RED, GREEN, VIOLET DIAMONDS,

Collection Valued at 1871 900 Francs
Brought Hero for St. Louis Fair.
What is said to be the choicest lot
of colored diamonds ever received in
this country was carried from the
steamer Krownprinz Wilhelm when
she arrived here, by NJ. A. Horentz, tho
trusted representative of Paris jewel
er. The precious stones were con-
.cealed in belt strapped about the
Frenchman's waist, and he was guard
ed closely by two assistants.
The value of the stones is ! ST. 900
francs. They are destined for exhibi-
ton at St. Louis, and will be taken to
that city to-day. Naturally no state
ment of the movements of M Horentz
and his companions while in New York
was given in the office of Hussa & Co..

tated the entry of the diamonds into

A Farmer Found 1t.

Mount Pleasant, Utah, May 2S.-To
find a medicine that will cure every
ailment due to diseased or disordered
Kidneys has been the aim of many
physicians and chemists.
Mr.. c. E. Peterson, a farmer of this
place, says he has found such rem
edy and that he has tried it with. sue
cess in his own case. Mr. Peterson
says the remedy is Dodds Kidney
Pills, medicine introduced here
about seven months ago.
II am glad to be allowed to testify
to what good things Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done for me. I used this
remedy for Kidney trouble and it
cured me completely.
81 can heartily recommend Dodd's
Kidney Pills to all who suffer with any
kind of Kidney trouble. =
MI. Peterson's case is only one Of
many just as convincing that have
been reported recently. This new rem.
edy seems to have conquered Rheu-
matism completely, not a single case
having been reported where Dodd's
Kidney Pills have failed to cure per-
fectly and permanently.

Electrical Science.

In the Physikalische: Zeitschrift,
DR.. A. Korn describes new receiver
for telautography and the telegrahpic
transmission of half-tone process
blocks. In the transmitting apparatus
the writing of the points and lines of
the half-tone blocks are formed by a
non-conducting ink on a sheet Of
metal foil, This is wrapped round the
surface of cylinder which is rotated
with uniform angular velocity. The
electric current is transmitted by
means of a metal pen which moves
forward 001 inch in each revolution
In the receiving apparatus the cylin-
der is rotated with an angular veloc-
ity greater by one per cent than in the
transmitting apparatus and at the end
of each revolution is made to await
a synchronizing signal by which it is
restrained. The impression at the
station is produced on sensitized
paper by g. small electric lamp or
vacuum tube, which by means Of a
suitable relay of Tesla currents is
made to glow whenever the pen at
the transmitting station passes over
non-conducting portion of the pic
ture. The paper is illustrated by
specimens Of handwriting transmit
ted by this method.

It gives one rather an ache in the
mouth to reflect that gentleman who
died recently III London has left an es-
tate Of $3.50, 900, all from making arti-
fetal teeth. Better that way than the
fashion in which his prototypes raised
their wealth. Before the artificial

be made good by the real article, so

The cost Of hauling stone, sand and
gravel and brick being equal and the
freight charges on cement are not too
high, concrete would be the cheapest
material to use. Where cement can
be gotten direct from the mills, con.
crete walls may be built for eleven
cents per cubic foot, or even less in
some cases. The cost of building a
concrete wall may be arrived at by
calculating from the following basis
One barrel of Portland cement will
build IS cubic feet of wall, if stones
are used as filters, making the con.
crete one part cement to seven parts
OF gravel; if natural rock cement is
used, one barrel will build ~ cubic
feet, making the concrete one part
of cement to five parts of gravel. One
man will build from IS to so cubic
feet of wall in day, according to its
thickness and height. I have had men
each of whom could build So cubic feet

A Pretty Flag Game.


A very pretty and interesting game
may be played with sheet of paper
or cardboard, on which are painted
the flags of all nations. The sheet
may be prepared by any one that has
little talent for drawing, and, though
it may entail some trouble, it will
doubly pay for yourself.
1t is not hard to find colored pic
lures of the flags; almost any good
gazetteer or big dictionary contains
such a sheet. They should be copied
in proper order on the paper or card
board and colored in water colors.
When the copying is done put a
number under each flag instead Of the
name of the nation it belongs to, and
hang the sheet on the wall where the
players may see it. Give sheet of
paper to each player, with the list Of
the numbers written down the left
hand margin.
Now allot certain time-say half
an hour-within which the players are
to write opposite each number the
name of the nation to which that par
ticular flag belongs. When the time
has expired each player signs his or
her name to the list and hands it to
the leader, who examines them all
| and awards the prize to the one hav-
ing the most names right.
A miniature American flag, made of
silk, would be suitable prize to Of
fer.

WHAT THE KING EATS,
What's Fit for Him.


A Mass. lady who has been through
the mill with the trials of the usual
housekeeper and mother relates an
interesting incident that occurred not
long ago. She says:
Il can with all truthfulness say that
Grape-Nuts is the most beneficial OF
all cereal foods in my family, young as
well as DID, 1t is food and medi-
cine both to us. A few mornings ago
at breakfast my little boy said:
"'Mamma, does the King eat Grape
Nuts every morning?'
II smiled and told him did not
know, but that thought Grape-Nuts
certainly made delicious dish, fit for
a King" Cts fact that the King Of
England and the German Emperor
both eat Grape-Nuts.)
~ find that by the constant use Of
Grape-Nuts not only as morning CO.
real but also in puddings, salads, etc.,
made after the delicious recipes found
in the little book in each package it
is proving to be great nerve food for
me besides having completely cured
long standing case Of indigestion"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle

There is no doubt Grape-Nuts is tho
most scientific food in the world.

Portable 'Phone.

PORTABLE 'FnonS.
The latest Swedish invention that is
being discussed is a portable tele-
phone. The specimens that have been
sent abroad have elected unstinted
praise from Ausrrtan, Rnssitzn:- Greek
and Turkish experts who have tested
them, and, while large demands and
inquiries for the new phone have
come from France, Germany, Italy,
Spain, Portugal and the United States,
those from Great Britain have been
even more noticeable.
Within the cylinder of the telephone
is small dry cell, the whole apparatus
(including both receiver and mouth
piece) being small enough 10 go in the
pocket, With each instrument is a
coil Of thin copper wire, and it is
reckoned that soldier Guild easily
carry $4,000 feet of this wire with
him.
The uses suggested for the portable
telephone are innumerahe, military
considerations being kept specially to
the front. Outposts, it IS declared
could by it's aid be kept in constant
communication with the ,}ain force,
and it is pointed out thaf it would
furnish valuable means Of keeping
in touch with headquarters, cor police
and fire brigades. For use between
railway coaches on a moving train,
for engineers at work underground or
on great public works, fer steamers,
for cyclists and in many other fields
it would be most desiable-New

ESouimau Elm

We may not think Greenland such
a nice country to live in, but the little
Esquimau children have lots of fun
and a great many jolly games. One of
these games is not unlike our "shin
n.y." only it is played with a stick
made of bone and a ball of sealskin.
Another, which demands not little
skill, is played with two pieces of
bone, one flattened, with holes in it,
and the other sharpened to a pin
point. They are tied together by a
string about a foot long, and the fiat
piece, after being thrown in the air,
must be caught by one Of it's holes
on the point of the sharp piece.
AS the Greenland winters are very
long, and snow covers the ground all
the time, every boy and girl possesses
a sled. Some are made of ice, and the
way they skim over the hard, smooth
snow would surprise you. Others have
runners of bone and tops OF sealskin.
with backs to lean against. Dogs pull
them, and so lazy boys and girls need
have no hauling up hill. Sometimes
the little folks set up reindeer horns
on hillside, and getting on their
sleds, they try to pass between them,
without touching them.
There are also some funny house
games to pass winter evenings. In
one they get on their knees in a circle
and hold their toes in their hands.
The one who goes the fastest wins the
game.
Besides these games, they have
some beautiful toys. These their
fathers carve from the tusks of wal
rus. They are of every conceivable
shape and design. Often entire vii
lagos are made, the huts, bidarkees,
or canoes, and dogs sledges being in
perfect miniature. The carving is
often skillfully done, and is the more
remarkable when one considers the
