smokes twenty Wadsworth Bros Chi

druggist, $50 Kansas avenue. las a
matter of fact, he gives away a good
many, but is firm in his belief that he
smokes more cigars than any other
man in Topeka. He says he is willing
to bet that no man can smoke even
one cigar continuously until it is con-
sumed without taking it from his lips.
and he has won a good many boxes OF
Chicos on this simple bet.
"Of course, this mans trade keeps
me buying Chicos right along, but
aside from what I sell him, Chicos
have the largest sale of any cigar In
my case.

THE DIAMOND.
1t Was Probably In Its Original State
Vegetable Product.

1t Was Probably In Its Original State
VeEeta BILE Product.
Originally the diamond was probably
vegetable product exuded from some
ancient tree Positive evidence on the
subject is not forthcoming, but the con-
currence of such authorities as New
ton, Brewster, Jameson and Lavoisier,
who trace it to a vegetable source,
must, in the absence of decisive mega
tive proof, make this hypothesis prob
able
The crystalline form of the diamond
is undoubtedly due to the action of
heat, and the occurrence of these stones
in igneous rocks and mica slate, espe-
cially at the Cape, lends color to the
phosed, as has been the case with
graphite.
This complete change may have been
directly or indirectly due to the inter-
nal heat Of the globe or may have re-
suited from volcanic action. Indirect
mense heat evolved in the crumbling,
fracturing and grinding together of the
earth's crust in the attempt to adjust
itself to the cooling and contracting in
terror. Directly it may have been the
result Of change in the direction Of
the rocks of the crust. the diamond and
other crystals being formed when they
again cooled.

The Name Niagara.

Everybody pronounces Niagara
wrong" said philologist. The accent
of this beautiful Indian word should
not be put on the syllable 'ag,' but
on the syllable 'ar'-the penult-the one
before the last. Niagara means 'hark
to the thunder Its accent should fall
on the penult because the Indians them
selves accent it there because in prae-
tically all our Indian names of places
tie penult is the accented syllable.
T...:nk Of the Indian names you know.
Eo.'t you accent nearly all of them on
IL" syllable before the last? There are,
fc:' instance. Toronto, Mississippi, Allie
E..-'ny, Appalachicola, Narragansett,
Tuscaloosa, Saratoga, Ticonderoga, Os-
v;'';o, Conshohocken, Wfssahickon and
e. chelaga. In all these names the &C.
cert is on the penult. Niagara is a
H,:ron word, and if you can find a
Huron you will find that he accents 1t
as he does Saratoga or Tuscaloosa.
don't know how we have fallen into
the habit of accentng it wrong.''-Chi,

MAY DAY FESTIVALS.
They Were Celebrated In tire Time Of
the Ancient Romans

They Were Celebrated In tire Time Of
the Ancient Romans.
For ages May day has been time of
general rejoicing. All over Christea-
dom its advent is hailed with delight.
The birds, the bees and the flowers
join US in an annual celebration of the
day. Nature has at last thrown off the
snow quilt with which she has braved
the ravages of winter and glows re-
splendent in buds and blossoms. The
streams have broken their icy fetters
and burst forth into joyous accompani-
ments to myriads of bird choristers.
And humanity. overpowered by the
: same glad spirit, seeks the woods and
the fields to revel in the wealth of ver-
; dure so lavishly spread out.
Among the Romans this feeling found
vent in their Floralia, or florea games,
! which began on the 2Sth of April and
lasted several days. We read that
nations taking more or less their ORR
gin from Rome have settled upon the
, 1st of May as the special time for
! fetes of the same kind. With ancients
and moderns alike it was an instructive
rush into the fields to revel in the bloom
which was newly presented on the
meadows and the trees
! The barbarous Celtic populations held
q heathen festival on this day, but we
are not told that it was in any way
| connected with flowers. 1t was called
| Beltein and was celebrated by kindling
, fires on the hilltops at night. Within
! the remembrance of many the peasant
ry of Ireland. the Isle Of Man and Of
! the Scottish highlands also held SINH
! lar celebratiOns.-Ta Talk.

The fact is, almost everybody has a
weak spot somewhere. Death and dis

its proper work, if your body fails to

sleep it ought to have, no matter how big
