Rings Cut from Diamonds.

Everybody knows how difficult it is even for an experh apidaries to cut diamonds, not only on account of their hardness, but by reason of their struc- ture and veins, which must be well de- lined before the cutter begins his work. M. Antoine, one of the best known jewellers of Antwerp, has, after many fruitless attempts and three years of arduous, patient toll, at last succeeded in cutting whole ring out of a block of diamond. The ring IS perfectly round, with a diameter of nineteen milliters (about three-quar- ters of an inch. It was exhibited for some time in Antwerp, and was very much admired. It's value is not given, as the maker will not sell it. Outside of this ring there is but one other ring known to be cut out of one stone, and that is the beautiful sapphire ring in the Marlborough collection.

Superintendent Epes Randolph of the Arizona division of the Southern Pacific arrived yesterday in his pri- vate car. He was accompanied by Eugene s. Ives of New York, H. P. Mason and Col. w. F. Dandridge, of Frankfort, Kentucky, and by Governor Hughes, who joined the party at Mar icopa. MT. Ives is the leading spirit in the great Colorado river irrigation project, whereby it is proposed to di- vert about 100000 miners inches of water from the Colorado, thirty-five miles above Yuma and lead it far off through the now desolate, saucer-like expanse known as the Colorado des- ert. The fall of the desert toward h. dio will materially assist the engineers in covering with water the greatest ex- panse possible. A second feature of the scheme is to cross the Colorado near Yuma by means of a great Hume, thus bringing water to the fertile ex- panse south of Yuma in Arizona and Mexico.
 Messrs. Mason and Dandridge are representatives of one of the most im- portant contracting firms of the west, now completing contract on the great Chicago drainage canal, and are in Arizona to look over the ground of the Colorado River canal with a view to offering bids on its construc- tion.

from time to time in order that every part
may receive treatment This whipping is
not necessary in the winter time, when
the fur is being worn frequently, if 1t is
we'll shaken every time before it is put on
and shaken again before it is hung away
in the wardrobe. In summer, however,
beating is indispensable and should be adj
ministered every two weeks. In the in
term the fur should be kept in strong
wrapping paper, securely fastened to keep
out the air, and should be placed in dark
closet. Conscientious beating and lack of
air and light are the requisites of perfect
preservation. Spare the ROD and spoil the
fur is an adage to be remembered.
1t is only when fur loses its brilliancy
that it needs to be sent to u furrier for re-
juvenation, and this need not occur for a
long time if proper care is taken.
1t should be remembered by the anna
teur modesto who wishes to cut pieces of
fur to make bands or other trimming that
scissors must never be used, as they clip the
pile, but that sharp knife is the instru-
ment to employ, and that the fur must be
cut from the back. In piecing the portions
must be joined with the pile running in
the same diFection; otherwise the scam
will be visible.
The sketch shows pretty costume for a
little girl. The redingoto is of mordore
boucle wool ornalnented with paste but
tons and a guipure collar. 1t opens over q
full blouse and tablier of old rose peau de
sole. The high draped belt and the draped
collar are of the same material. The gigot
sleeves are of boucle wool goods.

thicknesses that are to be stitched, and
fine machine needle should be used with
a medium sized, rather loose stitch.
Fine cotton should be employed for
basting, and the stitches ought not to be
largo, especially where seams are basted
together, as tho presser foot of the ma
chine is apt to push the upper thickness
along unless it is firmly held in place by
the basting. Nearly all cloths have an
sup and down. like velvet, even when it
IS almost invisible, and care should be
taken to cut the goods SO that the pile
runs downward. Where the straight edge
of the cloth forms the side of breadth
cut off the selvage, which is usually very
thick and clumsy. Sew all seams very
carefully, SO as to avoid the necessity for
ripping, as the marks of pre- viOus sewing
can seldom be removed, but if ripping is
absolutely necessary use a small, sharp
penknifo and rip in the direction in which
the pile runs without pulling on the rip
ped portions. Scrape the wrong side
gently in the direction of the pile to re-
move tho cut stitches and press the cloth
IN the same direction with moderately
hot iron. 1t is only by following this proc
ess that the scars can be effaced.
In taking out hastings do not withdraw
them by pulling one end, as this leaves
line upon the surface. Cut each stitch
and pull it our separately in vertical di-
rectiOn.
The sketch shows a gown of silver gray
peau dc sole. 1t has godet skirt, around
the foot of which is a wido band of silver
gray soutache with steel beads. The
bodice is adorned with four large steel
buttons and opens over a plated chemisette
of pink silk gauze. The bouGant sleeves
are gathered at the top under opaulets en-
broidered with gray soutGche and steel
beads. The ruche of pink chrysanthe-
NUNS has full ends of lace, and frili of
lace finishes the wrists. The toque of
pink velvet is trimmed with black plulnes

How Judge Guthrie Punished Her at
the Suffrage Entertainments
About 400 people attended the enter
tainment given by the equal sufraglsts
at Hamilton hall last night in honor of
Susan b Anthony's 10th birthday. About
300 of these paid Is cents admission each

and good deeds of Miss Anthony.
The court scene was just too lovely
though Charley Holiday and Joe Waters
were not there after all, and great
many people were disappointed and de-
manded their money back. This is the
second time the su1fragists have done
this, and they deserve a scolding; or
somebody does.
Judge John Guthrie put his gum IN
der the table and became Judge Hunt of
New York. Miss Linda Haines was

cution and Hih Case was Miss Anthony's
attorney. Mr.. Case made several re-
marks that appeared to the people on
the back rows to be Interesting and Miss
Anthony began to explain how it was
she shouldn't be sentenced. Every few
minutes Judge Guthrie aroused himself
and said he would not hear another
word, but be did until she had finished.
He was SO mad about it that he tined
her 500 and costs which she said she
would never pay and he committed her
to one of the dressing rooms, but she got
out. somehow.
The jurymen in the case were Chief
Justice Martin, w. P. Douthitt, T. $.
