MISSING Inks

Robert Louis Stevenson was paid
IS, 900 for his last novel.
A pretty matchbox recently seen
represented half-5urnt cigar in gold.
The ashes were of oxidized silver.
A unique idea in scarf-pins is fish
ing-rod of gold with suspended line.
On the end of the line is small dia-
mond.
In watches style recently seen was
silver case shaped as a horseshoe
and topped with large bit of the
same material.
Two fishing-rods of gold, crossed
and supporting in the center fish and
fish-bag Of the same material, is an
attractive brooch.
An owls head of Roman gold, con-
nected by means of two links to a tree
bough of the same material, does SER
vice as a cuff-button.
A large huntsman's horn of gold, in
the center of which is the head of a
fox held in place by large hunting
whip, is a neat idea in in brooch de-
signs.
A desk-weight recently seen was
four-inch boar's tusk set against
large oak leaf of oxidized copper and
topped by boar's head in gilt bronze.
A beautiful brooch recently seen
was large golden arrow. the barb of
which was mass of small diamonds,
while the feather tips were set with
rubies and sapphires.
Two horseshoes of platinum held to-
gether at the center with a golden rid
ing-whip, over which lies a jockey
cap of opals and diamonds, is a pref
ty brooch recently seen.
The figure of female of silver-gilt
bronze, dressed in the old German
style, with long, wide, bottomed skirts,
is the shape of a drinking-cup which
is being introduced as a revival of a
medieval fashion.
An extravagant idea in drinking
horns or wassail cups is a fish OF
bronze, the whole body of which is
covered with a series of enameled pic
lures representing various toasts. The
fish is held aloft by a mermaid of
bronze, who supports herself on the
back of large turtle by her tail of
vari-colored green enamel.
X. j. Ienny recently died at Los
Angeles, Cal, and this is the story the
California papers tell of him: He
was living with his grandmother in
East Galway, this state, and went west
to better his condition. He got work
in Los Angeles, slept on a bench in the
shop to save rent, and went without
sufficient food in order to save enough
money to send to his aged and helpless
grandmother in the East. He denied
himself too much, and died the other
day of actual starvation.

to those who believe in the invention.

Nest-BuildIng Fishes.

Among the nest-building fishes which
inhabit German waters, the most in
teresting is the s'stickleback, whose
life-history has been carefully studied.
The home of this little animal is some-
times found in bitches, hanging among
branches and twigs of plants; the nest
is about the size of the average hand.
and in structure and material bears a
marked resemblance to the round nest
of the tit-mouse. 1t is peculiar and
remarkable fact that among the stickle-
backs the Matching is done by the
male and not the female fish. The
building of the nest, task to which
the male also attends, is an interesting
event. For many days in succession
the little animal, whose energy and
perseverance are truly worthy of adj
miration, collects its material, which
consists of loose stalks. plant-shreds,
root-fibers, and grass. These it asserts
carefully, discarding all material that
proves too light. 1t often drags along
pieces exceeding its body in length,
and sometimes with great exertion
strips growing plants. All this ma
terial is worked up into a tangled
mass, and layers of sand are scattered
in between. The nest is rendered firm
by glue-like juice, which the little
mason excretes after the completion
of each layer, gliding slowly over the
structure; this causes the separate
parts of the nest to adhere closely to-
gether. The whole, when completed,
has the appearance of a sand-hill and
is detected with much difficulty.
While at work the fish rarely partakes
of any food; it seems that during this
blissful period of its existence it finds
no pleasure in such everyday events;
but with intense luminosity it drives
back any jealous rivals, larvae, sala-
manders, or water-bugs, which cross
its path, sometimes with evil some-
times with harmless intentions. After
the troublesome hatching-time is over,
the anxious papa still continues to
care for his numerous offspring; by
day and by night he watches over
them, and drives away all creatures
whose approach seems dangerous.
This unremitting watchfulness ceases
only when his young are able to raise
their weapons of defense and have be-
come somewhat acquainted with their
surroundings. An inqusitive little one
venturing too far away is quickly sent
home, and it actually happens that
those who are very disobedient are inn
prisoncd in the nest The home-life of
these little animals really presents an
abundance of interesting and touching
traits.-KarT Hennii1gS, tn Popular

four weeks later than it was the year
before. May was a very wet month.
Beginning the last week in April, and
including the month of May, up to the
9th, do not think we had a week of
clear and pleasant weather. In fact it
rained some time during the twenty
four hours for thi-ty-five consecutive
days. q say rain, and include in that
term snow and hail as we'll as rain
proper The ground needed all the
moisture, but it put the farmers work
back a good deal, especially compliant
ing. A good many planted from the
tenth to the fifteenth of May. and some
planted over obout the fifth of June or
little later.
The weather this month, and especi-
ally the last week, has been fine. Every
thing is growing very rapidly. Small
grain looks excellent. and the prospect
is that corn may do something.
we were up to Lake Preston, last
week, and it seemed as though the
people from Mt. Ida township had
chosen the day for reunion, for when
we got there we found Daye Faris, Geo.
McMurray, Tay Tor Brunnimer and Son,
g. A. Lance, Hazard and Sumner
Bangs and your correspondent. 1t is
needless to say we enjoyed ourselves.
There are also located at the Lake, Drs.

Mrs. WilcoA's latest original poem,
which the New York Graphic gives pub
LEGATION to for the first time, hasa story
connected with its birth. Mrs. Wilcox
was looking at private collection of
opals in the possession of Mr.. Herman
Marcus of that city. Among them was
a piece of rock from Honduras, in
which nestled the uncut opal as nature
placed it, Mr.. Marcus, who is man
of rare poetic taste, said to Mrs. Will
cox: II have always wanted some poet
to put in verse my idea of the opal. /
think sunbeam welded a moonbeam,
and that the opal was their offspring" "
Mrs. Wilcox sent the poem published
below to Mr.. Marcus few days later:
The Sunbeam loved the MoonbeaIn,
And followed her low and high:
But the Moonbeam fed and hid her head
She was so shy-so shy.
The Sunbeam wooed with passion;
Ali he was lover bold,
And his heart was afire with mad desire
For the Moonbeam pale and cold
She fed like n dream before him;
Her hair was a shining sheen.
And oh that Fate would annihilate
The space that lay between.
just as the Day lay painting
In the arm of the Twilight dim
The Sunbeam caught the one he sought
And drew her close to him.
But out of his warm arms startled,
And stirred by loves first shock,
She sprang afraid, like a trembling maid,
And hid i'll the niche of rock.
And the sunbeam followed and found her,
And led her to loves own feast@
And they were wed on that rocky bed,
And the dying Day was their priest.

that the head is perfectly shaped, the

each other, the chin short, the neck
full and chest tapering to promising
proportions The relic is as hard as

foolish boy who shouted "wOlf, wolf"
so often that nobody needed him. Not

finger for it's political likes or dislikes;
and its political utteranoe gives contin
ual amusement throughout the section

the acceptance of the candidate whom
they desire to nominate from Jodie's
district. No flies on this fact.

from the Beeville Bee, one of the uemo-

"Those democrats who voted for the

need not have any fears that they will

party, or eat crow. Talking of putting
