It is quite possible to manufacture
diamonds. Indeed a famous French
man of science, Moissan. made very
large numbers by means of his cleo
trio furnace His process was to dis
solve Jumps of sugar in molten iron,
subiecting the solution to enormous
pressure. Lump sugar may be said to
consist simply of water and diamond
1t is the case that the diamond is mere
ly crystallized carbon. There are three
kinds of carbon-plumbago. graphite
and diamond-the composition of all OF
which is identical When charcoal is
dissolved in molten iron, graphite is
formed. All the diamonds found in
Borneo, Brazil, India and South Africa
are made In much the same manner
that is, by the action of great heat and
enormous pressure. Charcoal formed
from wood has been baked into dia-
monds, the enormous heat and pres
sure of the earth's interior causing the
beautiful white stone to crystalline out.
Although artificial distinct from imi-
tation) diamonds have been made for
some time, the cost has been prohib-
tive. while the stones have been of but
insignificant size and value.

Montaiqne's Chateau.

The upper room in the round tower
of the chateau of Montague. in Peri
CORD, is practically unaltered since the
lord of the chateau housed his books
there and wrote his essays. On the
walls and on the ceiling are traces Of
the paintings that once adorned them.
A visitor to the tower says in the Lon
don Globe:
ION the ground floor was Mon
taigne's chapel, above were his bed
chamber and private apartments, while
on the third story was beloved book
room. There says the essayist, I
turn over now one book and then an
other on various subjects without
method or design. One while | medi-
tate, another ! record and dictate, as
walk to and fro, such WITNESSES as
these present to you here The walk
ing to and fro seems to have been es-
sential to production Montaigne says
his thoughts slept If he sat still. His
fancy only went as his legs moved.
Bound the walls of the room stood the
ordered ranks of books arranged upon
FIVE rows Of shelves, while from the
three windows the peripatetic essayist
could not only overlook his own fami-
~ and household concerns below, but
could let his eyes range over fine and
varied prospects"

An Extraordinary Dinner.

Sir Frank Lascelles had some excit-
ing experiences in the course of his
diplomatic career. He was with Sir
Edward Malet in Paris in 1870 during
the siege and the commune and told
the story of an extraordinary dinner
which they had at the embassy shortly
after a cannon ball had driven in the
front wall and reduced the kitchen to
ruins. A general retreat was made to
the cellar. And here the two English
men solemnly arrayed themselves in
dress clothes and sat down to dine in
as much Estate" as possible, amid a
hopeless tumble of treasured bric-a-
brac, valuables. clocks, china. ETC., for
not scrap of the usual ceremony and
etiquette was waived despite the in
congruous surroundings. 'Tt looked
like the haunt of brigands," Sir Ed
ward wrote to friend, "who had just
ransacked a stately castle and brought
the booty hither, while in the center in
vivid contrast of neatness with disor-
der was the table laid out for dinner,
with its white tablecloth and silver
candlesticks and, to crown incongrui-
ties, Frank Lascelles and myself in
evening dress and white ties. waited
on by the stately butler and embassy
servants. London Bits.

HOUSEHOLDERS CAUTIONED.
DisiBfect freely this Spring.


Infectious and contagious diseases are
prevalent. The use of a reliable disin-
fectant protects the household. The last
thing at night pour into the traps Of the
closets, wash basins, sinks, ETC., Just a
little Platt's Chlorides. Dusty or damp
corners and cracks-nooks behind plumb
ing and all spots that can't be reached by
the scrubbing brush, should be freely
sprinkled with a mixture of one ID part
Platt's Chlorides and ten (10) parts Of
water. This dilutior costs less than
cents a quart. Do not neglect liberal
sprinkling of the cellar. To remove OBJ
jectionable odors where sprinkling is in
advisable, keep a cloth or sponge mois
tened with the dilution mentioned. A
little extra care just now may prevent
much sickness and expense. Platt's
Chlorides is an odorless, colorless liquid
which instantly destroys foul odors and
disease breeding matter. 1t is sold by
druggists everywhere in full quart bottles,
and is prepared only by Henry B. Platt.

A Good Trick.

The parrots determination to speak
his set phrases under all sorts of cir
cumstances often produces strange sit
uations. The story is told of a sleight
of hand performer who kept a parrot
that he had trained to say whenever
one of his masters tricks had been
finished: THAT'S good trick What's
the next one?'
One day the juggler, being in a sea-
port town. gave his performance in a
loft on one of the wharfs, which hap
pened to get just over the place where
large quantity of powder was stored
in kegs. The juggler was about to
perform some feat which required the
lighting of a candle He lighted it
and threw the match away without
making sure that the blaze had gone
out. The match, still burning, fell
through a crack in the floor and drop
ped into one of the kegs of powder,
which exploded with great force,
throwing the building into the air. The
parrot who was blown up with the
rest, did not stop until it reached the
pinnacle of the topmast of great
ship which lay off the wharf. There
he chung desperately, and, looking
down to the world below, he called
out in a shrill voice:
That's a good trickl What's the
next one?"

A Dark View of Life.

However meager our knowledge of

than we wish we did. l remember to
have heard DR.. Holmes say: Outside |

world is too sad. How can the Creator
bear the hum Of its misery forever in
his ears? Oh, the poor womenp he
added, with tears starting down his
cheeks.

case. Outside we laugh. Inside we
cannot laugh. The world at its best is
too sad, and at its worst it is too bad
and mad Tor any but a superficial
