ture Of oil and diamond dust rubbed
into the edge. The saw rotates at a
tremendous speed, being turned by a
leather belt running from an engine.
An expert cleaver, if paid so much per
diamond cut could make from $50 to
$50, and as one cleaver furnishes
work for so or 60 shapers, would
quickly work himself out of job.
Consequently, he prefers to go slowly
and receive monthly wage Of $120.
The shapers or "bruteurs" outline
the form in which the diamond will
ultimately appear. In this operation,
the "bruteur'' takes two stones of sim.
liar size and hardness, fits each into
a metal cap, sets one in machine
that resembles carpenters lathe, and
as it revolves the second stone is
pressed against it. The dust caused
by the friction is caught in tiny box.
Before the invention Of this machine,
the "bruteur'' held the diamonds be-
tween the thumb and forefnger of
each hand and rested the little fingers
on the sides of the tank, which is
made Of brass. In time the constant
pressure on the brass wore the sides
of the box into grooves, while the

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-
knowIedgement of certain potent inf1u-
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
1t 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.

To Remove 8 Tlght Ring.

A very simple way Of removing q
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.

For Federal Supervision.
Senator W. M. Crane, who succeed

that the provision in this bill which
planned to locate a leper colony on
some abandoned military reservation

that territory.
The bill failed to pass the House.

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 it 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 instf-
tuition would make possible careful
study Of the disease and, perhaps, in
time result in the discovery of a
cure There is a government institu-

a nervous jerking of the forearms,
and the strained attitude Of the head,
always bent forward to watch the

Usually the ''bruteur" spends three

ON TO RICHMOND.
Auditor TompkinS Hears the Cry of the
Union Soldiers Once More.

To THE EDITOR: The cry of the
North during all the sad days,
weeks and months from 1862 to 1866
came to my mind so forcibly, as
Mrs. Tompkins and myself were
speeding on our way to the capital
of the Old Dominion and once CAPT
tai Of the Confederacy, that I have
used the phrase as the title of this
article, if such it may be called.
Not that this was my first visit to
Richmond, for | have been to that
city several times during the past
winter, but only on business, or
passing through en- route to some
other point. But this time we were
going to the old city. which was
founded by Col. VILLAIN Byrd in
1877, one-hundred and sixty-eight
years ago, to stay until we had seen
all the points of interest, including
some of the famous battlefelds Of
the wah, or were tired of sight
seeing, when we would go on to the
coast for a rest, and return later to
see again
The James river division of the
G. & o. Ry., over which we trav-
eled, is unquestionably the most
beautiful scenic route leading into
Richmond. Specially is this true
at this season of the year when ma
ture is at her lest. The fields are

green and the woods are a great
flower garden where shrubs abound
and every shrub is covered with
beautiful blossoms, the fragrance OF
which fills the air. This road fol-
lows the James river all the way
from the mountains to the capital
city, winding along for miles on
the very brink of that historic
stream, and never leaving the val
ley, which is from one to five miles
broad, almost as level as floor and
very fertile, owing to the fact that
the river overfows it's banks sew
eral times nearly every spring and
each time it leaves a deposit of
perhaps an inch of rich, new soil.
Islands occur frequently in the val
ley of the James, some of them sew
eral miles long and containing many
thousand acres of land, all of which
is very valuable because of it's fer
tllity. The river is not navigable
above Richmond, being full of rocks,
consequent rapids and very swift
current, but there are very few
bridges across it, the old ferry
boats plying back and forth across
it as in early days.
We reached the city at six O clock
in the evening and were soon COM
fortably quartered at the Murphy S
hotel, one of the oldest hosteleries
in Richmond. Here it was the
wealthy planters ''put up in the
years when slaves formed the most
valuable personal property in the
state. Here members of the con-
federate congress had their head
quarters, and the same owner and
proprietor looked after the comforts
of the guests then as now, and has
Kept the hotel fully abreast OF the
times both in service and size.
Formerly only about one hundred
guests could be accommodated; now
more than eight times that number
can be taken care of.
Richmond still bears the marks
of the mailed hand of war, but few
cities in the history of the world,
which have been made the objective
points of determined and prolonged
siege, ending in capitulation, have
healed the scars of strife with the
rapidity of this tropical southern
town. When Grant forced Lee to
surrender Richmond was complete
wreck, viewed from every point.
Even the surrounding country was
devastated by war and could not

produce enough for the support Of
the people. It,took years for her
to recover and begin to advance I'M
der the new order of things, but in
the past few years her industry
and trade have been vastly extend
ed, and the leafy ante-bellum town
by the rapids of the James river
has much aside from objects of
purely historic interest to attract
the tention of the passing strang-
err. The city will always be asso-
ciated, however, in the minds of the
public, north and south, with the
stirring events of the Civil war,
when, as the capital of the Confed-
eracy, she was the center of a re-
gion in which SO many of the most
stirring and tragic episodes we're
enacted.
As usual in all cities where there
are many points of historical inter-
est, the laconic guidei is every where
present, ready to tender his valu-
able(?) services az so much per, "
and conduct the traveller to all
places worth seeing, and with a
sweeping gesture of the hand,
which takes in half the horizon,
describe each as: this is the Lee
equestrian statue, and if the sight
seer were to take notice of the
guides gesture he might expect to
see regiment of equestrian statues
charging upon him from all points
of the compass. The guide will
swell up at another place and say,
this is where Libby prison was
located indicating with his hand
any spot between the Appomattox
river and the Shenandoah valley.
Guides and cab drivers were reap
ing a harvest from two delegations
of teachers, one of over two hun
dred from Buffalo, n. Y, and one
of one-hundred and ten from De-
troit, Mich.
Previous experience had taught
me to avoid the company of these
gentlemen. To know what I want
ed to see and to find it myself from
the Information obtainable from the
police, whom we found very courte-
Gus and to be depended upon. Little
guide books may be had for the ask
ing and two dollars expended IN
street car fare will take one to
every point of historical and indus
trial interest.
Among the places which we visit
ed were the capitol square, where
is situated the capitol building
which is now undergoing repairs
and to which two large wings are
being built, not of marble, as in
our own state, but of Virginia brick;
the governor s mansion, state libra
ry, Washington, Clay and several
other monuments. ST. Paul s church
is just across the street on one side
and the city hall on the other. We
spent an afternoon at Holly wood
cemetery, which is very beautiful,
and where the old tomb stones and
tomb of jeff. Davis did not receive
half the attention from US that the
great magnolia trees, holly and
other plants and flowers did. In
this cemetery may be seen the SOL
dier's monument to confederates,
monument to Pickett's division,
tomb of Ex-President Monroe, grave
OF Ex-President Tyler and of John
Randolph of Roanoke. We saw the
Lee statue, place where Libby
prison was located and the house
through which twenty union sol
diers and officers escaped from the
prison. St. John S church, the old
