WISE CROOKS AVOID THE
 STONES THAT ARE LARGE

and his property is divided among his wives or his relatives.
 The largest precious stones generally find their way into the crowns of royalty. The Orloff, which weighs 194A carats, is in the Russian crown jewels. That stone formed one of the eyes of an idol in the Brahman temple on the Island of Sriran- gam in the Kaveri river, near Trichino- poll. The story has it that 1t was stolen from there early in the eighteenth century by French soldier. From him it found its way into the hands of an English ship captain and so got into Europe
 It turned up in Amsterdam in 1791 and for time it was called the Amsterdam diamond. It got its name of Orloff when Prince Orloff bought it for 100000 Dutch forns and presented it to Empress Cath erine II of Russia. This jewel forms the head of the imperial scepter.
 Three other famous jewels in the pos- session of the Russian crown are the Shah, the Moon of Mountains and the Polar Star--llle first of Ss carats. the sec ond of 120 carats and the third of 40 ca rats. The Shah is an engraved diamond. one of the very few large engraved dia- monds in existence. All are perfect blue white stones. Catherine II bought the Moon of Mountains for 450,0o0 rubles, an annuity of 1000 rubles and letters of roy atty.
 These are not by any means the largest known stones in existence, but they are among the most valuable, because of their purity Some of the largest diamonds on record are Brazilian stones, but doubt always has been cast on their genuncness. The Braganza is a Brazilian stone as big as a hens egg and weighing 1880 carats. It is preserved in the Portuguese crown jewels, but there has always been doubt as to its genuineness. If it is genuine. diamond experts say, it is worth s224OOO,- 900.
 Another large stone on which there has been a good deal of speculation to its genuineness is owned by the Rajah of Mattang, Borneo It weighs 367 carats.

Good Hotel Business.

"The hotel business has been uncom- monly good this summer" said M Cliff ford, proprietor of the Morris. Before the quarantine regulations went into eff feet my business was remarkably brisk and even now it makes me wonder where all the people come from. Friday night my guests numbered over a hundred and the night before I had ninety-nine guests"
 The Morris cafe is being redecorated. The work will soon be completed and the cafe will be opened about Septem- Der 1.

SHE CAME AND WENT.

By James Russell Lowell. As twig trembles, which a bird
 Lights on to sing, then leaves unbent, So Is my memory thrilled and stirred
 I only know she came and went. As clasps some lake, by guests unriven,
 The blue domeis measureless content. So my soul held that moments heaven I only knew she came and went. As. at one bound, our swift spring heaps The orchards all of bloom and scent, So clove her May my wintry sleeps
 I only knew she came and went. An angel stood and met my gaze,
 Through the low doorway of my tent: The tent is struck, my vision stays
 I only knew she came and went. O. when the room grows slowly dim.
 And lffe's last oil is nearly spent One 4ush of light these eyes will brinr-
 Onfy think she came and wont

Two Systems of Quarantine.

The troubles that arose between Chief Inspector Toe and Dr. Sanders have not been explained, and it is not necessary now to stop work to inquire about them. The chairman of the state board of health has little authority ex- cept in emergencies. and when a crisis comes he is very sudden and very arbi- trary. This may be well. The Age Herald has no fault to present, and perhaps MT. Yoe will not stop to start a controversy.
 MT. Toe. it should remembered, is still on duty. He is the chief quaran- tine officer of Jefferson county, and his task is by no means light one. lief ferson county expects every one of it's inspectors to do his duty.
 The state quarantine, to be here after enforced by Inspector Barnes Morgan, and the county quarantine now in the hands of Inspector Toe, should and undoubtedly will constitute an efficient shield for the protection of this town and county from cases that the stegomyia mosquitoes can gather disease germs from. The Toe quaran- tine should supplement the Morgan quarantine, and the two working side by side should prove highly efficient and highly satisfactory.

Our Future Population.

of the conclusions of one of our most eminent authropologsts is correct Bir- mingham will, in the course of a. few years, have one of the most virile and Independent populations in America," said Judge N. B. Feagin yesterday.
 ''The authority I refer to-" continued Judge Feagin, concludes that the req son the American people are the most manly, vigorous and energetic specimens of the human race in the world, is be- cause of the mixture of the blood of the most daring and enterprising men and women of all white nations. Only daring and enterprislng people, he ar gues,-and most reasonably.-would leave their native land to come to a far away and unknown country. They are pioneers in spirit when they do this. and the pio- neer is the most hardy. resourceful and independent man on earth.
 Now Birmingham has twenty-six na- tionalities represented in her citizenship, exclusive of the negro. We have Swedes, Norweglans French Germans, Spaniards. Italians, Greeks. Chinese, Japanese, Sy- rians, Russians. Turks. East Indians, Swiss, English. Scotch, Irish, Mexicans, half breed American Indians, Brazilians, Dutch, Bavarians, Egyptians Cubans. Ma lays and Australians. Besides these we have Canadians, Austrians or Hungarian Germans and Russian Jews, and then are the African negro, and the negro from Cuba. Jamaica and Santo Domingo. This makes thirty-three different nationalities in all. If the distinguished authropologist has the correct theory-and I believe he has-what is to keep the Birmingham of the near future from being populated by the most virile. daring and energetic people to be found anywhere?'

Alabama Is Rich.

From the Lafayette Sun.
 Few, indeed. realize the enormity of Alabama's s wealth in natural resources. We have heard the old song many a time before and have thought that 1t was either the feversh dream of the opti- mist or the spiel of the politician, but the sooner We realize the vastness of our natural weaIln the better 1t will be.

 A negro elephant trainer is creating a stir in vaudeville Down south the negro has usually been associated with the mule.
 In casting about for theatrical enter prises of the coming season that possess real merit one is impressed with the an- nouncement of William A. Brady that he will star Robert Mantell in five of Shake speare's tragedies and a production of Bulwers "Richelieu." Although his abil- ity as an actor is recognized by the critics, MT. Mantell has not enjoyed the full honors of the stage in New York. All theatre-goers who have recognized the power of his art will rejoice that he will, during the coming season, be able to grasp enlarged opportunities"
 If John D. Rockefeller carries out his plan to give the University of Chicago an additional S50,o00,0O0 he will easily make the Standard Oil university the richest in- stitution of learning in the world. No definite announcement of his plans has been made thus far, but it would not be surprising if Mir. Rockefeller contem- plates such a scheme of gigantic phian- thropy. The University of Chicago is one institution that will not balk at tainted money" and if Mir. Rockefeller wants to hand out s50.Ooo,OO0, Dr. Harper is the man to take it.
 Be cheerful and live long" That is the kind of advice wise individuals are always doling out to the public.

 Robert Fitzsimmons deserves to be called the grand old man of pugilism.' and to enjoy all the honors appertaining thereto. MT Fitzsimmons is a hard work ing man. In fact, with the exception of MT. Tommy" Ryan, there is not ring knight before the public who Is more consistent in his endeavors to plant his fists where they will do the most good. MT. Fitzsimmons at present desires to fight. He is not the man to pick a fight" He probably feels the need of a bunch of paper" in addition to what he halxes as an actor. Also, he ayers that he would rather fight than act. Every man should do that which he can do best, and some one should accommodate husky Robert with a scrap.
