Orchid JeWelry.

Orchid jewelry has not yet become
the fashion, althoug hone sees at the OPP
era or at great ball now and then a
gentlewOman whose cOrsage is adorned
with a single magnificent orchid of
gold and enamel. The one jcweler in
town who has attempted the orchid
jewels has produced about 100 of them
in three years. and has sold only a
small percentage of that number.
When an orchid is to be produced in
jcwelry a perfect specimen of the flow
or is obtained, and an exact model is
made in pure silver. This can be done
before any change has taken place in
the blossom. US the metal is soft and
easily worked. The model preserves
imperishable material the form of one
variety of orchid. At the same time the
coloring of the blossom is reproduced
on paper by skilled draughtsman.
From the silver model II copy OF gold
is produced. and this forms the ground
work of the jewel itself. Gold is chosen
because it is best suited for enamcling.
The latter process is the most difficnlt
of all. since it is necessary to initiate
not only the color but the textile of the
flower. The enamel is applied with
brush and hardened by exposure to
high temperature in an oven. If the
jewel is to be enriched with dimonds,
dimOnd-setter must have hand in the
work. Some of the most striking var'c'
ties of the orchids have been thus repro
duced. and they make peculiarly mag
nlicent jewels. The largest are
from four to six inches in diameter.
and in some the coloring is of the most
brilliant sort. One outcome of the eX'
periments with cnamelcd orchids has
been the reproduction of small FRUIT
in gold and enamel. -Ncw York Sam

gust aud September, but storms OF
this nature may occur in any part OF
the year. The months of greatest
frequency. as determed from record
OF 20S years, are April, May, June and
July. The single month OF greatest
frequency is May. April following

siderably exceeds the number from
any other state, but little weight can
be given this comparison, owing to the
want Of thorough investigation OF the
subject OF windfalls in other states.
From a careful investigation OF the
origin OF tornadoes and their geographic
ical distribution, there is every rea-
son TO believe that these storms were
as frequent and violent 200 years ago
as now. Moreover there appears to be
no cause for any unusual change in
the annual frequency OF tornadoes for

It Didn't Take Lcng.

A big man who looked like he might
be a senator or a rich merchant II re-
tired banker or something of that
sort, walked down the street, a few
evenings ago, and stopping under a
lamp post, looked intently upward. A
policeman saw him and stepped over
to that side OF the walk to see what it
meant. The next man who happened
along also stopped, and after catching
what he thought was the proper
range, began to look. Another man
came up and did tho same thing.
Pretty soon young fellow and his
girl caught sight of tho starers aud
they began to see what there was to
be seen. Presently some one in the
rapidly increasing party spoke up:
whats all this mean?" he asked
the policeman.
Cit along wild yez," responded the
official.
just then the big man turned
around.
MY goodness he exclaimed.
"what on earth is this crowd here
for?'
What are you looking at?" asked
ono of the bystanders.
Looking at?" echoed the gent e.
man, "why, bless me, l was only alb

HOLIDAYS IN AUSTRALIA.
The People OF Tia Far-OT Land Taxi.
Things Easily.

The easy-going methods of business
life in Australia, which is one of the
things that most forcibly impress the
American visitor. is in no way better
illustrated than in the great number of
holidays with which the colonists in
dulge themselves. says letter from
Melbourne to the Boston journal.
How many dies non there are in the
Australian commercial calendar can
not at the moment say. through want
of ready reference, but my impression
is that they average one week the
year round. This is certainly not an
extravagant estimate if we consider
not only the DAYS appointed for public
festivity, but also those that are set
aside by various guilds and trades.
The butchers. the bakers, and the can
dlestick- makers. this manufactory and
that wholesale warehouse. all have at
least one day of special jubilation in
addition to those legally set aside bv a
liberal and paternal government. If
we count the days that are in part or
wholly wasted in preparation for these
celebrations and in recovery there
from, the total would be something
startling.

what bearing this observation had on

surprised when l expressed this opin-
ion: "Ah WELL" said he, 'you see
the men have not got back to work yet.
They make rather merry at the picnic,
OF course, and are apt to keep it up
when they get home. and we never ex-
pect to see much of them until after
Sunday-Saturday afternoon being
regular half-holiday anyhow, don't
you know. However, we shall proba-
bly, send home your order by Wednes-
day." One gets used to this sort of
thing in Australia.

On the river of life as float along,
see with the spirits sight
That many nauseous weed of wrong
Has root in seed of right.
For evil is good that has gone astray,
And sorrow is only blindness,
And the world is always under the sway
OF changeless law of kindness.
The commonest error truth can make
Is shouting its sweet voice hoarse,
And sin is only the souls mistake
In misdirecting its force.
And love, the faircst of all fair things
That ever to men descended,
Grows rank with nettles and poisonous
things
Unless it is watched and tended.
There could not be anything better than
this
Old world in the way it began,
And though some matters have gone amiss
From the great original plan
And however dark the skies may appear,
And however souls may bfunder,
l tell you it all will work out clear,
For good lies over and under.

the crowd by lifting one log three
times.
After its performance was over it
crawled to its masters shoulder, where
it sat, occasionally running around his
neck or down into his bosom. The boy
says he tanned the spider when it was
young. first by feeding it every day
until it grew accustomed to him, then
gradually taught it the tricks it knows.
He declares that it is much more in.
telligent than any dog. and very
tractable, though uncompromising in
its enmity to anyone but himself. 1t

with slender overlapping fangs. The

grapes from vines that have been ring

A great deal OF the bad milk sent to
market is due to natural causes for
which the farmer is not always re-
sponsibe; but tho recent investi-
cations and experiments with bacteria
in milk are such as 10 make it plain
for most dairymen to avoid great
deal Of the unhealthful milk. Every
one who handles milk for market
should have Mt least an intelligent
understanding OF the nature OF bacteria
Or microbes. IS they are called. They
exist in air, water, soil and animal.
ard vegetable life. Cold destroys
them; heat develops them, and as a
result they are found In milk in a
dangerous condition during hot wealth
er. A high temperature OF heat will
kill them. but it takes a greater
amount to kill their spores. which in
time become as active us the microbes.
Milk contains several species OF bac-
terra, and they have different actions
upon the milk and cream. 1t is due to
their development that the cream Is
''ripened, y and that milk sours and
curdles. Bacteria requires time for
their development, and hence cream
or milk that has stood for some time
abound the most in these microbes
They collect in the cracks and crevices

dangerous Milk poured into such
cans will become contaminated, and
will communicate the poison to other
cans into which it may subsequently
be poured. In this way poisoned milk
spreads rapidly, and causes no end OF
mischief. Dirt and uncle anliness are
especially favorable to the growth OF
bacteria. and cans that are not proper
ly cleaned. as the milk is poured out
OF them. will become great breeding
places for the germs. Milk cans that
are returned from the city on hot days.
will invariably abound in microbes.
for they are seldom cleaned out before
they are re-shipped. After they are
received they must be thoroughly
cleansed and purified before other milk
is poured into them. The dairyman
gets all the blame for impure milk,
and hence he should be the one tc
exercise great carefulness. He has
everything to lose.
