How Diamonds are Cut.

So far, Europe has been the center
of the diamond-cutting industry. In
Amsterdam there are more than $4,000
cutters, in Antwerp 5000, in the Jura
Mountain district 600, in Paris 200
divided into three classes, cleavers,
shapers and polishers. The cleaver
examines the rough diamond, and if
he finds 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 mold to which
it is securely attached with aluminium,
and then applied to the cutting tool

While Appointments Are Political,

James S. Henry.

According to the old saw cit takes
nine tailors to make 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

statesmen. It is place only one re-
move from that to which all native

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 cleayer furnishes
work for so or 60 shapers, would
quickly work himself out of a job.
Consequently, he prefers to 60 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 a 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 a 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

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.

! met officer. Each one has adopted
his own method of Cabinet consulta-
ton. President Roosevelt might be
said to have a Cabinet Of specialists.
He has selected men whom he believed
peculiarly fitted to administer the af-
| fairs of the different departments. At
| the bi-weekly Cabinet meetings, which
are held when the President is in his
executive Office in Washington, each
Cabinet officer presents short re-
sumo of the condition Of his depart
ment. If there is any matter that has
arisen under his jurisdiction that is of
widespread, general character it is
reserved for discussion by himself and
the President, and perhaps one or two
other members of the Cabinet who re-
main after the formal meeting. Great
questions of national and international
policy are not matters of general dis
cussion in Mr.. Roosevelt's Cabinet.
They are taken up and debated by the
President and those Cabinet officers
whom he believes are specially quail
fed to give expert opinion upon them.
The late President Mckinley had an
entirely different method and the
meetings of his Cabinet were actual
state councils. Every matter affecting
the nation at large or bearing upon our
international relations was brought up
at these meetings and each one of the
Presidents advisors was requested to
submit his opinion. The Secretary of
Agriculture was asked for his views
on the advance on Pekin, while the
opinion of the Secretary of State on
the type of battleships to be adopted
by the Navy was welcomed. Mr.. Nc
Kinley believed in this way that he Sc
cured the best results and it also gave
his cabinet officers an opportunity to
exhibit whatever of talent or genius
of craftsmanship they possessed

ary. inconspicuous package through
the registered mail, postage two sh1ll-
| ings. It is not impossible that the
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 a half million dollars.
Two more large diamonds have since
been found in the same mine, one
weighing 334 carats and the other 46O
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 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 the d1a-
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, ZOO remaining in the latter case,
still further deduction must be made
for the expense of preparing the
stones. The figures obtained on a
100000 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.

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 it's 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 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 &C.
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
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.
In the economy of Government and
in the social life at the nations Cap
ital, an American Cabinet officer &C.
cupies a commanding position, but in
the accomplishment of great deeds Of
craftsmanship and as a power in fash
joining 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 G. Calhoun and James
G.. Blaine, as ministers of state, in
greater than that of many Presidents
of the United States. 1t is not neces-
sary to refer to musty history for ex-
amples of Cabinet ministers who have
won international fame. The late John

Sherman's Earlier Fame.
Going back a 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-
ing army officers. The 100 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 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, 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 craftsmanship of the
strong men they had chosen for their
Cabinet.

these, however, are among people who

something like 100 cases the disease
was contracted in this country.
For Federal Supervision.
Senator W. M. 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 1eper 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
ly in the next session. 1t will be in
troduced in a somewhat different man
ner from the old one. 1t will provide
for a ..sLepers Home" instead of
"LeproSarium", as this latter term
conveyed the impression that the dis
ease was more prevalent in the Unit
ed States than it really is.
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 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,
