Simple Life Of Japan.

Nevertheless. the charge of savagery
is, in one respect, true. 1t is fortunate
for Japan that 1t is. The japanese has
the nervous system Of the most fastid-
iously civilized man. His works of art,
his organization of his army, are two
among many proofs. At the same time
the Japanese has the nervous system Of
the most undeveloped savage. In all the
primal qualities of courage and endurance
the subjects of the Mikado seem still to
be drawing steady drafts from the remote
springs of the worlds strong youth. May
II not be the simple life that does IL?
The japanese has his bare, clean rooms,
his water, his tea, and his books. He
studies necessarily, and is not worn out.
He does the most finished artistic work,
and, instead OF becoming decadent, re-
mains normal and wholesome. His life
is as simple as it is complex This para
dox is the nut for the student to crack.

The big diamond. the largest in the
world. which was found in the Transvaal
some weeks since, has now been carefully
weighed and measured and its value esti
mated. 1t weighs in the rough 1&
pound or S024% karats, and it's general
dimensions are by 2h by Ia inches
1t is water white" and without de-
cy is compared by an expert TO that of
pure ice. The same expert believes the
big stone to be only a fragment of a
much larger stone, the original form Of
which can be only guessed at. The gem
has been named the Premier diamond,
after the mine in which it was found by
the superintendent on January 26, when
making his inspection before closing up
for the night. The value of the diamond
varies of course according to the different
standards of valuation. Assuming that it
present weight 1t is worth, according to
one accepted scale, about S45, 0OO, 900,
However, the Braganza diamond, only
about half as large as the Premier, Is
valued by one authority at $25, 00O, 600,
and by another at the enormous sum of
81, 200, 900 900. This means obviously that
this diamond is worth just what anyone
may be pleased to value II at, irrespective
of the practical consideration that If 1t
is held too high its sale is impossible,
The disposition of the company owning
the diamond is said to be to hold to the
arbitrary valuation of $4,000, 900, and to
sell it for that price If the sum can be
raised by subscription in the British en-
pire for the presentation to King Edward
for the British collection of crown jewels
in the tower of London. The diamond
will soon be sent to England, insured
against the marine risk for $1,25O,O00.
