BRITISH SHAM JEWELRY.
American and Other Buyers in London
Rich Customers.

"Apropos Of the sham jewelry business. to
which l referred last week." says writer in
the Pal MAI CARTE, II have inquired who are
the largest patrons of it. Americans are good
customers here. said the salesman. Those big,
heavy bracelets you see there are bought chiefly
by publicans wives. We sell plenty of wedding
rings at Is. Sd. each But marriages don't
occur often; surely people can afford few
shillings once in lifetime for real gold ring?'
All, you don't understand. These wedding
rings are bought by poor people and slipped on
when the real thing is at the pawnbroker's
1t is not before marriage but after, when the
rainy day comes, that these rings ere bought
We sell crosses Of them
.'Who are your best customers?" "WeII.
there are rich women who have their own Jewel
sets initiated; Americans the profession and
Washers, and people who have come down in
the world. When these latter go away for their
holidays to see their friends they don't like to
show their poverty. For few shllIngs they
can get such stock Of jewelry that in their
own towns and villages they are kings and
queens. Then We sell good deal to mashers
on bank holidays and during the holiday season.
Here are some pins, now, that cost q shilling
each. They can have their choice of pearls,
corals and diamonds. A pin like that would
gain any young man the respectful admiration
W tHe Jain noiiuay cIOWus at 1larSate or
Brighton. The Washers favorite jewel, how
ever. is the one-and-threepenny ring set with
rubies and diamonds.
This imitation jewelry is cleverly made and
would not arouse suspicion but for one thing.
The people who wear it won't confine them
selves to what they would naturally wear il
their rubies and diamonds were real; they are
dazzled by the display and put ON too much.
When one sees young man in 3 guinea suit
and what seems to be 30 guinea ring, one
thinks "a 1t must be an heir loom, or t2) that
it must be imitation of the real article.
Some of 1t is certainly very gaudy. Thus, who

''If the other side have the ball and you are
playing end rush you want to get past your

with the ball. II he or the man who Is inter-
fering for him throws you off, dout stop until
he Is safely downed but keep right after him.
Even when he is downed by some other man
on your team you had better fall on him to
keep him from trying to squirm ahead foot
or two.
IF you arc running with the ball youl self
and you are Just inside the touch line and about
to be tackled, you should run of side over the
line, not as IT you meant to do SO, but as though
you didn't see the line and ran over 1t acct
dentally. The reason for that is that when the
ball is carried over the line the side that has 1t
has the privilege of bringing it fifteen yards
into the field, which gives their backs the
choice of running around either end OF the
rush lire, while if you were downed with the
ball just inside of the boundary line you would
only have room on one end to maneuver around.
I'm tackling man." Capt. Poe goes on, as
he sweeps the imaginary players from the
checker board and closes it, 'be sure to tackle
low. 1t is no use grabbing a man around the
shoulders. man does not run with his
shoulders. but with his legs. So, when you
tackle man, dive down at him as if you were
taking header into the water. If he is coming
directly at you, drop on your knees and seize
him around the legs above the knees. If you
can, put your lead between his legs and throw
him. And in falling on the ball, when it has
been put into play and some one has dropped
It, don't fall on it face downward as if you were
sliding to base, but drop on your hight side,
with your right leg drawn up high, SO that if
the ball slips through your arm you won't
lose it, because your leg is there to stop it.
THAT Is enough of ii lesson for one day.
You can go now and run three or four miles
around the track of the gymnasium"
With these words Capt. Poe dismissed his
pupils and turned to go into the college to
catch up in some of his regular.studies.

How the Bison Were Exterminated.

From the New York Herald.
As the Indians hunted them the race of bison
would probably have lasted forever, writes DR..
Carver, but about 1866 the white men turned
their attention to the shaggy monsters of the
plains Large eastern firms organized hunting
parties and paid the shooter $2.5O for each
bison where he lay dead on the plains. I then
went to Southern Nebraska and became a pro-
fessional hunter. The bison consisted Of two
large divisions, the one living in the south and
the other in the north. Their only common
feeding ground was along the Republican river
and its branches in Nebraska. The Indians
were well aware Of that fact and hostile tribes
have had many fight for that territory. It was
not until 1873 that the government put an end
to this by sending the Pawnees south and the
Sioux to their northern reservation.
Like herd Of cattle the bison are always on
the go and are apt to walk out of rife range in
q short time. In moving, however, they al
ways have leader, aud the trick was to kill
any one that started to lead the others of. By
thus killing the leaders We could often shoot
for an hour from behind one clump of grass,
and when they had moved from out of range
the SINNERS would come up, cut the hide In
the ordinary way for skinning, tie the animals
head to stake, hitch team Of horses to the
hide and jerk 1t of. No one will ever know
what immense numbers Of bison were killed by
these hide hunters, but to my certain knowi-
edge S,000, GOO hides were shipped from the
banks OF the Frenchman river in one winter.
AT the close OF that winter a man could 90
along the banks Of the Frenchman for fifty
miles by simply jumping from the carcass Of
one bison to another. Now q few old circus
animals represent the great herds.

Twenty-Five yards; but when he has caught it

The substitute gazed at his captain with adj
miration, and that bearer OF an illustrious name
continues:
Now, we will try run through the center
by one of the halves. We will suppose that
George is playing center rush and that Riggs is
right guard. The half back is to run between
them. As soon rs give the signal which tells
them that Claiming is to run through the

The Literary Vanderbilt,

Kansas City Stars New York Letter.
The other New York family Of enormous
wealth has son with literary aspirations, too.
George Vanderbilt, the youngest Of the present
generation Of Vanderbilts, has manuscript
well along toward readiness for publication in
book form. 1t is q work Of fiction, and was
begun five or six years ago, TO be laid aside
until last summer. At one time George re-
solved to begin at professional writing as
newspaper reporter, and he and George B. Nc
Clellan, IT,, a son of the general, secured en-
ployment on the staff Of a city journal, but
Vanderbilt's health was not robust and his
mother persuaded him against the hard labor
involved in news gathering. Mcclellan carried
out his resolution and has since been industri-
ous--perhaps because there were no millions
for him to lie back idly upon However, he
has Just married great belle and heiress, and
now we shall see whether he will drive his pen
as he did before.

Marked Women.

The fashionable woman finds it little diff

and it is by no means as inexpensive an opera
ton as it is usually supposed She walks out
in her blue coat, with its heavy trimming of
black fur, and comes home with broad black
band around her throat that soap and water
will not remove even if prayer accompanies it.
The finer your skin the more difficult is this
mark to get of, and it is usually best done ms

use of lemon; just halve it and rub the raw

Raw Oysters Self-Digestive.

From Halls Journal Of Health.
"Fothergil ON Indigestion" in speaking of
the oyster being eaten habitually and by pref
erence in the raw or uncooked state, says: sit
is interesting to know that there is a sound
physiological reason at the bottom of this pref
erence. The fawn colored mass which cons.i-
tutes the dainty of the oyster is its liver, and
this is little less than a mass of glycogen; as
sociated with the glycogen, but withheld from
actual contact with it during life. is its apnro-
pirate digestive ferment-the hepatic diastace
The mere crushing between the teeth brings
these two bodies together, and the giycogen Is
at once digessed, without other help, by its
own diastace. The oyster in the uncooked
state, or merely warmed, is, in fact, seIf-dires-
tive. But the advantage Of this provision is
wholly lost by cooking, for the heat employed
immediately destroys the associated ferment.
and q COOKED oyster has to be digested like
any other food by the eaters own digestive
powers.

The American Naval Officer.
From the Bsston Post.

from the 6betOu fOoL
One of the best compliments which have
heard of as paid to the officers Of the squad
ron of evolution" was from an Englishman, who
has long been o resident Of Boston. He said
he was struck by the gentlemanly and modest
demeanor Of these wearers of uniforms, which
impressed him as differing greatly from the
consequential, not to say arrogant air of officers
Of British men-of-war. This peculiarly, he
said, extended to the sailors, who were as
courteous as the officers in affording informa-
ton. why, that squadron" he said, will
furnish better argument for republicanism
than any number Of South American revolu-
tons. It seems to me that tribute of this sort
from foreigner is exceedingly satisfactory
and it opens up considerations of the rela-
ton of manners to official life which have
wide application. The Englishman said he
had seen gray-haired sailors in the British
navy insulted by besrdless midshipmen and he
was much impressed BY the self-respecting APP
pearauce of Jack" on board the squadron Of
evolution, and under this head he included
seamen Of various nationalities, not excepting
Chinese COOKS, assinilated by American disci-
pline.

1T DYES THEIR FEATHERS
That Curious Effect of Cayenne Pep
per ON Canaries.
From the London Standard.

From the London Standard
The following is from the proceedings of the
Berlin physiological society: Starting with the
observed fact that canaries fed with cayenne
pepper acquire rudy plumage, Dr. Sauer-
mann has based upon it a scientific investiga-
ton of canaries, fowls, pigeons and other birds
From these he obtained the following results:
Feeding with pepper only produces an effect
when given to young birds before they moult;
the color Of the feathers Of older birds cannot
be effected. Moisture facilitates the change Of
color to rudy hue, which is again discharged
under the influence of sunlight and cold
A portion OF the constituents OF CAYENNE
pepper is quite inactive, as, for instance. %
erin and several cxtractives; similarly the rad
coloring matter alone of the pepper has M
effect on the color of the feathers. II is ratbar
the triolein, which occurs in the pepner in
large quantities, together with the cbaracter-
istic pigment which brings about the change ~
color, by holding the red pigment Of the pen-
per in solution. Glycerine may be used IN.
stead Of triolein to bring about the same re.
suit.
The same statement holds good with regard
to the feeding OF birds with aniline coIors,
The red pigment OF the pepper is also stored
IN the egg yolk as well as in the feathers. The
first appearance OF the pigment In the yolk
may be observed as q coiored ring four dava
after the commencement of feeding with the
pigment dissolved in fat. After a further two
days feeding the whole yolk is colored.
