HASlblAMOND MINE Only On* on Western Hemisphere Is Located in Arkansas. - -- n?mi Are Found In the Orator of an Extinct Vdoano la Files County < ?Flrot Found In IMS. W ,? . -if ' I Murphreeaboro, Ark.?The only dla moud mlno thus tor discovered on the westers hemisphere U located In Pike county, Arkansas, in which this ham let la situated. The mine Is two and a half miles south of hare. The diamonds are found In n "pipe." the crater of an extinct volca no which ayes ago boiled np through the aurfhce, had Its terrific heat chilled by the water of an Inland sea, and left bite of carbon scattered through ' eat the peridotlte which now tils k cratar, to ho preahed Into diamonds'by the contraction of the rock. The pert Oolite forms the original matrix of the diamond, and thua far the ooly dia monds found In the western hemis phere in their matrices are those of Pike coupty. Diamonds have been found In some twenty-five states, in Canada and South America, bat always la river have been washed by the waters, or la places where It la presumed they have been deposited by glacial action. Tha first Arkansas diamond was found in 1806 by John Huddles ton, then owner of the farm an which tha aixty-acre "pipe" la located, by acci dent. Haddlestoa observed outcrop ping* of the gray-green rock, since classed as peridotlte, and came to the conclaaten that his hillsides contained valuable mineral, perhaps copper. Af ter pecking around without finding anything which looked to him like mineral, he picked up a crystal, and then one day, showed it to some friends In Khrphreesboro. A Little Bock Jeweler pronounced it a diamond, and made ears by verifications by Jewel experts In New York. The mining operations In Arkansas ' for several years, at least, will be far different from those of the Sooth African fields, although the formations are the puna. ? In Africa deep shafts are suhk, the peridotlte Is brought to the surface, gnd spread en drying floors far periods ranging from s|x to eighteen months. The rock has the peculiar quality of dUtategratlag when exposed to the air. ' la Arkansas, however, except for a few places, the peridotlte already has disintegrated to a depth of about twenty feet, and mtxed with vegetable matter, formed a sticky day. called "gumbo" locally. This overburden of "gumbo" will be worked before Mast ing operations are started. SHE TOOK THE QUEEN'S MEAT Culinary Expert Tell* Haw Victoria , Of Great Britain Waa Delight fully Deceived.

"The doctors had a terrible time making her cut down the amount of meat she ate. Her- chef, under the orders of the doctors, would serve her a thin slice of chop or steak and then he'd get fired. When I went to be her private chef I cooked her a great, thick chop ]sst the way she liked It Then I scraped the meat out of the Inside and stuffed It with sevory herbs. "She was delighted with this new way of serving her chop and while she gased on It with satisfaction and ate It with enjoyment she never realised that 1, had stolen half her meat" , * % j Income Tax Four Cents; ; j He Pays Hi Installments ; * Augusta, Qa.?A taxpayer J 4 wboae total tax la 4 coats and ?

No Other Animal -or Insect Is So Dangerous and Persistent in Doing Harm. ?fDcts mhense damage Value of Food and Property Destroyed p Annually by Each Individual Rat l? Estimated at $2?la Efficient Germ Carrier. # (Prepared by the United States Depart- r ment of Agriculture.) .T-J uecesslty of a campaign of un varying efficiency against the common brown rat is an Outstanding one. No ot?er animal or insect Is so dangerous and persistent an enemy, and no other enemy succeeds in inflicting the dam- v age that the rat annually Imposes up on humanity. The rat population of - the United States is at least equal to the human jjopulatlon, and the same ratio holds true for practically every country under the sun. The bureau of biological surrey. United States Department of Agriculture, places the' value of the food and property de- 5 stroyed annually by each individual rat at 92. Keeping well within thf boundaries of conservatism this means that each year, In this cpuntjy alone, we produce 9200,090,000 worth of food to no other puijpoee than to feed oar rata In another way, 200,000 men In the United States are devoting all' their labor to the maintenance of 100, 000.000 rata. la Efficient (Mrm Carrier. But the rodent's enmity la far from being satisfied by this huge economic injury. A frequenter of all the places that are vile and loathsome, the rat Is * most efficient germ carrier, mm germs of the dreaded "tyack death" have killed more human beings than all the wars of the world's history, e and these germs are Introduced Into j, the human system by the bite of a c rat flea. In India, no lodger ago than r 1896, the bubonic plague killed 9,000, 000 persons. In Europe, during the 11 Fourteenth century. It Is believed to p have brought death to 25,000,000 ho- d man beings. Other diseases, almost ? ss dreadful, are traced to die common p rat Thus, from the standpoint of i public health, as well as from the 6e ceeslty of controlling the drain upon j the public purse, It Is essential that the rat be exterminated.' Once the ex termination Is complete, or as nearly so as modern methods will permit ev ery precaotlon must be taken to pre vent tire rat from multiplying and re- , gaining loeb ground. 1 Exterminating Plana. Trapping should be done continuously and systematically at all rat-infested places. Rat potsona, especially barium 1< carbonate preparations as recently de- n . - . T 1 Every Rat Coota the Nation $2, a Total of (200,000,000 Annually. ??loped by the biological survey, 1 should be employed. In furthering the destruction of the rat community or dvlo organisation is of the greatest importance. It does no good to drive the rate from one cellar Into the next If . they are allowed to breed un molested In their new quarters. When thq campaign la made general the pest Is allowed no mat and no opportunity to Intrench la a new position. If one pair of rata la left they reproduce the original number in a little while, as rats breed flee or six times a year with an average of ten to the Utter. In connection with the extermina tion campaigns, preventive measures should be employed against the rodent First among these Is the protection of all food supplies. Tula Is of prime Importance. The removal and destruc tion of refuse la fhe next step In pre vention, as abandoned dumps and piles of waste material furnish excellent shelter and food for the rats that have been driven from the booses and cel lars. , '.. . . -Vv?

C AVOID SMOKEY OH LAMPS THE FARMER -COMESTO THE CITY There has been a great deal said p and written recently on the subject ii farm home end a greet deal haa been done in thia direction bat it should not be inferred that the farmer is waiting peaaively for these thinga to be brought tb him. He is coming to the city for the conveniences he also needs. It is no longer s matter of the far mer having to time for only occasional visits at long intervals to the eity and upon some actual argent business. He now cornea frequently for all kinds of purposes. If you will aak the city merehanta in'all lines, yon will dad that high grade clothing, furnishings of all ldnda, for tbs house and a wid^ variety of other first class article* are sold as much to farmers as to the city people, and for that matter the fanner and Ids family come to town' for entertainment as much as for the business.
