Masculine Jewelry In Europe

Observing Americans note revival of
rings, bracelets and lavish colors in con-
tinental society. Young men at the the
aters are conspicuous when they stand,
as is the custom on the continent. with
their opera glasses levelled at the house,
for bracelets on their wrists, jewels on
their hands, with the slender golden
chain which became the fashion among
ladies not long ago. In the revived fres-
Goes of Pompeii the same thing may be
seen. Young Romans fastened the
sleeves of their togas with gems, and
covered their bare arms from the wrist
to the elbow with fiilets of gold and jew
elsl The craving ambition of every man
under monarchy is for decoration. A
meeting of Parliament is spectacle of
such personal bedizenment as the wild
est caricature could not surpass. So great
a mind as Disraeli's could not be weaned
from the craving for adornment. As a
youth he was plastered with jewelry in
the house, as an earl he was covered
with the most outre insignia of his or
der in the Peers. A session OF any one
of the great orders of the Bath, the This

score different companies invented by
sovereigns to stimulate the ardor and

A Beautiful Tribute to Woman.

Place her among the flowers, foster
her as tender plant, and she is thing
of fancy, waywardness and folly--an-
noyed at a dew-drop, fretted by the
touch of butterhy's wing. ready to
faint at the sound of beetle or rattling
of window at night, overpowered by
the perfumes of rosebud. But let q
real calamity come, arouse her affections,
enkindle the fires of her heart, and mark
her then! How strong is her heart!
Place her in the heat of battle, give her
a child, a bird or anything to protect,
and see her in relative instance lifting
her white arms as a shield, as her own
blood crimsons her upturned forehead
praying for her own life to help the help
less. Transplant her to the dark pla !: es
of the earth, call her energies to action,
and her breath becomes healing, her
presence is blessing. She disputes
inch by inch the strides of stalking
pestilence, when the strong, the brave,
the noble, pale and affrighted shrink
away Misfortunes haunt her not; she
wears away life of silence aud endur-
ance; and goes forward with less timid-
ity than for her bridal. In prosperity
she is bud full of odors, waiting for
the wings of adversity to scatter them
abroad-gold, valuable, but untried in
the furnace. In short, woman is amira-
Gle, mystery, a center from which radi-
ates the charm of existence.

of aristocracy in this matter you are
assaulting the best democratic system
that ever has been devised, and you are
supporting the most inherently aristo-
cratic system that the sun shines upon
to-day. But there are other considera-
tions. One man cries out, 'tWhat is to
become of the great democratic party?"
and another cries, "Good heavens, what
is to become of the great republican
party?" My friends, if 7 thought so
poorly of the party to which I belong, as
to think that it would be ruined by
righteous and just reforms, would quit
that party. If it can be broken up by
practicing pure and simple justice, then
let it be broken up. do not see that

to the mark on this question. If man

say, II will never vote for you if I car

CREMATION has not, as
yet, come into popular favor il this
country, and it has made even less head
way in England. Eight or ten years
ago Sir Henry Thompson and others
established society to introduce crema-
tion into England. Some thousands of
dollars were spent in the erection of q
crematorium, but, down to the present
time, only one body has been cremated
and that the body of dead horse. The
residents at Woking, where the crema-
torium was built, petitioned for the re-
moval or closing up Of the furnace as
soon az they became aware of its in
tended use, but being unable to show
that it was public nuisance, their petit
ton was not granted. Legislation has
been had in England, however, sur
rounding cremation with certain safe
guards. which grew out of the COM
| plant that the victims of poisoners
| might be readily cremated and evidence
of guilt thus destroyed. There are few
| private crematoriums in England and
human bodies have from time to time
been burned in them. Sir Henry Thomp-
son is not discouraged by the lack of in
terest manifested in his undertaking by
the public, and he proposes to have his
establishment at Woking completed by
the addition of chapel, mortuary and
waiting rooms.

President White ON C.VIl.SerVice Re
form.

There are in this room, I trust, some
good, substantial, hardy laboring men
there are men engaged in business IN the
streets, there are men who labor early
and late to get an honest living and
bring up stheir children in the fear of
God and with love for their fellow-men.
Let me ask every one of you what earthly
chance you have to get you son worthy
position in the public service? 1 fling
back this charge in your faces-I tell
You, you cannot do it. Suppose you had
q son in school who is good, sound
boy, you would like to have him enter
the service of the country. He perhaps
has not the qualities to fit him for
lawyer or clergymen, but he could serve
his country well in some subordinate
Office. You write letter to some mem
ber of Congress, or some senator, or
some member of the administration, and
you say, my boy has all these qualities,
and your neighbors certify to it. What
earthly chance has your boy? Not one
Particle. Where is the aristocracy? I
will tell you. Who is the one appointed?
1t is the man, nine times out of ten, who
has pulled the wires in the caucas,
the man who plays the tricks. l
do not mean to say that this
is always the case; mean that this is
the sort of claim that is recognized. We
want it here as it is In some other coun-
tries, we want it so that the son of the
poorest man is equal to the son of the
richest man in the race for such posi-
tions. We talk about aristocracy in
England. But what is the main outcome
of this system there. Look at it. Be-
fore civil service reform, great number
of the government offices were filed with
nabobs' sons and noodles appointed ut
the request, nay, at decree and command
of the aristocracy. 1t was nice place
for the sons of the aristocrats. Lord so
and so could come to the minister and
say want my youngest son appointed.
The poor mans son had no chance. But
now If the lords son wants to get an Of
fee he has to work for it. He sits down
on bench beside the poor artison's son,
and the man who passes an examination
goes on, whether he is an artisan son or
q lords son. So it should be here. The
son of the poorest laborer, of the poorest
artisan, of the struggling clergyman,
who cannot bring to bear the influence
with which to procure the desired APP
pointment, may sit down on the bench
with the son of the governor or the sena
tor. and ifsuccessful, may be chosen to
serve his country in an honorable posi-
ton. This is what is proposed by civil

The Rignis or Travellers.

The decision, just reported, of the
New York Court of Appeals in the Auer
bach case is full of interest for those
travellers by rail who avail themselves,
as SO many do in summer, of ''limited"
or excursion tickets. The plaintiff, Mr..
Auerbach, of St. Louis, bought COIL
pom ticket to New York which bore upon
its face the condition that the purchaser
should 'suse it on or before Septem ber
26, 1871" In the course of his journey
ing Mr.. AuerEach used up one coupon
after another until he found himself. on
the afternoon of the 26th, on the New
York Central train at Rochester with the
coupon from that city to New York. The
coupon was accepted and punched by
the conductor as the several stations
were passed where the duty is performed,
until the train reached Hudson shortly
after midnight. The conductor then de-
clared that the ticket was no longer
valid, demanded fare for the rest of the
trip, and upon Auerbach's refusal put
him off. Thereupon he brought suit for
damages, and it is the final decision in
his favor the report of which has just
been published. The court holds that
the ''use" of the ticket on the afternoon
of the Goth, when he offered it to the
conductor, was tbs 'use" contemplated
by the restriction. When this evidence
that he had paid his fare was presented
the ticket had performed its office. If
the company meant by its limitation
that the passenger must finish his jour.
ney before the expiration of the day
fixed, they should have said so.
The chief interest IN this decision is,
of course, that it settles the law--so far,
at least, as New York is concerned--and
apprises ticket buyers what their rights
are. It is interesting, however, in an
other aspect. 1t tends to revive the
confidence of the people in the old
fashioned theory, concerning which they
have been driven into doubt, that "the
law is the perfection of common sense. -
The decision is SO palpably common
sense one that it is not easy to see how
an intelligent railroad conductor could
have created any occasion for making it.

CEsARs FoRTs.-About q hundred
years ago, some forts were discovered
which is supposed to be similar to those
described by Ceasar. These we're found
in Scotland, but similar to those found
in France, Thuringia, Bohemia and
other places on the continent. These
forts were contructed of both wood and
stone, the wood being placed crosswise,
forming circular wall. and then the
stone being thrown upon this, the stone
protecting the wall, and keeping it from
being burned. Recently, other forts
have been discovered near Bingen on the
Rhine. The walls of these forts. as dis
covered, are verified; and supposition
is that the enemy, in attacking the forts,
set fire to the wood, burned the inhabi-
tants, and left the walls as vitrifed
mass. The vitrifcation of the walls would
of course preserve them, and SO we have
visible ruins of those very forts which
Julius Caesar attacked and destroyed

A MOUSE IN GIRLS HAT.-From the
Boston Herald we learn that young
lady of Chelsea, who had been shopping
in Boston, visited the Office of promi-
nent physician recently. She was
flushed with, excitement and said she had
a very strange sensation which led her to
apprehend some serious brain trouble
in short, insanity. The peculiar sensa-
tion she described was feeling running
round in circle on the top of her head
The doctor took off her hat and examined
her head, but found nothing, and she re-
marked that the sensation had left her.
She put on her hat, and, after sitting a
few moments, jumped up with scream,
saying that it had come agair.
Another examination followed, first OF
the head, then of the hat, and in the hat
small but active mouse was discovered
If we can only convey the impression to
all ladies who wear large hats to the
theater that they are liable to be infested
with mice, we shall have earned the
thanks of thousands. This little story is
true.

THE Boss Corn CRoP.--The yield of
corn this year, it is thought, from the
most reliable information that can be
obtained, win be the largest ever known
in the country's history. The crop OF
1879 reached l, ,754, ,e00, 900 bushels, and
was the largest ever produced up to that
time. In 1880 there was a falling off of
about 81 900. 900 bushels, and in succeed
ing year of 1901 the crop only reached
1.194 600, 900 bushels, which was very
heavy decrease. The crop of the present
year is estimated at 1900, 900 900, which
is an increase of so per cent. over the
production of 1901, and per cent over
that of 1880.

A BIT TO MAKE THE Mourn

II DIT To MAKE THE MOUTH W AIER.
Delicious chocolate macaroons are
made by melting slowly, and with care,
three ounces of plain chocolate. A good
way to melt it Is to put it in tin dish
and set it within another containing hot
water. Make thick paste by stirring
in gradually one pound of powdered
sugar and the well beaten whites of three
eggs, then spread or roll it as smooth as
possible to sheet about a quarter of an
inch thick. Cut it in small, round and
fancy-shaped pieces; butter your tins
and scatter little -four and sugar over
the bottom (use equal quantities of eaeh)
and lay the macaroons on. Bake IN q hot
oven, but avoid having it hot enough to
scorch them.

CHIN, CHIN.

Tying her bonnet under her chin
She tied her raven rinslets in.
But not alone in the silken snare,
Did she catch her lovely floating hair,
For tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied a young mans heart within.
And many time that little chin
He's beard from since, you bet and win
And bonnets she's had for her raven hair,
And many time he's been called a bear;
And now she is throwing her ringlets back,
And says she shall have sealskin sacque.
