Women Cannot Cut Diamonds.

"A lot of women seem to be possessed these days of an ambition to learn the trade of diamond cutting" the. New York Sun reports one jeweler as say ing. Every little while an applicant for situation as an apprentice gives us call. But we can't afford to give them a trial. They can never master the art. In other branches of the jew elry trade women have made some un- qualified successes. Not one of Eyes daughters, from royalty down, I should say, that isn't an artist in the wearing of diamonds. Many are we'll versed in the tricks of buying and selling them, while others give excellent satisfaction In polishing and preparing them for the market But when it comes to the real cutting of the stones they lack the patience, judgment and steadiness of nerve which constitute the experts stock in trade"

The December term of the superior

The December term of the superior court will open in Rockville Friday with & short calendar. The clerk of the court will be ordered to summon a grand jury to find 8 bill against Charles H. Bishop, charged with murder. The court will probably order an extra large panel of petit jurors summoned. There are several state cases on the docket in addition to the murder case. They include the state against Billings of Somers, the state against Andy White and Jeanette Wyman of Andover, who are charged with selling liquor without a license; the state against LaBreque, the state against Fred J. Aldrich. charged with assault. The first week of the courts time will probably be occupied with these cases, so that the trial of Bishop will not be begun be- fore the second week. The trial will probably last three weeks. Judge Robinson, who will preside, also tried the case against Frank Sherrie for the Somersville murder.

A LaEy Poet.

Laziness does not always confer the long life claimed for it by Dr. Herbert Snow. Of proverbial laziness was Thomson, the poet, drowsing away the greater part of his life in his garden at Richmond, listening to nightingales, writing the interminable poems that everybody now admires and nobody reads. There he could often be seen standing eating the peaches off the trees, with his hands in his pockets" Such an instance of incidence would be hard to beat and should, one would think, have added at least ten years to his life. But Thomson died at forty eight--London Chronicle.

Dean Swift on Spelling.

Dean Swift roundly denounced the poets of his day who had introduced the 'barbarous custom of abbreviating words to fit them to the measure of theirverses." Swift instances "drudg'd" and "disturb'd" as mortal offenses
 The custom so introduced had begun to dominate prose. Another cause-bor- rowed. Swift suggested. froIR the clip ping process-which he held had con- tributed to the maiming of the Ian guage. lis a foolish opinion advanced of late years that we ought to spell ex- actly as we speak: which, besides the obvious inconvenience of utterly de- stroying our etymology, would be a thing we should never see the end of"

Classical and Romantic Music.

Classical composers are those of the first rank who have developed music to the highest pitch of perfection on it's formal side, and, In obedience to gen. erally accepted laws, preferring aesthet- ic beauty, pure and simple, over emo donal content, refusing to sacrifice form to characteristic expression. Ro- mantle composers are those who have sought their ideals in other regions and striven to give expression to them, ir- respective of the restrictions and limi- tations of form and the conventions of law-composers with whom, in brief. content outweighs manner.

Mamma had not noticed the clock striking during all of the afternoon and, thinking perhaps it had stopped, she asked little Rita to go into the hall and see if 1t was running. After a nasty survey of the long pendulum swinging back and forth, Rita ran back and announced: ''Why, no, mamma, it isn't running. It's standing still and wagging its tail."-Harper's Weekly.

SAVED uY LIFE

That's what a prominent druggist said of Scott's Emulsion a short time ago. As a rule we don't use or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, but the above remark and S i'm lar expressions are made so often in connec- tion with Scott's Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying inn proper and weak develop ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scott's Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emu1- sion itself. What it does it does through nourish- ment-the kind of nourish- ment that cannot be ob- tained in ordinary food. No system is too weak or delicate to retain Scott's Emulsion and gather good from it.

RIGBY REDUCTION WORKS
 STARTS PRODUCTION.
4 NEW PROCESS OF TREATING SIlicIouS ORES IS BEING
 TESTED IN YAVAPAI CO.

Yavapai county Thursday made an other entry on her prosperity diary when the plant of the Rigby Reduc- tion works was started for fegular operation. For several days past the machinery has been running in an experimental sort of a way, but it was planned to start Thursday for a regular run. R. D. Mead and l.. s. Nicely of Mannington, West Virginia, and Edwin c. Fink of Cleveland, di- rectors in the company, arrived in Prescott Wednesday and expected 10 go to Mayer Thursday to witness the starting of the new plant.
 If the plant operates successfully, as there is reason to believe it will, it will mean great deal to that county and 10 the territory at large for it will add to the production of the county the output of about 250 tons of ore per day, and that means a good deal both in the way, of employment of men and in converting AriZona's na- tural resources into coin.
 Particular interest attaches to this plant by reason of the fact that it is the exploiting of a new process for the reduction of silicious ores. 1t is yolatilizing process which, it Is said, has been successfully demonstrated elsewhere though it is yet new in the smelting world. Col. T. Johns Risby. the moving spirit in the project, first looked over Yavapai county about i've years ago and convinced himself that the character of large part of the ore in the section contiguous to Mayer was such that it is well fitted for reduction by this process. From that time to the present he has been busily engaged in the construction of the plant, and though there have been numerous delays it is finally ready for actual, and it is sincerely hoped, sue cessful operation.
