In a Vast Treasure Vault Are Dia monds Almost Inexhaustible In Quantity of Which Twenty to Thir- ty Million Dollars' Worth Are Min- ed Each Year--S8outh African Town Is Very Unassuming, After All. Kimberley is the Lord's greatest treasure vault. Stored away, here in five mighty pipes of hard rock, going down no ome knows how deep into the earth, is a blue clay sprinkled with diamonds. Already more than $500; 000,000 worth of precious stones have been taken from them, and there are still hundreds of millions in sight. For many years the sales have amounted to from $20.000,000 to $30.- 000,000, and there are to-day lying here in the open fields still mixed with this clay, diamonds which would have set Aladdin crazy or made cove- tous the heart of Sinbad the Sailor, These mines lie right close to Kim- berley. They form a necklace around it, and that, one of the most valu- able necklaces on earth. The neck- ce is decorated anew every yéar with $25,000,000 worth of brilliants, which are taken from these mines. They are allowed to blaze away for a few months under the African sun, and are then shipped off to dazzle the drawing-rooms of all parts of the | globe, The town is a strange one to 'be It has no palaces, nor sky-scrapers, and, like the jewels of Portia, its treasures are kept in caskets of lead. The offices of the diamond trust themselves are no better than many a 6x9 factory in the United States, and a few thous- { and dollars would equal the cost of any building inside the town. The most of the houses are bungalows of brick, roofed with galvanized iron. all have wide porches about them, and many have gardens filled with beautiful flowers. The city has wide streets and amusement grounds Tt. has a theatre, churches and hotels. | Its stores are large and its business is good. . The city is lighted by elec- tricity and it has all the modern im- The water comes from the Vaal river, which is seventeen miles away.

The Indian diamonds, ong whicii were the Kohinoor, th® Great Mogul, the Regent and the Orloff, alluvial washings com- posed of a mixture of broken sand- stone, quartz, jaspar, flint and gran- ite. The deposit was about twenty feet thick and was covered by a few 'eet of black cotton soil. It lay near the bed of a river in India. not far 'rom Golconda, which was the chief city to which the diamonds were tak- en and sold. The diamonds of Brazil | were first discovered in 1728. They were found in deposits of clay, quartz, pebbles and sand, buried under about thirty feet of other earth. They lay along the banks of rivers and in a few feet of black cotton soil. It is now over forty years since 'he first African diamond was found. A man named O'Reilly--not the one { who ran the hotel, but John O'Reilly, he hunter----made the first diamond liscovery. It was when he was stop- oing over night with a Boer farmer wt far off from Kimberley. During the evening he saw the children play- ing with some beautiful pebbles, He { «dmired the stones and took some home with him. To his surprise he ; found one would eut glass, and upon for Anty It's every, Little Mary--*"See my nice, new party frock, So cléan and fresh and bright.

"1 have been using Fels-Naptha soap for almost six months and con- sider it the only soap for dining room, kitchen and laundry. My silver and lass never looked so bright and beau- tiful as it does since using Fels-Naptha soap, and the clothes, table linen, etc., are whiter than ever before." Karnaning Hamman, Owing Milis, Md. Fels-Neptha Don't Injure the Clothes. "Om account of the illness of my washwoman, | had a chance to give PFels-Naptha soap a thorough test and to say that I am more than pleased. It don't injure the clothes in the least. It just makes the dirt let go and leaves them clean and white as snow. Several highly advertised and laborsaving soaps have come under my notice. but none seems to fill the bill like Fels-Naptha. My husband just asked me if | was trying to make a name for myself as a washwomah, | said no, but with Fels-Naptha soap 1 can be independent of a washwoman if 1 wish.» M=zs. G. N. Stroup, Louisville, Ky. Fels-Naptha Soap Did It. "There are so many worthless soaps | (especially of the laundry variety) on the market now that I feel it is a duty to you, and it certainly is a pleasure to hi tell how highly we appreciate Fels-Naptha. 1 have used the soap sige first introduced to us by one of yéur agents, nearly five years ago, and feel safe in saying that it is superior to any upon the market to-day.

Richmond & Gordon, Ltd.

The of the ways of peers, upon receiving the letter, conceived it to be from an- other firm. and addressed the reply to "Messrs. Richmond & Gordon, Good- wood House." The duke kept the let tar for a long time as a curiosity. Genius is said to be a certain form of madness, but the madness of most people is more or less uncertain.

I shot an arrow into the air, it fell in the distance, I knew not where, till a neighbor said it had killed hi: cali, and | had to pay him six and a hal (26.50) I bought some poison to slay some rats, and a neighbor swore that it killed his cats; and, rather than argue across the fence, I paid him four doBars and fifty cents (31.50). 'Ome night I was sailing a toy balloon and hoped it would soar till it reach- al the-moon; but the eandle fell out on a farmer's straw; and he said 1 must settle or go to law. And that is the way with the ran- dom shot: it never hits in the pro spot, and the joke you spring, that you think so smart, may leave a wound in some fallow's heart.
