Diamonds May Be Engraved.
A Parisian Inventor has devised
tools for the engraving of the surface
ef diamonds, and thus has opened up
a new field In Jewelry. Wonderfully
beautiful effects can be produced.
The new Instrument enables a skilled
engraver to portray flowers with all
their foliage on a diamond, and de
signs ' irlous kinds. It has enabled
diamond cutter to cut a diamond
Into the form of a ring, polished on
the inside, and cover the upper sur
face with artistic designs. Another
' diamond has been carved like a fish.

delicious dish; then, again, for another change, sprinkle the

this event it is well to have the eggs slightly underdone, and ,

- it formerly was possible to polish only
flat surfaces of diamonds, French
Workers have perfected a method for
polishing concave parts. Chey have
tools that produce straight or curved
lines. It also now Is possible to pierce
ihole in diamonds and still retain the
brilliancy. Accordingly, diamonds
now may be placed on a string. The
Inventor spent many years in perfect

The Age of Woman.
Professor Arthur Keith, of the
Royal College of Surgeons, deserves
to be congratulated; he has correctly
ascertained the age of a woman who
refused to disclose It. It is not very
gallant of him to declare that she Is
600,000 years old, but he Is willing to
stake his scientific reputation on the
accuracy of his assertion.
The British savant has nncarthed a
prehistoric skull at Gibraltar, and he
argues from the size and strength of
the jaw that It Is a skull of the fem
inine gender. The brain cavity is un
usually large, from which it Is fur
ther Inferred that the lady was strong
minded a cave-dwelling precursor of
the type known to-day as the militant
suffragette. Professor Keith says that
the men who were the contmpora-
flee of the prehistoric won-an had
I comparatively short legs and very
V long arms. This would seem to Indi
cate that they could not Tun very last
or very far to escape the voluble
tongue of the large-brained and
strong-jawed helpmeet. The long
arms,, however, would enable them to
4o very well at the washtub or the
ironing board under the lynx-eyed su
pervision of the real i head of tie
household.
Thus It is seen that the "emanci
pate" woman Is, after all, a type not
so strange and new as was supposed
She has exiBted, it would seem, for
560(1 centuries, while the last pter
odaoiyli and ichthyosaum were still
reaming at large and eating the tops
of the tallest trees without having to
climb them, the' prehistoric lady and
her long tresses were abroad in the
land that had lately emerged Irom
under glacial ice or out of the bosom
of the deep. Cries of "Votes for
women," in the uncouth prehistoric
language, resounded from crag to
erag, like thunder in the Alps. The
oid womaa that Professor Keith has
discovered and the new woman that
nas discovered herself are sisters

Kosgh straws are decidedly smart
this season, and, strange as it may
seem to the uninitiated, the rougher

Black pipings are in great favor,

New York Citv. Norfolk Jackets
are always becoming and attractive
as well as practical and this season
thev are being extensively worn. This
one takes exceedingly smart lines and
is adapted to the entire costume anu

the skirt, but coats of this kind also
are much liked made from either
serge or broadcloth in bright colors
to be worn over white skirts or lin

worn with a patent leather belt would
be exceedingly smart.

Soft Iirot'iuh'H in Style.
The soft satin brocades, that one
or two Paris houses recommended for
dinner and ball gowns, have become
more fashionable. To a certain ex
tent they will replace the long series
of Liberty satins, and charmeuse
satin, we have worn uninterruptedly
for ten months. The flowered bro
cades, however, do not lend them
selves to so many draped effects as
the plain soft satin. Their style de
mands a more classical scheme, at all

Cuts or Wounds.
.A wound produced by a sharp cut
ting instrument will heal without
trouble when the edges are nicely
brought together and left bo, without
putting on any salve, provided the ac
cess of air is shut off and the person
possesses a good constitution. If the
wound Is produced by a rusty nail or
a similar cause, so as to be jagged,
it will Boon become very inflamed,
and in such a case it is recommended
to smoke the wound with burning
wool or woolen cloth, says Woman's
Life. Twenty minutes in the smoke
of wool will take the pain out of the
worst wound, and if repeated once or
twice will allay the worst case of in
Lavender Disinfectant.
The following directions were given
once upon a time In a sick room for a
disinfectant It was there discovered i
to be so agreeable that it has ever
since that time been employed in the
same household to disguise the smell
of food in the, kitchen. Every one
knows the value of burning coffee for
the like purpose, but that is so iden
tified with the use that one thinks at
once, when sniffing its odor, of the
smell which it is covering up. To
make the lavender disinfectant, soak
sheets of common brown wrapping
paper in satpetre and water, then,
set them away to dry till wanted.
When brought into play, throw on
one of these leaves of paper some
flowers of lavender and burn them
on a shovel, as in the case of the
coffee. Woman's Life.
For Stained Fingers.
The days of preserving bring
stained fingers. Have you ever tried
using a weak solution of oxalic acid
after preparing berries or discoloring
vegetables? It is a quick stain re
mover. As the acid Is a poison, label the
bottle plainly and keep away from
children. Where stains are under
fingernails wrap a bit of absorbent
cotton on the end of an orangewood
stick and dip in the solution.
For minor stains lemon Juice is
helpful. Run ends of fingers into
half a cut lemon.
Tomatoes will also remove stains,
especially those of paring potatoes or
other slight dlscoloratlons. A tomato
is a whltener and softens the hands.

How to Serve Watermelon.
"Watermelons are especially cool
ing and refreshing on a hot day be
cause of quantities of dellciously
flavored juice which they contain,"
says Fannie Merritt Farmer, in Wom
an's Home Companion. "The edible
portion is sometimes chilled, cut la
small cubes (removing seeds),
sprinkled with powdered sugar, and
arranged in coupe glasses for the first
course at luncheon or dinner. For
family use it is most attractively
served in one of the following ways:
Cut a section three or four inches In
thickness from the centre of a chilled
watermelon. With a sharp knife cut
out a circle of the pink pulp (the
edible portion) and place upon a
chilled serving dish of correct Bize.
Serve in pie-shaped pieces on chilled
plates, or cut off a thick slice from
both ends of the melon (that the
halves may stand level) and cut in
halves crosswise. Arrange on a serv
ing dish on a bed of green leaves, If
any are at hand."
Coffee Souffle. One and a half
cups strong coffee, one-half cup milk,
one tablespoon granulated gelatine,
two-thirds cup sugar, yolks of three
eggs. Cook in a double boiler till it
begins to thicken, then add the whites
of three eggs beaten to a stiff froth;
mould and serve with cream and
sponge drops.
Soft Ginger Cake. Beat, two eggs
light, add one-half cupful sour cream,
one of molasses and three cupfuls
flour sifted twice, with a level tea
spoonful soda, a level tablespoonful
ginger and a saltspoonfcl of salt.
Mix well, add a half cup seeded
raisins cut in halve3 and dredged with
flour, and bake in a moderate oven.
Snow Costard. Boll eight eggs,
leaving out the whites of four; add to
them one quart of milk and five
ounces of sugar; have a shallow pan
of hot water In the oven; set the dish
into it and bake till the custard is
thick; then set away to cool; beat re
maining whites very light; add half a
teaspoonful of lemon juice; when the
custard is cold lay the whites over
the top in heaps, but do not let them
touch.
Dutch Apple Cake. Make a biscuit
dough, using cream instead of butter
and milk. Make the dough a little
too soft to roll and spread about half
an Inch thick In a pan. Pare and
core tart apples and cut into eighths.
Stick the pieces in the top of the
dough in regular rows, core side
down. Sprinkle on top as much sugar
as necessary to sweeten the apples,
with grated cinnamon and bits of
butter; and bake until the apples are
thoroughly done.

Retail Business Feels the Effect ef
Long-Delayed Summer.
"Retail trade and! most crop re
ports are on the whole better Hhim
week, the result mainly of the arrival
of long-delayed seasonable summer
weather. Aiding the improvement
in retail trade, which at best, how
ever, is not up to expectations, has
been the offering of concessions in
manyi lines of dry goods and wearing
apparel. Exceptions to the improve
ment are in the Northwest, where
the critical state of the spring wheat
and other crops, due to drouth, Is
noted, and also at many Southern
points,, where retail trade' is still
quiet.
"There has been a litt! more con
fidence in ordering from jobbers and
wholesalers for fall, but in the North
west there is a disposition to await a
clearer view of the crop outlook, be
fnra ndillnir tn the already fairly good
business booked for fall In dry goods
and clothing. Confirmation of tih
theory that there Is a demand for '
goods at a price is found in the fairly
RaHsfae.torv reononse in the way of
orders to the general reductions
noted by manufacturers of bleached
cottons and gray goods this week.
"Tn Inrtii atrial lines there is little
evidence of improvement yet to be
seen. Tne iron trade is rainy na
tive, but pig iron Is lower, and the
trflria focllnir flu in thn last half Of
the year is hardly as optimistic as in
tne nrst six moni'ns. in
goods the movement Is still dn the
fHrnctlon nf wirtnllment. both at lead

Woolen manufacturing is also on
short time. The output by Jewelry
manufacturers is not oip to ormal.
