Rise at Dswn and 8ssk Slssp with 8etting Sun. The strange colonies of hermits who have taken up their abode in the neighborhood of Locarno, Ronco and Orselina are increasing In numbers. One group, which occupies the wood ed plateau known as Monte Verita, Is 125 strong, and counts in Its members sfe German professors, three military officers, one of whom is married to a countess who also belongs to the sect, two doctors and a priest, says a corre spondent for the St Louis Globe-Dem ocrat. The majority are well to do, and ^ome are wealthy. As these pay well for anything they buy and do not trou ble about making converts, the inhab itants are on, friendly terms with them. They sleep in caves, are vegetarians and do not wear ordinary clothing. A linen hood and a shroud of the same material are the only garments they wear. Their feet, legs, arms and necks are uncovered, and the hair is never cut, though he men. trim their beards in a patriarchal, way. The Vbmen allow their tresses to float in the air. The motto of all is "Back to na ture." "The height of wisdom and philos ophy," they say, "is to understand na ture that alone brings peace and hap piness." They rise at dawn and go to sleep with the setting of the sun they eat only fruit and vegetables and drink only water. In the summer they have daily sun baths and in the winter snow baths. Sonle of them have extraordinary theories, which they carry out with great perseverance. One beautiful woman of 30, who was formerly a well-known singer at the Berlin opera, refuses to touch money, which she says is the, root of all eviL Her theory often lands her in difficulties, from which she occasionally extricates her* self by singing to her debtors. Another member only eats vegeta bles that ripen underground. A third confines himself strictly to raw eggs and potatoes. A fourth spends $25 a week among the poo.r villagers and keeps the doc tors busy by bringing to their notice cases for which he pays. All the colony are in the best of health and always appear perfectly happy, amiable and polite. Fooled the Grocer. T. Augustus Heinze, at a dinner in Butte, praised a western orator. "At the start," said Mr. Heinze, "this man secures the sympathy of his audience. There was, for instance, a distracted fellow who entered a gro cer's shop and said: 'I believe I am. an Injured husband, sir, and I desi to verify my suspicions by watching a house in the next street But I can only do this safely from the rear of your shop. Will you let me sit by the open window there for half an hour?' The grocer, patting the man's shoul der in kindly fashion, said: f. 'To be sure, my friend. Make yourself at home.' "Some time passed. Then the jeal ous husband rushed through the shop, rolling his eyes and muttering: 'I'll kill her! I'll go home and get the gun and kill her now.' 'Your wife,' said the grocer. 'Yes,' groaned the man. 'My false wife, my adored May. I can not doubt her guilt, and before sundown I shall be a murderer.' "The grocer tried to detain him, :but he got away. Nothing happened ln the w^y .of murcler for an hour or more and then, a little disappointed and suspicious the grocer made an in vestigation in the back of his shop, to find that there had been passed out through the open window three tubs of butter, a crate of eggs, two bags of flour and a dozen hams." Esperanto. "The other day, at the Cafe Neapolt tan, a favorite haunt of journalists and men of letters, French and for eign,' says a Paris correspondent, sat beside three tourists—an Austrian, a Bulgarian and an Italian—who, ignorant of one another's native tongue, talked in Esperanto.

Tfie only real perfect diamonds which are to be found on this globe are those which fall from the sky in meteorites all diamonds which are mined in the diamond fields of the world are only fragments of gems. That Is a startling statement, but a still more startling one is that all the diamonds to be found on this planet have fallen on the earth from the skies and liave. not, as most per sons suppose, been produced here like coal and other mineral products. Yet this is the latest scientific as sertion with regard to the world's stock of the precious stones. The whole stock of the Kimberly mines, with their unknown resources, and all the gems of this character to be found in. any part of the planet—all have fallen from space at some time or other. Somewhere in the illimitable dis tance ,there is a vast diamond factory, the only place where perfect gems are produced. The first piece of evidence is that the whole of the rock in which. Kimberly gems are found is similar to nothing else on earth it has been given -a distinguishing name (kimber ly) and it corresponds exactly with the matter of which meteorites are composed. In plain language, the whole of that vast mass of rock fell on earth from, the skies at some late period of the world's formation. This is rather staggering, but It must be remem-* bered that there is*a mountain in Ari zona which is acknowledged by all scientists to be a meteoric mountain. And diamonds are being found at that spot Diamonds are found practically In Superficial layers of the earth's crust that- is'another proof of their celestial origin. Further, the diamond crystals are formed like no others that are of earthly origin this Is regarded as a strong proof that-they fell from above. It is curious that earthly dia monds are not perfect-and-that some of them when first brought from Kim berly mines and exposed to the air explode and crack intoi several pieces. Now the stones which come down in meteorites also explode when they are taken from the protecting mass which covers them completely. This is due to the peculiar conditions which pre vail where the stones are produced and these conditions' can not prevail on. the earth as the oxygen prevents them. In order fX make a diamond it is necessary that the constituents should be- very hot' and then '.cooled quite suddenly nothing else, will ac count ior the peculiar shape of the crystals and the general formation of the gem. DR. FRENCH'S WATERMELONS. The Punishment He Meted Out to the Juvenile Thieves. Of all the favorites of the "storied past," in the matter of original clever ness and qualnthess of humor, few surpass Dr. French, of the little vil lage of Bath, N. H. Dr. French has been dead over 60 years, yet some of his unique adventures are household words to-day. One summer he possessed a crop of watermelons that made his heart glad and the sihall boy envious. One moonlight night the sin of envy was transmuted Into larceny, and the doc* tor was bereft of the finest of his patch. He said nothing, thought much, and apparently did nothing.^ But some eveningB later, before midnight, he re ceived. sudden summonses to the bed Bide of half a dozen small boys In the' neighborhood.' They were very ill, and vomited copiously. Dr. French then knew who had taken his melons, as he had inject ed a stiff dose of tartar emetic into some of his melons. Since he col lected his usual fee from each patient, he was quite indifferent to the fur ther punishment of the bad boys, and discovered a new source of profit in melon raising. But the story was too good to keep, and in later years he often repeated it. Lady Curzon's Voice. In the later years of her life only very intimate friends knew that Lady Curzon possessed a remarkably fine winging voice or that she had been a pupil of Mine. Marches!. ^People hard ly gave her the credit for hating self advertisement or for being' shy and yet she did one and was the other. Till the end she and her husband kept up tie liablt of their courtship days' when apart and telegraphed or cabled to each other dally. In view of Lady Curzon's untimely death, superstitious folk are pbinting to the fact that at t^e' Delhi Durbar she wore a dtass with a design of the unlucky pea cock's feather. Her young friends chaffed her on this at the time and ioid her that no wearer of peacock feathers ever had good luck there after. To Prohibit Barmaids.
