ANGORA GOAT FARM PAYS.
Maryland Boy Winning Fame and
Fortune by Raising the
Animals.

William ]. Cohill, son Of School Com
missioner Edwin P. Cohill, of Hancock,
Md, is winning fame and making money
by raising Angora goats. says the Bal
timore American. Although only II
years of age, he has been engaged in
breeding Angora goats for seven years,
and is thoroughly familiar with all of
the details of goat culture. When he
engaged in the business seven years
ago the goats were purchased primarily
for the purpose of having them clear the
underbrush from large tract of noun
lain land belonging to his father
To-day the tract is set in apple and
other fruit trees, which will soon be in
bearing condition. The flock of goats
has been added to until now young Mr.
COhill has several hundred Angoras,
some of them blooded stock. At the ST.
Louis exposition his exhibit of goats
won 500 in gold. and in addition he re-
ceived an order from Hagenback, the
animal trainer, for eight of his best An
goras, to be sent to Hamburg for start
ing a goat herd there. AT the recent
poultry and pet stock show at Madison
Square garden, New York city, he won
$500 silver cup for the best specimen
IF Angora.

DIAMOND is TOO LARGE.
The Great Stone Lately Taken from
South African Mine to Be
Broken Up.

Some idea of the remarkable char
acter of the diamond weighing 1902
carats, recently found in a South At
rican mine, may be formed when one
recalls that the Kohinoor weighs only
a fraction more than LOG carats, and
the Matan diamond, one of the
largest hitherto known, weighs 3G7
carats, says Youths Companion. The
KohinOOr, however, weighs nearly 800
carats before it was cut. The HoLe
diamond, one of the most noted of
the smaller stones, weighs only A 4
carats. The Kohinoor adorns the Brit
ish crown. and the people of India be-
lieve that the king who owns it shall
be the ruler of that country. The
Orloff diamond, weighing 1914 carats,
is in the Russian scepter. The man
who sold it to Empress Catherine II.
received for it 100000 rubles, an an
nuity of 1000 rubles, and a patent of
nobility. If kings and emperors now
adays were disposed to spend their
money for large jewels to adorn their
insignia of Office, what could not a
man get for diamond weighing a
pound and six ounces avOirdupois! AS
there is no active demand for a stone
of such size, one of the owners of the
new diamond says that it will prob
ably be cut up into smaller stones.
So there is still chance that you may
get piece of it.

INUR club never had an Easter meet
~ ing before and l suppose l would
not have had one last year if Mrs. Ed
! wardin had not been on the programme
committee. Mrs. Edwardin is a good
church woman and it was she who pro-

| bound to be good.
The first thing after the transaction
If business was song by Mary Groves,
He is Risen, Indeed" She sang as if
inspired and it made thrills of exalta-
ton sweep all over me. Then Mrs. AL
lison read a paper on Easter, telling
about its origin and history and how it
is celebrated by different peoples and
so on.
The second paper was on the resur-
rection in art and was by Mrs. Lyall.
1t was a good paper too, but deep, and
[ don't know much about art. l could
not help thinking, in spots, about my
new suit, and wondering if that lace
would be the right thing. l was afraid
it might be little too yellow.
After Mrs. Lyall finished, the presi-
dent gave us what she called an Easter
sermon. 1t wasn't a religious sermon,
she said she would not anticipate next
Sunday, but she thought Easter repre-
sented something in practical, every
lay way that we ought to consider. She
said that to her Easter meant new life

to begin again and start out fresh. She
said the ability to put old things be-

best qualities anybody can have.
Mary Groves sang again and the
president asked if there were any 9th.
er matters that should come before
the club previous to it's adjournment
There never is at that hour but that
day there was. Mrs. Colloton rose and
said she had imbibed the Easter spirit
from the programme, and she wanted
the club to follow the prevalent Easter
custom of giving Easter gifts She said
that woman who washed for her and
for other members of the club, an hon
est, industrious woman, was sick and
needy. The daughter had been Obliged
to give up her place to go home and
take care of her mother The family
income was thus entirely cut off. There
was younger child besides the daugh-

stood there was plenty of money in
the club treasury and she moved that
the club appropriate $40 as an Easter
present for Mrs. Schultz.
A club doesn't do such things usual
ly. but the members had been touched
by the programme and | guess they
were all filled with the Easter spirit
Anyway there was not enc vote against

waste any time, but got the check
