Diamond CTcavIna.

The art of the lapidary is one Of the
most delicate employments of mechan-
ical force known. The practical dia-
mond cutter learns many facts about
precious stones which are sealed books
even to mineralogists. For instance,
it 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 steel
blade is driven with a smart blow in
the direction of the natural plane of
cleavage. Diamonds that have been
cut by the lapidary;s wheel lack some
of the brilliance possessed by. those
that have simply been cleaved-New

prdnr Lrks Questions.

Bishop Thrilwall, an English prel-

to answering questions. One day
tailor said to him when he had been
summoned to take the bishops meas

orders?" 81 want a suit Of clothes"

"Ahp' "And this Is likewise very

could get. When the new gardener

will your lordship be pleased to have

Good Weioht

One trick of the trade was taught to
the young butcher by the marketman
who gave him his first employment.
The old dealer pointed to trays of beef,
lamb and pork trimmings beneath the
counter.
when customers ask to have all the
waste that has been cut from their
own meat wrapped up with their order
be sure to put in a few of these trim
mings BESIDES" he said. "Most always
they want the scraps sent home so
they can weigh the whole business and
find out whether they are getting full
weight or not. Enough extra pieces
to tip the scales half an ounce beyond
the supposed weight won't hurt any
body and will give us a good name"
Shortly after that the new clerk
heard one frugal housewife say to an
other: "Oh. why don't you trade at
Blanks? He gives such good meas
ure, often almost an ounce more than
you pay for"
The clerk smiled. Washington Star.

WorId,s Most Valuable Garden.

The Bank of England has an old
fashioned garden In its midst. In the
center is fountain. there are couple
IF trees. and the paths are graveled.
This garden has curious history. In
reality it is the churchyard of the van
ished Church of st. Christopher lie
Stock, which used to stand on the site
Of the Mansion. House. One reason
why the church was pulled down was
because it's tower completely over
looked the bank. and it was feared
that it would be a danger to the "old
lady" if the church was occupied by
rioters. AS the bank occupies the site
of the entire parish of Christopher lie
Stock it is said that any freeman of
the city of London can claim admis-
sion to the old garden. AS a matter of
fact, any one who cares to see it may
do so during business hours, and it is
well worth a visit. if only for the fact
that it is the most valuable garden in
the world. London Spectator.

Whv Men Went West.

A hundred years ago the Rev. limo

on the benefit to Connecticut from the
draining away to the frontier-then

spirits who chafed under the rule of
the old families and the Congregation
al clergy, writes Professor Edward
Alsworth Ross in the Century. 1t new
err occurred to him that these tnsur-
gent spirits were carrying with them
to the wilderness a precious energy
and initiative. The unprosperous, the
shiftless and the migratory sought the
frontier, to be sure, but the enterpris-
ing. too. were attracted by it. The
timorous and cautious stayed and ac-
cepted the cramping conditions of an

Transportation In Charles IFS Tinno.

On the best highways heavy ar
ticles were in the time of Charles
II. generally conveyed from place to
place by stage wagons. = In the straw
of these vehicles nestled a crowd of
passengers who could not afford to
travel by coach or on horseback and
who Tere prevented by infirmity or by
the weight of their luggage from going
on foot. The expense of transmitting
heavy goods in this way was enor-
nous. From London to Birmingham
the charge was Fl 1851 a ton. from
London to Exeter f12 $500 ton. This
was about 80 cents a ton fop every
mile. The cost of conveyance amount
ed to prohibitoryit tax on many useful
articles. Coal in particular was never
seen except in the districts where it
was poduced or in the districts to
which it could be carried by sea and
was indeed always known in the south
of England by the name of sea COAL

Dickinson, N. D., July 10.--John
Bruegger OF Wflliston, president Of the

mornings session emphasized the ne
cessity of the enactment of a pure fa-
brio law, also statute relating to the
quality Of iron and steel used in ma

drug law.
If the retailers get such a law passed
lit win place the catalogue houses on
an equal basis with the retailer, and
the catalogue houses must furnish
good Of as high standard, as they ad-
vertise they will furnish.
Bruegger urged the employment of a
state organizer to build up the asso-
citation in North Dakota, and held up
the Stark County Merchants associa-
ton as model
| He claimed that politics have been
conducted on basis of appealing to
a mans prejudice instead of his
Judgment, and urged the merchants,

themselves, asserting that good citi-
zenship is far superior to party affllia-

Denver, Col, July 10.--Colorado
people are wondering why Ben Lind
sey Denver's kid" Judge. has left the
democratic party. Always a democrat,
Lindsey now declares that he has left
the democracy for good, and hereafter
will try his fortunes with the new
third party under Theodore Roosevelt.
He is leading the third party move
ment in Colorado.
Many of the judges enemies and
possibly few Of his friends, think
that a controlling reason for his leav-
ing the democracy at this time was
the hope that he might be nominated
as Theodore Roosevelt's running mate.
Lindsey, however, denies this.
When the first steps were taken to-
ward the formation Of new party,
at the close of the recent republican
national convention, political proph-
cts said that a democrat would be
chosen to run with Roosevelt. "A
progressive democrat, 1t was thought,
could pull many progressive votes
from the democratic party Lindsey's
stock as vice presidential possibility
went higher for time.
The nomination OF Wilson, how
ever, has blasted the hopes of Lind
sey's friends here who had hoped
to see him nominated for the vice
presidency. 1t is not believed now
that fight will be made by
the new party to win over the pro.
gressive democrats It looks as ii
republican would be named in ar
effort to capture the bulk Of the re.
publican party.
Lindsey, however, will remain true
to the new party. He declares thai
political ambition has had nothing
whatever to do with his desertior
from democracy and that he has
