PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

George Herbert.
Every human being is intended to
have a character of his own, to be
what no other is, to do what no other
can.-Channing.

happiness? There is a sort of religious
joy in helping to renew the strength
and courage of noble minds.-Amiel's
Journal.
Jewels do not lie upon the surface

Be patient with every one, but above
all with yourself. | mean, do not be

To be everywhere, and in everything
in sympathy, and yet content to re-
main where and what you are-is not

A Comparison of Wealth.

The London Express is unhappy be-
cause of its discovery that the annual
increase in the total wealth of the
United States is something like ten
times the increase in wealth of Great
Britain. From a British point of view
this may be lamentable, but from no
point of view can it be regarded as sur
prising.
We have about twice the population
of that country, and there is a notice
able difference in the matter of area.
Our natural resources in every depart
ment of productive industry far ex-
ceed those of Great Britain. Her land
values, while not absolutely fixed, may
be held to have reached the limit of
normal expansion, while in our case

These samples are collected for the
benefit Of American manufacturers and
the bureau is anxious to place them

manufacturing centres.
The bureau is also in possession Of
samples of clogs manufactured and
worn in the north of England. The
clogs are in various sizes. 1t has also
a number of heel irons, sole blocks,
soles and nails of different sizes and
varieties used in the manufacture Of
clogs.
From Edinburg, Scotland, there are
a large number of samples of wall
paper. From China there are toilet
soaps and gloves made in Austria,
France, Germany and Holland. A CAL

Spider That Changes Color of Eyes

M. w. Strickland OF Singapore recent
ly had strange experience while
sitting in a garden at Buitenzorg, Java.
Watching a captive spider remarkable
for the possession of a pair of eyes
which glow like gig lamps amid a
cluster of smaller eyes, he was amazed
to note that the "gig lamps slowly
changed in color from brown to grass
green and back again to brown.
Further, as If to increase his atonish-
ment, the creature proceeded to
change the color of it's eyes alternate
ly, thereby exercising most uncanny
fascination over the mere man. There
was something so diabolically deliber-
ate in these changes as to make it
seem that the actor took genuine
pride in the performance.
The offer Of substantial reward
for other specimens of the same
species proved unavailing, but it was
instrumental in bringing to light a
second species, of a grass green color
slashed with yellow. which proved in
every way as expert in the gentle art
of ogling as its more sombrely color.
ed relative.
So far as Is known this change In
the color of the eyes occurs only in
certain species of ducks, and then only
under the influence of fear, while in
the spider it would appear almost to
be Westminster Gazette.

Thrift In France.

1t is estimated that the peasant OF
the south of France spend ON food for
a family of five an average Of I'd a
day. For breakfast there is bread
with a preparation Of salt fish tc
spread on it; for dinner, stock fish OF
a vegetable soup or salad, and fol
supper lentils, beans or other vege
tables. Water Is the chief drink
with very thin wine once in while
Rabbit is occasionally used as flavor
in a vegetable stew, but that Is lux
ury. Beef or mutton is seldom tast
ed. Most Of them dress poorly. But
this economy is not for nothing. Many
of them have hank accounts and in
the matter of hard cash are wei
enough off.-Tit-Bits.

perience in exposing fraud. OF all

Clothespins from Maine.

Few persons ever wonder where
clothespins come from, few ever heard
of Bryants Point, Mes and yet a
man there has been quietly turning
trees into clothespins for years and
supplying the world with them, amas'
sing in the process as comfortable a
fortune as many a man makes in a
more pretentious business in some
money centers. His name is Lewis
Mann, and he began with capital OF
$400, with which he purchased an old
disused mill and began the manufac'
ture of clothespins. Today he is the
largest individual maker Of this very
necessary article in the world.-Chi

A MONSTER DIAMOND.
Latest Addition to Worlds Great
Gems Worth $5,o00,o0o.

What is said to be the biggest dia-
mond in the world is reposing in a
bank on Holborn Viaduct in London,
quite close to the home of the dia-
mond merchants in Hatton Garden.
The very name of the bank is kept a
profound secret. And so careful a
matter is the showing of the stone to
the representatives of Oriental prin-
ees, to commercial syndicates and in
ternational associations of diamond
dealers that number of crystal fac
SMILES have been made and pros
pective buyers have to be satisfied
with these replicas.
If, however, 1t is seen that they
mean business the insurance COM
pany is notified and, according to the
American Magazine, a heavy premi-
um paid by the owners for the re-
moval of the stone from the strong
room of the bank.
This gem Is twice as big as the
biggest egg the biggest hen ever laid,
weighs a pound and a third, and is
invaluable. Nobody knows what 1t is
worth, but $5,000,000 is reasonable
price.
So prosaic is the civilized COM
merce of today that this vast treas
ure was merely sealed up in a tin
box registered as a postal packet and
sent through the mail as though 1t
were a geological specimen.
1t was received from South Africa
at the London office of the Premier
Diamond Mining Company, Limited,
and measures were taken at once to
insure it for about half its value-say
$500, 900.

The peculiar brittleness of their tails

Artificial silk Is made from wood
pulp in Sweden. The imitation is ex-
cellent, but 1t is found that many
dresses made from it have been dis
carded because the creases made when

1t Is scarcely possible to distinguish
the real from the artificial silk, but this
defect has proved fatal for use as dress
pieces.
Both burial and cremation would be
abolished by Karl Schott, a Cologne en-
gineer. He would place the corpse in a
simple cofiin-which might be made Of
concrete reinforced with steel-and
would then fill this with quick-setting
liquid cement. The silicic acid and
lime of the cement would bring about
immediate petrifaction, insuring pres
ervation superior even to that of an
cient Egyptian embalming. 1t is sug-
gested that utilitarians may go still
further and build the cement blocks
into vast monuments that shall be the
the future cities of the dead.

down until his abdomen grows globu-

Jelly. He stops his pulse beating, and
moves his heart at will. Just how
these singular results are attained is a
