One OF the institutions here
which has the special attention OF
tourists as we'll as the local people
is the Mint, which is established on
Nuuanu street, opposite Queen
Emma Hall. 1t is interesting to
enter the large main working room,
where general manager McDonough
and his corps Of assistants are at
work. The cool and large lanai is a
proper resting place and the vaults,
where the "bars" to be minted and
beer are kept present a very taety
spectacle. The Mint is open from
5:30 =. m. to 1l:30 p, m. and during
those hours the work never ceases.
Visitors after looking over the place

THE OLD AND NEW FORMS.

each cone made up of planes and tri-
angles. Looked at from any direc-
ton, the triangles and planes scin-
tillate and flash light at all angles,
making it impossible to see within
the stone.
The retroactive and reflective power
of the stones are both increased by
the new form, the planes in most
cases receiving light at the angle of
total reflection and flashing it out
with full force and without loss.
Other peculiar properties of the TWEEN
tieth century cutting that do not
exist in any other form yet discov-
cred are ~ that through the in
creased reflection and refraction of
the light the stone appears to be at
least one-third larger than it actu-
ally is; (2) for the same reason the
color is intensified so that a white
stone looks winter, a yellow, yellow
er, and blue, bluer; while third
property is an increase in rainbow
tints, due to the increase in the num-
Der of prisms at the edge of the.
stone.
Owing to the intensifeation of
monds, such as River stones, Blue
Wesselton, Wesselton and Crystal
can be used with this cutting, and
this, combined with the fact that it
is impossible for a regular cutter to
cut this form without learning an en-
tirely new method, makes the price
so high that it puts them out of
competition with commercial lines.
For this reason they are not handled
by the general run of retail jewelers.,
but only by those having a trade
that will pay well for exclusive
products.
It is, therefore, safe to predict that
while the twentieth century cutting
will be appreciated by the trade in
general, and by lovers of fine stones
| in particular, nevertheless it will not
interfere with the general trade in
brilliants of the present form, and
will not be seen except on the most
perfect and special stones that come
| into the market. To the inventor
however, are due the thanks Of the
public for the introduction of the
first decided novelty and improve
ment in diamond cutting during the
past quarter of century.-T. Edgar

LUsTRR OF DIAMONDS.
NewIy-Invented Twentieth Century
Cutting Adds to the BriIIiancy
of the Gems

That even diamonds may be subject
to changes and styles is evident from
an entirely new form of cutting which
has just been patented in the United
States and Europe by one of the lar
gest cutters and importers of dia
monds in this country This new form
is known as the twentieth century
cutting, and differs materially from,
and is an improvement on, both the
round and cushion-shaped brilliant, in
which form diamonds have been cut
for many centuies.
The present round brilliant was
decided improvement on the cushion
shape which preceded it, but for the
improvement the cutter had to pay
considerably in the extra or waste
loss from the rough stone.
The new twentieth century is
great an improvement over the bril-
liant as the brilliant was over the
cushion shape, but there is a COM
pensating increase both in the cost of
the cutting and in the grade of the
diamond from which It is to be cut.
The brilliant, which has been used
for the past 25 years, as is well known,
has Sc facets; the table" or round,
fiat top, 80 facets on the top, and the
''culet" or point, has "a facets at the
back. The twentieth century cutting
has so facets and planes, 40 of each,
and has no table, or "culet."
One of the defects which the inven-
tor found in the brilliant, as now cut,
is that the ''table" at the top, while re-
fecting light to some extent, does not
scintillate, but leaves a view of the
facets and the culet from above. The
larger the diamond the larger the
''table," and there is a correspond
ing difference between the flash of
the facets at the side and the dull
reflection of the circle at the center.
The newly invented twentieth cen
fury cutting scintillates from every
point, and increases the brilliancy of
the stone by 100 per cent. The in
yentor, who has been an expert in
| diamonds for many years, has for a
| long time sought to overcome the
lack of -scintillation in the table" of
the diamond. and after years of ex-
pertinent has evolved the present
cutting. He went On the principle
that nature makes crystals in octa-
gon and octahedrOn forms, and in
cutting he has followed as much as
possible the natural lines of crystalli
cation.
His patent is essentially on a shape
| formed of two cones, base to base

TOUJOURS
BONHEUR
BY ALLISON rrUNDAY.

THERE had been a thundershower
in the afternoon, but now the
sun shone, warm and bright, and the
whole garden was sending up vesper
offering of perfume and beauty from
flowers heavy with jewels. From her
place at the round table Lois looked
smiling out at the birds and bees riot
ing among the blossoms. At her right
hand was a struggling row of clean
ders in full bloom, filling the air with
their rich fragrance. The giant pecan
tree by the front gate half hid from
her view the levee, which, at the other
side of the road, lowered higher than
the roof of the house. The air was so
still that the distracted "Cheep,
cheep," of lost chicken searching for
its mother seemed only to intensity
the silence.
John, buried in thought, ate his sup
per hurriedly, while Aunt Candace, a
tiny, black, old woman, like tinted
bronze, with face withered into per-
manent smile, her head tied up in a
red and yellow handkerchief, large
brass hoops in her ears, and the neat
est of white aprons over her blue cal

leo dress, stood swinging a branch of
chinaball over the table, as she main
tanned drOwsy warfare with the flies.
A bee, drunk with honey, droned about
the table and flew dizzily away to the
climbing rose which screened one of
the windows; a mosquit ohawk darted
around, scraping its wings with a
brazen whirr against the whitewashed
ceiling; a golden butterfly swan ir-
resolutely back and forth, futtering
over Lois plate. She tapped at it with
a napkin, but Aunt Candace, catching
her hand, said: Don't do dat, honey.
He'll bring you luck. Dat 'toujours
bonheur,' dat butterfy-always good
luck, Miss Lois"
John looked up, absently, from the
cup of coffee he was stirring, and, as
if awaking from a dream, smiled, and
said: "That ought to be the name
of this place, 'Toujours bonheur!' 1t
certainly has been always good luck
for me since you came"
She stood on the back gallery and
watched him as he rode off to his work.
Her sunny hair crinkled about her face,
making a yellow halo, and, as he
turned to throw a kiss, he said: "Good-
by, my little butterfiy-my good luck
bringer."
How handsome and masterful he
looked, sitting so straight, with his
broad, square shoulders and we'll
poised head, and how well he rode.
AS she walked about the back yard,
''shooing'' the chickens into the chick
en- house, she was thinking how she
would invite some of her school friends
to visit her next grinding and let them
see for themselves.
Something cold crept about her feet.
She looked down. A thread of water,
like a long finger. was creeping through
the grass. She stepped aside, wonder
-ingly, and encountered another, steal
ing stealthily toward her. What could
it mean? She looked at the cistern,
standing like a gigantic barrel, behind
the house, but the faucet was closed.
She ran up on to the back gallery and
looked about her. A line of negroes,
men, women and children, some with
hoes on their shoulders, others with
bundles and babies in their arms, were

PUT OUT TIE LIGHTS.

Put out the lights. The curtains draw
aside.
The vigirs done; open the windows wide
The ghostly CLEAN of evenings fading
light,
The deathlil1e stiffness of the middle night,
The monstrous fancies of the fevered brain,
The trembling grasp of life, the pulsing
pain
Are over. Set disorcered things to rights.
The dawn is here at last; put out the lights.
Let in the mornings freshness. AS a dream
1t flows upon us in a fragrant stream
OF Strengthening. Far on its joyful way
A soul is travelling to immortal day,
Safeguardtd in the path that saints have
trod
By level lances of the light of God.
Feasting new-opened eyes on holy sights,
Its night forever done. Put out the lights.
The birds break out In song. Away with
grief!
Joy is the blossom of sincere belief.
Sorrow at best is but mist-born wrath.
Take up again life's duties in the faith
Untouched by fear, untainted by doubt.
For us Gods dawn Will break when lights
are out.
For us an endless morn and glorious sights
When come to US the words: Put out the
lights

DON'T Agree with Bailey.

Recently the farmers of Kansas
were warned by W. ]. Bailey, of Ne
maha county, against using for seed
the corn grown in Kansas last season.
Mr.. Bailey said that he had raised
1900 bushels of corn, but that the
tassel on all the stalks in his fields
had been killed by dry weather, and
that experiments made by himself
showed that corn from this kind of
stalks would not grow. But now
comes Prof Popenoe, of the state ag-
ricultural college, who says that Bal
ley is mistaken; that if the tasseIs on
his corn had really been destroyed,
the fields would have produced no
corn at all. The kernels cannot "set'
until pollen from the tassels reaches
the silk which leads to them.
