MINERS AND MORPHINE.

A Necessary Custom Which Is Not
Pleasant to Contemplate.
"When was In the northwest" said
a gentleman with some money invested
In mines. II employed prospector to
go out Into the mountains looking for
properties which had been recommend
ed to me. One day he was to have
gone from our camp over into a very
rough aud rocky district, but when
evening eame he reported that he
hadn't made the trip.
"'Why notY | inquired.
"'Because | didn't have my NOR
phlne with me- he responded In n very
matter of fact manner,
'Morphinef said in establishment.
What has that got TO do with II? You
are not n morphine fiend, are your
"'Not as much of u one rs you are a
tenderfoot,' he laughed and proceeded
to Inform me that every prospector
who knew his business always carried
with him enough morphine to kill a
man easily and that he did so In order
to end himself quickly in case of an ac-
cldent which would disable him far
away from assistance. There were
many instances or prospectors fn1Iing
over cliffs and gripping themselves or
breaking leg In n hole among the
rocks or rendering themselves helpless
In some other way, and death was sure
TO follow by starvation or freezing or
In some sections by being deyoured by
wolves or other wild animals. In order
to prevent such horrible death as any
OF these the prospector slmplifed mat
tiers by always carrying little packet
Of morphine, which not only quleted
the pain of the hurt he had sustained,
but put him TO sleep pleasantly to
wake no more on earth. 1t struck me
Mt first as uncanny, not to say wicked,
but | got over that feeling after mar
row escape or two, and | carried my

by Greek merchant. who told them
that he would give them the means of
hiding their bald pates under luxurious
curls. In his chariot he had hundreds
of wigs of all colors.

THE REGENT DIAMOND.
II Is Acknowledged the Most Perfect
brilliant In Existence.


The pitt" Cor Regent" as it was
afterward called is the most perfect
brilliant in existence, and its history Is
also very remarkable. 1t is said to
have been found by slave in the Par
teal mines In 1901, who to retain his
treasure cut a hole in the calf of his
leg, In which he concealed 1t, although
1t Is more probable he secreted 1t
among the bandages. The slave es-
capped to the coast with his find, where
he encountered an English skipper,
whom he made his confldant, Offering,
indeed, to bestow upon him the stone In
return for his liberty. The mariner,
apparently coasentlng to the slaves
proposal, took him out to sea and when
there drowned him, after obtaining
possession of the diamond. Dlsposlng
of the gem TO a diamond merchant for
$1,000, It Is said the man afterward
hanged himself in ut of remorse.
Mr. Pitt, governor of Fort st. George
and great-grandfather of the lllustrlous
William Pitt, became the next pos
SCISSOR Of this valuable stone, weighing
410 carats. for 100000 He sent 1t to
London, where he had 1t very sklllfully
cut at cost of 5000, the process oc.
cupylng two years. Pitt appears to
have found his diamond no very enyla-
BILE possession, for. after refuting the
calumnies of his enemies, who had
charged him with having obtained 1t
by unfair means, he was so haunted by
the fear of being robbed that he never
slept two nights consecutlvely under
the same roof never gave notice of his
arrival In or departure from town and
went about mysterously disguised. He
must necessarily have felt greatly re-
lleved when he parted with the dla-
mond to the Duo d'0rleans, regent
during the minority of Louis Nv, king
of France. in 17l7 for the sum of f135.-

There are some queer features about
the census use Of the word family"
1t means practically those who eat at
the same table. A hotel Is family.
Tho Memorial Hail Dining association
Mt Cambridge is family; 30 Is the
Danvers Lunatie asylum. A stray man
who keeps bachelors hall Is a family.
The necessity for this use of the term
came with the question of enumerat-
ing domestic servants. 1t was found
absolutely impossible TO attach them
to their own families. scattered as they
are. They had to go with the family
they were living with. This led to
continuation of the principle, with the
result mentioned. AS 1t works out, the
census family differs from the actual
family In size only by small fraction
Of one person.-New York Post.
