DIAMONDS IN SUGAR.
We Know They Arc There, Because Science Has Extracted Them.

We Know They Arc There, Because
 Science Has Extracted Them.
 Although at first thought the state ment seems incredible. it is perfectly true that a lump of sugar may be con. verted into diamonds.
 Not all the substance of the sugar of course will enter into the compost tion of the diamond, but only the car. bon that it contains. Sugar consists of carbon united with oxygen and ny. drogen.
 It is an easy matter to separate out the carbon, and in certain experi ments for the production of diamonds this sugar carbon has been employed.
 The diamonds so produced were of course very small and destitute of commercial value, but still they were real diamonds. and the chemical re- suit achieved would be no greater in trinsically if they were as big as the Cullinan.
 Scientists have often expressed the hope that an improvement in the proc. ess of manufacturing diamonds may be effected whereby the necessity of dissolving the carbon in molten iron may be dispensed with. and the re- quired combination of great pressure with great heat may be brought about by some such operations as squeezing the carbon between redhot metal plates.-New York World

First Carrier P;qeons.

The sport of pigeon flying dates back 100 years. although the Egyptians trained pigeons to serve as messengers 4,OOO odd years ago. and their example was followed by the Assyrians. the Chinese, the Greeks and the Romans. The first pigeon race was organized in Belgium in 1878. and two years later a bird was flown from Paris to Verviers. where it's arrival was hailed by pro- cession with brass bands. In England the first pigeon race was held in 1875 from Newcastle-on-Tyne to Bexhill. The sport caught on rapidly, especially In Lancashire and Yorkshire. and such long distance flights as from Manches. ter to San Sebastian 600 miles) have been achieved.-London Standard.

HEROES OF MEDICINE.

Many an Obscure Physician Has Died
 For Humanity's Sake.
 The physicians who have met death from diphtheria, from smallpox, from tuberculosis in the heroic discharge of duties so common as to seem trivial, cannot be computed. Time has failed to keep a record of the noble dead. A roster of their honored names is out of our power. Obscure heroes who have fallen in the strife for humanity fill our churchyards. where they sleep in unacknowledged graves.
 St Paul boasted he was citizen of no mean city. We may boast in the same spirit that we belong to no mean profession. to no ignoble calling, and while ungrateful bene1cfaries may ac. cuse us of practicing medicine for money. we may be sure that alike in city and in country. alike among the homes of wealth and the novels of des- titution, there exists great body of men who by unsel1shness. by fortl tude, by kindness and charity. sustain amply the traditions and fulfill worth fly the scope of our noble calling. To those men what is a money fee? It is not time and study and care alone that they offer to the afflicted. It is their own strength. their sleep. their very lives that they lavish upon them, and what is fee in exchange? Do men sell their blood for gold?-"Recre- ations of Physician" by A. Stuart M.

ONCE A MIGHTY CITY.
ypres, In Belgium. Was Famous Whom
 Berlin Was a Hamlet.

tpres, In Belgium. Was Famous When
 Berlin Was Hamlet.
 The little Belgian town of Ypres, in Belgium. in the heyday of it's great ness and prosperity ranked as large in the civilized world as Philadelphia, Chicago. Berlin and other big cities do today. Indeed. it was a splendid city when Berlin was mere hamlet of half civilized Slavs.
 It was in the days of the commercial greatness of Venice that Ypres at- tained the summit of it's prosperity. It was an important distributing cen- ter for the traffic which came mp through the Adriatic by boat, was car ried overland and then scattered from Belgium to England, France. Holland, Germany and other countries. It also had great manufactures, and in the fourteenth century its population ex ceeded 2O0,OOO, making it one of the largest cities in Europe. Ghent and Bruges, it's near neighbors. were no less prosperous. With the changing of the trade routes of Europe the wealth and population of Ypres disappeared until it has now less than 10000 peO pie.
 When one reads of the rise and de cline of these communities which flour. ished long before America was discov- cred 1t is interesting to speculate whether the same fate will overtake our own cities. Who can tell? To us their foundation seems substantial. but doubtless the worthy burghers of Ypres thought the same of their De- loved city 6OO years ago.-Philadeiphia Record

 ners and Placidity.
 The population of Norway is nearly met ln given area l venture to say that their coming and their going and their meeting would not make as much noise as one may hear every five min. utes on dozens of street crossings either in New York or in Chicago
 Norway is the country'of quiet voices. gentle manners and no noise. The steamers dock almost without sound and depart as silently. At Christian sand. where we touched first on Scan dina vian soil. people got on and off the steamer, farewe!ls were waved, the crowd on the dock moved about delib erately. but no voice was raised, there was no shouting. no physical unrest ex' pressing itself in squirming bodies or twisted features; they were almost as calm as the stars above them.
 All over Sweden and Norway one is attracted by the smooth skins, unwrin. kled cheeks and unfurrowed brows of both the men and the women. They have placid faces, as of men and wo- men who have not yet been in contact with our disease of striving to live all of life in a day. The trains slide away from the stations at the sound of a scarcely audible whistle, and there are no bells or shouted warnings; the crowds in the streets or elsewhere seem to pitch their voices out of the range of hearing of ears accustomed to the catarrhal rumble of London, the strident gabble of New York or the sibilant cackie of Paris,-The Late Price Collier i'll Scribners.
