Charitable Hone

From the New York Evening Sun
 Supreme Court Justice Cohalan, who is proud of his Irish blood. also believes that for keen wit and humor no race In the world equals the Irish. The justice spent the greater part of last summer on the .'ould sod' and when he came home he had acquired a great fund of funny anecdotes, illustrative of the often unconscious humor of the natives he met.
 He tells a story of two husky lads who were tenants of the same land owner and who were constantly embroiled either with the man himself or one of his agents. At last things came 10 such a pass that the two decided to waylay their landlord. They chose favorable spot along the road over which they knew the landlord must travel that afternoon and crouched in the ditch waiting. To beguile the time each told the other a part of the punish ment he had devised for the landlord
 Said one: "oill tap him on the head wld me blackthorn and whin he falls OH step on his face an

Fortunes Made in Diamonds

From Harper's Weekly.
 Forty-five years have elapsed since the first diamond was found in Africa, and 1t is calculated that since the develop ment of the diamond mines the world has paid more than $20oO, 900 for their products.
 This represents a weight of 9o,0oW9 carats. If the immense loss from theft in the early years be taken into consid- eration, and the diamonds taken from Brazilian mines and others from different parts of the world be added to the esti- mate, 1t is probab ble that not less than 100 ooo,o00 earats would be a conservative estimate of the outout. The value or these in the rough would be S750,o0O,- o0O to this must be added the cost of cutting and the profits to the syndicate, to the exporter, to the middle man and the retailer.
 Among the most famous diamonds are those of the royal house of Braganza, and among the most valuable of the Braganza collection is that called "the King of Portugal" which weighs 1880 carats. It was found in Brazil and has never been cut
 The most important cut stone of Brazil is that call the Star of the South, which was found by a negro woman in 1855 1t was appropriated by the mine owner who gave her in return pension for life. The stone was sold for s15,OOo, the new owner depositing it in the Bank of Rio Janeiro and receiving on this se- curity a loan many times greater than the value paid for the gem.
 The diamond was at length sold for ten times the amount paid. It was finally acquired by syndicate and cut in oval form at a cost of $2600o by a firm in Amsterdam. An Indian rajah offered more than half million dol- lars for it, but was refused. little later it was bought for the Gaelwar of Baroda.

From the London Chronicle.
 The Dominican order possesses in Rome two churches of great interest. Santa Ma ria Sopra Minerva, in the heart of the city. and Santa Sabina, on the Aventine.
 The latter during the closing years of St Dominick's life was his home and headquarters. But the church was already very ancient when he took up his abode there. According to the Rosary. it was built A. D. 425, during the pontificate of St. Ceestine.
 It's founder is commemofated still in the original mosaic inscription dating from 4Sl on the western wall of the church. in- side the entrance. The mosaic even now is splendid relic of a very far distant age.
 Remains of the second church are to be seen in the western corridor, or cloister, where are number of early inscriptions: on one side the original twisted columns of pavonazzetto still support the roof, on the other they have been replaced by

Animal Swimmers
m Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly,
 Nearly all animals are better swim- mers than man and take to the water naturally, while he has to learn to propel himself. The rhinoceros and hippopot- anus are wonderful swimmers and div CTS, while the Indian elephant crosses great rivers with heavy loads. The elk and the reindeer are first class swim mers. The elk keeps his head above water and crosses directly from bank to bank to avoid turning. The reindeer on the other hand, turns as often as he likes, keeping his head only a little above the surface. But of all swimmers of all climes the best, though not the swiftest, is the polar bear, who passes half his time in the water swimming and diving. His swimming power is nothing short of

miraculous if il be remembered that the water in the regions he frequents is in- Sariably cold and that cold is normally prohiibtive to good swimming. There are bears that can swim from 10 to 50 kilo- meters without great effort
 One of the swiftest swimming animals is the squirrel. A sportsman on one oc- casion having at hand a squirrel born in captivity, which had never seen wa ter, wanted to see If it could swim, and took it with him in a rowboat to the center of lake. The squirrel turned to- ward the bank, head and paws above the water, back and tail underneath it, and began to swim so rapidly that it was with the greatest difficulty that the man recovered 1t when 1t neared the shallow water near the land It is said that e.en many non-aquatic birds will swim like ducks If an attempt be made to drown them.
