The Worship of Diamonds.
A McGill professor, lecturing on the
diamond the other night, demonstrat
ed dramatically the well-known fact
that a diamond is merely crystalized
carbon, by burning a couple of small
stones in an electric arc. Flakes of
graphite fell from the sides, and the
whole became a mass of coke. Yet
what has not been bought and sold
for diamonds? It requires an expert
to tell the difference between some of
the imitations and the real stones.
Paste diamonds are worn to great as
semblies by great ladies while their
genuine jewels repose safely in the
vaults at home. Still, says the Mon
treal Herald, this does not induce oth
er ladies, who cannot afford the gen
uine, to be quite as content with
the paste. If some one were to dis
cover a “mine” of diamonds and flood
the world with them—if a scientist
should learn how to make them—if,
tt is said, the present diamond miners
were to put on the market all they
could—the value would go down. In
the two former cases it would well
nigh disappear. Yet to-day people
will coin the toil of many men for
long years into diamonds and wear
them as symbols of wealth. This is
a curious*world in some ways. Yet,
•perhaps, not so curious. We gen
erally want chiefly to have what oth
er people cannot have.
Japan’s Knowledge of the World.
The fact is, we suspect, that the
Japanese understand the rest of the
Aorld better than the world under
stands them, for the reason that since
the “opening” of that country it has
been a very serious part of Japan
ese public and private business to
study the rest of the world and to
learn as much as possible about it.
Japanese students have been numer
ous in almost every civilized land, ac
quiring not only the general arts and
sciences but also and particularly the
especial knowledge which was to be
gained of the individual countries thus
visited. This knowledge, says the
New York Tribute, has in turn been
imparted to and has been eagerly
sought by the entire Japanese people.
While the world at large has inter
ested itself in Japan largely because
of its picturesque charm, t'ne Japan
ese have interested themselves in all
the world in the most practical, sys
tematic and businesslike way. While
we have looked at jinrikishas and
cherry blossoms they have studied
constitutions and industries.
Paint and Ocean Travel.
“The worst feature of ocean travel
is never mentioned in steamship com
pany prospectuses or in hooks of
travel,” said a returning tourist. “It
is not seasickness, for only a few are
taken that way in the new ocean
greyhounds, that neither rock nor
pitch. It is not the narrow quar
ters or the inferior cooking or the
tipping habit. It is paint. There is
always wet paint on an ocean steam
er, and there is never a sign on it
to warn passengers. The modern sail
or is a painter, constantly wielding
the brush, always painting some par*
of the ship or other, says the Phila
delphia Record. There is hardly ?
passenger on the ocean that does not
land from a voyage with some article
of apparel damaged by paint. A sail
or told me once that every ship is
«ntirely repainted inside and out at
least three times a year. The worl
goes on constantly in port and ob
the sea, and the passenger can never
escape.”
Exposing the Fast Set.
'fte fast woman In society in
France compromises herself because
she falls under the spell of passion:
the fast woman in society in New
York, on the other hand, compro
mises herself to pay for her bonnett
and gowns. In this comparison the
French fast woman has much the ad
vantage of the American fast wom
an. They are both essentially vul
gar, declares the Outlook, judged
from the strictly social point of view.
The men and women of the fast set
always force the note. They overeat
overdrink, overdress and overact their
parts. They are to people in really
civilized society what sensational jour
nalism is to high-class newspaper
■work. They represent the “yellow"
jn morals, dress, manners and style
of life. It is a mistake to treat them
.too seriously. Irony, ridicule and
sarcasm are the only weapons that
touch them.
The United States senator from Ne

An autograph letter of Abraham
Lincoln, writter more than half a cen
tury ago to his life-long friend,
Thomas J. Turner, of Freeport, 111.,
ifterward a colonel in an Illinois regi
ment, is here reproduced as an object
of national interest.
The value of this letter to the fam
lies to whom it has descended—like an
ipostolic succession—may be estimat
ed from the fact that it has passed
'rom deathbed to deathbed as a sacred
charge in the Turner generations, the
man to whom it was written treasur
ing the series of Lincoln’s correspond
ence in order to bequeath to members
of his family souvenirs whose value he
foresaw with prophetic eye.
Any letter of Abraham Lincoln’s
would be of interest to the people ol
Illinois, especially one written before
the period of war and turmoil, when
the Springfield lawyer was engaged
in the vocations of peace. The owner
of the letter—a Freeport man—is now
living in Chicago.
Famous Illinois Tavern.
Where Lincoln, When a Circuit Rid
ing Lawyer, Swapped Stories.
With the demolition of the old Kel
ley tavern, torn down to make room
for a barn, there passed one of the
famous old liostelries of Illinois. Built
in 1839, the old tavern became the
stopping place of all west bound trav
elers, it being the only hotel between
Danville and Urbana on the state
.road.
For years it enjoyed great popular- .
ity, especially during its ownership by
Joseph Kelley, who operated it from
1840 until 1864. Daring the ’50s it
was the regular stopping place of the
old time circuit riding lawyers, among
whom were Abraham Lincoln and
Judge David Davis. Both Lincoln
and Davis were warm friends of Kel
ley, whose ready wit and great fund
of stories made him a favorite with
both men.
Often Lincoln's coming, being her
alded about the surrounding country,
drew scores of farmers to the hotel,
and not infrequently residents of Ur
bana drove down to enjoy the contest
between the two great story tellers.
However well equipped with new’ ma
terial was Mr. Kelley he always found
himself vanquished by Mr. Lincoln,
whose fund of anecdotes seemed in
exhaustible. Old residents say that
the two champions frequently told
stories almost all night, Lincoln sit
ting in an immense armchair, with
wide rockers and a buffalo robe cush
ion, known to the household as “Abe’s
chair.” The old chair is still in the
possession of the Kelley family, one
of its most cherished heirlooms.
The old tavern played an important
part in the social life of the commun
ity. Here during the winter months
assembled all the joung people for
miles around to dance and enjoy
themselves. In the yard were held
the turkey shoots on Thanksgiving
and Christmas, when the pioneers as
sembled to prove their wonderful
skill with their old muzzle loading
firearms. Whisky on these occasions
flowed freely, and some famous fights
have occurred about the old building,
but for the most parr the early settler
was good natured, even in his cups,
and no serious damage -was done in
these encounters.

As Wallace Saw Lincoln.
Famous Author Wrote Entertainingly
of First Meeting.
The charm of Lew Wallace’s Auto
biography consists not only in the
fact that the author was a famous
general and famous novelist, but that
so many of his recollections are rem
iniscent of the great.
One of the most fascinating des
criptions is that of his first sight of
Abraham Lincoln. It was in 1850, at
a tavern in Danville, 111.
Wallace writes as follows:
“There was one of the contestants
who arrested my attention early, i<art
ly by his stories partly by his ap
pearance.
“His hair was thick, coarse and de
fiant: it stood out in every direction.
His features were massive, nose long,
eyebrows protrusive, mouth large,
cheeks hollow, eyes gray and always
responsive to the humor. He smiled
all the time, but never once did he
laugh outright. His hands were large,
his arms slender and disproportion
ately long. His legs were a wonder,
particularly when he was in narra
tion; he kept crossing and uncrossing
them, sometimes it actually seemed
he was trying to tie them into a bow
knot.
“Altogether, I thought him the
gauntest, quaintest and most positive
ly ugly man who had ever attracted
me enough to call for study. Still
when he was in speech, my eyes did
not quit his face. He held me in un
consciousness.
“About midnight his competitors
were disposed to give in; either theii
stories were exhausted, or they were
tacitly conceding him the crown.
From answering them story for story,
he gave two or three to their one. At
last he took the floor and held it
And, looking back, I am now con
vinced that he frequently invented his
replications; which is saying he pos
sessed a marvelous gift of improvisa
tion.
“Such was Abraham Lincoln. And
to be perfectly oandid, had one stood
at my elbow that night in the old
tavern and whispered: ‘Look at him
closely. He will one day be president
and the savior of his country,’ I tad
laughed at the idea but a little Ihss
heartily than I laughed at the man.
“Afterward I came to know him
better, and then I did not laugh.”
MODEL OF LINCOLN'S CNLY PATENT
One of the most valuable of the gov
ernment’s unique collection of patent
models, the finest in the world, is No. ]
6,469, granted May 22, 1S49 to Abra- ;
ham Lincoln for method of lifting ves- J
sels over shoals. The device consists
of the application to a river steamer,;
of two or more collapsible floats made j
like bellows, worked from sides ol
boat by upright poles. When a vessel
so equipped strikes shoal water the
bellows are inflated by pressure on
the poles, which is supposed to raise
the boat clear of the bottom. When
the bellows are to be deflated a wind
lass raises the poles.—N. Y. World.
Lincoln Eminently Fair.
Gen. Taylor was triumphantly elect
ed, and it became Lincoln’s duty, as
whig member oi' congress from Illi
nois, to recommend certain persons to
fill government offices in that state,
says Helen Nicclay in St. Nicholas.
He did this after he returned to
Springfield, for his term in congress
j ended on March 4, 1849, the day that
Gen. Taylor became president. The
letters that he sent to Washington
when forwarding the papers and appli
cations of people who wished appoint
ment were both characteristic and
amusing; for in his desire not to mis
lead or to do injustice to any man,
they were very apt. to say more in
favor of the men he did not wish to
see appointed than in recommenda
tion of his own particular candidates.
This absolute and impartial fairness
to friend and foe alike was one of his
strongest traits, governing every ac
tion of his life. If it had (not been for
this, he might possibly iave enjoyed
another term in congress, for there
aiiuiiiyiayihi
am very grateful to our friends for [
having done it, has not pleased me as
much as I expected,” this must have
been flattering. But there were many
able young men in Springfield who
i coveted the honor, and they had en
tered into an agreement among them
selves that each ' would be content
with a single term. Lincoln, of course,
remained faithful to this promise. His
strict keeping of promises caused him
also to lose an appointment from Pres
I ident Taylor as commissioner of the
i general land office, which might easily
have been his, but for which he had
! agreed to recommend some other Illi
nois man. A few weeks later the
president offered to make him gov
ernor of the new territory of Oregon.
This attracted him much more than
the other office had done, but he de
clined because his wife was unwilling
to live in a place so far away.
His career in congress proved of
great advantage to him in after life,
having given him a close knowledge
of the workings of the federal govern
HOME-TRADE CLUBS
They Should Be Organized
and Active in Every
Community.
PATRONIZE HOME MERCHANTS
The Great Danger to Local Interests
That Are Found in the Mail
Order Systems—Educate
the Public.
(Copyrighted, 1906, by Alfred C. Clark)
Why should we trade at home?
Why should we consider home in any
way more than any other place unless
it pays us financially? First, because
it is our home. The pride we should
take in the prosperity of our home
town and our neighbors should be suf
ficient inducement to give them the
preference. Second, because beyond
all doubt or question, it pays from a
money point.
The greatest menace to the country
merchant to-day is the mail order
business, and with the decline of the
country merchant comes inevitable
loss to the citizens of both town and
country. What at first was considered
a great convenience and an exhibition
of commendable enterprise has grown
to be one of the crying commercial
evils. The success of the mail order
house is the result of constant, ex
tensive and intelligent advertising. It
is not by persistent swindling as some
tell us, for no business was ever built
up in that way. The home merchant
can do no better than to adopt the
same method, the judicious use of
printer’s ink.
While the merchants are the heav
iest immediate losers, and could do
they cannot consistently ask others to.
trade with them when they do not
patronize their brothers in trade. The
editors should patronize home, and
even at considerable personal sacrifice
refuse foreign advertising for lines of
goods in competition with the home
merchant. The editor deserves more
credit than he receives. Many a well
to-do farmer or city man would think
himself perfectly justified in sending
away for all his groceries and cloth
ing if he thought he could save ten
dollars thereby on a year’s purchases,
but most editors forfeit many times
that much every year by refusing ad
vertising from distant firms in the
same lines of business as his home
merchants; and sometimes the home
merchant even then declines to ad
vertise.
Trade-at-home clubs might be or
ganized, with mottos something like
Club,” or “I Patronize the Home Mer
chants,” or “I Buy Nothing from Mail
Order Houses,” for members to dis
play. The acceptance and displaying
of such a card might constitute a per
so nor member.
Much of the trading away from
home is due to thoughtlessness and
ignorance of business principles.
Many persons consider only the first
cost; if they save 25 cents on a ten
dollar order by buying from a mail
order house they consider that clear
gain. They should be shown that a
merchant and his family living in
their midst, keeps up ‘a house, pays
taxes, adds to the social features, con
tributes generously towards public en
terprises, etc. If by buying at home
their town gives support to several
more local merchants, creating a bet
! ter home market, they get back a lib
J eral percentage. Every man and worn
i an takes more or less pride in local
affairs and is willing to contribute
something toward home improve
ments, if the matter is fairly prc

1H0U5E/
Are you operating the tread mill to pour the wealth of your community
into the bottomless hoppers of the mail-order house? Are you driving your
local merchants out of business? If you are you are killing your town and
your own interests.
much toward checking and correcting
this growing evil, by liberal advertis
ing and publishing prices, they should
uot be expected to do it all. Every
newspaper should preach home trade,
every teacher should instil it into his
pupils in the school room, every min
ister should preach it from the pul
pit. The debating societies and po
litical conventions should discuss it.
The interests of town and country
find newspaper and church, and so
ciety generally, are so interwoven and
so identical that whatever injures one
will eventually injure all. When the
merchants are compelled to bring on
smaller stocks, and employ less help,
and pay cheaper rent, they are not
alone the sufferers; the whole com
munity feels the loss. The price of
real estate is largely dependent on its
proximity to a good towm. Rents are
dependent on the amount of business.
The merchant can move to some other
town and establish himself again more
readily than can the professional man
and many others who have built up
business through years of acquaint
anceship and establishment of char
acter. If the farmer, or property own
er in town, want to sell out they are
the greatest sufferers—they can't
move their property to some place
where people are booming their town
and country by patronizing home.
The remedy lies in education and
publicity. In many places that edu
cation will come through bitter ex
perience, but, in other communities,
where they are quicker to detect the
approaching evil, and heed more read
ily the warnings of the press and
friends of home, they may correct the
evil more readily.
Wealth and power are corrupting
influences and the mail order houses
are probably not sending out as hon
est goods as they once did. They have
learned the tricks of imitation and
substitution and how easy it is to
deceive the public. But, if the mail
order man is honest, and his methods
of advertising legitimate in every way,
his success is of no interest to us
and will never benefit our community
in the slightest degree. If crops should
fail or sickness render us short of
money we could not expect him to
trust us for a dollar—we must always
look to the home merchant for credit
in times of adversity.
Who is to blame? The mail order
house? Not in the least. We alone
are to blame. The near«ighted mer
chant who has lost trade by not ac
quainting the community with what
he has to sell and with the fact
that people could obtain at home,
where they could personally examine
them and return them if defective in
any way, goods at as low a price as
any catalogue house can sell them,
every man and woman is to blame
who sends away for goods; and every
one who fails to raise his voice in
favor of home trade. The editor holds
the most responsible position and
should be the leader in this move
ment.

sented. That is why I say the rem
edy lies in education.
Most mail order houses claim they
are enabled to sell cheaper than coun
try dealers because they buy in larger
quantities and get especially low
prices. This is often a base mis
statement of facts; let me cite an in
stance; A stock man from eastern
Washington was visiting in Kansas
City. One morning, walking with his
nephew, who was a clerk in a lead
ing wholesale hardware house, he
asked where Bland & Co.’s store was
located. “Don't think I ever heard of
them,” replied the young man. “O,
yes, I do remember the firm; they
have no store, they have an office in
(giving the name of the building),
but I don’t see how they can sell hard
ware as low as your home merchants,
for while we sell them goods at less
than retail price, we don’t give them
as low prices as regular dealers, be
cause they buy in such small quanti
ties, just as they get orders.” The
stockman was greatly surprised, he
supposed he had been dealing with
one of the largest firms in the city.
The mail order business has devel
oped so slowly, and works so quietly
that few persons realize the magni
tude it has assumed nor to what ex
tent it is now sapping the life-blood of
many small cities and towns. Even
now we hear the excuse given for
sending away for goods, that the mer
chants carry such poor stocks. The
wonder is that they carry any.
It is a fact that country merchants
sell the same class of goods cheaper
than the big city merchants, and there
are good reasons for it—difference in
rents, insurance, clerk hire, etc. The
same is equally true as to the mail
order house—it may save in rent and
in several ways over the big mer
chants, but it pays more for advertis
ing, packing and shipping, so that
for the same quality of goods, the
home merchant can, and generally
does, undersell the catalogue house.
The latter makes selling goods a study
and his advertising is carefully word
ed and weighed. He uses a few stand
ard articles for bait, by selling them
at cost, but he adds enough to the
price of other articles, with which the
public is not familiar, to make up the
loss. Perhaps the country merchant
could not duplicate the price on these!

“The students erased one letter in
this notice, making it read:
“ ‘Dr. Dash, through indisposition, is
unable to attend to his lasses to-day.’ i
“But it happened a few minutes later
that the professor returned for a box

with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began to

Every Sufferer.
Nobody who has not endured the
suffering caused by nervous head
ache can realize th* awful agony of
its victims. Worst of all, the ordin
ary treatment cannot be relied upor
to cure nor even to give relief. Some
doctors will say that if a person is
subject to these headaches there is
nothing that can be done to prevent
their recurrence.
Nervous headaches, as well as neu
ralgia, are caused by lack of nutrition
—the nerves are starved. The only
way to feed the nerves is through the
blood and it is in this way that Dr
Williams’ Pink Pills have accom
plished so many remarkable cures.
Mrs. Addie Merrill, of 39 Union
Street, Auburn, Me., says: “For
years I suffered from nervous head
aches, which would come on me every
five or six weeks and continue for
several Jays. The pain was so severe
that I would be obliged to go to bed
for three or four days each time. It
was particularly intense over my right
eye. I tried medicines but got no re
lief. I had no appetite and when
the headache passed away I felt as if
I had been sick for a month. My
blood was thin and I was pale, weak
and reduced in weight.
“I read about Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills in a paper and decided to try
them. I first noticed that they be
gan to give me an appetite and I
commenced to gain in weight and
color. My headaches stopped and
have not returned and I have never
felt so well as I do now.”
