The Duke Was Kind.

The late Duke OF Buccl-uch. in one
of his walks, purchased COW in the
nrishborhood of Dalkeith. which was
to be sent 10 his palace on the follow

to It's destination The bov, not
knowing the Duke, bAwled out TO
him HE. nun. come here an gie's

The Duke walked on slowly, the
boy still craving his assistance,
and At last. IN tone Of distress. ex-
claimed "Cpme here. nun, an help
us, an I'll gle you haf | get The
Duke went aui leot the helping hard.
And now, sill the Dlke, A. they
rrulgei along, how much VIII yon

On. l dinua ken, said the boy,
but I'm sure o something, for the
folk up at the biz house are guide 20
a bodies
As they approached the house the
Duke disappeared from the boy and
entered at - different way. Calling
a servant, he put sovereign in his
hand, SAYING Give that to the hov
who brought the COW" The Duke
having returned to the avenue was
soon rejoinei by the boy.
well, how much did you get p
said the Duke.
"A shilling, said the boy, IAN
there's half o it t'ye.
But YOU surely got more than
shilhug2' sal the Duke.

and dye no think it's plenty ?
Il DO not, said the Duke there
must be some mistake, aud as | am
acquainted with the Duke. if you re-
tur think I'll get YOU more.
They went back, the Duke rang the
bell aud ordered all the servants 10 be
assembled.
Now, sail the Duke to the boy,
point mr ont the person that gave
you the shilling
1T WAS the chap there, pointing
to the butler. The butler confessed,
aud attempted an apology, but the
Duke Indignantly ordered him TO give
the boy the sovereign. You have
lost, sad the Duke, your money,
your situation aud your character, hy
your covetousuess learn hencefoith
that honesty Is the best policy.
The boy by this time recognized
his assistant in the person Of t-e
Duke, says the Weekly Telegraph,
and the Duke was 70 del GIFTED with
the sterling worth aud honesty of the
boy that he ordered him to be sent 10

white assorters have ricked out the
diamonds is turned over to native AS
sorters. who so through the mass again
in search of diamonds that the first as
sorrers may have missed.
At the end of each day the dia-
monds Thus assorted are taken TO the
general Office uLder an armed escort
and are given to experts in charge OF
the diamond department. The dla-
monds are then tolltd in a mixture of
nitric and suIphuric aclds to dissolve
the crust that has formed around
them This process leaves the diS-
mond> in the rough Iusrrrtul, but look
ing like dingy crystals Of various col
ors The experts then again assort the
diamonds with respect to color, clear
ness. hawnrss aud size
Now the diamonds have become
gems that may be exposed for sale, so
thrv are taken into the salesrooms and
spread out on sheets of white paper,
heaps and heaps Of them, Of all sizes,
colors and shapes The diamonds are
all carefully valued, according TO
weight and purity, and are sold. Next
thev 90 to the diamond cutters. who
work on them for days and days, cut-
ting various sides on them and polish
ing them until they look like stars In
this cutting process it often happens
that diamond will be reduced to half
It's Original weight.
In tae diamond mines proper all
possible precautions are taken to keep
the workmrn from stealing the gems.
The lahorrrs are constantly watch d
by trustworthy overseers, aud at night
they are stripped of their clothes and
their bodies searched Then tney are
sent naked to their sleeping rooms,
where blankets are allowed them. OF
course, this applies to the natives, as
the only white men employed in hand
ling the blue ground are in the assort-
ing room.
It is an interesting fact that all OF
the machinery is of American make,
and is run entirely by American en-
gineers.
1t is said that some fifteen tons of
precious stones have been taken from
the Kimberley district since 1870. In
conducting the business at the KIM
berley mine 1900 Europeans and
800 natives are employed. The
workmen are paid high wages and
every laborer on the floor" is paid
percentage on all the diamonds be
finds while narrowing the blue
grounds
Diamond cutting and polishing is a
very difficult process, which Is done
almost entirely by hand. The stones
are polished by rubbing two, each on
the other. or by rubbing them with a
polishing wheel that is covered with
diamond powder; it is case Of "dia-
mond cut diamond" " When it is nee
essary to cut valuable piece from a
stone. iron wires covered with diamond
powder Are used The facets, or diff
ferent sides, are formed by this rub
bing process, which is very slow and
laborious one. A stone weighing
say 90 carats, will require at least
four or FIVE months of constant work
to reduce it TO the proper form A
diamond about the size of small pea
will weigh over a carat.

looks easy, and after opening it before
him, locks it again and then offers to bet
his new found friend any sum of money
that he can't open it. 1t looks easy and
in some instances they catch people who
are suckers enough to go up AGAINST it.

front axle of a buggy on each side o.

shafts remain suspended and when the
horse is hitched up the contrivance IN
clasps It IS small, portable and self
adjustable and requires no effort to
keep the shafts in the right position all

for a patent but have already manu-
