The Cullinan Diamond.

Speculation is rife in mining cir
Giles as to what might have been the
fate of the Cullinan diamond had it
not been picked up on the surface.
A stone of that magnitude if car
ried to the washing machine would
not pass through the cylinder and
might conccivably be picked out and
carelessly thrown aside with the dis
carded Jumps. If, on the other
hand, it reached the rollers it would
inevitably be smashed into several
pieces.
Wells, the old kimberleyite, who
had the good luck to find the record
stone, is said, by the way, to have
been rewarded by check running
into five tigures.-Diamond Fields

of the ridge to depth of fifteen Or

of the ridge, and all the SHOW on our

Story of the Old Couple Whose Wishes
Came True.

Story of the Old Couple Whose wishes
Came True.
"Once upon a time" began Uncle
Max, "a fairy promised an old cou-
pie that their first three wishes
should come true. The pleased old
people sat down before the kitchen
fireplace to think of something truly
magnificent to ask for. Suddenly
the old lady thoughtlesSly murmur-
ed, what a fine fire. Presto! Be-
fore their Mortified eyes swung pot
with a pudding bobbing up and
down against the lid. Idiot

had jumped out of the pot and hung
upon the poor woman,s nose as II

that purpose. The husband, strick-
en- with rcmorse, begged that his
wife might be relieved of her agony.
The old couple had now had three
wishes fulfilled and were no better

concluded Uncle Max, ''thiS is only
a fairy story. In real life of course
folks wish wisely and are always
satisfied when their wishes come

a dose of Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets to correct it.
If YOU have a weak stomach or

Governor Russell's Punishment.

The late Governor William E.
Russell had a hobby for horseback
riding from his home in Cambridge
to the statehouse. He would joking
ly remark that he was cheating the
West End out of his car fare.
After the heaviest snowstorm of
the year the city of Cambridge and
the street railroad company were at
odds, the city claiming the railroad
should remove the snow and the
company claiming the city should.
Piles of snow remained on the
streets as a result, and one day while
passing through Brattle square the
governors horse stumbled badly,
throwing him into the snow.
One of the first to offer him as
sistance was the late Joseph Dee
then, division superintendent of the
street railway, who asked, care you
hurt, GOVERNOR"
'No, not hurt, Joseph, but l knew
you fellows would punish me some
day for evading my car fare" -

The West Indies are Turning frt

The West Indies are Turning from
 Sugar to Fruits and Cotton.
 Boston Transcript
 The West India Islands may be very fittingly compared to the Southern At- lantic and Gulf States with two strik- ing exceptions In the islands the sta- pie commodity was sugar instead of cotton, and the proprietors of most of the largest and richest estates were absentess-a system that has done more to hamper the islanders in the economic development than any other two causes combined. Slavery was an established institution, although 1t lacked some of the harsher features that characterized the system in the South; the planting aristocracy was powerful, jealous and intolerant, and sugar was crowned King. Men lived by it and died for 1t, swore by 1t and dreamt of 1t.
 The planter positively refused to learn the lesson that country which Is entirely dependent on a single indus try is every day on the brink of ruin; 1; a climate and soil capable of produc- ing all that any tropical region could produce, would not be divorced from his rflst love, but clung to his idol, pre- sumably for the sake of all 1t had been to him and done for him.
 After the close Of the Franco-Prus- sian war, when eGrmany and Austria, and to a smaller extent. Russia, began to foster the production of beet sugar. the West India Sugar industry gradu- ally began to decline Wages fell to one-third of what they had been, and the tyle of living was greatly lowered. And yet 1t is almost ridiculous to an observer to note that all that has been done to better that condition has been series of futile attempts to resusci- tate the ugar industry by precisely the same ancient methods. The home planters lacked skill and initiative; the absentee proprietors across the Allan tic cared no longer for their unremune- rative estates, most of which they had never seen: and having already reaped a rich harvest out of them they were perfectly willing to leave them to their fate and devote their capital to newer and more lucrative efilds.
 It took the planters long time to learn that the abolition of slavery sew enty years ago meant the increase of their incomes, and in the same way 1t has taken them a long time to see that it is hopeless to contend against boun- ty-fed sugar fostered by Government
