A FAMOUS DIAMOND

Diamonds commonly supposed to be the
emblem of clearness and purity, seem to
have had an amazing influence for evil on
many individuals, and whole families.
There was the celebrated "Hope" or
"Blue" diamond which at one time formed
part of the French Crown jewels, and
brought the direst ill-luck to about dozen
people, including king, queen, princess
and sultan, who made it gift to his
favorite wife.
Lower down in THE scale wealthy
banker, an English lord, and famous
dancer who each owned this diamond in
turn, all met with sudden or terrible
deaths.
The latest instance of the evil fortune
which seems to accompany this wonderful
stone is that of the United States million
aire, whose wife owned the Hope Dia-
mond \Their cherished and carefully
watched boy managed to evade his nurses.
Running into the street, he was knocked
down and fatally injured by motor car.
Sometimes the "luck" of these famous
diamonds works, strangely. The Shah of
Persia is said to have been wearing such
a stone when he was involved in a rail-
way accident in Italy recently. But in
this instance the Shah escaped uninjured;
yet the evil influence of the diamond would
seem to have worked" since eighteen
other passengers were killed or injured.
Who can tell what has become of the
Orloff diamond that formed part of the
Tsar's sceptre? 1t was once the eye of
golden idol in the temple of Seringham.
A French soldier, listening to the stories
of the fabulous value of the idols eyes,
managed to gain the confidence of the
priests, and stole an eye from the, statue
After it had passed through many hands
and vicissitudes, the Russian Prince Orlof
bought it as a present for the Empress
Catherine and thus it became one of the
most priced of the Court jewels
Another diamond that has curious his
tory is the Kruger diamond, very beau
The mirror., 1921-03-10

tiful stone that Kruger took with him
when he left Africa. The stone at one
time belonged to Zulu chief, and the
Zulu king T'Chaka, had fancy for it
and made the chief hand it over. The
kings brother then envied it, and, after
killing his brother, decamped with the
stone, but it brought him nothing but ILL
luck.
Eventually he was killed, and no less
than six owners were either assassinated
or driven out of the country on account of
this gem. Then the whites had bid for
it, and three hundred lives were lost in
the ensuing fight Ultimately, a Zulu
named Memela got possession of it and
hid it in wound he received in battle.
Memela was captured by the Beers, and
becamc-a slave.
Kruger, hearing his story, had him re-
leased, and out Of gratitude, the Zulu gave
him the diamond. Kruger, after time,
was driven out of the country, and the
precious stone was sold to the late EN-
peror of Austria, and few men were more
unlucky than he.
1t is a rather curious fact that many
precious stones stolen from temples found
their way to Austria and Germany; none
of them remained for long in possession
Of an Englishman.
The Cullinan diamond, the largest dia-
mond known, and twenty-nine times the
size of Koh-i-noor, was found quite by
accident by miner returning from his
work in mine near Johannesburg. His
eye caught something glittering by the
roadside, and it proved y be a portion
of the gem. The director of the Premier
Diamond Mine presented it to our late
King Edward.
Other valuable gems that have been
found quite by accident are the famous
Git diamond, discovered by slave. and
"The Star of the SoYth," beautiful stone
found in river by negress when en-
gagged in doing the family wash. An
other celebrated "star," the "Star of Afri-
Ca" was embedded for many years in
wall of mud hut until some astute per-
son picked it out.
Though, on the whole, the diamond
seems to bring more bad luck than good,
how many of us would refuse to accept
one ?-Selected

TO THE BUYING OF STOCKS
IS NO END

A shrewd, glib-tongued. individual
whose business it was to sell oil stock at
commission of IS per cent was telling, for
the benefit of the crowd at summer re-
sort miles from the scene of his activities,
of the ease and rapidity with which he
could dispose of his stocks among farmers
of a certain class. "You take the farmer
who has made bunch of money by the
hardest kind of work, the fellow who
never reads, and hes the easiest picking
/ can fnd," said the smooth -tongued
salesman. "The newspapers. and partic-
ularly the farm journals, would put US
out of business but for the fact that a
large number of folks will not read them.
I always begin by talking to the farmer
about the fool notions book farmers set
forth and how this country would go to
the dogs if it were not for the hard
headed farmers in the country who know
by actual experience what to do to make
money, and | never fail to land my man."
There were some retired farmers who
were present who were inclined to think
the fellow was untruthful, to put it mild
ly, but when they went home they began
quiet little investigation to find out if
it were true. They discovered in their
immediate neighborhood dozen success
full, rich farmers who were stockholders
in some of the worst swindles>on the mar
ket and ready to swear by the reliability
of the concerns. One man who declined
to invest in Liberty bonds, on the ground
that if we lost, the war the bonds were
worthless had all his surplus capital in
