Diamonds Lose Favor.

According to an expert writer in
the Petis Blcu. the heyday of diamonds
has gone, at least on the Continent.
Diamonds are succumbing to three
kinds of evolution:
Cd The evolution of moral taste.
1t is now considered bad form for Ia
dies anh gentlemen to advertise their
wealth by display of diamonds.
(2) a scientific evolution. Thanks
to this diamonds are so wonderfully
well counterfeited that they are no
longer the sign of wealth. The larger
and the more numerous the diamonds
the more they are suspected of being
false.
(3) The evolution of artistic taste.
The diamond admits Of hardly any va
ration in shape or composition.
The great Continental artists OF to-
day in the jewelry line use gold. CT,
even COPPER or iron. and pro- ,ce with
them little marvels of art, in which
the diamond hardly ever enters, unless
il a very minute and accessory way,
n order to animate" the whole.

Mrs. Gaylord's pillow was wet with
tears that night, but they were the
tears of gratitude, and peace came to
her like a ray Of hope that never leaves
sombre shadow from the Giver of
every good and perfect gift.
The remainder of this story is quick
ly told. What Elizabeth said to her
father will never be repeated in words,
but it had its full and perfect effect.
She returned to young Gaylord the next
evening, and this is what she said to
him:
William, my mission has been sue

you told me the truth. You are free
man. Before l rested last night my
father, confronted with your words,

bank today and faced the directors
with him. His head was only one of
all the rest that burned, suffused with
shame. l demanded your freedom, and
my father then admitted that the tr'st
had advanced again and that tho brnk
was now as solvent as it ever had bssn.
Even your investment had made Ils
loss.
Indeed, there was something said
about the profits gained, and l then
demanded a promise from each sepa-
rate individual that not one penny Of
this gain should ever be touched by
single officer of the bank. The prom
Use was made, and, William, you will
promise, too? l know, my love, you
will" And as he promised her, tears
mingled with his own, while Mrs. Cay
lord lifted up her voice from a heart
over1owing with gratitude to Him who
has promised to be mindful Of the
widows son.
William Gaylord and Elizabeth
Dalow, his wife, are living in the West,
happy and as nearly well con:snted as
loving man and wife can be. she still
doing him honor, and he as proud of
her as an honest man can be Of a pure
and loving woman.
If any man or woman is disposed to
doubt the truth of this story Of real
life in all essential details, les it be said
that it is true, and that there are
men-for the incident is not Of remote
date-who can verify it almost within
reach Of the writer's hand. This is but
one incident Of its kind.
Are there any more?-New York

I'canuts In Africa.

According to published statistics the
last peanut harvest on the Coromandel
coast yielded 10000 tons, which with
an oil capacity of 40 per cent, would
produce approximately 1860 tons. or
10000 barrels of oil. The oil from this
district has not a particularly good
flavor, and is used for the manufac,
ture Of soap, says the Berlin Nachrich-
ten. The harvest matured early this
year, and 125,0O0 bales, sufficient for
5000 barrels of oil, were sold for de-
livery at Marscilles in February. On
the coast of Senegal 10000 tons of pea.
nuts were harvested. These nuts dc
not contain as much oil but it is of
finer quality and is used as a substi.
tute for olive oil and cottonseed oil.

Tho Art of breathing.

1t is possible TO exercise ones whole
body. to keep il strong AMI well, sim
ply ny breathing properly. Children
should be taught to breathe and to get
into the habit Of filling the whole lung
space ut each Inhalation and Of empty
ing it completely at each cXhalation.
There is no better way of getting to
sleep soon after going to bed than by
breathing properly. Push away the
pillow and lie flat upon the back with
the muscles relaxed. Slowly draw in
the deepest breath possible, hold it for
four seconds. then slowly cNpel it until
the chest and abdomen have collapsed.
Repeat this process until YOU are tirct
or fall asleep. There are scores of
ways of varying this exercise. But this
is the essential OF course, it is as
sumed that one sleeps with his bed
room windows open.

HOW DAVIS MANAGED.
Method In Which the Washington
Monument Was Saved.


If, says the New York Tribune,
there is q rlan IN the world who might
restore the placdity OF Venice, which
has been so disturbed by the fall OF
the Campanile and the precarious con.
dition of its other famous types of
architecture, he is the new American.
major general who Is shortly to re-
lieve Chaffee of the Philippine COM
mand. For it was George W. Davis
who saved the Washington Monument
from destruction and by the applica-
ton of his ingenuity, solved funda-
mental problems in his unique, offhand
manner that had bafiled the highest
engineering skill of modern times. Al
ter the great shaft to the Father OF HIS
Country had risen slowly to the height
of 1877 feet and rested there like
rough factory chimney, an unfinished
oyesore for 90 years, Congress deter
mined to complete it, cid gave the job
to the army. Built on the edge OF
the Potomac marsh, as unstable as the
soil of the Queen of the Adriatic, the
shaft had already leaned five feet oiit
of plum, and nobody could be found
to set it straight and insure its per-
manent stability until Davis, lately
uuartermaster, then an infantry cap
tain, volunteered 10 lift the hundreds

weighing it all down with. stones and

bility that would endure forever. Then
he wedged up the monument and put
an everlasting foundation under it and
finally turned the work over to the
engineers under Colone! Casey, who
eventually set the capstone 500 feet
above the earth Up to this day the
great structure has not moved hairs
breadth, and frequent inspection de-
mcnstrates how wonderfully Davis
planned. But as he cannot be spared
from Manila to save Venice, perhaps
it would be as we'll for the Venitians
to come to Washington and study his
triumph.

Great Cork Forests of Spain.

The cork forests of Spain cover an
area of 100000 square miles, producing
the finest cork in the world. These
forests exist in groups and cover wide
belts Of territory those in the region
of Catalonia and part of Barcelona
being considered the first in import
ance. Although the cork forests OF
Estremadura and Andalusia yield cork
ing some excellent qualities its con-
sistency is less rigid and on this ac-
count it does not enjoy the high repu-
tation which the cork OF Catalonia
does.
In Spain and Portugal where the
cork tree or Quercus suber is indigo
nous, it attains to height varying
from IS to co feet and the trunk to
diameter of 80 to sc inches. This
species of the evergreen oak is often
heavily caparisoned with widespread
ing branches clothed with ovate OBJ
long evergreen leaves, downy under
meath and the leaves slightly serrated.
Annually, between April and May, it
produces flower of yellowish color,
succeeded by acorns. Over 10000
square miles in Portugal are devoted
to the cultivation of cork trees,
though the tree virtually abounds in
every part of the country.
The methods in vogue in barking
and harvesting the cork in Spain and
Portugal are virtually the same. The
barking operation is effected when the
tree has acquired sufficient strength
to withstand the rough handling it re-
ceives during this operation, which
takes place when it has attained the
18th year of its growth. After the first
stripping the tree is left in this juven-
escent state to regenerate, subsequent
strippings being effected at intervals
of not less than three years and under
this process the tree will continue to
thrive and bear for upward of 15O
years.-Boston Herald.

ON observation-disclosures.
Argument to Show Ii Docs Not Mean
Mental Failure.


Mental Failure.
IS observation-disclosures indicative OF
mental failure? This question is sug-
gested by such facts as the large num-
ber Of unaddressed letters posted each
year. An English contemporary cites
in evidence the official list of articles
left in one year in the London cabs
and omnibuses. 1t includes $50 canes,
$4,000 umbrellas, 267 rugs, 742 opera
glasses, 92G articles of jewelry, $50
watches, 3,239 purses, besides birds,
dogs, cats, etc.
The list seems like a pretty severe
Indictment Of the mental qualities OF
the modern city dweller, and If the
hard-prcsscd newspaper reporter hap
pens to see it he will undoubtedly send
off a narrowing syndicate letter to all
the Sunday editors on this alarming
demonstration of mental degeneracy
of the twentieth century man. Even
our medical contemporary suggests
the advisablity of those who ride IN
omnibuses and who forget things OF
consulting a physician.
The more marvc' us thing, however,
is that they do not forget far more
often than they do. Civilization has
suddenly increased thousandfold the
necessary and synchronous prcoccu-
patton of the mind. Singlcness OF at
tention was the predominant charac-
teristic Of mental action before our
tine OF bewildcring interests and du-
ties. Not to have learned the trick OF
poising in the attention at one instant
such a multitude of objects is certain
ly not a demonstration OF mental 1all-
ure, but rather of non-acquirement or
q difficult art.
But the more convincing proof or
the actual triyiality OF the amount or
forgetfulness is shown by the comparl-
son of the number Of memory slips OF
the Londoncr with the number who
ride in omnibuses and other public
carriages. Let us double the number
of lost articles and put the total at
$4,000; if now we roughly estimate the
number Of rides each day in London,
as at least on the average one for each
twentieth citizen, we calculate in
year there are surely as many as lO0,-
100000 trips made Consequently, on
the average, a person forgets some ar
ticle once in about every 1000 trips
taken.
The alarnist adviser of consultation
of an alicnist for such failures oil mem
ory would probably smile at this evil
dencc of his own mental failure

Human skulls are a strange article
of commerce. Yet such is the demand
which mas arisen among curiosity deal
ers in Europe for the skulls of New
Guinea native ancestors, which have
ornamented the poles of native dwell
ings in New Guinea that the Austral-
ian government has inhibited the
trade. Large prices were offered the
natives for the strange relics, and it
was feared that the temptation was
becoming so strong that as the supply
of genuine ancestors ran low illegal
methods of procuring spurious ones
would be adopted.

CLEANING A FLANNEL WAIST.

Have tub half filled with warm
(ninety degrees Fahrenheit) soapy wa
ter, to which have been added two
tablespoonfuls of boraX. Wash waist
;ip and down in the water with as lit
tie rubbing as possible, as this mats
the fibre. Never rub soap directly On
flannel Rinse well in two or three
waters OF the same temperature as
the first, adding to the last water one
tablespoonful Of glycerine. This
helps to keep the wool soft. Loosen
the tension of the wringer, put the
waist through and hang until nearly
dry. Place a slightly dampened
cheese-cloth over the flannel, on the
right side, and press with a moderate
ly hot iron. In removing the cheese
cloth the fibres cling to it and are
drawn up, giving the flannel a soft
finish much like the new material.
