one Of the richest and most exclusive
trades, that of diamond cutting, is now
confined. SO far as Europe is concerned
which means nearly all the world-to
the two towns of Amsterdam and Ant
werp and. according 10 the foreign Of
fee. the diamond trade of Antwerp
equals, if it does not surpass, that of
its great rival.
Diamond cutting is divided into three
separate end distinct processes, which
may be classed. under the following
heads: First, cleaving; secondly. the
giving of a rough formation TO the dia-
mond called 'brutage'O, and. thirdly,
cutting and polishing. The process of
cleayilg is the act of dividing the lay
ers or scales which form the crystal.
This operation can only be performed
in one manner, which it is impossible
to yary on account of the faky forma-
ton of the diamond. The stones have
TO be divided i'm accordance with the
running grain of the carbon Of which
they are composed. 'Brutage" is per-
formed by mechanically rubbing one
stone against another until the desired
formation is achieved. Polishing is

Frau Geily exercised the curious call

Over these she had r marvellous COM

organs under the action OF the sur

doctors of Vienna, usually carrying

in Which They Were Held.

fhe Father of His Country by those VINO
admired him, and the Stepfather of his
Country bv those who did not. IN
TNrance he was STYLED the American Fa-
hius because of his caution in military
movements. The term Cincinnatus OF
the West. first used by Lord Byron III
his ode TO Napoleon, obtained VIDE cur
rency in America. The British soldiers
called him Lovely Georgius. The name
Oeiiverer of America, almost as popular
as Cincinn2 JUS Of the West, was urst
used by Alheri, the Italian poet, IN an
introduction to play which he dedl.

alIusion TO the fact that after IL had
been discarded by nearly every one else
he stiI wore the headgear Of the reVO-

known as the Old BMan Eloquent until
after his speeches in congress had es-
tabiished his claim TO the title, which
was borrowed by a classical student
from an anusiOn in Milton.
Andrew Jackson's most common nick
name was Old Hickory, bestowed on
him by the soldiers he commanded

the army and thence its use spread
among the people. The Indians of the

tacle, with the side OF the diamond
which il is desired to cut facing down
ward. over this receptacle is fixed
shaped mold, which is securely attached
to il. Into the top of this mold is then
poured liquid aluminium. which runs
into the shape of the mold. and, after
being cooled, securely holds the dia
mond in the required position. The
mold is then removed and the stone
remains fixed in the aluminium, ready
TO be applied 10 the cutting tool.
The machine used (the invention of a

which rotates at a high rate OF speed
and is driven in the ordinary way by a
leather belt from the running machine
ny. The saw itself is made OF fairly
soft copper, with prepared edge. 1t
is of vital Importance when the Oper-
alton of cleaving is taking place that
the saw should run perfectly smoothly
and not deviate from its true course.
In order to prepare the cutting edge
of the circular saw it is necessary for
it TO go through a special process by
which diamond dust mingled with oil
is forced into it's edge. IT will there
fore be seen that in the actual cutting
the principle is that OF diamond cut
diamond" The operation of cleaving
a diamond frequently takes as much as
two weeks continual work to perform.
The diamonds are frequently cut into
several layers hardly thicker than a
stout sheet OF paper. For the rough
formation of ''brutage," before the final
cutting, a machine was invented some
20 years ago, which is now used in all
diamond factories, since it not only
greatly economies hand labor, but also
saves the diamond dust required for
polishing. Two diamonds of similar
size and hardness are taken, and each
is fitted into a metal cap with melted
cement.
One cap is fixed on a rotary machine
apparently a lathe) and the other at
tached TO a handle to be used as the
tool is used against wood in a lathe.
The stone which rOtates in the machine
receives a regular rounded surface. and
when it is in its required shape the
other stone is fitted into the machine
and the process continues. The dia-
mOnd dust, which is produced by the
rubbing Of the stones together. falls
into a copper box called an egrisoir or
diamond dust box, and is carefully
preserved for the third operation.
For the cutting and polishing process
the stone, which has been roughly
shaped by the second operation, is
placed in a position at the required
angle in a copper holder, into which
it is firmly fixed by means of a fOrked
clamp, which is pressed against the
stone and locked into position with a
key. Great skill is required on the
part of the workrnen in fixing the dia-
mond into the holder, as will be under
stood when it is stated that many
stones of one-eighth of an inch and less
in diameter, weighing between one and
two grains, have as many as so to 100
facets, or separate cut faces, each at a
different apgle..

miniature log cabins were built, placed
on wagons and hauled from one meet

strengthened by whisky, became the
campaign drink.

of small cakes which are purchased by
the people during festivals or holt
days. The usual form is a small bun
coated with sugar. The business is
not controlled by large bakeries like
those we have in America, but is in the
hands of individuals who make up a
tray OF cakes and peddle them on the
streets. During the boycott a sub
stitute of rice cakes was introduced to
take the place of those made of Amer
