A new BUSINESS METHOD

s. H. Baynard has adopted a new plan that
is now prevailing In western cities, whereby
the opportunity Is given to procure good
watch for very low price, through the
agency of cooperative clubs. This plan Is as
follows: Clubs are composed of forty MEM
bers, who pay one dollar fee. which payment
goes to the originator of the plan. When the
club Is formed they mutually agree to purchase
forty watches for the sum of seven hundred
and sixty-ive dollars. Each week thereafter
the members meet, and each pays one dollar,
at which time a number is drawn, which en-.
titles the owner of such number to select and
and receive his watch. similar 10 the old plan
OF watch clubs, with the exception that upon
the drawing Of a number further payment OF
that number cease. The remaining members
Qess one each week. continue their payments
and drawing for. thirty weeks, when all pay.

receive their watches.

A Robe That Cost $50, 900.

From the New YORK Star,
1.-The most remarkable experience have ever
had was years ago in Russia" said John Ruszits,
the millionaire furrier. 'Iwas then conducting
business in my native land One day was sur
prised by a summons to the palace at St. Peters
burg, where received an order to make a fur
lined robe for one of the daughters of the Car.
The work was to be done in the royal palace,
and the fur used was what we call royal sable,
the most eXpensivein the world. A single skin
is worth 800. 1t comes from Siberia. ] forget
now how many skins were used in lining the
wonderful garment, but their value was over
$4,000. Our work upon the robe was watched
very carefully by members of the royal family.
Every morning the Princess came in to see how
the work was progressing, and every evening
the Princess or lady in waiting came in and
counted the skins before we were allowed to
leave. 1t took week to finish the robe and
when it was done it was probably the most eX-
pensive one in all history.n

"BEN HUR" ENTERTAINMENTS.
Something About the Manner in Which
They Originated.

Many inquiries have been made concerning the
origin of the ben Hur'' entertainments recently
given in this city, and the following facts may
be of interest: In the spring of 1883 the Ladies'
Aid Society of the First Congregational Church
of this city proposed giving an entertainment.
One of their number suggested illustrating some
of the striking points in Mr.. Wallaces famous
book by tableauX and readings. To Mrs. Ellen
Knight Bradford was assigned the duty of select
ing the readings, and. with two other ladies, of
deciding upon scenes for tableauX. The great
possibilities of the book for such purpose
dawned upon Mrs. Bradford like an inspiration.
She entered upon her duty with enthusiasm and
she spent many weeks in making the historical
researches necessary to the faithful reproduce
tions of the scenes. The first presentation was
an entire success. a repetition was demanded,
and the entertainment was repeated in the Ma
tional Rifles Armory, with similar result. a
little later Mrs. Bradford received letter from
Springfield, Mass, asking if she could assist in
the production of the tableaux in that city. She
consented Other invitations of like character
followed, and she has given the ben Hur" tab
leaux in the principal cities from Maine to Texas.
The popularity of this unique entertainment has
been second only TO that of the work it illus
trateS.

SEAL RINGS ALWAYS IN DEMAND


New Designs in Rings for rGentlemen-Silver
More Popular in Summer.
"Seal rings" said Jeweler Gait, "are always in
demand. The styles of the cutting are about the
same now as they were fifty years ago. In the
more fanciful rings the old NEUROLOGICAL sub
jects are still the fayorites. The stone that is
used is generally onyx, which is sent to this
country in quantities from Asia, although a
great deal is brought up from Mexico But
the finest and easiest to cut comes from Persia
and the Island of Ceylon. The Persian topaz is
creeping into favor as seal, and many beauti-
full designs are secured from the lapidaries.
They, however, cost considerably more than the
onyx. Moss and wood agate are becoming popu-
lar, but they do not cut very well, and for that
reason few are to be found on sale. The manner
OF cutting them consists in drawing the proposed
pattern upon the stone with tine-pointed instru-
ment, then working it out with small wheel
and diamond dust process requiring great
deal of patience, skill, and artistic ability. A
good lapidary can cut three or four stones day.
The most popular of the fancy seals are those
having the complete figure engraved on them.
Taste does not run so much to the female heads
as formerly. The sunken work is generally
given where family crests or coats of arms or
monograms are required.
There are some new designs in mems rings
continued Mr.. Gait, bringing out tray. THE
most popular rings are those wrought in SER
pentine designs. This pattern. two entwining
| with a diamond in one head and sapphire in
| the other, leads the fashion. In fact, the most
popular rings are those combining the gold and
| platinum. AS many as four serpents are used
| each head set with different stone The rings
are not very costly, as the finest class of jewels
| are not used in them. They can be purchased
| for from twenty-five to fifty dollars The
| proper setting of diamond when worn in a ring
| by gentleman is to have the stone sunk deer
| into the gold, as the raised or claw-shaped set.
| ting is not secure enough for men. Most of the
| imported rings have the Jewels placed well into
| the bands
with the coming of spring the fashion in
| rings changes, and gold is abandoned for silver
| which is still a fad. The sales Of designs in
| silver are increasing every day. Another thing
is that silver rings cost very little money and
| come in as beautiful patterns as the finer metals
| Doublets are used mostly in silver rings. Doub
lets are pieces of cut glass with small piece Of
diamond or other gem cemented to it, having al
the brilancy of a genuine jewel, but which cos
very much less. Yes, there are dealers who
palm these artificial stones Off on unwary vic
| tins real. The garnet will be worn a gooC
deal this season. Some very fine ones are being
| imported. The favorite setting will be four OF
| five of them placed in row small bnnt
| ring"
