In Paris there has recently been OPP
ened a special cemetery for dogs where
the deceased CANNES can be buried
with rs much pomp and be marked by
as pretentious headstone as their late
masters can afford. Along the front

stone wall has been erected, and with
in the entrance on either side are the
house of the concierge and the office.

handsome marble monument. A heavy

Buckskm shoes are not commonly
seen in Portland. though the old Indian
moccasin may not be much of curios-
ity. so when an Arizona man appeared
with pair on his feet he attracted
some attention. \ prominent cattleman
OF the land of cactus and hot sands
who is in the city never wears any 9th
or shoes. The uppers are regular In
dian-tanned buck; the soles are of sole
leather, and he says they are just IKE
stocking to the feet. Although rex
skin Is supposed to be a lasting ma
terial, buckskin shoes cannot be worn
in the wet, and they would not do in
the plowheld or the harvest field. The
buckskin came from a deer he killed in
the Arizona mountains, and he paid SIC
to have two pairs of shoes made. He
thinks people who box their feet up In
stiff cnlfskin are missing a whole lot
of ease and comfort In life.-Portland

Letting Down a snob.

A plumb who was sent to the house
of stock broker to execute some re-
pairs was taken by the butler into the
dining-r room and was beginning his
work when the lady OF the house en-
tered. "Iohn, said she, with sus-
picious glance toward the plum Der,
''remove the silver from the sideboard
and lock 1t up at once" But the man
OF lead was in no wise disconnected.

accompanied him, take my watch

The slope of the valley of trouble is

the shadow Of death which stretches
across it is; never mind how black it
may look ahead. or how frowning the
rocks; from between their narrowest
gorge you may see. il you will, the
guide whom God has sent you; and
the angel OF hope will light up all the
darkness, and will only fade away
when she is lost in the seven-fold

true Canaan, to whose everlasting
mountains the steep way of life is
climbed at last, through valleys Of
trouble and of weeping and of tho

The progress OF China in the last 60
years is we'll illustrated by the fact
that when the Yangste valley was
opened, about that many years ago,
$500, 600 represented all that the Chi

Diamonds scnroo and high,

Nothing doing is the plant OF
men who work in diamonds. The
stones are high in price and hard to
get at any price. From South Africa
there practically has been no output
for six months. The Australian dia-
monds are so hard that the cost OF pre-
pang them for the trade precludes
their being available, except for tools
and other mechanical purposes. Dia-
monds that few moths ago could be
bought for $40 carat, now cost from
500 to $f5. There's nothing in the
business at such prices, declared an
importer.
