fashions IN 1EwELnY.
Women Will Wear Large and SpIen-
did OrnamOnts-lIen will Not.


Fashions in jewelry change from year to
year, and are generally imported from
Europe Jewellers copy foreign models,
but the new designs rarely become popular
here until well introduced by Americans re-
turning from abroad. just now all the rage
in Europe are large ball earrings of dull
gold, sometimes with jewel sunk in them.
The fashion has reached such an extent
there that balls are worn an inch and a half
IN diameter-sometimes like tennis balls.
Very few of them are seen here except on
passengers on incoming steamers. They
will soon be rivals of diamonds in favor
This fashion strikes the keynote of FASH
ions for women. Everything intended for
their use is of a like ample character. Their
watches are covered with engraving and set
with jewels; there is much barbarie splen-
dor about their bracelets and pendants,
while for the men the contrary is just the
case. Watch chains are very short and OF
small links. Platinum is often alternate1
with gold. The favorite ring is of gold and
platinum wire interlaced in knot. Scarf
pins are small cubes of gold with a small
diamond boxed in, or claw holding a
pearl or some unpretentious stone. Another
simple design is an enamel with polka dot
pattern, SO that it can hardly be distinguish
ed from the necktie. There is an effort to
avoid all manner of display on the part o.
men.
The ladies run riot in diamonds, rubies
'apphires, pearls, and especially in opals
The opal seems now to be coming out from
under the ban which has lain upon 1t for so
many years. 1t is now in high favor and
has advanced greatly in price. It is being
introduced into oil kinds OF jewe!ry with
brilliant effect.
Another stone which has lately appeared
in the market is a beryl, dug from an
American mine. 1t is OF various colors
straw, aqua-marine, ruby, and others, ano
in brilliancy surpasses all stones except
fire diamond.
Solid bracelets are not worn. The styles
are now for flexible circlets which fit the
contour of the arm. The most fashionable

IDENTIFY something in them that would have
shimed in admirably with Creole mother
who gave her betrothed daughter some very
good advice and then allowed a reporter to
copy it. It is too long to permit reproduc-

and very good ones, too;
Encourage strict confidence with your
husband; withhold nothing from him, and
be patient in bearing all he would confde to
you, that he may always fly to you as his
counsellor and best friend.
Be punctual to a second in all engage
ments with your husband and he will be the
same with you, and in thus doing you will
lvoid much that is unpleasant.
Practice economy in taking care of what

The shrewdest gamblers are guilelesa
when they are stacked up against shrewd
stock manipulation. Let me prove that to
you by little story. When old Commo-
dore Vanderbilt carried the stock market in
the palm of his hand John Morrissey had
his club house at Saratoga. Morrissey
owned a fast horse, and the old commodore
fell in love with it. He wanted to buy,
Morrissey would not SELL The commodore
offered twice the horses value. Morrissey
refused it. Finally Morrissey, with an eye
to what might follow, gave the horse to tho
commodore The commodore was i'm.
mensely gratifed to think that he had beer
presented with what money could not buy.
Hereciprocated by giving Morrissey points
on the market, and Morrissey made money
fast in stocks. Dan Mclaughlin, then one
of the best known horsemen in the country
md Morrissey's intimate, and some half
iozen other of his friends made money too.
g But Morrissey, growing rich, began to
lake liberties with the old commodore.
Morrissey would hail him as he drove along
and whisper to him. and make show Of
thcir friendship. That riled the commo-
lore. He sent for Dan Mclaughlin one
lay and said to him confdentially
Dan, if you want to make pot oil
money go into such and such stock. It's
bound to 60 up. But, Dan, above all mer
in the world, don't tell John Morrissey."
The commodore knew perfectly well
that he might as well ask Mclaughlin ia
cut his head off as to keep anything from
Morrissey- So Mclaughlin and Morrissey
and four or five others who were let in, pu,
all they owned into the stock. In month
it fell out Of sight and they were cleaned
out, Morrissey for $780, 900, some of the
others for $50, 600 apiece"

AvALLEy or SUFFERING.
no, Springs and II. Invalid Visitors.

hhot springs tth0 hts AmNAfhts AnAsVs"s
At all times the dark and narrow valley
presents scene of suffering humanity
Each morning you meet with paralytics
dragging their lifeless limbs TO the baths
and at every turn the eye il panied at the
sight of unhappy wretches, disfgured BY
ulcerous sores, whom +" the spital house
would cast the gorge at" The most dis
ressed patients, the +" very despair of sur
sery," go down into the pool, trusting that
the good angel who troubles the waters
will work miracle in their behalf and ii
one can credit half the wonderful cures
attributed to this Bethesda, their faith sci.
dom fails of its reward. Whenever the
disease can be traced to a vicious blood,
relief immediate and permanent may be
relied upon with the certainty of law OF
nature. Physicians are beginning to accept
the old dogma that the blood is the life of
the man and to impute to its corruption
most of the :" ills that flesh is heir to-" 1t
is upon the correctness of this theory that
the govt and every form OF rheumatism
yield to the treatment Of these baths.
It is peculiar and noticeable feature Of
Hot Springs that one rarely overhears an
expression of disappointment from the
crowd of visitors who flock hither in quest
of health Invalids, as rule, after brief
trial, appear eager and anxious to bear
testimony to the healing virtue of the
waters of the place. Without any excep-
lion, Arkansas Hot Springs is the dreariest,
homeliest, saddest spot ON earth but let
il not be forgotten that it is the healthiest.
Its southern latitude renders the winters
mild and temperate, while its elevation
above the level of the sea secures cool and
refreshing summers. At MONDAY the sun
shines with fervant heat. but the nights are
seldom oppressive, blankets often being in
requisition during the hottest months. The
village ia filed with every description and
style OF caravansaries, from the modern
hotel to the primitive lodging house. Owing
to the sterilty Of the surrounding noun
talns, provisions are transported from dis
ant markets. The far South contributes
an abundant supply Of choice fruit and veg
etables. Kansas furnishes an unlimited
quantity of prime beef, but the inferior
quality OF the mutton affords conclusive evil
dence that the sportive lamb of the broad
prairies of the far West averages two pounds
bone to each ounce avoirdupois meat.

How Imitation Jewels Aar Made.

stones are said to be intensified, such as
emeralds, saphiros amethysts and others.

Beauty reigns everywhere at Niagara ex
cept in the few spots whore the iconoclastis
hand Of man for selfish purposes has MARI
ed it, and these are rapidly being obliterat-
cd. There is beauty in the rocks in the
rapids, In the Uncovered cliffs Of the Cana
dian side, in the green water touched with
prismatic hues as IL makes its first grand
curl over the falls, and the clouds of feecy
mist arising from below, through which the
solar aud lunar rainbows play day and
night. One beautiful feature of Niagara
that is seldom heard Of, partly because OF
because most people who visit the place
ride around in carriages and therefore do
not see them, are the charming woodland
walks and noble trees. The proper only
true way to see Niagara is afoot; none can
see 1t or get an adequate idea of its beauty
unless they do, and they cannot take any
walks commanding views of the falls with
out seeing that nature has furnished set
ting of trees that in prodigality and nobility
are in keeping with the other sublime sur
roundings. Even along the sides Of the
river above the American Falls on Goat
Island there are great exuberant growths,
immense trees growing at right angles and
in bunch, and vegetable monstrosities and
eccentric formations that to the eye and
Imagination are strictly in keeping with the
terrible rapids that skirt the banks. The
TACT is not generally known that the atmos-
phere OF Niagara is favorable to beauty.
The prevalence Of the mist and spray Of the
falls and tbs humidity of the air is admir-
able for the complexion, and the rosy, soft
skinned English girls find themselves quite
at home in it.

POETRY.
A Sepfennher Vinle,.


For days the peaks wore hoods of cloud,
The slopes were yelled In chilly rain;
We said: It is the Summers shroud,
And with the brooks we moaned aloud
VIII sunshine never come again9
At last the west wind brought US one
Serene, warm, cloudless, crystal dag,
As though September, having blown
A blast OF tempest, now had thrown
A gauntlet to the favored May.
Backward TO Spring our fancies flew,
And, careless OF the course OF Time,
The bloomy days began anew.
Then, as happy dream comes true,
Or as a poet finds his rhyme
Half wondered at, half unbelieyed-
found thee, friendliest of the flowers!
Then Summers joys came back, green-lelled,
And its doomed dead, awhile reprieved,
First learned how truly they were ours.
Dear Violet Did the Autumn bring
Thee vernai dreams, TIL thou, like me,
Dldst climb to thy imaglning9
Or was 1t that the thoughtful Spring
Did come again, In search of thee?

The unseemly wrangIe that has made
Dallas county the object OF attention for
weeks has eliminated, as many pre-
dicted, in "a Gibbs convention" and ga

egetions TO the Wsxahachie convention.
The philosophy Of this dlsgraceful scram-
Die in Dallas county Is the belief Of Dial.
las county that * owns the Sixth district.
This conviction breeds congressional can.
didates who imagine that all they need to
insure success is to secure the vote Of
Dallas county. The contest between Mr..
Wellborn aud Mr.. Gibbs has been that OF
men crazy for Office and inspired with the
belief that all they needed was the vote
Of Dallas county. The growth OF
this belief has finally culminat-
ed not In contesting delegations
from one Democratic convention,
but In contrasting delegations from ga
Gibbs convention" and "a Wellborn cen
vention." 1t is high time that the Sixth
district should teach Dallas = lesson. The
people of this district do not belong TO
Mr.. Gibbs or to Mr.. Wellborn or to Dali
las county. II Dallas county had not
been inspired VITA the idea that the con-
gressional place was political inherit
ance, no such miserable strife would have
been seen as that which has characterized
the Gibbs-Wellborn contest, and II the
Democracy of the district, through its
convention at Waxahachie, does its duty,
Dallas will be taught a needed lesson.
Outside of the partisaus of the two Dali
las candidates, the people are disguised
with the methods employed by them, and
look to the Waxshachie convention to
express the public condemnation with
such emphasis that 1t shall be a warning
