ances, interviewing another mouse as
to the difficulties of his ambitious at
| tempt Another pin has two mice run
ming over a golden girdle, which, by
the adjustment of glowing topazes of
extreme smallness, and garnets equally
small, looks as though heated, which
would argue certain recklessness. to
say the least, on the part of the mice in
question. Still another pin has upon
it horrid little DEATHS head, in white
enamel, in which very diminutive
points glow behind the hollow sockets
of the eyes, and, upon examination,
prove to be two lighted cigars of ruby.
This is of French design. A fourth pin
has golden skeleton adjusted by invis-
ible wires, which jerks at every motion
of the wearer.
There IS Il certain fascination about
these weird pins that gives Une an un-
accountable desire to possess them.
Pin fifth has two skeletons dressed in
the masquerade dress of " Pantalon''
of the ballet, and with their caps set
jauntily crooked over their sightless
eyes.
A beautiful design is bird balancing
itself upon q silver-barred fence and
holding in its beak a spray of coral
berries. Another equally pretty has
two unfurled fans at the end, and in the
center "carbuncle stone" An odd
pin has two heads of negro children in
black enamel, with diamond eyes and
grinning mouths with teeth of ivory.
One of the most curious and costly,
and most difficult 10 keep from injury,
owing to its mechanism, is slide upon
which are set two jeweled eyes, imita-
ting human eyes, shaded with lashes
and eyebrows of enamel, and which
move from side to side by tiny spring
that the motion of the wearer stirs.
The effect is odd, and is that of rolling
rather than simply turning the eye
from side to side, yet the exquisite
beauty of the crystals, colored to repre-
sent the ball, iris and pupil, is a tri-
umph of the jewelers. art.
A very handsome pin has a Turks
head, with a superb Oriental turban.
The care Of selection of the tiny, many
hued jewels that make up the stripes
and aigrette of the turban must have
been toilsome, but the effect is singular
ly good. A brilliant affair is a party
colored enamel pin, with several spread
cards held in mans hand,-M 7.

Endless Gold.

Brown always declared that he would
penniless himself, his friends didn't
been known 10 tell an untruth. One
evening at political meeting he made
the acquaintance Of great cotton lord,
Sir Calico Twill, and happening to say
''1ear, hearp in the right place several
times whilst Sir Calico was speaking, the
old gentlman took a fancy to him, and
asked him home to supper. There he
met his hosts daughter, a charming
young lady with eight thousand a year,
fell desperately in love with her, pop
ping the question in the conservatory,
and was referred to her papa.
"Beforc take the matter into consid-
eration," said Sir Calico, when Brown
had stated his case, "you must answer
me one question. What is your for
tune {"
"Well, 1 don't exactly know" an
swered Brown, being uncertain whether
that was a three penny or four penny
under his tobacco jar at home but let
your daughter become my wife, and l
promise she shall have endless gold"
Endless gold is rather an exaggera-
ton, eh," remarked Sir Calico.
Scarcely in my case" said Brown, "as
let my wife and 1 be as extravagant as
we light, we should never be able to
get through it,"
care you telling me the truth%
"The truth, | swOw."
"Then take her, my boy" said Sir
Calico, grasping Browns hand, "and
happy l am that my child has been
saved from the clutches of rogues and
fortune hunters"
Well, they were married, and Brown
made the money fly at such rate that
when his wife's milliner's bill came in
he was obliged to confess himself
stumped. Mrs B. Immediately sent for
whats this?D said Sir Calico,
stumped? What do you mean, sir?

"Tve kept my promise" answered
Brown"
"Kept yonr promise, and can't find
the money to pay paltry milliners
bill. Why-you-you-"
"Calm yourself, old boy" interrupted
Brown. 81 promised to give your daugh-

"Why, 1 gave her a wedding ring

proaeh of q person. Their treatment
should be such as that they will actual
" learn to entertain an affection for
their keeper, and if they do, they will
naturally be tame and docile. A flock
of wild sheep is about the most un-
profitable investment that afarmer can
make. They are continually getting
themselves into some trouble, and Csaus-
ing great annoyance, if not loss, to
their owner.
We have seen some f1ockmen jrmp
into flock and pull and haul the sh eep
by the wool until the animals were not
only half frightened to death, but guf-
fered great injury otherwise. A 81 leep
should never be caught or lifted by the
wool. Some one has said that if ny
one doubts the improperly of lfftin 8 q
sheep by the wool, just let him per nit
himself TO be lifted by the hair, and it
is a good suggestion. When sheep are
thus caught or lifted, the skin in so me
instances is actually torn from the
flesh, and if the injury is not to that
extent it cannot but affect the flesh to
some degree.
A sheep should be lifted by placing
the arms around the body and near the
forelegs. This is the easiest way to do.
especially with large sheep. To catch
the animal, the hands should be thrown
about the neck, or else the sheep should
be caught by the hind leg Immediately
above the hook. This latter may bo
done with the hand or the crook, and
when this way is adopted the utmost
gentleness should be observed, and the
sheep gently drawn back until the other
hand can reach the neck. 1t is scarce
ly necessary to remind the keeper that
when the crook is used upon a sheep
which is closely surrounded by other
sheep, that great care must be exer-
cised lest the other sheep Jump against
the one caught or against the crook, in
which case severe damage may be done

Porfraffs of Christ.

The gospels giving not the least hint
as to the personal appearance of Christ,
two entirely different conceptions grew
up very early in the Christian church,
though probably not at the very same
time. The one, born of the church
under persecution, representing the
ascetic aspect of Christianity, and re-
ferring back to the twenty-second Psalm
and the ifty-third chapter of Isaiah,
imagine Christ homely, not to say hid
eous, and explained the instantaneous
and overwhelming impression which
be often made on his fellow mea as the
dominant effect of his hidden divinity.
The mother, born Of the triumphant
church, representing Christianity after
the FIRST Incorporation Of Greek and
Roman civilization, and referring back
to the forty-ffth Psalm and the Song of
solomon, imagined Christ as the perfect
ideal Of manly beauty, and n e
sudden and eomplo.

substances known to be compound
yield changed spectra under changed
conditions. Other substances, hereto
fore supposed to be elementary, act in
tie same way when subjected to the

which chemists must explain. And we
may add that it IS the only fact that
requires explanation, for the previous
announcement that the spectrum of one
metal has been obtained by the
spectrum of another metal was
wholly incorrect. Nothing at all

desires, viz love, fortune or position.
The man who marries for love, takes q
wife who marries for fortune, takes q mis-

his mistress, tolerated by his lady. He
has wife for himself, mistress for his

His wife will take care Of his household,
his mistress his house, his lady of his ap-
