They are the fashion now, and, if not
diamonds, then some other ornament.
You have observed the classic style of
hair dressing in vogue. This gives an
opportunity for the display of orna-
ments in the hair, and hairpins are
requisite. Bands of ancient coins,
gilded or made of gold to resemble
ancient coins, with hairpin at each
end of the bangle, are popular; but we
are busiest resetting jewels in hairpins,
and, as diamonds show best in silver,
and as silver now is made i'm many
tones of color, we are using it most.
1t is wonderful what progress has been
made in the coloring of silver You
can now get silver daisies, pansies,
violets, fuchsia, ivy leaves, and prim-
roses, with their natural colors. Ihave

ries clinging to it, and tiny dewdrop

deep yellow of the sunfower can be
shown in silver, as well as the brightest
red. There are some good diamond
effects obtained now in the cutting of
the jet, a popular ornament with
blondes, and the hairpins of jet flash
brightly. In insects we have hairpins
in garnets, to represent butterflies, and
our malachite beetles are very realistic
sBut imitation kills off fashion. New
York shop girls and many other young
women readily buy clever limitations of

LOnuon world.
The upper chamber of the legislature
has OF late disylaped a curious DISPOSE
ton for violating the sanctity of en-
tails and setting at naught the incon-
venlent wisdom of its ancestors. The
peers were aghast at rabbits being pro-
nounced vermin and at the right being
granted to farmers to shoot them with
as much freedom and impunity as if
they were Irish process-servers. But to
tie up an estate in order that it may go
to a son who has been rioting in post
o6its, or to a far away cousin whose
name is an abomination is quite another
matter, Lord Cairns bill paves the
way for all this, and when the owners
of the Woodstock library and the
Hamilton Palace art treasures are per-
mltted to put them up to auction the
peers must be verging on the revolu-
tionary. ''Vathek, England's wealth
lest son." sold Fonthill for much the
same reason that his great-grandson
sells for q second time so many of its
choicest contents. Horace Walpole's
Strawberry Hill toy shop, the curiosi-
ties in which he strived vainly to keep
out of Beckford's rival collection, went

than gimcracks. Stowe-and many a
vast bookstore since-shared the same
fate. But this is really the first time
that a great historic house has been
dismantled simply and solely to raise
money, and this, too, with the acquies-
cence of the three estates of the realm.
And there are evidences around us that
it will not be the last. We are coming
on iron times. Scrimp rents, or none
at all, will not admit of the luxury of
huge mansions full of treasures costly
to keep, and yielding to those, who
rarely inhabit them, barely the interest
of pleased glance, but which hum
dreds of wealthy parvenus are eager to
buy for lordly price. Every acre of
land which is in the market is eagerly
snapped up-bargain or no bargain
so long as it confers some social pres
tige on the new men; and tomorrow.
were all the old domains to be freed
from the dead hands grasp, they
would find purchasers, despite the fact
of their being the poorest of invest
ments, and not the most perfect of secu-
rites.

The Dead Letters and What Becomes OF
Them.

The Dead Letters and What Becomes of
Them.
New York Times.
What becomes of all the dead lettersp
Everybody knows that there are mil
lions of them. Last year, to be exact,
there were 1888, 204. Doubtless, most
people think that the law of 1866 ("dead
letters shall be restored to the writer's
thereof free of postage'') furnishes a
satisfactory reply to the question. But,
as matter of fact, during the same
twelve months 1926, APO dead letters
were destroyed" As Mr.. Weller
frequently said, or would have said, on
such occasions as this. That's VERY
singular" The subject is opened here
and now not so much because of its
general interest to every user of the
from total and undeserved obscurity a
bill introduced in the senate day or
two ago by the chairman of the post
Office committee, Mr. Ferry, of Michi-
gan. Senator Ferry proposes to re-
enact, in effect, the law of 1860, and
there is not the slightest doubt that a
popular vote, could one be taken,
would declare his purpose laudable
one. We are perfectly well aware that
of such dead letters so destroyed 1876
Ala are scheduled as containing ''noth-
ing of value But we are wholly I'M
able to believe that there were lunatics
enough in all these United States to
take the trouble to write and post over
two million letters containing nothing
of value" Or, even if there be so
many, why, we beg to inquire, should
the insane writer's of 621, 239 other dead
letters, containing nothing of value
receive them back again? Admirable
as our postoffice is in many ways, it is,
in the nature of things, incapable of
deciding what the value of letter may
be to its writer. Nobody mails any
thing for the purpose of having it de-
stroyed. Nothing should be neglected
to enable everyone who pens letter to
feel secure that if he does not get it
back again it has arrived at it's destina-
ton. But how can there be any such
feeling of security when so many as
2,250,000 letters are annually destroyed
by the agency to whose care they are
intrustedp

They might forever hold us.
Good night we answer back and smile,

The wistful queries rise.

When we are hid from sight,
Will clasp these little hands and kiss

More Fancy Farmers Needed.


Among the men in this country who
were classed as fancy farmers at an
early day, were Washington, jefferson,
Franklin and Livingstone. The first
introduced mules; the second, the
cultivation of improved rice; the third.
use of land plaster; the fourth. the
raising of lucerne. More than any men
of their time did they add to the wealth
of the country. After them came
another race of fan CIV farmers. who
introduced Arabian horses, Spanish
sheep and the improved breeds of
English cattle and swine. These fancy
farmers add immensely to the wealth
of the practical farmers of the country.
What we want, to develop the agri-
culture and horticulture of the country
to their fullest extent, is large number
of fancy farmers-men who work for
pleasure rather than for private gain.
These are the men who will make
experiments, and give the world the
benefit of them; these are the men who
will carry on Investigations for the sake
of investigating; these are the men who
bring In new vegetables, grains, fruits
and varieties of animals; these are the
men who will devote their time and
money to the improvement of old varie-
ties and the creation of new ones. The
country is sadly in need gilmore fancy
farmers.
