1t is stated that owing to the pre-
sent depression Of business, alloys of
gold from four to twelve carats have
been extensively employed in the jew
elry manufacture. According to the
relative proportion of silver and copper
added in alloying, the yellow or red
color of the gold is regulated; fine
gold being taken as twenty, four carats,
eighteen-carat red gold consists of
eighteen parts fine gold, five and one
half parts fine copper, and one-half
part fine silver. The shade more or
less red is regulated by the greater or
less Quantity of silver. For yellow
gold there are added even quantities
of silver and copper to the eighteen
parts of fine gold, and the shade regu-
lated by copper. Green gold is made
by adding to the eighteen parts of fine
gold, silver alone; and blue gold,
though very difficult to make-due to
iron not making an intimate union
with gold-is produced by adding six
parts of iron to eighteen parts of fine
gold.

Whata Great NEWSPAPER Says of the
Coming Great Show.

Uuquestionably, by far the greatest Me-
nngerie and Circus that has ever visited this
place will reach here by its special trains, on
Wednesday, of th's aoSek, aud that is the
Great European Seven Elephant Railroad
Ex position OF the Sells Bros. It's proportions
are simply enormous, and its educational and
amusement resources almost beyond compu>
tation. 1t is also as superior in refinement
and elegance of presentation as 1t is over
shadowing in vastness, and comes recom-
men6ed and iudorsed in the highest and
most unquslfed terms by the entire press
wherever it has pitched its mammoth tents.
Such indisputabe authority as the Louisville
Courier journal. which in its issue of July
2lst, empa,caly praises it as follows:
'This world is but feeting show-Iike
wise the circus Sells Seven Elephant or :
ganlzation has come and gone. Its tents have
been struck. Tbe,musc has ceased. The
"ring" that but yesterday was the scene of so
much that entertained and astonished the
eager spectator is desolste and bare. The side
show organ has ground its last refrain aud
the weary ticket-tsker is at rest-unEil
tho next halt. The entire ''aggregation"
with its immense retinue of people, its chs>
riots, its canvas and all the infinite army of
animal phenomena, is now slowed away in
the train of thirty>two cars, awaiting convoy
in Indiana. 1t was big show really. There
we're many things that ent,tle it to pre>emi =
nence. There vas the leaping OF Rhinehart
who wears a beautiful god badge ss the
champion. There was the extraordinary co...
lection of animals Of tho rarest sort. and
Gobb's wonderful performing dogs (nnd it
may be said that Cobb is the only dog-rrsiner
whoNIas succeeded in developing the humor-
Gus in the canine pature.) But to cite all
the good points of the show would be to give
what Hamlet calls "a whole history"

unanimous verdict that it was one nf the

The FAT MESS C0NVEHTIOS.-Wc can
see some pleasure, if no reason, in the con-
veuing of baby show. but We confess We
could never see the slightest cause, ressOn-
able or otherwise. for fat mems convention,
unless i: be the fact that misery loves COM
psny. For fifty or hundred men, whose
several weights range from two hundred to
three hundred pounds, to hold a convention
simply because of SO much surplus Avoirdu-
pois. is absurd to say tho least. Il becomes
doubIy so when we reflect that obesity is q
disease. What would wo think Of as many
persons emacia.ed By consumption holding
convention TO compare their relative weights!
There IS but one ground upon which We
would Advocate another fat mems convention
and that is that they will meet to discuss
the merits of AIlsn's Anti>Fst, the only
known remedy for obesity. 1t is safe and
