URlU NOTED FOR HIS PLUCK
Japanese Admiral While at Annap-
oils Lived Up to Traditions
Of the Institution.

When Admiral Uriu, one of the
well-knOwn officers TO the Japa
nese navy, was a lad, he received
his training at the United States
naval academy at Annapolis, says
Cassel's. At the beginning OF his
time there he was subjected to
some severe practical joking, and
gained admiration from the plucky
fashion in which he stood it. Later
on, he helped to play similar
FRANKS upon others, and always in.
sisted upon living up fully to An
napOlis traditions.
One day young Uriu was busily
engaged in dressing down"
George Ferguson, who afterwards
became an assistant engineer az
the Brooklyn bridge. Ferguson
was then about twice the Jap's
size, but his superior stature did
not in the least save him
whats your name ?" demanded
Uriu, with an air and a voice that
could not be denied.
Ferguson, sir" was the reply.
"Spell it," said Uriu.

other.

Der that you are addressing your

mand.

was then the reply, and it was ac-

George W. Cable and the Home Culture

George ". Cable and the Home Culture
Clubs.
Lyman p. Powell In the March Booklovers
Magazine,
In his study Of social and industrial
problems, Mr.. Geo. W. Cable constant.
ly realized that the real obstacle to the
progress Of democracy-tO which for
good or Ill, we are commltted-ls class
distinction. To break this down, Mr..
Gable proposed to call the home into
Immediate requisition. He said re-
peAtedly: 1.-THE Private Home is the
Public Hore." He would make the
the home the beginning and tue end
of his philosophy Of popular education.
Observing that the average man lie at
his best IN the normal home because
there he is best known, Mr.. Cable
proposed to energIze the home, to
develop in 1t the home-spirit to It's
highest and It's best, to group contig-
uous homes together by a common
interest in higher and In better things,
and In this way to sweeten and to
purify the atmosphere Of each com.
munitv until all class distinctions in it
should die OF sheer snemia.
In the autumn OF 1887 be brought a
few choice friends together and sub.
mitted for discussion a scheme embed.
ying his ideas, He suggested the
organization Of a Bome-Culture club
in every home that would consent,
the club to consist of the members Of

GEM WORTH SIPS, oo,o
c.Ieulators Set to Work and FinA
That Diamonds Valus Is One
Eighth Billion.

The discovery at ElandsfonteiR,
near Pretoria, of a diamond which
is reputed to be three times great
err than the largest stone previous
ly found, has set the ealculators at
work, with amusing results. One
of these, says the New York Sun,
who bases his calculations on the
estimated value of the famous Re-
gent or Pitt diamond, figures that
the new gem, even if twO-thirds Of
its bulk is lost in setting, ought to
be worth f25, 574,0S5. This is the
most daring of all computations,
most of which vary between a half
million and three million sterling
with one of Els, O0O,O 600.
Nothing beyond the bare report
of the discovery of the stone is yet
known and later Information may
reduce this marvel to dimensions
which can more easily be grasped.
There is no present reason, how
ever, to doubt that it greatly ex.
ceeds the Excelsior stone OF $40
carats uncut, which was found at
JagersfOntein, and was the larg-
est hitherto found in South Africa.
This was cut into nine large gems
in December, 1904, by Tiffany, ana
doubtless the new stone will also
be divided.
Whatever the value of the new
discovery, the shareholders Of the
Premier mine, in which it was
found, have every reason to con
graduate themselves. The mar
ket valuation Of the shares in
creased the other day by nearly .
million pounds sterling. The boom
in the shares was largely the re-
suit of the assumption that where
one gem of 1902 carats is found
others as big or even bigger may be
located. The discovery cannot,
however, be regarded as a net gain
to the company, because under the
present diamond law the govern
ment is entitled to six-tenths of all
the net profit.
There is something very much
like a fairy tale in the history Of
the Premier mine, which is located
on a farm whose Boer owner sold
it two years ago for f55, 900. The
nominal capital Of the Premier
company is 100000. 1t earned
last year 1861, 1888, and the market
value of the shares is now in the
neighborhOod of Flo, 900, 900. The
advance is generally under
stood to have been caused by
heavy buying by the De Beers com
pany, with the object of obtaining
the control of the company and
maintaining its monopoly in the
diamond field.

After the exercises were over Mr..
r. E. Smith introduced in very fitting
terms J. McSwain Woods, Esq. who
! was invited to deliver the address on
this occasion. Mr.. Woods made as
usual very impressive speech, and re-
ceived,.. ..as he deserved, the approval
and congratulations of his many friends.
After the dinner hour was over Mr..
r. Z. Smith in his usual way spoke for
some time upon the sacredness OF the
Place of Worship. He spoke with
feeling giving to the young people ad-
vice that they might well seriously
ponder over.
Rev. Stephens was then introduced
and made very interesting talk, I'M

necessity of having a thriving Sunday
