LARGE DIAMOND MINE FOUND

Hundreds of carats of diamonds
have been registered from a property
in the Pretoria district, ten miles from
the Premier diamond mine, and it is
generally believed that very large
mine has been discovered. A great deal
of prospecting is being done north of
Pretoria, and several interests have
been acquired in the neighborhood by
an important firm of johannesburg
spectators. The immediate outlook
for the Transvaal industry is stated
to be decidedly promising.

KOREAN FIGS IN CALIFORNIA

An attempt is to be made to acclimate
the Korean wild fig in california. The
fig, growing on a hardy vine, on trees,
trellises and hedgerows to a height of
thirty feet, bears a delicious fruit.
Some of the seed has been sent to the
department of agriculture, California
state university. The fig grows wild in
Korea and has proved of great value
there.

STOMACH CENTRE OF HUMAN
LIFE---ALL ELSE SECONDARY

The immense success which. has fol-
lowed L. T. Cooper during the past year
with his new preparation has exceeded
anything of the kind ever before witnessed
in most of the leading cities where the
young man has introduced the medicine.
Cooper has a novel theory. He believes
that the human stomach is directly re-
sponsible for most disease. To quote his
own words from an interview upon his
arrival in an eastern city: The average
man or woman cannot be sick if the
stomach is working properly. To be sure,
there are diseases OF virulent nature,
such as cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes,
etc, which are organic. and are not trace
able to the stomach. but even fevers can,
in nine cases out of ten, be traced to some
thing taken into the stomach. All of this
half-sick, nervous exhaustion that is now
so common is caused by the stomachic
conditions. and it is because my remedy
will and does regulate the stomach that
am meeting with such success.

gestivc apparatus that is doing its full

CONGRESS TALKS TOO MUCH.

The Kansas City Journa1 has con-
cluded that congress talks at least
three times as much as is necessary
that it drowas itself in words, and
it proves it's statements upon the au-
thority of the Congressional Record, a
jourpal that prints much that is not
exactly what it pretends to be.
The Journal finds that the Congress
sional Record reached over 5000 pages.
A page contains more words than the
average newspaper column, which, of
course, varies according to the type,
but AVERAGES on the regular standard
of. say nonpareil. between 1900 and
then possible grand total of 100000
covering speeches, reports, public doc
uments, etc.-the speeches covering
considerabl over half of this total.
Reasonable, thinking men, com
nents The Journal, will probably
agree that this is entirely too much
talking, considering the results. A
body of practical business men would
probably reach the same results in
one third of this number of words;
and, all things considered, this is e
liberal estimate. Consequently, we
arrive at the conclusion that con-
gress talks about three times as much
as it ought to-
There is one point, however upon
which the vast majority will agree"
concludes The Journal, land that is
that the cost of eloquence-like that
of many other things-is too high in
this country

The Crimson Thames.

The betting and the technical esti-
mates proved to e justified in the
finish of the capital event at New
London yesterday. Yet the considera-
tions which served for the confident
forecast were absent from the actual
contest. The brief record of the pro-
cessional finish fails to do Justice to
the nature of the race, which was any
thing but a walkover. The time, under
twenty one minutes, attests the strug-
gle. From the tin1e-rows the experts
had figured that Harvard was twelve
seconds faster than Yale and. while
the estimate is substantiated and
more in the record, not until the last
half-mile stretch was 1t demonstrated.
The Crimson simply rowed the Blue
to the latter's pivotal point For Yale
the dread law of diminishing returns
operated just short of the four mile
demand Then it was no longer a race.
But it had been splendid up to that
moment, one of the tightest contests
of Craftsmanship that the Thames has
ever bosomed. The whole day was
Crimson too, for all the omen of the
evening before. when an uncaIculated
crab gave the Blue the freshman four
oared.-Providence Journal

which had for many weeks hung up

five robins in the trees. three old birds
and two young ones. This shows that
they were watching me and inter
preted my acts correctly. The old
birds flew away and the young birds
remained and one flew to the pan and
sat on the rim. looking for a few min
utes in the water. Then both young
birds flew to the gentle drip from
the pan and danced around beneath
the drops. enjoying the shower bath.
They loitered there for some ten min
utes. when they flew away to roost for
the night.
