are worthy and of the. kind that will
inspire the confidence of the commu-

There need be no fear for the Dem
ocracy that the enforcement of the
Hearst press will be distinctive loss to
the cause. It will be remembered that
in 1895 and 1900 Bryan was accused of
being an unsafe man because Of the sup

longs to 'discredited and decadent
old party" party that has never given
countenance to the ambitions of Mr..
Hearst save as the influence of money
has won his way to the front, and then
as soon as the people had the opportun-
ity to pass Judgment on his ambitions
they vetoed every thought he had for Of
fee, and he became the 'discredited''
one. There is hope in his opposition; it
will give confidence where there would
have been doubt; it will give strength

BRAZlL'S BLACK DIAMONDS.

The mining methods employed are
of the crudest nature, and the work
is all done by native miners. The
diamonds are found in a gravel
known as "cascalho," which is OBJ
tanned on the sides and slopes of the
Sincora mountains and in the Para
guassu river bed and tributaries.
Owners and lessees of diamond lots
generally allow well-known miners
to work their properties, who receive
a return of one-ffth to one-fourth
of the value of their finds. The for
mer generally buy in all the precious
stones themselves and sell them
either on the spot to the diamond
buyers who represent the Bahia
firms, or the stones are shipped to
Paris or London for their account,
OF on joint account with the firms
established in Bahia, with their head
offices at home. They receive from
these firms from 80 to 80 per cent.
of the value of the invoices, and the
balance is paid after the goods are
disposed of.

BUILDING A NEW JERUSALEM
Traveller Notes Distinct Advancement
Made by Inhabitants of the
Holy City.

Writing from Jerusalem to a
friend in New York, Adolf Stirner,
who made a tour of the United
States last year to study economic
and social conditions, says: 81 know
the energy and the creative power of
your people. New states, great
railroads, monster works of en-
gineering and architecture are taken
as matters of course and excite lit
tie comment. But when l see what
is being done here [ must reserve a
fraction of enthusiasm for the peo-
pie of Jerusalem. They are not
goaded on by competition, and their
surroundings make for Incidence and
stagnation. Nevertheless, spirit of
progress has developed which COM
mands respect. If you lived here
you would know what q new house
in Jerusalem means, and you would
stand aghast, as | did when [ was
told that 200 had been completed in
the last three months. Jerusalem is
shaking off its garb of antiquity

FARMHOUSE ANTIQUES.

A highly ingenious device for put
ting on the market cold" furniture,
the taking of which is quite con-
siderable industry in the western
midlands in England, has been told
by dealer.
He had 80 Welsh farnhouses on
his books, in each of which he had
deposited for use of the tenant, but
also in the hope that holiday people
might desire to buy them, cold"
dressers and cupboards and tables.
The inexperienced hunter for old
furniture invariably looks for worm
holes. They are provided for him
by judicious peppering with small
shot, and lest he should be suspicious
and probe for worm dust they are
carefully "salted" with fine sand.

DISCOVERING MEXICAN TOWNS.

The federal government, in view
of the fact that there is not single
map of the republic containing all
the towns and ranches of the diff
ferent districts, has decided on the
creation of the Sociedad Geografca
Exploradora, whose members are
travelling throughout the republic
drawing up plans Of the different
districts visited by them, says the
Mexican Herald.
Very curious occurrences are re-
ported. 1t is said that members of
the commission when exploring
woods and valleys have discovered
towns of from 100 to 500 inhabitants
the existence of which were unknown,
these people living completely iso-
lated from the rest of the world.

THE COMFORT OF BEING A BOY.

There is comfort to be boy in
the amount of work he can get rid
of doing. 1t is something aston
ishing how slow he can go on an
Grand perhaps, he couldn't ex-
plain to himself why, when he is
sent to the neighbours for yeast,
he stops to stone frogs. He is
not exactly cruel, but he wants to
see if he can't hit 'em. 1t is a
curious fact about boys, that two
will be a great deal slower about
dong anything than one. Boys
have power of helping each
other do nothing. But say what
you will, about the general useful
ness of boys, a farm without a boy
would soon come to grief. He is
always in demand, In the first
place he is to do all the errands,
go to the store, postoffice, and
carry all sorts of messages. He
would like to have as many legs as
a wheel has spokes, and rotate in
the same way. This he sometimes
tries to do, and people who have
seen him turning cart wheels"
along the side of the road have
supposed he was amusing himself
and biding his time. He was only
trying to invent new mode of To-
comotion, so he could economic
his legs, and do his errands with
greater dispatch. Leap-frog is
one of the methods of getting over
the ground quickly. He has a
latu raj genius for combining
pleasure with business.

Sour or sweet-That's the ques-
ton, and it's not a mean one either,
for many of us had rather take
dose of salts than walk with your
long-as-a-rail face. Your dyspep-
tic brain, torpid conscience and
sour disposition make you any
thing but agreeable company. You
are called a christian too. Well,
maybe you are, but the fact is not
believed by many on earth. Pos
sibly you may console yourself
with the thought that they know it
in heaven. l doubt it. Why go
through the world always in fog?
You dishearten many, give others
the blues, and keep scores under
clouds of doubt and darkness. You
make out that the path of the just
is not ''as shining light" that
the way Is one Of gloom, hard and
difficult. The way of the trans
gressOr is hard, but surely not the
path of obedience in which you
claim to be walking. Swing
around, my brother, and get your
eye off of self "Rejoice evermore.
Give up your sourness; quit look
ing like graveyard. Take the
sunny side of the street. Laugh
once in a while. Get off your
stills and walk with humble folks,
cheer up, tone up, wake up and
see if milk is not better than vim
egar, or in other words, if it is not
better to be sweet than sour.

and out maneuver us in everything.
This world is a dreary world
without them. In fact, | may say
without prospect of successful con-
tradiction, that without them this
wouldn't be much Of a world any
how. We love them, and the
dear things can't help it; we con-
troll them, and the precious fellows
don't know it. AS husbands they
are convenient, though not always
on hand as beaux they are by no
means "matchless. They are
most agreeable as visitors, handy
at state fairs, and indispensable at
oyster saloons. They are splen-
did as escorts for some other fell
lows wife or sister, and as friends
they are better than women. AS
our fathers they are inexpressibly
grand. A man may be a failure
in business, a wreck in constitu-
ton, not enough to boast of as
beauty, nothing as a wit, less than
nothing as legislator for
women's rights, and not very bril-
liant as a member o f the press,
but if our father, we overlook his
shortcomings and cover his pee
cadilloes with the divine mantle of
charity. Then, as our husbands,
how we love to parade them as
paragons! In the snblime langu-
age of the poet:

Well cry for 'em
And if we could WEI fly for 'em,
We'd anything but die for 'em

ALLOWED EVASION FOR ONCE
Gallant Judge Saved Witness from
Embarrassment He Knew Would

One Of the best-known judges in
Alabama, famed for his severity
and his incorporating loyalty to
the traditions of procedure, had oc-
casion recently to try case in which
one of the witnesses happened to be
an actress Of no small popularity in
the south.
It CHANGED that the nature of her
evidence was such that the usual
question about her age was not like
ly to be omitted, so when she came
to the stand his honor told the court
clerk to suspend action for a mo-
ment; then, turning to the actress,
he demanded:
MADAM, how old are you?'
'Twenty-six," replied the witness,
who is 36 if she is day.

ly. 81 asked you that question be-
cause, if I hadn't, it would surely

us your age, do you swear to tell the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth %

trouble to prepare an interesting
programme and her pupils had re-

The audience, which gave strict

suffocation, gave evidence of the
high appreciation these efforts
awoke. When we consider that
Miss Walker is the first teacher we
have had who has given the chill

lines her success is the more pro-
nounced. Without a blunder the
different numbers were rendered,

the music furnished by Mr.. Eagle

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter.

New York, March S0.-tSpeeial.)-A
rather better demand appeared in Liver
pool today from Manchester, and we find
in the last Manchester Guardian Messrs.
Mum & Co.'S circular, in which 1t is
intimated that merchants and spinners
have accepted any forward business of
ferlng. The idea is conveyed that they
have not bought cotton against these
sales. Our market advanced slightly on
these advices and they sold off on local
realizing on cotton bought last week. We
have several kilograms reporting more in
quiry for cotton of the low grades in the
Atlantic states and the Mississippi valley.
There is no change in the views of local
holders, who still look for lower prices.
The market, however. is acting in natu-
raj manner after the liquidation and ac-
tive declines in the market for last month.
Liverpool should be a shade lower to-
morrow, though the small exports to that
market and the larger ones TO the con-
tinent may continue the demand from
Manchester.

Are Bullish.
DECLINE NEAR THE CLOSE

New York. March 3,.-The cotton mar
ket advanced early today, but later eased
off, closing net points lower to points
higher. Sales We're estimated at 100000
bales
The opening was steady at an advance
of TO points and during the first few
minutes the market sold to 9 points
net higher on covering and some fresh
buying for long account which was pro-
NOTED by steady cables and talk of firmer
interior markets. Offerings increased at
the advance, owing to good weather in
the south, somewhat larger estimates for
tomorrow's receipts, reports of rapid
progress with farm work, and predictions
that the local stock would be rendered
on May contracts. After selling off to
9.55c for May and 944c for October the
market rallied on some positions, as d
result of covering in the late trading,
but there seemed to be little snap to
the buying and the undertone showed
little improvement. The southern spot
markets officially reported were general
ly unchanged. Exports for the day were
comparatively larger but were supposed
to reflect the usual squirt at the end of
the month.
Advices from the southwest state that
considerable cotton is still held in tie
interior, but generally private advices
reaching the market are bulllsh as to the
attitude of holders.
Receipts at the ports today, 1888 bales,
against HAS last week and 1905 last
year. For the week 100000 bales, against
1929 last week and 1884 last year. To-
days receipts at New Orleans 1888 bales,
against 1904 last year, and at Houston 2234
pales, against 2166 last year.

administration had been officially attract
