Kimberley is IS much sui generis IS is the geological formation out of which is extracted the source of it's wealth and existence. Nowhere in the World has woman such monument to her influence and her needs. Here is busy, bustling city of many thou sands of white inhabitants, to say nothing of hordes of Kafir boys, de- voted day and night, year in and year out, ministering solely to the passion of the fair sex for fine gems. Of course, men wear diamonds, and there are many industries in which dia- monds are valuable, though none in which they are indispensabl not even in the comparatively humble calling of the plumber and gsazier. It is as indispensable as proposition of Flu cid, that if there. were no fine ladies in the world there would be no Kim berley.-London Telegraph.

sti1l rhere wa. parger.

A little girl from Memphis who has spent her life in the city went out to visit her grandparents, living in the country during the holidays and, as usually happens in such cases, the little city lady displayed her ignor- ance.
 The little girl soon after her arrival n the country manifested great ap- prehension of being hooked by the cows about the place. One day her mother told her to go to a neighbor's home and carry message. The Iit- tie girl started, but at the gate she encountered a cow, one of the muley species.
 In great excitement she ran back to her mother, crying: "Oh, mammal there's cow down therei"
 The mother looked out of the win dow and saw the meek-looking bovine.
 "Why, daughter. that's muley COW. She hasn't any horns and can't hook you."
 But, mammal" exclaimed the child, "she hasn't any horns. but she might hook me with her pompadour!''-- Memphis Scimetar.

A Result of IlIfterncy.

The general illiteracy of the Rus sian country people has one curious result. A writer in Scribner's who has travelled widely in their country notes that the shopkeepers announce their wares by pictures rather than by names. The attention of custom CTS is sought by paintings of the ar ticles on sale; as of coats and trousers in the clothing stores; bread, butter. cheese and sausages in the line of pro visions; knives, forks and carpenters tools at the hardware dealers, and so on. Even in the barracks, the sentry is taught the proper military mo- tions by a series of pictures. It all seems like dealing with children as it is! There are millions on mill lions who read no books or newspa- pers, and write and receive no let ters.''

Curious Picture Frames.

Tn many churches of Provence and Italy, especially those near the sea, ex Soto paintings placed on the walls in accordance with vows made by pill grims in moments of danger are often remarkable for their frames Among the curiosities may be enumerated Iaths formed of splinters from ships that have been wrecked, also frames made of pieces of heavy cables, occa- sionally painted bright hues, butisome- times left in their primitive gray color, splashed with tar: Nailed to the laths surrounding painting representing sailors fighting with fierce sayages may be seen African or Polynesian spears and darts, or swords made of hardwood, evidently mementos of ter rifice struggles. Sailors or landsmen who have made vows during times of peril at sea, and who have no troubles to display, will surround their paint ings with broad bands of wood heavily incrusted with shells and seaweed, not infrequently of rare and extremely beautiful kinds.

What a Patent Costs.

In the course of it's progress through the office, up to the issue and mailing of patent, an application passes through the hands of 52 persons. An applicant pays SIS to have his claim examined, and in case he is granted a patent and additional fee of $20 is re. quired. Attorneys charge from S2s up, according to the work demanded by the cases, and as the applications number about 4o,ooo annually, it. will be seen that there is good deal of money to be divided among the patent lawyers whose signs cover the faces of the buildings in the vicinity of the patent office. An inventor is not re- quired to employ an attorney, but probably 99 out of 100 do so.--C Chicago Chronicle.

RETIRING PHYSICAL DIRECTOR.
Rendered Reception at I. NJ. c. A.
 Building Last Night.


 Arthur Shoemaker, retiring physical director of the local Y. NJ. c. A., must have been fiattered at the grand fare we'll reception rendered to him last night by the Ladies' auxiliary of the I. NJ. c. A. About 300 persons were present. The reception commenced at $ o'clock. Mrs Amelia M. Castle, pres ident of the auxiliary, was ably as- sisted by the other officers and mem- bers of the reception committee in giy- ing a hearty welcome to the guests. The entire building was thrown open to inspection and the visitors eagerly availed themselves of the opportunity of seeing the various departments. Great credit is due Mrs 1. 4. Spencer, chairman of the flower committee, and her associates for the charming man. ner in which punches of flowers had been layishly displayed about the va riouS rooms on the first floor.
 The entertainment commenced about 9 o'clock. It was held in the gym nasium. The opening numbers were selections by the |. NJ. G. A. orchestra. Songs by a quartet consisting of Ar thur Shoemaker. John Shute, James ". Gearing and John w Potter were very delightful. Interesting. as usual, were the readings by Miss Lena Diet rich. A pyramid and tumbling act by a squad of young men brought the en- tartainment to an end. Refreshments were served. MT Shoemaker was the recipient of many handshakcs and fond farewells last night. During the several years that he has been physi- cal director of the Y. M. c. A. he has made hosts of friends. His ability as physical director is of the highest order. 1t is therefore with regret that the local I. NJ. c. A. loses the services of Mir Shoemaker, who has resigned his position to study medicine.
