GIRLS SEEK FARMS

Lynch's views on farming as an &C.

COST TOO MUCH TO PRODUCE.
Artificial Diamond Discovered Recent

No Commercial Value.

Paris.-The diamonds which a
French manufacturer, Vicomte de
Boismenu, claims to have artiacially
produced and which have been sub
mitted for examination to a commit
tee of the Academic des Sciences
aided by other experts, are said to be
SO small that it would take about
100 of them to weigh a carat.
The largest is worth only about q
cents. Since it costs s75 to 500 tc
produce each stone, the discovery
, however genuine, has no commercial
value.
Such, at least, is the opinion of tht
experts engaged In the investigation.

PATHOS IN REUNION
Brothers Thought Each Other
Dead for Sixty-TWo Years.

Nashville. Ind.-When Everett
Johnson came here from st. Louis to
visit his brother, Charles, the final
! chapter was written in romance
that was brought about by strange |
combinations and circumstances |
Their meeting here was the first since
the battle of Cerro Gordo. in a noun
tain pass of Mexico, in 1S47, and the
fact that each thought the other dead
all these years made their meeting
all the more remarkable.
The reunion of the two aged broth

hearts of their boyhood days. Charles
Johnson is 81 years old and Everett
is 80.
1t was in West Virginia, their ma

| There, while the two brothers were
still mere lads, they began counting
two young women of their own age,

/ two young women were cousins. TINS
courtship lasted for two years and

and earnestly seek for the good that

What Travellers Leave.

sOf the thousand and eight things left at hotels from time to time," re- marked the hotel clerk, razor strops have the other commodities pushed across the border in point of numbers. About 10 per cent of the people who have razor strops in their grips leave them behind Of course the reason is that the strop is hanging up on nail out of sight somewhere when the man packs Up, and he doesn't think about 1t. His comb and brush are right on the dresser before him, and that's easy.
 "Next to razor strops, though not hustling the strops for position, come the nighties of both genders. A good many send back after them, but lot more people who leave them behind just abandon them. After so long we give them to charitable institutions. Then there are toothbrushes, slippers, combs, curling irons, soap boxes, clothesbrushes and list of other things left behind longer than an ex- pense account every month. People gre just that forgetful."r- New York Press. '''

. The Origin of the Periwio,

The periwig, which played so impor- tant 8 part in the toilet of a man of fashion during part of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, owed it's ort- gin to Louis XIV. of France When a little boy Che succeeded to the throne at i've years Of agelr he possessed profusion of remarkably beautiful waving hair which tell in clustering rurls over his shoulders. The courtiers initiated the boy King by having heads of false hair to initiate his natural locks, and when Louis grew up he adopted the periwig himself.
 During the reign of William and Mary periwfgs were worn. in exagger- atsd dimensions, and the beaux used to comb their wigs in public with spe- ctal combs of ivory and tortoise shell, which bsca me at last quite indispensa- ble p these fine gentlemen.
