impossible for
Rhodes TO give even a reasonable esti-
mate of his wealth, and it is Kimber-
ley diamonds that have made him the
man of wealth that he is. He has
money invested in many African
schemes, in railroads. in telegraphs,
in colonies, in every big scheme which
South Africa has produced in the
time IN which Rhodes has been num-
bered among its inhabitants, but all
of these have merely afforded him the
means of spending a part of his enor-
nous income from the Kimberley
mines.
1t is related of Rhodes that when
the reaction came after the boom at
Kimberley he bought all the shares
and property thai his then limited
capital would permit. Then he con-
ceived the idea of forming a great
corporation that would control the
price of diamonds by limiting the out
put. To carry out such an ambitious
scheme he needed funds and without
the least hesitation he sought the
Rothschilds, laid his plans before
them, told them the vast amount he
needed to carry out the project and
demanded an immediate answer to his
proposal. The great fnanciers were
so impressed with the then young
man that they advanced the money

Rhodes was made the managing di-
rector for life with a salary of $150,000

Alono Is the basis and standard Of our
monetary system.
In the face Of an expanding commerce
there lie not single effective means sug-
gested for expanding the volume OF money
In proportion to the expansion OF trades,
while the administration is inauguratins
policy of territorial expansion which
will not only Increase the Nations ex-
penses and add to the demand for the doll
lar. but necessitate our taking over and
replacing the monetary systems now IN
existence in the new territories, tho re-
forms" contemplated look rather to
contraction than an enlargement OF the
volume OF our circulating medium! And
this is the sum total OF that superior nm
ancial wisdom which the republican party
and the nnanciers who are back OF 1t have
been arrogating to themselves since the
democracy declared for the restoration OF
silver and broader monetary system!
That this proposed legislation is but
temporary makeshift for political pur-
poses and will not through any present
action of congress SETTLE" the financial
issue between the two great parties, is
apparent to all intelligent people. There
is no sacredness about congressional
declaration that the gold standard is the
only standard that will be recognized by
our government or permitted to the peo-
pie. Such pronounciap,ento by congress
will be effective only until another con-
gress. not owned by the gold syndicate
and advocates OF the dear dollar. comes
along and repudiates 1t by repeating the
act in which it is Incorporated!
Under such circumstances, therefore,
the present solicitude of the republican
leaders to see early currency legislation
by congress is but an amusing evidence OF
their eleventh hour conviction that they
must do something before the next
campaign to deceive the innocent and
trustfulI masses OF their party who be-
lieved in their last campaign promises to
reform" the finances and maintain the
financial honor" of the Nation!
II is simply an elaborate political bunco
game which is to be played where the
temporary enjoyment Of the fruits of de-
ception is to go exclusively to the money
spectators and National banking inter-
psts
