The PROCESS q Stone. CuttIng.


"There is q perfect specimen Of tho
lapidist's art, 7 said j. w. Beath, as hc
handed across the counter fine spcci
men OF the cairngorm.
Observe, he continued, sthe num-
Der Of facets on thatRtone. There are
three hundred in all, and each one is

weighs nearly two ounces, and vet 50
truly is It cut, the oval shapes SO geo
metrically perfect. that it will stand on
it's pivot, which is not 50 large as pin !
head, and, suiting action to word, the
lapidist deftly placed the stone on
sheet Of glass, and, the center of gravi-
tation falling within its pin-head base,
it remained nicely balanced on its lower
point or pivot.
"Will you tell me how the transfer
nation Of the Opaque, muddy-looking
stone in the rough to the sparkling gem
Is cttectedP' asked the visitor.
''Ihe rough gem goes through three
processes before it is ready for the Jew
eler's window. First, piece of the
stone must be cut off as nearly as posi-
BILE the size required. The saw used in
doing this isa circular piece Of sheet
IA
workers saw, and operated by a foot
treadle. Two men stand at this saw,
each having foot upon the trcadle.
One man holds the stone to be cut
tightly against the edge Of the saw,
while the other, using feather dipped
in oil, applies diamond dust to the edge
Of the saw. The saw being made Of
very ductile metal the tiny particles
of diamond become imbedded in il. and,
acting as cutting epoints, soon wear
through the hardest stone. Now the
piece cut off passes to the cutting table.
Here is Q wheel strapped through the
center that revolvcs parallelrto the top
OF the table. The stone to be cut IS
fastened to u stick about six inches
long with cement. The lapidist takes
the stick in his right hand, steadies his
hand on wooden rest, which is adj
iusted to the right of the wheel, and
holds the stone firmly to the wheel nn-
I'll one facet is ground down. To the
wheel, should add. Is applied diamond
dust and water The table and upper
facets Of the stone are cut this way, and
the stone is then removed from and re-
adjusted to the stick before the lapidist
cuts the under side collets and re-
naming facets.
''The manipulation Of the stone in
the third, or polishing, process, is iden-
tical with that Of the cutting The
wheel, however, is composed mainly Of
tin, and tripoli and rottenstone are used
in the polishing. If you will look closely
at a small diamond or crystal, and
notice the number of facets, their
equality of size and harmony Of form,
you will be able to get an idea Of the
skill, care and long practice called for
by the work. -Philaaelphfa Press.

pone Miss Lindsay. After all. had he
compromised himself? Did not many
bachelor whisper tender nothings on
q sea-voyage without intentionsp Was
it not expected of him TO charm away
seasickness and cnnui? Should he not
go to see her, naturally, like any other
friend-like DIR. Johns when opportu-
nifty offered, and let affairs adjust
themselves? After a months reflection
he adopted this course. It seemed to
nm that Lucille was triile paler than
before, but she made up for this defect
by a greater viyacity. Pesently he
found that when he called for an hour
ne was apt to remain two. After his
first visit they never referred to the vow
age. One day he met Dir. Johns com
ing away from her presence; he had an
arr OF suppressed excitement about him.
1t was year since they had parted on
the Malta. 1.-THE fellow is almost
handsome" thought Harrisse, ''and he
is in love with Lucille" Miss Lindsay
was engaged with headache, and
begged DR.. Harrisse would excuse her.
The words sounded strangely to him;
he felt dazed and miserable, and angry
with DIR Johns, as if his visit had some
thing to do with it. All at once the fact
that Lucille had begun life as circus
rider seemed trivial and of no impor-
tance compared with the greater fact
that he loved her. Let those laugh who
win. What did it signify to him,
though Beacon street and all creation
disapprovedP
He drove home, and went to his IL
brary It seemed as if there was no
time to lose. He never remembered
having been in such hurry before in
his life. Why had he postponed happi-
ness so long? 1t was late in the follow
ing day when he received Lucile's re-
ply.
"Your kind words she wrote, '.have
carried me back to those halcyon days
on the Malta, when / believed myself
as desperately in love as you believe
yourself to be to-day / confessed all
this to DR.. Johns when he proposed to
me yesterday morning, and he was will
ling to absolve me-
DIR. Harrisse tossed the letter into the
CRATE, and went out to his patients.
1t was perhaps half dozen years
later when, looking over some old
papers, he happened upon the charred
remnant of Lucile's letter, which his
servant had rescued from the fire and
folded away. He opened it curiously,
and fingered over it, fascinated.
II confessed all this to DIR. Johns
when he proposed to me yesterday
morning, and he was willing to absolye
me, he read; "but if you love me
poor Dr. Johns! / should like to pun
ish you; should like to quote to YOU,
There must be Nautch girls and circus
riders, perhaps, but we do not choose
our wives and sweethearts from among
them, and refuse your gift--but love
you. 'LUcILE''
At this date, however, Lucille had
long been Mrs. DIR. Johns. Mdrg N.

The Flames Of Etna.

A correspondent of the London
Times, writing from Naples, gives some
interesting details of the eruption of
Mount Etna: "At Reggie and Messina
showers Of sand and lapilli fell. But
so dense was the cloud of smoke and
fine ashes in which the mountain was
enveloped that even at the foot of Etna,
only occasionally, when there was an
opening in the cloud, vast column Of
fire could be seen ascending from the
principal crater. The obscurity, how
ever, in which everything was involved
served to render the scene more alarm
ing. The eruption commenced on the
night of the twentieth of March, and
from three o'clock in the morning till
six o'clock on the following morning
ninety-two undulating shocks of earth
quake were felt. They continued after
that time, though with less violence.
till, on the night of the 23d, two terri
BILE shocks were felt. at Nicolosi. and
another on the night of the 23d Il
would appear that this great commo-
ton was the prelude to vet
greater eruption, and, indeed, eleven
new mouths were opened above Nico-
losi, which yomited forth sand, scoria,
lapilli and dense smoke with fearful
roarings. The activity of these mouths
is not very great, which is regarded as
an indication of yet greater disasters.
Many families have abandoned the
points most threatened, as Nicolosi and
Belpasso, but those who remain sleep in
the open air, and the troops wfiohave been
sent are engaged in erecting tents OF
breaking down walls and houses in dan
ger of falling. Great exertions are made
to keep the people from the churches,
which on the occasion of such awful
events are always sure to be crowded.
A sense of security is felt within these
sacred buildings, though there are no
places where there is greater insecurity.
Happily, no human victims are reported
up TO the Esd; and it may be explained
by the fact that shocks of earthquake
occurred principally by day. when peo-
pie were on the alert. But much dam.
age has been done to property In some
small villages on the middle of the
mountain houses have been thrown
down, and little chapel at Macchia
has fallen. At Zaffarana six houses
were ruined, and the facade of the
church; while the barracks of the Car
bineers were assured. Other churches
and houses are reported to have been
damaged, but it would be an endless
task to note all. Wherever buildings
are in a dangerous state orders are
given to demolish them directly. Fur
ther intelligence is anxiously expected;
for though there was short cessation
of the shocks, and people in some
places were resuming their usuul occu-
pations, the mountain was discharging
its contents abundantly, and no one
eouldsay that the danger was entirely
removed, p

An Indian PreachIng . Indian women.

There was a curious practice among
the Indians on Puget Sound in the early
days. Itwas the lecture or sermon that,
at stated periods, was delivered exclu-
sively 10 the Indian women. An i'm
portant member Of the tribe, the big
chief or the medicine man, would select
a promontory or island remote from
the mainland, and paddle himself there,
solitary and alone, on fine day Soon
all the squaws would be seen following
him, padding vigorously toward the
common point. No bucks were among
them; they all remained ON the MAIN
land. The preacher, instructor, ex-
horter, or whatever he was, often stood
in the water up to his knees for full
hour or more while he delivered his dis
course; but the squaws and Indian maid
ems gathered as close around him as
their canoes would permit, so as to
catch every word that fell from his lips.
Savonarola was never more in earnest
than this dusky preacher; his face and
action showed he realized the inpor-
tance. of his work. He was supposed to
be instructing the women as TO their
proper duties in their savage life: but
whatever he said, they were eager TO
hear it all. There was no noise save
the occasional chatting Of one canoe
against another as they moved with the
slight swell Of the water. 1t was an ex-
citing spectacle tosee the dusky women,
when the service was over, start in an
cumulative race for the mainland, their
dark sinewy arms plying the flashing
paddle as the white canoe cut swiftly
the placid waters of the Sound until
with laughing banter the prows touched
the shore and they rejoined the bucks,
who were idly awaiting them,
