Fastidious Smokers.

did you know" asked one member
of group In the hotel lobby, "that an
Indian is much more fastidious than a
white man In the matter Of smoking
saw when was in Montana several
of their war dances and the councils
afterward. You know, they sit In a
circle on the ground and pass the pipe
Of good fellowship around in silence.
Each man takes two or three puffs
and then hands the pipe to his next
neighbor. But If you notice you will
see that in the whole circuit which it
makes the mouthpiece is never wet.
The red man merely lays the end Of
the stem against his lower lip and,
keeping his mouth partly open, draws
deep breath. Removing the pipe, he
exhales the smoke and then perhaps
repeats the process, but he never puts
the mouthpiece into his mouth in the
common 'paleface' fashion. If he is
asked to smoke peace pipe after a
white man, he first wipes off the end
Of the pipestem where it has been in
the previous smokers mouth."-New

The Lecturers Subject,

II call my lecture Glass;" said the
lecturer, mot because 1t says anything
about that subject, but because of the
nature Of it. To begin with, it is the
sort Of lecture that anybody can see
through. Then am liable to make a
number Of breaks in it's delivery, after
which it will be full Of funny cracks.
In addition, it requires a lot Of sand
to produce it, to say nothing of the
hot air employed The agents have
blown it pretty much to the commit
tees.
another point Of resemblance be-
tween my lecture and glass is that
when cut it is much more valuable. I
shan't refer to the subject any more,
though it is not a safe one to drop.
The principal reason for my selection
Of this name anyway is my knowledge
Of the fascination foreign titles have
for the American people"
But noticing that the audience had
hurried away the lecturer desisted.-

The Making Of Diamonds.

1t is quite possible to manufacture
diamonds. Indeed q famous French-
man of science, Moissan, made very
large numbers by means of his cleo
trio furnace. Ills process was to dis
solve Jumps of sugar in molten iron,
subjecting 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
~ crystallized carbon. There are three
kinds of arbon-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.

Tho First American Duel,

In the year 1880 occurred the first
duel known to have taken place on
American soil. The principals, Edward
Doty and Edward Lester, were serv-
ants Of a Mr.. Hopkins, one of the New
England colonists. The men had quar-
rolled over some trifing matter and re-
sorted to the field for its settlement.
The affair was stopped by the authori-
ties, but not before one had been
wounded in the thigh and the other in
the hand. There was no law covering
such matters, but the governor of the
province decided that the men should
be punished nevertheless. At his or.
ders they were sent to have their heads
and feet tied together and lie in that
condition twenty-fo hours without
food or drink. They suffered so much,
however, that they were released at
the end Of an hour.
