PRECIOUS STONES,
Gems Only Priced for Their VuI gar Worth,
Not for Their Natural Beauty.

The very small catalogue of precious
stones popular with us may lie one
cause of our poverty in design: another
in our few forms, says the Contemporary;
Rccieav. 4 brooch, earrings, finger
rings-many people have no idea beyond
th0sc-a iocket. rows of something
round the neck, studs, stars for the
hair-voiia touti These orthodox set
cast and polished and machine cngrav-
ed. are as deadening as bad laws.
Where there is no liberty there is no
enjoyment. and what becomes of the
joyau, the joyous gaud? 1t seems there
are only Il certain number of things one
can do with diamonds. After the dia-
mond come some half-dozen we'll
known names down to the dismal gar.
net.
Perhaps the eminent lapidary and
mineralogist. Bryce Wright, has done
more than anyone in the present day tC
increase the catalogue of our possible
ornaments, as he has materially aided
science by introducing a number of
hitherto unknown minerals. At his
museum in Saville row, haunt of ever.
increasing splendor and interest, speci-
mems of extraordinary beauty may be
, seen-not only the largest diamonds
and sapphires, the purest crystals and
lapis in the world, and other things
that delight the merely rich. but curl
osities-white sapphires, colored dia-
monds, black pearls, pink emeralds,
and exquisite specimens of novelties,
such as hiddenide, Australian opals.
and scores of beautiful materials which
most of us only know from the Revela-
ton of st. John; fabulous glories such
as fire children's dreams in Nine.
| d'Aulnoy's fairy tales-where entire ta-
bles of emerald, miniatures covered
with sheet of diamond, and bracelets
cut in single ruby are quite common
Just such exquisite and rare objects
may be seen at Bryce Wright's. along
with many beautiful historical antiqui-
ties, worth any length of journey to
view.
In my opinion there is no material SO

A Observation-Disclosures.

The only jack-rabbit farm in the
country, so far as known, is situated on
flat alkali section near town in GEN.
trail Kansas. 1t and its jack-rabbits are
the property of a coursing association,
which will not sell rabbit to anyone
else, and which depends on its farm fol-
the supply of hares taken to other cities
in park coursing events. A year ago
the projectors of this novel farm had
only about thirty jack-rabbits, which
had for the most part been purchased
when young from farmer boys who had
found them. To-day, owing to accre-
tions from similar sources and to the
very rapid multiplication of the species,
there are between 200 and 800 full
grown jacks on the farm, and the ques-
tion of supply may be fairly said to be
settled.

FORTY PROVERBS OF TIE SEA.


The sea isn't burning,
Good roller, good sailor.
The sea refuses no river.
The full moon eats clouds.
Every port serves in a gale.
I'll goes the boat without oars.
A large ship needs much water.
He who can steer need not row.
From the boat we get to the ship.
In calm sea every man is pilot.
Every sea, great as it is, grows calm.
Don't Judge of the ship from the
land.
Women are ships and must be
manned.
Being at sea, sail; being on land set
tie.
To rotten ship every wind is con-
trary.
Better lose an anchor than the whole
ship.
When one falls into the sea he stays
there.
What comes by starboard goes by
larboard.
Where the ship can go the brigantine
can go.
He who would learn to pray should
GO to sea.

The Value OfTax Reform

A good many people in this state do
not appreciate fully the advantages
which la g accrued to them from the
tax-reform laws of 1884. That the
facts may be made clear to every tax
payer in the State the following alb
stracts are made from official reports.
The fir table, compiled from the re-
port of the State Board of Assessors
and the reports of local assessors, SHOWS
a comparison of the value of railroad

subject TO taxation. Here it is.

Horrible Deed of an Insane Man.

Frank Fitz.immon-. private OF
Company +, Fort keogh, and well
Snown ss captain Of the Fort Keogh
base ball club, has gone insane, and
while confined 10 the guard house to
prevent his using violence toward
Others about him he gouged both OF
his eyes out, and il now in a horrible
state.
Tue first indications of his disorder
appeared several weeks ago. when he
manifested an alteration of the mind
aud was ordered by DR.. Harvey, post
physician, to be placed In the hospital,
and he was put under treatment.
Finding that the man was insane
beyond any possibility Of treatment at
the post hospital, The doctor had
made out papers for his removal to a
government insane asylum. He was
all this while perfectly tractable and
harmless, but a few days ago he COM
menced acting in a violent manner
and WAS placed in the guard house
where he could be kept under control.
On Friday night be youged out both
bis eyes with his right thumb. The
right eye was torn entirely from its
socket and thrown upon the floor, the
left eye was gouged out and lay upon
his cheek SC that it had to be removed.
The doctor says that his insanity il
of a character that the brain Is not
susceptible to sense Of physical pain,
as he remains quiet and does not expe.
rlence any pain whatever. 1t cannot
be doubted that the mans brain Is so
diseased az TO make him hopelessly
insane.
He had enlisted in Columbus and
had nearly served out his time. He
bore the reputation OF being apeace-
able and quiet man and a good soldier.
