Minneapolis, Dec. 12—Early in the seventies of the nineteenth cen- tury, a young doctor came out of the East and settled in the city of Min- neapolis. He set up in practice within the future heart of the city; he contributed a large share to the free social service which every good physician renders; he made some modest investments in city lots; and he earned, among his neighbors and business associates, a good reputa- tion for public spirit, fair dealing and professional industry. With the ultimate failure of ‘his health be moved to the California coast and there he died. It is said of him that continually his thought returned to the bome of his early adoption, to the medical associates among whom he had mod- estly moved and, with especial inter- est, to the great University of the state, of which he had been practical- ly proud. He left a moderate fortune and when hisestate and that of his widow came to settlement, it was founid that he had empowered his executor to bestow a substantial share of his property upon the Uni- versity of Minnesota, in such a form and for such a purpose as should best serve its existing needs and best DISPLAY MODEL DIAMOND Art Institute at St. Paul has Replica of $6,000,000 Stone St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 12—While they may never be able to see the originals which are hidden away with the crown jewels of England many visitors to the St. Paul’s Art Institute which is fast taking rank among the first organizations of the kind, have in the last few days view- ed with interest models of the Cullinan diamond estimated by ex- pert lapidarists to be worth from 2,590,000 to $6,000,000. “If those things were the real thing,” remarked a prominent visi- tor after looking at them for some time, ‘“‘Governor Eberhart would have to order out the militia to guard them. There are thieves in this country that would spend half their tife behind the bars just to get their hands on them.” All of which recalls how Scotland Yard was thrown into a state of great excitement when plans were made to take the great diamend to London from South Africa where it was discovered. Many persons who visited the World’s Fair in St. Louis will remember how a score of London “Bobbies” stood sphinx-like in the “great room where Queen Victoria’s jubilee relics were exhibited. It was evidence of the thoroughness with which British authorities do things. All of this great care however, was as nothing to the methods adopted when the great Cullinan gem arrived in London. The story back of the discovery of the diamond reads like a Monte Cristo tale. It can hardly be rea- lized when one sees the models now exhibited in St. Paul’'s Institute, which, say persons who have visited the best museums in this country, although not yet as large, rank in excellence with the Metropolitan in Mew York and the Field in Chicago. It is almost six years since Cap- tain Frederick Wells, manager of the Premier mine near Pretoria in South Africa, stumbled on the mond and thought it was a planted for him by some of his em- ployes, so great was the apparent value of the rough gem. Wells was in the act of throwing the glistering mass away, when on second thought he decided to examine it more care- fully. Even on close inspection he could hardly believe he had found the most wond erful and purest dia- mond ever discovered. Wells took his fiod to Thomas C. Cullinan, owner of the mine, even then afraid he was to be the subject of a great joke that would make him the laugh- ing stock of the great. diamond fields. But the expert tests soon showed that it was really a gem of the first water and the greatest magnitude. dia- jok Abercrombie’s, 216 Beltrami Ave. There is no more acceptable gift for Xmas than a book.

Night Blindness. . Inability to see by day is matched by | the commoner night blindness which most of us have known in friend or relative. This defect, which includes an inability to see even by artificial light, is congenital with some people and never overcome. It is often he- reditary. It may also be caused, how- ever, by long exposure toan overbright light, coupled with fatigue. A strange story is told concerning a ship’s crew two centuries ago which were over- come by night blindness so extreme that their captain was obliged to force a fight with a Spanish privateer dur- ing the day, knowing that by night his men would be helpless. In order to obviate this difficulty for future occa- sions -he ordered -each sailor to keep one eye bound during the daytime, discovering, to his gratification, that this eye, having rested, was then free of the defect. The sailors were very amusing in their efforts to retain the bandage well over the eye that must be ready for night duty, and so a method of modifying this trouble was discovered—London Strand Magazine. The Attorney In England. The use of the word attorney de- notes a belated mind. Since Nov. 1, 1875, attorneys have ceased to exist, their title merged by law into that of solicitor of the supreme court of judi- cature, says a writer in the London Mail. The name had long been used as a term of abuse. Johnson observed of an acquaintance that “he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentle- man was an attorney.” Archbishop Trench, In 1859, noted that the word ‘attorney was going out of favor and that the lower branch of the legal profession preferred to be called solicitors. So when the judi- cature act of 1873 was before parlia- ment a clause was inserted abolishing the obnoxious title. But with our de- lightful conservatism we still honor the “attorney general.” Holland. Holland, known as North and South Holland, forms part of the northern part of the Netherlands. These prov- inces are composed of land rescued from the sea and defended by im- mense dikes. Holland was inhabited by the Batvi in the time of Caesar, who made a league with them. It be-’ came part of Gallia Belgica and after- ward of the kingdom of Austria. From the tenth to the fifteenth century it "was governed by counts under the German emperors. Holland was at one time a Dutch republic. It was created a kingdom in 1806, and Louis Bonaparte, father of Napoleon IIL, was declared king. Rattled.
