Here is somethingnew in the way OF
In Memoriam jewelry:-"A certain
Russian nobleman visiting Paris was
noticed to be constantly plunged in
deep sadness. He wore on his finger
a very remarkable ring large enough
for a bracelet, and which extended
over his hand like a buckler for h
ring finger. 1t was of a greenish color,
and was traversed by red veins. 1t
attracted the attention of everybody,
but no one was bold enough TO IN
terrogate the mysterious stranger,
until one day a lady, meeting MN In
public, ventured to say, You wear a
very handsome ring The Russian
made a movement as though he woul
conceal his hand, but that feeling
gave way to a desire to unbufden
himself. 1T is not a ring, he answered,
but q sepulchreI A shudder passed
through the whole company.
This jewel he continued, is
my wife. / had the misfortune
to lose her some years since in Russia.
She was an Italian and dreaded the
icy bed which awaited her after this
life. l carried her remains to Ger
many, where 1 was acquainted with a
celebrated chemist, whom | directed to
make of the body a solid substance
which l could carry about with me.
Eight days afterward he sent for me
and showed me the empty coffin, amid
a horrid collection of Instruments and
alemhics. This jewel was lying on the
table. He had, through of some
corrosive substance, reduced and com
pressed that which was my wife into
this jewel, which shall never more
leave me.
Washington Irving used to tell a
somewhat similar story, but in the
case he mentioned the ring used to cut
into the wearer's finger bone every
time he glanced amorously at another
woman, and he was never able to pro-
pose to a second wife through the ex-
%cruciating pain the ring oceasioned.

The GiLT's Violin.

From the Commercial Advertiser.
Go where you will this summer, to
the seashore, to the mountains, to the
springs, you will certainly run across a
o or more of girls who play the
violin. 1t is the present musical fad,
this and playing the either. The latter
instrument is gradually coming in for
a share of attention from the young
woman who turns from one form of
entertainment to another as fast as a
new one presents itself.
The opportunity which playing the
violin gives one to display an aesthetic
gown, a pretty hand and a dimpled
arm is no small argument in favor of
this instrument; then the pose is SO
much more graceful than that which
is taken when playing on the piano;
indeed, nothing can be more charm
ing to the eye than the picture a
pretty girl makes playing the violin.
One can carry a violin about with one
without much trouble, and it "a be
perfectly tuned at a moments notice,
which are other strong points in it's
favor. H.

Of men were ut work on Burrows
Island removing the logs ana boards.
As they cleared away the debris
they came upon a pile of logs in the
shape Of cone at least dozen feet
high. The logs were in such Il
symmetrical shape that it looked as
though they were put together by
human hands. The cone was hollow
and rs the men proceeded with their
work Of demolition they detected a
smell which suggested that there
was dead animal close at hand
Log after log was removed, when to
their ama2ement they beheld mas
tiff dog. The animal wagged his
tail and whined when he saw the
men, and seemed gladened at the
prospect of being liberated from
prison. In another portion of the
cone-shaped cell was the carcass of
COW. BY some freak of The rushing
waters the dog and COW were caught
in this pen on June ,, the COW being
crushed in the jam Of logs. The
canine was sleek and fat when
liberated and looked none the worse
for his two months Imprisonment.

Where the animal came from is not

How to Keep a Razor Sharp.

We often have amateur shayers
bring us their razors to be fixed up,
says a barber in the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. Almost any man with a
steady hand can shave himself, but not
n in fifty al keep his razor in de-
cen condition. The first reason is
that amateurs wear all the temper out
of their razor by excessive strapping,
and the better the steel the easier it is
effected in this way. The only remedy
is to let it alone. Put away the razor
that scrapes and cuts the skin and
give it a good rest. Then use it again
and in all probability it will be in good
shape.
Some of the modern shaving sets
have as many razors as there are days
in the week, and on the handle of each
is engraved the name of a day. If the
rotation is kept up very little sharpen
ing is need. L have known men talk
OF pet razors which they have used
every day for years; if they would let
these lie by for a while they would find
a welcome improvement. The second
of the trouble is bearing on the
razor while sharpening it. Never at
tempt to put on an edge before shaw
ing. When you are through rub the
blade lightly a few times on a plain
leather strap, which need not cost
above q quarter. and then put away.
The old bOiling-water craze is explod-
ed now, and professionals do just as
good work with cold water as hot.

crossed and recrossed the easements.

The Peril of the Pulpit.

One is often disposed to envy the
presumably peaceful life of a clergy.
man Especially during their August
v~acation), even when the latter is not
serving the Lord in a brown-stone pars.
onage and with a salary of from Sc, OOC
to So 900 a year. But all is not gold
that glitters, 0 peace that appears so.
One of the men | envied, says a New
York correspondent of the Philadelphia
Record, was an Episcopal clergyman
with a pleasant charge and a reputa.
ton for eloquence. Yet L found him
disturbed in his mind, and of course g
woman was at the bottom of it. She
was a maiden lady who waylaid him al
the church door, in the vestry, at his
house. Three or foug times a week she
came to his house and as often she sen
him long letters. The nuisance was
terrible, and while others smiled il
would have been a relief to him to
swear. One day size insisted on seeing
him privately in his study at his home
and said: ''Why does your wife OF
sister come into the room as soon as
enter and sit here all the whilePn He
rose to the situation and replied: miss
DASAhs II tOU IL 1ONC Will ul6 pray
tell me Sc and then l will explain
She sprang to her feet, blasted him with
a look of Indignation, and fled. He re.
joiced to think the affair was ended. but
that night came a longer letter thar
ever, saying that she was in love with
the priest and not with the man, anC
therefore pardoned him and sent him
some of her poems which she begged
him to criticise. 1t was laughable a
first, but it became terrible after awhile
and he has asked his yestry to inter
fere. and declares he will leave the
parish if she is not put into a lunatic
asylum or restrained by other means
from tormenting him. A similar afiic.
ton befell an Episcopal bishop in one
of the eastern states, and for twenty
years a half-crazy widow annoyed hi:
family with letters to him, which. after
the first few had been read by him.
were never suffered to come into hi:
hands.
