A story that is now going the
rounds is laid to the door of a
piQuant and dainty little French lady
who was more or less in evidence at

the situation lies in the extreme dif-
fidence of the French woman. She
is sensitive TO the point of a double

ty to err in a foreign tongue, she was
generally careful to make selection of

PRIVILEGES Of a Peer.

advantages over q commoner. Every

serve on jurles. Then q peer can
demand a private audience with the

talk with his sovereign over any mat
ter of urgent public Importance. In
courts OF Law a peer need not pay
any attention to the cry OF Hats on.

Value Of Black Diamonds.

Carbons. or black diamonds, are
chiefly used in drilling for mining de-
posits-that is, in prospecting work
They have a combination of hardness
and toughness possessed by no other
material. They are used TO point the
steel bits used in rock boring by the
prospector. They are found only in
Brazil. where the natives collect them
along the river beds. The finest grade
costs the consumer about $42 carat
and 1t is said that anything offered for
q lower price should be looked upon
with suspicion, as certain dealers have
become very expert in coloring imper-
feet stones and otherwf treating
them SO that even an expert cannot de-

VOLCANIC DUST A FERTILIzEE
Theories of Scientists Disproved by
ST. Vincent Eruptions.


St. Vincent Eruptions-
There is one remarkable fact in con-
nection with the recent volcanic erup-
tions in the West Indies, which tends
to disprove the statement of certain
scientists that volcanic dust is not n
fertilizer, namely: that in the gardens
in Kingstown, St. Vincent, where vol
! canic dust has fallen many inches
deep, there has rarely been such a
splendid show of flowers. They have
come out in a wonderful way, so that
every one remarks it 1t is recorded
that after the eruption of 1912 the
quantity of produce on the estate was
unprecedented. AS illustrating how
suddenly death came during the erup-
ton. it is stated tnat in some houses
in St. Vincent people were found still
sitting round their tables at tea. One
man had a smile on his mouth, and
had evidently died with a word on his
lips. Another had pipe in his mouth
