Cheap jewelry is widely worn. Brook
lyn contains dozen or more stores in
which a large trade is done in a.
classes of plated ware-from the fif =
cent diamond pin to the elegantly-en-
graved triple-plated bracelet. Some
years ago bogus jewelry was affected
only by the lower classes of colored
people, but now nine-tenrhs of the jew
elry worn is not solid. A vast differ
ence exists between plated and 'snide'
iewelry. ''Snide" jewelry is some
times called electro-plated ware, and is
what is generally supposed to have been
dipped in gold. The dipping process is
no longer in use.
Rhinestones, backed with tinfoil, are
much worn by young girls in their hair
and by members of the theatrical pro-
fession. Rhinestones are made of glass
and contain a small percentage of red
lead. Formerly the manufacture of
rhinestones was exclusively a French
industry, but of late years many have
been made in Brooklyn. A good quail
ity of rhinestone, nicely mounted in a
stud, sells for 35 cents. Bracelets of
rolled gold, warranted to wear ten
years, bring 81 to So each. Watch
chains are worth from so cents to 81.
A large trade is done in gold-plated
nickel and silver ore watches. 1t is
said that silver ore will wear longer
and not scratch so easily as watch-cases
made of coin silver They are one-ffth
cheaper. A watch with silver-ore
case can be bought for 81.
1t is amusing to see the manner in
which many respectable people buy
cheap iewelry. They make the clerk
understand that the jewelry is not for
them, but for servants and children

should be rejected.
The mission of the satirist is to tell
others how to do things he can't do
himself.-Van Dorn's Magazine.
-Undeserved praise is of double inn
port; We feel it is unmerited, and we
feel also that it might have been.
"A mans will, properly attested, is

Horn.
"A single grain of common sense

What we call curiosity and inquisi-
tiveness in other people, seems in our
selves only a laudable thirst for useful
information.
Charity begins at home. but it ends
in the poorhouse-which is a jolly good
reason for not putting up too much on
it,-Puck.

Our deeds determine us as much as

George Eliot.
-Endeavor to be always patient of

Thomas a KemDis.
Failures and mistakes often spring
from encouragement. Does not every
human being need a believing second
self whose support and appreciation
shall reinforce his failing courage? To
sensitive and excitabie people, who ex-

many low tides of depressed hours. In
such cases we need another self to re
store an equilibrium. Stowe.
Industry is commended to us by all

THE CONSULTATIONS.


How the Position of the Sun and the
Planets Is Define 4.
The ancient astronomers gave the
name of Zodiac to an imaginary belt
extending around the heavens, having
for its middle line the ecliptic, which is
the line of the earth's orbit, or the APP
parent path of the sun through the
heavens. The ecliptic forms the CEN
ter OF this belt, which is about eighteen
degrees in width, which in ancient times
included the orbits of all the known
planets-but five in number-as well as
the sun. The 1s-degree belt Of the old
time astronomer will not now contain
the orbits of all the recently discovered
planets and asteroids, which are
now technically known as ultra-zodiacal
planets. The stars in the zodi-
acal belt were grouped into twelve con.
stellations, to each of which was as
signed one-twelfth of the circumference
of the circle, or thirty degrees. This
arrangement made it possible to readily
define at any time the position of the
sun and the planets. The consultations
that gave rise to the zodiacal divisions
were as follows: Aries, the ram; Tau
rus, the bull; Gemini, the twins; Can
Ger, the rab; Leo, the lion; Virgo, the
virgin; Libra, the balance; Scorpio, the
scorpion; Sagittarius, the archer; Capri
cornus, the goat; Aquarius, the water
bearer, and Pisces, the fishes. As
one half of the ecliptic is north and
the other half south of the celestial
equator, that is, the line where the
plane of the earth's equator if extended
would divide the heavens, the points of
intersection of their planes are known
as the equinoctial points. The old
time star-gazers regarded these points
as fixed and immovable, and therefore,
the one at which the sun crosses the
equinoctial line from south to north
was fixed upon as the first point in the
first division of the Zodiac, the sign
Aries After the sun had travelled 30 de-
grees eastward in this division he
entered the second sign, Taurus, ane
thus continued his course through
all the signs, crossing the line
from north to south. when he passed
from the sign Virgo into that
of Libra. The equinoctial points are
not stationary, but move slowly in the
heavens. thus the first division of the
Zodiac has been almost entirely sepa-
rated from the constellation of Aries,
and now corresponds more exactly with
that of Pisces. Anciently the signs of
the Zodiac were supposed to have an
abnormal effect upon all animal and
vegetable life, but this is now looked
upon as rankest superstition. The con-
stellations of the Zodiac were arranged
by the astronomer Hipparchus in the
year 200 \. d., or thereab bouts
