1t is hardly too much to say that
Mr.. Rhodes has made his fortune in
diamonds. Diamonds had been dis
covered in South Africa few years
before he got there. Finally he. too,
caught the fever, and it was not long
before he had staked oil he had in a
few claims. These be shared with his
brother, Herbert, who later relin-
quished his share and went to the
north, where he met his death while
hunting elephants. Cecil plodded
away in the diamond fields, where he
superintended his gang of Kaffirs. He
was successful in his ventures, and it
was not long before he found himself
the possessor of some $5,000,000.
He was elected to the Cape Parlia-
ment, and by his political adroitness
was made Prime Minister in 1890. He
sought and won riches, but it is un-
fair to assume that he has done so
solely for his own aggrandizement
With the advancement of his personal
fortune he has also striven to reali re
an early dream of bringing Africa un-
der British dominion.
''That's my dream-all English, "
he said, many years ago, moving his
hand over map of Africa up to the
Zambesi. Coupled with the acquisi-
ton of wealth, he has labored toward
that end.
One of the results was the Matabele

war and the defeat and death of King
Lobengula. The Jameson raid across
the Transvaal border was probably
due to the influence of Cecil Rhodes,
for he has never denied completely
with it, and as its result he resigned
in 1896 as Prime Minister of Cape
Colony.
Kimberley is the diamond region of
the world, far surprising those of
Brazil in richness. Kimberly is not
a city in the modern use of the word.
1t is great camp in which mems pas
sions rise and fall as the treasures of
the earth are uncovered or not found,
The camp is in what is called the Vaal
Basin, the wash ground of the river
which divides the Transvaal from the
Orange Free State. The first diamond
discoveries there were made about
1870, but it was ten years later when
Englishmen and others realized that
the spot was the most valuable of it's
kind in the world.
By 1881 the mines which had been
opened had yielded gems to the value
of $40, 100000. By 1887 seven tons OF
diamonds had been taken out valued
at $250,O00,000. This record placed
the Brazil diamond mines in the
shade and made Kimberly world
wide in its fame. The Cecil Rhodes
syndicate, known as the De Beers,
came into control of all the mines after
much negotiation. This syndicate is
capitalized for $4,000, 600 and pays
interest at the rate of 81 per cent. per
annum and an annual dividend of 20
per cent. Since Cecil Rhodes came
into control of the mines they have
given out $500, 900 karats Of diamonds.
To get at these it has been necessary
to wash 100000 loads of the blue
earth in which they are found.
In the working of these diamond

Rabbits as Pets,

When about to keep rabbits yon
must not think that any old box will
do for hutch, for boxes that are
badly put together, or made of thin
boards, will not do at all. First as to
size. Buy nice sound box not less
than two feet square, and it might be
even larger with advantage-in fact.
it must be larger if required for
breeding purposes.
The drainage of the box must be at
tended to. Place it on a stage, slightly
sloping from the front; and at the back
of the box make number of small
holes. Each hutch should have two
compartments, one of which should be
open at the front with wire, and there
should be two wide doors. Let
hutches be at least foot from the
ground, and do not place one above
another. Let them also be where
sunshine can reach them Give an
abundance of clean, dry bedding.
AS it is meet ssary to keep your pets
warm and dry, you ould have a
good thick covering to put over the
wire front of the hutch in winter and
wet weather, but be careful not to ex-
clude the air entirely.
Regularity in feeding is very i'm.
portant, both as to hours and to the
quantity of food given. You must
have q fixed feeding time; then you
will be less likely to forget the help
less creatures dependent on you. The
morning meal should never be given
later than O'Clock; never feed them
at noon as that is the time for rest
and sleep; the second meal should be
given about sunset, and this is the
principal meal, as rabbits eat with the
greatest appetite during the night.
You may give them turnips and other
root vegetables, oats, peas, beans,
pollard, meat, bran and acorns. Then
in green food they will eat almost
anything, but the best to give are cab
bage, lettuce, spinach, clover, milk
thistle and dandelion leaves. Apples
and pears, OF the peel of these, they
are very fond of. Fresh green grass
is very good for them, also carrot aud
turnip tops and potato parings. Dc
not give wet green food, after heavy
rain the green vegetables should be
we'll shaken OF dried; they must never
be fed entirely on bran or corn. AZ
rule, rabbits do not require as much
drink as many animals, but water
should be kept within their reach,
especially when there is Il scarcity OF
green food
You should often give your rabbits
the pleasure of a scamper Exercise
is very beneficial to them, and also
great delight, keeping them in
healthy aud happy condition. they
are allowed to run on an open piece
of grass they must be watched, lost
they should stray; but sthey seldom
run off, and are easily caught again if
gently approached. Do not let them
run on grass that is wet with dew or
1ain; the main point is to give thom
exercise; therefore, yard, or any en-
closed space, will answ or the purpose,
and an hours run twice i'll the week
will do them II world of good.
In lifting your rabbits TO and from
the hutch, grasp both ears firmly with
one hand, and with the other support

mines there are employed about 1900
white men and 5000 natives. The
greater proportion of these men are en-
ployed in the De Beers and Kimberley
mines, the two biggest holes which
greedy man has ever dug into the
earth. The De Beers mine has an
area at the surface of thirteen acres
and depth of 450 feet. The mines

upon potsherd the picture OF man
and woman.
Pleased was his tribe with that image

Handled it, smelt it and grunted: verify,
this is a man.
A few months ago, when excavations
were being made in little unexplored
part of Egypt, one of the relic hunters
came upon this potsherd. Little was
thought of the find at the time. but
the finder, an archeologist of Berlin,
was showing it the other day, along
with his other Egyptian relics, to
German savant, who at once became
interested in it. The savant begged
to be allowed to take the potsherd home
and study it more closely. His request
being granted, he did so, and now he
has given his opinion that the draw
ings on the potsherd are the oldest
representations of mankind in exist
ence. He believes that they are at
least 800 years older than anything of
the kind discovered before. The
Egyptologist who owns this relic calls
the pictures "The First Man and
Woman"
A reproduction of the pictures is
given here. 1t will be noticed that
the man wears 'goatee" and that the
woman in the case has a prominent
nose. They were evidently people of
standing in their day and generation,
leaders of society, or king and queen,
perhaps, when they sat for their por-
traits to the Egyptian Ung.

Johnson had already served two terms
in the State prison for theft, and the
statutes provide that the penalty upon
third conviction must be imprison-
