SCRAMBLE FOR DIAMONDS.
e«ma Thrown Away by aa 4Mrnt>
Minded UMltr.
"Have you got any of those dia
monds?” Is the question of the hour
in Birmingham. Some 809 precious
stones have been sharedl out by luck;
prospectors in Vittoria street, and the
search still continues, says the London
Express. It happened in this wise:
In a fit of abstraction JJm Davis,
member of a firm of diamond mer
chants, while walking down Vittoria
street an a recent morning, pulled an
old envelope out of his pocket and
commenced to tear it up. When he
reached the last section the terrible
fact dawned upon him that it was the
envelope in which were some 1,600
small diamonds, valued at £100, and
that he had been sowing these broad
cast over a public thoroughfare. The
news spread with lightning-like rapid
ity. Shopkeepers locked up and came
to the more lucrative occupation of
picking up diamonds, while for a mile
around an errand boy at bis ordinary
work was a phenomenon. Such a
scraping of the street with knives and
sticks had never been seen. As it
happened, most of the lost stones went
down the cellar gratings of a jeweler's
shop. Ingenious youths Ashed for
them with a piece of soap attached to
a stick and reeled in three prizes at a
time. Others sat in the gutter sort
ing an anxiously guarded handful of
dirt. Still the crowd grew. At one
period over 1.500 lads wrere to be seen
hard at work. From noon to seven
o’clock the street was nearly blocked.
When night fell candles, lamps and
lanterns were brought to aid the Inde
fatigable hunters for treasure trove,
and the scene presented could only
have been done justice by Hogarth.
About half the diamonds have found
their way back to their rightful owner.
Some were sold to a shopkeeper and
the rest, like the graves of a house
hold, are scattered far and wide. Dia
mond pins will shortly be fashionable
in Birmingham.
PRAIRIE DOGS,
rtiey Iluvn Il.nl Their Day on ilie I’liiuf
of the Far Went.
Passengers on the "Q” system who
have ridden the better part of a day
through western Nebraska and east
ern Colorado will remember the prairie
dog. He is numerous in that section
of the country. He lives in villages
and the villages are as close together
ns the villages of certain parts of Eur
ope, says the Des Moines News. But
the prairie dog has had liis day. The
agricultural department says he must
go. Mr. Wilson has decided that the
dogs kill the grass and ruin good graz
ing land. "Tama Jim” has little of the
love of picturesqueness in his make
up. He is eminently practical and his
philanthropy is of the type which
seeks to make two blades of grass grow
instead of one. Therefore he proposes
to relegate the prairie dog to the pic
ture books and to the stuffed specimens
of the museum along with the buffalo.
Mr. Wilson's chemists have discovered
a mixture that will make whole vil
lages fight for the first bite, but which
at the last biteth like a serpent and
stingeth like an adder. Under its in
fluence the hole that knows the prairie
dog will know it no more forever. The
frisky, nervous, barking little beast
will join the innumerable caravan ol
prairie dogs who havo gone before
There will be more grass when the
prairie dog is gone, and therefore more
cattle. There will be less break
ing of the legs of cowboys’ ponies anil
the rattlesnake will live alone in the
hole until the summons come to him
also.
THE ANOA.
Dwarf Cattlo of Oleltes Are No Longt i
Than Ordinary Sheep.
Celebes has the distinction of being
the home of the smallest living repre
sentative of the wild cattle, or, In
deed, of the wild cattlo of any period
of the earth’s history, for no group
appears to be known to science. An
idea of three extremely diminutive pro
portions of the anoa, or sapi-utan, as
the animal in question is respectively
called by the Inhabitants of Celebes
and the Malays, may be gained when
it Is stated that its height at the shoul
der is only about 3 feet 3 inches,
whereas that of the great Indian wild
ox, or guar, is at least 6 feet 4 inches,
and may, according to some writers,
reach as much as 7 feet. In fact, the
anoa is really not much, if at all.
larger than a well-grown South Down
sheep and scarcely exceeds in this re
spect the little domesticated Bramini
cattle shown a few years ago at the
Indian exhibition held at Earl's Court
The anoa has many of the characters
of the large Indian buffalo, but its
horns are relatively shorter, less
curved and more upright. In this, as
well as in certain other respects, It
is more like the young than the adult
of the last-named species, and as
young animals frequently are gradual
ly lost as maturity is approached It
would be a natural supposition that
the anoa Is a primitive type of bt*ffu/*

GOVERNOR
Uses Feru-na
For Colds
OF OREGON
in His Family
and Grip.
CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEM, OREGON.
A Letter from the Executive Office of Oregon.
Tb« Governor of Oregon is an ar
Jent admirer of Fe-ru-na. He keeps
It continually in the house. In a re
cent letter to Dr. Hartman he says:
State or Oregon,
Executive Department,
Salem, May 9, 1898.
The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus,
Ohio:
Dear Sirs:—I have had occasion to
use your Fe-ru-na medicine in my
family for colds, and it proved to be
an excellent remedy. 1 have not had
occasion to use it for othpr ailments.
Yours very truly, W. M. Lord.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Fe-ru-na is the only ab
solute safeguard known. A cold is
the beginning of catarrh. To prevent
colds, to cure cold3, is to cheat ca
tarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not
only cures catarrh, but prevents.
Every household should be supplied
with this great remedy for coughs,
colds and so forth.
It will be noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use
Pe-ru-na for other ailments. The rea
son for this is, most other ailments
begin with a cold. Using Pe-ru-na to
promptly cure colds, he protects his
family against other ailments. This
Is exactly what every other family in
the United States should do. Keep
Pe-ru-na in the house. Use it for
coughs, colds, la grippe, and other
climatic affections of winter, and there
will be no other ailments in the house.
Such families should provide them
selves with a copy of Dr. Hartman's
free book, entitled “Winter Catarrh.”
