In 1807 the first diamond ever found in South Africa was picked tip by a hunter out of a heap of shining river pebbles. This was near the banks of tho Orange river, a little above its con fluence with tho Vaal river. Then a diligent bearch for diamonds began in all tho surrounding districts. In 1870 diamonds were discovered in consider able quanitios near where tho town of Kimberloy now stands. A rush of miners soon filled the neighborhood, and from that timo onward Kimberloy has been the centre of tho diamond getting industry, though there aro other mines scattered hero and there to tho west and south of it.

A man came in to see Superintendent Lane the other day with a request to lmvo his son excused from manual train ing. "I am n butcher," said this sapient parent, "and my boy can do all the carving and cutting he needs in my ihop. I don't an ant hint to waste his time on it at school. "Of course," said Superintendent Lane, suavely he is hardened against surprise at the idiosyncrnsiesof parent "a butcher's shop well conducted otters excellent educational opportu nities. A boy is undoubtedly develop ing some good traits if he works con scientiously at sawing and cutting up monf, weighing it and making change. Put there are some advantages in our system of manual training not to be obtained in the Ix'st shop." "Well, I don't care about 'em," said the butcher. "James (3. Plaine was a good enough man for me, and I guess the edification he got '11 have to do for my boy. I don't care to have him beat .lames CI. Plaine." The superintendent tried to show him some of the advantages of manual training, how it developed all the mus cles of the body and counteracted the bad nervous effects of too much desk work with growing children, but the father interrupted him with: "And Abraham Lincoln, sirl My boy's no call to go higher than Abraham Lincoln. Abe hadn't any of your fancy manual training, but he did pretty well." "Excuse me!" said the superintend ent, "Mr. Lincoln had much manunl training in his boyhood, and of the best sort, the manual training of tho woods ami the farm. Its effect, upon his character was undoubtedly great." "My boy can pick up all he needs, too, I guess," said the other. "He don't need no regular training more'n Abe did." "Put the conditions of city life are so different from the conditions wliicli surrounded Mr. Lincoln's boyhood," objected the superintendent. "lie re wo linve to give artificially what these boys got naturally. Here the boys spend their leisure time playing the sharp, shrewd games of tho street, which nrc mentally demoralizing, and hae few safe outlets for their natural energy. Manual training isdoingwon ders for our boys. It is fitting them for other trades and occupations than those of the store and ofiiee and givng them a wholesome respect for labor " "My boy ain't goin' to be no carpen ter I tell you that now. He ain't goin' to have no trade. I look higher for him. lie's goin' to be a cashier or a bookkeeper, or a salesman, if he ain't nothin' better. My boy won't work with his hands if 1 can help It. And 1 want his mind eddicnted." "Put, my dear sir, manual training is one of the most powerful agencies foi decloping brain power. As the hands and muscles are used, the nerve centers in the brain which coutiol those mus cles grow, too, and the whole brain is invigorated " "My boy don't need no better brain "than Peed, of Maine. He's got enough brain power to suit me, and he never went to none of your new-fangled schools. I'd like that excuse." Crushed beneath this weight of learn ing and argument, the superintendent meekly made out the required papers and handed them over une.

"And you have remained there four years V" queried one of her listeners. "Well, you are an angel of patience," "So, we're not," was the reply. "We bine intended to move till of the time."

It has taken about 20 years to produces the wild eats of Goat island, the degen erative proeesa commencing soon after the lighthouse wiih established there in 187&. lt seems that the first keepers brought a number of eats with them, but with unrestrained liberty the ani mals gradually forsook the comforts of civilization. Goat island is the home of thousands of birds and squirrels, and to this is possibly due the temptation of the eats to forsake the keepers' ilreside. At. first the cats would absent them selves for days at a time, but the kittens were born at home. In time, however, they got over this, and lived altogether in the underbrush. After a few yeats the descendants of the first eats were so wild that they were afraid of human being's and made their dens in the crev ices of tjie rock. From that time the cats became wilder, until now they are as ferocious as the terrible creatures of the moun tains. They have increased in sl.e and changed altogether in disposition. They are always seen in pairs, and ap pear to mate, as all species of the eat tribe do in the wild state. The eats live on squ'rrels, quail and sparrows, as well as such other small animals and birds as they can catch. They are supplied witli water from a dozen springs in dif ferent parts of the island. In addition to other changes the wild eats have become hostile to such tamo cats as are brought to the island from time to time. They will attack them on sight and never stop until they have killed their victims. The chief destruction wrought by the wild cats is oi: the quail that inhabit tho island. The artful "drummers" used to be there in abundance, but are now pretty well thinned out. The cats tiro constantly on the alert, and not only kill every quail they can catch, but of ton destroy whole nests full of young1. To prevent this the light keepers are al ways on the outlook for wild cats and shoot every one that comes anywhtro near the house. As a consequence tho cats keep some distance rivvay. and the quail seem to know they are safe in that locality, for there are more nests thero than in any other part of the island. Many plans have been tried within the last few years to rid the island of the hungry, carnivorous pests, but tho more they are persecuted with shotgun, trap and poison the mote rapidly they seem to multiply.

You noed not answer tho question, mndani, for in your caso ngo is not counted by years. It will always be true that "a woman is as old as sho looks." Nothing sots tho seal of ago so deeply upon woman's beauty as gray hair. It is natural, thoroforo, that ovory woman is anxious to preserve her hair in all its original abundance and beauty; or, that being denied the crowning gift of boautiful hair, sho longs to possess it. Nothing is easier than to attain to this gift or to preserve it, if alroady possessed. Ayer's Hair Vigor restores gray or faded hair to its original color.
