An American family who had expe--
rienced the difficulty Of obtaining and
retaining the services OF reliable
kitchen girl while ON visit to ireland
became acquainted with a promising
young girl and brought her back home
with them.
q In few weeks she was installed in
her new home and made acquainted
with her new duties. Among other
things she was told that it was Gus
tomary when breakfast was ready to
be served to ring the breakfast bell.
Her "all right mum" came in such q
confid dent tone that her mistress gave
the matter no further thought.
The following morning at s 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.
The new kitchen girl awaited him, her
face beaming with a beautiful smile
Of triumph. Bowling low, she said In
her rich Irish -brogue, breakfast is
ready, sor."-Los Angeles Times.

Diamond Cutting.

It 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 a 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 a 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 bedroom lamp. This jewel,
which was found on Charles body aft
er the battle Of Nancy, is still in ex-
,fstence and celebrated under the name
Of the Sancy diamond Youths Com

Had Been Anticipated.

A London composer was one summer
engaged on the score Of an opera, and
as the weather was very hot he
worked with the windows OF his study
open. This fact was taken advantage
of by his netghbor, a lady, an accom-
plished musician, with a very quick
and retentive ear. to play upon him i
harmless practical joke.
One morning he completed and tried
over new march. and the lady on the
same afternoon seated herself at her
grand piano, opened her windows and
rolled forth the air fortissimo. The
composer rushed distractedly into his

a Curious Mirror That May BE Made
Transparent. 81
One Of the most curious inventions
Of this age Is what is called platinized
glass. "a piece Of glass is coated with
an exceedingly thin layer OF d liquid
charged with platinum and then raised
to q red heat The platinum becomes
united to the glass In such way as
TO form an odd kind OF mirror.
The glass has not really lost its
stranspa arency, and vet IL one places 1t
against q wall and looks at 1t he sees
his image as In an ordinary looking
glass. But when light Ii allowed to
come through the glass from the other
side, as when 1t is placed In a window,
" appears perfectly transparent, like
ordinary glass. 4
BY constructing a window Of plati-
nized glass one could stand close be-
hind the panes In an unillunlinated
room and behold clearly everything
going on outside, while passersby look
ing at the window would behold only
q fine mirror or set OF mirrors IN which
their own figures would be reflected,
while the person inside remained In
visible. ss=
In France various tricks have been
contrived with the aid Of this glass.
IN IN one g person. seeing what appears
sto be an ordinary mirror, approaches
" to gaze upon himself. "a sudden
change in the mechanism sends light
through the glass from the back,
whereupon It instantly becomes trans
parent, and the startled spectator finds
himself confronted by some grotesque
figure that had been hidden behind the
ma gic glass. New York Tribune.

He Gave Them Latin.

Once, before he was president, An
drew Jackson was making political
speech In some obscure campaign ia a
backwoods Tennessee district. His ad-
dress was very wen received, but,
somehow there did not seem to be ex-,
actly the enthusiasm wanted for the
occasion. Having vainly, tried to
warm up, his hearers, the general
was Just going to sit down when the
chairman Of the meeting plucked him
by the coattail. 'sFor the Lords sake,
general, give 'em some Latinl'' he hIIr-
riedly whispered In the speakers ear.
They won't think you know anything
at all If you quit like this. Smith, the
opposition candidate, talked Latin to
'em half the evening"
Old Hickory rose to the situation.
Advancing to the edge of the platform,
he extended his arm and thundered
out: 'sE p1uribus unum! Sic semper
tyrannis! Habeas corpust'
The audience roared with applause.
The credit OF the orator was saved,
and the Jackson ticket won out In that

The outcry daily growing louder Id

THANK <SGIVIlVG DAY CHANGE.
"a Plea To Have II Celebrated on 4
Monday.

- Fiea y q ttave u Celebrated on
Monday.
The first presidential Thanksgiving
day proclamation was issued by Wash
tngton in 1889. The day designated BY
him was Thursday. Nov. 90. Six years
later, when he again invited the people
to return thanks for blessings received,
the day selected was Thursday, Feb.
10. When In 1863 President Lincoln
announced national day of Thanks
giving he chose the one first selected
by Washingt gton-the last Thursday In
November. That has been the practice
during the last forty-fiv years.
Now some innoyators who have no
respect for precedent and are ready to
challenge any custom, no matter how
venerable, are asking why there should
not be change, says the Chicago Trib-
une. They do not take exception TO the
month. but they do to the day of the
week. They say that if the annual
thanks were to be given on Monday In
stead OF Thursday nobody would be-
put out In any particular, while there
would be a distinct gain for many. a
Thursday holiday cuts the week In
two. A Monday holiday would only
clip of p daysat the beginning Of it.
The school chers and the children
would be delighted with three consecu.
tive days or freedom. Business men
and their employees, it SIS alleged,
would be better satisfied If Monday
were selected. People who wished to-
celebrate away from home would haye#
70 sacrifice one business day less to-
do It. s;3! 4
This reasoning has force. It may
have convinced the Canadian govertt,
Sment which recently announced that
the Dominion Thanksg living day was
to be on Monday hereafter. Every
body is pleased when Christmas or the
Fourth Of July comes on q Monday, for:
4 II means two consecutive days OF no
work. Labor day comes on Monday
and Is none the less welcome. People
can give thanks and eat turkey on
Monday as well tas on Thursday.
The president can in theory desig-
nate nat any day Of any month he pleasess
but lis fettered by custom. He would
1 not not like to break It's chains unless rea-
sonably certain that there would be no
popular cry that he was robbing the
people Of their venerable Thanksgiving
day. If the champions Of Monday wish
to carry their point they must agitate
more energetic ically y. They must open
the eyes Of the comm munity to the supe-.
riority Of Monday. After they shall
have done that whoever may be presi-
J dent at the time will do the rest. Il

After being in partial disfavor for nearly a year, Father John of Cron- stadt has been taken back into the C,zar's confidence. He visits Tsarskoe- Selo three times a week when we'll and when i'll receives telegrams from the Czar inquiring after his condition
 Father John regained favor by pre- senting the Car with a privately printed pamphlet entitled How to Deal with Sedition." Tn this pamphlet he urged a ferocious policy entitled Automatic Excommunication." Ac- cording to Father John all persons convicted of antI-governmental action nf any kind, and even individuals pun ished on suspicion with out trial, should be. Ipso facto. accommodated and cursed by the Orthodox Church.
 Every parish priest in the empire should be supplied with printed forms of accommodation. When the parish of the offender is determined by the police, the priest should be notified; and he should at once fill in the guilty name, and aflx the excommunieation decree to the door of his church.
 The Car showed the pamphlet se- riousIy to N. Stolypin who could not conceal dis amazement. He contented himself with replying that he would consider it.
 Father John has been further show ing his loyalty by helping the police at cronstadt to draw up list of sus- poets.
 A priest named Arsenien. of Tyer, denounced this action as unworthy of the church, and has been removed tenn poraTily frtsna his post.
