The federal census is one of those
things that had better be left undone
than not done properly. 1t is nat
ional stock taking and what the nation
wants is tho fact SO that it may know
as accurately as possible how it stands
on those matters concerning which the
government seeks information. X is
a BUSINESS affair just as truly as is thu
stock taking of private firm and it
needs to be done in the same business
like way. Therefore the presidents
order prohibiting the mixing of tho
census with politics is most welcome.
1t is welcoma because if obeyed it will
meau the most accurate census ever
obtained, aud it is also welcome be-
cause it lifts the whole question ont
of politics with all its corrupting and
inaccurate aturei, inio he domain
of business.

The Press is gratified TO havo the
opportunity of announcing an alluring
prospect of the requirement OF artes-
ian water at the we'll on the Athena
Land g. Trust oompany's property,
south of Main street. In fact, the
flow is there, though not yet in suffi-
oient quantity as desired. While the
we'll is yet at the stage of prospect,
the Indications for flowing we'll of
commercial value are 40 bright, that
the public spirited and progressive
men who are "behind the gun" in tho
enterprise, are receiving congratula-
tions. The Press considers the men
who are putting their money into this
we'll in the light of public benetactors.
They are to be commended for taking
the initiatory in project, that If
successfully terminated, solves the
problem of supplying this municipal
ity with water. A "gusher" on the
Athena Land 81 Trust company pro-
perty, would mean that Messrs. Miller
81 West would never take their equip
ment away until the city had an
artesian water supply.

The Athena High School will open
Monday morning, September l3. The
success of the work of the school for
the coming year. lies not altogether in
the professional efforts of Principal
Case and his assistant corps, but in
great measure the standard of the
school will evolve from the support
given it by the patrons in this and
surrounding districts There are
nun ber of pupils, residents OF Athena
and vicinity, who have been attending
other chools for the good and s1ffici-
ent reason that the Athena school was
considered by them TO be below stan
dard as compared with the schools
they attended away from home.
Granting that this has Eeen true OF
the past, there is now no legitimate
excuse, whatever, for any Athena
pupil who has not taken the full high
school course to attend any school

ectors has responded 10 the call of

With universal support, split OF
genuine loyalty to the homo achool
will spring up and only a matter of
little time will be required 10 place
the Athena high school in The rank
where 1t justly belongs. Principal
Case and Prof. Mulkey the assistant

Livinq Over Cataeombs.

Paris, in many of its districts, is
built over the catacombs, says Har-
per's Weekly. These vast subter-
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-
pail, which many an American artist
must remember from his student days,
actually has private staircase lead
ing to the catacombs from beneath a
Theoretically closed stone slab just in
front of the doorstep.

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

his Sklll f1as Much 70 10 WIN tne
Brillianoy Of the Gem.
When the expert looks at diamond
he can tell you in moment where it
came from and even whether it was
cut lately or some years ago. He
knows by its color whence it comes,
for the color of the Brazilian diamond
differs from that of the South African,
and even in South Africa different col
ors IRE found in different mines.
In the rough the diamond has little
briliiancy. 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 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 oue
this brilliancy. He must do the most
he can with the rough stone before
him and lose rs little as possible OF
the precious weight in the stone.
Diamonds are found in all kinds oe

in any position while being crystalliz-
ed, and the act Of crystallization may
affect only parts of that carbon. When
the expert cutter has rough diamond
before him he judges almost instantly
how it will cut to the greatest ad-
vantage. If it inclines to the pear
shape he will make a pear shaped dia-
mond of 1t. II it he square or round
the cutting will follow the natural lines
as closely rs possible. so that the losa
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 Il carat.
Each has forty-eight facets.-Cleve-

An editorial writer recently gave
space to his logical calculations rela
tive to bringing up children. Among
other things he says: about the
worst thing parents can do is to dis
ouss the failings of children before
them. The next worst thing is for
one parent to attempt to punish the
child and the other parent to protest
against it. Either action will damage
the respect of the child for one or the
other of its parents. and if there is
one thing more than another that
parents want to preserve, 1t is their
dignity before their children. A child
that gets the idea that one parent is
at variance with the other on the
question of discipline will make both
unhappy and render itself decidedly
Objectionable by playing oil one par
ent against the other, IL you want
to have any harmony in the family
get together on the question of dis
ciplining the children.-at least in
their presence--and If you want to
quarrel on methods, do it in the pri.
vacy of your own apartments, where
you can have it out without lowering
yourselves in the eyes of the child"

Rock spring was only bubbling

as fresh water spring. Finding that
their health was improved by the wa

that time MI sick Indians were brought

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-
