Sherman's Earlier Fame.
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 Wal 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 h~eartbreaking experiences
with traitors, politicians and self-seek-
ing army officers. The 1870 years Of
national life of the United States fur
nished many brilliant examples of
what a 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 a 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 or
great national and international issues.
In the administration of Grant, Cleve-
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.
Different Treatment of Cabinets.
Each President has had his own
conception of the functions Of a Cab

and paid for at advertising rates by
the owners or underwriters to divert

at -four million and insured for two
and a half million dollars.
Two more large diamonds have since
been found in the same mine, one
weighing 1874 carats and the other AGO
carats. One wonders who car 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 mi or the
biggest South African diamond kings
has said that the margin of profit up
on which the entire diamond industry
is carried on is 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 b 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
$3.50, 700 remaining in the latter case.
still further deduction must be made
for the expense Of preparing the
stones. The figures obtained on a
$1,000 necklace in a Paris shop indi-
Gated that the diamonds composing it
were valued at much less than $4,000
when rough. The woman who buys
such an ornament contributes more to
the actual prosperity of the working
class than many of the so-called
social reformers who rave at her ex-
travagance.

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 acquaintance whom he would
like to have around him as counsellors
and whom he believes would make ef-
fcient 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 &C

composition of his Cabinet inquiries

and character of the men whom he will

1t often happens that the first time he

Premier mine, Johannesburg, in jan

the two agents from South Africa, the
black bag carried by the older and
said to contain the biggest diamond in
the world, the crowd at the docks, the
detectives sent from Scotland Yard,

the Cullinan made the trip from
Johannesburg to London in an ordln.

continued effort of rubbing the dia-
monds against each other brought on
a 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 a day.
The polisher who makes the facets,
uses a machine which carries a metal
disc placed horizontally add revolving
at the rate of $500 revolutions per
minute. The disc is of steel with a
preparation of diamond dust and puri-
fed olive oil rubbed into the surface.

LEPERS IN

"Unclean, %unclean." This is a cry
which has struck terror to the hearts
of many people who have ~journeyed
through the orient and our Asiatic
and Pacific possessions, but it has
probably never occurred to them, that
in the United States proper there are
nearly 300 lepers. These are scatter

For Federal Supervision.
Senator W. NJ. Crane, who succeed
ed the late Senator Hoar, at the last
session of Congress introduced a bill
providing for government supervision.
1t was passed by the Senate, but
when it came up for consideration
at the hands of the Representatives,
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, a plan TO foist the
'unclean" upon New Mexico, as there
are several abandoned reservations in
that territory.
The bill failed to pass the House.
1t Is believed that Senator Crane pro-
poses to again introduce this bill ear-
" in the next session. 1t will be in
troduced in a somewhat different man.

"L.eprosarium", as this latter term
conveyed the impression that the dis
ease was more prevalent in the Unit

To Search For Cure.
Leprosy was regarded by the Israel
ties as incurable. In fact the records
Of ancient times show the great fear
in which 1t has always been held.
Medical science has learned little or
nothing regarding leprosy. One of
the strongest arguments for the care
of the "unclean" is, that such an instr
tuition would make possible a careful
study of the disease and, perhaps, in
time result in the discovery of a
cure. There is a government institu-
ton for the care of lepers in Hawaii,

How Diamonds are Cut.

So far. Europe has been the center
of the dia~mond-cutting industry. In
Amsterdam there are more than $4,000
cutters, In Antwerp 5000, in the Jura
Mountain district 600, in Paris 200
and in London only 80. They are
divided into three classes, ~cleavers,
shapers and polishers. The cleaver
examines the rough diamond, and If
he finds a flaw cuts it into as many
perfect gems as the grain of the car
bon will permit. For this purpose the
rough stone is set In a mold to which
