The finest specimens of engraving on
diamonds are the work of M. Bordinet

representing yataghan, of which the
GLADE is a slender diamond and the
handle ruby. Another is a large cir
cular stone on which pansy with its
foliage is engraved. In another case
the design is a knife made with two
diamonds. An. elaborate piece of
work is bicycle of which the wheels
are two circular diamonds. The
spokes are represented by lines en-
graved on the diamonds. A small hole
is pierced at each axle. Another dia-

Terrible Cost Of War

There can be no doubt that the
CHASTITY carnage at Sha-ho river has
excited a general feeling of horror
throughout the civilized world. Not
only has the slaughter been carried
out on a scale unknown to living man,
but all this hideous butchery has led
to absolutely nothing. After days and
nights of unceasing and unrclenting
fighting the Japanese, we are told,
have pushed the Russian army fifteen
miles further to the north. Is it sur
prising that people should be asking
what is the good of it? The advance
Of fifteen miles in mcasureless con-
tinent has been purchased by sacri-
fee of some 10000 men OH the part of
the victors and of the loss of an even
larger number of men by the Russians.
War Of this sort, offering as it does
prospect of indefinite bloodshed so long
as Japanese force can be mustered
against Russian one. presents a
spectacle which even to the most in
different and case-hardened must he
intolerable. The loss of life and the
torrent of human agony would be bad
enough in any case, but in the present
war they stand out with gloom

RESPECT FOR OLD AGE.
Nowadays One Must He Patient With
y lts Oddities 49,

Nowadays One Must Be Patient With
Its Oddities. s4 III
Il One often observes the impatience
with which young people of the kind
usually called "high.spirited" regard
the little oddities of those older with
whom they come in contact. Indeed,
it is with great effort that this impa-
tience is rendered, unapparent, and
often scarcely that.
There is respect which youth owes
age which must not be lost sight of.
and of course there is also respect
which age owes to youth. However.
youth is the time of growth and self
restraint, and it is quite easy to in
dulge the little foibles of those thirty
and forty years older than ourselves
by remembering that they are older
and that charity or love must be ex-
ercised toward everyone whom we
meet, young and old alike.
Bad-tempered people used to be re-
garded as something out of the ordi-
nary long ago, but nowadays VIC know
that self-control is the only thing
which makes for progression, and that
we must live up to our ideals and our
belief in what is the highest and best,
whatever the cost.
Regard for the oddities of those old
er than ourselves is part of that doc
trine, and must be lived Up to.-Phila-

forces are fighting for foreign terri
tory, and it is foreign soil which Japa.

with their blood. No question of patri-
otism or the defense of hearth and

sand? But this is not the only point
to be considered, nor perhaps the
most important. The abandonment of
two great states to the work of blood
shed is disaster to the world, which
sees the result of centuries of effort
thrown away, nor can Europe forget
that these events will be read through
out Asia as damning indictment Of
that Western learning and civilization
of which our ally is the latest expo
nent. Nothing is more horrible in the
whole chapter Of horrors than the
thoughtless self-complacency with
which certain Europeans have hailed
this bloody war as testimony to the
glory and greatness of the West

this on concave portions, as on the

AN INVITING PROSPECT.

Will Canada in the next quarter of
century take the place of the United
States as the great wheat exporting
section of the western hemisphere?
Everything points that way. In the
opinion of experts the United States
has reached high water mark as q
wheat exporting country. The in
creasing population over there has
reached the point when home con-
sumption is becoming annually great
er i'll proportion than the increase in
wheat production. AS a matter of fact
wheat production is decreasing over
there as the land becomes more val
liable, and by reason of the demand
for other forms Of produce for home
consumption. 1t is said that the
wheat crop this year is not more than
20 per cent OF the crop of 1901, and
much below the crops of 1902 and
1908. 1t is estimated that this year
the United States surplus for export
will not be over 100,000,000, which is
less than any year since 1878 with
two exceptions. Not only is this the
case, but considerable quantity Of
the best Canadian wheat is being inn
ported into Minnesota and also Chi
cago.
All this tends to keep the price Of
wheat near the dollar mark. and dol
lar wheat" is the loadstone that will
attract farmers to the Canadian
Northwest, where land is cheap and
can be farmed on wholesale basis,
particulars of which may be had from
any Canadian Government Agent.
The reduction of American exports
will have the double influence Of in
creasing Canadian production and
keeping up the price. 1t constitutes a
roseate prospect for this country,
and needs no exercise of optimistic
enthusiasm to foresee the near expan-
sion of the Dominion into the actual
position of the "granary of the EN-.
