A ring exhibited at the Antwerp
exhibition was the admiration of
diamond cutters and merchants, be-
ing the first successful attempt to
cut a ring out of single stone.
There are a great many difficulties
in this method of cutting diamonds.

and particular veins, all of which
have to be carefully studied in order
to prevent splitting just as success

Dreams are curious things. About
a week ago a West Philadelphia girl
lreamed that she lost her watch, and
in the morning she looked in the
place where she always put her time
piece, to discover that it was gone.
This, of course, led her to believe
that someone had actually stolen it,
and that she was not dreaming, but
was merely in half sleep. With
this disheartening suspicion the
crestfallen young woman told her
brother of the affair. The brother
had to visit various pawnshops and
station houses, give careful descrip-
ton of the costly article, and was
kept hustling around about three or
four days, vainly endeavoring to get
a clue. But he finally abandoned all
hopes of recovering the lost treasure.
In the evening of the very day that
her brother discontinued the search
the fair loser of the timepiece had
another dream. This time she dream
ed that before retiring she had hid
den her watch in shoe in the bot
tom of a closet. After rising next
morning, merely out Of curiosity, she
went to the place designated in her
dream, and to her amazement there
beheld the innocent timepiece.

solitary, secluded life, only venturing

glasses (Which I don't NEEDY as a
means of disguise. Of course it
should never have happened. I ad-
nit that. A word of explanation and
all would have been well, and
should not now be living with the
sword of Damocles hanging over my
head. But let the opportunity slip
and plunged myself into an intrigue
which may yet end in bloodshed.
It began with very simple mis-
take on my part. l was lounging on
the pier at Eastsea one fine morning
in September, listening to the grand
selection from the bohemian Girl"
(they play this every day at Eastsea)
and watching the promenaders, when
my eyes fell on a young lady who
was sitting in quiet corner reading
a novel. I could not see her face, for
it was hidden by crimson parasol,
but her general appearance at once
told me it was Flo Beresford, one of
the prettiest girls [ knew, and, in
wardly congratulating myself, I rose
and crossed to her.
So absorbed was she in her book
that she did not hear me approach,
and to attract her attention q know
her very welD I playfully tapped the
sunshade with my paper. She looked
up in moment, and then, to my
horror, I saw J had made a mistake;
it was not Flo. but a stranger.
1 stood paralyzed, trying to frame
an apology, but before I could get
the words out was amazed to see
lovely smile of evident recognition
and a still lovelier blush overspread
charming face.
"George!" she cried in a joyous
tone. "This is a surprise. When did
you come? But there, sit down."
Now, I know that this is where I
made the fatal error. It was evident
that / had a double, and equally evil
dent that she was mistaking me for
him.
I know I ought to have undeceived
her, to have murmured a few words
of apology, raised my cap and gone
away, but did not do this. Perhaps
it was her eyes or her mouth or her
hair. I don't know. But, anyway,
she drew her skirts aside, and I sat
down.
'What made you come $3.50 sud-
denly?" she asked.
"What!" then recovering myself.
"Why, you, of course" She blushed
divinely.
Couldn't you wait for my an
swer?" she murmured softly.
NO. I said, 81 couldn't"
She turned over the pages of her
novel in distracted fashion. On the
fly leaf caught sight of some writ
ing-"To Lucy from George" and
the date.
Then a sudden inspiration struck
me.

"And as it is I've missed it,
eyes, you've missed it,"
"But you'll tell me what-what
you said?"
She bent her head and toyed with
the tassel of her parasol. She was
very lovely.
'I've half a mind not to-just tc
tease you," she murmured.
EDO you want to drive me distract

A ripple of laughter came from hel

"You see if you'd only waited?"
"But II couldn't wait. Lucy

I took it, that I only wanted to see
if I had spelled necessary with one

She opened wide her eyes.
''Necessary?'' she said. "Why,
there's no such word in the letter."
''Isn't there?'' I murmured. 'Let
me see.''
Yes, I read it, but I don't think it
would be right to let anyone else do
so. Ny theory was correct, however.

it to her. 81 didn't use the word''

had simply been a very innocent

Hang it, you know it wasn't right!
1t fact, it was dishonorable. well,

what it was likely to be, and-well,
at o'clock I was sitting in the front

Our corner was vacant, and we sat
down. Her eyes were very bright,
and her cheeks were flushed. 1t was
a mild, warm evening. The sea
splashed lazily on the golden sands,
and the band played dreamy waltz.

How DO They Like 1t?

BY two aiIidavits and signed letter
each from reputable citizens, The Trib-
une has proved the utter falsty of the
Scranton Republicans charge that
1Tohn VI. Edwards tried to steal the
delegates away from the MOir ticket in
he First district of the Fifteenth ward,
)Or that he in any way attempted To
transgress his legal rights as vigil
sncr committeeman. Yet the sin
hardened editor of the Republican, in
the face of this testimony, repeats his
unsupported slander and renews his
attempt to blacken the character of 4
young Welshman whose oifense con-
sists Of being "a clerk in William Con-
nelis office"
We desire to ask the Republicans of
Hyde Park how they like this kind of
treatment. Are they willing that their
candidates on the Republican ticket
should be- defeated and their young
men Viliied by the notorious man who
edits the Scranton Republican simply
because they will not consent to do
Joseph A. Scranton's INSCRIPTIONS
bidding? Must every man who does
not cringe the knee at Scranton's com
mand have his good name bespat!ered
by false and malicious charges and be
held IN in Scranton's paper to scorn
and ridicule?
This Is question for careful con-
sideration. The libel on young Ed
tionality, which the Welsh voters of the
West Side should not fail to resent. If
Scranton can without rebuke slander
one honest Welsh boy, he will yet SLAM
der others: and while he is encouraged
to discharge his venom at will in this
community, no man can feel safe.

In connection with the recent revival
of the postal savings bank project,
which Postmaster General Wanamaker
championed with much zeal during the
preceding administration, William T..
Curtis presents in his Washington let
ter several facts of general interest. Mr..
Curtis notes that in Japan. which has
lately adopted the plan. there were, in
1899, 9S9,092 depositors out of a possible
Al 100000 of population. In 1895 this
number had increased to 1,139,33l The
value of deposits in 1893 was $24, 5SG. $50.
and in 1895 S2G,646 1O2. which is a re-
markable sum for a people whose
wages are only from 10 to IL cents a
day. In Great Britain there are 5,74S.-
239 depositors I'm the postal savings
system, which is one to every seven
of the population. The total amount
of their deposits last year was $4O7 $685.
2O5. which was an increase of S23. 723. $40
from the previous year. The number of
deposits made last year was 9O3, 1888,
representing "a value of $l23 245, 12O, and
''es 40 N'PNNiaiJ Is tHul
interest, amounting to SS,3OO,52O, was
left undrawn. and placed to the credit
of depositors during the year. Mr..
Curtis adds:
What is called the stamp deposits sys-
TEN mas been very successfully introduced
among the schools i'm Great Britain. and
the aggregate amount deposited by The
childfen last year was over $sOOUOO Under
this system school children are furnished
with cards ruled off in squares the size
OF a stamp. and when they have a penny
they are encouraged TO buy postage
stamp instead of spending 1t for candy.
The stamp is placed upon the card. and
when the card is full 1t is delivered TO the
nearest postmaster. who gives the child
credit i'm passbOok for the amount of
money represented. These cards are sup
piled i'm bulk to the teachers of the public
schools. who are required TO instruct their
pupils daily I'm practical lessons of econ
omy and the benefits of thrift, This Is
said to have an excellent effect not only
among the children. but upon their par
ents also. both by the force of example
and by making known the advantages ana
facilities offered by the savings system.
The fact that one person out of every
seven in the entire population Of Great
Britain makes use iof the postal savings
bank and that 1t represents more than
$iOO,0O0O00 Of their Aavings suggests that
