English Thrift shown in the Care of Laoes.

English Thrift shown in the Care of Laees.
The fancy that obtains among fash
ionable Englishwomen for the making
and mending of fine laces has not only
thrift to commend it, but is also an evil
denee of their having had aristocratic
grandmammas. The sewing on lace is
an essentially feminine as well as an
essentially c~Oquettish work, for il
brings u beautiful taper fingers to
the best advantage, and yet it can be
dropped at any minute to listen to a
sweet nothing and be as quickly picked
up again TO assist in hiding a blush.
How many people know that in the
day when rich laces formed the chief
decoration of a costume even queens
were careful of them2
An old picture of Henrietta Maria by
Gland lie Fevre shows just how highly
this queen appreciated the worth of the
handmade lace that formed her cuffs.
Over each was drawn a cuff Of very.
very thin muslin. through which the
lace could be seen. although it was per
fectly preserved from dust and grease.
The unhappy queen lives on the can
vas an example of thrift that some
Englishwomen today might well imi-

ARTIFICIAL RUBIES.

Tho Precious Stones Being Manufactured
by Chemists.
What is the use of exploring unknown
and dangerous countries for rubies when
the secret of their artificial pro-
duction has been discovered? This was
the question which the Academy Of
Sciences discussed on the report Of
NM. Frenzy and Verneuil, who, for
some time past, have been making
chemical experiments in the manu-
facture of these stones. More valua-
BILE than mere theory, says the Pail
Mall Gazette, was the fact that the two
chemists exhibited some hundreds Of
specimens Of the glittering red crystals
they had succeeded in producing. The
rubies were admitted by all to be
much superior to any thing hitherto
manufactured. No little danger, how
ever, attends the process. The chemi-
Gals have to be fused at heat so in
tense that NJ. Verneuil, during the
course of the experiments, nearly lost
his sight While manufacturing rubies
the two chemists found that, at GER
tain stage of the operations, crystals of
the color of sapphires were produced,
but the hue hitherto obtained has not
qeen equal to the tint of the real gem.

Scenes of Rare Grandeur Produced by q
Burning Mountain.
Late travellers from the volcano give
most wonderful accounts of the recent
activities at the crater, writes Homo
lulu correspondent Of the Boston Tran
script. For some time past Kilauea had
been in a quiet state, with an occasional
outburst; but recently scenes Of rare
grandeur and wonderful sublimity seem
to be calling renewed attention to this
wonder Of the world. It is reported
that the issue Of fire at such times
causes holding of the breath at the
display Of the imnensity of Natures
forces. The red, surging waves, wild
in their fiery antics, seem as though
about to roll beyond the lava walls that
confine them, and fire ware after fire
wave surge their awfully majestic bill
lows against the cliffs. The changes
are constant and grand beyond the
power Of description. These seething
waves are waves indeed, but waves Of
fire, red-hot, unadulterated, volcanic
fire, beyond the power of artists and
pen of writer to portray. The last re-
ports state that the great fire Of the pit
is at times divided into several distinct
partitions of the fiery surface, and pre-
sents spectacle seldom witnessed even
in this most marvellous place.

TiDOLEDY WlNkS.
A Description OF tho New Game and He

A Description OF tho New Game and How
It IL Played.
The game of tiddledy winks is the
latest fad, says the Detroit Free Press.
Tiddledy winks parties are all the go.
The game is innocent, If the players dc
not bet, and subjects the mental sys-
tenn to no heavy strain. 1t consists of
small paper box, divided into COM
partments in which can be found q
wood tub or glass jar called wink pot,
a number of bone or celluloid chips q
little larger in circumference than
quarter of a dollar, called tiddledies,
and large number of smaller chips
about the size of dime, called winks.
Each hand, consisting of one tiddledy
and six winlxs, is of a color, and, while
there are generally four hands in box.
there may be as many as colors can be
had. Each of the parties playing at a
table, over which there should be soft
cover, takes one tiddledy and six winks,
and, placing them ten to twelve inches
from the wink pot, located in the CEN
ter, endeavors in turn to flip the winks
into the wink pot. The Tipping process
is accomplished by placing the tiddledy
AAAiy uPoh Vic Wlih duo Iueu ny uTdW-
ing or sliding it off the edge of the wink
is tipped and bounced toward the wink
pot, if aimed in that direction. The
one who tips his six winks into the
wink pot first wins the game. Some
very nice points are involved, which ex-
perience will teach how to discriminate
between. When one persons wink fips
upon that of another and remains there
the lower wink can not be removed
until relieved by the owner Of the
upper wink, which is an annoying dis
advantage to the proprietor of the
under wink. 1t requires not little
skill to give the wink the proper flip;
and the sport derived from the awk-
wardness Of the inexperienced and the
obstinancy of the chips is hilarious.

MENDiNG THE BRAIN.
An Experiment. Of . Rare and Singular
Nofu

An Experiment. of . Rare and Singular
Nature.
DR.. w. G. Thompson, professor Of
physiology of the University Medical
College, recently accomplished the re-
markable surgical feat of transferring
the brains Of dog and cat while both
were alive. The object of the expert
ment, says the Chicago Tribune, was to
show that brain tissue may be grated
without interfering with the normal
functions of the body. The laboratory
Of the college was the scene of the
vivisection. After first bathing the an
imals in a weak solution of bi-chloride
Of mercury, they were etherized, and
sufficient of the skulls was sawed of,
through which the larger portions OF
the brains Of each were taken. Tabby's
brains became Fido's property and vice
versa. The openings were closed and
dressed with antiseptic bandages.
The room was kept at exact blood
heat during the operation, in order to
guard against cold. The patients
were then placed in safe quarters and
carefully watched, until they were
deemed sufficiently recovered to be ex-
hibited to class Of one hundred and
fifty students. The cat seemed to be
all right and the dog moved about with
almost as much freedom as when he
had his own brains, though he seemed
perhaps little stupid. At the time OF
the operation and Just after the brains
had been taken out the animals lost
feeling in the paws, but the union Of
the old and the new brains had SO far
developed that the sensation had re-
turned to both animals.
In speaking to his class Of the expert
ment, DR.. Thompson said that sue
cessful operation of this kind meant
nothing more nor less that the possibil-
ity Of repairing a mans brains with
portions of those from the lower ami

A Beautiful EmIgrant From ireland Gre.
ates Sensation 1t the Barge once.
Miss Emily Maud Higgins, from Ire
land, bound to No. 424 East Thirty
Fifth street, New York, landed at the
Barge Office Friday from the steamer
Britannia, and in ten minutes made
reputation as one of the most
beautiful women that ever passed
through that office. Miss Maud is twenty
one years old, and was born amid the
green hills and blue lakes Of Killarney.
The tints Of Killarney's lakes are in her
eyes, and the bright colors of the emer-
aid shine in her hair, for Miss Maud
has what may be actually and proper
ly called green hair, the possession
Of which is supposed to insure the
owner health, beauty and wealth.
When Miss Higgins hair is called
green, it must be understood that It is
not bright, vivid green, but sheeny,
emerald tint, such as the sea takes on
under the shadow of overhanging cliffs
where the color comes up from the
depths. AS the arrival Of the green
haired girl became noised around, quite
crowd gathered to see her pass through
the registry department. In height
the young woman stands five
feet, five or six inches, and
she has q magnificent figure. Her
features are exquisite in color and reg
ular in shape, and her voice is cxceed-
ingly low and sweet, and she talks in
the soft but refined brogue Of a we'll.
bred Irish girl. As she passed along
the hum of admiration was emphasized,
and one OF the Irish immigrant women
held up her little baby that the child
might touch the green hair and be sue
