embittered and disappointed back into
private life.
May Not be Personal Friends.
While the President of the United
States is entitled to choose the nine
gentlemen who shall sit about his
council table as his Cabinet advisors,
the political system in effect in the
United States often robs this selection
of its personal character A newly
elected President may know of nine
men in his circle of business, social and
political acquaintances whom he would
like to have around him as counsellors
and whom he believes would make eff
ficient heads of departments in the
administration of Government laws
and business. The exigencies of poll
tics, however, usually compel him to
choose his Cabinet officers from differ
ent sections of the country and in ac-
knowledgement of certain potent influ-
ences, sometimes commercial, some
times economic, sometimes religious,
and often purely political that helped
make his election sure. The Chief
Executive before deciding upon the
composition of his Cabinet inquiries
carefully into the qualifications, ability
and character of the men whom he will
invite to sit at his council table. but
it often happens that the first time he
has come in personal contact with his
future advisor is when he meets him
to extend the invitation to him to en-
ter the Cabinet.
In the economy of Government and
in the social life at the nations Cap
ital, an American Cabinet officer oc-
cupies commanding position, but in
the accomplishment of great deeds of
craftsmanship and as a power in fash
ioning the policies of the nation, the
Cabinet minister's own personality, his
ability and genius can alone make
success. There are conspicuous ex-
amples in the history of the United
States where Cabinet ministers have
dominated the Executive and carved
their names higher on the pillar Of
fame than the Presidents with whom
they served. The impress made on
national affairs by such men as Daniel
Webster, John c. Calhoun and James
G. Blaine, as ministers of state, ia
greater than that of many Presidents
of the United States. 1t is not neces-
sary to refer to musty history for ex-
anples of Cabinet ministers who have
won international fame. The late John

To Remove a Tight Ring.

A very simple way of removing a
very tight ring from the finger is to
take piece. of small cord or wrapping
thread and push one end of it under
the ring. Then, taking hold of the
other end of the string, begin winding
around the finger from close up against
the ring to the very tip of the finger
Then, to remove the ring, take hold
of the end of the cord that was slipped
under the ring and unwind the cord
AS the unwinding progresses the ring
will be carried along with it and re-
moved without difficulty.

the two agents from South Africa, the
black bag carried by the older and

While Appointments Are Political,
the Cabinet is Usually the Presi-

James S. Henry.

According to the old saw "it takes
nine tailorS to make a man." so in the
Government of the United States it
takes nine Cabinet officers to make
an administration. Primarily Ameri-
can cabinet officers are selected to be-
come the heads of the nine great ex-
ecutive departments of the Govern
ment AS one star differeth from an
other star in glory so one cabinet Off
Ger differs from another in opportun-
ity, ability and the power to make a
lasting impression upon the history of
the country. These nine heads of de-
partments are chosen by the Presi-
dent and although the approval of the
Senate of the United States is required
to make their appointment legal and
constitutional, the preference of the
Executive is invariably respected and
the nine Cabinet officers represent his
personal choice. so far as politics
leaves him free agent.
To be a member of the Presidents
Cabinet has filled the ambition of many
statesmen. 1t is a place only one re-

velt, seems yet living actual per-
Sonality in the affairs of the world. If
no other monument had been establish
ed by his long public service, the open

Sherman's Earlier Fame.
Going back little further we find
the late John Sherman standing as
the monument of sound finance and
marking the otherwise colorless Hayes
administration from 1877 to 1881 as an
epoch in the financial history of the
country. In the days of the Civil War,
Stanton, at the head of the War De-
partment, earned the name of being
the greatest Secretary of War the
United States ever had and was the
mainstay of the immortal Lincoln in
the latter's heartbreaking experiences
with traitors, politicians and self-seek-
national,life of the United States fur
nished many brilliant examples of
what Cabinet officer can accomplish
and the influential part he can play in
the achievements of an administration.
1t depends largely upon the Presi-
dent of the United States to what ex-
tent Cabinet officer may achieve
prominence in national affairs. Dur
ing the last generation most of the
Presidents of the United States have
been men of iron will and command
ing personality. Most of them, how
ever, have depended upon members of
their Cabinet for expert advice on
great national and international issues
In the administration of Grant, Cleye-
land, Harrison, Mckinley and Roose-
welt certain of their ministers were
pre-eminent in the direction of affairs
of state and domestic policies. These
Presidents were and are strong men,
but ever ready to listen to the advice
and appreciate the statemanship of the
strong men they had chosen for their
Cabinet.

rcontinued effort of rubbing the dia-
monds against each other brought on
a nervous jerking of the forearms,
and the strained attitude of the head,
always bent forward to watch the
shaping of the gems, caused great
swellings at the back of the neck
Usually the ''bruteur" spends three
days on the shaping of a stone and
makes from $2.40 to $500 day.

Southampton romance was conceived
and paid for at advertising rates by
the owners or underwriters to divert
attention, for the diamond was valued
at four million and insured for two
and half million dollars.
Two more large diamonds have since
been found in the same mine, one
weighing 334 carats and the other 460
carats. One wonders who can afford
to buy these stones. 1t will cost enOr
mously to put them on the market.
Most diamonds are sold outright by
the miner to the cutter, and one of the
biggest South African diamond kings
has said that the margin of profit up
on which the entire diamond industry
is carried on ic but little larger than
the percentage of gain in any other
line of business.
The jewellers of Paris claim that in
proportion as the value of the dia-
monds in a necklace decreases, so does
the cost of setting increase. A dia-
mond necklace that sells for $4,000
has cost the jeweller 5000 in mount
ing, while one that sells for 100000
will require an expenditure of only
$500 in the mounting. From, the
$199,70O remaining in the latter case,
still further deduction must be made
for the expense of preparing the
stones. The figures obtained on a

How Diamonds are Cut.

So far, Europe has been the center
of the diamond-cutting industry. In
Amsterdam there are more than $1,000
cutters, in Antwerp 5000, in the Jura
Mountain district 600, in Paris 200
and in London only $50. They are
divided into three classes, cleavers,
shapers and polishers. The cleaver
examines the rough diamond, and if
he finds a flaw cuts i into as many
perfect gems as the grain of the car
bon will permit. For this purpose the
rough stone is set in 2 mold to which
it is securely attached with aluminium,

Delegate Rodey of New Mexico,
smarting under the sting left by the
failure of his statehood plans, charged
that the provision in this bill which
planned to locate a leper colony on
some abandoned military reservation
was, in fact, plan to foist the
'unclean" upon New Mexico, as there
are several abandoned reservations in
that territory.
The bill failed to pass the House
