The Mere Question of Pigment Has Settled Many a Man’s Fate. Did you ever notice that men always instinctively put confidence in a girl with ‘blue éyes, and have their suspicions of the girl with brilliant black ones, and will you kindly tell me why? asks a writer in the Ladies’ Home Journal. Is it that the limpid blue eye, transparent and gentle, suggests all the soft, womahly virtues, and because he thinks he can see through it, clear down into that blue-eyed girl’s soul, that, she is the kind ofa girl he fancies she is? I think it is, but some of the greatest little frauds I know ‘are the purry, kitteny girls with the big innocent blue eyes. Blazing black eyes, and the !rich, avarm colors; which darkskinned women have to wear suggest energy and brilliance and no end of inteHect.” Men look into-such eyes and seem mot 1o be able to see below the surface. They have not the pleasure of a long, deep gaze into immeasurable depths. And so’ they think her designthe mark!), even intellectual, when, perhaps, she has a wealth of love and devotion and heroisni stored up behind that impulsive disposition and those and dare more in a minute for some man she had set that great heart of hers upon, than: your cold-blooded, tranquil blond would do in 40 years. A mere, quéstion of pigment in the eye has setout) to be very different from the girl he ‘fondly thought he was getting. BRAZIL'S BLACK DIAMONDS. — More Sent to South Africa Tham Any Other Place. Although the greatest diamond mines in the world are in South Africa, Brazil exports’ more diamonds to that. part than anywhere else on earth, says a London paper. The explanation is easy. They are black diamonds, and not of the kind used for jewelry. The place cf their greatest utility is underground in-mines. South Africa does not. produce them, but it could not well get ‘Black diamond is the hardest substance known. Its utility has only been provements are ‘constantly being mad* split by machinery in a way that wa: unknown until recently. ‘The. split must follow the grain. If it.does not the stone will be. wasted. ‘ Each stone is split.into cubes of differemt sizes. The cubes ate then welded into mining drills if they are to be used for boring The steel is cast about the diamond so that. it eannot get loose. In the same way nearly all diamond éaws are made, fivery tooth is a: black-diamond cube. [t is.fastened on when the steel portion of the instrument is in .a molten state.The attempt to make these stones artificially has proven a faifure in every instance. The cost is greater than the market price of the. Brazilian: diamond, » ‘ . ; Black diamonds weigh ordinarily less than 100 carats, ranging all the way’ déwn to half a carat. The largest, in a . cxistence was found only a short time ago, its weight being 320 carats. The ‘diamond: was sold to'a museum for £8,000. 4 > aa ge ees rare mR ueicueses, co : Red Man’s Medicine.

At least seven feet of earth were shoyeled on top of the coffin, and for the period of six days it wae not. disturbed, : On the seventh day the casket was dug up in the présence ofa erowd, The man when awakened was apparently none the worse for his experience. The London Lancet, which prints the account of the distressing. apectacle, comments on it, saying: : “It. is difficult to imagine a more revolting experiment than this. Even granting that these trances have any use whatever—which we ourselves fail to admit—there can be'no possible excuse for making them ‘more ‘horrible than they already are by burying the man. “Any experiment, it. was desired to perform could have been done equally well by sealing the man up in the box without going through ‘the details of burying him and digging him tipagain. Moreover, under such circumstances, it is impossible to give him aid quickly should he need it, and, although accidents may be rare in hypnotism, their possibility is by no means to be neg-, lected,” INSULT TO INJURY.

If you could know the pain it causes me to—" “The. pain it causes you!” he echoed. “What do you know of pain, Miss MeGinnis? Listen! Asleep or awake, for five long weeks your image has been constantly before me. You have occupied all my thoughts, filled my heart, and destroyed my appetite! “I have ceased to take interest in the ordinary affairs of life. Devotion like mine would excites only your pity. And you tell me that ‘it can never be!’ Friends!” he exclaimed with increasing bitterness. “Friends! Will friendship restore to his normal condition a wretched being . whose flesh has wasted away till even . his washerwoman doesn't know him?" “I am sorry Mr. Spoonamore,” re. sponded the young. woman, gently, her ‘fingers straying in a mechanical way (over the piano, “but it is all Tecan offer byou.
