AFRICAN DIAMONDS.
FIRST Discovered by an Irish man. john

o'Roiny.
Mr.. John O'Reilly, who had occasion
in the winter of 1867 to do business in
the Hopetown District OF Griqualand
West, on the other side of the Vaal
river. first discovered diamonds in
South Africa. He passed night at
the house OF Schalk van Niekerk, a
Dutch farmer. While bartering with
the Boer and his wife O'Reilly's at
tention was attracted by game the
children were playing. being partieu-
larly struck with the peculiar trans
parency OF one OF the pebbles used in
the game. Though O'Reilly had never
seen "A diamond in the rough he ex-
pressed an opinion that the pebble
played with by the children was really
the precious gem. The farmer ridi-
culed the idea, saying O'Reilly might
have 1t II he cared for the rubbish.
adding that there were plenty more OF
them in the river clay. O'Reilly accept
ed it on the understanding that IL II
turned out TO be a diamond the farm
er should receive half the sum. At
Colesburg IL was submitted to experts.
most of whom denied 1t being OF much
value, but DR.. Atherstone, of Grahams-
town. pronounced it to be a veritable
diamond weighing 23ts karats and
worth $500. The then governor Of
the Cape, Sir Philip Wodehouse,
bought 1t for that sum. Diamonds
oFerwards were found in the mud
walls of native huts. and this led to the
opening of the dry diggings where now

An Irish Horse Tanner.

It is no easy matter to quell "the
fiery unframed steed." 1.-THE man who
can break in vicious horse Is not
to be met with every day." observed a
horse breeder; land when q really
good man is found he may command
q lot of money. I suppose that an
Irishman named Sullivan was one of
the greatest of horse tanners. His
power was wonderful, and owners OF
vicious horses clamored for his serv-
ices. He always performed his work
In secret. causing himself and his
fractions charge to be shut up to-
gether for about half an hour. When
the signal was given the door was
opened, and the horse, covered with
Precipitation and trembling violently,
was seen lying down, with the Irish
man Familiarity playing with him. The
spirit hitherto so untractable was
completely broken; the steed from
which the boldest rider shrank to
mount child might have ridden with
the utmost safety."-N. Y. News.

HER EYES ARE SEALED.
Until Three Days After Her Marriage
a Corenn Brides Eyelids Are
Pasted Together.

"a Corean bride has her eyelids past
ed together until she has been three
days wife," said Mrs. s. L. Baldwin,
who has lived for more than 20 years
in China and Corea, and who is con-
sidered among missionaries to know
more about "the hermit nation" as the
Coreans are called, than any other for
eigner.
Their marriage customs are very
curious, and perhaps had better tell
you about a Corean wedding, which,
once, as great honor, was allowed to
attend.
The groom wore a costume similar
to that of an official at royal audiences
and, let me say, that this wedding
suit is invariably hired. never owned
by the groom. The robe was dark
green and bore 'placques,' with a pair;
of embroidered storks, on the breast,
and back, while stiff black enameledl
belt encircled his body like hoop.
He wore 'palace-going' hat of woven
horsehair, with wings on its sides,
and pair of shoes which closely re-
sembled 'arctics.' and were at least
three sizes too large for him.
ION entering the court OF their flu
ture home be was preceded by an at
tendant attired in white, with a red
hat, long string of beads around his
neck. and carrying under his arm
live goose. The legs of the fowl were
fastened together and skein of red
silk was passed through her beak
This man, followed by the groom, en-
tered the court, around the sides of
which all the guests were seated, adj
vanced to red table standing in the
center, and the ceremony began.

THE goose is the symbol of fidelity
in Corea, and it is popularity believed
that when Wild goose dies its spouse
never mates again. The groom then

stands at the foot of the steps, wait
Ing for his bride.
1.-TWO middle-aged women stepped
from an inner room on to the porch
with the bride between them, each
holding an arm and guiding her steps,
for, as ! have told you, her eyes were
sealed completely. Her entire face
was painted CHASTITY white. while on
the middle of her forehead and each
cheek was a dab of bright red; her
lips were also colored brilliant scar
let.
"This little painted and gorgeously
attired creature was guided to the mat
on which stood the groom. Then they
turned her about and laid over her
clasped hands white handkerchief.
The groom now stepped to the other
end of the mat, and the principal part
of the ceremony began.
The attendants raised the brides
small, draped hands until they were on
u level with her sightless eyes. Then,
still supported by the two women, she
sank in courtesy so profound that she
was almost In sitting position. This
was repeated in slow and solemn
manner three times. after which the
groom's turn came, and he responded
by three bows so profound that his
hend almost touched the floor.
"They then took their seats on their.
respective ends of the mat, and table
about IL inches high, filled with Corean
delicacies, was brought out and placed
between them. These the bridal pair
ate and drank, the bride being fed by
her two attendants.
after the feast was finished the
groom was conducted to the bridal
chamber, where he changed his wed
ding suit for clothes presented to him
by the bride, and which were made by
her own fingers. He then came out,
and the bride was taken into the bridal
chamber and seated upon her cushions
on the floor, where she sat in placid
meditation until Joined by the groom,

it suited his convenience.

ONLY Two KIND. Of cooking.

All things should be cooked well.
There are but two classes of cookery,
the good and the bad. There is no me-
dunn. If things are not palatable they
are bad. 1t is not only the food that Is
wasted, but the time of preparation;
and. strange as it may seem. the most
artistic and the most wholesome ways
Of preparing foods are the simplest.
One great trouble with the average
housewife is that she has not studied
the art of ooking-which. being a
complicated one. cannot be learned
from book any more than the art of
painting or dancing can be picked up
without an instructor. To save trouble
the housewife falls into a routine;
overwork and over-anxiety rob her of
her appetite, and she Is poor Judge Of
the appetite of others.-Mrs. S. T.:

MAID OR MATRoNp
Features of Dress That Now Indicate
Whether Woman lis Married
or Single.

! At all smart functions In future, or
wherever evening dress is worn, there
is to be Distinguishing mark between
Nmatron and maiden. Unmarried wom-
len are to wear their bows, aigrettes or
flowers on the left side; matrons on the
right. 1t is only matter of decora-
'tion, but fashion has decreed 1t, says
the New York Herald.
In Paris and London the custom has
been adopted, to the infinite satisfac-
ton of the matrons, but not altogether
to that OF the unmarried women. What
one of them cares to proclaim to the
world at large the fact of her single
blessedness?
Heretofore the only distinguishing
mark between the married and unmar-
'ried woman has been the wedding
ring of no particular consequence, at
evening functions, where. with the ex-
ception of dinners, woman's hands
are never uncovered.
Now all is changed. Coiffeurs insist
that madame must wear her aigrette
on the right side of her head; made
moiselle on the left. If mademoiselle
desires to enhance her beauty by a
Aower instead of an aigrette. let her
have it by all means, tucked in with
seeming artless grace, but let her make
sure IL Is the left side of her profile she
studies while arranging the effect. lest
later on she be accused of endeavoring
to seem that which she is not.
Dressmakers are following the same
unwritten law with flowers or the huge
chou bow so indispensable this season
to all smart frocks. Let no Impractical
hand be so misguided as to imagine
that this chou can be carelessly put on
either the right or left side. It's proper
adjustment is a matter of art; its in
artistic adjustment is enough to ruin
on otherwise chic gown. The size of
the chou should bear some relation 10
the figure of the woman who is to wear
1T. 1t is prettiest made of lace, but may
he of chiffon, or even silk or velvet if
desired. Commonly. it is the size of q
peony, of q contrasting color TO the
gown, and may have ends or not, as one
likes. On slender, fat chested wom-
an ends that fall below the waist line
are most desirable; a woman of good
curves, on the contrary, prefers the
chou without ends. But with or with
out on matron right or maiden left, the
chou must be set down on one side of
the bodice just below the 'decolletage"
