Woman ON street Car Disagree.


Editor Star:-Since zone of the tortured" has
set that street car ball to rolling, feel like
giving 1t friendly push by way OF keeping it
In motion: have something against the con.

Since street cars first were, the complaint has
oeen OF the ".connan who won't move up" or OF

some perfect gentleman" has sacrificed his

sance-the man who spreads over enough space
for two. We are so tired of the "ungrateful
woman" and OF her unladylike indifference to
the TACT that some magnanlmous he has given
Der bis place, that we have determined to seize
the next gentleman who thus sacrifices him
self In our behalf, and compel him 10 listen to
an ode on gratitude, which we have with gre at

ELECTRICAL JEWELRY.

Every one is more or less acquain-
ted with the advantage made in the
use Of electricity, particularly in
the way of lighting and as motive
power, but few would ever have
suspected that it was likely 10 be
applied to purposes CT personal adj
ornment. Such however, is the
case, fer NJ. Trouve has found the
means Of applying it in most in
genious manner to certain articles
of jevelry. The applications Of it
are comparatively unlimited, but a
description ofa few articles will
suffice to give the reader an idea Of
this invention. Take first Of all, a
breastpia, consisting Of deaths
head enamelcd, witis movable eyes
of diamonds or rabies, and the
lower jaw articuiated. at the
pleasure Of the wearer, by means
to be described presently, it can
be made to roll its eyes and chat
ter its gunilcss teeth. Another pin
is surmounted by small golden
drum, on which is seated on its
tail a little rabbit holding in It's
fore paws two d,ums.icks, with
which it beats a tattoo when the
electric curren is applied. A third
is an ornament for o ladv,s hair
consisting Of bird covered all
over with diamond points, which
on completing the circuit, Rutiors
its wings and produces curious
effect. One OF these was made for
the Princess &C Metternich. But
the curious part Of the invention is
the battery by which these objects
arc put in motion. Each of them
is attached to an invisible wire,
easily concealed in the garments or
hair, the other end of Which is con-
nected with minute battery. This
apparatus is not bigger than aepea-
Gil case, and can be easily carried
unseen III the waistcoat pocker. 1t
consists Of tu,e hermetica!ly
sealed containing In the upper
