Value of Heart to Heart Talk.
Then* ore few misunderstand
ings I lull will survive a meeting
and a heart to heart talk.
II is easy lo write ourselves in
lo all sorts of snarls, and the
more we wrile the worse the tan
gle becomes.
The best way to straighten it
mil is lo urrang*** to talk things
over.
When we talk what we say is
explained hy the expression of onr
faees—it can he read in the light
of the eyes and in the smile, and
we can see at onee whether our
meaning is made clear, or, where
it is misunderstood, by the way if
is received.
When we write the words stand
for themselves and sometimes a
word means any one of several
things. It would do us all good if
we would more often go half way
in a frank and generous spirit to
meet and shake hands and say
what we) really mean.
Life is too short for misunder
standings, particularly those that |
a personal meeting and a person- |
nl word will brush away.
The Great Charm of Personality.
"Why, she’s quite, plain.”
So cried a young girl on lirst
seeing a certain world-famed act
ress. She expected a woman of
marvelous physical beauty, and
here,, apparently, was an ordinary
creature like herself. That was
what She thought at first, but af
ter a while she began to wonder
how she could ever have, consid
|ered her “ordinary.”
Most women over-estimate the
power of mere physical beauty
ami under-estimate the power of
personal charm.
Personality is a power to be
reckoned'wil b. and the possession
huf a charming' manner implies
the further possession of some
intellectual quality. It is true Dial
physical bcaiily gives a mere tem
porary satisfaction to the eye, but
il dues not hold and fascinate tin*
mind as llic charm of pcrsonnl
ily docs.
Iioesu’l il often happen I hat a
woman with a particularly beau
tiful face ami "soulful” eyes is
absolutely without “charm” of
any sort ? She can look charm
ing. but that is all. Her physcal
beauty is her only asset; and af
ter a lime that begins to lose its
potency, for there is nothing be
hind it.
As a matter of fact, charm is
rare.. If we meel with it half a
dozen times in a life we may think i
ourselves fortunate. It is certain
that Cleopartra possessed it, all
the more so since modern re
search goes tfi prove that she was
not beautiful; and it is equally
certain that had she been . the
most beautiful of her sex and that
alone, we should never have heard
of her.
Greal beauty is rare, but as all
things are relative in this life, it
would seem that; compared to
that pre-etninent power which we
call charm, beauty is really hub a
common and every day affair.
A Bad Case.
“I>id you hear about the dread
ful mistake Dr. Sawbones made?
That man he operated on for ap
pendicitis didn’t hr.ve what the
doctor thought he had.”
“Didn’t have appendicitis at all,
eh?”
“Oh, he had appendicitis, all j
right, but he didn’t have any
money.”
Kenneth Rudolph brought over
a large raft of logs from the
Swanitz dock with his launch this
morning.

When a man has undertaken,’as^
has Carroll L. Hiker,'the Brook
lyn engineer, a job as large as
that of changing the climate of
the arctic and sub-arctic regions
by rearranging their ocean cur
rents, including the Gulf Stream, |
that one task might he expected I
In use up all nf liis I ime and '
I houghi. Mr. Hiker, however, re-j
cognizes mi such limitation of liis j
enterprise and energy, and lie now !
comes forward willi anolher col- •
ossal scheme—-nothing less Ilian!
one for Inking care of the Mis- ;
sissippi Hoods and making them :
not, only harmless hut helpful.
Some people were rash enough
to I real Mr. Hiker’s grave propos
al In Imild a dike out over Lin
Grand Hanks from Newfoundland
as more amusing than Impres
sive., bill those best qualified to
judge it—oilier engineers, that is
—have taken il with seriousness
and deny neither its practicability
of eonslruction nor the probabil
ity that the effects produced
would be just about what tile in
ventor promises. As for the new
proposition, it lias as the tirsl,
and by no means weak, argument
in its favor the fact that il is ut
terly different from the plan now
follo\ved--a plan known by all the
experts to be wrong in principle
and involving ever greater and
greater catastrophes as it raises
the bed of (he river ever higher
and higher above the level of the
contiguous lands.
.luanuomug me nopciess ai
leinpt to keep Hie Mississippi al
flood within Ihe same channel
that suffices for it when low, Mr.
Hiker would let the waters spread
out over a regulated area some
ten miles wide, thus reducing a
rise of thirty feel to one of three,
and would make the extension so
gentle1 that its only effect would
he .just such a deposit of sediment
rich in plant food as has kept up
the fertility of the Nile delta since
prehistoric times. Some of us
have long wondered why this
could not he done; Mr. Hiker says
that it can lie, and tells how. The
details of his plan, or some of
them, have been published and
need not be repeated here. It’s
another big scheme, but it’s cer
tainly a plausible one. and, as our
interest in the Mississippi valley
is greater than in the Labrador
and Greenland, perhaps the New
foundland jetty scheme can wait
till this one has been canned out

DIAMONDS.

IliaiiKiinls arc • inin>s«*«I nf pure
earlmii. \e.\l In being llnilesl. a
iliaiiinml is |lie barilesl lliing in
tile vvnrId. When it is l'niiml. i| is
rough ami unaUractive, ami - it
takes mouths to grind it down in
to a graceful shape. When a dia
mond is cut and mounted, it
sparkles like best seller co'nversa
tion. A large diamond, worn in
(lie shirt front, is a beautiful or
nament. and usually detracts a
great deal attention from the
plain face above it.
Diamonds are found in South
Africa and South America. The
.soil of the United States is not
impregnated with them, but if
Broadway were to be swept with
a drag net at night, and the re
sults boiled down, if would yield
upwards of a ear load of line
stones.
The diamond is used by young
ladies as an advertisement of
their egnagement, and nothing so
solidifies the love of a girl for
her hero as a nice carat stone in
a ring. In some cases the more
heroes she can have the better,
and when she is finally married,
she! has a barrel of souvenir
rings.
Diamonds are often indulged
to excess by the very rich. A few
diamonds attached to a perfect
lady are all right, but when' she
has to wear'them iryher teeth and
on her ankles in order to make
room, she is no better than a
pawnbroker’s show window.
Diamonds are often used hy
men as an investment. The price
of diamonds is always going up,
and the man who pays $350 for a
diamond as big as a -steamboat
headlight, can often sell it for
$450 in a few years, which is al
most as good as putting money
out at interest. However, dia
monds are more restless than
18-year-old daughters, and after
a man has protected a diamond
ring and stud from holdup men,
burglars and hard times for a few
pears, he has to give up his busi
ness and take a long rtist.
Diamonds are also used to cut
glass, as well as wide swaths.
