Diamond Cutters and Their Work.

Diamond Cutters ana heir WORK.
Not only is diamond cutting not a
specially highly paid occupation, but 1t
is one involving a most humiiating
system Of espionage to the worker.
Each man has to strictly account for
the stones he receives on going to
work in the morning, and the count
hasto be carefully taken when the IN
finished work is handed in at night to
be locked up in a safe against the re-
turn Of the wcrkmen the next day.
The possibilities Of theft are great
though a dishonest workman knows
that an attempt to dispose Of an unfn-
ished stone would bring suspicion upon
him wherever the attempt was made.

THE BEES STING.
An Ugly Weapon Something Like
Three Slaeed Sword.


Three 8laded Sword.
The bees sting is made up Of three
separate lanceS, each with a barbed
edge and each capable Of being thrust
forward independently of the others.
The central and broader lance has 4
hollow face furnished at each side
with rail or beading. which runs its
whole length. On the back Of each Of
the other two iances there is longi-
tudinal groove, and into these grooves
fit the raised headings Of the central
lancet
Thus the sting is like q sword with
three blades-united. but sliding upon
one another-the barbed points OF
which continue to advance alternately
into the wound, going ever deeper and
deeper Of their own malice afore-.

made. It is a device Of war conl-

but clumsy brutality. Yet this is not

Judc:nd a Melon.

Is there any way for q purchaser to
tell I good melon without cutting and
testing it? That is exactly what an
expert melon grader is expected to do,
to judge the favor Of the melon as
we'll rs the size. The best external in
dication in i netted Gem and melons
Of similar type is 1 golden greenisIi
color the melon being deeply ribbed
and thickly overlaid with rather coarse
gray netting. the edges Of which rise
pernendicularly from the surface. The
melon should be heavy. There should
be no ragged or broken stem to indi-
cate that the melon was torn from the
vine before it was ripe enough to part
freely. If one follows these points he
is pretty snre to get the perfection Of
melon produced by the quality Of the
seed planted. If the seed has come
from tasteleSs melon the result will

TYPHOID IN GEORGETOWN
SPREAD OF DISEASE CONTINUES
TO BE ALARMING.
Health officials Conduct Careful In
vestigation-Milk Supply Of Two
Dealers Receives Attention.

The spread Of typhoid fever in George
town continues to be alarming. and the
health department officials are working
overtime in an effort to run down the
origin of the twenty-six cases which have
been reported from the West End since
Thursday. the Sth instant.
Following an investigation by Health
Oh1cer Woodward and DR.. L. L. Lums-
den OF the public health and marine hos
pital service 1t was discovered that a
majority of the cases were of persons
who received their milk from two deal
ers. who In turn had secured their milk
supply from a certain farm. After the
two physicians had visited the farm in
question and made a thorough inspection
Of the place and found nothing to indi-
cate that the place was infected with
typhoid germs, they decided that the dis
ease had started from some other source.
Another Customer Has Disease.
A report received yesterday, however,
that another customer Of one of the deal
ers had contracted the disease has prac-
tically convinced the health officers that
the typhoid fever germ has headquarters
somewhere about the farm in question.
To further strengthen the evidence 1t
Is learned that two women visited the
farm this fall and remained there some
time. and II is the opinion of the officials
that they were possibly bacillus carriers
1t is stated that. although the persons
in question possibly have not had the
disease, they may have been in the
neighborhood of II. and when they ar
rived at the farm some of the germs
were spread about the place and thus
infected the milk. The health officers
are now looking for the two women. and
will make an investigation of their move
ments before their arrival at the farm. .
