New STYLES in Jewelry,


Scarf pins are having a great run now
among lady patrons.
Silver belts, also leather belts with sill
ger trimmings, are in demand for sum-
mer wear.
A popular brooch is one of the many
forms of gold knots, chased, plain and
set with gems.
A new gold brooch, just introduced, is
in form of large knot or coil of gold in
the open or pierced work.
A new feature in silver jewelry consists
of lace pins, sleeve buttons and studs set
with moonstOnes.
A silver pin that has proven very &C.
ceptable is the clover leaf in enamel, that
exactly Stimulates the, natural leaf in
color.
Bar pins and bracelets made of com,
bination of metals, including gold, sill
yer and copper, furnish attractive orna.
! ments in rocco style.
One of the handsome8t bracelets seen
was at the theatre. 1t consisted of a
double row of large, clear diamonds and
equally fine rubies.
Very popular are the flower brooches :;
sometimes cluster, often single flower,
sometimes entirely of gold, again enam-
elcd or set with gems,
During the season inst passed ladies
have appeared at the theatres, concerts
and other places requiring ordinary street
attire, wearing solitaire earrings, gem
hair pins and diamond bracelets.
A pretty conccit in silver neck pins are
those that take ON the form of a single
flower, in the heart of which appear
double fancy stones These stones are so
set that by touching the stem of the
| flower the centre is reversed.
A novel and very beautiful brooch has
moonstone for its center, and from this
radiate numerous gold threads in curved
lines that make the brooch nearly round
in shape, and at the end of each gold
thread Quivers tiny diamond.
Bouquet pins in gold or silver always
find some demand in cities but in this
country are as yet confined to the use of
the ladies. In Paris gentlemen, however,
are wearing gold aud silver safety pins
Tor fastening flower in the buttonhole.
A unique chain seen recently consisted
of two slender strands made up of al
ternate links of gold and platina, and
barred off, hee and there, with a pearl
bead. This chain was the length of the
usual fancy vest chain with swivel at
one end and a bar at the other.
A favorite bangle consists of numerous
slender gold or silver wire circlets, no
two of which arc decorated alike. AS
many as eighteen or twenty-four of these
are worn on one arm, each one independ-
ent of the other, not being connected in
any way, but hanging loose around the
arm. --Ne,0 York Null and Express.

Where Grant Died.

Ipassed several hours on Mount Mac
Gregor to-day, writes a Troy Times cor
respondent. The Drexel cottage remains
almost literally as when General Grant
died. There are the bed upon which
the illustrious Commander breathed his
last, his favoritc chair, his garments, in
Guiding dressing gown, slippers and hats,
and even his medicines, cups and the
sponges with which he was won't to
moisten his lips.
You are shown pens with which he
wrote the latter portion of his book and
quantities of paper cut in small sizes by
means of which he was wont to carry on
his share of conversation. A number Of
the beautiful flower pieces wrought in
immortelles sent by the friends of the
General, including the huge pillow from
the Philadelphia Post are also on view
All these relics are looked upon by the
visitors in solemn silence. Some of them
might with propricty be removed
notably the medicines and vessels. Out
side the cottage all looks calm and
beautiful.

The Terrapin and the Tailor.

A Terrapin had for long time
avoided the payment of a tailor's bill by
shutting up his shell whenever the Tailor
came about him. But one morning,
when the Tailo" had been thus baffied
for the hundredth time he pasted the
bill on the Terripans back, leaving the
animal in ignorance of what had been
done, The Terrapin was not worried by
the Tailor any more, but by crawling
through the town with the bill on his
back he lowered his credit to such an ex-
tent that he had to leave the commu-
nifty.
MORAL: This Fable teaches that while
man may avoid his creditors by adopt
ing zig-zag route in walking down town,
the fact of outstanding debts cannot be
kept a profound secret. Life.

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

The eyes of poisonous snakes have
been found by DR.. Benjamin, Sharp tc
have elliptical pupils, while in the harm.
less species they are circular.
London engineers say that, as mat.
ter of theory, it is possible to make
steamers to run 40 knots an hour and
cross the Atlantic in three days. But
the vessel could only carry passengers.
The thickness of the earths crust is
believed by NJ. Faye, the French geolo-
gist, to be greater under oceans than
beneath continents, because the earths
heat has always radiated more freely
there.
The earthquakes recorded in 1885, &C.
cording to Mons. G. Detaille, numbered
2iG, of which only six were felt in North
America. January, with 40 earthquakes,
had the greatest number for any month;
and October, with II, the smallest.
The French Academy of Sciences has
been told by Mons. Treve of the curious
phenomenon of beautiful green ray
which flashes into sight for quarter Of
a second on the disappearance of the
upper edge of the solar disc at sunset.
The appearance can be seen only when
the sky is exceptionally clear, and is
probably an Elusive effect on the eyes Of
the sudden extinction OF the suns glare.
Ofthe group of glaciers at Glacier
Bay, Alaska, each one is about 900 feet
high, and is supposed to be submerged
the same number of feet. They are about
three miles wide and extended along the
shore seventy-fve miles. These glaciers
are the sight of the world. The pale
blue tinge of ice has fascination for the
eye. The continual falling of tons of
the breaking aud creaking masses causes
a roar of dcafening sound that no artil-
lery could equal.
Under the slow but continuous action
of the sulphurou3 acid thrown in the air
of cities by the combustion of coal and
the influence of the frequent changes in
the degree of atmospheric humidity, it is
found that the peroxide of red lead, used
IN coloring certain placarda, is destroyed
and stipulated. At the same time the
protoxide of lead thus liberated is trans
formed into an insoluble sulphite, and
this salt, being easily analysed, it is be-
| lievcd thai certain means is thus OBJ
tanned for determining the condition of
the atmosphere in large cities and its re-
lations to the public health.
Sensations of vision require q definite
time of exposure of the retina, which
time Mr. ]. M. ClttclI, Of the University
of Leipsic, finds to be considerably de-
pendent on the nature of the object and
the intensity of the light. 1t varies with
the several colors. Orange gives the
quickest impression of the eye, and vel.
low closely follows it ; then come blue,
red and green while the rotina is least
sensitive to violet light-timc, which is
front two to three times as long as for
orange. BY lamplight the eye works
more slowly than by daylight, and the
order of perceiving colors is changed to
orange, rcd, yellow violet and blue.

surest Trnnquilizer of the Nerves.

The surest tranquilizer of the nerves Is q
medicine which remedies their representative
ness by invigorating them. Over-tension Of
the nerves always weakens them. What they
need, then, is tonic, not sedative. The lat
ter is only useful when there i. intense mental
exists for producing quietude of the brain.
HoStetter's Stomach Bitters restores tranquil
ity OF the nerves by endowing them with the
yigor requisite to bear, without being Jared or
disturbed unhealthfully, the ordinary impress
sions produced through the media of sight,
hearing and reflection. Nay, it does NOR Q
than this-it enables them to sustain degree
OF tension from mental application which they
assistance. Such, at least, is the irresistible
conclusion to be drawn from the testimony OF
business and professional men,. literateurs,
clergynen, and others who have tested
the terrifying and reparative influence
OF this celebrated tonic and nervine.

The Fat from Sleeps Wool.

1t altogether probable that the fatty
substance obtained from the wool of
sheep-which has heretofore been treated
as a waste matter, costly to get rid of,
and not worth preserving-will take
rank among the valuable staples of
production. In paper read by DR..
Thomas G. Morton before the College Of
Physicians of Philadelphia, he called at
tention to the value of this substance to
the medical fraternity, on account Of
its remarkable compliance to capillary
action, developed whom applied to the
human skin. 1t is so easily and rapidly
absorbed that it becomes most con-
venient vehicle for the introduction into
the system of other incorporated sub
stances. Being innocuous in itself, it is
an excellent base in the preparation Of
all ointments and unguents intended fol
the external relief of disease. - Chicago

INDIANA STATE POLITICS.
Preparing for the Shortest Canvass Ever
Made in the state.


Ex-senator Mcdonald was In attendance
on the meeting of the Democratic state
central committee Of Indiana at Indiauep-
oils last week, and took an unusually ac-
tive part. Ho spoke earnestly and decid-
edly In favor Of Mr.. Cleveland's admins
tratlon, rebuklng the criticisms OF the
spoilsmen, and telling the hungry place
hunters that Mr.. Cleveland was strong and
popular with the business men, and whether
they wanted IL or not they would have TO
take him as their candidate in 1888, and
had better begin supporting him now.
They would understand how to do IL when
they were compelled TO do SO. This
position on the part Of Mcdonald, In view
OF the talk about his going into the Cabi-
net, caused good deal Of talk, aud IL Is
interpreted as giving the key to his fight
for the senatorship next winter, or failing
in that to prepare himself for the future.
There is little question that Cleveland
and iIolman boom Is being. mildly started
for the state OF Indiana, and with Nc
Donald's patronage. This will lead 10 a
joinder Of the Mcdonald and Holman
forces against Gray, who represents the
"boys" Of the party, take Mr.. Holman out
OF the senatorial race, and leave the contest
to Gray and Mcdonald, should II be found
better not TO risk senatorial fight. The
calls for both state conventions have been
published, and are slngularly alike In terms.
They invite party men and all others who
will cooperate with them In the campaign
to meet In indianapolis by delegates. The
one is on,the 11th OF August and the other on
the I'd of September. This insures the
shortest canvass ever made in Indiana, and
Its course and result will be watched with
great interest by the managers OF both
parties. The Republicans seem TO be more
hos
question being that OF temperance leggla-
ton. The tendency OF Republican temper
ance men is toward the antisaloon move
ment. While declaring for themselves In
favor Of local option and high taxation,
with compensatory damages, they at the
same time expressly disavowed making that
principle q partisan one, but put II forward
as one upon which men OF all parties can
unite.
The Presidents order to of1iceholders re-
ceiyes no attention in Indiana in fact, for
the most part, II is ex post facto. But
where 1t might apply IL is openly dehed. In
the Democratic county convention of How
ard county, held at Kokomo, the home of
Collector Henderson, all the officials were
on hand and responded to their names at roll
call. The report OF the proceedings shows
that 1.-THE convention was called TO order
by Chairman George w. Duke" who is the
chief deputy in Collector Henderson's Office.
Again. the proceedings state that "George
w. Duke moved effectively that commit
tee OF one from each township be appointed
on apportlonment, and the chair appointed
as said committee George w. Duke, Will
lam Serter, +. G. Bulk, and Others" When
the delegates to the state convention were
appointed John w. Leach, the travelling
deputy collector was elected one, and Col
lector j. o. Henderson himself was made
an alternate.
