TALE OF AN UNLUckY DIAMOND.
Famous African Stone Which Has a
History of Blood.

SuperstitiouS persons now claim
that the misfo-t mes which have be-
fallen Mr.. Kruger, the former presi.
dent of the Transvaal, during the last
few years were in large measure
due to a diamond, and here are the
reasons why they are of this opinion.
Chaka, a famous Zulu chief, was the
first owner of this diamond, and after
his death by assassination. it passed
into the hands of his assassin who
was his own brother. Soon after
ward this brother was in turn assas
sinated by another chief of the tribe,
and in this way the precious stone
changed hands again. 1t was dcstin
ed, however, not to remain long IN
the hands of any Zulu, for the records
show that within a few years it be-
came the property of thirteen chiefs,
each of whom held power for a short
time and then was killed by some am.
bilious rival. The stone was then In
trusted to a committee composed OF
prominent Zulus, whose duty Il was
to guard it against thieves.
Meanwhile the Beers had heard OF
this wonderful diamond, and with the
object of obtaining possession of it
several of them marched into the
Zulu country. A fierce battle follow
ed in which 800 Zulus we're killed. but
the diamond was saved by Zulu
who hid it in a gaping wound which
! had been made by a ball from q
musket. The Beers, therefore. did
not get it on that occasion but soon
afterward they did, for they captured
the Zulu who had hidden it. and a.
President Kruger promptly set HIN
as a token of his gratitude.
at liberty he presented the diamond
No one knows whether "Oom Paul
still has the diamond or not. Who
ever has it is the possessor of a bea,l-
tiful and costly stone, for it weighs
over 200 carats.-Washingto Times.

salad served in the fruit cup may be
elaborated with onion juice and
mayonnaise dressing, a spoonful of the
latter being heaped on the top of each

are mixed TO advantage with the to-

endless variety. For foundation ma

salads tomatoes, green peppers and
olives are. above all others, the most

salad that is always attractive and
toothsome consists simply Of tomato
pulp moistened with French dressing
and arranged on bed of white lettuce
leaves. A spoonful of mayonnaise
dressing may be used on the top Of

may or may not be mixed with the
tomato pulp.

most simple of all salad dressings, It is

A Year Saved in Strawberries.

By setting the plants in August
practically year is saved in growing
strawberries, is the opinion of ]. w.
Adams, the nurseryman and small
fruit grower of this city The New
England Homestead says that for
years Mr.. Adams has made a practice
of setting pot-grown plants in midsum,
mer on land from which he has taken a
crop of early vegetables. Almost the
entire seasons cultivation of the
strawberry plants is saved in this way.
Plants are set in solid beds one foot
apart, and between every four rows is
left two-foot space for path. When
set at this time they do not put out
runners, or if any are started. they are
pinched off and plants allowed to
make single hills. They gain good
foothold and make a strong growth and
the next season bear a profitable crop
of large. fine berries. In fact, the
fruit is larger than that grown with
the matted row system.
This year Mr. Adams has fruited sew
eral varieties, but Glen Mary and
Sample are the chief kinds. The
Sample he thinks, the most of, for
the berries are of large size, very
fine shape, bright scarlet in color, of
good flavor and solid. The foliage is
luxuriant and not subject to blight
or rust, and the plant is a good grow.
er. Glen Mary, which is earlier, pro
duces berries somewhat longer IN
shape, trifie darker in color, not
quite as large, but in other respects
equal to the Sample. Mr.. Adams has
strain of Crescent, which is fully az
productive as this old variety was in
its prime. The berries. of course, are
not large, but they fill the baskets az
picking time. A few plants of the
President were fruited this year The
berries are large and round, with the
end indented, bright scarlet in colos,
sprightly in flavor, and rather coarse.

supplanting Sample or other good com
mercial sorts. Gibson is consider.
ably like the President in shape of
berry, except that the end is not In.
dented. 1t is very dark in color, but
does not ripen evenly. If left on the
plant until the berry is ripe under
meath, it becomes overripe where ex-
posed to the sun. Where the berries
are mulched heavily enough so as to
hold the stalks off the ground, they
ripen more uniformly. The Don
QuiUote is the earliest sort fruited, the
first berries being ripe May 90 1t is
of medium size, very sweet in flavor,
of good color, and a liberal yielder.
The foliage is rather scant.

lemon Juice is considered more desir-
able: A blend in vinegars is quite as
tasty" as in tea, if the best can be
obtained. An excellent combination
is half and half pure cider vinegar and
Tarragon. The Italians use a sour
chianti and dispense with the pepper.
For tomato salad dash of dry mus
tard is considered an improvement.
The oil should be pure and sweet.
Put the dry ingredients into a bowl
and drop the oil on them, stirring
vigorously and constantly with a
wooden spoon. Metal should never
be used in the concoction of a salad.
Then add the vinegar or lemon juice
little by little, and mix well. If just
a suspicion of garlic is desired, the
bowl of the spoon may be rubbed with
a Glove just before mixing. Authori-
ties differ as to whether the dressing
should be poured over the salad after
it is placed in bowl, or whether the
dressing should be put in the bottom
of the bowl, the leaves laid lightly on
top and then mixed with a lockwood
spoon and fork. Many housekeepers
prefer to make the French dressing
at table, by shaking it in bottle I'M
til it becomes an emulsion. This is
quickly and easily accomplished. after
which the salad is dress ed.

Facts for Our Farmers.

in Vermont is the invasion of the
tuber by the same fungus (phyto-
phthora) which causes the late blighx
or rust" of the leaves, says a writer
in the Connecticut Farmer The pop
ular idea of those who have observed
this association of the blight and the
rot is that the fungus causing the dis.
ease passes down the stem, but De
Barry advocated some 40 years ago that
the decay of the tuber resulted chiefly,
if not wholly, from the spores which
fall from the leaves to the soil, ana
this explanation has been accepted
by the later botanists generally.
While carrying on our spraying expert
ments last summer K occurred to us
to try the effect of spraying the soil
underneath the plants in certain I'M
sprayed rows where the blight was
developing. 1t seemed probable that
if the rot of the tubers results from
spores falling upon the soil such spray
ing would reduce the amount Ac.
cordingly, early in August nine rows
were set apart for this trial. The
soil was a gravelly loan, fairly we'll
drained, variety Delaware, planted
May Is. The plants had not been
sprayed up to this time, and there was
a sprinkling of blight evident on the
foliage of many of them, and. as the
results show, the spraying was de-
layed too late for the full protection
of any of the plants.

agricultural college tells how one
young man made money in conducting
a New England farm: Il have in mind
a young ana successful New Hamp-
shire dairyman, graduate from our
four years agricultural course, who
after graduation returned to his
fathers farm and in due course of
time has established for himself a
herd of 80 pure-bred Jerseys. He be-
gan this work with one COW and has
steadily followed the plan which he
adopted before taking up that work.
Eventually the father retired, selling
to the son the ancestral acres. Steadily
and surely the young man has con-
unued gradually increasing the size of
his herd and increasing the individual
productive capacity of the cows at the
same time. Last year the 30 cows
every one of which was bred and
raised on the farm, averaged him $40
pounds of butter per COW. Should you
meet him tomorrow he could tell Won
Just the amount of milk and butter
each one of those 80 COWS produced, as
well as the cost of food required to pro
duce it. He makes his own butter on
the farm, using the skim milk and but
termilk in raising his young stock and
pigs. His farm is one of those side
hill farms, such as is often found in
New Hampshire, but it is a model OF
neatness and one can feel a higher re-
gard for agriculture and dairying as a
business after having inspected its
various departments"

American Consul Satisfied.
Washington, Sept. 5.--Chekib Bey,
the Turkish minister called on Secre-
tary Hay yesterday to inform him he
had received from his foreign office
official advices to the effect that the
American consul at Beirut, Raondal,
was entirely satisfied with the meas
ures that Turkey have taken to pro-
tect life and property there and to
investigate and act with respect to
the Vice Consul Magelssen assault.
1t is matter of some comment
that there are only about 200 marines
with the European squadron, but
these, with the kavasses already in
the service of the delegation, and
with Turkish guards assigned TO
Minister Leishman, will, it is be-
lieved, prove sufficient for any emei-
gency likely to arise.
Turkish Waters" Defined.
The officials of the state depart
ment, commenting upon an item
from Paris saying that ships of for
eign powers would be sent to Turk
ish waters, stated that the United
States was not sending ships to Turk
ish waters. The term Turkish wat
ers" does not mean Constantinople,
they say, and while the whole east
ern portion of the Mediterranean
might be covered with war ships, it
was possible that none of them would
force the Dardanelles. After the Cri-
mean war a treaty was made, which
was followed by subsequent treaties,
which prohibits warships entering
the Dardanelles without the consent
of Turkey and Turkey must have the
assent of all the si~natory powers.
In 1868 Admiral Farragut, with the
flagship Franklin was invited and as
cended the Dardanelles and the pow
ers protested. Then it was determin-
ed that no war vessel could enter the
Dardanelles. There is a proviso, how
ever, that in case Turkey is at wal
with another power she might admit
the ships of friendly power. This, II
is said here, is directed at Russia.
In 1896, Turkey, under treaty, re
fused to allow either the Marblehead
or Bancroft, American warships, 10
enter the Dardanelles. Small ships
of other nations are allowed in the
Bosphorus, which have been sent
through the Dardanelles, but these
are called legation vessels and rated
of little importance. However, they
carry sailors which may be used fol-
legation guards at any time. 1t is be
lieved that in case the United States
desired to send a launch or small yes
.Sel with a guard for the American lie
CATION, Turkey would have the right
to admit them to the Dardanelles
without consulting and obtaining the
permission of the powers.

BRIGHT SIDE OF REFORMS.
Rev. o. r. Miller Discusses "Moral
Victories Won and Waiting"

At the Douglas Memorial M. E. Church
last evening Rev. o. r. Miller, field secre-
tary of the reform bureau, spoke on Moral
Victories Won and Waiting" He de-
scribed the object. past success and future
plans of the reform bureau.
The speaker took the bright side of re-
forms, and made the audience feel that the
world is growing better rather than worse.
He said that the primary object of-the
reform bureau is to secure the passage by
Congress OF important and much-needed
reform legislation along the line of tenn
perance, better Sunday observance, stricter
divorce laws, anti-gambling and anti
polygamy measures etc.
He said the bureau was working to secure
in the present Congress better Sunday
law for the District OF Columbia. Many Of
the small stores are open in Washington on
Sunday, he said, and they ought to be
closed. The bureau will also work to Sc
cure an anti-pOlygamy amendment to the
Constitution, also a bill to suppress liquor
selling at old soldiers homes; stronger
anti-gambling laws and an interstate
liquor bill to protect no license and prohibi-
ton territory against wholesale liquor
dealers shipping in liquor from other states
by express, and thus breaking down the
will Of the people where. they have driven
the saloons out.

gress.
