SHEER LUCK. When the great pink diamond of Guznee reached Europe, it created widespread interest and took immediate rank with the historical stones of the world. It was compared with the finest gems in the royal and imperial regalia, savants wrote learned disquisitions upon its beauties and its peculiarities, and the magazines and newspapers spoke of its value in a way that made one’s mouth water. Among others whose envy was aroused by the descriptions of the stone was a Mr. Lamorock, a gentleman who had passed under many aliases in his career and who had only recently been released from Portland, where he had been sequestered for mistaking the proprietorship of a check. As he read of the great diamond his eyes sparkled at the thought of its worth. There it was—£100,000—and you could put it in your waistcoat pocket. But how to get it? The ex-convict as he pondered over the subject knew the task was not an easy one. The papers imparted the confidence that it was in Messrs. Bousfield Brothers’ safe at Bristol. But burglary was not in his line. There are grades of refinement in all professions, and he looked upon burglary as vulgar; besides which night watchmen, strong rooms and electric alarms made such work hazardous and only fit for people better supplied with physical strength than brains. The first step was to obtain the confidence of the Bousfields. To get this? An introduction. How? To forge it. Without more ado he wrote a short note to Congleton & Co., the celebrated diamond merchants of Hatton Garden, asking them if they would care to buy some old family jewels and received a reply expressing their willingness to inspect them. After studiously examining the caligraphy of their letter with a magnifying lens he set himself to practicing a number of curves and flourishes on a sheet of paper. An hour’s work seemed to satisfy him, and he then indited the following epistle: HATTON GARDEN, Jan. 4 Messrs. Bousfield Brothers: DEAR BLIUS—As a client of our desires to inspect your pink diamond known as “The Light of Guznee,” with a view to purchase, we should feel obliged if you would send it to us. Our Mr. Lamorock will call upon you in a few would help to keep him awake. He once thought that the fumes of his companion’s cigars might be affecting him and opened both windows. But he found the cold air had no effect. The intruder also began to look as if he would soon follow Bousfield’s example. He very tried to look wide awake, but his lids would droop heavily, his head would sink down upon his chin and he would then pull himself together by a supreme effort and try to sit up straight. Their respective struggles to keep awake, however, grew more and more feeble until the pair finally collapsed in their corners and slept as if they would never wake again. When the train arrived at Swindon Junction, the guard discovered them all asleep, and after trying in vain to rouse them up, the conviction dawned upon him that it was a case of foul play. The three patients were taken out and removed to the hospital, arrangements being made by the police that on their recovery all three should be detained in custody pending investigations. So when they had been brought round to consciousness they were taken to the police station. Harry Bousfield easily established his identity, and was set at liberty, but the information that the police obtained about his companions, the revolvers they found in both their overcoats, two telltale cigars and two equally damning cigar stumps, the remnants of curacao in the flask and a very suspicious false beard—all these incidents led to their arrest, trial and subsequent conviction. Scotland Yard keeps the flask as a curiosity, for it has two compartments from which the contents can be drawn at the will of the owner by a light pressure on a secret spring. Both compartments contained curacoa, but what was left of one sample was found to be drugged while the other was pure. The jovial gentleman, like Lamorock, had had his imagination fired by the accounts that the newspapers gave of the great pink diamond. He had wormed it out of a clerk in Messrs. Bousfield’s office that the junior partner was taking it up to town, and he thought that the opportunity for which he had waited so long had at length arrived. Tearing away to his lodgings, he had provided himself with his flask and a revolver and was just in time to catch the train. When the whole facts were revealed in the police court, the mutual astonishment of Lamorock and the jolly DIAMONDS IN AMERICA Half a Billion Dollars Worth Of Here—Amount Rapidly Increasing In no country are there more monds to be found than in the United States, according to the population is estimated by a leading Maiden (New York) diamond dealer that are upward of $500,000,000 worth diamonds in this country. More this vast amount is increasing year. Until quite recently diamonds rarely cut in this country, but lean inventors have developed a process for diamond cutting which is vast perior to that done abroad. The loss in weight through cuts sometimes fully one-half, but there is increased probably more than fold. The Dutch city of Amsterdam been the great diamond cutting center of the world from time immemorial up to a few years ago over 12,000 people in that place were directly dependent upon this trade. But it was not reasonable to say that Amsterdam should continue to monopoly of diamond cutting. Of the greatest importing cities worldwide, New York gradually offered deuces to diamond cutters, industry has been gradually buoyed there that is now very flourishing profitable. In 1858 Henry D. M. Boston invented a machine for polishing diamonds, and since improvements have been made that are very important. The force continues to polish their stones but in this country machinery is used. A famous gem expert places the value of all the diamonds in the at over $1,000,000,000, of which 300,000 worth are in the hands of carriages, who owns them? This is easily answered, except in the large and world famous gems — Magazine. A Startling Test To save a life Dr. T. G. Men No. Mehoopany, Pa., made a test resulting in a wonderful He writes, “A patient was able with violent hemorrhages, caused ulceration of the stomach. I found Electric Bitters excellent.” HATTON GARDEN, JAN. 4. Messrs. Bousfield Brothers: DEAR SIN: As a client of ours desires to inspect your pink diamond known as "The Light of Guinee," with a view to purchase, we should feel obliged if you would send it to us. Our Mr. Lamarock will call upon you in a few hours after you receive this letter and will bear a note vouching for his identity. We shall be happy to undertake all risk and responsibility for the stone from the time it is intrusted to the custody of our representative, and we beg to remain yours faithfully. CONGLETON & Co. When this production of his pen and brain had been carefully scrutinized, our caligraphist composed another short letter, which stated that the bearer was Mr. Lamarock, the representative of Congleton & Co. He then went out and bought half a dozen Havana cigars, four of which he steamed open and unrolled. Smearing the interior portion over with a dark, treacly liquid, he rolled them up again with expert fingers and put them into his case. The first letter he had written he sent by registered post, going down to Bristol by the same train that took the mail. But on his arrival there he waited for three hours so as to allow of it being delivered before calling. He then went to their office and presented his credentials, the genuineness of which were not for a moment suspected. The Bristol firm, who acted with great caution in all their business transactions, though it safer that the stone should be under the custody of their own representative and determined that one of their partners, young Harry Bousfield, should accompany Lamarock up to London, taking it with him. This, however, was a contingency provided for both by Lamarock's cigars and by a neat little revolver that nestled in the pocket of his greatcoat. It was a bitterly cold day, and a biting east wind made them shiver in spite of their coats and wraps—so much so that they mutually regretted that the operation of securing a reserved carriage left them no time to pay a visit to the refreshment room. They had just seated themselves comfortably and the train was already in motion when an elderly gentleman, with a jovial red face and black, bushy whiskers, opened the door and bundled himself in. Bousfeld was annoyed and Lamarock disgusted, but as the intruder was profuse in his apologies and it was too late to mend matters they had to accept the situation with the best grace they could. After the lapse of a quarter of an hour he had talked their reserve away and proved himself so amusing a companion that they all became quite friendly, and then Lamarock, who had grown suddenly amiable, pressed the others into accepting a cigar apiece. The jolly faced intruder was not to be outdone in hospitality. He opened his handbag and with a merry wink produced a flask of curacao, which the intense cold mads particularly acceptable to them all. Lamarock, indeed, found the liquor so delirious that he took two glasses. He was left of one sample was found to be drugged while the other was pure. The joyful gentleman, like Lamorock, had had his imagination fired by the accounts that the newspapers gave of the great pink diamond. He had wormed out of a clerk in Messrs.

Tearing away to his lodgings, he had provided himself with his flask and a revolver and was just in time to catch the train.

Most people think that the Dutch are a stationary if not a retrograde people, but in one respect at least they are ahead of most European nations.

Next year, in token of this progress, Dutch women will hold a world's fair at The Hague, which is to be devoted solely to the exhibition of women's activities and industries. Side by side with this progress of women's work there has been an advance in the political field. This year, says The Humanitarian, the government has passed a law conferring almost an equal suffrage upon women and making them eligible to nearly all municipal offices. In Holland women have learned the advantage of co-operation and organization, and instead of being divided against themselves as in other countries they have worked together, with a result that they are winning all along the line.

Lamorock, indeed, found the liquor so delicious that he took two glasses. Before they got half through their cigars he noticed with satisfaction that the conversation began to slacken and that his companions showed a disposition to go to sleep. Bousfield was the first to succumb to somnolence, and Lamorock even began to feel sleepy himself. He fought against the sensation by getting up to admire the colored photographs beneath the hat rails and by trying to fix his attention upon the passing scenery. He opened his cigar case, counted and examined the contents and looked puzzled. He was apparently satisfied that he had not given himself one of the drugged cigars, for he puffed vigorously away at his stump, hoping that it All Humors Are impure matters which the skin, liver, kidneys and other organs can not take care of without help, there is such an accumulation of them.

Chivalry used to be described as a southern virtue, and though we do not wish to imply that the men of the north are unchivalrous it is quite possible that in the south women are still regarded with a greater degree of formal reverence than elsewhere. A native of Texas describes with enthusiasm the women of his state and snows why they cannot fail to excite admiration. "They are," he declares, "sweet, polite, gracious and courageous; they do not ocurse or swear; they do not use slang, and are not drunkards. Most of them ride well on horseback and can use the six shooter, but do not want to take away a man's job or position." Could a more engaging picture be drawn? These lovely compounds of sweetness and strength know their power, but do not abuse it. They may resent injury in the most effective fashion, but they are not mean. They will hesitate before shooting a man who has a family dependent upon him. They are no mere amazons. The fact that they do not curse and swear shows that they possess also the gentler domestic virtues. Those who are in search of the ideal girl should purchase a ticket for Texas.—Providence Journ The Artist Monet. Claude Monet, the impressionist artist, who lives in the picturesque village of Giverny, in Normandy, is thus described by a correspondent of the Boston Transcript: "Monet is now a wealthy man, but the house he has enlarged is quite like that of the surrounding peasants; white plaster, with a red tiled roof, narrow and low and long; so long that it is in its length only that it shows its superiority over its neighbors; for his family is large. But though the house itself is simple the glory of it is in its garden, and this is truly superb. Personally he is an interesting looking man of about 60, strong and rugged, the type of a refined peasant, and it is that that his clothes designate him to be, for he wears the big clumsy wooden sabots of the country, combined with the finest linen, with hemstitched ruins as neat and wrinkle."

FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. Sketch of the industries and Resources or this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 41 miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, REST. Let us rest ourselves a bit! Worry! Wave your hand to it.

Kiss your finger tips and smile Is farewell a little while! James Whitcomb Riley Derivation of Fad. The derivation of this word is possibly traceable in the Welsh language. By the law of mutation of initial consonants peculiar to that tongue—the root words fledd and medd are convertible terms. Their essential meaning is possession; transitive or intransitive, possession of something, or the act of being possessed or engrossed by some occupation or vice. Welsh medd, and Irish Sanakrit, and English mad, have similar meanings and are probably kindred words. The word mad is not common in Teutonic idioms, so that the Anglo-Saxons probably borrowed it from the Welsh. Fad is therefore equally derivative from fledd. Proximately, of course, it comes from the midland dialects and ultimately from some root word common to many members of the Aryan family of speech. It would be strange if the two words, mad and fad, having a similar meaning, should be traceable to the same root.—Notes and Queries Dr. Nansen, on his recent return to London, said to a newspaper reporter "Peary is taking a good route to the pole."

Mr. Bifferly, "the 'goose egg' term, time honored and once commonly employed, is now no longer used. Two other terms, once as familiar and almost as commonly used, but now put away on the same shelf with the goose egg, are the 'redhot grounder' and the 'daisy cutter.'" The daisies grow now just as they did then, for which let us be duly grateful, but the baseball is a daisy cutter longer. The balls are heated now redhot as ever—if anything, a little bitter—but such a ball is no longer described by the phrase, once familiar, a redhot grounder." The extreme warmth of the sphere is now referred to in some other manner.

The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties. No. farms. Acres. Los Angeles .6577 895,063 Orange .2888 495,436 Riverside .2440 427,067 San Bernardino .2550 219,122 San Diego .2698 809,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties. Acres. Los Angeles .85,644 Los Angeles .414,049 Riverside .32,947 San Bernardino .37,947 San Diego .16,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20,055; and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These word mad is not common in Teutonic idioms, so that the Anglo-Saxon probably borrowed it from the Welsh. Fad is therefore equally derivable from fledd. Proximately, of course, it comes from the midland dialects and ultimately from some root word common to many members of the Aryan family of speech. It would be strange if the two words, mad and fad, having a similar meaning should traceable to the same root. Notes and Queries Dr. Nansen, on his recent return to London, said to a newspaper reporter "Peary is taking a good route to the pole. He is in the foremost rank of arctic explorers, and I believe he will be successful. I do not think there is any doubt of the possibility of reaching the pole in the way he is going to work, and it will be comparatively easy for a man of his caliber. The story that I intend to accompany him is not true, that report being, no doubt, based on the statement that Peary was going in the ship that brought me home." Quick Arrest J. A.

A "Queer" Preacher. Rev. Mr. Hugamore, to whose memory is a slab in the church at Catshooge, Leicestershire, England, was "a little queer." It seems that the reverend gentleman died in January, 1886, leaving all of his property valued at $8-500, to a railroad porter. This queer old preacher kept one servant of each sex, whom he locked up every night. His last employment of an evening was to go to the rounds of his premises, let loose the dogs and fire off his gun. He lost his life in a curious manner. Starting out to let out his servants, the dogs fawned upon him and threw him into a pond of water. The servants heard his cries, but being locked up could not render assistance, so the old man was drowned. When the inventory of his property was taken he was found to be the owner of 80 gowns; 100 pairs of trousers; 100 pairs of boots; 400 pairs of shoes; 80 wigs (although he had plenty of natural hair); 50 dogs; 96 wagons and carts; 80 wheelbarrows; 249 razors; 80 plows; 50 saddles and 222 pickaxes and shovels.

The man who runs the race of life when his aggressive and nuttive organs are diseased is equally handicapped. In one case his strength is overweighted, in the other it is underlined.

He was taken with what our physicians here said was indigestion. I doctored with the best ground here and found no relief. I wrote to you and sent me a question blank to fill out, and I did so, and you then advised me to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. Straight On.

An author now both rich and famous calls how he earned his first sixpence. His father had been for 27 years engaged in a suit in chancery and had just claimed his cause. The expenses of the suit, however, had swallowed up the entire estate, the residue being merely $36.6d. My father, he relates, ranged the 7 sixpences on our breakfast table. "My boy," said he, "see what comes going to law in Great Britain. Your mother has told you that I have won my suit in chancery?" "Yes, tather." "Well, then, look! That is all I get of it," and he painted grimly at the sixpences. I opened wide my eyes. "All you get of the whole suit?" I echoed, with a puzzled air, convinced that a suit in chancery was composed, as other suits are, of a coat, waistcoat and trousers. "Why, father, those are only the ladies!"

Stomach and bowel troubles, severe as they are, give immediate warning by pain, but liver and kidney troubles, though less painful at the start, are much harder to cure. Theford's Black-Draught never fails to benefit diseased liver and weakened kidneys. It stirs up the torped肝 to throw off the germs of fever and ague. It is a certain preventive of cholera and Bright's disease of the kidneys. With kidneys reinforced by Theford's Black-Draught thousands of persons have dwelt immune in the midst of yellow fever. Many families live in perfect health and have no other doctor than Theford's Black-Draught. It is always on hand for use in an emergency and saves many expensive calls of a doctor. Mullins, S.C., March 10, 1901. I have used Theford's Black-Draught for three years and I have not had to go to a doctor since I have been taking it. It is the best medicine for me that is on the market for liver and kidney troubles and dyspepsia and other complaints. Rev. A. G. LEWIS. Pierce in his large practice as a Specialist in women's diseases, which is not like the many "patent medicines" on the market, as it contains neither alcohol nor any narcotic. It is purely vegetable. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. It cures headache, backache, nervousness, sleeplessness and other consequences of womanly disease. "Favorite Prescription" makes weak women strong, sick women well. Accept no substitute for the medicine which works wonders for weak women. $500 Reward FOR WOMEN WHO CANNOT BE CURED. Backed up by over a third of a century of remarkable and uniform cures, a record such as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money of the United States, for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they can not cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure. Their financial responsibility is well known to every newspaper publisher and druggist in the United States, with most of whom they have done business for over a third of a century. From this fact it will readily be seen how utterly foolish it would be for them to make the above unprecedented and remarkable offer if they were not basing their offer on curative means having an unparalleled record. No other medicine than Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription could possibly "win out," as the saying goes, on such a proposition. But they know whereof they speak. They have the most remarkable record of cures made by this world-famed remedy ever placed to the credit of any preparation especially designed, for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments. This wonderful remedy, therefore, stands absolutely alone as the only one possessed of such remarkable curative properties as would warrant its makers in publishing such a marvelous offer as is above made in the utmost good faith. WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, 663 Main Street, BUFFALO, N.Y. "I want to tell you of the great improvement in my health since taking your 'Favorite Prescription,' says Mrs. H. S. Jones, of Forest, N.C." When I began its use I was a physical wreck and had despaired of ever having good health again. Could not sit up all day. I noted a great improvement before the first bottle was all used. Was suffering with almost every pain that a woman is subject to: had inflammation of ovaries, painful and suppressed periods, and other symptoms of female disease. After taking six bottles of 'Favorite Prescription,' I felt like a new person. Can ride horseback and take all kinds of exercise and not feel tired." Hired Webster For a Week. Of course Webster was in demand by those who could afford to pay for his services. A sharp Nantucket man is said to have got the better of the great defender of the constitution in an amusing way, however. He had a small case which was to be tried at Nantucket one week in June, and he posted to Webster's office in great haste. It was a contest with a neighbor over a matter of considerable local interest, and his pride as a litigant was at stake. He told Webster the particulars and asked what he would charge to conduct the case. "Why," said Webster, "you can't afford to hire me. I should have to stay down there, he whole week, and my fee would be more than the whole case is worth. I couldn't go down there for less than $1,000. I could try every case on the docket as well as one, and it wouldn't cost any more, for one case would take my time for the entire week anyway." "All right, Mr. Webster," quickly responded the Nantucketer. "Here's your $1,000. You come down, and I'll fix it so you can try every case." Webster was so amused over this proposition that he kept his word. He spent the entire week in Nantucket and appeared on one side or the other in every case that came up for hearing. The shrewd Nantucketer hired Daniel out to all his friends who were in litigation and received in return about $1,500, so that he got Webster's services for nothing and made a good profit to boot.—Boston Herald.
