One Cause of Diamonds Being So High

The great De Beers Consolidated
mines in South Africa produce 50 per-
cent ofthe worlds output of diamonds.
They have now been worked for sc
years and naturally every year have to
go deeper for the stones, therefore the
cost is more each year. Where before
consolidation the greatest depth of these
mines was between 400 and 500 feet, at
the present time they are worked at a
depth of about $500 feet. Another
pointer is that have nice line at
reasonable prices.

is altogether favorable to st. Peter and
no reproach is implied to the apostle for
forsaking Rome.
The respect with which the legend was
received during the post-apostolic and
papistic periods, supports the explanation
drawn from sacred writ, and the story
seems to have been passed down as II Il

Remarkable Human Curiosity Living

OF all the musical curiosities thas
Nature has produced lately one OF the
oldest is a man with a plano IN his
lungs. On the Pacific coast there In
a man by the name Of Pearson, his
native state is said to be Arkansas,
but he now resides in small Wash
ington town, who can, without any
undue effort, send forth remarkable
melodies which sound like the music
of a piano with a melodeon accom-
paniment.
This lung piano, as 1t has been
termed by the owner, is partly q gift
OF Nature, but Pearson has cultivated
the use of the extraordinary instru-
ment very carefully and thoroughly.
until now he is able to play several
familiar tunes with wonderful express
sion and technique. Friends OF Pear
son say that his services are invalu-
able when church fairs, bazaars and
country entertainments are on hand.
He makes an excellent barker, and
his tuneful voice penetra 'es the fur

much toward checking and correcting
this growing evil, by liberal advertis-
ing and publishing prices, they should
not be expected to do it all. Every
newspaper should preach home trade,
every teacher should instil 1t into his
pupils in the school room, every min
lister should preach it from the pull
pit. The debating societies and po-
litical conventions should discuss It.
The interests of town and country
and newspaper and church, and So
ciety generally, are so interviewer and
so Identical that whatever Injuries one
will eventually injure all. When the
merchants are compelled to bring on
smaller stocks, and employ less help,
and pay cheaper rent, they are not
alone the sufferers; the whole com
munity feels the loss. The price of
real estate is largely dependent on its
proximity to a good town. Rents are
dependent on the amount of business.
The merchant can move to some other
own and establish himself again more
readily than can the professional man
and many others who have built up
business through years of acquaint-
lnceship and establishment of char.
