ABOUT THIMBLES.

Two hundred years ago thimbles were
unknown in England.
The high rank Chinese thimble always
has mother-of-pearl case.
Gold, silver, iron, ivory, steel, pearl,
she'll, celluloid, rubber and even glass
are utilized in making thimbles.
With the thimble the Chinese lady al
ways has delicate pair of scissors of
the finest steel, in sheath Of pearl, and
a pearl needle-case.
Solid gold thin bles, elegantly carved,
and frequently set with diamonds, are
found none too good for many fashion
able home decorators.
The wife of prominent Brooklyn
clergyman has a thimble that was
carved from peculiar stone she found
on the shore of the Dead sea.
Thimbles made to order, with the
monogram or initials OF the person for
whom they are intended set in precious
stones. are by no means unknown OBJ
jects dart.
A lady in Boston has thimbe made
from piece of the old Washington elm
at Cambridge, the tree under which
Washington stood when he took the oath
as commander-in-chief in IT'S.
The thimble is claimed by the Dutch
as an invention of their country, but it
is known that it was in use among
the silk embroiderers of China hun
dreds of years before it was used else
where.
The queen of Siam has thimble,
made of gold, in the form of a lotus bud,
the lotns being the Siamese royal floral
emblem, and thickly studded with dia-
monds so arranged as to form the
queen IS name and the date of her mar
rage.

Minnesota offers unparalleled chances

Senator Washburn recently said that
the last Minnesota legislature was

THE FIREMEN's CONVENTION.

The jolly fire laddies of this state will
hold their seventeenth annual cOnven-
ton at Alexandria to-day, and pleas
ant time the boys will have of it. They
were fortunate in the selection of place
for holding their convention, for there is
no prettier nor more hoSpitable Town in
the state than the Queen City of the
Park Region, and at this season of the
year it is particularly attractive.
n number OF subjects relating to the
Improvement of fire departments will
be discussed, and an interchange of
views ON these various topics will doubt
less have beneficial result. Among
more important topics that will come up
for consideration will be the necessity
for procuring legislation in the several
states compelling all towns to supply
themselves with proper and adequate
apparatus and machinery for extinguish-
ing fires; also the ACCESSIBILITY of having
each state define what apparatus and
machinery is necessary land to establish
fire bureau. whose duties would be anal
OgouS to those performed by&a state
board of health and kindred organlZa-
tons. Another subject Of equal i'm
portance will be the discussion of a
proposition to secure legislation requir-
ing property owners and occupants to
exercise more care in guarding against
danger from fire in the way of regular,
systematic and enforced supervision of
private property, especially as respects
chimneys, pipes, and the depositing of
ashes.
Among the minor topics relating
more particularly to the operations of
the several fire departments. the follow
ing will be included: Shall the size of
leading fire hose. for service, be in
creased to three inches? In what man
ner, and to what extent, can the iron
shutter be made of more service as
protector of life and property, and its
marked efficiency as present destroyer
thereof limited? Should the state, by
proper legislation, pension firemen?
How to obviate the danger emanating
from over-heated electric wires? The
importance of eliminating politics from
fire departments, and number of other
equally interesting topics.
These are all practical topics of
present interest. and the delegates at
Alexandria to-day will find abundant
and wholesome food for mental diges-
ton, as we'll as luxurious provision for
the comfort OF the physical man.

Ada Rehan and Her Sister.

Probably no leading actress on the
American stage having as many ad-
mirers as Ada Rehan is so little known
in private life. She makes few new ac-
quaintances, and is usually seen when
not at the theater, with Mrs. Gilbert,
when fulfilling engagements out of
New York. In the latter city. during
the winter, she lives in pretty apart
ment in one of the cross streets up
town, between Fifth and Sixth ave-
nues. In the same building Mfr. Gil
bert also has a cosy apartment, where
she makes her home during the winter
season. Ada Rehan is the clever
est of several sisters and brother or
two, all of whom, believe, are in the
theatrical profession. One of her

Jersey coast resort, who who were en-
sconced in one of Mr.. Byron's cottages,
while almost every other cottage in the
immediate vicinity, occupied by some
of the best known New York fashion
ables, was also the property of the
Byrons. Personally this couple were
among the most delightful people I
ever met. Ada Rehan's sister strongly
resembles her, while both have pecu-
liar information of voice and manner of
speaking. Miss Rehan's voice is as
much part of her unique individuality
as are the fetching gowns she usually

THEN AND NOW.

The idea that there were easy and
good times just back of the memories
of people of reasonable age now living
is an impression that has grown up
since those days. People were not any
better then than nov, and didn't know
half as much. There are hundreds of
ways of getting juices out of life that
the old fellows or young fellows of the
last century didn't suspect. Those of
small means now can buy many nice
things and genuine comforts that even
the moderately rich of the other times
could not afford. 1t is perhaps true
that rum and whisky were a good
deal cheaper and more generally
used, but in the early part of this
century a pair of wooden blankets
cost as much as cow. Now it is
very poor COW that isn't worth
more than five pairs of blankets. Then
a bushel of wheat and yard of calico
balanced; now the calico will stretch
out fifteen or twenty yards. A bushel
of corn then would buy but one pound
of nails; now it will buy ten. So on
with many of the conveniences of life,
bat the best things of the modern time
did not then exist. There were no

MuZZLING BLAINE.

Senator INGALLS, says President HAIR
RIsoN lays awake o. nights studying
how to keep Democrats in office. This
is an extreme view of the situation. The
president does spend good many Sleep
less nights, but it would be nearer the
mark to say that he is studying how to
keep Secretary BLAINE from OverShad-
owing him. There is nothing to con-
finn the INGALLS, theory. while there is
a great deal to indicate that the presi-
dent is awfully jealous of his premier.
Democrats are being hustled out of
Office in every department as rapidly as
the work can be done, except in the
state department.. There are yet many
Democrats holding consular positions,
who are yet drawing salaries and col
Letting fees; but it is not because the
president is not anxious to have them
removed. The trouble is that Mr..
BLAINE has some personal friend
booked for nearly every one of these
consulships. but the president will not
approve the appointments. They hang
fire simply because the president has
undertaken to discipline the secretary
of state.
A number of gentlemen who have
recently been to Washington in search
of government Offices, and who have
interviewed Secretary BLAINE respect
ing their chances for consular appoint
ments, all come home with the same
story on their lips. They say that the
secretary wears tired look, and when
he speaks of appointments pertaining
to his department. shakes his head omi-
nously and looks toward the White house
in a despairing sort of way, as if intend
ing to signify that there is a man up
there who has the swelIhead so bad
that he considers the secretary of state
only in the light of an appointment
clerk. 1t is obvious that the president
does not intend that Mr.. BLAINE shall
score any points for the next nominal
ton. He has started in to secure a re-
nomination for himself; and that being
the case, JAMES G. BLAINE is regarded
as dangerous man, and must be kept

GEN. CROOKS

1t was a happy thought when it oc-
Cured to President HARRISON to put
Gen. CROOK on the Sioux commission.
AS Capt. CUTIE used to say OF his
friend JACK BUNsBY, if any man can
he can. If there is anybody who can
reason the Sioux Indians into treaty
negotiation, Gen. CROOK is the man.
The wisdom of his selection for this
delicate task is already made apparent
ill the negotiations that are going on at
the Rosebud agency. The commission
started in at this agency because it was
supposed that the Indians in that local
ity were favorable to the proposition to
surrender their lands. and that little or
no trouble would be encountered at
that point. The commission was soon
undeceived on this point, for scarcely
had the negotiations been opened when
most violent opposition was devel-
0ped. The characteristic vacillating,
or rather treacherous, nature Of the
Indian was illustrated by the unex-
pected opposition of a number of chiefs
who had previously made profession
of their desire to sign the treaty.
The two political members of
the commission, Messrs. FOSTER
and WARNER, were utterly powerless
to bring any influence to bear on the
mutinous chiefs. and if they had been
alone they would probably have given
up the job in despair, and have returned
home. But when that sturdy old SOL
dier, Gen. CROOK, began to talk to the
Indians. they listened to his words and
soon began to show signs OF weakening.
Gen. CROOK is an old Indian fighter,
and has consequently studied Indian
nature to advantage. He understands
their peculiarities. and knows how to
say the right thing at the right time.
More than that, the indians have more
respect for an army officer than for a
civilian. Their experience with the lat
ter class has principally been with the
post traders and government agents,
and it has been an experience not very
well calculated to inspire confidence.
On the other hand, the troops on the
frontier have always dealt honestly
with the Indians, and have gained their
respect. And we venture to say that if
the Sioux commission had been COM
posed of army officers exclusively, there
would never had been any trouble in
getting the consent of the Indians to
the proposed treaty.

FORTUNES IN TRIPLES.

Some Wonderful Results Of APP
parentIy Unimportant Inven-
tiOnS.
Immense fortunes have been made
out Of Things that we are likely to con-
slider unimportant. An English paper
lately printed some figures that fairly
make us open our eyes in establishment.
The rubber tip on the end of lead pen
ellis has yielded the inventor more than
100000. The inventor of the roller
skate made more than $1,000, 900 out of
his patent, although the value of the in
ventiOn was not discovered until the
pointed screw has produced more wealth
than most silver mines, and the man
who first thought of putting copper tips
to the shoes is as well off as if his father
had left him 100000
The inventor of the common needle
threader enjoyed an income from that
little device of $4,000 year, and the
man who patented the ''return balP'-a
wooden ball with an elastic cord at
tached-made large fortune. So of
the man who first thought of putting
sand on match boxes, and of the in
venter of the ''dancing Jim Crow"
The latter had an income of $4,000 a
year.
Now why do we tell you about these
little things? Simply because the field
of invention is not only vast and varied,
but it is open to everybody, without re-
spect or favor of any kind to sex or age,
station or means. The merest trife may
be the key to a fortune if it be an article
that the public actually wants in great
numbers.
