Ringing tho Breakfast Bell.

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 a promising
young girl and brought her back home
with them.
In q few weeks she was installed In
her new homo 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 call right, num-" came in such a
confident. tone that her mistress gave
the matter no further thought.
The following morning at G o'clock
the family were rudely awakened by
the violent ringing Of the front door
bell. Thinking that a messenger must
be waiting with some unusual mes
sage, the gentleman Of the house did
not stop to dress, but hurried down in
hin 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.

On 4 New Footing.

Mr.. Absalom Foote, an eccentric old
gentleman who had grown tired Of life
in the city, decided to move to some
smaller town, free from the roar Of
traffic, the hustle and confusion Of the
thronging multitude, where he could
end his days TRANQUILITY, as became a
man of his age. In casting about for
a location, his eye CHANGED to light
upon the advertisement in village
paper Of one Thomas R. Foote, who
wanted to dispose of his boot and
shoe store at bargain, having made
up his mind to remove to the city.
THAT'S the very thing" he said.
Selling shoes Is nice easy occupa-
ton. It will give me just enough to
DO to keep me from stagnating, and 1t
won't wear me out with overwork.
I'll investigate it. It's queer, though,
that his name is Foote, my name is
Foote, he wants to come to the city
and want to 60 to the country"
A visit to the little town decided
him. He liked its appearance and To-
cation. He was pleased, moreover,
with "Foote's Shoe Store" and bought
1t, good will and all, at a bargain.
"Well," said the other Mr.. Foote,
'.you won't have to change the sign"
NO." he answered slowly. "I'll just
add little to it, -...,
The next day he added this, just
below the sign: ''This places has
changed feet" ~ =. -

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 journeyman jeweler
In Flanders, Louis Van Berghem, dis
covered the art Of cutting diamond
with diamond. But 1t is probable that
he only made some notable advance in
tho art since associations Of diamond
custers had existed in France and
Flanders from the fourteenth century.
Louis Van Berghem's most famous
achievement was the cutting and pol
fishing 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 be broom lamp. This jewel,
which was found on Charles body aft
er the battle of Nancy, is still in ex-
istence and celebrated under the name
Of the Sancy diamond.-Youth's Com
panion.
