Yet another street pavement! Not sat-

of checkers. These blocks are so closely
fitted together that water cannot pass be-

STORIES OF A DIAMOND CAMP.
Wonderful Strikes Made at kimber-
ley, south Africa.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail.
The most remarkable thing about dia-
mond mining is the Insignificant result in
point of bulk of many years of working
in an army of men" Thus spoke to a
Daily Mail representation an old miner
who has spent some years at Kimberley
and on the Vaal river.
Although" he continued "the Kimber-
ley. mine has been worked daily by never
less than 10000 men for a period of nearly
thirty years, all the diamonds that have
been discovered could be comfortably
packed in an ordinary trunk or box
In other words, the equivalent of the
work of our entire regular army digging
for whole year is a single cubic yard of
diamonds, which might be slowed away
under any ordinary breakfast table and
lost TO sight
You would find, however, that, insis-
niticant as this glittering pile may ap-
pear, 1t would tax the strength of 160 men
to carry them awayr while their eauiva-
lent in sovereiens would weigh no less
than S1 tons, or a heavy load for POO
horses
Taking diamonds of all sizes from
large stones weighing an ounce or more
each 70 tiny specs, several of which would
go IN single carat, you may say approx
imately that ton of diamonds is equal in
value to forty-eight or fifty tons of gold.
Although a sing.e ounce of mixed dia
mohos may only be worth f225, a single
stone Of the same weight may well he
valued at $50 times that sum.
Inc largest diamond. although by no
means the most valuable, ever found at

CATCHING HEAR CUBS,
An Amusing Sport in Yellowstone
Park.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The National Zoo at Washington is sup
piled with many animals from the Yellow

all kinds of wild animals and birds. from

the bears is attended with much excite

The cubs caught are always found up

mother. When esped by the hunters, who

pieces of rope the first thing done is to

her little ones That is not a difficult noe

full of fun and excitement. As a usual
thing, one of the hunters climbs near
by tree, and armed with a long pole,
which is cut by his companions while he
climbs the tree, proceeds TO dislodge the
mother. This he does by prodding her in
the sides with the pole. which is cut long

STORK WHIPS LIONS.
How Old Fritz Did Up Three of the
Kings of Beasts.
From the New York Press.

Baron Stein Of Poppelsdorf, near Bonn,
Germany, is an amateur animal tanner, and
has for his amusement a small menagerie
In a park adjoining the old summer resi-
dence Of the Cologne electoral princes in
Poppelsdorf. Among other wild beasts he
owns five African lions, from 2 to years
old. They were raised with hyenas, with
whom they live on good terms, though oc-
casionally one Of the big cats knocks
hyena down and scratches its face just 70

Having taught these animals all that
he could the baron decided to introduce a
novelty into the performances which he is
in the habit of giving before an admiring
circle of friends. An old white stork nam
ed Fritz has lived for years on the high
est tower of Poppelsdorf castle, and, as he
was reared in the baron's poultry yard
never has INDUCED In the migratory habits
of his kind.
Fritz, who is four feet tall and has bill
more than seven inches long. was kept
In the big training cage alone for a week
to accustom him to It. On the tenth day
of his Imprisonment the lion cage was roll
ed up to the stage
Fritz viewed the lions with healthy curl
osity, but without the least alarm, Tampa
a 2-year-old lion, was the first to be driven
into the cage with the bird. He looked
at Fritz for a second or two and then tried
to crawl back to his family, tail first; but
finding the means Of egress locked he
raised himself to his full hight and uttered
defiant roar.
At this the stork's neck feathers bristled

silence of the forest gives them a feeling
of reinsurance, and they poke out their
heads to view the situation. 1t is then
that the hunter quietly and dexterously
drops the moose over the unsuspecting pro-

it tightly around his neck. The other end

CATARRH OF STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and
Effectual Cure for It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing TO in
durable. The usual symptoms are a
full or bloating sensation after eating
accompanied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, a formation of gases,
causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing; head
aches, tickle appetite. nervousness and
a general played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and If the inter-
ior of the stomach could be seen II
would show a slimy, infamed condi-
tiOn.
The cure of this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before II has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces Of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy diges-
tion is the one necessary thing to do
and when normal digestion is secured
the catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to Dr. HarlansOn the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of dat
ase, Aseptic Pepsin, little Nux. Gold
en- Seal and fruit acids. These tablets
can now be found at all drug stores un-
der the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and not being a patent medi-
cine can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion will follow their
regular use after meals.
Mr.. n. j. Booher, Of 27IO Dearborn
street, Chicago. ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh
is a local condition resulting from a
neglected cold in the head, whereby
the lining membrane of the nose be-
comes inflamed and the poisonous dis
charge therefrom passing backward
into the throat reaches the stomach,
thus producing catarrh of the stomach.
Medical authorities prescribed for me
for three years for catarrh of stomach
without cure, but today / am the hap
piest of men after using only one box
of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. l can
not find appropriate words to express
my good feeling, / have found flesh,

Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the saf-
est preparation as well as the simplest
and most convenient remedy for any
