DIAMONDS OF HISTORY.

some facts about the diamonds of his
tory: I,
The largest diamond ever known is said
to have come from Brazil. where It was
found in 1141. Its weight Is given as /. $50
carats. or II ounces. 1t was sent to the
court of Portugal, and became known as
the Braganza diamond. 1t was never
cut. 1t was valued by Romeo de PIsle, at
$1,12O.O00, while others valued at So
SOC. 900, and sail others at II. 700, 900. FL
nally it's value was set at 80, 90, 900, as
it was not a brilliant stone. The weight
of the k~Oh-i-noOr was nearly 500 carats
when taken from the mines of Golconda.
According to the scale employed in the
trade of diamonds $40. 900, 900 would have
been it's market price. 1t was reduced
to 279 carats by Hortensio Borghese, and
it had to be cut again to 1921 carats.
Diamonds We're first brought to the
Romans from Ethiopia. The art of pol
ishing them was. of course, unknown.
and they were valued then for their sup

A CIRCULAR ON SUICIDE.

1t appears that the Bohemian Brother
hood of American recently issued a circu-
lar stating in effect that one out of every
400 members of the Bohemian Slavonic
Brotherly Union of American commits
suicide. The latter organization, re-
puted to be some $500 strong in twelve
states, will hold it's tenth annual conven-
ton in Chicago next Sunday, and utter
a protest against the allegations set forth
in the circular referred to.
Without knowing anything of the ma
ture of the controversial conditions be-
tween these two Bohemian organizations,
the public will note the singular phase of
a situation that involves the issue of sui
eide. To max war on a society on the
grounds that it promotes the theory and
practice of suicide. to such an extent
that one member out of every 400 takes
his own life, is a startling innovation, to
say the east.
However baseiess may be the state
ments contained in the circular, the ex-
plantations set forth in the protest will be

with a student whom she then saw for
the first time, and who afterward became
her husband. The education of women
in Russia stands better than in most Eu-
ropean countries, owing to the persistent
efforts of the Russian women themselves.
BY 1886 they had managed to get four
university colleges for women, with 1,442
students; one medical academy. with 500
students, and numerous intermediate
schools. There are 700 women doctors
in Russia, of whom nearly one-half are
employed in the civil service, chiefly by
the ZemStvOs.

1t is more than likely that the governor
took in Chinatown, not from motives of
curiosity, but as a student of political
philosophy.
Since Ii Hung Chang, the most prom

Chinatown has had an ATTRACTION for
democrats heretofore shown only as a

When Mr.. Chang gave his cue to the

of the Philippines, he did not promise to
take the stump in behalf of that party,

EMILE ZOLA'S PM OSCPHT.

To-day the Inter Mountain publishes in
full the letter addressed by Emile lola.
the great French novelist. to the wife of
Captain Dreyfus. 1t is worthy a care
full perusal and is vitalized by a phil
osophy which all men might with credit
to themselves and the happiness of the
world weave into the texture of their own
lives.
Speaking of the men who have hound
ed and insulted him, lola declares that
he has driven them out of his memory
out of his life-and that for him his de-
tractors are no more. There is a wealth
of wisdom in the man who can 'let the
dead bury it's dead"-who can dismiss
the past as an ugly dream would be wip-
ed off the sensitive plates of the mind.
History is burdened with the wrecks
of men who have fallen under the shafts
of detraction-men whose life purposes
have shrivelled up and decayed under
the glare of a persistent and burning OPP
position.
But Zola has been ripened to the true
philosophy of self-defence-the blessed
boon of forgetfulness. Nothing so wears
Upon the man who feels the force of pub
lie injustice as constant %brooding over
the wrongs inflicted upon him. AS a nov
elist of the realistic school-telling the
story of life as it is, rather han as it
ought to be-Zola early encountered the
fires of criticism which calcined his SEN
sitiveness into a higher respect for the
duty he owed to himself and to the world.
Like many a man of his type he gradu-
ally evoluted into a condition of mind
hat makes it possible to waive aside the
flood of injustice that threatens to drown
out and wash away the better instincts
of life. He has reached that happy al
titude in mental growth when he can
rise above the dogs that bark at his feet
and fix his eye on the lines of duty alone.
The world can learn wisdom from Zola.
Were every man to conform to the phil
osophy so pointedly outlined in his letter,
the cankering cares which criticisms in
spire, the thirst for revenge which the
constant memory or a wrong creates, the
bitterness which a failure to appreciate
and understand develops in the heart,
would pass away among the other incon-
se%uuential shadows of a forgotten past.
Mankind would be happier for the expert
ment. and when such a philosophy be-
came the rule of conduct it would revolu-
tionize the world. Zola's letter is a gem
that spark,es and scintillates and CLOVIS
in a setting of wisdom. 1t will give the
world a higher appreciation of the great
noyelist-a clearer insight into the noble
impulses that impel him to duty.

BY this quality of greatness man becomes

the allurements of the moment and stands

honor his memory not so much on account
of his great intellect, for his wonderful
capacity of leadership; we honor him for
his patriotism, his exalted character, his
simplicity, his self sacrifice, his untarnish-
ed life, and. above all, for his great heart.
Theodore Parker said Of him: For a
thousand years no king in Christendom
has shown such greatness or given so high
a type of manly virtue. He was ambl-
tious. but only in the cause of right and
for the good of the people. He formed a
triple alliance with his conscience, his
country his God BY his great heart he
, inspired the people and gave caste to the
nation. He was the truest sovereign of
earth, the noblest knight that drew sword.
For centuries liberty waited for a great
heart, and its waiting was not in vain.
Great Is this country: greater still the

made it possible for human being to

before Washington every heart uncovers
and every pulse throbs with great en-
thusiasm. He stands before the world
the pattern of citizenship for soldier and
civilian, a great soul that outshines gen.
ius; a great life made great by a great
purpose. by lofty ideals, by pure devotion
to the right and by a tranquil trust in
God. May his name be enshrined in the
hearts of all citizens may we initiate his
example, and may his life continue to be
a growing power of virtue, moral strength,
honesty and integrity among the people.
