GOES TO SCHOLARSHIP.

Miss Clara Howard, who made a brilliant record at Barnard college and Columbia university, has en- tered Girton college for a year of postgraduate work as the first wom- an scholar from abroad. This schol- arship was created three years ago by the Society of American Women in London, according to plan for mulated by Mrs. Thayer. Miss How ard is said to have been selected be- cause of the recommendation of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, the wife of the American ambassador in London, and President Butler of Columbia university. Hereafter the scholar ship will be awarded by competitive examination.

DIAMONDS EASY TO OBTAIN
cers Picked Up with Earth and Sort ed Th' ough Sieve in German
 Southwest Africa.

Probably no diamonds in the world are obtained so cheaply as those from the recently discovered fields near Luderitz Bay, in German Southwest Africa. The process of recovering the stones Is so simple as to be almost ludicrous.
 The Ovambo boys, with blue gog- gles on, kneel down on the sand searching for the diamonds. They are furnished with spades, and with these they proceed to fill an ordinary sieve with fairly fine mesh. A man will then take the sieve, give 1t a shake and plunge it into galvanized iron bath of sea water, which has the effect of hardening the contents, while at the same time owing to the specific gravity of the diamonds the latter fall to the bottom.
 The man then picks up the sieve anu lulH II oNel ohto ah oluii"i deal table and the diamonds are then of course on the top. He will then take an ordinary table knife, pick up the diamonds with this and care fully place them in a pickle bottle, which stands by his side.
 From the primitive simplicity of this method of working it will be seen that the diamonds do not give much trouble to find. The cost of getting them averages, in fact, from 25 cents to 35 cents per carat.

BISHOP AS PIG-kIllER.

pr. Montague Stone-Wigg, who is retiring from the bishopric of New Guinea on account of i'll health, has had an adventurous life and many queer experiences Once, not so very long ago, he acted as pig killer-ln- chief at great carnival of savages The bishop had objected to the na- tive method of slaughtering swine for their great banquets, for it in- yolved at least ten minutes agony tc the wretched animals and he offered to show them a better way. There were 159 to be slaughtered for 2,00o savages. The bishop and one of his clergy set to work to shoot the ami mals, and in a very short time they had killed 50, though one tough old pig required five bullets to give him his quietus.

GERMS IN MILK.

Prof. James Long has this to say about the bacteria in milk: ''The impurity of milk is owing to two sources of contamination-dirt and bacteria. If cows were daily groomed and milked in the open fields by milkers with clean hands and cloths, into vessels which were sterilized, the milk would still contain bacteria This method is chiefly confined to France and Holland. Yet, even when it is drawn in covered building where the air is crowded with par ticles of dust, it may be improved as compared with what it is to-day, but it never can be perfect. ."-Chicago Daily News.

QUICK STROKE OF BUSINESS
Woman We'll May Challenge Compari- son with Men in Her Particular
 Line of Work.

Men who are promoters or drum" mers, and make themselves valuable to their employers, are commonly spoken of as hustlers, but the term is not often applied to women. Yet a certain Miss Grace, who is em- ployed by a London firm in a conf- dential capacity, was told by her employers that it was necessary that she keep business engagement at New York at noon, August 6. In order to do this she sailed from Southampton July 29 She cleared the customs at New York at II a. m., August 6, and reached her desti- nation on West Eleventh street at 80. The business was finished by II :45, and a few minutes after noon Miss Grace was started on her return trip. She reached London at ten p. m., August IA, and was at her desk at nine o'clock the next morn- ing, with her report of the business transaction, in time to meet an en- gagement in connection with it.. Who could have done better ?- Springfield Republican.

After a performance of 'Uncle Toms Cabin" in a small town a kind-faced old gentleman found his way behind the scenes and comp4i- mented Little Eva on her beautiful ascension through the pink clouds.
 "Ah, my child,' he said, affec- tionately, 'just keep up your talent ed acting and some day you may be a second Sarah Bernhardt."
 '"That's impossible, sir" laughed the child.
 "And why?"

EDUCATING THE MEN,

In the United States, where wom- en are probably freer than in any other part of the world, the divorce records show that they are the ac- cusers in three-fourths of the suits filed. This means, of course, that women are demanding a higher standing of living and that they will recognize only one standard of morality for both sexes. Men may rebel, but they will have to come to it finally if they hope to live happy ever after.

CHURCHES FOR SALE.

In Great Britain and on the con- tinent it is rare thing 10 dispose of consecrated grounds or buildings for secular purposes, even though they have outlived their original functions. On the other hand, when a church edifice gets in the way of business progress in New York city its fate is sealed. Neither sentiment nor reverence is strongenough to save it, and probably no other city in the world has made so many sanctuary changes in proportion to size during the last century as our own metrop- olis.
