Paris, i'm many Of its districts, is
built over the catacombs, says Har-

ranean chambers and galleries produce
that peculiar cavernous sound which
is heard in the Luxembourg, Montpar-
nasse, Vaugirard. Montrouge and
Montsouris quarters when heavy carts
pass rapidly along the coarsely
metaled roads. The streets are then
like monstrous drums beating funeral
marches to the grave over that vast
common grave Of ten centuries OF
Parisians with its millions Of skeleton
dead. That quaint little Gothic house
at the corner Of the Boulevard Ras-

IMPERIAL THEATRE

In making the elaborate plans to
thoroughly alter the policy OF the
Imperial Theatre in Providence, the de-
sire to make it the leading theatre OF
the city has been fully carried out
quite as much as the brilliant new
scheme Of decoration, and as the house
pleascs by its new carpetings and gid
ing, so is it drawing spendid audiences
by the fact the highest class theatrical
attractions Of the country are now to
be seen here by the enterprise OF tn\
new management
Close behind the tunefully popular
Merry Widow" is to come another big
production, The Florist Shop" also
to be offered by Henry w. Savage,
whose Merry Widow" the famous
English Grand Opera Company Par
sifal," The College Widow" and other
works have made his name stand for
much throughout the land.
The latest Of these works, The
Florist Shop" is a comedy taken from
the German by the nimblewitted Oliver
Herford, which the New York papers
have freely called "A laughing earth
quake" and its bubbling humor is now
much quoted by those lucky enough to
have seen it. The plot of the piece is
built around The establishment of the
frenchicst of shopkeepers, who under
the name of the Innovation Florist
Shop has hit upon the clever idea of
substituting hosiery and lingerie for
American Beauty Roses and carnations
which young men order sent TO their
women friends, the former, of course,
being entirely ignorant of what is real
ly sent Though the plan was origi-
nally intended only as a play several
New Workers have already opened
shops along these lines, though it is to
be hoped their customers are spared
the ludicrous misadventures to be seen
i'll the play.
The unusually large company includes
Nina Morris, Marian Lorne, Louise
Drew, Corene Uzzell, Nelly Roland,
Lionel Walsh, Richard Sterling, there
being twenty-seven speaking parts, and
the gowns have proved almost an OBJ
ect lesson to feminine audiences as the

been sent a month ago from the estab-
lishment of the famous Zimmerman of
Paris. The engagement of The Flor
ist Shop" will begin Monday, Septem-
Der I3, at the Imperial with a popular
price matinee on Wednesday and the

THE DIAMOND CUTTER.
His Skill Has Much to Do With the
BriIliancy of the Gem.

his Skill Has Much to Do With the
6riIliancy Of the Gem.
When the expert looks at diamond
he can tell you I'm a moment where it
came from and even whether IL was
cut lately or some years ago. He
knows by its color whence 1t comes
for the color Of the Brazilian diamond
differs from that Of the South African,
and even I'm South Africa different col
ors are found in different mines.
In the rough the diamond has little
brilllancy. for there is a crust that
must be cut away before 1t can prop
erly refract the light and II is this
power OF refraction which makes the
brilliancy of diamond and has ev-
erything 10 do with its value in the
market The skill Of the diamond cut
ter has much to do with bringing out
this brilliancy. He must do the most
he can with the rough stone before
him and lose as little as possible Of
the precious weight In the stone.
Diamonds are found In all kinds of
queer shapes, for the carbon may be
In any position while being crystalliZ-
ed, and the act Of crystallization may
affect only parts Of that carbon. When
the expert cutter has q rough diamond
before him he judges almost instantly
how ii will cut to the greatest ad-
vantage. If II inclines to the pear
shape he will make pear shaped dia.
mond OF II. II 1t be square or round
the cutting will follow the natural lines
as closely as possible. so that the loss
may be reduced to a minimum
To make the stone as brilliant as
possible the diamond cutter cuts many
facets so as to refract the light from
as many points as he can. A full cut
brilliant has at least forty-eight facets.
and so expert are the cutters that they
often cut diamonds so small that it re-
quires hundred to weigh a carat.
Each has forty-eight facets.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

SARATOGA'S SPRINGS.
The Water Was First Used by tho In
dams as q "Cure"


The Saratoga Springs "cure" ante
dated the settlement OF this commu-
nifty by the white man, when the High
Rock spring was only bubbling
springlet, drunk at first by the Indians
as fresh water spring. Finding that
their health was improved by the wa
ter, they bethought them that 1t must
have medicinal qualities, and from
that time all sick Indians were brought
to High Rock spring for the healing
OF their Ills The outward and visi-
bic sign" that impressed the red men
was the deposit Of the salts Of the
water about the spring in the form Of
a cone, called tufa, which still exists
and from which 1t received it's name
and through and over which the water
bubbles to this day.
In 1900 the Congress spring was dis
covered and became renowned the
world over as saline cathartic. This.
combined with the sulphurous iron
water OF the Putnam spring. made
Saratoga Springs famous as the lead
ing health resort Of the United States.
The remainder Of the thirty-fve min
eral springs were discovered from time
to time. and all have wide therapeu-
tic application in the treatment OF al
most all chronic diseases and are di-
vided into four groups according TO
their component parts. These groups
are: First. sodic. muriated. alkaline.
saline, cathartic; second, sodic. calcic.
muriated, alkaline saline: third. cha
lybeate: fourth, sulphur. - National
