Enormous Fortune Gathered by One Man in the Klmberley District. B. 1. Barnato is the king of Africa's diamond fields, and is said to bo the wealthiest diamond miner in the world. The story of his career reads like a pag-e from the "Arabian Nights." Barnato went to Cape Town in 1873, comparatively a poor man. Three years later he bought the first claim iri what is now the flourishing town of Kimborley, the center of the diamond mining industry in Africa. The price he paid for it was inconsiderable. In lt81 he owned four claims, which he floated into a company for about 8100,000 a claim. He was now on a sound financial basis. In 1884 he bought another tract of land, paying the highest price ever given in Kim- berley. But he made from that spec- ulati n alone *l(H\00J. With the mon­ ey now at his command, he be an op­ eration* in diamond mining stocks. His system was to amalgamate dif­ ferent mines and theteby centralize capital. At the present time he rep­ resents ope-half of the diamond ex­ ports of the Kimberley mines. One can estimate from Mr. Bavnato's holdings what his income must be. Diamonds weighing 38.000,0'Xi carats, or seven and a half tons, have been found at Kimber­ ley since he purchased his first claim. In the rough, their aggregate vahre is $260,000,000. v Vermont's First Maple Sugar.

It is not known how many trees were tapped fr >m wiiieh the sap was Obtained, nor iust where the sugar bush'was located.

The season was favorable for a free' run of sap, the nights bein<? frosty ahd the days still and sunny. A small< quantity only of sugar was made - thirty or forty pounds --though a liquor cask of good svrup was obtained. The evaporation of the sap was performed in small domestic iron kettles, purchased in Albany a few weeks previously." 11 The precise method of tapping the trees is not known, thtonsfh in some cases in pre-Revolutionary times the ax, gouge and howel were used.

In the great cat-pet mills of Fhiladel* phia, where, it is claimed, more carpet is made in a single ward than is the whole of England, the actual competi­ tion of women with men is a marked feature: in many cases they earn equal pay for the same work. In these mills the burlers earn from $> to flj a week. They wo -k from . in the morning till i at night, with half an hour off for din­ ner. These who do not live at home can get good boaixl for $3 a week, leav­ ing quite a wide margin for dress or fcr savings. It would be of great ben­ efit to them if they could acquire the habit of systematic saving, but.to It's they are generally averse. Some of them do save, however, and it is no un­ common thing for a mill-girl to save 8S3C0 or $40) before marriage.

He may enter a battle with tbe greatest enthusiasm and valor, but before much lighting has taken place be running like the worst coward. Courage is something that cannot be counted upon. It will fail you sometimes when you need it most. I witnessed an incident (lur­ ing the war which well illustrated this. There was a Captain leading his company up a steep hill. Tbe rebels were known to be coming up the other side, aud it was an im­ portant matter to get to the top first. The Captain was a brave fellow and did all in his power to urge his men forward, giving them encouraging words. The position was a serious one* tbe men not knowing what mo­ ment they would receive a volley from the rebels from the top of the hill. They kept well together under the encouragement of their gallant Captain, who, with sword in hani, was leading them nobly on. As they came near the brow of the hill a wavering could be seen in the ranks, and the Capta n realizing that a re­ treat would be disastrous, took sterner methods. He cried out in a loud voice, 'the drst mau that turns his back 1'il sho t down in his tracks.' With this threat he wa? en­ abled to reach the top of the hill, where he found the rebels also just arriving. Firing commenced, and al­ most the first shot left its trail in the hajr of the gallaqt commander, parting it in the middle. It did not injure him in the least, but it killed his valor. This brave fellow who had led bis company on that perilous as­ cent suddenly became one of the worst of cowards. He threw down his sword %nd ran to the rear as fast as his feet would take him. Just when he needed his courage most he found it wanting. Ho one would sav that the man was anything but, brave, for his former war record and his conduct in subsequent battles demonstrated that he was a hero, i But anyone who had seeu him run­ ning to the rear th^t day would have put him down for the veriest cow-1 aidr"--Pittsburgh Dispatch. or less cilt cal but always effectiv selection which t ndel ever to de­ velop a higher grade of intelligence Wilh the advanve in the organiza­ tion of society, tbe dog is ever losing something of his utility, even in the way of sport.

Much of the time was spent discussing the Senate amendment to tbe agricultural bill appropriating $1,000.- 000 for tbe destruction of the Russian thistle in the Northwestern States. Tne House instructed the conferrees to fur­ ther insist on its disagreement to this amendment. Representative Boen, of Min­ nesota, has Introduced a bill to abolish national hanks.
