Diamond Cleavina.

The art of the lapidary is one OF the
most delicate employments Of mechan-
zeal force known. The practical dia-
mond cutter learns many facts about
precious stones which are sealed books
even to mineralogists. For instance.
ii is the lapidaries who have found
out that diamonds coming from the
different districts vary remarkably In
their degrees Of hardness. 1t appears
that the hardest diamonds come from
New South Wales. An unfamiliar fact
Is that diamonds are made to assume
approximately the required shape by
Sitting and cleaving and by "bruting,
which is the rubbing Of one diamond
against another. before they are sub
mitted to the polishing wheel. In
cleaving the diamond Is cemented on
the end Of wooden stick and stee
blade is driven with smart blow IL
the direction Of the natural plane Of
cleavage. Diamonds that have beer
cut by the lapidary's wheel lack some
/ of the brilliance possessed by thos'
that have simply been cleaved.-Nev

Graceful Women Of india.

western woman might envy. The
sari is draped in an easy flowing style
and adjusted as it slips back with
graceful turn of the silver bangled
arm, the skinny legs move rhythmical-
jy and the small feet fall with a silent
and pantherlike tread. 1t is the beau
ty of natural and untrammeled motion

The commonest type is the coolie wo-
man. who undertakes all sorts OF
rough work, carrying heavy burdens
| on her head. and she is perhaps the
least attractive, for her workaday gar
ments are usually faded and dirty, yet
even among this poor class Of burden
bearers we see many with handsome
straight features and supple, well pro
portioned figures. No matter how pool

Marketing In France.

In France the housewife does very
little of. the marketing. 1t is left TO
the servants. There the servants do
the bargaining. If potatoes are 10
cents per pound and the girl can get
them from some market woman Tor .
cents she reasons that the mistress
should not profit by the bargaining
but that she herself should have the
difference. The regular price OF the
potatoes being 10 cents. the servant
marks them down In her book at that
price and pockets the difference. This
is one Of the peculiarities OF the French
method of keeping house. and 1t has
been found a real aid in keeping serv.
ants. The housewives are aware OF
what is taking place, but they are sat
isfied to pay the regular market prices
1t is the bargaining Of the, servants
which gets them an extra allowance
but as long as the eatables are up tt
the standard the housewife does mo-
complain. Boston Herald.

spokane. Wash, March 25.-Delvers
into the early history OF the North

the Ozarks was heard by Herman Cor

reached the Oregon country on a plum
dering tour forty years after the dis
coverv of the Western continent The

"There are several Indian versions
which show traces OF apparent French
origin" said r. B. Milroy, Chairman
