KOH-I-NOR’S STORY ENDLESS
Complete Tale of Matchlsss Diamond, Now One of British Crown Jewels, Wm Never Told. All the world has heard of the Koh-f-nor, or, as it has been sometimes 'called, the Great Mogul diamond, and It would seem that there was nothing more to be said about it. remarks Eleanor Maddock fn Asia Magazine. Yet, in point of fact, not a tenth part of its history has eyer been traced, so far does It eitend back into the vistas of the past. Perhaps one of the strangest things about it is that it cannot be lost to the world indefinitely. It was bricked and plastered up in a wall and miraculously found after'its former owner had been murdered. It was twice thrown away as a bit of glass and once went to , the washerwoman in the pocket of an Englishman’s drill suit This matchless gem is called in India the “Mountain of Light" and the “Talisman of Kings;” the latter because it was said to bring sovereignty to Its possessor. Strangely enough, after it fell into the hands of a Turkish slave of illegitimate origin, a line known as the “Slave Kings” sat on, the throne of Delhi for eighty years, during which period the desire to possess the talisman amounted to a frenzied obsession. Suddenly It disappeared In the chaos that brought the slave dynasty to an end in 1290. The Koh-i-nor later scintillated without bloodshed through the reign of Shah Jahan down to his son Aurangseb, who exhibited it to a nnmber of Europeans whom he was entertaining at bis court. Among them was Tavernier, the French jeweler, who later wrote a descriptive account of it for the delectation of Europe. After being tossed dike a shuttlecock In the Delhi loot, and remaining for a period of years with the Sihks In the Punjab, this most celebrated diamond in the world now rests on a purple velvet cushion among Britain’s crown jewels in the grim old Tower-of London.
Hew Wit Helps Legislation.
It Is sometimes said that a reputation for wit is fatal to a serious legislative career. But the statement Is not altogether true, for more than once a bit of wit has prevented legislative folly. It is a, tradition In Philadelphia that during the constitutional convention it was proposed to incorporate in the a provision that the United Stgtes army should never exceed 8,000 men. According to the tradition the debate, which was possibly informal and outside the regular sitting; was abruptly cut short when Benjamin Franklin solemnly suggested that there be incorporated another clause making it part of the organic law of the land that no for- ( elgn nation should ever Invade the country with an army of more than 8,000. A somewhat similar point was scored in the state legislature a few years ago when, during a discussion not over well based, It was proposed by a shrewd Yankee from the hills of Sunderland, F. L. Whitmore, that'n law should be enacted providing that no one should be obliged to work between meals.—Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
Tasmania Has Rare Mineral.
Tasmania now promises to become the world's chief producer for some time to com e of th e rire mineral osmirldlum. The various osmiridlum yielding centers of this extensive serpentine belt on the west coast are already giving profitable employment to 200 men, and it Is an easy matter for an industrious digger to earn up to £lO a week, while many are making double that and more. A' complete bulletin on thia highly interesting mineral occurence Is in course of preparation, and its publication, It is expected, .will attract the attention of the whole mining world to Tasmania, Last yead 1.670 ounces of oemlrldlum was pro- • duced in Tasmania, the value being * £24 per ounce.
Machine Needed.
Cotton might become much cheaper if some ingenious Inventor would devise a mechanical means for picking it—the work of picking being the costly item, in time and labor. There are cotton-picking machines on the . market, but none of them is very satisfactory. One of them operates on the principle of a vacuum cleaner, sucklngdhe bolls off the plants through rubber tubes. Another utilises steej bristles for entangling the bolls. When a really practical contrivance for the purpose is obtainable, an average farm family in the South will be able to produce forty bales at cotton in a season. Instead of seven bales.— New York Thuds.
Kill a Million Prairie Dogs.
Complete extermination of what was considered one of the largest prairie teg "towns” in the West has been reports to the predatory animal inspector's office at Phoenix, Aria., by the Chlrlcahua Cattle company of Cochuise county, southeastern Arlsona. More than 1.000,000 prairie dogs were estimated to have lived on the company's ranch of more .than 80,000 acres until the management started an offensive campaign against them. Now their vast honeycombs of underground burrows tee utterly deserted, the company reported.

BERANGER’S HEART TOO KIND
Great French Poet Continually Preyed On by a Host of IngratM Who g Plucked Him. Interesting anecdotes are told of the great French poet, Beran ger, who died In 1857. 4 ; The poet was as poor as he was generous, AU lie had he gave away, and when there was nothing left he z sent the beggars who haunted his house to call on his numerous friends. One of the characteristics of this unfortunate -benefactor, who was always surrounded by a host of ingrates, was his tolerant spirit.. Since there was no ante-chamber in his modest home, the beggars who knew the bpuse stayed outside on the staircase; It was impossible to see him without finding a half-dozen of them on the stairs. There they used to wait like ravens for the small change, old clothes, and sometimes new clothes, that Lisette was the first to distribute to them. When friends remonstrated with, Beranger for giving away things he needed to people whom he did not know, Lisette would answer: “Oh, now, Berange will Just write another song—the laiy fellow!"
MAN IS AFTER INFORMATION
After Listening to Much Sage Advice, BUI Jonee Wants One Master Cleared Up. Our friend Bill Jones is a traveling man and needs rest, but unfortunately he doesn’t sleep well. He has conr suited a number of doctors in the various towns he visits, and being a systematic person has made a sort of digest of the advice he has received. It sums up as follows: Don’t sleep on your left side, as that creates a pressure on the hpart. Don’t sleep on your right side, as it interferes with the action of the right lung. Don’t sleep on your back, as that is bad for the nervous system. Don’t sleep on your stomach, as that causes 'a pressure bad for the digestion. Don’t sleep In a chair, as the body cannot properly relax. Bill wants to know If any one can tell him how to keep from falling over when he sleeps standing up.
Got Her Revenge, Ail Right.
“Gentlemen of the Jury,” the emi-nent-counsel- wound up bis oratjon, “I leave the rest to you. You are Americans; you come of a valorous race. As men;- you would scorn to insult a woman —or intreat one—to say aught which is unbecoming or unmannerly to one of the gentler sex—” He paused, with an angry glance at the back of the court, where there was a sudden disturbance. Then he shrank back as a stern-looking woman faced him coldly.; “And' only this morning,” she said loudly, "that man called me a meddlesome old cat!" She was his mother-in-law. —Rehoboth Sunday Herald. \
A Truthful Sign.
A friend of mine bought a new car, and on our first ride are came to a sign which read, “Road loosed.” “Don’t believe In signs,” he remarked, and we drove on.. The next thing I remember Is picking myself up from the creek where the bridge whs out. My confident friend came to at last and rubbed bls head. Tm a .firtn'believer in signs from now on,”' he remarked, and we hired a farmer to pull the car home.' —Chicago Tribune.
Here's Something Worth Knowing.
Listen to this, fishermen. There’s a man residing in New York state who has discovered a reliable way to learn when the fish are biting. Without going to a stream and trying his luck. Here is the formula: Catch ahd keep alive a catfish. WHbn you wish to go fishing, dig some worms and throw them to the catfish. If he eats' them, the fish will bite ; but if he don’t, you might as well stay at home.—Exchange. ' ' r

WAIL FROM THE PESSIMIST
Unkind Remark Might Have Tended to Becloud the Happiness of Pro- . spectivs Bridegroom. * He was a young man who had come into town to be married. At the station he inquired for a minister and the names and addresses of several were given him. But all of them seemed so t far from the station that he asked for one nearer. “Well, I don’t know of any nearet than this one,”' the informer pointed to one number. “But you’ll find a justice of the peace just about a block from here, son.” The young man shook his head. “I don’t want a justice of the peace,” he said. “I don’t like the sound of that." . A ms'll leaning against the window rose. “Oh, you won’t mind so much afterward about that sound,” be said. “Thia affair is goin’ to mark the end of all the peace you’ve ever had.”
WIFE WAS READY FOR HIM
Had Thought Up Somewhat Disconcerting Answer to Question That Got on Her Nerves. An Indianapolis man is fond of corn but will not eat peas. His wife on the contrary, likes peas and does not care much for corn. That is one source of irritation in their family. Another is his salutation the minute he enters the bouse. It consists of the question: “Hello, cook, what’s the feed today?” The other evening she was tired and she had already decided to teach him a lesson. One part was that she was no longer going to cook just what he liked; the other was to vary his greeting to her. So when he opened the door and called out: “Hello, cook, what’s the feed?” she was ready for him. Back floated her disconcerting answer: “Coro for the hogs and peas for the neople.”
Some Few Preliminaries.
Mrs. Brownjones couldn’t help feeling Interested in the approaching marriage of her servant, although she was really very sorry to lose the girt. “And you have made all the preparation for your wedding, Mary?” she asked one day, when the time of parting drew near. “You leave me in 10 days, don’t you?” “That all depends, mum,” replied the girl brightly. “Depends on what?” exclaimed the mistress, hope born again in l her heart “Well, it depends If I can bfe ready in time,” Mary exclaimed. “Pre got to buy me trosso and get me intended a job, and buy him a new suit of clothes, and arrange for some regular charring for meself. When I’ve done all that I am going to name the happy day!”
Grandpa Could See for Himself.
Grandpa had a birthday and daddy gave Junior a box of cigars to give grandpa, saying, “What are you going to say when you give this to grandpa, Junior?" Junior replied, “Happy birthday, grandpa.” “Yes,” said father, "and many of them.” Junior looked reprovingly at his fath-. er and said, “Oh, no, daddy, I murn’t say that. He’s supposed to open it and then he’ll see there’s many them." s
The Bachelor Tax.
George Ade, apropos of the French bachelor tax of 10 per cent, said at the Chicago Athletic club: “Thia tax will no more cause, bachelors to link up than the remark of old Lusher did. * Toung man,’ said old Lusher, *yeu ought to marry. A cosy home, a loving wife, beautiful children—there’s nothing like It on earth? And then, above all, you have the sweet recollection of your jolly bachelor days.’*
Just as Advertised.

Approved Subject to Conditions.
Mrs. a movement on foot to compel husbands to pay salaries to thelrr wives the same, as to anyone else, who works for them. Don’t you think that’s fair? Her Husband —Eminently fair; if the husband reserves the right to fire those who prove unsatisfactory.
