Diamonds in Process Of Polishing.

In the case of diamonds the term
carat means weight and is derived
from an Indian seed which when dry is
absolutely uniform in weight. A dia-
mond weighing 100 carats, therefore.
is one that is of the same weight as 100
Of these Indian seeds. The end of an
ordinary lead pencil represents the sur
face of a stone between l and ~
carats. The cutting of diamonds and
their polishing are done with diamond
dust mixed with oil and placed upon a
wheel that revolves with great rapid
ity, the diamond in process OF polishing
being fastened to a steel armresting on
the wheel The facets are cut on math-
ematical lines to reflect and refract the
rays of light, and there are SO such
facets on every full cut brilliant. A
rose cut stone is one not sufficiently
deep to admit of regular cutting, and,
rather than sacrifice too much, instead
OF being cut to a point underneath 1t Is
fat, with facets on the top. This vari-
ETY. of diamond Is only about a quar-
ter the value of a brilliant Of similar
size and weight. 1t was supposed by
many that white was the only color
known to diamonds, but there are
black and coffee colored stones, and
these possess great value on account OF
their variety.

THE CAPITOL BARS.
Mrs. Nation Would Experience
Difficulty in Finding the
SfateSmen'S Booze.

There was a rumor out yesterday
that Mrs. Carrie Nation, the saloon
smasher of Kansas, had been invited
to Washington by the members of the
w. c. T. U. of this city for the purpose
of smashing the "bars" in the capitol,
but it will be difficult for her to find
them.
There are counters covered with
plates of sandwiches, quarter sections
of pies, doughnuts, bowls of baked APP
plies, cold roasts of ham, beef and NUT
ton and big slabs of corn beef, but the
whisky is served at tables in the res
taurants, and is brought in decanters
from unknown sources on silver trays
with neatly folded napkins and fine
crystal.
Mrs. Nation could smash few pies
and cakes and tip over a pyramid of
shell oysters that stands at the end of
the counter and no doubt create con-
sternation among the Incorporate
oOeSNSoA w ~ boppCu w 'AdNC SOhC
down to get their drink. There are
several large mirrors she might smash,
but that will injure nobody except the
taxpayers, for the furniture of both
restaurants belongs to the government
of the United States. The man who
runs the senate restaurant is appointed
by the vice president. His name is
Page, and he comes from the state of
Maine. He keeps hotel down in the
woods where Senator Frye goes fishing
and is celebrated for making the best
Goldfish balls and mince pies in the en-
tire universe. The man who feeds the
house of representative is selected by
the committee on public buildings ard
grounds, but has nothing particularly
to distinguish him from other cater
ers.
If the barrooms at the capitol are to
be smashed Mrs. Nation or somebody
else will have to be imported for the
purpose, because no woman in Wash
ington has the nerve to do it. Wash

about me.

about me.
"Well, wish you could have seen me
at work on the picture. 1t would have
been an excellent object lesson of some
Of the hardships which an artist some
times experiences.
Imagine if you can figure clad in O.
macintosh with a SLOUGH hat pulled
down over his eyes, with a canvas be-
fore him and a paint box which was
rapidly filling with water, and you will
realize what sort of a figure l cut when
at work on this picture.
"The fisherman who posed for me
was clad as you see him in the picture
that is, in the usual fisherman's garb
of oilskins-and before | had worked
very long began to wish that had a
similar outfit, as the chill wind and
rain soon began to make me feel decid-
eddy uncomfortable.
''Many would think it an absolute i'm
possibility to work under such condi
tons as these and make any progress,
and l will admit that as my brushes
and paints began to drip water when
attempted to use them and the canvas
began to become in a measure water
soaked began to have an idea that I
was attempting the impossible.
But concluded to stick it out and
see what the result would be. and there
you see it, weatherworn looking can
vas and stretcher, but also painting
that is as true to nature as my ability
would allow me to execute and the val
ues know to be as near perfect as it
was possible for me to make them.
Il caught a severe cold in thus ex-
posing myself, and some Of my init
mate friends comforted me with the re-
mark that l was a fool to take such
risks, and perhaps l was, but l can't
bring myself to think So
Mr.. Butler then told of an experience
he and Mr. Dean had in an attempt to
paint from the latter's yacht while out
in the bay.
Mr.. Dean was the leading spirit in
this venture and brought his trim little
yacht into play to carry it out The
idea was to get a fisherman and his
yawl and tie the boat on behind the
yacht and tow the outfit out six or
eight miles and then make a careful
study of the different tones and values
of the scene from the deck of the
yacht.
"Of course said Mr.. BUTLER, I'VE
did not expect to make perfect draw
ing, for that would have been impossi-
BILE under the conditions.
"There we were, seated, we'll out to
sea in small yacht which was rolling
and pitching in the waves that were by
no means small ones. We had placed
our canvas in position in the small
cockpit of the yacht, with ropes at
tached to the sides and fastened at the
other end to the roof of the companion
way and the cabin doors.
about 20 feet astern of us was our
model patiently balancing himself IN
the stern of his small craft. 1t was
dancing like a cork on the waves.
1--WE had brought our boat up with
the wind and of course were making
no Roadway and tried to do as good
work as possible. Our idea was sim
ply this: To study relations in value
between the water and sky, the boat
and the water. etc, on dull, rainy

Treasure. of Aztec Times.


The work that is being carried on In
the Gale de las Escalerillas for the
laying of the sewer mains has led to
important, archaeological discoveries,
for, as is well known, that street. as
well as the present cathedral, formed
part of the site of the great temple Of
Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec god of war.
The latest discoveries seem to be the
most important of all. Foremost
among them are two figures of the god
Ehecatl god of air., the companion Of
QuetzacOatl. One of these figures Is
painted red, yellow, and black, and in
spite Of the dampness of the ground
where 1T has lain for centuries, the
colOrs have remained fresh and vivid.
These idols are adorned with disks
OF gold. which are polished and en-.
graved in a remarkable manner. The
disks are about twenty centimeters in
diameter and the gold plate is Of fair
thickness.
Other objects found at the same time
were four ear ornaments of gold, a
gold jewel case belonging to the god Of
air, beads, amulets of green stone,
axes Of slick, small idols of stone,
iances of sharp stones, a curious mask
of pyrite of iron. knives of large d.

Rnprinp a PEERS Calf.

The moors of Yorkshire and Scot
land have been alive with shooters.
The crack of the gun has been heard
on every hand for grouse shooting has
opened for the year. During the
shooting season in Great Britain ac-
cidents are comparatively rare, consld-
ering the first-class opportunities to
blow off a companions head.
But accidents do happen and the
first man to be shot this season was
Lord Binning. The noble lord is a
bit of a wag, and even when half
his leg was perforated with shot from
his own gun and he was sitting against
a hedge, his wit did not desert him.
for, as the doctor was binding up his
wounds, he remarked:

In the course of an article on the
subject of reciprocity, The Madison
Democrat says:
The industries that now enjoy 4
tariff monopoly will not let go. None
of them dares to throw any of the
others outside the tariff wall. The
moment one of them is deprived of its
particular high tariff it is in favor of
free trade for all. The combine must
stand together or it will fall, so con-
gress can do nothing to further reci-
procity."
In discussing the tariff question in
a speech in Mineral Point, while he
represented this third district in con-
gress, Hon. George c. Hazelton made
a remarkable confession. He said
that while under the existing tariff
laws there were some duties that were
in themselves uniustiiable, it was not
wise to abolish them; because the pro-
tected interests must stand Or fall
