TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 3.-For the first
time since the national guard was or
ganized in Kansas the field officers are

case against Col. ]. w. +. Hughes, who
is charged with ''disobedience of the
orders of a superior officer" speaking
words inducing others in the military
service of the state to misbehave be-
fore the enemy" 'giving intelligence

Judge Frank Doster, of Marion, is

Gen. Morton's Witty Retort to an Ad-
miral's Criticism of a Portrait.
An instance OF the quick wit of Gen.
Morton was told some years ago in con-
nection with the anecdotes of Commo-
dore Porter, father of Rear-Admiral
Porter.
AT the close of the war of 1912, the
commodore was in the habit of spending
much of his time ut Gen. Morton's hos
pitable mansion. The generals library
was adorned with portraits of distin-
guishcd naval officers-Decatur, Balm
bridge, Perry, Morris and Others
The commodore expressed his admira-
ton of the fidelity with which these
portraits were executed, but added the
criticism that he considered them too
large.
Now I intend to add my portrait to

it shall be done in quite different

in America, and only recently adopted
by few of the largest establishments
in Europe. Instead of following the
old method of rubbing two stones to-

lathe revolving Mt Il high rate of speed,
and is placed in contact with another
diamond, that is likewise fastened in
an adjustable chuck, held in tho hand
of the oper ntor. In the course of this
operation the stone receives it's form
and outline. This process secures q
much better result than could be OBJ
tanned by the old method. The pow

blng against each other is used later in
polishing.

molten lead, allowing particular sec

lead has hardened the polishcr places
the stone upon his wheel, which ro-
tatcs ut the rate of two thousand three
hundred revolutions per minute.
Each setter has from five 10 six pol
ishers to supply, and as each polishcr
has at least four diamonds in work at
time the setter has fully twenty diff

having arrived at q certain stage the
stone is sent back to the cutter to re-
move sharp edges or irregularities that
may have arisen during the process of
polishing. At his hands, also, the
stone receives its pcrfcctly-roundcd
form, after which it is returned to the
polisher, who gives it its finishing
touches. 1t is interesting to note that

Fashion Now Allows Them to Walk Out
Unaccompanicd.
The independence of action charac-
teristic of the day as regards the femi-
nine world exercises marked effect
upon the attitude taken up by young
English girls belonging to the upper
classes. Formerly they were hedged
round by many restraints; they were
not allowed to go here or there without
being guarded by one of their own sex,
either by mother or maid. Did they go
shopping, maid must CO. too, and sit
in the shop side by side with them:
did they go ont to afternoon tea or to
make call, the maid must go, too,
and wait in the hail. 1t is now consid-
cred quite permissible and quite
conventional for young girl to
walk by herself through the streets
of London. She may walk alone when
shopping, when visiting, when attend
ing classes or lectures, to early and
late church services. to study art at
South Kensington and other museums,
or travel by train on district, main CIR
suburban lines, or wherever engage
ments lead. The line is certainly
drawn at walking in Hyde park alone,
although some few independent maid
ems consider their pet dogs sufficient
protection even there, but there is no
restriction as to the length of time n
young lady may look in at shop win

problem, no matter how difficult, has
been demonstrated Il thousand times,
and scarcely n day passes without some
fresh cXcmplification. New processes
IRE continually being discovered,
new machines invented and ideas i'm
proved upon that for years have been
held to be the highest stage of develop
ment possible.
One of the most marked illustrations
of the ability of American worlsmcn to
cope with the demands Of every branch
of mechanical science is afforded in the
recent Inauguration of diamond cutting
In New York city upon n large scale.
Ever since the art of cutting diamonds
III a scientific manner was developed
over four hundred years ago. the proc
css has been confined to IL small dis
trict in Europe, and by carefully re-
stricting the number of persons taught
and zealously guarding the supposed
secrets of the art, it was kept within
narrow bounds and not allowed to
spread to other countries.
1t was in 1870 that guild of diamond
cutters was established ut Bruges, in
Flanders, and from that time down to
the present the art has been practically
monopoly in that part of the world,
centering finally at Amsterdam, to
which city it has been almost entirely
confined for long period.
The process followed there, which
consists of grinding down the surface
as we'll as cutting, is slow and tedious,
and, being done entirely by hand, occu-
pies for a single stone the continuous
labor of months. The famous Pitt dia-
mond, for instance, required two years
for the completion of the process. Two
diamonds arc employe ed, each cemented
into the end of a stick or handle. The
stones are then rubbed together with
strong pressure, being held over
metal box having double bottom, the
upper one perforated with small holes,
through which the diamond dust falls
