Two men were talking by the sea
Of what had been, arid what might be;
And as the first bis hopes made known
The tide upon the bar made moan.
"The boon I ask of Fate is fame
Aworld-known and an honored name.
I ask not love. Let that pass by
If fame be mine that cannot die.
Those in the valley seek for love; .

"I ask not fame," the other sild ;
"What matters praise when I am deadl"
Be mine the boon of love and home,
From which my feet may never roam;
The lowliest path will pleasant be
. If Love be there to walk with me."
Ah Istrange indeed the ways of Fate;
The tangled threads will not come straight
Love came to him who asked for fame
The world has never heard his name;
With wife and children by his side,
His neighbors think him satisfied;
But by his hearth he often hears
The great world's praises in his cars,
And wonders vaguely which were best;
The hill's wide view or the valley's reit
To him who asked for love and home
Came late, and ever he must roam;
Through all theayorld his fame isknown ;
But he goes on unloved, alone.
Men envy him. They cannot know
The human heart that hungers so
For love and home. Below he sees,
With longing eyes, the valley's peace j
But up the hill ho climbs alone
He asked for bread, and found a stone.
Oh I sorely tangled skein of Fate.
Some time, God grant the threads come

In a recent conversation with a
"Tribuna" reporter the agent of the
Morse diamond cutting company, re
lated a uuuiber of interesting facts re
specting the diamond products in vari
ous parts of the world. His opinion
of the tnanufacturo of diamonds was
given, ond is the fame as that of
JSSi2Jal;eikrSV4MJe":-
Wheh'thoreport was made public,1
ho said, "that diamonds could bo man
ufactured in tliojaboratory, people be
came timid about investing large sums
of moupy in valuable brilliants. Dur
ing the last holiday season, in conse
quence a great many cheap diamonds
were sold. But the depression was
only temporary, in fact, valuable stones,
but in the rough and in the foi m of
biil!iant, are appreciating in value all
the time. It is not thought possible
by diamonds to produce diamonds of
any practical value. As yet, it is only
claimn.l that crystals of a. very minute
sizo not larger than a graiu of sand
have been produced, by chemjcal pro
cesses. Should the chemist succeed in
making diamonds of a size sufficiently
large to cut, it would cost as much to
bring them into the requisito shape as
it does the stones found in nature. As
long as small crystals only are produced
the discovery amounts to nothing.
There are natural diamonds, such as
are used in tho mechanical arts by lar
idaries and jewelers, that sell as low as
a dollar a piece."
"Where are the diamonds mainly
produced that are sold in New York?'
"The principal diamond fields of the
world are in South Africa and in Bra
zil. Owing to the gteat production in
the Kimberly mine3 in South Africa
and the consequent reduction in price,
the Brazil mines aro not worked os
much as formerly. A few stones arc
found in India, some small ones in
China, and occasionally one has been
found in California. Jt is claimed tiati
?one or twojiavrrrjcen touuu-m raclianiFp
and one or two in Georgia. But those
that have been sent from Georgia have
turned out to bo cither beryl or com
mon crystal. Tho peculiarity of the
great Kimberly mines which are now
360 feet below the surface and covor a
large area is that tho diamonds are
found imbedded in steatite or soap-
stone, lhose found in tho Badia dis
trict in Brazil which is about 400
miles below Rio Janeiro are usually
imbedded in a conglomerate composed
of small pebbles.
"The diamonds which are not fit to
cut for gems aro used for mechanical
purposes. Thoo most used are what
are called carbons from tho Badia dis
trict. They aro irregular in shape and
of a dark brown color, about the size
of a hazel-nut. When broken there
is a gray fracture. They were discov.
ered many years befote they were
known to have any value. Sinco the
discoirry that they wore diamonds by
an Amsterdam diamond cutter thev
have risen in price to 28 a carat and
more. They are used in Luri tntr mill
stones and In diamond drills. Another
vaiiety, known as Brazilian boart, i
too poor to cut, and is used for drilling.
They are of different colors, and vary
in size from a pin head to a pea.
These little wuito ones, too small for
gems, havo good x-uttiug angles, nnd
are used by lithographeis und book
note engravers iu preparing plates.
The labor connected with cutting and
polhhing a diamond adds greatly to its
cost. Some aro very difficult to shape
and polish. A particular seven-catet
diamond took seven months' labor
more or less work every day to get it
cut and polished ready for tho jew eler,
and sold at loss of SI, 000. Such
diamonds are not rystalized in regular
planes, and may be compared to a
knotty piece of wood. As a rule,
however, diamonds ha-e regular cleav
age planes. The cutter just makes a
line on the face of the stone where he
wishes to cut with the point or angle
of another diamond. Then ho uses a
short instrument of steel and a mallet
to effect the cleavage."
"Is every stone cut into the same
general form?"
, "Ihcy all have the same number ot
facets fifty-six but maybe round at
the girdle (circumference) or oblong,
according to the original shape of the
stone. They ore -cut, as a rule, with
ait little waste as possible."
"To what Extent does color affect
the value of brilliants 1"
"Tho white aip the most brilliant,
and consequently the most valuable.
Tinted stoiies are less valuable, but a
diamond of positive pink or a green
color commands a high price." New
York Tribune.

An American engineer, who being1,
engagd in the construction of a rail
way in China, lias had unusually fa
vorable oppoitunities for examiuing
the Great Wall to obstruct tha incur
sions of the Tartan, gives the following
account of this wonderful wotb: The
wall is 1,728 miles long, eighteen -feet
thick at' tho top. - Tha . foundation
throughout is of olut graniteUhelreJr
ftr J InULvdL LlkCaW 1
mainder of compact masonry. At' in
tervals of between 200 and 300 vards,
towers riso up, twenty-fivo to thirty
feet high and twen'y-four feetindianj
eter. On the top of the v alls and on
both sides f it uro masonry parapets
to enable the defenders to pass unseen,
from-one tower to another. The wall
itself is carried from point to point in
a perfectly straight line, across valleys
and plains and over hills, without the
slightest regard to the configuration of
the ground, sometimes plunging down
into ubyssea a thousand feet deep,
B.-ooks and smaller rivets aro bridged
over by the wall, whilo on both batiks
of larger streams stiong flanking tower?
are placed.
The Use of toe Riom Hand. J
The superior use of the right hand in
the affairs of life is the heritage of ages,
Therb are many operations that re
quire the use of but one hand; and it
seems but natural that in the piocesa
of time that one should have taken the
lead in their performance, and the ten
dency has been transmitted. Children
generally show a disposition to use tho
right hand more than the left. Wo
agree with you that we nhould bo sble
to use both hands w ith equal facility.
Some men do appear to be ambidex
terous. There aro anatomists who
claim that tho left hemisphere of the
brain has a controlling influence in men
tal life, and for that reason the right
ot the body is more exercised than
