There is a vast difference between

How to Make the Eyelashes Grov,

Now that so much lace and frills and
picture hats are in vogue, long, droop-
ing eyelashes are necessity. So prev
alent is the demand for long eyelashes
that especial treatment is now neces-
sary for their development. Warm
milk, applied with a soft came's hair
brush, is very beneficial. also clipping
the extreme tips of the lashes with
tiny sharp scissors. Avoid rubbing or
touching the lids with the iugers.
Many women have the habit OF sub-
bling their eyes, which is a harmful
practice, as it makes the growth c.
hair very sparse.

How to Avoid Washing cults.

A good device to save washing com
forters and quilts is to haste across
the top end facing, a quarter of

other material The facing may be
taken off and washed frequently.

wheat Seeding.

In regard to wheat the Oklahoma
experiment station finds, first, the
application of barnyard manure will in
crease the yield materially; second,
thorough cultivation should not be
overlooked; third, the selection of good
seed is an important consideration.
A plan Of experiment in seeding has
been to make seeding the 18th of Sep
TENDER for early seeding, the 18th of
October for medium seeding and the
18th of November for late seeding. Red
Russian wheat was used in the expert

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

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 not
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 ayoirdupois,
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 world
which has substituted diamonds for
the beads and wampum of it's ances-
tors.
The regions contributing to this sup
ply and the percentage Of their con
tribution appear as follows: South
Africa, 81.5 per cent; Brazil, Is 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
clety, 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, it
would make load for medium-sized
freight car.

TIRZAH'S CHIMNEY.

Since that time the two had hardly

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 nreparations for that rather du-
hious festival The smallest hen from
her flock was curled up ready for
ron sting 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
snice cake. while plate of mealy tarts
was waiting patiently the filling or
crane Jelly to be theirs on the NOR
row.
Mover before, at that season of the
year, had Tirzah's hens been laying
so well.
Her cow had never been known to
give so large a yield of milk. Ihere
we're three new kittens in the basket
behind the kitchen stove, and her ca

was not satisfied.
She had heard that day that the
widowed cousin, who usually kept
house for Solomon Green, had unex-
pectedly married.

being divided according to the ancient
plan of all South American cities, into
cuadras or squares, with endless
straight streets which have the one
advantage, 1t seems, during the spells
Of revolutions, of letting the govern
ment make a clean sweep OF the rebels
with the aid of artillery, or the other
guns first. In the older parts the streets
are narrow and always treeless, but
the newer thoroughfares have the APP
pearance of European boulevards. The
houses were Originally all built accord
ing to a prevalent one-story type but
with the rise In the value of property
and the increase Of business, houses
ranging from three TO six stories have
been going up In the central part of the
city. All the streets and public squares
are splendidly kept and well lighted,
and there are number Of beautiful
parks which have been laid out with
seeming disregard of the cost.
Few people in the United States are
aware that this Is a city of almost
million inhabitants, with the area Of
Paris, and that 1t recalls in its immense
business activity some Of the large
cities of North America. AS metrop-
oils, however, Buenos Ayres Is an
anomaly. 1t will be recalled that the
great source of wealth of the Argen-
tine nation lies in It's wheat and corn
fields, It's enormous herds Of cattle and
sheep, and the expectation of meats,
hides and wool. But, owing to the
absence Of workable coal and iron
mines and the impossibillty Of exploit
ing the forests OF soft woods because
OF their distance from the ways of
communication, there are practically
no articles manufactured in the Argen-
tine.
A few factories are kept alive by a
high tariff, but they are looked upon
as dollhouse plants hardly capable of
prolonged existence. Buenos Ayres
thus represents cosmopolitan con-
glomerate occupied In exporting what
the interior of the country produces,
and In importing what 1t cannot man
ufacture. The city Is thus a national
luxury made up of non-producing con-
sumers, an all-absorbing center which
has done nothing but grow until II rep
resents the life Of the nation at the
expense OF all other towns.-New York

PRESERVING STANDARDS.

The one-hundred-foot rule in TraHal-
car Square, London, which is the
standard of length for all countries
that use the English system of meas
nres of length, is to be replaced. SAYS
the London Globe, by one better hous-
standard, which has been copied in
steel by the government of the United
states, is bronze strip inlaid in gran
ito. It is liable to slight inaccuracy
because it is exposed to variations in
the atmosphere. 1t has stood in its
present site since 1876.
The requirements for a standard of
this sort are a long, level, dry plot
protected from wilful damage and
from changes in the air, and yet ac-
cessble to the public in such d way
that workers can compare measures
with it undisturbed by idlers West
Minister Hall is said to be ideal for
the purpose. The new standard will
be subdivided to the thousandth parr
of an inch.
The greatest care is used in preserv-
ing the various standards. but none
are more closely guarded than the
British yard and pound. They are
kept immured in the wall of the stair
case leading to the upper waiting
room of the House of Commons. Every

screws and sealed. The gun-metal
yard is placed on eight rollers in a
mahogany box, and both boxes are
then put in a lead case, and the cover
is soldered. This is put in an oak
chest which is screwed tight, and de-
posted in a cavity in the wall. The
aperture is then cemented up to re-
main closed for twenty years more.
In spite of all precautions, the in
spection of 1892 disclosed minute var
iations in both standards, but they are
believed to have been due to slight in
accuracies in the computations in 1872.

A thought lntruded itself upon her
which she considered in the light of
a secret crime. Over and over again,
despite herself, she rehearsed Solo

Five minutes later the dark plot was

about her preparations for the night
with cheeks that burned with fires she
had thought long since gone out for

The following morning more aston

Something, certainly, had gone wrong.
Six o'clock came, and the stable door
was not opened by the brisk mistress.
Half-past six, and still no fire in the
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 fluttering between shame and
dread, while her eyes watched with
fevered anxiety the house just up the
