The story of- the "Star of the South," one of the largest diamonds ever found in Brazil, is typical of the vicissitudes through which these stones sometimes pass, says the Bulletin of Pan-American Union. Found by a negress in the mines of Gegarem, Minas Geraes, the crystal weighed 254% carats, was of irregular dodecahedron shape, with strongly obtuse angles, and with twentyfour natural facets. The configuration of the facets, etc., showing deep depression, suggests that it was one of a group of crystals. It was sold for $15,000, and the negress received her freedom and a pension as a reward. The first purchaser borrowed $50,000 on it from the Bank of Rio de Janeiro, and afterward sold it to a syndicate for either 170,000 pounds, or $240,000. It was named "Estrella do Eud," and was cut to an oyal brilliant of 125 carats. Thus it made a clean, fine stone, of first quality. Because of its size and beauty it was exhibited at the exhibition of London in 1862, and Paris, 1867, when an Indian Rajah offered half a million dollars for it, which was refused. Later it was bought for the Gaikwar of Baroda for 8 lacs of rupees or $400,000.

We can have no free State except with an educated people, for government must either come from without or within. Men must be made to obey the laws of right and wrong, either by force from within or force from without. If they are made to obey by force from without, that is despotism. We cannot have liberty unless we have forces within the individual impelling him to right courses of conduct. We must compel order] in one way or the other, by police, prisons, and arms, or by reason and by conscience. We have to choose between the standing army and the schoolhouse. It has been said that we cannot afford the schoolhouses and the teachers; then we must pay for the prisons, for the police and for the standing armies. We have to do on or the other. It has been proved that it costs a great deal more, several times more, to kill a man than it does to educate him. In the Indian War, estinAof no* nqnlto ft# Irilllncr maiiiig iuc v-uoi pvi tajiivo wi. u.44??"cj Indians, it cost immeasurably more to kill an Indian savage than to educate an Indian child. It costs a great deal more to arrest a thieving negro or white boy and put him in prison than it does to put him to school and teach him not to steal. And we have to pay for the one or the other. You and I must have in this country men that have been so trained and educated that they can govern themselves or they never will make a self-governing community.

DuBois, Pa., July 16.?Twenty-one miners were killed in an explosion in the shaft of the Cascade Coal and Coke company's mine at Sykesville, nine miles from here, last night. The explosion occurred at 9:30 o'clock, ' but it was after midnight before the extent of the disaster was known. I All of the dead but three are foreignI rn ^ ami rr?nn 1 i rrV> 4- o a era. lue eAyiusiuii ?ao ugui aa evidenced by the small damage done the mine, but the deadly afterdamp is responsible for most of the deaths. Three deaths of brothers and father and son are numbered among the fatalities. George and John Heek and Nick Pavelock and his 14-yearold son were found by the rescuers locked in each other's arms as though they had embraced - each other in their dying moments. None of the bodies were mutilated and few showed any burns. Eleven of the men apparently had made ready to escape, for they carried their dinner pails and were headed for the opening. Safety Doors Flew Open. The first intimation of the explosion at the surface was when the safety door of the fan blew open and the machinery began to run wild. It was surmised there was trouble below but it was almost midnight when rescuers could enter the mine. It took some time to get to the scene of the accident, a mile and a half from the opening, because the rescuers were obliged to carry oxygen with them. All but four of the bodies were brought to the foot of the shaft early to-day, but were kept there until all were recovered. Four bodies wereburied beneath a cave-in in a heading and were not recovered until late to-day. The State constabulary from Punxsutawney was called to police the vicinity of the shaft. No Survivors. ixeuner mine ouiemib uor uumc inspectors can assign any cause for the explosion, as there are no survivors from whom to gain an explanation, but it is the general belief that some of the men drilled into a pocket of gas. The shaft is known as a nongaseous one and Fire Boss John Brown reports he passed through the head where the explosion occurred only an hour before and found no trace of gas. Six men who were in another heading of the mine at the time of the explosion, knew nothing of the explosion until the compressed air stopped their drills and one man was knocked from his rocl? drill. They realized something had happened but did not know the nature of it until they met a party of rescuers -coming for them. " When the rescue car from the bureau of mines reached the scene its services ^wrere not needed, as all the ^ - - J -3 it, ? men were aeaa ana tut; an m mc mine had been cleared. Suggests Swearingen. .Washington, July 15.?Certain lines which the next race for governor in South Carolina may take are indicated in the following from to-day's Washington Post: "The possibility of a second blind senator in congress is suggested by R. M. McCown, of Florence, S. C., secretary of State of South Carolina. "If Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman does not want another term in the senate when his present one expires in 1913," Mr. McCown saifl, "it is practically certain that his nephew, J. E. Swearingen, can have the toga. Mr. Swearingen is now State superintendent of education for Sotuh Carolina and he has accomplished wonders in his work for education. Mr. Swearingen is blind, but his affliction has not impaired his ability, and from early manhood he has been a figure in public matters. If he allows his name to be placed * AU. x^ v _ ?:n v,A lor election to me aeuaue ue win uc elected, whether by direct vote of the people or by legislative selection. "Mr. Swearingen is a forceful and powerful man. -His personality is pleasing, and if he follows his uncle in office he. will be h?ard from on big things." Struck While Playing Golf. Washington, July 16.?Before the eyes of scores of society men and women well known in official life and almost within a stone's throw of the Chevy Chase club house, J. B. Johnson, of New York, recently appointed solicitor of the navy department, was struck by lightning to-day -and killed. Johnson had been playing golf with a companion and was in the open when the bolt struck. His companion and the caddy a dozen yards away were knocked down but were uninjured. Johnson's body was badly burned. Surgeon General Stokes of the navy, wlyj was at the club, declared to-night that death probably was instantaneous. The club is one of the best known country clubs south of New York. President Taft, Vice President Sherman, most of the members of the cabinet and many members of the diplomatic corps are members. VERY STRANGE CASE. Fever Restores Mind of a Man Af ter Years. "The case of Benjamin Leeds" maj become famous among psychologists says a dispatch from Atlantic City. It would seem that of a sudder Leeds' brains, apparently normal became a blank. He forgot his identity, he forgot his wife and children, of whom he had always taken tendei care; he forgot the past. Then, after six years, Leeds fell ill and the fever stimulated his dormant mind. In his delirium he remembered dimly and he muttered words that gave to the acute surgeons -who listened to the clue thai will restore him to his family and may bring him back to himself. In response to a telegram from these surgeons Mrs. Leeds went tc Cleveland, Ohio. She said happily she will nurse her husband back tc mental and physical health, ther bring him home. Leeds, once a well known citizer here, retired from business and wenl to live at Ocean City about sever years ago. One day in the summei of 1905 he left home to deposil money in a bank near there. He did not return. Wide, but vail search was made for him. His wife giving him up for lost, became 2 trained nurse to support herself anc their two children. Not a word came from him or ol him until the message arrived calling his wife to a hospital in Cleveland. Her husband had been taker there ill and with a very high temperature. Tossing on his fevered col the light of yesterday's sun, whicl seemed to have set, dawned on his mind aeain. He uttered disjointed sentences: "My wife, Lydia,?" "Atlantic City?" "So long since I have seen them?' , "What have I, Ben Leeds, done?' "Disgraceful, disgraceful to neg lect." "How they must have suffered."^ The surgeons articulated the sen tences and sent for Mrs. Leeds. Blue and Gray Meet.

L ; Since the discovery that mosquitoes l are not only nuisances, but are also<| conveyors of malaria, yellow fever t and other diseases, a great deal of s remedial work has been done by ini dividuals and, communities, many , remedies and plans of action having 1 been tested on a large scale. L Mosquitoes breed in all sorts of places where is to be found the least P standing water. In pools, springs, - marshy land, rain barrels, water - tanks, old wells, fountains and ornal mental ponds and every conceivable - place. The writer knows of one int stance where a veritable plagute of 1 mosquitoes was traced to a case of 1 empty beer bottles allowed to rel main in a back yard for some weeks in midsummer. ' Search carefully for all such places and either abolish ihe standing water ' by carting away chance receptacles, ' by turning over vessels, by filling in - excavations, or by treating other receptacles with a film of kerosene, or by introducing fish into fountains - and artificial ponds. The common goldfish and silver fish destroy mosquito larvae and should be placed in park lakes and ponds. Drainage of all swampy or low 3 areas needs no argument. This is a 3 very important consideration in the t treatment of the breeding places of - mosquitoes. , While it is obviously best to abol ish breeding places in the ways men3 tioned, it often happens that it is r not possible to drain, and at least as 3 a temporary expedient it becomes de3 sirable to treat the water so as to kill 3 the mosquito larvae. Many sub. stances have been tried, and, aside s from certain proprietary mixtures, s nothing has given such good results 3 as the use of oils. Efforts to find oils 3 that can be used to better advantage i than petroleum have failed. Com1 mon kerosene or low grade, or of the grade known as fuel oil, is the most satisfactory as regards efficiency and price. In choosing the grade of oil two i factors are to be considered: First, - it s'hould spread rapidly; second, it ?V? All 1 A r*Af AironAt*of A f AA All^Alrlv TllA OUUU1U LXKJv CTftpuiaic WW 4Uiva?;< i heavier grades of oil will not spread t readily over the surface of the water, 1 but will cling together in spots ,and r the coating will be unnecessarily ) thick. The rapidity of spread of the film is also important. As to the - quantity, under still conditions, an \ ounce of kerosene to 15 square feet i of surface space is about the righ{ - proportion, and in the absence of - "wind such a film will remain persistent for 10 .days or slightly longer. 1 Even after the iridescent scum ap: ?parently disappears there is still an j odor of kerosene about the water. In a wind the film of kerosene is fre1 quently blown to one side, but with . a change will go back again, so that - larvae are destroyed. Not only are 1 larvae and pupae destroyed by the kerosene film, but many adult mosquitoes alighting on the surface of the water to drink or lay eggs are killed by it. s A common spray pump is very use3 ful in applying the oil.

Many large cities are planning active campaigns against the mosquito - pest, some oh a very large scale.

Asheville, N. C., July 16.?A fatal epidemic prevails in Mitchell county, which has heretofore been unknown | to medical science and baffles skilled physicians, who have made every effort to check the malady, which shows itself by bloodshot stains on the tips of the Angers, passing -v||| through the arm into the body and resulting in death within a few day? ; after the first sign appears. The plague has claimed a number of victims in Mitchell county, one of whom was Dr. F. P. Slagle. Dr. Charles Buchanan, a promt- 5^ nent physician, became affected a few days ago and was sent to a Johnson . City hospital, where his condition is ? said to be critical. There are no paroxysms accompanying the attack. The disease travels along the arm in a day or two VyJmj and, after reaching the heart, results invariably in death. The rapidity A with which the malady is spreading jhas become alarming. BE INDEPENDENT. How to Get a Fair Price for Cottod This Year. . ^ Present prospects^ are that there ?||? ? will be a big cotton crop this year. . , This big crop, if it comes, will be dU0fv^J|S entirely to the work of the farmers or tne soutn. it is going to do wortn .^HgH a big lot of money, too, and will bring handsome profits ^o somebody. tSJjfc ,The question is: Who is this, "sonebody" going to be?the /arm- r?S8fi| ers, or the speculators and cotton jjMMg It is of course,. unreasonable to expect cotton to bring as much per pound when there is a large oorp as M : 5^ when there Is a small one; but it is /JjSyi even more unreasonable for prices to ^1 be hammered down when a good crqp is made so that a large crop may actually bring less money than ".a- .ySHKf small one. This has happened before now, and it will happen again unless the farmers take steps to pre^':i%5jB^ vent it. The men who buy cotton are going to do all they can to force ;.<Tm the price as low as possible. What are the farmers going to do about This inquiry is likely to be met by another: What can they do about;'^ it? And often this question will be asked so as to imp|y that they cag^*v%P^ This we do not believe. There are' J||a several things the individual farmer "Ja V-'?J can do, and others which farmers as a class can do. ^ ^ 1. The individual can, first of all, v^^|| make provision right now for enough feed for his live stock, so that he will not have to sell cotton and buy feed. He still has time to make surO of this; but he must act at once.. 2. He can, if he will start now, M "have hogs enough to kill so that he 'ff?S will not have to sell cotton and buy ' Jfpjj 3. He can keep the garden going. and raise his own vegetables and maybe a surplus. 4. He can take care or the poultry and the cows and make them source of income. \ There are other things he can do to make himself independent of hto;3S ?gj cotton crop; and every man who to. S9k|| able to hold his cotton ahd market as ^ he chooses can help to insure profit-^ able prices for the crop, while every -'Wm man who must sell Is going to depress the price. .. Acting together farmers can agree ; ?^C | upon a plan of marketing and keep the whole crop from being forced on the market at once. They can ^ make arrangements with their local [ bankers for loans, if they need ready ! money in the fall. In many cises, the farmers themselves can finance -;^?B}^ the cotton crop of their neighborhood, by helping out with short-time loans, secured by %the cotton crop, ^ i those who would otherwise have to ^|jW J sell at once. They can keep negro tenants from rushing the whole crop on the market as soon as made, and this they must do if they would keep ' prices up.
