RICH SELLING DIAMONDS
Maiden Lane Dealers Take Back s1,O0o,.
 900 Worth of Stones.

NEW YORK, December 7.-Many persons have been selling. back to Mail. cn Lane dealers diamonds and other precious stones bought before the finan. cial troubles began. It is said that one wholesale house has, within montl.. bought more than $l,0000O0 worth Q. diamonds, necklaces, brooches, rings an1 other ornaments which wealthy people have surrendered in order to obtain cash.
 Diamonds have again proved to be the kind of property most easily con verted into cash, said an importer "The people with diamonds have been luekier than some who had their money in banks because, with the diamon.ls, cash has always been obtainable. "
 The resale of articles from family jewelry chests is putting back in the market some of the finest specimens of stones, and is relieving, to some ex- tent, one trouble of the dealers who for several years have been worried by the difficulty of getting sufficient SUI plies of high-grade stones.

The Graves of our Presidents.

The recent act of the federal govern ment in assuming the custody of the grave of Andrew Johnson in Greene vile, Tenn, is of interest as marking the purpose of the government to see that the graves of our presidents receive appropriate care. These. in many in- stances are already well provided for, but there have been a few exceptions, and that of Andrew Jackson was per haps the most conspicuous. The i'm provements now being undertaken in the Tennessee cemetery where the sue cessor of Abraham Lincoln is buried were authorized by the last congress, which appropriated $32,OO0 for the ob- ject.
 It is expected that the new con gress will be asked to appropriate mon- ey for aJ monument to John Tyler in Hollywood cemetery, Richmond,' his grave being marked only by wooden slab at the present time. It has also been suggested that the government as- sume the care of the tomb of Andrew Jackson at the Hermitage, near Nash vile. As the years pass there is in creasing interest in the resting places of our former chief magistrates, and it is said that one North Carolina man has visited every president grave Springfield Union.

THE GoLDFIELD AFFAIR.

The action of President Roosevelt in sending federal troops to Goldfeld is, in a way, unprecedented. There has so far been no violence to warrant such action and even had there been unlawful acts committed, no request for assistance in upholding the law had been made by the sheriff. The mere assumption on the part of the Mine Owners association that the sheriff was friendly toward the miners, would be no valid excuse for the importation of troops.
 There has been more or less trouble at Goldfield between the miners and their employers and the latter have an- nounced publicly that they intended making an "open" camp of Goldfeld. They are conducting private enterprises and if they desire to establish an open camp, they certainly have the right to do so if they can, but to call in United States troops to assist them in so doing is outrageous. From the press dispatch es, it is apparent to any unbiased mind that the fimsiest kind of pretext, if not actual misrepresentation, was used by Governor Sparks, on which to base his appeal for federal troops and the appeal itself, taken in conjunction with the contradictory messages from Gold field, show him to be either weakling or one directly influenced by the Gold field Mine Owners association. The eff feet of the president s action in so read fly complying with the request of Ne vada's governor, will be far reaching in the coming presidential campaign.

An Old Medicine.

Ground oyster Shells" said the ply

the medieval doctors-a medicine for
the ricketts, and scrofula."
How absurdp'
absurd? Not at all. Oyster shells
contain lime. nitrogen, iron, sulphur,
magnesia, bromide. phosphoric acid and
iodine. Those are all excellent tonics.
You know how hens eat ground oyster
shells and thus produce eggs with good,
thick. strong shells? Well, as the oys-
ter shell powder acts on eggshells SO /
have no doubt it acted in the middle
ages on the bending. crumbling bones
of the rickety. putting strength and
firmness into them. Ground oyster
shells. I am convinced, would be good
things for frail children today. They
would strengthen the frame, increase
the appetite and have a splendid effect
on the teeth. h."-Philadelphla Bulletin.

Habit-forming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as to many
OF the so-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some journals of moro or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been of great benefit in arousing needed
attention to this subject, 1t has, in a
considerable measure. resulted in the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly suS-
pected of containing the injurious ingre-
dients complained of. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo,
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients of which his popular medi-
cines are composed. Thus he has COM
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths of our American forests and of
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead of alcohol, which even in small
portions long continued, as in obstinate
cases of diseases, becomes highly objec-

as leaders in their several schools OF

Proper Breathing.

According to a lecturer on health,
people that breathe through the mouth,
habitually neglecting the nose, the
proper channel for the air supply,
''have short upper lips, fat cheeks, ir-
regular and decayed teeth, pigeon
chests, pointed chins and pointed or
upturned noses"-a dreadful list Of
dire penalties, IN truth, fearful enough
to convert us oil In q. moment. yet
greatly exaggerated, of course. How
ever, as we have heard many times,
usually never needing as we pass by,
it is decidedly injurious to breathe
through the mouth. Moreover, If we
stop to consider a bit, we shall be able
to see for ourselves several common
sense reasons that ought to make US
supply our lungs with air through the
nose. Taken in by way of the mouth,
the air reaches the lungs by much
shorter route and without the beneficial
warming and cleansing process so well
afforded by the longer nasal passage.
In winter especially should we take
care to breathe only through the nose,
thus lessening greatly our chances Of
taking deep seated colds. 1t is merely
a matter Of habit and simply q ques-
ton Of trying after all,

The Capture of Jefferson Davis.

How Mrs. Davis prevented her hus-
band from escaping in his flight after
the fall of the Confederacy is told in
Mrs. Avary's book, Dixie After the
War" After leaving Washington,
Ga, Mr.. Davis had heard that maraud-
ers were in pursuit of his wife's
cortege, and, turning out of his course,
he rode hard across country, found his
family, conveyed them beyond the
present danger, as he thought, and
was about to renew his journey
south. The party camped, when he
was reused at dawn by his negro serv-
ant, who said troops were coming.
Mrs. Davis begged her husband to
leave. His horses and weapons were
near the road down which the cavalry
was coming. In the darkness of the
tept he caught up what he took to be

garment. 1t was hers. She then

Love POtiOns.

Love potions as used by the peasants
of lower Austria and Syria, are gen.
orally taken by the person who wishes
to be loved. The common habit is to
consume minute portions of white ar
senic, which will In a few weeks de-
velop a thin, pale girl into a plump,
rosy checked beauty. Great care has
to be exercised in taking the arsenic
or death results, and when the habit
is once formed it usually lasts for life
since the body becomes uncomfortable
and even diseased, showing all the
symptoms of arsenic poisoning, If the
habit is broken off.
Some of the eastern nations use love
potions differently. If a girl loves a
man and he seems cold, she 'contrives
to give him a drink of hasheesh, OBJ
tanned from Indian hemp. The mans
brain becomes logged, and he is ready
to believe anything that is suggested
to him. The girl suggests to him that
she is beautiful and thus compels him
to regard her unlovely features as she
desires
