HOPE NEVER VAIN.

perhaps today is a dismal day,
With never a joy in sight;
But tomorrow may dawn in splendid
way
And scatter your woes in fight.
Tomorrow may come with blessings rare
To lay at your feet, and you
May wonder why men sit down in despair
When the world is so fair to view.
Perhaps there is sorrow within your heart,
AS you struggle along today;
But tomorrow may rend the clouds apart
And fortune may turn your way.
Hope on, for hope is never in vain;
Though tomorrow be dark and drear,
Each hope of today is a precious gain
To help till the skies are clear"

LOOK PLEASANT.

We cannot. of course, all be handsome,
And it's hard for US all TO be good;
We are sure now and then to be lone
ly,
And we don't always do as we should.
To be patient is not always easy,
To be cheerful is much harder still;
But at least we can always be pleasant,
If we make up our minds that we will
And it pays every time to be kindly,
Although you feel worried and blue;
If you smile at the world and look cheer
full
The world will smile back at you.
So try to brace up and look pleasant,
No matter how low you are down,
Good humor is always contagious,
But you Danish your friends when you
frown.

NEW D|AMOND. FIELDS
Rich Discoveries Being Made in the
 Transvaal in South Africa.
How the First Gem Was Discovered Cutie by accident-W De- veIopnlent since the CEose
 of the War.

Almost exactly two years before the | outbreak of the South African war, he Pretoria diamond fields were Giscoy- cred by young Oscar Schuller, son of a well-known Johannesburg jeweler, MT. w. C. Schuller. Schuller pere was the leaseholder of the mineral rights of the farm Rietfontein, about 20 miles east of Pretoria, on the Delagoa Bay railway. This particular farm, of which Mir P. Van der Nerve was the lucky owner. was purchased 90 years ago by Dom Piet's father one of the old Voor- trekkers, for half-a-crown. The size is 10000 acres, as can be verified by a reference to the deeds registry in Pre- toria. MT. Schuller had prOspected in vain for years on this farm for cinnabar and coal. One day in August, 1897, his son kicked over an out-heap, from which a dazzling crystal rolled out. That crystal was the first diamond dis covered in the Pretoria fields, and Schuller pere has had the reward of his perseverance since then in a very tan- gible manner
 During the prospecting of the two dia- mondiferous pipes discovered on Riet- fontein, and known as the Schullcr mines, 3S,o12 loads of ground have been washed, producing 12,655 carats of dia- monds, of which a portion sold before the war realized close on S50,000 The yield was roughly 8 carats to the hum dred loads which must be considered very satisfactory, although the direct ors believe that the actual result was

The first pipe contained a peculiarly hard blue ground which was found to be devoid of lime, and there fore refused to disintegrate as the Kim berley blue does after being exposed on the floors to the atmosphere This pipe was consequently abandoned. But for tunately second pipe was discovered within quarter of mile. and has the proper soft blue tested by bore to a depth of 600 feet
 At Johannesburg the discovery of the Pretoria diamond fields was at first re- ceived with pessimism and disbelief The bona fides of the new fields was dis credited to such an extent that lead ing Rand paper did not scruple to al lege that parcel of 2C00 earats which Kimberley short time before, had re- appeared in the Schuller mine.
 But surprises were in store for the doubters. The year of 1898 saw the pre- cious carbon crystal discovered on the farm Bynestpoort, two hours journey north of Schuller, and on half a dozen other farms; all these discoveries be- ing capped in December, 1902-the war having disorganiZed operations for nearly three years-by the locating of the now famous Premier mine on the farm Elandsfontein. The company owning this farm as freehold paid $275. = 000 fer it, without being permitted to put spade or pick into the ground by way of prospecting or Examination. The capital of the proprietary company is $400,000, and the 8 shares are now quoted in Johannesburg at $165 It is only seven months since the mine was found, but there is sufficient evidence to-day that there is in this discovery what will probably prove to be the greatest diamond bearing crater ever known The directors of the Premier mine have had no reason to keep the results since the commencement of op- erations from the public.
