style consists of a slen"er chain sup
porting diamonds alternately set and PEN
dant. Its value is about S30. 600. A new
idea is that of black or colored velvet rib

A NOVELTY IN BROOCHES.
"We have a novelty in brooches-a
childs head carved out of moonstone
fitted in a gold bonnet, with rows Of dia-
monds and sapphires encircling the face.
The bonnet strings are enameled. We
have, too, another novelty IN hairpins,
consisting OF a tortoise shell bar, with
gold head, either plain or jeweled. The
neatest of these, perhaps, is a gold for
get-me-nOt, with leaves enameled in nat
ural color of the flowers and having dia-
mCnd buds.
ga rings the solitaire is still fashiona-
Bile and will remain so. Colored gems are
poouar, especially in combination. The
most fashionable is the garter or circlet
ring, composed of five to seven stones,
either diaNonus or colored gems. Anon
olous gems, sGsh as pink and yellow sap
phires, pink, black and gray pearls, are
growing in public favor. A few years
ago they were unknown in this country.
Another popular gem is the Alexander
lite, found in Siberia and named after the
Emperor Alexander on account of hav-
ing the war colols of Russia. 1t is pure
green in the daytime, but red in artificial
light. SemI-preciOus stones, such KS
tourmalines, jacinths, and spinelles, are

DEMAND FOR GEMS INCREASING.
The head of another well-known firm
said:
''The demand for gems has been con-
stantly Increasing, particularly In fine
grades. The demand for choice speci-
mems is great. Among ladies' iewelrv the
hematite is becoming fashionable. Quiet
designs are asked for most.
''Sleeve buttons are in numerous va
riety. One design has small square plates
of nugget or hammered gold, plain or
with gems. Gold coils, jeweled or plain,
are fashionable.
sin chains, the short vest chain con-
tinues popular. The most fashionable.
however, is the Queen, a short chain, with
ID ball, lOcket or Yinaigrette attached. A
watch is specially manufactured to match
this chain. 1t is Louis XIV. design, with
clear blue enameled face, silver numerals
and gold hands. and is encircled front and
back with rows of diamonds. Among
plain jewelry, hammered and chased gold
ornaments predominant. Nugget gold is
extremely popular. In mourning jewelry,
OnXy, with or without combinations, is
still called for. The unpublished finish is
fashionable.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.


Report OF the Government Commissioner.
The commissioner of railroads in his an
nual report to the Secretary of the Interior
says of the Northern Pacific railroad
The returns made to this Office by the
Northern Pacific company indicate an in
creasing business. The property has
been inspected and shows good main
tenance, healthy improvement, and
conservative management. The total
cost of the road and equipment up To
June 30 1854, amounts to Sl6N, ,901 ,OJ1 II.
The road has been constructed with re
markable NigOr, and undoubtedly adds to
the material wealth and facilitates greatly
the development of the resources of the
great Northwest. During the year end
! ing June 30, 1854, the company expended
| Sl3 Ts3, SSl for new construction and i'm
provements and S5,5Y4672 for rolling
stock, OF which s., 30 ,oi was for locomo-
/ tiyes alone. Under its land grant act the
company has acquired by United States
| patent 40, ,Od2. Is acres, and by certiiicatOn
| of United States land offices, not patented
| : 7,671 ,6s5.4l acres, Up to June 80, 1854, the
company had disposed of 1890, .35 acres
| for SIS Sob 95l.79 The MAXIMUM price
per acre exclusive of town lots, has been
| $50 and the minimum $500 per acre
! The total earnings of the Northern Pa
cilic company for the fiscal year were sl2-
/ COB, SO, an increase of S4,i4S,ll6 tor GO. a
per cent? over the earnings for the pre-
ceding year The total expenses were
SLIT ,1j4, an increase Of 81 S50,S2i over
the expenses of the preceding fiscal year
The net earnings were S5,425, $50, an in
crease of - 9O1, ,29l Tor 1913 per cent? over
the net earnings for the fiscal year ended
June 30, lss3. During the year S2l miles
of road were added To the companys lines,
and the net earnings per mile averaged
SG5S. The report shows large increase in
the passenger and freight traffic for the
year and an insignificant reduction of the
revenue per mile, The financial state
ment of the company shows that the liza
hilities on June 20, 1854, We're S9l $50, ,565,
and the capital stock sss, ,S0i ,O6S making
