Not only is diamond cutting not a
specially highly paid occupation, but it
is one involving a most humiliating
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
has to be carefully taken when the I'M
finished work is handed in at night to
be locked up in a safe against the re-
turn of the workmen the next day.
The possibilities of theft are great,
though a dishonest workman knows
that an attempt to dispose of an unfin-
ished stone would bring suspicion upon
him wherever the attempt was made.

On June IA, 1777, the Continental
congress resolved that the flag Of the
United States be thirteen stripes, al
ternate red and white. and that the
Union be thirteen white stars on blue
field On Jan. IS, 1894, by an act Of
congress, the flag was altered to fifteen
red and white stripes and fifteen stars.
On April 4, 1918, congress again alter
ed the flag by returning to the original
thirteen stripes and fifteen stars. as
the adding of a new stripe for each adj
ditional state would soon make the
flag too large A new star is added to
the flag on July following the ad-
mission of each new state.-New York

Amending a Picture.
An eminent French art collector once
bought at the Hotel Drouot landscape
by a noted 'impressionist," which he
showed, with much pride in his pur-
chase, to an artist friend.
But think" quoth he, ''that the
picture lacks animation; 1t wants per
sonages. Now, if you would paint for
me man or woman on that road that
runs through the middle of the land
scape it would greatly improve the pic
ture."
''That is easily DONE" said the artist.
So he carried off the painting and sent
it back in a week or two with the fig
ure of an old peasant woman going to
market, with her basket and her red
umbrella, introduced on the road in
question, to the great satisfaction Of
the pictures proprietor. Meeting short
" after with the 'impressionist' who
had painted 1t, the artist remarked:

Women Who Wear Well.

II is astonishing how great a change q
few years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with ma--
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form OF Its
fairness.
