"Let It run." lie has the same desire that possessed Simple Simon of Mother Goose fame when he met the pie man. nut Moth er (Joose flourished before the pie reached the acme of Its glory.

When the pie was opened the birds began to sing. Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before a king? A pie containing live blackbirds sounds like a fairy tale, but it is not, as n Venetian publisher of a cookbook printed In 1309 gave a recipe for mak ing pies "that the birds may be alive In them and fly out when it Is cut up." The gay revelers who sat clown before such a dish may have thought that the very pinnacle of culinary art had been obtained, but the pumpkin affords gas tronomic delights to every American citizen beside which blackbird pies, ortolan pies, lombard pies or battalia pies are and of right ought to be back numbers.

"By the way," languidly asked the wealthy matron, "who is your friend Miss Blank?" . -"Miss Blank Is a charming girl," was the smiling response, "well bred, as you see, accomplished, entertaining." "Oh, yes. of course." continued the other, "but, rrty dear Mrs. So-and-so, you know what I mean who Is she?" "My dear woman," retorted the first lady, "I can no more tell you who Miss Blank Is than I could have . informed those who asked me who you . were when you first came' to Newport." ,St Paul Pioneer Press. v.

A NIGHT LAMP FOR A KING. Checkered Career of the Brilliant Stone After the Death of Charles the Timid Some Facts About the Invention of Diamond Cutting. Louis de Berquem, says tradition, was a poor jeweler's workman, but he fell in love with the daughter of a wealthy Jeweler. This avaricious fa flier would not give his daughter In marriage to any man not possessed of gold. Louis, having neither "expecta tions" from relatives nor favor at court, sought to make his fortune. lie had often heard the father of his be loved remark that the man who discov ered a- method of cnltlni diamonds would become very wealthy. :;r ;) to that time they knew nothing more than to scrape off the gravel, j'.nd the diamond was loft In its native state. Nelher lime, fire nor the mill could af fect the diamond. After many investigations and deep thought Louis bethought himself that iron Is fashioned with steel, which Is only hardened Iron, and it occurred to him that perhaps tho diamond would yield to the diamond. He made an experiment, which was at once crown ed with success. A few days later he presented him self before tho rich Jeweler with two diamonds cut Into facets. He obtained the hand he sought and amassed a great fortune by his secret, which he divulged only after he had become wealthy. '' King ChitWes the Timid was the principal customer of Louis de Ber quem. The fastidious enemy of Louis XL then possessed a large diamond, since become celebrated, accounted among the finest of precious stones But this diamond was 111 shapen, and the fires which It held burned in rain. Louis de Berquem cut nnd polished this stone, and nothing could equal the Joy of Charles the Timid when the Jeweler brought him the great dia mond, so glittering with light that it lit up the darkness, nnd this to such an extent that the prince said. "It wl!! serve me as a night lamp." Berquem received 3.000 ducats for his work. As for tho diamond, this Is the one which was found In January. 1477, on the body of Charles the Timid after the battle of Nancy. A soldier picked it up, sold It for one gold piece to n prl?it, who In turn sold it for three r leocs of gold to a merchant, who took It to the Duke of Florence. From the hands of this prince it passed Into tho possession of the king of Portugal. He sold it for 70,000 francs to one of tho companions of Henri HI., Nicholas de Harlay. baron of Snncy. Since this time the first large diamond to bo cut is known as "the Rancy." This legend leads to other considera tions of the cutting of diamonds as crlled to LnutH de Berquem at Brus sels In 1405. Hardly any one will assert boldly that no diamonds were cut before that date, but it is reasonable to suppose that Louis de Berquem regulated cut ting by arranging tho facets. Long before the birth of Louis de Berquem cutting was known In India. Even In Europe we find ' among the treasures of the churches thick dia monds cut into table nnd culet, the upper Bides beaten Into sections, in 1300, according to tho Inventory of the Jewels of Louis, duke of Anjou, is found an entire scries of cut diamonds. There is mention of a flat diamond with six sides, of a heart shaped dia mond, of a diamond with eight sides, of a lozenge shaped diamond, of a dia mond pointed on four sides and of a reliquary in which was set a diamond cut In the shape of a shield. History Informs us that 150 years before the first work of Louis de Ber quem there were at Fnrls, at the cor ner of the Corroyerle, several diamond cutters. The Duke of Burgundy, after a fas tidious repast given at the Louvre to the king nnd the French court in 1403,. offered to his noble guests eleven dia monds estimated to be worth 780 pieces of gold, the money of the pe riod. It is hardly possible to supimse that these were uncut diamonds; all of which, goes to prove, notwithstanding Borne opinions, that Louis de Berquem did not invent the process of diamond cutting. It 'is no less interesting to follow .the fortunes of tho Sancy a little further. It remained in tho Saucy family some time, and Henri III. took It from them. It was destined to serve as a pledge for the raising of a body of Swiss soldiers, but the servant Intrust ed with bringing this diamond to the king was attacked, put to death, and the diamond was thought to be lost I Finally it wis discovered that the servant had been assassinated in the forest of Dole and through the care of the priest had been buried in the Tillage cemetery. . Then the Baron de Sancy resolved that the diamond must not be lost In fact they found it In the stomach of the hapless, faithful servant, wbo swallowed It at the mo ment that he fell. According to the Inventory of 1701 the Sancy weighed 83 carats. It disappeared in 1702 to reappear in Russia. Its value la estimated at a million francs. Before the revolution It was among the French crown Jew els. New York World. Silence - la sometime ' the lereraet criticism. Baxter. RELIGIOUS ACROBATS. Dangerous Aerial Slide Annually Per formed In India. India offers many curious things in the wuy of religion, nnd the strangest of them all is the aerial slide, which is performed annually nt Kulu, In the Himalayas. At a point where there is a cliff overhanging a precipitous gorge several huudred feet in width and a hundred feet In depth a ropo is made fast to the rock. The other end of this Is carried across tho gorge and there secured to a stake. The total length of the rope between the two points is when drawn taut 2,500 feet, and the cud attached to the clllf Is several hun dred feet higher than that fastened ou the opposite side of the ravine. Thus a slide Is contrived, nud it is a danger ous one to ail appearance. ' It Is down this incline that the per former has his path. For the lofty Journey a sort of saddle is provided made of wood, with holes In It, through which the rope passes. But before n start Is made the whole length of t'le rope Is wet to prevent the saddle from catching tire from the friction. The performer sits astride this seat, nud ti his legs are fastened bags of sa::d, which serve two purposes they enable him to maintain nn upright position during his lightning-like descent, and they increase"'the momentum. The lower end of the ropo is carefully wound with bits of carpet to check the speed before tho stake Is reached. Without this precaution the performer would be dashed to pieces. Tho terrific velocity of the descent for the first few hundred yards Is shown by the stream of smoke that trails from the wake of tho saddle, do spite the fact that the rope has been wet. Afterward the Incline diminishes somewhat, nnd tho pace becomes corre spondingly slower. By the time the goal Is reached the Jherl, as the per former Is called, Is able to come to n standstill without disaster. This slide iu the air Is supposed to reveal the will of the gods as to the crops of the approaching season. If the perilous trip Is accomplished In safety n plentiful hnrrest is assured. Naturally, therefore, every caro Is tak en to minimize the daugers of the per formance. The ceremony is of ancient origin, nnd those who engage iu It as Jherl form a small caste apart New York Tribune, . A MEDFORD STORY. Legend of the Phantom Ship and Its I Mad Pirate Captain. j The towu of Medford, Mass., has a ' legend of a phantom ship beside which j the Flying Dutchman Is only a peace ful merchantman. The Medford story i runs that a ship laden wltu rum nud gold and silver bars put out from that ' place In the days when the Spanish I main was infested with pirates. It I was headed for a West Iudiau port. but got into the doldrums aud was so ! long becalmed that water aud provi sions gave out, aud all hands perished' of thirst uud starvation. When the j wind came up agalu the ship sailed away with her ghastly crew, was seen ' by a buccaneer, chased and over hauled. I The pirate captain made fust to his prize without firing a single shot, and, 1 attributing the vessel's nonreslstnnce .to fear or lack of arms, he was the first man to leap on board. But the rope with which the captured ship had been carelessly lashed to his own parted under the strain of the seawny, and he found himself rapidly borne away from his comrades on what ho soon discovered to be a floating coffin. A stiff breeze filled the sails of the derelict, and before his own vessel could overtake It night descended on the ocean, and the pursuing ship lost sight of it altogether. Left alone iu pitch darkness on the grewsome craft, the plrnto went mad with terror and, seizing the wheel, raced away before the wind and, according to the legend, was condemned to range the seas for ever thus In command of his horrlblo prize. Woo to the ship thnt encountered It scudding along by moonlight or in the lightning's glare, manned by skeletons and steered by a shouting, gesticulat ing madman, and when on several oc casions It was sighted In the fog off Medford it was considered as the her ald of storm and disaster and the loss of many Bhlps.
