WHISPER OF THE CORN.

lave YOU lain beneath the cottonwood
and drunk the charmed air
In some quiet country corner on
grand. fresh August morn,
While the tinkle Of the distant bells
made mellow music rare
And heard the tall shesths stirring in
the whisper of the cornf
Have you felt the inspiration of the
meadow lark's clear note
As it flung care free anthem from
some height beyond our bourne,
While the rudy god, Olympus, set MS
million beams ahoat,
Till we almost saw the spirits as they
whispered In the corn!
Did you ever in the great world nave
dream 80 sweet and pure,
Such vision in the cloudland with not
one dark dread forlorn-
Where the future was all glowing, hks
the sunrise on the n1oer,
And your blood ran fast with fancy at
the whisper Of the corn?
We can well-nlgh see the landscape OF
the days Of long ago,
wondrous near the quaint old farm
house and our hopes that met no
scorn-
Though the lamp of life be fading ana
the light Is turned down low,
Mem'ries thrill MS as we listen to the
whisper of the corn.

STORY OF A DIAMOND.
How 1t Increased IN Value as 1t Was
Passed On to New Owners.

How 1t Increased In Value ~ 1t Was
Passed On TO New Owners.
The manner IN which objects OF
value rise and fall in price according
to The wants, needs and desires OF buy
er and seller Is strikingly illustrated
in the following story related to
Washington Post reporter by Wash
ington diamond merchant and broker.
He said.
About six months ago a woman in
straltened circumstances entered a To-
cal pa wnshop and, borrowing a pair of
scissors, pried an exceedingly beauti-
full one and one-half carat diamond
from the setting In her ring and pawn
ed 1t for $50. At the end Of the thirty
days, falling to redeem the stone, II
was placed on sale for the sum of $50.
[ came along few days later and see
Ing the gem purchased 1t. 1t was a
most perfect diamond. both as to brill
llancy and cut, and was well worth
500 to any one. | had no money
with me at the time, but my credit be-
ing good. | took the diamond, which
was placed In small pill box. On my
way home | dropped into the shop of
another and somewhat more prosper
GUS pawnbroker, whom | requested to
weigh the stone for me. The minute
he sew 1t he was immensely pleased
and offered me $3.50 for it then and
there. | considered n few minutes,
as the prospect of getting more for 1t
doomed up temptingly before my men
tai vision, but when | came TO think
of how easy It was for me TO pick up
500 In less than two blocks l accept
ed the offer, took the money, retraced
my steps, paid the first pawnbroker
his $50 and went on my way rejoicing
with the 500 profit. Well, in the
course of week or two well-known
New York drummer came 10 the city
and seeing the stone which | had sold
for $3.50, purchased 1t for $3.50. Later
In the day he came to my place and
after selling me some stones WAS
about to depart. when, turning, he
said:
IN, ny luc way 4 NhhA " shoH
YOU beautiful stone that | purcha sed

knockdown bargain, too paid only $3.50
| for 1t. I'm just as sure to sell 1t for
$3.50 as the sun Is to shine and with
that he opened his case, and there, TO
my surprise lay the very diamond |
had purchased for $50 and had sold
for $3.50. | asked him where he
bought 1t, etc, thus confirming the
fact that it was the same stone l had
handled few weeks before. The day
following he went to a local diamond
dealer, who, it appeared. wanted Just
such a stone, and who paid him the
$500 for It. To-day that diamond is In
the enga cement ring of a very pretty
girl. who is now married and whose
| husba nd, who at the time he purchased
1t was her lover, paid $500 for the
stone alone. This was the most strik-
Ing case OF thing increasing In value
that ever came to my notice, and yet
1t simply shows how an unusually
good, rare and perfect thing Will rise
In price when somebody wants 1t bad

the diamond got 1t cheap, 1t was
cheap at $500"

Making Gold From Slate.

Merlin. Ore. Aug 81. La Rix.
chemist and metallurgist. has made
silver from gold and developed new
metal from slate from which he ex-
poets to produce gold. From
his notes., which were scanned by the
government inspectors. it seems he
has developed a new metal from COM
mercial slate, abundant here. which
has an affinity for the atom of gold
and silver. which he calls 'rixum. Z"
The theory he has been working upon
is the disintegration of the atom into
unit ions and the subtraction from
gold and the addition of rixum ions
to the silver atom.
The process consists of a strcng
acid solution combined with powerful
electric currents and long exposures
to their action, causing the destruc-
tion of a portion of the ions in the
atom by electrical conveyance into
similar solution of rixum.
