Eneots of tho Loss of Lumber.

This "City of Homes" will be CON
siderably affected in building way
next year Not only the supply OF
lumber for this year but that for next
spring has been swept away from
Williamsport, Lock Haven and other
points by the recent floods, and, as a
consequence, prices will be placed so
high that builders will be forced to
cease full operations and wait for lower
prices, This will prove severe blow
to Philadelphia, whose building opera
lions have been increasing with each
year, giving employment to thousands
Of workmen. Many lumber dealers of
this city are refusing orders for lumber
and are holding out to see how far
the prices will go up Philadelphia

Masculine JeweIry.

Tho fashion of wearing jeweIry
among men is growing to higher points
than IL reached even in 1884. IL was
then, you know, the practice reached
high-water mark. 1t attracted good
deal OF attention at the time, as prior to
that the jewelry of men had been notice
able mainly by reason of its absence.
The dudes, who suppressed watch
chains, soarf-pins and the like, al
lowed themselves full liberty in tho
matter of finger-rings, and from this
the general run of clubmen took their
cues. Many fashionable man wore
five or six rings on his fingers.
The great design then was the snake
ring, and after that what was known
as the glove ring. Tho latter consisted
OF a heavy band of gold, usually
square in desigo. in which we're set q
diamond, with a ruby or sapphire on
either side OF it. The stones were set
we'll down in the gold, and were per-
fectly flush with the top, so that a
man could pull a glove on over the
ring without difficulty.
Perhaps the greatest success which
was reached then was when the brace
let appeared as masculine adorn-
ment. The natural result OF all this
OnorY was tiiht INC smaller clerks and
cheap Johns OF the town followed the
suit OF their leaders, and the market
wasfiooded with tawdry jewelry. After
time q good, healthy reaction set in,
and men went back to the ring, which
they always return TO- n
what is that?"
1T is the old signet ring. / am
moro or less familiar with the history
OF jewels, and it has struck me often
that this ring, which monarehs of 20q
years ago wore on the first finger OF
their right hands usually, is the only
one which has "a staple place il the af-
fections of mSnkind. Not only do n.en
return to it after thoy have been led
astray by gaudy diamonds and tho
like, but IL is very often the case that
tho best dressed OF those who nro tho
most exquisite about their iewelry give
up al sorts of precious stones when
they become 40 or 80 years of age and
settle down to tho plain signet ring on
the third finger of their left hand. -
