Adds Value to Diamonds

The most remarkable Is a ring made
of one diamond, the interior surface
being polished and the exterior elabo-
rately engraved. Other examples are
brooches, representing flies, of which
the wings are thin engraved diamonds,
and two diamonds engraved with
armorial bearings, the imperial arms
of Russia being used In one instance
on shirt and cuff buttons.
Formerly it was only possible to
produce the polish on fat surfaces,
but M. Bordinet has been able to do
this on ooncave portions, as on the
body and tail of a fish and the interior
of the ring. His tools produce not
only straight lines, as in the wheel,
the racquet and the flies wings, but
free modelling, as in the pansy, the Rus
sian arms and the scarabaeus. He had
invented these tools himself and in
tends that his son alone shall have
the use Of them. They are exceeding
ly delicate and difficult to handle. He
has spent thirty-fve years bringing
them to perfection. 1t is comparative
ly but few years since it was pos
sible to pierce holes in diamonds. This
feat made possible the placing Of dia-
monds on a string, alternating with
pearls. This work now is done gen.
orally in diamond-cutting establish
mentS.

There can be no doubt that the
CHASTITY carnage at Sha-ho river has
excited general feeling Of horror
throughout the civilized world. Not
only has the slaughter been carried
out on a scale unknown to living man,
but all this hideous butchery has led
to absolutely nothing. After days and
nights Of unceasing and unrelenting
fighting the Japanese, we are told,
have pushed the Russian army fifteen
miles further to the north. Is it sur
prising that people should be asking
what is the good of it? The advance
of fifteen miles in a measureless con-
tinent has been purchased by sacri-
fee of some 80 900 men on the part of
the victors and of the loss of an even
larger number Of men by the Russians.
War of this sort, offering as it does
prospect of indefinite bloodshed so long
as a Japanese force can be mustered
against a Russian one, presents a
spectacle which even to the most in
different and case-hardened must be
intolerable. The loss of life and the
torrent of human agony would be bad
enough in any case, but in the present
war they stand out with gloom

Terrible Cost Of War

that is absolutely unrelieved. Both
forces are fighting for foreign terri
tory, and it is foreign soil which Japa-
nese and Russians alike are soaking
with their blood. No question Of patri-
otism or the defense of hearth and
home enters into the dispute. Men
may die happily for their country, but
what sort of death does a battlefield in
Manchuria offer to the miserable pea
SAINTS who, in obedience to orders are
laying down their lives by the thou
sand? But this is not the only point
to be considered, nor perhaps the
most important. The abandonment Of
two great states to the work of blood
shed is a disaster to the world, which
sees the result of centuries Of effort
thrown away, nor can Europe forget
that these events will be read through
out Asia as a damning indictment Of
that Western learning and civilization
of which our ally is the latest expo
nent. Nothing is more horrible in the
whole chapter Of horrors than TIE
thoughtless selfcomplacency with
which certain Europeans have hailed
this bloody war as a testimony to the
glory and greatness Of the West

Diamonds can be engraved in very
artistic manner. This development of
the diamond cutting art brings into
existence new class of jewelry, for
which considerable demand is ex-
pected. It was long believed that the
diamond could not be engraved with
safe or satisfactory results. A few
stones roughly engraved were found
in India, and diamond was exhibited
at the Paris Exposition In 1878 on
which portrait of the king of Hol-
land was scratched. But the work was
imperfect and the stones were rather
iepOlished than engraved. Some of
the finest specimens of engraving on
Paris jeweler. One is a scarfpin
representing yataghan, of which the
blade Is a slender diamond and the
handle a ruby. Another is large cir
cular stone on which pansy with its
foliage is engraved. In another case
the design is knife made with two
diamonds. An elaborate piece Of
work is a bicycle of which the wheels
are two circular diamonds. The
spokes are represented by lines en-
graved on the diamonds. A small hole
is pierced at each axle. Another dia-
mond is carved like a fish. A hand
some brooch Is scarabaeus, sur
rounded by sapphires and brilliants.

NJ the early age Of 30 settled down
patrimonial estate. l had seen life
and the world in every phase and eli
mate and congratulated myself on
being through with storms, literal and
figurative.
This idyllic existence was rudely in
terrupted by the rising of the widow
above my horizon. When she burst
upon my vision the history of the
world recommended. For a day and a
night l was dazzled, stupefed, and
when / learned that her lands adjoin-
ed mine knew by instinct that it was
all up with me.
| am not one of those who struggle
against their passions and for my ex-
pected tranquility l had counted not
on my will, but on freedom from
temptation.
So [ let myself go. visited my
neighbor and did not conceal from her
the feeling with which she had in
spired me. Accustomed to admiration
and declarations of love, she received
mibe calmly, but replied:
~ shall never marry again. My hus-
band was the best of men and loved
him dearly. That is enough for one
life"
And when l urged, pleaded, protest
ed with the energy of sudden passion
she smiled and said:
What tyrant you would be! No,
l wish to be free"
She was a Creole of New Orleans
and possessed the soft, dangerous
beauty that, even in its decline, made
another creole widow, Josephine Beau
harnais, so irresistible. But my wild
ow was only "a years old and yet
in the perfect bloom Of youth. Her
late husband, an American railway
promoter, had left her large fortune,
which she appeared anxious to ex-
change for French soil. After pur-
chasing the estate adjoining mine she
successfully acquired other properties

"Take it if you want it."
She raised her eyebrows and her
shoulders and dropped the subject, but

room of old Count Lavilleuce, whom
she had just defeated, for she was an
excellent player, for woman.

Ways Of the Tenderfoot

mits, ashamed of being considered
tenderfeet by the biggest tenderfoot
of them all.
A man need not whine when he
runs against hardships; he may even
encounter and overcome them with
certain joy; but he need not run to
meet them and put his head down and
butt into them. What would you think
Of a man who would sail his boat
smash into every comber? You'd be
likely to conclude he did not kncT
enough to luff, wouldn't you? How
about the chap who yanks his trout
out with "pole?" You don't imagine
for a moment that he does it because
he considers six-ounce rod indica-
tive of effeminacy, do you? To get
through a difficult country is tri-
umph; but to get through difficult
country with but a light equipment
ard without serious discomfort Is an
intellectual as well as physical tri-
umph.

What He'd Have Done,

Charles M. Schwab, after his re-
turn from the west, was praising San
Francisco, when some one interrupted
him with the remark:
But you hurried back home. You
didn't stay long"
"You speak," said Mr.. Schwab, Job
liouely. Your remark, in IN indirect
way. is disparaging. 1t is like the
remark that / once heard a bachelor
make on a train.

beside woman with a baby that

pay-in half an hour, in the grove.
She ran away, blushing, and soon
l saw her strolling, with careful care
lessness, toward the grove. 1t was a
long half hour-though | shortened it
by ten minutes. In the sacred grove
she came to me without word and
frankly and loyalty offered her sweet
lips.
When | raised my hand l saw that
she was pale. She trembled and laid
a hand on my shoulder as if for sup
port. Then she laughed softly and
whispered:
"It wasn't fair, you know. | ought
to have made that shot. IL cheated "
So, though she lost she won not the
forest alone, but it's owner and all his
worldly goods, while he won not mere
ly one poor kiss, but bliss prolonged

stopped rowing unhesitatingly and

fresh grab, and it was a tug or war,

least resistance. He was game, how

Good Fruit
Always Salable

There never is a time when good
fruit is not salable. AS soon as the
market becomes glutted, the fruit that
is thrown out is the lowest grade. The
intermediate grades also suffer, but
the high quality fruit always has buy.
ers. That is because up to the pres.
ent time much of the fruit on the mar
ket is medium and poor, while the
really good fruit is only small pei
cent of the total. 1t is entirely prob.
able that IL all the fruit on the mar
ket were Of high quality the general
tendency of this high-class fruit would
be downward; but there is no posi-
bility of all or half of the fruit on the
market being of this quality. There
fore the raiser of fruit can always be
sure that he will have a salable ar.
ticle if he will produce high quality
fruit.
There is another factor that oper
ates in the case of a great deal of
good fruit being marketed and that is
the factor of stimulation of the mar.
ket. 1t is certain that much less fruit
is bought now than would be bought
if the fruit were uniformly good. PEG.
pie go to market and purchase what
they think is good fruit and when get
ting it home find it to be very poor
fruit, and much of it is dishonesty
packed. This poor fruit is sold by
the facing on the basket, barrel OF
box. There are two things the grow
ers of fruit should do, put good fruit
on the market and have their poor
fruit sold in lot by itself. Selling il
under the guise of first-class fruit re
suits in discouraging the buyers. Poor
fruit is wanted as well as good fruit
and il sold at its real value it serves
the uses of the buyers.

TAKE RoGUEs' FINGER PRINTS.
Rertillon System Extended to Include
New Device.

The measurements invented by NJ.
Bertillon for the identification of Grim
inals have been extended by the sys-
TEN of finger-mark Identification,
which is based on the Bertillon con-
tention that the lines on the skin of
the finger tip do not alter, says the
New York World. If the skin be-
comes worn away the lines will repeat
themselves. This method of recogni-
ton is used in England, in Cairo,
Dresden, Vienna and Buenos Ayres.
1t is simpler than the older method
of bodily measurements. A metal
plate is covered with a liquid black
pigment and the finger tip is pressed
on to it. The finger marks are mag
nified and the lines counted. Then
the compartments are examined and
if card is found with the same marks
the identity of the person is settled.
Any ordinary policeman can take the
impression.
