CITY MAN’S DREAM OF FARM If He Can Make It Come True There Should Be a Great Uplift of Agriculture. Every right-feeling city man looks forward to spending hia old age on a farm in the country. Thia is a true itatement, but subject to modifies iions. In the first place, the farm will be in the country, but not too far in. The Idea Is to have it near enough the city to run in for a night at the theater and <et home again by 12:30. The farmhouse will be a little more jomplicated than farmhouses usually are. It will be hot-water heated and vacuum cleaned. It will have of tiled bathrooms perhaps three, a Dutch kitchen, an oak-painted dining room. S library, billiard room, den, smoking room, a Louis Quatorze drawing room and bedrooms with period furniture. Farmers whose tastes are not so simple will doubtless add a pergola and a aunroom to this plain, but serviceable, equipment. The farm, whether it is 10. 50 or 100 acres, must have a cow, chickens snd a garden. The cow will lay milk ind butter, the chickens will lay eggs rod broilers and the gardens will lay vegetables and small fruits. Also there will be an orchard that will lay apples. Since the farm is to be selfxnitained, it will raise its own violets mushroonia and American Beauty roses, and will, of course, have a gasoline well at which the automobile can be watered. While the owner of the larm v.ll. net engage in the actual manual Übi r of tilling the toll, he npects rnatly to assist nature by exercising an ioulllgent supervision ’jver the growing crops. With him bossing the job and halt a dozen farm hands doing the chores, agriculture may well apprehend a great uplift.— Toronto btar. VALUE OF WORLD’S DIAMONDS Estimates That Finished Output Could Be Packed In Box Measuring 3x6xß Feet. Diamonds of the weight of twentyeight and two-fifths tons, which would fill a spac<* of ten and one-half cubic yards and have a value of nearly sl,000,000,000, have been taken from the earth from the earlieat time to the present day, according to the estimate just made by M De Launay, the well known metallurgist, writes the Paris correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger. These figures, however, only con ?ern the stones before cutting which reduces their weight volume by half, but multiplies their value by five. A box three feet high, six wide and eight long would thus hold the total world’s output of these gems In their finished condition and would have a market value of 34.700.000,000, accord Ing to present prices. Os this quantity according to M De Launay, 100.000.000 carats of the value of $85,000,000 have been con tributed by India, the source of all diamonds from ancient times up tc I the eighteenth century, and 12.000.00 i carats of the value of 3100,000,000 by Brazil between 1723 snd 1910. Tbest fields are now. however, practically exhausted, and gems representing 142,000.000 carats of the value of S7OO. 000,OOu would come from South As rica. which Is now almost the aok source of the world's supply. Apart from South Africa. Mr. D» • launay says, the only other diamond fields which count at all are those ot New South Wales, the annual output of which, according to the last fig urea, is 2.206 carats Father of All Hot Springs. The Sprudel la the most ancient of J all Carlsbad's fountains, the father of all hot springs, and still pours forth in primeval vigor the greatest flood of all. It rises like a geyser In Its basin, a steaming, spouting column an Inch and a half thick and from six to thlr-1 teen feet high. Around it stands prieetesses, the spring-girls, dressed in white water-proof uniforms. They tlx the drinking cups at the end of poles and catch the water aa It comes fresh from the earth * heart. The peologlsts call Ctrlsbad's fountain virgin or volcanic water. They have their sources In no rainfall sinking to Itll subterranean reservoirs. Created in those glowing inner laboratories of the mother earth, the water here leaps to light and air for the first time Pagan memories seem to stir tn one at tb* thought. it becomes easy to believe that the springs bring from recesses where It has lurked bidden since creation, some magic, unspoiled, primeval energy, and that the cheerful. smiling Orman peasant girls who toll so tirelessly are captive woodland creatures serving forces more ancient than tho gods - Harper s Magazine. Nil Desperandum. Percy Parkington rose and brushed the dust from bls knees Then, drawing himself up to his full height, be gazed resentfully upon the form ot Miss Muriel Muggins, who nonchalant ly fanned herself the while. "Very well. Miss Muggins, came in bitter tonea from Percy. "Ob. very well! Tou have spurned me, it Is true! Indeed, you have spurned, mo twice!
