An American family who had expe rienced the difficulty of obtaining and retaining the services of a reliable kitchen girl while on a visit to Ireland became acquainted with a promising young girl and brought her back home with them. In a few weeks she was Installed In her new home and made acquainted with her new duties. Among other things she was told that It was cus tomary when breakfast was ready to be served to ring the breakfast bell. Her "all right mum," came in such a confident tone that her mistress gave the matter no further thought. The following morning at 0 o'clock the family were rudely awakened by the violent ringing of the. front door bell. Thinking that a messenger must be waiting with some unusual mes sage, the gentleman of the house 1I not stop to dress, but hurried down In his night robe and opened the door. The new kitchen girl awaited him, her face beaming with a beautiful Rm!!e of triumph. Bowing low, she said Iji her rich Irish brogue, "Breakfast Is ready, sor." Los Angeles Times. Diamond Cutting. It is said that before the fourteenth century no one knew how to cut and polish diamonds. They were esteemed for their marvelous hardness, but not greatly admired for beauty. There Is a tradition that a Journeyman Jeweler In Flanders, Louis Van Bcrghem, dis covered the art of cutting diamond with diamond. But It Is probable that he only made some notable advance In the art sluce associations of diamond cutters had existed In France and Flanders from the fourteenth century. Louis Vnn Borghem's most famous achievement was the cutting and pol lshiug of a hnge diamond belonging to Charles the Bold. Charles was so de lighted with the result that he reward ed the artist liberally and declared that the diamond would now serve him for a bedroom lamp. This Jewel, which was found on Charles' body aft er the battle of Nancy. Is still In ex istence and celebrated under the 11:1 mo of the Sancy diamond. Youth's Com panion. Ho Gave Them Latin. Once, before he was president, An drew Jackson was making n political speech in some obscure campaign In n j backwoods Tennessee district. His nd I dress was very well received, but ; somehow there did not seem to be ex I nctly the enthusiasm wanted for the j occasion. Having vainly tried to -warm up nis uearers, tno general was Just going to sit down when the chairman of tho meeting plucked him by the coattall. "For the Lord's Bake, general, give 'cm some Latin!" he hur riedly whispered in the speaker's ear. "They won't think you know anything at all If you quit like this. Smith, the opposition candidate, talked Lntln to 'em half the evening." Old nickory rose to the situation. Advancing to the edge of the platform, he extended his arm and thundered out: "E plurlbus unuml Sic semper tyrannls! Habeas corpus!" The audience roared with applnuse. The credit of the orator was saved, and the Jackson ticket won out in that county. St Pnul Tloneer Tress. A Spoiled Scene. E. II. Sothern once found his wit fall him In time of need. It was lu the fourth act of "The Lady of Lyons." Sothern played Claude Melnotto, and Virginia ITarned was cast as Taullne. Benusant, tho villain, was pursuing Faullne, and she cried loudly for belp. Claude Is supposed to dash to her res cue and catch the fainting Paulino In bis arms. Sothern dashed on to the stage, but slipped and slid, sitting down near the footlights. Losing his presence of mind, he declaimed tbe line: "Look up, Pauline. There Is no danger." As Vlrgluln named was standing, this was, of course, an Im possibility. By this time the audience was In an uproar, and when Arthur Lawrence, who played Beausnnt, scorn fully said, "You are beneath me," the nmusement of the audience knew no bounds. The Stick For Wives. In tbe old Anglo-Norman marriage ceremony the gentlewoman used to promise ber husband to be buxom "unto my gen til manne." The word buxom corresponds to the modern Ger man biegsam, meaning bending or pli ant and the old English was "busk am," all of which goes to show that things must have been very pleasantly ordered in the good old days that are dead and gone. According to the old English law, which Is still unresclnded In the statute book, the "gentil manne" was allowed to beat his goode wife with a stick the diameter of which did not exceed a quarter of on inch.
