OF THE PRECIOUS STONES
Price Put Upon Them Can Be Moth.
Ing But Artificial.

The London Chronicle says that dia-
monds are getting on the public
nerve with the cutting of the great
Cullinan. They have split it, and are
making two stones of it, and, when all
is done, it seems that we must cal
culate the value in carats. 1t is mat
ter of so much carat. And the Culli-
nan stone at its biggest will be worth
less than four million pounds. while
its little brother will be only half as
valuable. And this is nothing to the
"Braganza," which weight 1850 carats
In its present state, and is worth, ac-
cording to the expert, more than $751;
100000. This is-we may say it blunt
ly-not true. You cannot eat a dia-
mond, or drink it, or sleep In it, or
make any use of it but to win a
woman's smile. As a solemn fact Of
economy, it may be asserted that
there is no man on earth who would
give G5S,000,000 for a diamond. Be-
cause there is no man on earth that
will buy a thing at the price he can
not sell it at Now, is there man
who will buy diamond for fifty-eight
millions on the chance of another
mans wanting another woman's
smile?-The Argouaut.

An Exposed Instance of Tariff
EXtOrtiOn.

Not long ago there arose a cry
for a tariff on coffee-an import
duty of 5 cents pound. And
now it leaks out that this cry, com.
ing as suggestion from the ways
and means committee of Congress,
originated with a syndicate in close
touch with J. Pierpont Morgan,
which controls enough coffee to
supply the American market for
two years. The purpose was to
land their supply just before the
proposed duty should take effect,
and then pocket the5 cents OF
more a pound which the imposi-
tion of that duty upon competing
coffee would enable the syndicate
to extort from American consum-
ers. Some such scheme turks be-
hind the whole tariff system. 1t is
a method of fleeing the "pro.
tected" people without their know.

COULDN'T TEAR HIMSELF AWAY.
Really Excellent Reason for ReportoraI
Persistency.

Once a reporter went around to a
certain residence in New York to get
details about tie master of the house,
who had just died, in order that an
obituary notice might appear in the
newspaper which he represented. Such
details, as a rule, are easy to get, as
few people have objections to giving
them out for publication. The report
er therefore, was intensely surprised
when the widow of the deceased, with
scarcely word, slammed the door in
his face.
She retired into the house. Pres,
emily the doorbell rang furiously. She
refused to stir. Again the doorbell
rang, more furiously than before. Still
the lady of the house would not stir.
II had told him that l don't want
to say anything about my husband"
she thought to herself, "and he has
no right to be so persistent"
So she sat still, while the doorbell
rang again and again and again.
At last she could stand it no longer.
So, opening window over the front
door, she poked her head out and re,
marked, severely:
Young man, do not desire to say
anything to you, Kindly do not dis,
turb me any more. Go away, young
man"
Il cant!" roared the reporter, be-
side himself with evaporation
You've shut my coat tails in the
door!"

MAIN THING IS TO KEEP COOL
Advice for Those Who May Lose
Their Way in the Woods.

Let the man who rs lost in the
woods be very careful not to over
exert himself His chief dangers lie
in panic and overexertion, and,
though he may be in a great hurry to
md shelter, l must warn him to go
slowly. Two miles an hour, on an
average, through the snow in the
woods, is all that man in his con-
dition will be able to stand without
overfatigue and its attendant dangers,
overheating and perspiration. By ex-
ercising caution, man may live
through week of what he is under
going. To make this article brief, we
shall suppose that he regains the road
by the afternoon of the first day. He
doesn't yet know, of course, just
where he is He should examine the
tracks of the person who last passed
that way. 1t being afternoon, he must
follow the direction taken by the last
passing vehicle or team, as shelter
will be nearest in that direction. Had
it been morning he would have taken
the opposite direction, as whoever
made the tracks must have come from
the place where he obtained shelter
the previous night.-Outing Magazine.

Strangling Free Press.

Since the PRONUNCIATION of the
Turkish constitution, we are told
in Sunday cablegram, eight
hundred new newspapers have
been started in Turkey. They
are cheap-about one cent copy
and are widely read. The press
is now free from government CEN
sure, and no longer receives gov
ernment subvention. Here, in the
land of the free, the suppression
of liberty of the press is just be-
gun by Judge Wright's decision
condemning the editors of the
american Federatiomist for printing
things they were enjoined from
printing. Not Union Labor SO
much as the press, is menaced and
imperiled by a decision which, as
Judge Mcguire, Of San Francisco,
says, if finally upheld, must ulti-

otherwise, determine, in advance,

NERVES OF LEARNED PEOPLE.
May Be Gained by Silence, Solitude
and Sleep, Says One Writer.

In an article on Nerves." published
in Harper's Bazaar, the story is told
of one Of our noted scientists who went
to Dresden to consult the famous spe-
cialist for broken-down nerves. On
hearing his symptoms the great ply
sician said, indifferently:
"Ach, SO? 1t is probable that you
have--yes, all the gelehrten (learned)
have neurasthenia naturallyss The
remedy suggested was "Play golf and
go to Egypt. You can get Munich
beer in Cairo, though it is disgusting
ly expensive there"
Silence, solitude and sleep are the SOW
ereign remedies suggested for jagged
nerves. Slight daily doses of the three
SIS" it is claimed, will prevent a
nervous breakdown, and may be OBJ
tained by even the most busy people
But "All the learned have neuras-
thenia" is at once a warning and a
consolation to the brain worker. To
drive the machine" with skill and
care is the problem of the successful
American.
The wrietr of this article urges that
we ought to thank God that we be-
long to the most nervous, restless, all
pervading race the world has seen
since the days of Julius Caesar. 1t is
our nerves" that make us what
We are.

BUILDING UP WORLDS CITIES
Growth of Centers of Population in
Past Century.

The century just passed has wit
messed an enormous multiplication of
large cities and their rapid growth.
In 1901 there were in all Europe but
22 cities of more than 100000 inhab-
itants, of which only London and Paris
had more than 100000 and none
reached 100000. At present there
are 100 cities of more than 100000 in
habitants, 55 above 100000 and seven
of more than 100000. In the entire
world there are 13 cities Of 100000
or more inhabitants, including the Eu-
ropean seven. M. De Foville, a
French student Of comparative statis-
tics, attributes this unprecedented in
crease to the fact that the combined
efforts of science, industry and inven-
ton have actually changed the face
Of the world. Chemistry, steam and
electricity, railways and steamers,
gold and credit have all appeared dur
ing this period and have given both
to men and to affairs an impulse like
the stroke of a magic wand.

The Opening Chapters Will Appear Within a Short
Time and You Will Not Want to Miss Them.

not be said in labor paper, why
may it not, in like manner, abridge
the freedom of all other publlca-
tions? If the courts can enjoin
the publication of any statement
in the Federationist, they can GER
tainly enjoin the publication OF
the same statement in any other
paper; and, if they can enjoin the
publication of one statement, or
the discussion of one subject, their
power extends to all statements
and to all subjects" 1t is only
inexpedient, as yet, to establish
an injunction censorship, like un-
to Russia's, over other papers than
labor papers. If, as the rhod-
omontadic Judge Wright asserts,
the provision of the Constitution
of the United States, saying, the
"Congress shall make no law n
abridging the freedom of speech
or of the press" does not guaran-
tee the right of anybody to print
or publish anything, but is a mere
inhibition upon the direct action
of Congress, leaving Congress free
to create courts with power to
abridge such freedom, by writs
having the force Of statutory laws,
then the courts are above the
Constitution, and the Constitution
permits what it specifically pro-
hibits-which is an absurdity.
Clearly free press is done for il
the Wright decision holds. There
is precious little free press, as
things are, with corporation SYM
pathizers and benefciaries in con-
troll Of the newspapers, but there
will be none at all if the few inde-
pendent papers left can be re-
strained from printing news and
opinions, by injunction. The MIR

Do Trusts Promote Economy

In an hour of hilarious jubila-

Schwab informed the world that
he was producing steel at a cost
of only twelve dollars ton. That
was at the time when the great
consultations were being effected.
And now mark! The chief justi-
fication for the tnast was stated to
be the greatly reduced cost of pro-
duction resulting. Well, the trusts
have been organized, and q long
stretch of years has enabled them
to perfect their peculiar economies,
to the reduction of cost. Bnt-
Mr.. Schwab declares that it costs
greatly more to produce steel than
it did when he first spoke! Would
it be uncivil to ask if Mr.. Schwab
is trying to discredit the trusts
claim of greater economy in pro-
duction?-The Public.

A. remarkable case of misdi-
rected army discipline is that of
Private William Buwalda of the
United States Engineer Corps.
Some time ago he attended the
lectures of Emma Goldman and
shook hands with the great apostle
of anarchy and complimented
her. He was tried by court-mar-
tial under that indefinite and all
comprehensive article of war
which includes conduct prejudicial
to good order and military disci-
pline, and was sentenced to dis
honorable discharge and five
years imprisonment. In approx"
ing the sentence General Funston
reduced the term to three years.
The President has since cut off the
prison sentence entirely, but the
dishonorable discharge, after. III"
teen years of honorable service,
still stands. 1t would seem as
though such treatment we're almost
as anarchistic as the sentiment it
as intended to stamp out in the
army. Nothing is truer than that
two wrongs never make a right,
and that injustice never teaches a
good lesson.-St. Louis Star.
