Why Jewelry Turns Black.
From the JeMeler,s Meeklv.


Every jeweler has doubtless met with
many curious incidents in his business
career. Shortly after the holidays there
came into my place pleasant-mannered
young man who expressed desire to
look at some gold necklaces. It is
needless to say that sold him one. It
was 14-karats and very pretty. Two
days later the door was flung open, and
in rushed the same young man, boiling
with rage. He threw the necklace on
the counter, demanded the return of
his money, and threatened to expose
me as swindler. 1t took half an hour
10 learn his story.
1t seems that after presenting the
necklace to his lady love he had taken
her to a reception, ornamented with his
present. After the first dance there
was commotion in the corner of the
room, and the rivals of our customers
best girl were tittering among them
selves and whispering about her.
The young lady looked in the glass
and almost tainted at the sight. Her
beautiful neck was almost black from
the friction of the necklace. She
changed her mind about fainting, re-
turned home with her brother, and sent
the necklace back to her young man,
with note that she did not like his
brass.
I tested the necklace in his presence
and proved to him that it was full four
teen karats. About thpt time young
physician called to purchase scarf-pln.
he had overheard part OF the story, and
asked to hear the balance, as he be-
lieved he could throw some light on the
subject. Pretty soon he laughed out
right, and said: "Why, sir, the trouble
is with your girl, and not the necklace.
She has too much sulphur, iron, mer-
curry, salt, or acid in her blood, and as
any of these substances has an affinity
for gold the explanation is clear. |
have patients for whom mercurial
medicines have been prescribed, and
the effect is that their fingers upon

Electricity for Fire Engines.

claims to have discovered new system
whereby a material reduction of labor
In the fire department may be brought
about 1t is called the Electric Fire
Engine" and consists Of motor, to
take the place of the present steam en-
CINE. The motors would receive their
power from the dynamos of the electric
companies.
Mr.. Ruther's idea is to lay down:wires
from the nearest dynamos to boxes
placed in closed proximity to every n.y.
drant. The instant an alarm OF fire is
sounded an automatic arrangement
would start the dynamos supplying the
power. On the arrival of the engine at
the scene of the fire a connection of
the wires would be made and pumps
set to work Immediately.
A World reporter interviewed, yester-
day, practical tiremen Of this city on the
alleged new discovery. There is gen.
erai consensus of opinion among the
majority of fremen that the employ

American Machinery Abroad.
From BraQstree t 8.

From Braostreet's
The exhibit OF machinery at the Paris
Exposition is notably large and COM
plete one. The pre-eminence of the
United States in this line is shown by
the tact that the American machinery eA-
hlbit, according to the New York Asso-
ciated Press dispatch, occupies one
third of the entire space of the big ma
chinery palace of the Exposition, which
is nearly | 400 feet long, $40 feet wide,
and ITO high. That electricity consti-
tutes an absorbing problem of mechanic
al invention, and physical dis
covery is shown by the prom
lnence its apparatus occupies.
Throughout Machinery Hall and in
various other parts of the exhibition
there are $40 exhibitors in this branch.
The universally of the study devoted
to it is shown in the range of the coun-
tries represented by apparatus. These
countries include France, Germany,
Great Britain, America, Belgium,
Switzerland, Algeria, Austria, Hungary,
Chilli, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Japan,
Norway, Portugal, Russia and Finland.
The Edison exhibit occupies one-half

Great Troubles and Small.

"Man is bundle of contradictions.
He breasts calamity with smile. and

When the foolish conduct of Landor,
the scholar, had made it necessary for
him to sell his personal property, trans
fer his real estate to his eldest son, and
hurry off to the Continent, he arrived
suddenly at Mr.. Forster's house, in
London, while Dickens and other guests
were at dinner.
Dickens fastened to greet his friend
expecting to find him cast down; but
the old man illustrated one of his nota-

and talked in his most genial vein about
Latin poetry.
He went to Florence. and lived in
rooms above those occupied by his
friends, the Brownings, who used to
send his dinner up to him every day.
Dinner was TO him an important
event. He would stand watch in hand
as the hour drew nigh, and if the dim

SWIFT'S SPECIFIC is a simple
vegetable compound prepared from
roots freshly gathered from the forests.
The formula was obtained from the
Creek Indians by the whites who had
witnessed the wonderful cures of blood
diseases made by that tribe. It has

greatest blessing to mankind in curins

after all other remedies had failed.

Color of the Hair and Ewes.

Mr.. Topinard has been making a sta
tistical inquiry into the colors of the
eyes and hair In France, and from his
100000 observations he deduces many
interesting results, one of the most Gu
formed from mixture of blondes and
brunettes the hereditary blood coloring
comes out in the eyes, and the brunette
element reappears in the hair. To this
tendency probably is to be attributed
the rarity of a combination of light
hair with dark eyes. Several observers
have asserted that the American peo-
pie, who are prominently mixed
race, are becoming a dark haired and
blue-ayed nation, and if this be true,
such development must be owing to
the working of the law formulated by

A Multitude of Ailments.

The ailments which afiict the kidneys and
bladder are SO numerous, that merely to name
them would fill space far outrunning the limits
of this article. Suffice it to say, that they are
both obstinate and dangerous. To their pre-
vention Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is well
adapted. The stimulus which it lends to the ac-
ton OF the kidneys when they are lethargic
servet to counterfeit tendency in them to lapse
first, into state of pernicious inactivity, and
afterwards into one of positive organic disease
which soon destroys their delicate integuments,
poisons the blood and causes death. A double
purpose is served by this depurent 1t promotes
activity of the kidneys, and eXpels impurities
from the blood which have natural channel
of outlet, except these organs. Constipation,
dyspepsia are also remedied by this medicine OF
thorough action and wide scope.

Ninety Miles an hour.
From the Philadelphia Record


single mile in thirty-nine seconds
and eight miles covered at this pro-
d1g1ous speed, was the record made the
other day on the Bound Brook Rail
road by engine No. 206, of the Wootten
pattern, that drew the fast train which
esves Philadelphia at 7:3O A. NJ.
There were five cars in the
train, and John Hogan, a vet
eran engineer, was in the cab.
The massive Strong locomotive, which
has recently been tried on the Reading
Railroad, took the fast express to New
ork Tor number of dayo, and when
NO: ZO6 made its remarkable run it was
Trying to surpass the record of it's rival.
The speed recorded is equivalent to a
rate OF over ninety miles an hour The
record Is probably the fastest ever
maize In this part of the country
Some years ago Long Tom," a New
Jersey Central locomotive, drew a train
carrying Chester A. Arthur, then Presi-
dent, and party of friends at the rate
OF mile in thirly-seven seconds, as it
was claimed, but the achievement has
been regarded with some doubt. An
otnef performance has been recalled bv
the record OF No. 206. The Shaw engine,
which has latelv been running on
the Baltim ore q Ohio Railroad, made a
trIal OF speed some years ago before the
ONO railroad commissioners. A mile
was made In forty-seven seconds, and
Tor SIX miles rate of seventy-two miles
an nour was maintained without the
the maximum of performance being
reached. 1t is likely that this Shaw
locomotive will make an attempt to Sc
cure the record either on the Baltimore
q ONO or the Atlantic City Railroad.
1t haG been decided by the Pennsyl-
wanna Railroad to send one of its best
engines, perhaps 'Long-legged No. 1O,'
TO England to be tried on the roads
there. 1t will make its first appearance
on the London & Northwestern Rail
road. AS the English railroads are
much straighter than those in this coun-
try, railroad men are much interested
to see what an American locomotive
can do on a Decline track.
