4 WORD ABOUT DIAMONDS.
Opportunities at the Ford Company.

Opportunities at the Ford COmpany's.
 Diamonds advanced at the mines five per cent. four times or a total of 20 per cent during 1904. The same ratio of advance occurred also during 1905, and fine stones are difficult to obtain at any price. At this ratio of increase ownership of diamonds will be a mark of aristocracy at least. As an invest ment diamonds have paid better for a number of years than most bonds and stocks. Brilliance and color are char acteristic of the gems collected in the markets of the world by the Ford com pany.

Bliss Carnan's 'The Poetry of Life"-
 SChiId of the Stars" by Robert vaI-
 entine Mathevs-RaphaeI Tuck &
 Sons Company's Publications
 L. c. Page & O., Boston, has is- sued in beautiful style MT. Bliss Car mans third volume of prose essays, 'The Poetry of Life" which Mir. Car man says lis the poetry of beauty, sim cerity and elation." On this text Mr, Carman has written sixteen essays, on '"The Purpose of Poetry How to Judge Poetry" the Defense of Poet ry," Cheerful Pessimism," etc. He has also included his essay on the po- etry of Mir. Swihburne, which origin ally appeared in a magazine several months ago, and appreciative and sym pathetic articles on the poetry of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and James Whitcomb Riley
 The author dedicates the book to My Sponsors in California, Mir. J. O'B. Gum of San Francisco and Mir. Irving Way of Los Angeles and adds some eight pages of gay and graceful com- plment, mingled with thanks for the hospitality that made California de- lightful to him last winter, while he was writing the book. In one rather wistful paragraph he speaks of the hardy young captains whom he sees sailing their fairy shallops without dis aster bringing their treasures from the Fortunate Isles safely into port, and of his own provision of every year launching new skiff through the surf of criticism, to see it dance a few yards and sink beneath the waves. Yet, he says, he is cheered by the un- conquerable ehopeof constructing a craft fit to skim the blue waters into a breeze of popularity at last.
 MT Carman's work, prose and poetic, is commanding more and more the ap- preciative attention of book lovers, and he well deservesf to arrive" These | essays are marked by rare beauty of style and thought, and 'The Poetry lof Life" will make a very. acceptable holiday gift book. On the cover is ex' emplified spray of eglantine blossoms in pale pink, with it's green leaves buried in gold. 1.50; for sale by the | Pease, Lewis Co.
