The Thief of Time

The Emperor Of Germany is a stric,
disciplinarian, and his power makes
the penalty for being lax in his ser.
vice severe and without appeal. For
some time, says an English paper. he
noticed that his barber came ALWAYS
few minutes late. Finally the EN-.
peror gave the delinquent a fine gold
chronometer, and urged him to use IT
Strangely enough, the barber con.
tinued to be late, and after waiting in
vain for signs of improvement, the
emperor said to him at last:
Have you still the chronometer 7
gave your"
Yes, your majesty, here it is" re-.
piled the barber, taking it from his
pocket.
"Give it to me-" said the emperor
1T is evidently Of no use to you, and
you may have this one instead"
So saying, he placed the handsome
gold chronometer on his dressing.
table, and handed the amazed barber
nickel-plated watch worth about five
shillings.

Tom Nolan.

Counselor Tom Nolan Of the New
York bar figures in many good stories,
which have been collected in volume.
and from which the New York Sun
reproduces q few:
Once when he had failed to win a
case for poor woman, he became
oratorical and lamented the lack of
justice in the world. me poor client, "
he said, sis little likely to get Justice
done her until judgment day"
well, Mr.. Nolan" said the court,
IF l have opportunity, I'll plead for
the poor woman myself on that day."
Your honor replied Nolan, may
have troubles of your own on that
day"
Mr.. Nolan was once retained by the
defendant in a suit at law brought to
recover payment of gas bill, in which
a witness for the plaintiff was asked:
ION what evidence do you conclude
that sixteen thousand seven hundred
and forty feet of gas had been burned
during the month by the defendant?"
ION the evidence of the gas-meter."
was the answer.
At this the barrister impulsively ex-
claimed, II wouldn't believe a gas
meter under oathv'

There's good many queer things

he explained his method. L take the
old mems traits and give 'em to old
ladies' he said, and if there's a
naughty girl l turn her into little
boy, and any middle-aged folks make
into young ones Then lay the scene

hear such talk as that in all your
days? But they tell me his books sell

"WashinRn the Streets Of Kimberley
for Precious Stones. 81. F.

| "WashinEn the Streets Of Kim bsr1eJ
/ for Precious Stones. B.
Before the consolidation of these
mines into one vast concern there were
scores of small miners who had not the
necessary capital to enable them to dc
more than scratch at the surface ofIthe
earth. Arrived at certain depth, the
ground fell in upon them, and working
became an impossibility. Then 1t was
that powerful company, with unlim.
tied capital, became a necessity, and
| the De Beers Company absorbed all
these small concerns. Now, by scien'
tile means, mining is carried on to
depths of over 1000 feet from the
earth's surface, and the diamonds are
sorted out by mechanical means in a
| systematic manner, which was before
impossible. Since De Beers took the
matter in hand they have applied their
methods to the debris left behind as
worthless by the earlier workers, and
In it they have found more diamonds
then had previously been taken out.
On the strength of this, applications
have been made, and the rights grant
ed, for individuals to wash the
streets of Kimberley, for much of the
debris in question had been used in re-
pairing and making the roads. This
washing is going on now with most ex-
cellent results, which proves that this
city Is literally paved with diamonds.
Kimberley, which has in the space Of
thirty years evolved itself out Of min
ing camp, Is now, as compared with
other places, an oasis in the desert of
South African discomfort; place
where the cost of living is high, as it
Is elsewhere just now, but where, at
all events, some sort of return for your
money In the way of creature comforts
is ohtainable. This Is very rare in
South Africa to-day.
1t Is interesting to note how the
''bloated capitalist" in question sweats
his employees, as Is so often averred
At the company's mines work goes on
for twentyfour hours a day in three
shifts. White men who go below make
anything from 10 shillings to f2 a day,
and the black "boy" is paid 5 shillings
per day. He Is allotted a certain task,
and when this is done he is free. In
practice 1t is found that he can often
do this in from three to five hours, SO
that out of the twenty-four he has from
nineteen to twenty-one hours to him

Although Anthony Trollope never

the Cosmopolitan Club to the late Lord
Carnarvon, Lord Derby, Froude, the
historian, Lord Wolseley, and one or
two others equally famous, on the fu-

discussion Trollope fell asleep, and af-
ter a quarter of an hours doze he
awoke, shaking himself together like
the faithful, growing Newfoundland
dog he so much resembled. D1ssentient
even in his Inconsistencies, he splut-

how was he to release himself? If he
touched the wrong spring the fatal ak

visitors, led by an attendant, came on
the scene. The guide was a bit of lin
gulst, and saw an opportunity, with
himself as master of the situation. He
at once began practical lecture on the
guillotine, interrupting his remarks
with little asides in French to the in

louder or writhe more agonizingly.

gratified onlookers. Finally the Paris

Roach "made allowances for "Eben,"

counselor and friend at school. In busi-

Government Whitawash.

lie government recipe for white
wash, which is used on lighthouses
and other government buildings where
Whitewash is required, Is said to be
the best formula there is. 1t is as fol-
lows: Put two pailfuls Of boiling
water in a barrel and add one-half
bushel of well burned fresh uuicklime.
Put in quickly one peck of common
salt dissolved in hot water and cover
the barrel tightly to keep In the steam
while the lime is Stacking. When the
violent bubbling is over, stir until well
mixed together, and if necessary add
more boiling water, so as to have the
mass like thick cream. Strain through
a sieve or coarse cloth Make O thin
starch of three pounds of rice -four
and one pound Of strong glue, having
first soaked the glue in cold water
and to the latter mixture add two
pounds of whiting. Add this to the
lime wash and also sufficient hot wa
ter to dilute to the proper consistency.
Keep hot while applying. 1t will re-
quire about six-quarts of mixture to
one hundred square feet Of surface
and 1t may be made any color desired.
