the prices range from $500 for
small plain pipe, with amber moutI
piece, to $500 for an elaborate
carved Turkish Narghill. Some
the amber stems contain flies an
otherinsects imbeded in them. an
in one case there is display of jewe
ry and handsome chandelier of thi
beautiful gem. Just behind the di
play OF meerschaum is small cas-
which is apt to be overlooked. In i
however, j the largest opal in th
world. 1t !is, as near as l coul
judge by tAeeye. a little over thre
inches in length, by two in breadtl
is nearly half an inch in thicknes
and is valued at $4,000. 1t is beau
tiful, as alEspals are, and with it ar
shown anqther fine stone cut i
cameo, and|mother cameo in a brace
let surrounded with diamonds, EN-
eralds and rlbies, which seem to fint
reflection . the changing tints o
the opal. Frther back is case O

Here also is acase Of beautiful en-.

jewelry of ivry and ebony, with
settings of beg crystal of different
tints. There re several displays OF
chromos and ,ngravings. With the
latter are som specimens of wood
carving fromihe Tyrol. They are
not large, anlmuch of the carving
is in 6as retf and is very we'll done.
The rocking.hairs and other arti-
cles of bent ood attract considera-

several reclihg chairs for invalids,
which muste very comfortable, re-
sembling on of our invalid chairs
placed on ickers. The rocking
chairs are Perlatively "rocking."
They are wd poised, the center of
gravity beit well back, and the
rockers curtin front and rear like
the dashbof of a cutter. There

there is d the marked difference

step from Ie Turkish department to

nerable lbins hanging from the
small pins round which the pattern
$ worked. With the lace is some fine
silk and worsted, but
beyond ia still finer display of
inen, naery, and toweling. Then
'omes tt prints and other dress
FOODS, gves, hosiery, etc. The
how of ilks and velvets is very fine,
md it interesting to notice the
and patterns, since
hese gtds are all marked with the
lame othe market for which they
re into dded, and an opportunity is
hus abrded to study the tastes of
liffera nations. The brilliant hued
nd b,cade silks, gorgeous with sill
er all gold, intended for Eastern
lrkets, form a striking contrast to
e delicate tints, quiet, almost neu-
Il tints, of those designed for
nerica and France, showing the
mpathy of these two nations in
,tties of dress. The English like
nething a little more pronounced,
d the Germans form the connect
: link. The display of musical
,truments is much larger than that
Austria, and is very fine. The
jects most attractive to those who
We not professional interest, are
eyiolins made by those old masters,
Jacobus Stainer, ANA I
j, and Stradutrius. There are also
lumber of those melodious instru-
,nts, the Zithers, which are so
ely seen and more rarely heard in
IS country. The show of pianos is
ite extensive, and the number Of
