TIRZAH'S CHIMNEY.

liz Green had asked Tirzah Hitch
cock to become the second Mrs
Green, she had tartly refused the hon.
or. IL amt much of a beauty" she
had told him, "but no warmed-over af-
lection fur me, thank you, Solomon
Green"
Solomon had reasoned all in vain.
"Why, Tirzah," he pleaded, lit amt
no ways natural fur wimmen to live
alone. Every mornin' your chimbly is
the furst thing 1 look at, am if wasn't
to see the smoke a-comin' out of it,
I'd be scared to death thinkin' you was
robbed, or killed, or sunthin.
whats the us in us keepin' up
two houses, when one would do jest
as well?
Since that time the two had hardly
exchanged a dozen words. Solomon
had not married neither had Tirzah,
and now, on the night before her for
tieth birthday. she sat looking around
her orderly little home with the most
desolate feeling at her heart she had
known for years.
Tomorrow would be her birthday.
Mechanically she had gone through a
few preparations for that rather du-
bious festival. The smallest hen from
her flock was curled up ready for
roasting inside the same pan in which
her hens had been roasted for the last
fifteen years. A green apple pie sat
on the pantry shelf beside sour cream
spice cake, while plate of mealy tarts
was waiting patiently the filling of
grape jelly to be theirs on the NOR
row.
Never before, at that season of the
year, had Tirzahs hens been laying
so well.
Her cow had never been known to
give so large a yield of milk. There
were three new kittens in the basket
behind the kitchen stove, and her ca
nary bird was the loudest singer In all
the village. But for all this Tirzah
was not satisfied.
She had heard that day that the
widowed cousin, who usually kept
house for Solomon Green, had unex-
pectedly married.
OF course, this was nothing to Tfr-
zah. but still-here she smiled two or
three times. and then, without a par
ticle of explanation to the astonished
cat who had come forth demanding
her allowance of milk, sat down In her
cane-seated rocker and burst out cry
ing.
For five minutes she cried. and then

TONS OF BRIGHT GEMS.
The Worlds Supply of Diamond
Weighs 100000 Carats.

J The Worlds Supply of Diamonds
Weighs 100000 Carats.
1t is estimated that the total world
production of diamonds up to date ap-
proximates 100000 carats, says the
Baltimore American. AS we are non
in the habit of weighing our diamonds
by the ton, we are in some doubt con-
corning the proper system of compu-
tation, whether troy or avoirdupois,
long ton or short ton. According to
the system used by those who do
weigh their diamonds in ton quaint
ties, the result would be in the neigh
borhood of twenty or twenty-five tons
of sparklers now appearing as factors
in the joys and miseries of a world
which has substituted diamonds for
the beads and wampum of its ances-
tors.
The regions contributing to this sup
ply and the percentage of their con-
tributlon appear as follows: South
Africa, S1.5 per cent; Brazil, 10 per
cent, and the remaining 3 per cent
divided among BorneO India, New
South Wales and British Guiana, with
North America and Russia supplying
specimens. The last two of these
countries have furnished just about
enough to equip an opera box for a
single evening. The deep obligation of
society to South Africa is fully appar-
ent. The price of diamonds has been
heavily advanced during the last year
or two, but it is simply appalling to
think what the price would have been
without the South African supply. So
ciety, American, English and continent
al. should daily thank heaven for Kim
berley and Jagersfontein.
We are unable to give the cubic
measurement of the total collection.
but, so far as weight is concerned, 1t
would make load for a medium-sized
freight car.

she dropped her apron and looked
guiltily about
A thought intruded itself upon her
which she considered in the light Of
secret crime. Over and over again
despite herself she rehearsed Solo
mon's's proposal; each word as it had
been spoken, until, suddenly, like the
handwriting upon the wall, there stood
forth these words: Every morning

at"
Had he meant it? Did he still turn
his eyes with the coming of the morn
ing light down the little hill which lay
between them? Did her lonely chin
ney still claim his thoughtful care?
Five minutes later the dark plot was
formed, and Miss Tirzah was hurrying
about her preparations for the night
with cheeks that burned with fires she
had thought long since gone; out for
ever.
The following morning more aston
ished creatures there could not be than
were the kittens, cat, COW, hens and
canary of Miss Tirzah Hitchcock.
Something, certainly, had gone wrong.
Six o'clock came, and the stable door
was not opened by the brisk mistress.

kitchen stove. Seven O'Clock. and no
breakfast yet for the mistress and her
indignant dependents.
Loud and angry rose the protest of
Brindle from her snug stall, while the
old cat and canary did their best to stir
things up inside.
Meanwhile, hidden by the parlor cur
tains, crouched Miss Tirzah, wrapped
in a huge red and green shawl, her
heart fiuttering between shame and
dread, while her eyes watched with
fevered anxiety the house just up the
hill.
Oh, how pitifully foolish now looked
her deep-laid scheme, when faced in
the broad light of day.

ago, to watch her chimney.s What

fire or not? She would go this very
