European architecture is gradually
gaining a foothold in Japan and must
o n or later dominate, just as Eu-
ropean styles of dress are soon to
dominate in the big cities. In Toxic
and other large centers of population
all the new business houses are built
on European plans. They are found
to be more practicable. The resi-
dences are still of the Japanese style.
Some of the larger and finer residences
in the cities are built like American
houses, but most stick to the old GUS
toms. The government does not own
its buildings, but rents them, and
these, without exception, are of Eu-
ropean design. The Europeans and
Americans Eve stop at the Japanese
hotels, because they can not do with
out chairs. Our hotels have nothing
but neutrality-suspicious. WASH

The list of famous diamonds might be
stretched out much longer. There is

temple Of Shira, and now shows its
northumberland beauty in the duke

There is the Hastings diamond,

many a street ballad There is the
great Austrian yellow, weighing 1922
carats, among the Austrian crown jew
els.
There is the Darya-i-Nur, which is
the shah of Persia's' chief pride. 1t is
the finest jewel in his regalia, weighs
lS6 carats and is set in a bracelet, with
the Taj-e-Mah for companion. The
bracelets are valued at 91,00O, 900.

The Nizam belonged to the nizam OF
Hyderabad and weighed $40 ~carats, but
nothing certain is known of it now.
The Pigott diamond, like the Regent
and the Hastings stones, was connected
with the Anglo-Indian scandals. An
English merchant finally sold it to ALI
Pasha, who treasured it nightly.
When mortally wounded he ordered
his favorite wife killed and the dia-
mond destroyed in his presence. He
would leave neither to another man.
The first order was not carried out,
but the second was obeyed, and that
diamond vanished from history.

LARGER SCHOOL BUILDINGS RE-
CURED.

Owing to the recent large infiuex Of
population into Western Canada it mas
become absolutely necessary in many
parts of Manitoba, A~ssiniEoia, Saskat-
chewan and Alberta to increase the
school accommodation. In many places
buildings have been erected that are
only half-occupied. This is perhaps as
good evidence as will be found not only
of their satisfaction with their pres
ent school system and their confidence
that it will remain as 1T is, but also OF
their firm belief in the future expansion
of the country, in increased immigra-
ton, and it further indicates that they
have little fear that the we'll estab-
lished rate of births in civilized COM
muniries will not be maintained there.
The free homestead laws and the cheap
railway lands offer great Inducements,
which are opening up the new settle
ments. Agents Of the Government of
Canada are actively ut work in differ
ent portions Of the States for the pur-
pose o. giving info. mat!cn to possible
settlers, and advertisements are now
appearing in Il largo rumbeT of papers,
giving the names and locations of these

Brigandage is nothing new In Bulga-
ria. The story of the capture of Miss
Stone, the missionary, recalls other re-
markable tales. The Balkan noun
tains have been the homes and haunts
of many brigands through centuries of
Bulgarian history. In the sixteenth
century a .ational movement against
the oppression of Turkey fell into the
hands of brigand chiefs. They were
known by the name of Haidutin. They
were represented as the friends of the
poor, the protectors of the weak, the
allies of Christians. and the foes of the
Mohammedans. In legends and in songs
their names AMI fame were perpetual
ed. They increased from the ranks Of
the avengers and the worthless. Once
Identified with them, a brigand's safety
consisted in continuing with them.
The Turks blocked the way to return
to the ranks of common citizenship.
Villagers often welcomed them as de-
l~lyerers from their oppressors.-Leslie's
