Thought It Was Very Funny to Fire the Hayrick. Practical joking. "the meanest form of wit." Is common In Hungary. For merly the pranks used to be coarse, If not dangerous, but that Is changing now. The only saving grace of the Magyarian practical jokes, says W. B. F. Bovili In "Hungary and the Hun garlans," Is that they are not perpe trated in a spirit of bitterness. One of the most famous jokers of the old school was Jozsa CyurL. Exiled in one of the most inaccessible parts of the great plain. he lived and died. "a prodigal and a buffoon." A story is told of Jossa going to spendi a night with a Count Keglevich. Wishingr to be Impressive, he journey ed thither in a beautiful new coach, of which he was very proud. On being shown over the grounds by the count his attention was directed to a remark ably fine hayrlek. Hay was then standing at a good price. After sup per Jossa drew together some friends. and the rick was soon nothing but a heap of ashes. The next morning when Jozsa want ed to continue his journey his won derful carriage was not to be seen anywhere. "Why, my friend." said the count. "you yourself burnt It last night. The fact Is my coach house wants repair. ing, and as the evening gretened to be wet we put your carriage under the rick to keep It dry." Mr. F. G. Fritz, Oneonta, N. Y., writes: "My little girl was greatjv ben eited by taking Foley's Orino Laxa tive, and I thiuk is is the best remedy for constipation and liver rtrouble." Fol' o's Orino Laxative is mild, pleasant aid effective, and cures habitual consti pation. W. E, Brown & Co. Geor~ge I. and the Stage. (;eorge L. was a lover of the stage and,. as his predecessors had done caused his "eservants" to play before him at court. In 173 his majesty or dered the great hall of Hampton Couri to be converted for the time into a fheater. There, under the directIon ol Steele, "whose political services had~ been poorly recompensed by granting him some theatrical privileges," sever performances were given. Among tht .plays were "Hamlet," "Sir Court13 ic,"The Constant Couple," "Lovt For oney,""V.ipone" and "Rule Wife an'd Have a Wife." Among the players were Colley Cibber. Pinketh man, Johnson, Thurmond. Booth p(lia, Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Younger In former times the fee paid by 'th< overeign to his servants for a pla3 acted at Whitehall had been ?20. Foi these plaryr at Hampton Court Kini George. besides paying the actors theit ordinary day's wage and traveling ex penses. gave ?350 and added ?200 foi the managers. The players were re quired to act at any time upon receiv 1ng a day's notice. C. R. Kluger, the Jewler, 1060 X'ir ginia, Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., writes "I wvas so weak from kidney trouble tha: I could hardly walk a hundred feet Four bottle of Foley's Kidney Remned: cleared my complexion, cured my back ache and the irregularities disappear ed, and I can now attend to busines: eery day and recommend Foley's Kid nev Remedy to all sufferers, as it cure< me after the doctors and other remned THE DIAMOND CUTTER. His Skill Has Much to Do With the Brilliancy of the Gem. When the expert looks at a diamond he can tell you in a moment where It came from and even whether It was cut lately or son.- .ears ago. He knows by Its color whence It comes. for the color of the Brazilian diamond differs from that of the South African. and even In South Africa different col ors are found in different mines. In the rough the diamond has little brilliancy, for there is a crust that must be cut away before it can prop erly refract the light, and It Is this power of refraction which makes the brilliancy of a diamond and has er erything to do with Its value in the market. The skill of the diamond cut ter has much to do with brin-ing out this brilliancy. He must do the most he can with the rough stone before him and lose as little as possible of the precious weight in the stone. Diamonds are found In all kinds of queer shapes. for the carbon may be in any position while being crystalliz ed, and the act of crystallIzation may affect only parts of that carbon. When the expert cutter has a rough diamond before him he judges almost instantly how it will cut to the greatest ad vantage. It it Inclines to the pear shape he will make a pear shaped dia mond of it. If It be square or round the cutting will folow the natural lines as closely as possible, so that the loss may be reduced to a minimum. To make the stone as brilliant as possible the diamond cutter cuts many facets so as to refract the light from as many points as he can. A full cut brilliant has at least forty-eight facets. and so expert are the cutters that they often cut diamonds so small that It re quires a hundred to weigh a carat Each has forty-eight facets.-Cleve land Plain Dealer. SARATOGA'S SPRINGS. The Water Was First Used by the in dians as a "Cure." The Saratoga Springs "cure" ante dated the settlement of this commu nity by the white man, when the High Rock spring .-as only a bubbling springlet. drunk at first by the Indans as a fresh water spring. Finding that their health was Improved by the wa ter, they bethought them that It must have medicinal quaities, and from that tima aa sick Indians were brought to High Bock spring for the healing of their ills. The "outward and visi ble sign" that Impressed the red men was the deposit of the salts of the wuter about the spring in the form of a cone, called tuin, which still exists and from which It received Its name and through and over which the water bubbles to this day. N In 190 the Congress spring was die covered and became renowned the world over ad a saline cathartic. This, combined with the sulphurous Iron water of the Putnam spring. made Saratoga Springs famous as the lead ing health resort of the United States. The remainder of the thirty-five min eral springs were discovered from time to time, and all have a wide therapeu tic application In the treatment of al most all chronic diseases and are di i-ided into four groups according to their component parts. These groups are: First, sodc murlated. alkaline aline, catharti'c; second. sodic. calcic, murlated, alkaline saline; third, cha lybeate; fourth, sulphur. - National Mgerine._ Living Over Catacombs. Paris, in many of its districts, is built over the catacombs, says Har per's Weekly. These vast subter ranean chambers and galleries produce that peculiar cavernous sound which is heard in the Tuxmaourg, Montpar nase, Vaugirard, Montrouge and Montsouris quarters when heavy carts pass rapidly along the coarsely metaled roads. The streets are then like monstrous drums beating funeral marches to the grave over that vast common grave of ten centuries of Parisians with its millions of skeleton dead. That quaint little Gothic house at the corner of the Boulevard Bas pail, which many an A merican artist must remember from his student days. actually has a private staircase lead ing to the catacombs from beneath ai hermetically closed stone slab just in front of the doorstep.
