J "(Washington Post.) t ' : ' - Diamonds continue 5to -soar higher in pricey and -the vtftndency-. doubtless will persist-unUI the -high, mark "the most the trade will. stand'? has been reached, '. Last year, the average .price' of diamonds in the ' rought rose from 17.18 to" $8.69 per caret. The total output" of "the ' " South African fields was ' $38,150,420 for- the' year, making $777',600,0"00 "' since 'diamond mining became an industry.' 'Their ""original., value was - greatly- enhanced Ty the "cutting process and1 the' proftts of the middlemen, but statisUcs as to i the . price paid by the final pur chaser are, not available. - ; - v. The new ' price level at the mines was owing, like previous-advanoes, to restricted . production. i- The diamond monopoly, probably the closest cor poration in 'the world, : controls ' the supply absolutely and fixes the price arbitrarily. If competition, existed there would be a slump . in values, well calculated- to 'put. ihe-. sparklers on, a basis within.. the reach of all. Working the mines to their full ca pacity" soon ' would glut the market, for, at present '.only. a fewi of ; the most productive diggings ,.are . being worked. . ; " A Question ' of Grammar. (W. T.

GERMAN SCTOOL ! ' IpIFE INTERESTING i ' Not r the least interesting part ' of VGerman 4 Memories" . (Sc'ribn'er's)', by Sidney Whitney, the English 'Journal ist and writer, is that describing school days in a German? gymnasium, which contains an account of this interesting custom : ' . , . ' "By -far. 'the most . pleasing 'feature of . the school probably due -to- the teaching' of PestalozzI, ;,-we're the Whit suntide and summer walking - hours, undertaken by. the .boys In charge Of the masters. ( At Whitsuntide - these jaunts lasted -about ten days,, and. .in the Summer, between "three and four weeks, when the ' itinerary was c ex tended as far ag Switzerland and even Into northern. Italy, and all this at an lncreditably I small .cost. -I can recall a trip lasting ten days, the amount debited to the account of each pupil scarcely exceeding- 2 pounds.,- ' These tours wtre lopked iforward . tp with j delight and discussed by tne ooys ior weeks; even " months,' ahead ' When the day came' and r leather knaPsacka were distributed' all rounds .and .we started for the ria.ilway station, it was a scene of great excitement; - i ; "As we" trudged ' along the" road on a- fine spring: morning one of the mas ters would .produce, a book of German student songs and with a tuning fork lead the singing, in which all joined with effect, as ; the training of the voice-as well '-as gymnastics,-dancing and fencing, belonged to the - regular school curriculum. The ' masters ( in charge were uisualry ?well 'versed 'in geography; geology, mineralogy, bot any arid other natural, ..sciences and drew .the boys', attention to' such facts as would be likely to quicken their interest or ' increase : ' their: knowledge. The varied and attractive nature of the Saxon, scenery, , forest-clad , hills and valleys with rushing streams, lent Itself admirably to such a purpose. The" journey was mapped out" to ouch a many points of interest a possible on the route chosen, ;. Thus in passing Bautzen, the victory of Napoleon .in 1813, became the theme of interest and instruction;" at- HotChkirk; -the defeat of Frederick -the Great. . . - - ' " ' " " ' ' 1 ' Her First Pie. f ' . r(Abbia" C- 11x011... in jLippincotfs.) ,,'fVireUixweU,' .he .exclaimed; -,as , he tackled ' her first meat-pie, "where did you get this?" .
