Beyond the Grave.

Colonel Robert 1ngersoll, writing of
another recent work on Immortality,
makes this most liberal statement OF
his belief IN the possibility OF a life
beyond the grave: III We admit the
existence OF 4 God OF initiate wisdom

there must be n wo1id better than
this. But hov do wa account for one
worse than Ibis? That Is TO say: Ii
injustice triumphs here, way not

Certainly God will DC no better then
than now. Still, 1t may be possible

al that happens Will be consistent with
wisdom anu compassion. Love and

tlat We so back 10 unconscious dust,
and yet the heart viii always say:
Perhaps there is another life But
whether there IS o. not let us al paint
on the canvass OF the future apictGre
that delights and satisfies the soul.
We know that in this world after Joy
comes grief, as after day comes night,
and it may be there is some world
where after gr;c: comes JOY, as after
night comes aay."

RICH GEMS IN CLOVER.
Costly Ornaments Designed by Jewellers
in Emhlems of Iuck


The influence of "Cloyer's" success at
exceedingly widespread This is shown
by the extensive and increasing use of the
four-leayed emblem of luck in designs of
endless variety. The stationers have
caught the idea and have emblazoned the
daintiest sheets of note paper with raised
leaves of four-leaved clover in gold and
silver and various shades in bronze.
One of the prettiest of these is a square
corresponding card. in the upper left-hand
corner of which Is stamped in raised de-
sign four-leaf clover of the most, delicate
shade of green, with stem Of yellowish
gold. The design is also used on the flap
of the envelope.
The jewellers have even exceeded the
stationers in their use of the clover, and
the shop windows and show. cases are filled
with all sorts of ornaments in the design
of the four lucky leaves. There is an
astonishing variety of clover scarf-pins for
gentlemen. Some Of these are in yellow
gold, with what is known as satin finish.
having either ruby, diamond, or per-
haps tiny emerald set at the junction of
the leaves. A very pretty design is one
with enameled leaves of bright green and
q curling stem of rich yellow gold. A
costly pin is one with four emeralds set
as four cloyer-leaves, with diamond-in-
crusted stem. Diamonds. set as clover
leaves on a stem of gold, also form some of
the prettiest and most expensive of the
ornaments for gentlemen's neckwear. For
the ladies, the jewellers have designed some
beautiful lace-pins, having the figure of
the rare four-leaved emblem.
One of the prettiest OF these has the
leaves of green enamel, a curling golden
stem, and nesting at the base of the leaves
a fawless white diamond glittering in the
sunlight like great dewdrop in the early
morning, the beautiful effect being hight
ened by the background of bright green
leaves for the pure white gem.
There are designs of clover leaves and
blossoms in ornaments for the hair, COM
posed Of both silver and gold, very pretty
variety of clover earrings, and some in
enamel, and diamonds for bracelets. The
silversmiths have gone extensively into
the manufacture of ornaments designed
from the clover leaf, and the lucky en-
blem can now be found forming the clasps
of purses, on the silver handles of ladies'
parasols, and even on the clasps for gar
tiers. The clover seems to have Jumped
into prominence as the national emblem of
good luck, and the great success of the
MCCALL company in "Clover" appears to
have had great deal to do with it.
