FELL FROM THE eKIEs.
Theory That Precious Stones Came {,
Earth as Meteorites.

Diamonds from the skies, conveyed
to earth In meteorie showers, is a the
Dry first preached by Meydenhauer
Gays the Chicago Inter-Ocean. The dia
nond, he says, can be of cosmic origin
only, having fallen as a meteorite at
a late period of the earth's formation
The localities where diamonds are
found contain the residues of not very
compact meteoric masses which may
have fallen in historic ages and pene.
trated more or less deeply according
20 the more or less resistant charac.
ter of the surface where they fell.
The most striking confirmation OF
the theory comes from Arizona. Here
On q bread plain over an area about
i've miles in diameter were scattered
900 to 1000 masses of metallic iron,
The fragments weighing from half a
ton to O. fraction of an ounce. There
IS little doubt these masses formed
part Of a meteoric shower, although
no record exists as to when the fail.
took place. C~uriously enough, neal
the center where most OF the meteor
ties have been found is a crater with
ragged edges, th~ree-quarters of a mile
In diameter and about GOO feet deep
bearing exactly the appearance which
would be produced had a mighty mass
OF iron or fallen star struck the
ground, scattering in all directions
and buried itself under the surface
DR.. Foote in cutting a section of this
meteorite, found the tools were in
jured by something vastly harder thar
metallic iron. He examined the speci
men chemically and soon after an
nounced to the scientific world that
the Arizona meteorite contained blacA
and transparent diamond. This dis
covery was verified by Professors
Friedel and Noissan, who found thai
it contained three varieties of carbon
diamond, graphite and amorphous car
bon.

A Large Cotton Crop-Lower Prices.

II begins TO appear as If the supply
of cotton this year will be fully equal
to all requirements, and the cotton
planters of the South will doubtless act
wisely in selling the cotton they have
raised just as promptly as 1t a be
brought to market.
The U. s. Government in its report
on the cotton crop, issued on the Sd of
September, makes the condition of the
crop SD. This is 17.2 per cent. better
than the report at the same time last
year, and the acreage shows an in
crease of about four per cent. This is
q total of twenty-one per cent. over last
years indicated production, which is
the equivalent of about 100000 bales
Of cotton. The indicated crop is, there
fore, somewhere in the neighborhood
of 13,G00,0 900 bales, and while it is pos
sible that an early frost or bad wealth
er may diminish these figures slightly
a crop of at least 100000 bales
or over seems probable. Such a crop if
realized undoubtedly means much low
or prices. 1t is TO be hoped that the
cotton planters of the South will not
be misled by false prophets into hold
ing their cotton, but that they will. on
the contrary, sell it as rapidly as it
II in. Nearly all authorities are
confirmatory of the Government
figures. Mr.. Theodore H. Price, the
well-known expert, makes the condi-
ton eighty-three and the crop 1900.
900 bales, and the figures of the New
York Journal of Commerce indicate
about the same conclusion.
The truth seems to be that the alb.
normally high prices to which cotton
advanced during the spring and sum
mer. although they proited planters but
little, as the crop was practically all
marketed before these prices were re
allied, have greatly stimulated plant
ing and production i'll every direction.

HIS FIRST WlFE'S VIRTUES
Second wife Tired Of Them ant
Showed One of Her Own.

NV
eve have all heard of the man who
Is constantly telling his wife how
his mother used to do things, and most
wives, principally because others be
fore them-their grandmothers and
mothers-have stood it, consent to do
so, too" said an F street lawyer. But
when 1t m to the thing OF being
reminded of the first wife's virtues at
every turn you make, it must be an
other matter-a fact which was forci-
bly, Illustrated by a client of mine In
court. The mi had been arrested
under the charge Of d~isorderly con-
duct, and Immediately sent for me. l
was at once acquainted with the facts,
and experienced little difficulty in hav-
Ing the charge dismissed with only a
light fine. In explaining her conduct
she said:
Its always you don't cook like
my first wife, you don't wash and iron
like my first wife; fact is, you don't
seem to catch on where she left off"
stood it as long as | could for peace's
sake, until n day my patience gave
out when the same old story of what
his first wife had done began, and
when he told me again that l did not
move around as Jane, the first wife,
had done, l was in the act of making
his bread, and l up with my rolling
pin and beat him over the head, tell
ing him l was now doing what Jane
had neglected to do
THE attitude of the court seemed to
agree with her. At any rate, the fine
was light, and from all accounts peace
reigns in the before unhappy domicile

Why Mary Did Not Sing,

An able, but easily embarrassed and
somewhat absent-minded young teach
2r was about to begin a singing lesson
day when a knock at the schoolroom
door interrupted proceedings. The
teacher went to the door and uShered
n a delegation from a prominent local
woman's club. When the ladies were
comfortably seated and each had as
sumed a critical, listening attitude the
teacher resumed the singing lesson. 1t
was one of her most stringent rules
of action that when company was
present everything should go on ex-
3ctly as usual.
One of her pupils, Mary Holmes, a
somewhat shy girl, had a good alto
voice, and the teacher was anxious
that she should display it to advan.
.tage.
Now, Mary" she said encouraging
ly, when l count four you be sure to
sing. Attention, children" raising
her baton. zone, two, three-ready-
sing!" The children sang Justify, but
Mary's alto voice was missing.
Il didn't hear your voice that time,
Mary. Remember, when l count four
you are to sing. Next verse, children!
One, two" Mary watched the mo-
lion of the teachers lips anxiously-
three! Ready-singr!' The children's
shrill treble rang out unaided by Mary's
strong alto.
Don't you feel like singing, Mary!
Try this verse, now-one, two, three.
Well, what is it,"
Mary had risen and wGs shyly twist
ing her fingers. please, Miss Brooks"
she said breathlessly, you told me to
sing when you counted four, and you

THIS HEN REARED KITTENS.
The Latter in Turn Adopted Traits of the
Hen.

Some years ago my attention was
called to n hen hat had adopted a litter
Of kittens. When / first saw them
they had got their eyes open. Every
day | spent an hour or more watching
the old hen and her strange family.
The hen would let the cat suckle the
kittens, but when they were through
she would drive the cat away and
hover over the family. The cat was
a tramp that fed with several others
on swill brought from the city for hens
and hogs. As far as / could see, the
eat was willing to let the hen real
her kittens. The whole affair seemed
natural, and was as intelligently ar
ranged as if it had happened to human
beings. l carefully noted the actions
of the old hen and kittens. The kittens
soon learned the calls of the hen, and
the hen certainly understood the calls
of the kittens. The hen would wander
into the bushes, scratching for insects,
which she ate without Offering them
to her adopted family. When the
kittens wanted rest and sleep they
made a thin cry, and the hen would
Immediately hover them. If they
wanted food their cries sounded to me
like the call to hover, but the hen
understood and she led them to the
milk dish. If the dish was empty. she
led them to the hen yard and looked
for bits of meat or bread. If she failed
to find food, she went to the house
door and called until some one of the
cat deserted her family, the hen would
lead the kittens to a fat ledge, where
the cats summed themselves. The cat
usually hunted up the hen in the early
days for a relief from an overflow of
milk. Several times l saw the hen
hunt for the cat when the kittens were
hungry. When the cat weaned the kit
tens, the hen seemed to understand
that she must look to the family for
food.
| noticed that the kittens as they be-
came older failed to play like kittens
taught by a mother cat, and their
voices remained weak and thin. In
many ways they showed a lack OF
cat teaching. On the other hand. they
adopted some of the ways of the hen.
They would scatter like chickens, and
would scratch in imitation of the hen.
| did not see them eat the insects
which they found, excepting grass
hopperS. Mr.. Parsons was a practical
man and wanted eggs, so he killed the
kittens. If l had known what he intend
ed to do | should have offered to buy
the lot for further study. l remember
that | sent Forest and Stream an ac-
count of this case-I think a clipping
from a local paper. The intelligence
Of the cat, hen and kittens. under
strange conditions, was so evident that
a dull observer could not make a mis-
take. The cat reasoned that the hen
would take good care of her family
and she was contented, like some
human mothers that give their babies
away. The hen understood fully that
the kittens would not eat the insects
which she found and reasoned that she
must look for food in another direction

Music Heard in Moro.

Moro music is strangely unrhythmi-
eal to European ears. says a writer in
Everybody's Magazine. 1t consists
of a monotonous reiteration of
sound, even a supposed change of air
being almost imperceptible to an ear
unaccustomed to the barbarous lack
Of tone. The Moro piano is a wooden
frame shaped like the runners of a
sled, on which small kettle
drums are balanced by means of cords
and sticks laid horizontally. These
resemble pots for the kitchen
range than musical instruments, but
is roughly tuned, forming the
notes of the scale. Women
crouching on the ground before this
Instrument beat out a wailing sound
from it with shaped sticks, while from
kettle-drums, hung by ropes
from a wooden railing at one side, two
accompanied the piano, and one
Did woman in the background drummed
out an independent air of her own on
