DIAMONDS THAT ARE LOST.
Many valuable tones which Disappear.
Never 20 BE Recovered.

At what figure can we estimate the dia-
monds that get LOST One can only reply
approximately. Although IL seems enor-
nous. It appears that one can place at IS
per cent. the diamonds that nc longer belong
to a anybody.
First Of all, what do we mean by lost dia-
monds? When a stone goes astray Il gen.
orally occurs that, II the owner does not ind
II again. IL has fallen into other hands. IL
is not lost to commerce. II Is not thus, how
ever, when a diamond. badly set, for ex-
ample. falls TO the ground. At least unless
II be OF size sufficiently important to attract
attention one must see there Is little chance
OF IL being saved.
In the city IL goes directly into the gutter
and thence to the sewer. In the country :,
on the main road, 1t becomes covered I'D BY
the pebbles and earth that are stirred up
by vehicles and pedestrians. One can feel
sure in this case the gems are lost to the
world and will never return to usefulness.
But, one will say, we are still far from
the IS per cent. given as the actual loss Of
diamonds. There are. after all. not such a
great number that get lost and are never found
again. That Ia true, but IL Ia necessary to
take into account numerous other sources Of
loss, such as those occurring In fires, ship
wreck. &c. Again. there are persons who
express in their wills the formal desire TO be
decorated with their jewels when dead. This
is customary In some countries.
All these causes explain easily how nearly
a sixth OF the diamonds can completely dis
appear.
The Bank OF France every year has n big
balance coming from bills that are never
presented for payment. IL is therefore not
al all surprising that the same should hap
pen with precious stones.
In this reckoning are not computed the
losses arising from recruiting. The spIin-
tered and pieces are serviceable
still In some way or other. We do not admit
bort, black diamonds and diamonds used
In The industries. but refer only to gem
qualities.
One might mention the rs per cent. indi-
Gated by the loss on rose cut stones. OF

Mr. ZIggIeby Figures II All Out and shows
How They May Yet He Rich.
you know" said Mr.. Ziggleby, 1--we
been trying to figure up a little lately and
find out why We were not better of.
I've always earned good money, and
we've never been what you might call ex-
travagant, never tried to ape the 100, or
even the 1000, just lived along comfortably
without throwing money away, and. I've
wondered sometimes why we didn'b get
ahead q little. We certainly ought to have
done so. we never have; and lately I've
been trying to get down to hard pan on
this subject, really trying TO figure 10 out;
and now l guess I've got it. -
We are one OF those families that never
throw anything away. Old clothes, old
crockery, old books and toys and paper
patterns and I don't know what. we save;
because Mrs. Ziggleby says we might want
them some time. So we have ccum
lated about a van load OF trunk and pack
ing cases and paper boxes OF stuff that we.
never look at or Use, but which we cart
around with US wherever we go.
I'VE all Of us have our pet ideas or notions
Mrs. Z~iggleby,s ia TO save things because
they may come handy. / saw to her:
MARIA, what's the use Of carting these
things around2 You haven't looked into
any OF those boxes in seventeen years, and
Won couldn't tell what's in any Of them IL
Won tried. II we should lose the whole lot
you never would even miss one Of them.
Why can't we throw EN- away? Not all at
once, maybe, but put out a trunk or a box
at a time, say about one a month, and let
the ash man carry them awayr
But she says 10, there's things in those
boxes we are liable to want any time and
that will come in very handy when we do
want them, and so We keep them, and pay
for their transportation when we move,
and nav storage or them when we store
them, as We sometimes do, and give up a
room TO them n pay good money for that
without a serious thought about II, when
we use one OF our rooms for a storeroom.
I've been figuring a little or the
cost OF carrying that accumulation Of stun
that is OF no use 70 us but that we hate to
throw away-what IL has cost us in actual
money in the last twenty-seven years, and
you'd be surprised II / should give you the
figures.
compound interest right from the start IL
would amount now to a nest egg Of ostrich
size from which TO hatch out a fortune. IL
we should really now need all that stun
the money we would a saved by throw
ing il away at tho start would buy IL now
new. four times over, or in other words IL
would buy II all and still leave a biggest
eRR,o one Of cassowary size at least.
That's why we're poor, because we've
been paying all these years for the keep Of
those useless things that we hate TO throw
away, and now I'm going TO make another
effort with Mrs. Ziggleby TO get her TO let
me nut the whole calabash out on the side
walk at once. Then we may be able TO get

ARMENIANS IN AMERICA.
A Big Percentase OF voters. VINO Make
Excellent Citizens Among Them.


1t is asserted that in proportion to their
numbers here the Armenians have more
voters than any other nationality among
our immigrants. 1t Is said that there are
so, 900 ArmeniAns in h country and that
as 600 Of them are voters.
This being the case. IL has beer asked
whether they form a desirable source from
which to recruit citizens. In reply DR..
Andrew White is quoted by Armenia az
saying:
physically, morally and intellectually. II l
were asked to name the most desirable
races to be added by immigration to the
American population, ] would name among
the very first the Armenians."
The most correct electric meter is said to
nave been the invention Of an Armenian
IL may be surprising to know that the green
color Of the American bank notes was in
vented by an Armenian youth years ago.
As they are merchants and have estab-
lished themselves in b business centres
Of the country so they are a people Of learn
ing n number scores OF skilful physicians,
dentists and theologians throughout the
States.
1t is interesting to notice hat while Amer
lean missionary societies send missionaries
among the Armenians, there are seventeen
ordained ministers OF Armenian birth in
this country laboring In American churches,
preaching the Gospel to Americans.
An Armenian, Haig Patigion OF Fresno,
was the winner in the Mckinley monument
contest, and 10 was only the other day that
another young artist, l.. ID. Yaconbion,
captured the highest prize (s2 ,OO0) at Yale
among hundreds Of native sen olars.
The Armenians In this country publish
fourteen periodicals in their own language,
chiefly in Boston, New York and California
Wherever they go they establish Libraries
and reading rooms. II you 90 to any public
library the librarian will tell you that the
Armenians attend that institution, too, more
regularly and draw more books from IL
proportionately han any other class.
