The) Value of Diamonds.
Tbe price of a one-carat diamond
ring In a New York jewelry shop and
the price of a one-carat diamond at the
Kimberley diamond mines are two dif
ferent things. The fact is, a diamond
Is not worth so very much; it is the
labor and profit that makes It cost.
You can get an average one-carat dia
mond in the Transvaal for $0.33, while
you will be asked about $100 for it in
New York. The cost varies with size
and variety, but about $6.33 per carat
is the usual price. The entire output
"of diamonds in tbe Transvaal last year.
Including tbe finest gems, brought
abourSJlOOO, an average of $9.35 per
carat.

The Act or Yawning.
In his "Therapeutic Aspects" Dr. II.
Campbell says: "There can be little
doubt that one of the objects of yawn
ing is the exercise of muscles which
have been for a long time quiescent,
and the acceleration of the blood and
lymph flow which has In consequence
of this quiescence become sluggish.
Hence its frequency after one has re
mained for some time in the same po
sition e. g., when waking in the morn
ing. Co-operating with this cause Is.
sleepiness and tbe shallow breathing
which It entails. This factor, as well
as muscle quiescence, is apt to attend
the sense of boredom which one expe
riences in listening to a dull sermon
Hence it Is that the. bored individual la
apt to yawn. As in the case of slghlns,
the deep breath compensates for the
shallow breathing which Is so apt to

IN THE OLDEN TIME.
CELEBRATION OF INDEPEND.
ENOE DAY LONG AGO.
fleasian Band Furnished the Music
for the First Official Jollification
Noise in the Karly Days Wus Given
Secondary l'lnco on Programme.
X ye olden time they cel
ebrated "Independence
day" and not the
"Fourth of July." The
change o( name came
with the chnngc in the
manner of celebrating
the anniversary of the
signing of the declara
tion of independence.
Jinny people deplore the
present method of show
ing appreciation of na-
Uonal freedom and deplore as well the
fact that the rising generation speaks of
the coming "Fourth" rather than of "In
dependence day," a name so pregnant
with meaning, -rcrhaps the people who
"deplore" nre right.
One of The signers on that famous
Fourth of July, 1770, declared on his
deathbed that he would like to sleep a
century, then wake up to find out how
future generations were celebrating Inde
pendence day. If the old gentleman's
wish were to be granted, when he heard
the fish horns, the multitudinous snap
ping of John Chinaman red wrapped in
ventions, the reports of the dangerous
torpedoes and dynamite crackers he
might be willing enough to hurry back to
the tomb.
When some staid New Englander finds
fault with the present method of cele
brating the nation's birthday the noise
making small boy may with good grace
tell him that New England's patron
saint, John Adams, recommended that
the day be recognized by just such a din
as young America Is making. It U true,
however, that President John suggested
that the early part of the day should be
given over to solemn acts of devotion.
Then he said the day should be commem
orated "with pomp, parade, games,
sports, guns, bells, bonfires and Illumina
tions from one end of the continent to
the other for evermore." Of the first
celebration of a Fourth of July by the
continental congress Adams in writing to
his daughter said: "The people shouted
and huzzahed In a way to strike utmost
terror to every lurking tory. There was
a bprendid illumination and while a few
surly houses were dark the show would
ivc given King George a heartache."
Hessian Band Flayed.
On this first official celebration of
Fourth of July by Congress that body se
cured music for the day and at the same
time afforded the people a great chance
for nmuscment and laughter by forcing
the Hessian band, which was captured
by Washington at Trenton the December
previous, to play In the public square all
day long. There Is on record a fairly full
account of an Independence day celebra
tion which George Washington attended
as the guest of honor. The celebration
was held at the Spring gardens, near
AN OLD -
Alexandria, Va., "with a large company
of civil and military people of Fairfax
County."
Things were not particularly bright for
the colonial armies on the first anniver
sary of the declaration of Independence.
The soldiers nt Morristown heights, how
ever, under Washington's command each
received an extra gill of rum with his
ration in recognition of the day. The
third anniversary of the signing of the
declaration was made memorable by the
issuing of an order by the commander-in-chief
that all military prisoners under
the sentence of death should be pardoned.
Perhaps the most enthusiastic and
heartfelt celebrations of Independence
day did not take place on the day itself.
News traveled slowly in the year 1770,
and It was some days before New York
knew that the country had been declared
free. When the pleasing information did
reach there, however, the town went
wild. The king's statue was pulled down
and melted up into bullets for the Ameri
can armies. Two or three days after
New York had given vent to Its enthusi
astic feelings Boston celebrated. A Brit
ish army officer who was a prisoner in
the hub at the time wrote an account of
the rejoicings of the "deluded people."
lie was escorted by a band of patriots
to see the "goings on" and confesses that
he enjoyed the occasion as a break in a
rather monotonous life ot captivity. The
crowd of Bostonians tore down the lion
and the unicorn from the old headquar
ters of the British Government, after
ward the old Massachusetts state house.
It was not until after the signing of
the treaty of peace with Great Britain
that celebrations of Independence day
were held regularly in all places. Dinners
were favorite features of the day. Ev
erybody was invited and it was seen to
that there was enough for all. The citi
zen sat down at the outdoor table with
out any fear that a camion cracker was
to be exploded under him before lie had
finished his first course. Pandemonium
had not as yet come into general use as
a synonym for the features of the Fourth
of July. All through Virginia the public
and private feasts on Independence day
had as n dish what was known as Bruns
wick soup or stew. The name probably
arose from a desire on the part of the
Virginia householders to suggest that the
kingly house of Brunswick was "iu the
soup."
In the staid land of steady habits, Con
necticut, in the town of Hartford it was
the custom for years to have a great
dinner "in the field." A newspaper of
100 years or so ago gives an account of
one of these dinners and a list of twenty
toasts. The crack military companies of
the section were in attendance at the
dinner.
The Boston official dinners on Indepen
dence day were held In the hub's cradle
of liberty, Foneuil Hall. Edward Everett
Hale tells of one of the earliest Fourth of
July celebrations of his remembrance.
It was that of the year 1S33, and on that
day for the first time a great chorus of
school children sang "My Country, 'TIs
of Thee."
Character of Celebration Changes.
It was just about this time that the
character of the celebration ot the anni
versary ot the birthday of American in
Impendence began to change. Parades

were held as usual, but noise began to
take the place of speeches and in the
larger town3 of the reading of the declar
ation of Independence, which had always
been a feature of the celebration. The
opening of trade with China brought in
the small firecrackers and American fac
tories soon found the means of making
big ones. Noise assumed the scepter and
has reigned ever since. There is a strong
desire on the part of many people to-day
to change the character of the celebra
tion of Independence day and to make it
like unto that which it once was. All
sorts of plans have been suggested for a
more orderly and solemnly impressive
celebration of the republic's natal day.
The effort to change the methods of the
day's recognition arc being exerted in a
virile way, and it may be that the pres
ent generation will live to find something
more in the Fourth of July than a picnic,
the explosion of a pack of crackers under
a tin pan or the rush of a rocket which.

Au Episode of the Fourth.
Oh, yes. we had a glorious time, of
course. We always do. We didn't begin
firing till 7 o'clock, partly because it
wakes people up, and partly because it Is
so silly to use up nil your crackers be
fore breakfast, as some boys do, and
have none for the rest of the day, and
hate every one think jou a nuisance be
sides. We had no accidents; that is. notliiiiK
to speak of. l'olly burned two or tlin-e
of her lingers a little, but we made that
all right with soda and a t:is, and she
never cried a bit; but there w.ts an epi
sode, and it happened to tne. This was
the way it happened:
I wanted both my IiamK to n.e, and I
had a piece of punk in one of them, and
there was no place to lay it down, and
everybody else's hand'? were full, too, so
T well. I just put it into my pocket for
a minute. It was lighted, but I didn't
think it would do any harm just for a
minute. I forgot that I had a whole
bunch ot firecrackers iu that same pock
et. Suddenly I heard some one cry out,
"Tom is" afire!" and then there came a
puff of smoke in my face, and 1 felt
something hot against my leg. ami then
pop! snap! bang! crack, lizz, whizz! crack-
lety-bang! the crackers begau to go off
in my pocket!
Everybody was veiling, and jiu.t for
a minute I didn't kimw what to do. I
ran, but the crackers ran with inc. and
the faster I went the harder they popped,
Then all at once I saw what to do, ami
r pulled off my jackpt and threw it on
the grass. Luckily it was my jacket, and
not my trousers pocket!
Billy took it up and shook out the
crackers, and then he turned out the
pocket, but there wasn't much left to
turn. It was just a black rag, ami it
dropped into little pieces. Then thero
was a big piece that looked as if it had
once been white, and tliat, they said, was
my handkerchief, but I should never have
known it.
Well, of course they all laughed at me
a good deal, but 1 didn't mind much, for
it really was very funny, I suppose; but
my advice to other boys is. don't carry
crackers In your pocket, and if jou do,
don't put a lighted slow-match iu with
them! Laura L Ilichards.

REPORT OF A MAN OP EX
PERIENCE. What He Found in Western Canada, to
Induce Him to Settle.
SaulrSte. Marie, Mich., Feb. 20, 1900.
To whom It may concern, especially
to (hose who are desirous of obtaining
health and wealth for themselves and
families, I wish to state a few facts in
regard to the Canadian Northwest,
where I went, leaving Sault Ste. Marie
on Mny 2, 18'Jt), for the purpose of seek
ing :t better home for my family In the
future. I got a special rate ticket for
Ft. MeLeod, Alberta. Through Mani
toba aud part of Asslnlbola the farm
ers were busily employed ploughing
and seeding. I found tbe farmers very
kind and friendly, willing to talk and
assist in glviug me the particulars of
the country. At MeLeod I spent a few
days lookiug over some ranchers' stock,
which I was surprised to see looking
so well; they were In better condition
than any stock I ever saw In Michigan,
even those that had been stabled, and
most of these had never seen tbe Inside
of a shed or received any feed from
the hands of man. But as I was look
ing for mixed farm land, I found Me
Leod no place for me; It Is only fit for
ranching purposes.
Retracing my way back to Winnipeg,
I stopped off at Lethbridge, where I
found some of the greatest horse
ranches I ever had the pleasure of look
ing at; It lsji line, level country and
lots of water aud good grazing. At
Medicine Hat, which Is located In a Tal
ley. there were lots of sheep, cattle and
horses in the surrounding country and
til looking well.
On July 14 I went on to Reglna.
There I liegan to see mixed farming
lauds In abundance, and the crops look
ing remarkably well, and a long as
daylight lasted I saw the same all
nlong the line, and on the 15th day of
July I arrived In Winnipeg, just In time
for the exhibition. There I met with
one of the most beautiful pictures of
the world's records, for as soon as I
entered the grounds my eyes met with
all kiuds of machinery, all In motion,
aud the cattle, grain and produce of
the country was far beyond my ex
pectation. In fact It was beyond any
Industrial exhibition or agricultural
fair I ever visited, and I have seen a
good many.
From Iteglna to Prince Albert, a dis
tance of 2.10 miles, It Is all good for
mixed farming, and well settled, with
Borne thriving little towns. In some
places the grain, just coming Into head',
would take a man to the waist, and
the wild fruit along the line was good,
rich and In great quantities. From Sas
katoon on the south branch of the Sas
katchewan river, to Prince Albert on
the north branch of the Saskatchewan
river. Is oue of the best farming dis
tricts, without any doubt, that ever
laid face to the sun, and everything to
be found there that is necessary to
make life comfortable, all that Is re
quired Is labor. There Is lots of wood,
good water and abundant hay land,
and the climate Is excellent.
Prince Albert Is a flourishing little
place, situated on the north Saskatche
wan river, having a population of
about 1,800, with good streets and side
walks and churches of nearly every de
nomination, three school houses and
another one to be built at once, also a
brewery and creamery. - Here I stayed
for about four mouths, working at my
trade of brick laying, and met with
farmers and ranchers, with whom I
made it my special business to talk In
regard to the prospects. I also visited
several farmers for some distance out
in the country while crops were In full
bloom, and I may say that I never saw
better crops In all my travels than I
saw along the valley towards Stoney
ereek and Carrot river. In the market
garden there Is grown currants, both
red and black, and as line n sample of
roots and vegetables as ever went on a
market. The soli In and around this
district cannot be beaten for anything
you may wish to grow, and besides the
season Is long, giving rime for every
thing to mature. The cattle were look
ing as good as I saw anywhere, good
pasture and hay land, and plenty of
water wherever you go; the country Is
"dotted all around like islands with tim
ber Dt for fuel and building purposes,
and within a day's walk ot lumbering
woods, where lumbering and tie-making
Is carried on in winter. Both large
and small game is plentiful. There are
two good sawmills In this district, with
a good supply of all grades of lumber
all the year round, and: also two good
brickyards with an excellent quality
of brick. There Is no scarcity of build
ing material and at a reasonable price;
clothing and living are no higher than
I find In Michigan, and furthermore I
wish to say that there Is a great de
mand for laboring men all the year
round, and good wages, ranging from
$1.73 to f 2 per day, and from ?23 to $33
per month with board.
I wish to say that I am perfectly sat
isfied with the country, and I intend to
return to Prince Albert early in the
spring of 1000. Any reasonable man
can go there and In from five to ten
years make a good comfortable homo
for himself and family, and If any per
son Into whose hand this letter should
fall desires more Information, please
write to me and I will freely give them
my best opinion. I am writing this for
the beueilt of those who may want to
make a better home for themselves and
families or friends.
Trusting that this statement may bo
useful to you In the publication of your
next pamphlet and bs the means of
guid(ng at least some of those who are
in search of a home, I remain your
humble servant,

THE
The Missing Llae.
Bobby was writing his regular week
ly "composition," for It was la the old
days when compositions and declama
tions formed a part of the school exer
cises every Friday afternoon.
The subject of Bobby's essay was
'True Manhood," and he wished to end
It with a poetical quotation. He gnaw
ed his penholder, scratched his head,
and looked at tle ceiling, but the quo
tation would not come.
Then he turned to his elder sister.
"Itaebel," he said, "what's the line
that comes after this: 'Honor and
fame from no condition rise?' "
"I know," spoke up his younger sis
ter, and she promptly quoted:
" 'Vinegar never catches flies.' "
