VICTIMS OF IGNORANCE.
Doukhobors of Canada Preparing
for Another Outburst

Reports received at Ottawa, Ont, in
dictate that the coming spring will see
the 1000 Doukhobors leave their North
west communities and go on another
wild pilgrimage. All accounts agree
that the fanaticism of the sect has no
parallel in modern times.
Doukhobor leaders have been partic-
ularly busy issuing DEGREES since the be-
ginning of winter, and each new pro-
mitigation seems to have been drafted
with desire to Guido the preceding
ones in inficting hardship and suffer
ing on 1.-The faithful" Children are
said to be dying for want of proper
food. The people are paupers. They
have obeyed an order to sell all their
cattle and sheep.
All products of the land go to the
sect leaders. All chickens have been
sold in obedience to "a decree. Tea,
tabooed and the general diet has been
narrowed to raw potatoes, onions, car
rots, turnips and a few other vege-
tables. Among the latest DEGREES have
been those abolishing timepieces and
looking glasses. Agents of the leaders
have taken away from the people about
$1,000 worth of clocks and watches.
The women, who are noted for their
dizziness with their needles, have been
forbidden to make any more embroid-
cry.
The Doukhobor wheat is handled by
committee, which does what it
pleases with it. This committee con-
trolls pretty nearly everything in the
way of labor. The gangs which work
on the railway and in the community
brickyard pay over their wages to the
committee without receipt. But when
it comes to be laborers getting their
meager food allowances from the COM
mittee they are compelled to give a
receipt for every ounce.
In one district 500 persons are living
in two houses. Each adult is allowed
a sleeping space of four feet wide. All
have to climb into their beds over the
footboards. The younger mer are
slowed away in the garrets of the
houses after the fashion of canned sar-
dimes.

DIAMONDS FOUND IN ARKANSAS.

COMPARES with South Africa.

Expert Tells Mining Engineer Field
Compares with South Africa.
That real diamonds have been found in
Arkansas was the statement made in a
paper read by George +. Kunz of New
York, one of the foremost American ex-
perts on precious stones, before the Amer
lean Institute of Mining Engineers in
New York. Mr.. Kunz stated that about
40 diamonds had been found near Muir
freesboro, Ark, and that they were with
out doubt the genuine product of the
country. He said: From the 200 carats
available for examination, it appears that
the Arkansas area compares favorably
with the most Of these in South Africa.
Their average size is fairly good, though
SO far none larger than six and five
tenths carats has been found. There is
a large proportion of white stones, for the
most part of a high grade in brilliancy
and freedom from flaws. Some OF the
yellow ones are of exceptional quality.
