SOME THING ABOUT NOON
STONES.

The word "precious" cannot Justly be
applied to moonstones, because their
value is relatively small and is greatly
Influenced by the DEGREES of fashion. For
several years there has been but a small
demand for moonstones, but about twelve
months ago they were restored to popu-
lar favor and will probably continue to
be popular for some time.
The stones come from India, are easily
procured and there is but little waste in
cutting them. They are almost invara-
bly, of blush white tint, the rays of the
most perfect much resembling moon
light, which gives them their name
Those of a less clear or yellowish hue are
of but little value. When carved the
transparency of the stone is of course
married, but many of them are so embel-
lishcd, the man in the moon being fav-
orite deyice, and baby's face surround
ed with Il cap of pearls or diamonds
another.
The moonstone is seldom worn alone
by fashionable people, having usually an
accompanying setting of diamonds or
other precious stones.
In response to question a dealer re-
Gently said
"Ihe largest moonstone | have ever
seen was one of oblong shape set to re-
present "A butterfly with partially closed
wings of brilliantly colored stones, and
was intended to be worn as pendant.
These stones are valued by appearance
and size, a perfectly round stone being
more desirable than fiat one"
As the moonstone is additionally lucky
it is suitable for souvenirs, parting and
anniversary gifts, and from present in
dications will be much used for wedding
presents during the season. Jewellers

John NJ. Clark as collector of customs and
Christopher Manner as collector of internal
revenue. OF course, these are valuable and
important offices in such city as Chicago,
but the point of interest to people elsewhere
is that the president appointed men not ia
vored by either of the Illinois sens.ors, and
in one case not even favored by the repre-
sentative of the district in which the APP
pointee resides. In short, the president takes
the ground that these are presidential offices
in every sense, his action indicating a new de-

all an old controversy.

Statistics as TO HunchbacSs.

Ten years ago remarkable charac-
ter died in Paris. He was known all
over France aud the greater part of all
Europe as The Learned Hunchbac4. f"
He was very wealthy. and spent mint
of money in the last fifty years of his
life, travelling in all directions making
researches concerning his hunchbacked
brethren. 1t was in the milder por-
tons Of Europe that he found the mis-
fortune the most prevalent. Spain
supplied the greater number, and in
circumscribed locality at the foot OF
the Sierra Morena he found that there
was one humpbacked person to every
thirteen inhabitants. Ihev were also
found to he quite numerous in the val
ley of the Loire in France The little
humpbacked statistician came to the
conclusion that there was one hump
back in each one thousand inhabitants,
or an aggregate of one million against
the estimated thousaDd millions of the
entire earth.
After the death of this eccentric
ihdividHal his heirs found in place of a
will voluminous manuscript of two
thousand pages. all concerning humps.
The last page, although it said nothing
about the disposition of property, ex-
pressed the authors desire to have a

with this inscription:

ton cuffs, closed with two buttons.
The lapels have soft finish, SO as to
roll free when the coat is open. Com
monty, however, it is kept buttoned.
The trousers are of medium width, and
have the fair.test suspicion of spring at
the bottom.
There are several distinct varieties
of business suits, but the one intended
to interest swell dressers who desire a
relief from the straight, doublebreast-
ed sack is the three-button cutaway
sack. 1t is picturesque and graceful.
and, if properly made, will adjust itself
beautifully to the curves of the human
form. For the most part the fabric is
of diagonal cheviot, but plaids and soft
check patterns are equally appropriate.
If fancy vest is worn, the one most
fitting is of Marseilles linen, although
freedom of choice may be exercised on
this point. The length of this coat is a
trihe longer than obtains generally in
the sack design. The roll of the collar
should not be less thanfive inches, with
full lapels and general appearance of
freedom and ease. As to the bottom
corners of the coat, or what would be
the corners IL not cut away, they should
recede from an inch below the lower
button. All the pockets should have
flaps, with the discretion of having the
upper pocket made with a welt. Ivory
buttons are considered the very proper
form, and the edges should be double
