Art in Enameled Jewelry.

"Enameled jewelry," said manu-
facturer the other day, sis very much
the rage just now, and we have
considerable difficulty in getting COM
petent workmen to do the coloring. You
see the fashion runs to marguerites,
clover leaves. daisies, ETC., and much
care and artistic taste have to be exer-
cised in laying on the exact shades
which when fired will bring out the
chosen flowers as nearly as possible to
natures tints. There are very few
enamelers-that is, of course, high art
enamelers-to be secured in this city,
and, strange as it may seem-and yet
why should it be any thing stranger
one of the best, if not the very best, is a
woman. She will not work for less than
one hundred dollars week, and she has
no trouble in finding constant employ
ment at that figure. She is splendid
colorist, and is full of suggestions as to
designs. Women of such capacities are
always in demand. IN. Y. Times.

CALIFORNIA FIGS.
The Pacific Coast Getting Ready Tn Co...
pete with the Turks

In the course OF an article on flo cult-
ure in California, the San Francisco
Call says: We have good trees. some of
which are called Smyrnas and some
white Adriatics; they produce excellent
figs, which, when properly prepared and
packed, compare favorably with the
best Smyrna figs. 1t is generally nm
derstood in this State that flo trees
should begin to bear in their second
year, and should yield full cron in
their fourth. But in Smyrna the best
trees which produce the fig of com.
MERGE do not bear full crop until thew
are eight or ten years old. We are 50
impatient people that many fig grow
ers may have chafed at so long a de-
lay and have cut down excellent trees
In figs, as in every kind of fruit we
must, if we want to succeed, produce
the best and nothing but the
best The second best is not worth
growing at all. There are grocers at
the East who deal in imported fips
Some of them exhibit in their
sample rooms drums of beautiful
clear, misunderstanding Smyrna fruit
and beside them bags of small, blacl,
figs, labeled Here's your California
article!' This is considered fair. for
every one looks out for himself: but if
will be our fault if in few years from
now we do not beat the Turks in figs. az
we are beating the Spaniards in raisins
and the French in prunes. We have the
soil to do it; all we want is the reouisite
knowledge Of the industry.
Dried figs would be even a larger
source of income than raisins. The
United States, imports, one year within
another, 10000, 900 pounds of dried fios
annually from Europe. There is con-
stantly increasing demand for the fruit
The medicinal properties, which were
known to the old practitioners. are now
better realized than they used to be.
Periodical use of the dried fig, either in
the shape of pudding or a dessert
fruit is a preservation against manv
annoying maladies. When Californ ia is
able to ship 1000 or 5000 tons of dried
figs each winter to the East. the con-
sumption will probably be larger than

ODD CHURCH MUSIC,
The Queer Practical Joke Played by a
Russian Organist.

The Queer Practical Joke Played by a
Russian Organist.
A handsome, clever and highly-edu-
Gated young RuIian, bankrupt through
operations on the bourse of st. Peters
burg, came to this city some years ago
with the wreck of his fortune, and for
time figured largely in the most ex-
elusive social set. After a time, all
his money having been spent, he
dropped out of society, and for some
years earned a precarious living in
various mysterious ways. Later
he took to the stage, and
his fortunes began to look
up. 1t was soon after his
latest turn of fortune that an old &C
quaintance, going to church in fash.
ionable suburb, saw the Russian bound
on the same errand in company with
some of the set with whom he had
mingled in earlier days. The Russian,
who is highly-skilled musician, was
asked to play the organ, and ever body
was delighted with the delicious,
dreamy voluntary with which he
opened.
A month later, the Russian and his
old acquaintance met again at the
rooms of friend in New York, and the
subject of that marvellous voluntary
came up. The Russian was asked to re-
peat it, and he acceded to the request,
saying at the same time that it was
an improvisation. He played it
as before, and all present were delight
ed. Don't you recognize it?" he asked.
Several of them found something IA
miliar in the music, but no one could
place it. s'Listen," said the Russian,
while L play it rapidly;" and sitting
down at the piano he ratified off what
all recognized as Johnny Get Your
Gun" BY playing it slowly with new
notes skillfully interviewer, he had pro-
produ ced the dreamy composition with
which all had been SO charmed.-Chica-

ECCENTRIC LOVERS.
Bridal Couples Who Were Married In
Very Strange Places.

NcTy
Early last month the Primitive Meth
,dist Chapel at Leighton Buzzard, Bed
forisnire, tEngland, was burnt down,
the fire breaking out one night after
harvest festival, and only the front
md two side walls were left standing.
Before the confagration occurred
marriage had been arranged to take
place at the chapel between young
nan and young woman resident in
he town.
In spite of the disastrous event that
lad happened, the wedding party as
;embled on the spot at the appointed
hour, and, space inside the doorway
having been cleared, the ceremony was
celebrated amid the ruins. The regis
trar-general had been com municated
with in the interval and he replied
that he should raise no objection to
marriage solemnized on licensed prem
ises which were still inclosed by boun-
larry walls or parts of such walls.
A romantic wedding occurred at Mauch
Chunk, in Pennsylvania, on August "a.
There is a switchback railway on
large scale in that romantic spot, and
The wife of the owner had invited some
friends to share moonlight ride over
the novel road. The party was about
starting on the homeward journey down
the mountain side, when two gentlemen
and lady approached the owner and
asked permission to return with them.
Said one of the gentlemen, pointing to
the lady:
This is my prospective bride. About
ten years ago we agreed that when we
were married we would have the knot
tied on the switchback. We had lovers
quarrel and l went to San Francisco.
About year ago we began correspond
ing again, and on Sunday night we de-
termined to carry out our intention. We
wanted to wait until tomorrow, but
what's the matter with our having it
lone by moonlight"
Permission given, the moonlight party
thronged about the happy pair. Then
all boarded the car, and the prospective
bridegroom shouted:
''Now, let her go!''
While the car was going at the rate of
mile in thirty seconds, and was MAX
ing its circuitous dash along the edge of
the precipice, the moon looked down
and smiled on the fastest marriage on
record. One gentleslan was maid Of
honor, another was bridesmaid, and a
third gave the bride away.
Manchester, in New Hampshire, was
the scene of novel wedding on August
20 last The happy couple were Miss
Addfe Brooks and Mr.. James f. Boyd.
The nuptial knot was tied with the
couple standing within a white-draped

The Child of the FutuRe.

1t is dreadful point about these
microbes that the only way to avoid
having them in virulent form is to
have them in an artificial or attenuated
form. The children of the future will
not run through the present gamut OF
infantile disease, but they will probably
be subjected to- incubation with various
microbes every few months. First,
they will be vaccinated for small pox:
when they have recovered from that
they will be taken to Pasteur Institute
to have mild form Of rabies. Next
they will be given dose of the comma
bacilli to prevent cholera, and so on
through all the ever-growing series of
disease microbes. o, luckless child of
the future! you will never be i'll and
never be well; your health will be awful
~ monotonous, you will never know the
WEAKNESS of the first night of measles,
when it was so nice to lie in mothers
lap and feel her cool hand on your fore
head; you will never know the joys of
convalescence. when oranges were num-
erous and every one was kind to YOU be-
cause you were not well; and your end
will be to die of debility. How glad we
are that we live in the present, with all
its ups and downs Of health to lend va

THE PRINCESS THERESA.
A Royal Lady Whose Contributions to Sci

Royal Lady Whose Contributions to Sci
ence Are of Great Value.
Princess Theresa, the only daughter
of the Prince Regent Luitpold, of Ba-
varia, has again attracted the attention
of the scientific world by work just
published under the title 'Under der
Polarkreis, which contains an account of
her journey through Norway to the
North cape, giving most val liable geo.
graphical, ethnographical and general
information about the parts of Scandi-
navia she traversed. The gifted Prin-
cess is an experienced traveller, who has
visited many countries, among them
Brazil, and who published five years ago
record of her trave Is in Russia, which
she undertook under an assumed name,
and accompanied only by few attend
ants, in order to obtain truer insight
into the characteristic features of the
country than is generally possible to
royal travellers. This work bears the
title 'Reiseeindrucke und Sixteen aus
Husband" and has been pronounced by
competent judges as valuable contri-
button to the knowledge of the great
empire and its inhabitants. The Prin-
cess, who is now in her fortieth year,
writes under the pseudonym "Therese
Y. Bayer, and understands how to COM
bine accuracy of detail with peculiar
charm of narration, equally attractive
to the scientific and the general reader.
There is nothing of the blue-stocking
in the personal appearance of Princess
Theresa, who resembles in piety and
benevolence her mother, Princess Au-
gusta, who died in 1864. Since she has
grown up she has been the presiding
genius of her fathers household, asso-
ciating in this capacity with the artists
and learned men who are admitted to
the encourage of the Prince Regent

Not so Qleenly, grand and tall,
Oft saw your tiny shadow

Always with the arms uplifted,

Found her fathers goodnight kiss.
And tonight, my fair young daughter.

Thrown by gasiight on the wall.
Arms thrown out and face uplifted-
Could it be for kisses still?

THE PARDONlNG POWER.
Why 1t Should Never BE Exercised With
out Careful DeIiberatiOn.

Why 1t Should Never BE Exercised With
out Careful DeliberatiOn.
A man in the Massachusetts State
prison, after serving fifteen years Of
thirty years sentence, was recently par
doned out by the Governor.
If all reports were true, he was an ex-
emplary prisoner, gentlemanly, indus
trious, quiet and well-behaved. His
conversation with visitors was so intel
ligent, and evinced such high concep-
lions of morality and manhood, that
they went away with the idea firmly i'm
planted that the man was suffering un-
Justly, and that the State prison was no
place for such good and pure man.
Philanthropic women were moved to
compassion by the spectacle of this
noble man suffering a felOn's doom, and
at once began to circulate petition beg
ging the Governor to pardon him. Infiu-
entail clergymen exerted themselves in
his behalf, eulogiZing his virtues and
expressing their firm belief in his full
reformation. At length the Governor
was prevailed upon to pardon him.
This embodiment of all the virtues
was once again turned loose into So
ciety, which had so loudly clamored for
his companionship.
In two months after his pardon, he
decoyed his own brother to a distant
town in New Hampshire, sent bullet
through his heart, cut off his head and
arms, and buried his body in the woods.
This is the kind of saint the pardoned
prisoner Isaac SawteDe turned out to be.
His case illustrates the ease with
which shrewd prisoners can work upon
the feelings of impassionate women
and philanthropic but hardly level
headed men. 1t is easy for criminal
to be good when there is no opportunity
for him to be vicious, and when SIM
ulated virtue may obtain him pardon.
Thousands of signatures could be OBJ
tanned on petition for the pardon OF
the most hardened criminal, if the petit
ton were presented by an experienced
and persuasive solicitor
For these reasons the pardoning pow
er should never be exercised until after
the most careful deliberation and inves-
tigation. Many criminal in the last
stages of consumption has developed an
amazing vitality, and lived to good old
age after being pardoned out of prison.
Criminals are adopts in deception. For
this reason the most deliberate care
should be exercised in granting pardons.

a HOPELESS CASE,
The Ridiculous Adventures of an Absent
Minded Man.


The freaks of absent-minded people
are often amusing to hear OF, but so
great is the inconvenience which they
cause to the perpetrators and to their
friends that one never hears of them
without the feeling that absent-minded-
ness is to be Stunned as disease, and
fought against in every possible way.
An amusing instance of the plight into
which an absent-minded man may con-
trive to get himself occurred at an ordi-
nation in Maine not long since, when
number of clergymen were gathered to
ordain one of their brethren.
The place was country town, and the
visitors, instead of being quartered at
hotels, were distributed among the
members of the society at whose church
the ordination was to take place.
DR.. Blank, who was to preach the SER
mon, stayed with an old deacon, and, as
it CHANGED, was quartered in room
upon the door of which was spring
lock.
Just as the moment came for driving
to church, DR.. Blank appeared in the
parlor where the family were waiting,
and announced that when he had come
out of his room he had forgotten to put
the catch of the lock down, and had
left on the table within not only the
kew, but the sermon he was about to
deliver.
For an instant there was complete
CONSERVATION, but fortunately the son
of the family recollected that there was
a duplicate key, which was produced,
and the doctor went placidly upstairs
after his manuscript.
Three minutes later he reappeared
with an expression of mingled con-
triton and despair upon his face, ami
explained that when he got to his room
he could not remember what he had
come for, and that laying down the key,
he had started to ask, but had been
brought to his senses when the door
once more swung to behind him, and he
realized that it had again shirt in his
sermon.
There was no locksmith within call,
and it would have been desperate case
for the doctor had not the son once more
come to the rescue by procuring lad
der, and climbing in at the window O.
the chamber.
He took the double precaution of TAX
ing from the table his own key, and OF
setting the door open with a chair
against it, and the clergyman, who was
profuse in his thanks, once more went
upstairs to get his sermon.
When he came down, the family
started for church, and just as they
reached it the hostess remarked, with
smile, that the congregation would never
know how near they came to having no
sermon. At the words sudden pale
ness came over the face of Doctor Blank.

A SPANISH STATESMAN.
An Americans Visit to the House OF
Senior CASTELAR,.

An Americans Visit to the House of
Senior Castelar,. !
A visit to Senior CASTELAR,, the Spanish
statesman, reveals him more a man Of
letters than practical politician. In
deed, his chief energies are given to-
work on his newspapers. He lives in
the same house that he has occupied
ever since 1878, when he was practically
the ruler of Spain. The house is not
his own, however. Senior CASTELAR, occui
pies the second and third floors. Two
rooms, his secretary'S Office and his own
sanctum, have the walls covered with
plain, implanted pine shelves, which,
are packed full of books in many lam,
guages. When he writes, he puts only
about dozen words on a sheet of pa
per, so loose and struggling is his pen,
manship. Oftener, however, he dic-
tates to his secretary, walking restless
ly up and down the room as he does So.
For many years, his eldest sister,,
Senorita Concha CASTELAR,, had charge of
his household. She was his nurse and
guardian in his childhood, and superin-
tended his entire education. The most
trivial annoyance, the slightest indis-
position of Concha, would trouble him
more than state affairs or literary BUSH
ness. Senorita Concha declined all Of
fers of marriage, of which she had
many 1attering ones, and remained
single, in order that she might be her
bachelor brothers housekeeper and COM
panion. When he got into difficulties
with the government before the revolu-
ton of 1868, she followed him into exile
and was banished from Madrid to dis
tant provincial town, simply be-
cause she was his sister. She shared
his prosperity when he became the
most prominent of the republican
statesmen after the revolution and dur
ing the federal republic. He took her
with him on all his summer trips to
France and the Spanish highlands in
the Basque Provinces. She was IA
vorite, not only with the republicans,
but in general Madrid society. She was
staunch, church-going Catholic. Near
~ every Sunday morning her brother
escorted her to the door of the fashiona-
BILE Calatravees Chapel or some other
church, and would then stroll about I'M
til he thought it time to go back for
Concha. Since his sisters death, nearly
year ago, Senior CASTELAR, has kept her
room exactly in the condition it was In
before her death, and allows no one to
enter it but himself. He spends an
hour there every day. His bereave-
ment in which the Queen-Regent sent
him the tenderest message of sympathy,
made him more ready to show his in
terest in the welfare of the infant King.
