Almost three-fourths of the world S production of diamonds are bought by the people of the United States. The declared value of these gems, covered by invoices presented at the American consulate-general at Ant werp during the year 1907, amount ed to s5,230.519 for cut diamonds and s1,053,057 for rough stones. The bulk of this business was done during the first nine months of the year, as there were practically no diamonds sold to the United States in the Antwerp market during No vember and December, owing to the financial crisis. What an instan- taneous effect financial slumps will have on the selling of luxuries may be seen from the falling of in the demand for diamonds on American account, as shown in recent statistics from New York, according to which the cut diamonds imported amount ed fin November to a value of only s593, ,0O0, as compared with $751; 900 in October, s1,Sl1.0O0 in Sep tember, s2,360,OO0 in August and s2.674.OOO in July, the uncut pro- ducts showing a similarly heavy shrinkage.

CATHOLIC MARRIAGES.
The New Laws Will Go Into Effect on
 Easter Sunday.

Bishop Tierney has caused the re- cent decree which enacts new mar riage laws for Roman Catholics to be published and they are to be read in all the churches in the Hartford dio- cese on Sunday. The notice calls at- tention to special features of the rules and is as follows: The recent decree, ''Ne temere, enacts new marriage laws which will go into effect on next Easter Sunday. This decree should be read and ex- plained in all the churches of this diocese on the first Sunday of Lent, and it is suggested that special in- structions be given on the subject of marriage during the season of Lent. Your attention is especially called to the following points of the new legislation:
 The law binds all who have been baptized in the Catholic church or who have been converted to the church, even though they have after wards fallen away from the church.
 The law binds all such persons even when they make matrimonial engagements, it must be remembered that no engagement is valid and binding unless the following condi- tions are fulfilled:
 The engagement must be made in writing and signed by both parties.
 The engagement must be signed also by the pastor or the bishop or the place where the contract is made. or else it must be signed by at least two witnesses.
 | If one or both of the contracting parties cannot write, this fact should be stated in the contract, and an- other person must witness and sign the engagement contract in addition to the pastor. bishop or two wit ' nesses.
 With regard to marriages, it is necessary to distinguish between the requirements for the validity and the requirements for the lawfulness of the marriage contract.
 In order that the marriage con- tract may be valid and binding the 1 following conditions must be ob- | served.
 The marriage must be contracted in the presence of the priest of the parish or the bishop of the diocese where the marriage takes place. or else in the presence of a priest who has been appointed by the parish priest or the bishop of the place to perform the ceremony. The clergy man must assist of his own accord and must ask and receive the matTi- monial consent of both parties
 The marriage must be contracted in the presence of at least two wit nessss besides the priest
 Hence a marriage contracted be- fore a minister. a magistrate or al priest outside of his own parish. un- less the priest has the permission of the parish priest. or a marriage con- rraetsd without two witnesses. fs in- salid and is no marriage at all
 h order that a marriage may bel lawful as well as valid it is further necessary that the following points be observed:
 The marriage must bs contracted -in the place where the bride has s residence. or If she has 10 residence,

So far as Wall street is concerned, values seem to be really scratching bottom. and bad news now exerts little effect because the worst is gen eralIy known and has been amply discounted. says Banker Clews. The recent improvement in the money market is now having it's effect upon securities: the better class of in- vestments being firmly held in view of the abundance and comparative cheapness of money. The reduction in the Bank of England rate 10 F

 In Austria lice sticks are manu- factured at profit. A series of poles is arranged so that the water will fall slowly over each one in the series. Of course the water in, the winter time freezes, forming large icicles. When the icicles have at tained the proper size the employees of the ice plant" come around with carts, break off the great sticks of ice and haul them away to a place where they are put in storage. Of course it is much easier to handle large quantity of ice this way than it is to cut it from some stream and then pack it away. There may, however, be a difference in quality between stick ice and lake or river ice.-The Pathfinder,

it should be contracted in the place where the man has residence.
 If either of the parties has a resi-. dence and yet they desire to contract marriage in some other place, it is necessary for the lawfulness of the marriage, to first obtain the permis- sion of the priest or bishop of the place where either of the parties has residence.
 If either of the parties has a resi- dence, 1t is necessary to first obtain the permission of the bishop of the place where the marriage is contract ed.
 It is necessary for the contracting parties to~prove that they are free to marry and that there is no impedi- ment to their marriage.
 There are two cases in which the church modifles the above legislation for the spiritual welfare of souls:
 If person is at the point of death and marriage is a necessity, such a person may contract marriage in the presence of any priest and two wit nesses, when the parish priest or bishop or a priest appointed by eith- CT of these cannot be present.
 If the parties have been unable for whole month to reach the parish priest or the bishop. marriage may be validly and lawfully contracted by a formal declaration of consent in the presence of two witnesses. A record of this contract should be sent to the parish priest as soon as possible.
 With regard to records, two points should be especially observed:
 The record of the marriage contract must be entered by the parish priest of the contracting parties in the parochial register of marriages and hence whenever any other priest per forms the ceremony the record should be given to the pastor of the parties as we'll as entered on the books oi the parish where the marriage takes place.
 The fact of the marriage must alsc be recorded in the baptismal register opposite the names of the contracting parties and hence, If 1t is possible the parties should procure their bap. tismal certificates before marriage SC that they enable the priest who per forms the ceremony to send a record of the marriage to the place where the baptism of the contracting parties was recorded.
 Priests who violate these rules are to be punished by their bishop and hence the faithful should not make unreasonable demands on the clergy to violate the terms of this decree. In all cases parties who intend to con- tarct marriage should apply to the priest who has charge of the parish where the bride resides and thus pre- vent all unnecessary trouble in con- traeting marriage.
 In order that there may be nc doubts about the question of validity lin matrimonial contracts the ordin- ary of this diocese hereby declares that any priest who happens to be either permanently or temporarily in charge of parish affairs as pastor. ss- sistant. or substitute when the parties present themselves. Is to be under stood as parish priest" in the terms of the above decree and Is competent to perform the marriage ceremony In accordance with the prescribed con ditions of the decree

imprisoned in barren cell In peni-
tentiary and the whitewashed walls
were sufficient to drive him almost
insane. Soon after he was imprison-

and the man with the temperament
OF an artist, as we'll as the cultivated
talent OF a miscreant, could no long
or tolerate the eternal whiteness OF
his surroundings. After many weary
months and years there appeared up
on the walls a perfect frieze Of flow
