Americans are much interested in
he recent importation of a wonderful
lue diamond and speculation is rife
s to. the probable purchaser. The
hrgest and most valuable diamond in
he world, the Koh-I-Noor, is n Of
he crown jewels of Great Britain and
will be worn by Queen Alexandra at
Bhe coronation in June next. Besides
is great size, beauty and value, this
gem has had a history with which
romance has had something to do, and
Beas Of blood have been shed for It's
possession. It came into the possess
bion of the British crown as a part OF
the spoils of the conquest Of India and
1t will doubtless remain as n OF the
English royal jewels as long as the
empire shall last, for such jewels are
nalienable and can only be wrested
from Britain by force of arms, an
bvent that is exceedingly improbable

hat is authentic regarding it is Of
comparative recent date. 1t was in
1888 that its existence first came to

nogul court of the Rajah Jehanjir.
Jehanjir's grandson, Aurung-zeb
Eore the stone in his turban and
(anded it down to Shah Alum. This
monarch and his two successors were
murdered and the mogul empire was
asst going to pieces.
In 1849 a mutiny of two Sikh regi-
nents gave the English an excuse to
Interfere, and the Rajah Dhulip-Sing,
mere boy, was induced to sign a
reaty, which provided for the annexa-
ion of his dominion to the British
possessions and for the transfer Of the
lahore treasure to the East Indian
Company to reimburse it for the war
Expenses. There was a proviso that
he Koh-I-Noor should be presented

men; and that the death rate among
all married women over twenty-five
years of age is less than that among
unmarried women. The home being
the cornerstone of civilized life, soci-
ETY. is enriched by the multiplication
of homes, and impoverished when they
are not in normal proportion to the
total population. Only within the past
few years has worldwide attention
been drawn to the startling fact that
the well-being of a mighty nation is
menaced by the predominance of cell
bacy. More than half the men and
half the women of France are UNI
married. The foreign immigration
into France is today greater than the
natural increase of it's own people.
The excess of births over deaths in
any year among those many millions
amounts to only about one-half of the

prised a fifth of the European poula-

When Frenchmen Were Germans


The name Of France is derived from
the Franci, or Franks, people Of Ger
many who seized that part Of the
country nearest the Rhine and settled
there. Later ON they subdued Paris
and made that the royal seat Of their
increasing empire.
The origin Of other geographical
names is interesting and will serve to
enlighten us when we read of, for in
stance, Hibernia for Ireland. Hibernia
is said to be derived from a Pheni-
clan word meaning "farthest habita-
tion," there being no country known to
them west of Erin.
Portugal obtained it's name from Por-
to, the haven or port where the Gauls
landed their stores. This is Oporto,
called by the Portuguese 0 Porto fhe
port. The town was given as dowry
to Teresa when she married Henry de
Lorraine, who styled himself Earl of
Portugal because the place was known
as the portus GallOrum Ghe port of the
Gauls). The name was finally extend
ed to the whole country.
Russia took it's denomination from
the Rossi, or Russi, a. people Of the
south of Russia, who possessed them
selves of the country in the declining
days of the Greek empire. Being the
predominant inhabitants, they imposed
their name on all the rest.
