a New Idea in Jeweiry.

A new IDEA in jewelry is the imita-
ton of grapes both green and purple,
in sardonyx sub ected to different de-
grees of heat until they take on the
different hues of the green and ripe
fruit These grapes are prettily
mounted as sleeve links, with heavy
gold chain connecting the fruit, or SET
in diamond hoop or with diamond
tendrilsy for brooches. Long sleeves
give little opportunity for displaying
bracelets and they are little worn Just
now. The latest articles in common.

orifamme in her hand, the whole sci

A physician who has made study of
the use and abuses of pepsin has arrived
at the following conclusions, which coin
eide with our own; that in the course of
convalesence of certain acute diseases
where digestion is weak, pepsin may be of
temporary use in improving the assimila-
ton of food, that it may be occasionally
resorted to in cases of acute Indigestion
from indiscreet over-eating. but that when
used for the cure of chron'c Indigestion
and dyspepsia it is snare and a deusion,
giving a transient feeling of comfort
without, however, increasing tho di-
Restive power Of the stomach.-Dr. Foots' :

A BURIED GEM.
An Opinion by an Ex-Governor OF Yeas

An Opinion by an Ex-Governor OF Je1as
on Gray's "EleGy."
A Texas member OF the House tells
the following story on ex-Gov. ireland,
says the Washington correspondent Of
the New Yo k Tribune:
1t seems the former Governor of the
Lone Star State knew more of bravery
than OF books, and was better up in
politics than in poetry. According to
the Texan. Gov. ireland sat one night
alone in his Office. Being in a some
what pensive mood. he picked up a
school reader, glazed over it careless
ly and finally stopped breathless, his
eye caught by some chance words.
His secretary entered as he finished
the reading, and the Governor looking
up at him he exclaimed:
oh it, Jones, why do they
stick such fine thing as this away in
a child's readerP It's ar outrage, a
shame that people suffer such gem
to be buried just because some poor
devil wrote it who was not Long
fellow or Il Shakespeare. By--rll
write to-night to some of those Eastern
magazines and inclose it. Talk about
genius, why, it fairly blisters out in
that poem and yet people are such
brutes they can't see it."
whats the name of itp" asked the
Secretary.
Il don't remember, but ! mean to
write half of it down and quote from
it III my next speech. Here it is.
It's called Grey's Elegv in Country
Church, ard The very name is a
poem; but listen to one of the verses
here. Could anything be truer Of its
own fateP" and the Governor squared
off and read in his best voice:
Full many "A gem of purest ray serene
The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear;
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen
And waste its sweetness on the desert air
"My--, man, that's prophecy"

GRENADA'S IMPENDING FATE.

The Volcano that Threatens the Extinc-
ton of the Nicaraguan City.
The recent earthquakes in Grenada
Nicaragua, that have caused four
fifths of the inhabitants TO desert the
city are thought to presage a revival
OF the volcano OF Mombacho. The
mountain is about 3, 600 feet high and
Granada is located at its base, part
OF the Town being built on the lower
portion of the slope and less than fif-
teen miles from the crater. There
are evidences of terrible eruption in
the past when the greater quantity Of
the lava coursed down the volcanoes
slope to the center of Lake Nicaragua,
from the shores of which the peak
rises. There are numberless little
islands short way from shore,
formed by the flow Of the lava Should
there be an eruption Granada would
be doomed, even should the lava take
d direction away from it as the fall Of
ashes would be sufficient to make the
town uninhabitable. At present there
is no active volcano in Nicaragua and
but one in Central America, namely,
the Salvador. Three years ago
Ometepe. near the cenIer- of -L.alza
Nicaragua, ended an active state, and
the last of the eruptions of Mornotom-
b. on the border of Lake Managna
and near the capital, was seen less
than two years ago in the form OF a
thin column of smoke rising from Its
crater. Since then there has been in
this country no volcanic eruption and
no prominent earthquake

hats. Some men always insist on
buying Derby hats with enameled
sweat bands, and if they wear them
during the summer months mild
sort OF blood poisoning is apt to re-
suit AS a mans head always per-
spires very freely under the sweat
band of his hat the poison in the en-.
ameling composition is softened and
released. But its unpleasant effects
are seldom noticeable there. The very
fact that the perspiration is constantly
coming out of those particular pores
prevents the poison from going in.
But as each little bead OF porspira-
tion rolls down his face il is charged
with the poison, and If it happens to
run over little pimple or place
where he has scratched his face or
cut it with razor the result will
probably be unpleasant A dozen

doses himself with, his face will be
dotted with little sores until he buys

hats are seldom made up with enam-
eled sweat bands, and that fact is
another reason why every man should
wear them in the summer. OF course
this warning does not apply to all
hats with enameled sweat bands.
Some of them are perfectly harmless.
