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

The Saratoga Springs "cure" ante
dated the settlement of this commu-
nifty by the white man, when the High
Rock spring was only a 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 it must
have medicinal qualities. and from
that time all sick Indians were brought
to High Rock spring for the healin'
of their ills. The outward and visi
BILE sign" that impressed the red men
was the deposit Of the salts of the
water about the spring in the form Of
cone, called tufa, which still exists
and from which it received its 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 a 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

American Ideas Abroad.

The American girls notion Of doing
something to take care Of herself with
out resorting to mental labor has had
effect In the European capitals. In
Paris and Vienna young women are
now employed in the marts of trade,
and many of them command good sal
aries. Many are entering the various
clerical fields. Only the women OF the
lower class now consent to marrying
Woodworking men. In Paris partfc-
ularly there is q growing disposition to
marry men in position-men who wear
uniforms. Everywhere one sees a dis
position on the part Of the European
girl of the middle class to follow the
ways Of the American business girl.
All this Will have IL. effect on the next
generation in the old country.

that does not mean that her gowns
are not costly. She affects simple lam
guage, and she pretends to admire the
simple life.
OF course there is no telling how
long this will last, but at present it's
very much the thing.
Probably the woman who holds her
own socially Is unaffected because the
one who doesn't is so full of airs
The latter, indeed, couldn't exist If
she were not posing in some way for
the purpose Of dazzling some one. She
would feel at the mercy Of the whole
world If she acted naturally. She be-
lieves in finesse, as they say In bridge.
A straight game is unknown to her.
The pity Of 1t is that she dazzles no
one but herself and deceives no one
else.
People are amused to see her elabo-
rate plottings and plannings when the
truth is so perfectly obvious.
But there is no one so obstinate as
a woman of this type. You could talk
to her for a week without convincing
her that truth and common sense are
the best policies.
The woman who is frank and
straightforward is sure to have host
Of friends People like to be with her
she is such a relief from the managing
polite lady.
A sweet smile wins always. There
Is nothing more attractive.
All the supercilious airs, all the
clever sallles and the artful glances
do not weigh in the balance against
single glance of sympathy and kind
ness.
The girl or woman who wants to be
sought after and loved need only smile
at the world right from her heart. and
the world will sure smile back at her.

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

BriIliancy of the Gem.
When the expert looks at diamond
he can tell you in moment where it
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 In South Africa different col
ors are found in different mines.
In the rough the diamond has little
brilliancy, for there is a crust that
must be cut away before 1t can prop
erly refract the light, and 1t is this
power of refraction which makes the
brilliancy of a diamond and has ev-
erything to 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 crystallz-
ed. and the act Of crystallization may
affect only parts Of that carbon. When
the expert cutter has a rough diamond
before him he judges almost instantly
how it will cut to the greatest adj
vantage. If it inclines to the pear
shape he will make a pear shaped dia-
mond Of it. If it be square or round
the cutting will follow the natural lines
as closely as possible, so that the loss
may be reduced to minimum.
To make the stone as brilliant as
possible the diamond cutter cuts many
facets so as to refract the light from
rs many points as he can. A full cut
brilliant has at least forty eight facets,
and so expert ore the cutters that they
often cut diamonds so small that 1t re-
quires hundred TO weigh a carat
Each has forty-eight facets.-Cleve-
