ODD AND NEW THINGS.
Curious Devices for the Mantel, the Desl
and the What-Not.

Curious Devices for the Mantel, the Desk
and the What-Not.
Here are some novelties in bric-a-brac
from the JcueIers Weekly:
One of the most remarkable importa-
tions in onyx clocks represents the marble
arch which stands at an entrance to Hyde
Park, in London, Eng.
Somewhat decelving IS paper-welght
Stimulating three pens lying on block of
polished walnut.
A pretty and odd pa oer-holder for the
desk is two pairs of shears held short
distance apart by rod Of steel.
Imposing and attractive is an umbrella
receptacle representing an old brass cannon
held upright by three massive shot.
Golden flowers and variegated moths
standing in relief from the body of ham,
mered light bronze lamp produce a beau
tiful effect.
Concealed under the shade of a minia-
ture bronze students lamp is table bell,
while the small part of ,he globe which
appears above the shade can be used as a
receptacle for candle.
An odd conception for table bell is one
which represents silver wire House-trap,
the interior of which contains the bell.
4 gilt cat which surmounts the ornament
acts as the lever by which the bell is
struck.
A muscular figure of splendidly -devel-
oped proportions, represented as endeavor-
ing to break bundle of sticks across his
knee, is a bronze statuette perfect in every
detail. The figure illustrates one of E1sop's
fables.
Several small hand-painted plaques in
serted around the bowl of dark, heavy
bronze lamp, is the most recent novelty of
this class of bric-a-brac. Encircling each
plaque are draperies admirably repre-
sented in bronze.
An imposing group in Carrara marble
that is at present attracting much atten-
ton in art circles represents two cupids In
picturesque jdxtaposition in birds nest
of twigs and leaves. The faces are of ex-
treme beauty and clearness.
An exceptionally artistic piece Of work
manship in bronze is a toothpick holder,
which, even to the experienced, appears to
be an earthenware crucible. The exterior
of the ornament is Drowned and blackened
TO represent its contact with the furnace.
Inserted between the first and second
balconies of a two-foot-high bronze Eiiel
Tower a cathedral clock with ancient face
makes a pretty corner ornament for a
darkly furnished room. The top Of the
tower contains a small six candle-power
electric lamp, the battery for supplying
which is concealed in the base of the
tower

LOVE AND LUCRE.

Love and Lucre met one day,
In chill November weather;
And So, to while the time away,
They held discourse together.
Love at first was rather shy,
AS thinking there was danger
In ven.uring SO very nigh
The naughty looking stranger.
But Lucre managed to employ
Behavior so potential
That, in trice, the bashful boy
Grew bold and confidential.
81 hear" quoth Lucre, bowing low,
With all your arts and hon-y,
You sometimes suffer-is it so p
For lack of ready money"
Love owned that he was poor in aught
Except in golden fancies.
And ne'er as yet had given thought
To mending his finances.
Besides, I've hea1d"-so Love went on,
The others hint improving
That gold, however sought or won,
Is not friend TO loving"
"An arran. lie las you shall see
Full long ago invented
By knaves who know not you nor me,
To tickle the demented."
And Lucre waved his hand, and 10
By magical expansion,
Love saw his little hovel grow
Into stately mansion.
And where before he used to sup
INTENDED in his cottage,
And grumbled DER the earthen cup
That held his meager pottage-
Now, smoking visnds crown his board,
And many a flowing chal ce;
His larder was with plenty stored,
And beauty filed the palace.
And Love, though rather lean at first,
And tinged with melan choly,
On generous wines and puddings nursed,
Grew very stout and jolly.
Yet. mindfHl OF his early friend,
He never turns detractor,
But prays that b essings may attend
His worthy benefactor.
And when his friends are gay above
Their evening whist or euchre,
And drink brimming health to Love-
He drinks Success to Lucre !"

DRY PRESERVING FRUIT.

The following method of drying fruit
has been handed to US by gentleman, an
amateur in the business, with the sugges-
ton that some of our larger operators
might try it another season:
For choice dried peaches he selects the
largest and best clingstones he can find.
These are peeled, split, pitted and then
put into a white sugar syrup, such as Is
used for canning. The syrup is allowed to
come to a boil, when the fruit is immedi-
diately taken cut and placed ON wooden
travs in the sun, where it is dried four
days. Tin trays, kept bright and clean,
would be better. The aim is to get the
largest amount of dried fruit from the
smallest amount OF green. By this process
three pounds of green fruit viii make one
of dried The sugar costs from 3 to 5
cents for each pound of product: but the
result is something very ike erystallized
fruit. By many it has been pronounced as
choice as the crystallized fruit for which
they pay 30 cents per pound. Our in
formant says it can be made a good paying
business at % cents a pound. Pears and
aprieots are treated the same as peaches.
But his choice prunes and Pacific figs were
simply brought to a boil in clear water
without any sugar, before the drying pro-
cess. They contain sufficient syrup; and
the dip into the boiling water brings it to
surface, so that the prunes are clear and
silky, and the figs are made perfectly
transparent. The examples shown US are
the handsomest dried fruit We have seen.
Everything is done by the foregoing

Belgian farmers have become alarmed
at the way in which the frogs are being

THE BARRAtho,
Whose lofty blank walls line one side OF
pretty plaza. Among other curiosities
we were shown some old bronze carron-
ades, one of which is highly priced for its
history, an inscription on the breech
/ showing that the Spaniards captured it
| from the French at the battle Of Paira.
! The artillery of the Colombian Guard are
/ furnished with Armstrong mountain guns
and a few Gatlings. Among the latter is
one whose vicissitudes deserve especial
mentien.
| During the last general revolution the
/ Conservative party (which included the
| church element and was opposed to the So
called Liberal Government received in
formation that Gatling gun, which
! should have been delivered to the Govern
ment long before the revolution began, had
| at last landed at Baranquilla and was
about to be shipped up the river to Honda.
| Now the insurgents were woefully short Of
munitions of warfare, and had almost
nothing for use in the interior; therefore
| they determined to possess themselves of
/ that blessed gun. But how 10 do it was
/ the questions specially since it must
come through Honda, which at that time
was the main stronghold of the Govern
ment forces.
They hit upon plan which never could
have been carried out except in country
like this, where mems minds are densely
clouded with religious superstition. The
revolutionists sent secret dispatches to
their sympathizers on the coast; and these
having received the gun from the ocean
steamer, transferred it by night from its
original case TO another big box, which

BUTTONS THAT WILL STICK.

"When get a bright idea l always

she sat watching young girl sewing;
"do your buttons ever come off, LenaP
.sEvera They're always doing it.
They are ironed off, washed off and
pulled off until dispair. seem to
shed buttons at every STEP"

you are sewing them on, then, and see
if they make any difference. When
you begin, before you lay the button
on the cloth put the thread through SO
that the knot will be on the right side.
that leaves it under the button and
prevents it from being ironed or worn
away, and thus beginning the loosen
ing process.
"Then, before you begin sewing, lay
a large pin across the button SO that all
your threads will GO over the pin. At
ter you have finished filling the holes
with thread draw out the pin and wind
your thread round and round beneath
the button. That makes compact
stem to sustain the possible pulling and
wear of the buttonhole. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that my buttons never
come off, and I'm sure yours won't, i

MILLINERY ODDITIES.

Just now there is rage for millinery
oddities, the quaintest Of which is the
butterfly bonnet, Parisian novelty
originally designed for some stage
beauty. In the model the entire crown
was formed of an exact reproduction OF
the body and wings of a butterfly in
ruby velvet, the body being lined with
jet of variegated tints. Along the brim
falling on the hair was dainty border
ing of ruby featherings, surmounted by
a twisted dladem of velvet. These
butterfly bonnets are now brought out
in black, white and colored net or
tulle, the gauzy wings being sprinkled
with gold and crystal that glitters and
shines in beauty under the gaslight.
Another fancy is piece of wild game
mounted on wired rosette of lace, and
secured to the head by means of ribbon
strings. These gulls, prairie chickens
and wild ducks come from abroad, cost
as much as small poultry yard, aud
are considered very smart with tailor
made suit. Leather bonnets are among
the luxuries INDUCED in by women of
means. These novelties are as hard in
effect as the tarpaulin hat, but equally
as serviceable, the dampness OF the sea
or the mists on land making no impress
sion on them. As now ordained the
votaries of fashion have the privilege,
if the money, of selecting ooze leather
for shoes. gloves, bonnet, card case and
pocketbook. ~ Y. World.

QUEER SCENES IN A COURT.

The Skowhe gan correspondent of the
Fairfield CMe.) Joa0 nal gives the fol-
lowing description of the homelike ap-
pearance of the Maine Supreme Court
room during recent term of court:
Ladies' in the gallery bring their nee-
dlework and sit out the long hours of
the session. 1t is interesting to watch
them threading needles, tying knots,
basting, occasionally pausing to catch
some portion of the evidence and again
to confidc in neighbor something rela-
tive to some newcomer, interspersed
with the slight click of the scissors, all
of which tend to impress the lockers on
with the solemnity of the occasion, and
add perceptibly to the 'homelike' ap-
pearance of our judicial residence"

Hypnotism in England, if the quota

to startling per lection as an exact and
practical science. A certain DIR. Bran

merely by presence and contact, but by
letter or telegraph. A patient received
q note with the following dire ctions:
"Go to sleep by order of DR.. Bran

Wedding Rings.

The latest thing in wedding rings
comes from England. and is narrow
but thick circlet of 22- carat fine gold.
This has come in fashion in America in
the course of the last year, replacing
the old style ring, which is both heavy
and wide, being sometimes half an inch
broad. These latter have been in use
as far back as | can remember. The
Germans always buy two plain god
rings, the lady giving one to her be-
trothed and he one to her. The cal
lance" ring is sometime called for, and
often manufactured to order. 1t is
made of two circlets fitting into each
other and coming apart something like
a puzzle, and is revival of very old
style. The ordinary wedding ring
costs from 81. so to $15, although the
English ring is somewhat more expen-
sive. In engagement rings lndivid ual
taste is the only law, but set stones are
great favoritcs. A novelty is ring of
three circlets, almost as narrow as
wire, each set with band of different
stones, such as pearls, turquoises and
conch- shells. st. Louis GLIB, Dsmocrat.

noon, walking or driving.
If you want to seem tall and COM
manding, carry white parasol and
wear white hat or white aigrette.
Many of the spring wraps have van
dyked yokes richly wrought in silk en-
broidery, to which cape shaped man
ties are applied.
A fan made of human hair is dis
