NIGHT LAMP FOR A KING. heckered 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, as a poor jeweler's workman, but fell in love with the daughter of a ealthy jeweler. This avaricious fa er would not give his daughter in arriage to any man not ossessed of >d. Louis, having neither "expecta ons" from relatives nor favor at >urt, sought to make his fortune. He Ad often heard the father of his be ved remark that the man who discov ed a method of cutting diamonds ould become very wealthy, for up to at time they knew nothing more an to scrape off the gravel, and the amond was left in its native state. eiher lime, fire nor the mill could af et the diamond. After many investigations and deep ,ought Louis bethought himself that on is fashioned with steel, which is tly hardened iron, and it occurred to m that perhaps the diamond would eld to the diamond. He made an :periment, which was at once crown : with success. A few days later he presented him if before the rich jeweler with two amonds cut into facets. He obtained :e hand he sought and amassed a eat fortune by his secret, which he, vulged only after he had become ealthy. ing Charles the Timid was the 'incipal customer of Louis de Ber iem. The fastidious enemy of Louis L then possessed a large diamond, ace become celebrated, accounted nong the finest of precious stones. at this diamond was ill shapen, and e fires which it held burned in vain. Louis de Berquem cut and polished is stone, and nothing could equal the y of Charles the Timid when the weler brought him the great dia ond, so glittering with light that It up the darkness, and this to such t extent that the prince said. "It will rve me as a night lamp." Berquem ceived 3,000 ducats for his work. ..s for the diamond, this is the one hich was found in January. 1477, on ,e body of Charles the Timid after ,e battle of Nancy. A soldier picked up, sold it for one gold piece to a lest, who In turn sold it for three ecesof gold to a merchant, who took to the Duke of Florence. From the hands of this prince it Lssed into the possession of the king Portugal He sold It for 70.000 ancs to- one of the companions of enri III.. Nicholas de Harlay, baron Sancy. -Since this time the first rge diamond to be cut is known as he Sancy." This legend leads to other considera ns of the cutting of diamonds as ibed to Louis de Berquem at Brus 1s in 1465. Hardly any one* will assert boldly at no diamonds were cut before that tte, but It Is reasonable to suppose at Louis de Berquem regulated cut g by arranging the facets. Long before the -brth of' Louis de arquem cutting was known-in India ren n Europe we. find among the easues of 'the churches thick dia onds ut into table and culet, the >per sides beaten into sections.

The Deadly Poisoned Arrows of the Lissoo Sharpshooters. On the wild frontier between China and British Burma is a barbarous tribe which has no civilized supervision. George Forrest, an English traveler, thus describes the chief weapon of these people: "If I had to suggest a title for a book on the upper Saiwin I should call it 'The Land of the Cross bow,' which is the characteristic weap on of the country and the Lissoo tribe. Every Lissoo with any pretensions to chic possesses at least two of these weapons-one for everyday use in hunt ing, the other for war. The little chil dren play with miniature crossbows. The men never leave their huts for any purpose whatever without their cross bows. When they go to sleep the 'nu kung' Is hung over their heads, and when they die it is hung over their graves. The largest crossbows have a span of fully five feet and require r. pull of fnlly thirty-five pounds to string them. The bow is made of a species of wild mulberry of great toughness and flexibility. The stock, some four feet Ilong in the war bows, is usually of wild plum wood. The string is cf plaited hemp and the trigger of bone. The arrow, of sixteen to eighteen inches, is of split bamboo about four times the thickness of an ordinary knitting needle, hardened and pointed. The actual point is bare for a quarter to one-third of an inch, then for fully an inch the arrow is stripped to half its thickness, and on this portion poison is placed. "The poison is invariably a decoction expressed from the tubers of a species of aconitum which grows -on those ranges at an altitude of 5.000 to 10.000 feet. The poison is mixed with resin or some vegetable gumto the consist ency of putty and is then smeared on the notched point The 'feather' is sup plied by a strip of bamboo leaf folded into' a triangular form and tied in a notch at the end of the a'rrow, with the point of the angle outward. The re duction in thickness of the arrow where the poison is placed causes the point to break off in the body of any one whom it strikes, a.. i, as each car ries enough poison to kill a cart horse. a wound is invariably fatal. Free and immediate incision is the usual remedy when wounded on a limb or fleshy part of the body, but at Chengka the uncle of the Laowo chief showed us a prep aration which resembled opium dross and which he said was an e'ffective antidote. -"With few exceptions the Lissoo seemed to us to be arrant cowards. but the crossbow and poisoned arrow are certaiply most diabolical weapons. An arrow from a war bow will pierce a deal board an Inch thick at seventy or eighty yards. Some of the Tsekou natives were so expert that they could. hit a mark four inches in diameter re peatedly at sixty to eighty yards. As no one goes anywhere without his crossbow and his bearskin quiver full of poisoned arrows and as every vil lage is at feud with every other vil lage mutual suspicion is inevitable. In open fight the Lissoo are usually careful to keep at a respectful distance from each other and behind oxhide shields which protect the whole of the body. But if battle, is rare, murder and sudden death by ambush in the jungle are common." Drank and Remembered. A porter in a big New York ware house in Greenwich street was recent ly discharged for gettingdrunk and los ig a valuable parcel. The discharge sobered him instantly, coming as a sud den' hard shock.' He said he would take the oath never to touch liquor again, but his pleadings for reinstate ment were unheeded- He searched everywhere for the parcel, but could not recollect what disposition he had made of it. Of his honesty there had never been a question in twenty years.

The Way a Criminal Fooled a Paris j Police Chief. ye In the "Memories" of M. Claude, H chief of police during the reign of Na- P: poleon III., there is much that is fas- ni cinating to lovers of detective stories. ne One of M. Claude's experiences was th that in which he was outwitted by a t clever criminal who saw in the police di chief's resemblance to Beranuger when at the poet was at the height of his pop- 'a ularity a means of escape from cap- to ture. The criminal had returned to of Paris and was living as a rich student de in the Latin quarter, then in the height1 N of its bohemian splendor. Claude thought to make an easy capture of his man by attending a cer tain famous ballroom at the hour when pr dancing was at its height. He tells bu the story: no "I had no difficulty in discovering 1 him seated among a swarm of pretty fr3 girls and bewitching danseuses. wl "Convinced there were but two ways ra of getting the better of a cunning ene- sh my-surprise and audacity-I walked' straight up to where my rascal was a seated.

"The magic name presented upon P1 the youthful spirits there the effect of an electric spark. All the dancers of the establishment stopped dancing HI and surrounded me with acclamations' The students and young girls rushed up to me, some bearing bouquets. oth ers glass in hand. I was literally cov ered with flowers, while the whole place rang with shouts, a hundred times repeated, of 'Vive Beranger! VFive Beranger!' "I was aghast, and yet I understood the trick. On the point of being col lared by me, the man I had marked down had recourse to this shrewd game, which must have succeeded even better than he expected. I certainly had some points of resemblance to the illustrious song maker or the whole world of students and grisettes In the Latin Quarter would not have fallen so readily into his trap. I was as bald ( as the poet at that time, and at all times I have had a certain good na- t tured, sympathetic benevolence in my appearance such as the portraits of Beranger show to this day.
