A REPENTANT DOG.
He Makes Restitution for What he
Had Stolen.

He Makes Restitution for What he
Had Stolen.
If anyone else had told the following
story of canine sagacity except the
worthy Secretary of the st. Lawrence
Board of Trade there would be doubts in
the minds of many as to its veracity, but
"Maryen youches for it. and there is
nothing to do except to behave it, says
the Canton (N. W Commercial AdUer-
t3Ser.E ET
The tale is as follows: About a week
age woe-begone, emaciated cur dog of
the terrier variety came to the Secretary's
home on College Hill, and at once made
himself one of the family. He was fed
all he could comfortably carry, and soon
became very risky. y
The Secretary had coop of small, but
fine chickens. One morning he was hor-
rified to find three of the chicks lying
dead on the ground and the adopted pup
just shaking the last spark of life out of
the fourth.
The dog was punished tor the offense,
and disappeared down the hill his heart
broken walls floating up to the July skies.
Nothing was seen of him for twenty
four hours, but when he did reappear all
his old self-assertion and bon homme re-
appeared with him. He hung around the
good Secretary, wagglng his tail with
such selt-satisfied kinks and behaving so
joyously that 1t was feared he was going
to have rabies. At last the cause of his
joy was discovered. Wandering discon-
solately around the hen-house door were
four strange chicks. Their wings, which
were badly chewed up, showed plainly
how they had been brought there. The
pup had lugged them there with his teeth
to make restitution for the four he killed.
Where he got them is still mystery
They are alive and WELL and il anyone
has lost four chicks he should call on the
Secretary.
Later.-Just as we are ready to go to
press we learn that one of the chickens
died yesterday, but that the intelligent
dog within few minutes brought an
other to fill its place. In going for the
last chicken, however. he gave himself
away, for Road Commissioner William
Potter, whose fowls they were, spied the
dog as he sneaked out of the barn with
the chick. He then found that it was the
last of five fine blooded chicks that he
had raised, and which the Seeretary's
adopted dog had stolen. sac +

NEEDS A DELICATE TOUCH.
The Diamond Setter and His Method of
 Fixing Precious Stones.


 Fixing Precious Stones.
 Few people outside the iewelry trade have any idea how the brilliants they buy and wear are fastened into their ettings, and a great many retail jew clers who have sold jewelry for ;ears re equally as ignorant. says the Pitts urFh Dispatch. Jl.e art of setting welry is compare lively simple, the Iiillof as".ter depending on his l,nowl- .ge ot the strength Of material and he delicate touch required, which can nlr be gained by years of practice There are only four distinct methods f setting a diamond, though mount ags are made which involve two or norcuf these methods. The most com non is the clnmp, or claw, setting This comes to the setter with every clamp as straight and square as fcuce picket He imbeds this mountme whatever it may be, in warm shollae on the end of $ stick (six inches uf broom handle is generally uscd) legv- ing the setting exposed This cools and holds the delicate pieces of jew elry firm in al parts. He then. with & thin file, sharpeus all the clamps, bringing them up to sharp points Then with a scraper or graver shaped like Q chisel tall of his cutting tools are miniature chisols of different shapcs) he digs ont bearing or shoulder for She edge of the stone on the inside of each clamp; he now, with a pair of disappointed pliers, bends the clamps inward or outward as they happen to require, until the stone will just squeeze into the circle of clamps
 Then the stone is pressed firmly down until the edge rests squarely on the bearing Of each clamp. This leaves the edge of the clamps sticking up past the edge of the stone. The next step is to push all these ends over the edge and burnish them tight. A pushing tool is used for this a piece of soft steel about three inches long, filed to a small square end and fitted in a round handle When the clamps are all firm in their places they are bright-cut, as the term is. The clamps are trimmed 10 point with three cuts, two on the sides and one on the top. The setter cuts away from the stone and must be careful not to dig too deep into the gold, or he will push the whole clamp away from the stone; then, to make good job, the stone must come out and the clamp be bent inward again. Some who manufacture the finest goods do not believe in bright-cutting clamps on rings, as the sharp edges left are very severe on gloves worn over them. A setter employed by these firms merely files the clamp to a point, and the pol isher buffs it round on top when the work gets its last finish.
