A Polite DUeUnricr.
"It Is possible,'' said a New York
man, "to be polite always. It Is pos
i sible to be polite eveu when dlscharg
I ing u Uruuken coachman. I know that
| this is so, for I have seen the thing
I i'orie.
> "A friend of mine found himself
obliged to get rid of his coachman for
drunkenness. He summoned the man
into his presence and discharged him
with this polite speech:
" '1 fear, Montgomery, that we must
part. It has been Impossible for me to
avoid noticing that several times dur
ing the past month you have been? er
; -sober. Now, I don't believe that anj
i man can attend properly to drinking If
he has driving to do, and, therefore, at
the month's end you will be free to de
j vote yourself exclusively to your cho
| sen occupation." "
Catting: Jewels Under Water.
"The precious stone workers of Ger
many are among the most Interesting
persons I have ever seen when engaged
In cutting their jewels," said a well
known traveler. "The principal Indus
try Is at Freiburg, on the edge of the
Black forest, in which the precious
stones are found. The principal Jew
els are amethyst lapis lazuli and mala
chite. The process of cutting them Is
the interesting part of the work. All
of tbeni are cut under water. The
jewel cutters lie flat upou their stom
achs while at work, with their hands
i under water, holding the stone which
! is being prepared, and the motion of
! the wheel does the cutting. The action
I of the water makes the process more
| rapid and at the same time leaves a
i better surface than if cut In the air."

A Story of Joe Mnnlrr.
Chief Justice Fuller of tlie I'nited |
States supreme court was on a visit to ,
Maine some years ago and while there 1
was entertained by Joe Manley. Mr.
Manley was held in great reverence by
his fellow citizens all over Maine and
especially lu Augusta, his home. He
took- Mr. Fuller for a drive about the
place, but was forced by a pressing
business engagement to leave his guest
before the drive was finished. When
Mr. Manley had disappeared the driver
turned to the Judge, whom he did- not
know, and, drawing out a cigar, said:
"I suppose you don't mind If I smoke.
When we are driving Mr. Manley we
never light up, because he's rather a
distinguished citizen.*' Fuller repress
ed a laugh and told the driver to go
ahead, which he did. Later the chief j
Justice retailed the Joke to Mr. Man y,
who at the first opportunity told the j
driver a few things, winding up, "You j
miserable three ply idiot, that was the j
chief justice of the United States."
Bear* That Fish For Salmon.
Alaska's brown bears near the Bering
sea live lprgely on salmon and are ex
traordinary fishers. Before beginning
to fish they always place themselves
on the downward side of the river.
"They seem to smell the salmon by
some extraordinary means," says a
hunter, "and then begiu dashing in and j
out of the river at some shallow place,
rarely failing to catch a flsh. They
bring it out on the bank and devour it.
If possible selecting some thick patches
of bushes and grass in which to make
their meal, which does not take them
long."
