GENERAL LOGAN'S SPEECH,

| q b. H. H.
a Great Address by n Great Orator to n
.isf.i Great Assembly. a
General Logan, when the storm OF ap-
plause which greeted his first appearance
hadgivcn way to comparative order, spoke
rs follows:
LADIES AND GESTLEMES:-I shall claim
your attention but for very few minutes,
and in addressing the citizens OF Ohio and
West Virginia combined it is very graft
| Tying sight to see the union OF the citizens
OF these two States tremendously blended
one with another. In viewing these old
flags that sec to-day-thosc tint were
tattcred and torn in the service Of their
country, bow most humbly in reverence
to them. 1t is good omen, and ! say to
all that are here present to-day, whether
We agreed ut that time or not, that the
very fact that those flags are recognized
here to-day shows the faith OF the Anleri-
can people in this American Republic j;
and it indicates TO all within the confines
OF this great country Of onrs that this
Union was not saved merely for those
that voted for the Union, but in the
Providence OF God it was saved for every
American citizen, whether he lived North
or South, whether he was on the Union
side or on the Confederate side. II was
saved that these people might all net in
moving forward in the progress Of this
great country,,in the advance OF the Cllris.
tian civilization OF this great people. 1t
was saved that tho interest OF this Ameri.
can people should be one anl indivisable,
and that future generations might say to
all coming after, as also to all present,
that they thank God that this Union is
ono. md indiysable and ssafe for MI, and
for the benefit not only OF our people
here, but that mankind might follow in
the footsteps Of American citizens for the
purposes Of realizing the glories of lib.
erty and freedom upon their own soil.

Prairie Fires.

A prairie fire is not the most pictur-
esque or dangerous thing in the world,
though l have often read of this red
regiment in line charging across tho
plains, driving before it herds of buffa-
loes, wolves and grizzlies, and swallow
ing men at a mouthful. When in tho
Northwest I asked many old settlers if
they had ever known any man in danger
from prairie fire. The answer was al
ways "No." The reason is that the fire
does not advance in uniform line tho
head fire. which is of small width, is
strong and rapid; but the side fires arc
easily stepped over. "The only fire, 4"
said an old fire king, Chat l ever saw
that may have been dangerous for few
minutes was caused in a singular way.
The grass was thick, and the prairie had
been burning some time, and side fires
stretched as far as the eye could reach.
Suddenly the wind shifted, ten miles or
more of side fire turned into head fire,
and for brief period raced over thick
grass like a cavalry regiment. -Joaa

Love. Signs in the Face,

People do not generally think of mar
riage in common sense way, but unite
themselves with any one who takes their
fancy. Divorce courts are full of cases
based on simple incompatibility of tenn
per.
The nervous temperament should unite
itself with the bilious vital, which is
known by plumpness of person, dark
hair, eyes and complexion, activity of
the nutritive organs, fondness of social
pleasures, etc.
The features of the face indicate
great deal as to the activity of the brain
and the peculiar direction of the faculty.
For instances, full red lips, and broad,
prominent chin show great strength and
aldor in the love element. A narrow and
pointed chin is the more exclusive and
monogamic.
The former will usually be accom-
panied by broad neck and expanded
brain back of the ears, while the retreat
ing chin will be found with longer,
narrower neck.
Full, round eyes, high in the center,
are also indicative of honesty and purity
OF love, Wult0 luG UIOdu VI uuG eye lS
more inclined to be loose in love matters.
Low and scowling eyebrows Indicate
subte:fuge and resis;ance-a disposition
to shift, evade and resort to many ways
to accomplish a purpose or to avoid diff
culties. Projecting eyebrows tell of me-
chanical skill, stern nature, with talent
| for details.
Full and finely formed lips bespeak a
large heart. The perfect mouth is full,
with the upper lip we'll curved in the
center, and with neither upper nor lower
protruding. Such mouth indicates love
for all that is beautiful and tasty; a
whole souled and generous nature, good
disposition, strong affections, desire for
caressing and kissing, affections both
active and passive. When the upper lip
is thin in proportion to the lower, it
shows that the affections are not bal
anced. Its possessor may receive cares
ses and kisses, but cares little about
giving them, Lips turned up at the cor
ners indicate mirthfulness.

ISLAND POND, VERMONT FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 81 1884.

afterward. How wrong of me It
would have exz1ass d eve1thing.n
And lfithout a word mdre, both girls
rushed toward each other, and exchanged
a fervent embrace.
Mr.. Merton smiled and seemed to un-
derstand, although neither of the girls
remembered his presence just then.
''But it may not be our ten dollars

THAT is easily tested" said Josie. 81

ton, taking crisp note from his pocket,
and smoothing it out, so that the mark
was plainly visible on the reverse side.
$50 like you, Josie, " said Millv, taking
possession of the money. 81 shall take
care of it this time. >"
Josie made no answer, but her quick,
artistic eye, noted the strong, white,
well-shaped hand on which the bill had
rested; and somehow, the look of ad-
miration was caught by the dark, blue
eyes of the owner of that hand
Josie King blushed violently, and
looked so handsome that Albert Merton
instinctively uttered an exclamation.
"Oh, Miss King, you will forgive me,
know !" he explained. "But am an
artist, and at that moment the turn of
youq head and the expression of your
face, just realized the ideal have been
engaged on. 1t is charming subject
if you would only grant me the privi-
lege of sitting to sketch your head"
Milly discreetly withdrew to dis
tauce, and pretended to examine the re-
covered ten-dollar bill Josie did not
grant the young artists request immcdi-
ately; but her refusal was not of char
acter to render him hopeless. She sub
sequently repented of her lack of amia-
ability so far that she granted Albert
Merton innumerable sittings; and, in
the course of the next six months, his
studio tecmed with sketches of Josie
Kings beautiful head and face; in fact,
he occupied her spare time so exclusive

The art of cutting diamonds was not
pract;ccd in this country until 1853,
when Henry d Morse of Boston showed
what Yankee could do at it. Since
then the business of cutting diamonds
has spread largely from the efforts of
woTkmcn imported or taught by him,
and now there are many wO kshops in
America, chiefly in large cities, where
diamonds are cut TO order. The tariff
has been adjusted 50 as to foster the dia-
mond-cutting business here. Uncut dia-
monds may be imported duty free, but
heavy duty is imposed on the cut stones.
I he modern process of diamond cat
ting is much the same rs that which has
Jeen followed for centuries. The wages
paid the workmen are about the same as
those paid to tirst-class working jewellers.
Mr.. Morse has n machine of his own in
vention which he uses, and which he be-
lieves is an improvement on the old
method. He mounts two diamonds in o
sort of double lathe, using one against
the other. This is close imita-
tion of the old hand method, in
which the diamonds are cemented each
at the end of stick or handle, au1
rubbed together with a strong pressure.
The diamond dust which results from
this process, and is used in cleaving and
/ polishing diamonds, is called bort. 1t is
also made by pulverizing small or imper-
feet diamonds which are of little value
for cutting. The ingenuity of jewellers
has been taxed to find use for the small
diamond chips that come off in cleaving.
Some of these chips are used for cluster
diamond jewolry. Many are used to
represent the eyes of birds or animals.
The rage for solitaire stones of late
years has filled the market with cheap
clippings.
When Mr.. Morse cut the big Virginia
diamond in Boston, in 1919, most
jewelers. doubted the possibility of cut
ting diomonds in this country. But
gradually the inevitable law of trade as
serted itself, and so profitable business
could not longer be monopoized abroad.
There are about hundred workmen
now employed in New York city alone in
cutting diamonds, and their wages aver
age about twenty-five dollars a week.
The expert who decides how a stone
shall be cut does not always perform the
actual labor of cutting, but simply
directs the lapidary how TO cut so as
to bring out the utmost brilliancy of the
stone. 1t happens sometimes that the
first cutting produces a comparatively
the same stone, and, although reducing
it in size, increases its value by produc-
ing greater brilliancy. Sometimes part
of stone may be so hard that it cannot
be polished. 1t is not always the hardest
stones that are most brilliant.
With free trade in uncut diamonds it
is a common thing to send considerable
quantities in paper bags through the
mails between different countries. s.-Neao

THE LOST BILL.
A THANKSGIVING STORY,

Milly Barry and Josie King served at
opposite counters of a great dry-goods
and millinery emporium. That was how
thay made acquaintance in the first
place-nodding and smiling at each
other in the intervals of serving custom
crs. When they came to speaking, and
by easy stages to the innocent confidence
of their age they found they were COM
prnions in so many ways-each being
orphaned, poor, lonely and very sociable
it was natural that they should pres
emily exchange VOWS of eternal friend
ship.
They then hired little room together,
paid equal parts of its humble rent, and
went partners in their frugal housekeep-
ing expenses; and when they drank
their coffee and ate their Vienna roll op-
posite each other, across a dainty little
table they felt as if they had home
once more.
Milly was a fair, pleasant looking girl,
with soft blue eyes, brown hair, and a
fresh red-and white complexion; Josie
was tall, slight, dark and pale, with
glossy black hair and large, dark brown
cyes-a very handsome girl, as was often
remarked by ladies when she served
them, with rather queenly air.
The girls were direct contrast in
personal appearance-another reason foS
their attraction toward each other.
Milly and Josie had not large salaries
the firm which employed them was
not remarkable for generosity; quick
sales, small profits and very small salar-
les was the rule, in the great EN-.
porium."
However, by dint of incessant econo-
my, and by reason of sharing expenses,
Milly and Josie contrived to put aside a
small sum weekly toward little fund
for great Thanksgiving celebration.
| They were both New England girls, and
in their childhood's days that day had
ever been one of great rejoicing and
much merrymaling in the homes that
remained now only as beautiful and
hallowed memory.
But for once they determined to make
it as much of joyous reality as the
flight of years and the loss of friends and
relatives would allow. They laid out in
imagination quite a sumptuous entertain
ment; and on counting up their savings
few days before the festive occasion
and finding that they amounted to thu
magnificent sum of ten dollars, botE
girls felt justified in, inviting a few
friends to help them eat their turkey.
Mrs. Hobson, their landlady, prom
ised to roast the noble bird, and asked
permission to contribute mince and 9
pumpkin, pie; while the girls themselve!
undertook the cooking of the cranberry
sauce and vegetables on their own tiny
gas stove-for each felt that half the fur
of the entertainment would be lost un
less they personally superintended a por
tion of the cooking.
The great day approached, and it wa
Thanksgiving Eve, and of course thei
marketing had to be done after stor,
hours, for neither had been able to ge
leave of absence during the daytime
the emporium being more than usual,
