prAn s1nNs OF THU TINES.

READ SIGNS OF THH TIMES.
sOne by one the bosses go. Some nave
been thrown or kicked out. others nave
been more gently but none the less hrrniy
relegated to oblivion. Some, a few, nave
read the signs OF the times correctly ana
have abdicated their seats OF past power
OF this last class is Gen. Charles r.. Bray
ton. for a generation the Republican boss
OF Rhode island, who has resigned from
the executive committee OF the Repuph-
can state central committee.
Although Brayton says that he retires
not because OF any doubt OF the contihueu
supremacy OF the Republican party In ths
state and gives as the reason FOR MS ac-
tion the belief that the active manage
ment OF the party can be the better In
trusted to its many able and younger
members" there cannot be much DOUBT
that his abdication Is attributable TO tne
mart which the people OF Rhode isiahu
have begtin 10 play in the general anu
boss movement which has been sweeping
over the country in the last few years
one Is perrnitted to think what one
r,oases about the extent to which Rhode
islands politics will be purified by the
elimination OF Brayton. II cannot, now
ever. make very much difference whether
or not a new boss arises. IL is very
aoubtful IL he can ever WELD the power
which Brayton so long exercised. Inc
ueople OF Rhode 1slano. IKE the peopio

CAUSE SUFFICIENT.
There will be few even among Rhode
island Republicans To mourn the retire
ment from politics of Boss Brayton, long
mo ngurehead for the financial interests
that really rule the state. Decent Rhode
islanders have for years been restive -
der Brayton's heavy fist. OF late legis-
lators who meekly obeyed him have re-
sented his abusive manner, so different
from the blunt good humor OF his oehav-
ior I'm former days, and the finishing blow
was struck when Gov. Higgins plainly
told the peopie OF the state that Brayton
was a nuisance and world ~ To get
out of the public offices Rhode Island is
n few inches further toward real self
government by Brayton's retirement.
When will the state really rise and throw

MAKES REAL DIAMONDS.
Partisan Chemist counterfeits in the
CrucibIe Natures Processes.

When the De Beers mines in South
Africa are misunderstanding to
the management, in about eleven
years-and other sources of natural
diamonds are also used up, diamond
lovers will still be able to indulge
in the purchase of real gems artificial
Iy produced. These have nothing in
common with the familiar artificial
diamonds. They are produced by a
mechanical process which ~reproduces
as nearly as possible the conditions
under which diamonds are c~rystallized
in the bowels of the earth.
Prof. Moissan, the eminent Paris
chemist, has been explaining his meth
cd of making real diamonds in his
laboratory. He takes absolutely pure
iron, freed from sulphur, silicon and
phosphorus and packs it in a carbon
crucible with pure charcoal obtained
from sugar. This is heated in an cleo
trio furnace, the invention of which
alone make possible the production of
The pure gem.
The furnace heats the crucible
above 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, at
which temperature the iron melts like
wax and s~aturates itself into the a r
Don The crucible is then lifted out
and plunged into cold water. The
sudden cooling solidifies the outer
skin, while the iron in the centre is
still liquid.
The process of qualification exerts
a tremendous measure on this central
mass and the result is that the carbon
which was soaked up by the molten
iron is squeezed out again like water
from a sponge and crystalizes into
diamonds.

Look them over, removing any par
ticles of grit or dirt; wash and set
away to soak over night, or for fiji
teen hours. Put in plenty of water
as they will soak up their own weight.
On rising the morning following put
the beans in a pot with plenty OF
water and set on the back part OF
the stove to simmer for about four
hours, or until preparing for dinner,
adding a little salt and hot water as
required. When preparing for dinner
transfer the beans to a crock or bak-
ing vessel. Pour over them three
tablespoonful of New Orleans mol
asses and the same of white sugar,
stirring in a little. Take a piece of
pork, or salt or smoked bacon about
four fingers square, cut and set in
the center of the crock with the XII
side up just even with the top of the
beans. Set the crock in the stove and
allow the beans to bake slowly for
two hours adding sufficient hot water
to keep them with plenty of moisture
until they are brown on top and the
meat is thoroughly done. Serve in the
crock hot or cold. A weeks supply
may be cooked at one time as there
is nothing more nutritious for. cold
