In the great diamond fields of KImberley. South Africa, all kind* of pre¬ cautions are taken to keep the workmen and others from stealing the precious •tones. Our illustration shows the way In which the work compounds are protected, the gates of iron piping with circles of barbed wire being un- cllmbable.
SOME BURDENSOME NAMES BROKEN ROCK FORMS A FACE
Perhaps the most burdeoBome name over given to a child was to the daugh¬ ter of Arthur Pepper in 1882. It com¬ prised one name for every letter of the alphabet, in this way: Anna Hertha Cecilia Diana Emily I'"^nny Gertrude Hypatla Inez Jane Kate Louise Maud Nora Ophelia Quince Re¬ becca Starkey Teresa Ulysis Venus Winifred Xenophon Vetty Zeno. P, of course, provided in the surname. Pep¬ per.
Hundreds of examples of this poor form of parental wit occur In the en¬ tries for tho past few years. Noah's Ark SmUh, Sardine Dox, Jolly Death, .ludas Iscarlot Hrown. One-too-.Many .lohnaon, Not-Wanted Smith, Bovril Simpson, Merry Christmas F'^ggett, OdiouH Heaton, Anno I>omini Davis, are the names of cliildren probably living who will have to bear thom through life, unless they wash them¬ selves clean with subterfuge.
There was for a long time a curios¬ ity In iiomenclatnre on the Australian pension list. His name was "Through- much-tribiilation-we - enter - the - King- dom-of-Heaven Smith." Hut tlie offl¬ cials of the Pension department very pardonably abbreviated him into "Tribby Smith."
It is uot surprising that the_naiiic8 of Dickons' characters—odd though they are—should be found in real life, for it was from life that many of them were taken. Some, as we know, were copied from the'namos over shop doors, etc., but this was not the nov¬ elist's only sourt* of selection. Among his papers Johii PVj^ster found careful¬ ly drawn up IfSttf of names, with the source from which he obtained them, and the longest lists were those drawn from the "Privy Council Education Ijsts ' Some of the names thus not¬ ed are too extravagant for anything but reality—Jolly Stick, Bill Marigold, George Muzzle, William Why, Robert Gospel, Robin Scrubbam, Sarah Gold- sacka, Catherine Two, Sophia Dooms¬ day, Rosetta Dust, Sally Glmblet!
I During a great storm several years ago four or five large' boulders broke ' and fell away from a rocky promon- ' tory at Farwell point on Governor's Island in I^ake Mendota, Wisconsin. I Later it was noticed that the remain- i ing rock of the promontory was in the i shape of a remarkably expressive face. ; The nose is sharply pointed, the lips i are thin and compressed, there is an ] aggressive, sharply iwinted beard, and I the entire expressior. is that of stern ! asceticism. As the rock Is of granite, it is probable that the profile may en- ! dure for many generations If not cen- I turies. Had this (singularly striking i roek face been fashioned by nature a j couple of centuries or eo ago when i Lake Mendota and the region about ; was Inhabited by Indians, there \v'ould I be today a dozen aboriginal legends and tradirtbht) of (he "Great Stone Spirit." the "Guardian of the Lake," I etc. As it is, the curiosity merely at¬ tracts the amused attention of visitors
Hot Curling Irons Should Never Be Applied to Child's Hair—Curly Locks Ought Not to Be Braid¬ ed at Any Time.
Small Marjorie having arrived at the schoolgirl age. It Is considered proper to allow her hair to grow, since childish rompers having been abandoned, bobbed-off hair Is also un¬ der the ban. But, alas, wbat a dis¬ couraging stretch there is between the "bobbed' period and tresses long enough to be trimly tied back with the ribbon bow of young girlhood!
If the little maid has curly locks the problem is much simplified, but If her hair Is straight and shows a tendency, as it lengthens, to cling against her bead In limp strings, there Is often great difficulty In keeping It tidily ar¬ ranged in becoming fashion. It is an Imposition on happy childhood to tor¬ ture the growing hair with curling de¬ vices except upon those important oc¬ casions when waved tresses and curl¬ ing locks seem really necessary to match a gala costume.
No mother should apply hot curling Irons to a child's hair, and the "doing- up" process at night often causes real torture to little heads that cannot He comfortably on the lumpy "done-up" knobs that promise tomorrow's curls. If the little giri's hair is straight, the best way to arrange it tidily for September school days will be to part It at one side and tie the topknot at the opposite side of the head with a ribbon.
"When the locks have grown long enough to reach the shoulders two braids may be made, the hair being parted evenly from forehead to nape of neck. The short hralds should be turned back and fastened firmly with bits ot baby ribbon—never use elas¬ tics on a child's hair or the tender ends will split and the healthy growth of the hair be Interfered with — and over the stubby little braids tie big bows of crisp ribbon. This arrange¬ ment of twin bows is very becoming to a bright childish face; and the neatly braided and tied hair will re¬ main in presentable condition all day long.
If the child's hair is curly and fall.s about her face and on her shoulder^ in soft waves and lovoly curls, tr," braiding process, which takes tiin«'. !¦< unnecessary. In fact, curly hair should not bf- braided at all, since braidiii,' will tend to destroy the curl in thu hair. Part the locks far over at onf side of the head and draw the liair Hoftly and loosely across the top, fas- tcnin.n; it at th-^ opr>osite side over t!'r' far, with one nf the small shell pins The fnds of the drawn-acrosa Inrk will form a loose curi, hanging a littl" shorter thnn the other curls which rest on the slioiilders.
Over the shell pin, if desired, mnr 1k> tied a perky ribbon bow. Since tlif constant tying and untying of the linii- bow soon reduces ribbon to a limp rag. one resourceful mother has made a little hand of ribbon which sn.Ti) fastens around the pinned-back liiiir A crisp bow is sewed firmly to the rib¬ bon band and there is no necessity for untying the bow when the hair is arranged,
When the hair reaches below the shoulders and the gir! has attained the dignity of ten or eleven years, another coiffure la ready for her. The front hair Is softly parted In the middle and drawn back In loose waves to the crown, where a shell pin holds It. Then all the ends, curly or straight, are caught together Just below the shoulders under a bow of wide ribbon

Earth Pyramids of Useigne
The earth pyramids of Useigne are situated high up in the Val d'Herens, which runs couth to Eyolena from Slon In the Rhone valley. They are the remains of the lateral moraine fornted by the great glacier which once occu¬ pied the bed of the Val d'Heremcnce, which here enters the Val d'Herens on the l«ft. The perched boulders have protected the underlying, conglomerate from the corroding action of the rain, and aa a result we have the so-called rain or earth pillars of the geologist. At ona part they are tunnelled to admit \\a passage of the poat road from Slon to Evolena.
It Is the accessories of this suit that are most interesting—although the suit of blue linen is smart, but It is the charming parasol of poret silk, tbe exaggerated stand-up collar with tbe black tie and tbe suede and pat¬ ent leather shoes tbat lace at tbe sides tbat are especially worth attention.
Scenting the Hair. A delightful way of Imparting a deli¬ cate scent to the hair is to let It fil¬ ter through In the form of steam. It sounds difficult, but it is not at all. Simply fill a small bowl with boiling water and pour seme of your par¬ ticular perfume upon it. Tbe two liquids will not mingle, buti If you h6i.d your head over tbe bowl tbe steam of tbe water will carry tbe facent witb it and tbrougb tbe hair In a moat ¦atiafactory Taabion.
