Novelty in NeclIaces.

Some ill-intormed persons have boon
surprised, says the London ECening
Standard, by the recent intelligence that
bridegroom gave the bridesmaids
necklaces made out of the insides of
old watches" This inexpensive sort of
jcwelry has become rather fashionable.
Not only necklaces, but earrings and
pendants, are made out of that part of
the old watches which made a kind of
inner cover or sheath of the works.
Though not wrought of gold as a rule,
this covering was always very prettily
chased and covered with pleasant ara
basque work. Probably watchmakers
have for many years thrown away this
part of the old works as useless Some
person of ingenuity thought Of string
ing the bits of metal into ornaments, and
now they are worn and may be seen in
the windows OF bric-a-bric shops. The
old jewelers. and watchmakers' shops in
country towns are ransacked for the
trinkets, which at first were very cheap
indeed, but now holders are firm and
prices have risen considerably. The new
fashion might give Mr.. Ruskin text in
showing the indestructible value Of
good work and good ornament. Such
ornament and work were expended by
the craftsmen of a century ago, even on
parts of the objects they make which
were not meant to meet the eye. We nc
longer adorn the interiors of oul
watches thus, and ladies are glad tc
make personal ornaments of things
never intended for that purpose.

A Young nnctor's Bill.

A romantic story is told by the Chicago
Inter Ocean. The charming daughter of
a wealthy gentleman residing in the SUI
burbs of Chicago was seriously i'll, and
finally her case was pronounced hope
less by all the eminent doctors sum-
moned to attend her. As last resort a
young physician of the place was called
in. He modestly but emphatically de-
clared his ability to save the patient, and
he was entrusted with the case. Con-
slant watchfulness and unremitting at
tention were crowned with success. In
week the invalid began to improve;
two weeks found her out of danger; in
three weeks she could sit up, and at the
end of four weeks she was we'll and could
take long drives with her devoted doc
tor He had indeed redeemed his
pledge-had saved his charge. Here is
the sequel:
One day, after the complete recovery
of the young lady was positively as
sured, the father called the young doc
tor into his library. Taking him by the
hand, he said: "Young man, you have
saved my daughter. told you that if
you did so you~yould be compensated at
whatever price you choose to fix your
services. am now ready to carry out
my part of the agreement, as you have
so nobly done your work" "Do you
really wish to pay me my own price"
asked the young doctor, anxiously. "Tn-
deed, do, sir" Then 1 ask you
to give your daughter to me in mar.
rage, was the unexpected request. The
| old gentleman was naturally little
astonished at the nature of the answer.
He hesitated moment, then touched a
bell. A servant answered. "Tell Hat
tie to step here" was the command. In
a minute the daughter entered the room.
The father and the doctor stood facing
one another. /" Hattie" said the old
gentleman, " do you feel that you have
fully recoveredW 81 am as we'll as ever,
father" "Do you imagine what your
doctor wishes in compensation for his
services in saving your life9" was the
sternly put question. "No," said the
girl, anxiously, "but am sure he de-
serves anything reasonable" "But I
consider his charge extortionate," was
the emphatic rejoinder. "What is it,

not be unreasonable" "Not unreason-
able! Why, Hattie, he asks that con-
sent to his making you his wife. What
have you to say to that2" Hattie
blushed violently for a minute, her little
foot played with the rug on the floor,
then looking up archly, first at hel
father and next at the young doctor, who
had meantime uttered no word, she said

New Proverbs.

A white lie often told makes black
story.
It's poor musician who can't blow
his own trumpet.
He who would eat the egg must first
break the shell.
Every back has its pack.
The man who wishes to continue be-
lieving in his friends should never put
them to the proof
Look after your wife; never mind
yourself, she'll look after you.
The want of money is the root of much
evil.
Egotism is an alphabet with one letter,
If you'd know mans character, fol
low him home.
Men love women; women love man.
The surest road to honor is to de-
serve it,
Only whisper scandal and it's echo is
heard by ALL
It's not the clock with the loudest tick
that goes the best.
Home is the rainbow OF life.
Don't complain Of the baker until you
have tasted his bread.
They who live in worry invite death
| to hurry.

Electricity's Deadly Work.

A shocking tragedy occurred on Sum-
day night in the Zocalo, where the beau
tiful concert pavilion has been erected
for the festival of All Saints and All
Souls days. One life was lost and three
men were so seriously injured that life in
their case was despaired of. 1t was
case of peculiar interest A man known
as Pantaleon Estrada, worker in gui-
taIs, tying a stone to the end of an Or
binary wire, threw it over the electric
wire. Estrada Immediately fell dead in
his tracks. The contact of the two wires
killed him. A policeman standing by
and a street-car conductor had much of
their clothing burned off, and were them
selves so seriously injured that their lives
tremble in the balance. The electic cur
rent affected others more or less. The scene
succeeding the tragedy was demoralizing.
For moment the dumb terror of see
ing strong men totter and fall as if
struck by some invisible hand held the
crowd spellbound. Succeeding the ter
rorized apathy came wild rush for life.
Fortunately exits were plentiful, and to
that was due the fact that many were not
stamped to death.
John Herbert, of the Electric Light
company. mounted ladder with a silk
handkerchief in hand to remove the wire
thrown by the unfortunate Estrada. The
rain was falling heavily at the time, but
he did not notice that the handkerchief
was becoming damp. He applied it to
the wire to remove it and received him
self a severe shock that threw him from
the ladder. Falling to the stone pave.

throwing the wire was to extinguish the

Mexican Senoritas on Horseback.

A letter to the San Francisco Chronicle
says: Not only do the male Mexicans
ride, but also a few of the native ladies
and many of the foreign ladies, es-
pecially the English and Americans.
Very few Mexican ladies dare be seen in
public on horseback, as it is here con-
sidered vulgar form of exercise for
women. There is no accounting for
taste, and probably some of our Ameri-
can customs appear quite as absurd to
the Mexicans as the idea of theirs con-
corning horseback exercise seems to us.
Ladies who take horseback exercise here
usually adopt the Mexican CUSTOM as
far as the hat is concerned, wearing a
very broad brimmed felt hat similar in
shape to the ordinary Mexican "som-
brcro y, in either black, light gray or
pale maroon color. In these sombreros,
which are made of much lighter weight
for ladies than those worn by men, they
look very jaunty. The rest of the Co.'S
tune is almost exactly the same as that
worn by equestriennss in Paris, London
or New York.

A Good Word for American Girls.

american girls are apt to hear, with
good deal of irritation, any criticism on
their habits and manners from foreign
e-s, but they will publicly listen with
patience to the impressions of one of
their own countrymen on this subject,
on his return home after prolonged alb
sence of years in Europe. He is a man
we'll known in the scientific world, and
gave his impressions to reporter of the

was, that nowhere in any country had l

women. Nor is this delicacy confined to
the gentler sex.
"Ihe daughters of many an American
mechanic have aristocratic features
which would become the princesses of

long descent have often resulted in heavy,
scdden, sensual traits-the results of high
