There is an ambitious Partisan politician
who desires to fight NJ. Cassagnac, the wen.
known duellist and editor. Cassagnac has
fought IA duels, with all kinds Of weapons
H. Clemenceau, who wants to fight him, has
often challenged him; and on the 1lth o.
May, in the Chamber of Deputies, Clemen-
ceau drew Cassagnac into dispute. Next
day Clemenceau published an insolent chal-
lenge in the Republican papers; to which
the caustic Paul de Cassagnac replied in
withering contempt: "You desire to be some-
body" says he; you are already doctor
without patients, writer without brsins,
speaker without o speech, SO you vant to
constitute yourself my sacriAcer; and on all
sides your party point you out saying, That

The Other day rustic individual came 70
London by train to witness the reception Of
The Prince of Wales. A man who had come
IN the same third-class carriage with him ad-
monished this rustic, when they were part
ing Just outside the London station, that he
should be very careful of his money, as many
thieves would be in the crowd "Oh," said
the rustic, ''nobody'n get my money; I
have only one pound, and mean to keep
that in my mouth" This remark was over
heard by one of our small but clever street
boys, who watched his opportunity, and
when the honest countryman had got . few
hundred yards on his way, suddenly scat
tered few pennies on the ground before
him, and began to pick them up again, cry
ing to the rustic as he did SO, "You gimme
that sovrin |" The rustic looked bewildered.
''You gimme that sovrin shouted the small
boy. II seen you pick it up and put it in
yer mouth" A crowd began to collect, and
asked the boy what was the matter. ''Why,"
cried the little rogue, II was agoin long
with one pun six-pence in my hand caTyin'
it to mother, n somebody run agin me an
knocked it all on the ground, n this man
be took up the sovrin' an seen i'm put it
in his mouth" The astounded rustic at
tempted to explain, but his voice was thick;
something plainly was in his mouth, and
an honest British public forced him to dis
gorge. The poor rustic was glad to get off
without his pound and with whole bones;
the boy went of with the gold in his pocket,
and the honest British public distributed it.

How Pebble Jewelry Is Made.

The following interesting facts con-
csrning manufacture Of pebble jew
elry," are taken from the British
Trade journal: The gold used by
jewellers is always alloyed with certain
proportion Of pure silver and the finest
copper according to the quality de-
sired. The jewsler melts his metals in
a cIucible and casts them into ingots
about two inches broad, three ipches
long, and one-sighth Of an inch
thick. The ingots are reduced to any
degree Of thlnness by being PISSED
between steel rollers. The sheets or
plates Of metal thus produced are
entrusted to q workman, who, guided
by drawings or models, clips out the
:ieces required for the various arti-
cles to be made. The pieces are
gwen, along with the designs, to 9TH
er workmen, who put them together.
These men are seated at large tables,
round the sides of which are q series
Of semi circular recesscs, each recess
being occupied by workman. AZ
ter the pieces are brought to the ex-
act size required, they are soldsred
together by means Of o blOw-pipe.
Articles Of an ornate character, such
a. brooches and bracelets covered
with designs in filigree work or in
land with pebbles, require great nice
~ of manipulation, and the number
OF parts which go to compose some
OF them is immense. Pebble brace
let's of a finely worked geometrical
pattern are made in which there are
no fewer than lGO pieces Of stone.
In making an article which is to be
inlaid with pebbles, the jeweler forms
back or foundation to which plate
pierced with apertures for the peb-
bles is fixed. u convenient space be-
lug left between the two plates. At
this stage the work is passed to the
lapidary, which cuts and fixes the
pebbles. The stones are first cut
with revolving disc of iron charged
with diamond dust and oil, and
roughly shaped with o pair of pinch
ers. Each piece is then taken in
succession and attacned to q cement
stick"-a small piece of wood with
quantity of strong cement on one
end. Held in that way the stone is
ground to the required shape ON q
revolving disc of lead charged with
emery and water. When all the
pieces are brough ght to the shape of
the aperture Designed for them they
are set in shellac. The outer sur
face has up to this time been left
rough, but after the cement has
hardened the lapids,y takes the
brooch in his hand and manipulates
it on the grinding disc until the stone
is reduced to the level Of the metal
which surrounds it. The surface is
next polished on a disc of tin charged
with rotten stone and water, and the
brooch is returned to the jeweler.
Usually pebble brooches have in the
centre a "cairngorm," or what is
supposed to be one. The cairngorms
are not "set" until the work on the
other parts of the brooch is all but
completed. The exposed surface
OF the metal face of the brooch is
usually relieved by engraved SCROLL
work. Enameled jewelry has recent
ly come into fashion to some extent,
and fine specimens have been pro-
duced, the Runic patterns especially
being very pretty.

conscientious Workmanship.

From the American Builder.
Chimneys require conscientious work
manship. Every joint should be careful
ly filled in with mortar, and the inside
smoothly plastered. 1t sometimes seems
as though no amount OF caution and
warning would be sufficient to prevent the
most criminal carelessness OIL the part OF
workmen; and, in some cases, the super
intendent OF building il grossly remiss
in his duty. Several years ago wealthy
gentleman Of Brooklyn, built fine and
costly mansion, and, having wholesome
and sensible fear Of FIRE, he spent much
timein guarding against this ever-present
source OF danger. He watched the con-
struction OF the chimneys from
bottom to top, and then, after
experimenting the place Of the heating
apparatus, he felt comparatively safe;
and yet the insurance companies were
called upon, ere long, to pay a loss OF
$4,000. The hearth bricks we're laid on
the joists, and they persisted in getting
hot, and dry wood will burn when ex.
posed TO fire; and fire under a floor is
a dangerous fire. Thus, in spite OF all
his precautions, our timid gentleman was
burned out. We have known instances
in Chicago where the builder and mason,
between them, succeeded in running
joists clear through into the chimney.
When such houses burn, as they must,
the newspapers say the FIRE was caused by
detective ilue, and nothing is said OF the
criminal carelessuess Of those who made
the Aue.
