 SOUTH AFRICAN LAWS.
There Life Is Valued at Less Thas
 Diamonds.

Kimberley proper is built around a hole big enough to hold the entire white population of South Africa. This Is the excavation above the Kimberley mine, made when diamonds were mined from the surface. Nowadays shafts are sunk and levels formed. whence F1e blue ground is blasted out and haaled to the surface in elevators The diamond is different from other precious stones, in that it is found in soft clay, while the amethyst. ruby and emerald are embedded in quartz This makes the diamond easy to conceal in the mouth, nose. and by swallowing, and every year the De Beers company gets from the worlmen S2,000 ,000 worth of stolen goods. The inclIna- tion to pilfer these stones is so intense that the crime is severely punished. Tn South Africa the first commandment Is Thou shalt not steal diamonds For having diamond found on his person that is not registered a man will get % years imprisonment. At Cape Town is a great convict station called the 'Breakwater, where sons of prominent American families and English arfs- tocrats join in lockstep with Lasears and KafIirs They have all violated the first commandment. In Kimberley 1000 negro convicts sort the diamonds under the muzzles of Martini rifles. They are kept in a separate place. The other black boys live in a fiye-acre in closure known as the compound The De Beers company controls the dia= mond market of the world. Of the five mines-Kimberley De Beers, Du Toits. Pan Bullfontein, and Premier-the first two are situated in Kimberley and are the only ones worked now The dia- monds produced in other parts of the world would not supply the city of Philadelphia The value of the South African product thus far has been $6OO,000000. The supply seems mex. haustible. ."-Ainslie's Magazine.

Alesss or.,wtnr marn...r.

Prospective visitors and gola-seekefs fs in the klondike region may extract some comfort from the discovery, made by the Hartman Alaska expedition, that most of the glaciers which abound in that territory are receding. The fact is an indication that the average weather there is growing warmer. If 1t were growing colder the glacers would be advancing, while if it were about the same one year with anothet they would maintain the same general position. neither creeping nearer to the sea nor melting away from their ter miHal moraines. The rate Of glacial recession is so slow, however, that fur overcoats and warm sleeping bags are likely to remain as payt of the neees. sary equipment of Alaskan travel for some years to come. Nothing, it may be added, is slower thar the move ment ot glacier, except The settle ment of the Alaskan boundary dia- pute.

Only to name a few: A wom- an at Nice remarked the miserable con- dition of the horse she usually drove, and told her coachman to take him home and order brougham from the livery stables for her. The hired horse was as timid, and seemed as weak, as her own The driver said all the an- finals were "off their feet" A mon~ key, two tame ducks and other pets, at villa near Yillefranohe. on the shrove Tuesday--the day before tha Ihoek which destroyed so much life and property-rofused to enter the house, where they were generally very happy.

Other dogs also evineed an unwonted terror of being under roof.

ORIGIN OF THE WIG.
History ol Every Nation Mentions wigs Very Early.

Very Early.
 The first wig mentioned in history was made out of a goats skin and was worn by the daughter of Saul, king of Israel. The first artistic wigs were made in the south of Italy for tle Gapinfens, who lived in Apulia, anu were known for the luxuries of their toilet These people were. they say. the first who painted their faces; this they did with the juice of strawberries. Xenophon relates that little Cyrus, when he visited Astyages, his grand father, whose eyes were framed in blue paint and who wore an enormous wig, threw himself on his knees and cried: "0 mother, what beautiful grandfather l haye!" The Phoenician women, who were proud of their hair, having ben ordered by their priests to offer it up on the altars dedicated to Venus after the death of Adonis, obeyed but with murmuring. Soon they were e0nso1ed by Greek merchant who told them that he would give them the means of hiding their bald pates under luxuriant curls. In his chariot he had hundreds of wigs of all eolofs Wigs were in vogue in Rome toward the end of the republic, and so well made that, says Ovid, No man could know if his wife had any hair at all before she had given him an oppor- tunity of seizing her by the tresses. ," Teutonic peasants were the providers of blond hair for rich Roman prin cesses. who loved the contrast of it's haxen hue with their black eyes. They even had morning wigs, small and tightly curled. of any color. and kept the beautiful fair ones to receive their admirers at night Messalina had 150 wigs to disguise herself. Exchange

LAWRENCE. INFANT PRODIGY.
Attracted the Attention of Garriok,
 Foote, Burke and Sheridan.

Foote, Burke and Sheridan.
 Raphael with genius at his back, did not come to maturity so quickly, nor did Rubens. triumphant at Antwerp, hold popular applause so long; for Lawrence kept his admiring public to the last, and was something of a won der both as man and boy, says the Century. His whole career was bril- liant, yet not through intrinsic force his art was successful without being great; he was honored and praised down to his grave, and yet he possessed not genius. There are men who achieve popular success without genius. Lawrence Was one of them. The father was a man of some birth and eduea- tion, but what is called "the poetic temperament" and never got on very well in the world. He was at different times barrister without a brief, an actor without a part, 3 keeper of the White Lion inn at Dayizss without guests enough to make 1t pay When young Lawrence Was years old his father made change of base and moved into the Black Bear inn. 1t Ysls here that the hoy was placed upon table to recite Shakespeare for the guests. Here, also, he developed a wonderful gift Of making portraits sin pastel of the passing public. X guest could have portrait painted while hs waited, and the speed of the artist was not less wonderful than his age. The duchess of Devonshire and Lord and Lady Kenyon were among his early sitters, and the record is preserved that Lady Kenyon's likeness was drawn in profile, because, as the child artist de- elared "her face was not straight" In short time he had attracted the attention of Garriek. Foote, Wilkes, Burke, Sheridan and Johnson, and his father began travelling with him about the neighboring country and exhibiting him as one of the wonders O. the aga

HUNTING FOR PEARLS.
Two Stars in This Perllous Lins c
 Work.

Two Stars In This PeritOus Line Of
 Work.
 Two famous pearl divers recently visited San Francisco to buy a large quantity of air pumps, diving suits and like paraphernalia of the sea. Opu and Taipu ale their names, and they are generally regarded as stars In their perilous line of work. They were born on one of the islands of the Dan- gerous archipelago group. They speak good English, however, and both are thoroughly familiar with the ciyiliza- tion of West Australia, where they have sp@nt most of their lives as pearl hunters. says the New York Telegraph. Taipu is the principal native pearl merchant of the many hundreds who have embarked i'll tho trade since the natives of the Paumotu islands first dabbled in that form Of commerce. He owns a pearling dredger and ship, both are engaged in the trade in south western waters. His ship, however, is 3 mere hulk that travels less than ninety miles along the coast. They depend principally upon pearl shells for income, since to stake earnings on the pearls alone would be to invite loss. Valuable pearls are not frequent enough to make it pay. but the com mercial mother of-pearl is made from the shells that they deal i'll. When it comes to hunting for the real pearl there is not any kind of a scoop or 1redger than can take the place of mems eyes; diving and treadlng the deep is the only way to find valuable pearls As 8 rule, these are some dis tance apart, scattered over the rocky bed of the ocean, Sometimes man will pick up fortune i'll a few weeks md sometimes he will hardly make expenses in a season. Pearling is still profitable, for the crude shells are sold at from $500 to $750 ton, and there is always a chance that diver may make enough in e1e day to quit for life. We do not dive farther than sixty to 100 feet" said Opu, for tha tressure is too great. Even at thesa depths men cannot remain down over five or ten minutes. and the average life of the deep diver is short"
