An American family who had expe-
rienced the difficulty of obtaining and
retaining the services of reliable
kitchen girl while on a visit to Ireland
became acquainted with promising
young girl and brought her back home
with them.
In a few weeks she was installed In
her new home and made acquainted
with her new duties. Among other
things she was told that 1t was Gus
tomary when breakfast was ready to
be served to ring the breakfast bell.
Her "all right, num-" came In such
confident tone that her mistress gave
the matter no further thought.
The following morning at 6 o'clock
the family were rudely awakened by
the violent ringing of the front door
bell. Thinking that messenger must
be waiting with some unusual mes
sage, the gentleman of the house did
not stop to dress, but hurried down in
his night robe and opened the door.

liamond Cutting.

1t is said that before the fourteenth
century no one knew how to cut and
polish diamonds. They were esteemed
for their marvellous hardness, but not
greatly admired for beauty. There Is
a tradition that journeyman jeweler
In Flanders, Louis Van Berghem, dis
covered the art of cutting diamond
with diamond. But it is probable that
) he only made some notable advance In
the art since associations of diamond
cutters had existed in France and
Flanders from the fourteenth century.
Louis Van Berghem's most famous
achievement was the cutting and pol
ishing Of huge diamond belonging to
Charles the Bold. Charles was so de-
lighted with the result that he reward
ed the artist literally and declared
that the diamond would now serve him
for a bedroom lamp. This jewel
which was found on Charles body aft

COMPOUND EYES.
Insects That Can See Thousands Of
WAYS at Once.


We can see the single eyes of some
insects without lens, as in the locust.
In viewing the house fly we need a
lens. The big, visible, buging eyes we
see are composed of thousands of unit,
cone shaped eyes bound into one COM
pound eye, each of more or less spher-
ical shape. Under lens they look like
glass eyed pavement bent to convexi-
ty. Their faceted corneae are various
ly set in square, heXagonal or prismat-
ic frames. Each glistening facet is the
corneac lens of distinct self working

eye is enormous.

The Stick For Wives.

In the old Anglo-Norman marriage
ceremony the gentlewoman used to
promise her husband to be buxom
unto my gentil manne." The word
buxom corresponds to the modern Ger
man biegsam, meaning bending or pill
ant, and the old English was "busk-

things must have been very pleasantly
