Gypsy Jewelry.

Like their more favored and better
civilized sisters, gypsy women are rep
resented by the best Authorities to be
passionetely fond OF jewelry, notwith-
standing the fact that their extreme
poverty renders it impossible for
many of them to crafty this taste.
Trinkets OF greater or less value, &C.
cording to circumstances, are worn by
them, being limited in number only by
the means of the wearer. II the
gitana is unable to have her ornaments
Of gold, silver jewelry will do, and il
silver trinkets are beyond her means
brass will suffice.
AS briliancy OF color is the first con-
Sideration in a gypsy's attire, size is
the chief merit of her jewels. Among
the Weather gypsies, If there be such
u thing as wealth connected with the
race, the Moorish, Egyptian and ORR
entail designs find most favor. The
poorer content themselves with strings
of coins or cheap medals, without re-
gard to the event or parsonage they
IRE intended to commemorate. and
even with rudely designed ornaments
of brass made by the male artisans OF
their tribes. Large earrings are pre-.

Excitement at Grand RapIds.

Tho Grand Rapids street car company
made great pretensions Thursday about
being afraid to run cars because the scabs
would be killed, and suspended operations
oil all the lines except one and this one was
lined with policemen, but they were not
needed. Everything was as quiet as II
there was no strike except crowds gather
cd here and there to watch tho cars run.
Tho company has presented to Mayor
Uhl q bill for damages amounting to sew
eral hundred dollars. Those who have
seen the bill say that II is for everything
under tho sun and property is listed Ms
destroyed that the company never used,
and II they did no one ever saw It.
The bill had its effect on the mayor and he
braced up, spent q lot OF good money for
hiring extra policemen and patrol wagons
and swearing in 100 extra policemen under
pay. The mayor also issued proclama-
ton calling on citizens to stay out Of the
streets, and citing the law which makes all
assemblages OF persons in q crowd col
lection of rioters. The strikers themselves
do not indorse the destruction of property
that occurred Tuesday night, and 1t Is

Fun on an Electric Car.

The electric street cars between this
place and Birmingham have always
been source OF pride and wonder as
well to the people OF the two towns.
Never country visitor comes to see
his relatives but he is taken for ride
on the 'lectric cars, and the workings
are explained to him. Some of the
cars "leak," and the metallic parts
are highly charged with electric fluid.
One car especially is noted for this.
The conductor and those who know
the secret have lots of fun seeing the
look of painful surprise that spreads
itself over the faces of those who are
shocked. Yesterday lady got on
the car as it started, and MS her feet
touched the iron doorsill she gave q
startled scream, and a look OF blank
amazement spread over her features,
as she remarked: Something is the
matter with my Limbs; l can't
move them" The conduct or gave her
little push into the car, and q sigh
of relief escaped her as she sank into
seat, and blushed like an Italian
sunset.
The next one to enter was a big
Irish washerwoman. She was fat and
jolly, and her size required an effort
on her part to squeeze through the
door. She planted both feet on the
iron plate and then screamed: "How-
ly Moses! Me legs is full OF pins!"
The conductor didn't laugh, He had
too big a job to push her off the sill.
There came gentleman, whose little
dog followed him. The dogs feet
struck the door sill, his tail dropped
down, the hair on his back rose up,
and with a pitiful howl he dropped
back, jumped off the car and has not
been seen since. -Ansonia Dispatch to

country Life In .he Argentine.

In a new country the traveller must
not be particular, much less exacting;
above all, he must not expect to find
refinement among the inhabitants,
whose whole efforts barely suffice to
sustain the combat against the ele-
ments. Still, / cannot refrain from
noting the impression CT sadness and
disgust produced by the sight Of the
towns and colonies OF the pampa, and
by glimpse OF the life that the inhab-
itants lead. Verify the majority live
worse than brutes, for they have not
even the clearly instincts OF the beasts
Of the field. Their houses are less
agreeable to the eye than an Eskimo's
hut. The way they maltreat their
animals Is sickening to behold.
Rarely do you see the face Of man,
woman or child that does not wear q
bestial and ferocious expression. In
the villages there are no clubs, no
libraries, no churches, no priests,
rarely even school. The men and
women work, eat and sleep, and their
only distraction is the grossest bestial-
ity, gambling and drinking In the pull
pcrfa, with occasionally a little knitting
and revolver-fring. During my whole
stay in the Argentine, and in all the
centres that visited. I was struck by
the utter absence Of moral restraint
and by the hard materially Of the
faces Of the people, from the highest
down TO the lowest. Harper's Maga-

MECHANISM OF THE HEART.
Sudden Death Like That OF Secretary

sudden Death Like Thnt OF secretary
window May 10 Prevented.
Now the American idea OF treating
the heart when 1t Is diseased from over
work, Is TO stop the bad food and give
good food. Nature will then remove
from the blood stream the physical
causes Of obstruction, and the heart
will come down in size and be restored,
simply because 1t has no more than it,
normal work TO do. This Is a principle
of surgery, to-wit, to remove foreign
body from the eye, and the eye gets
well OF itself; nature will always cure
II she has chance. This is repetition,
but there Is need OF it. !.
Few have any idea how far the blood
has to travel in the human body. II
the capillaries, which are one three
thousandth OF an inch in diameter. OF
the human body could be removed and
put into one straight line, 1t Is estimat-
cd that this line would reach round the
globe; call 1t 1000 miles, 1t is clear
that il will take force to project water
through such tube and that it would
take more force to project molasses.
Now, II the heart projects normal blood
through this tube 1t is also clear that
1t would have to work harder to pro-
ject abnormally thick blood, and so
doing would grow bigger. The nerves
OF the heart are automatic, and do they
work in their way rs the nerves OF the
head do theirsp They appear to know
when there is obstruction to the circu-
lation, and they make the heart beat
harder.
When I was medical student a
snake was brought to be killed. 1t
was in deep, empty glass jar, and q
stream Of carbonic acid gas was turned
on. In few minutes it was dead.
All the gas was not used, but was turned
on to the back of my hand; soon the
skin was livid lead color, was devoid
Of feeling, and paralyzed. Now this
gas largely formed in the stomach,
becomes absorbed through the heart
sac, and paralyzes the heart. Prob
ably this was so with Secretary Win
dom. He had eaten and then he spoke.
The force used in speaking was taken
from the work of digestion so that the
blood fermented, or he may have been
drinking carbonic acid water, and the
stomach was full OF carbonic acid gas.
Thence it exposed into the heart sac
and death followed / knew doctor
(who knew better) to die from eating
food which he knew would ferment,
simply because he preferred the taste
OF his viands to their pathological
effects. He is not alone; so long as
mankind lives to eat and does not eat
to live. just SO long will sudden deaths
from weak hearts occur.

A EW GAM E.
Bllndgirrs Bun Is In Our Midst as an
Evening Amusement.


Evening Amusement.
Blindman's buff under the new name
of blindgirl's buff is in our midst. says
the New York World. This is the
way it is done. The pretty buffer is
blindfolded by means of a long black
mask which effectually keeps her from
gazing underneath. She Is then seat
ed in the middle OF the room, while
the company, joining hands. slowly
walk around her. High above her
head the buffer fourishes weapon
not unlike the shield which the darkies
down south use for protection against
flies and mosquitoes.
AS the mystic circle silently passes
around the blindfolded enchantress,
the latter brings down her wand light
ly upon the head OF any one whom its
aim may concern. He quickly catches
it, kisses the hand OF the Queen of
the Mask and takes his place upon the
throne where he in turn sways the
sceptre. Should young woman be
touched with the wand she embraces
her ex-queen and tries her own hand
with the wand.
The game is made interesting by the
announcement that should the queen
fail in three strokes to touch one Of
her subjects she is presented, later on,
with the Court TESTERS paper cap and
bells, and should any subject be so for
tunate as to be three times chosen she
is given jubilee and is awarded a

Dynamite In Danger.

was wiped out by q forest fire last week.
The inhabitants Of that place and Dollar
Bay were frightened out of years growth
as there was known to be 25, 900 pounds Of
dynamite stored in the works. The men
fought like demons to keep the storehouse
wet and succeeded in saving 1t. but so mar
row was the escape that people moved to
Hancock to avoid the results. Had the lot

Tho Hero,.m of a child.

self-sacrifice on the part OF u child.
The lower door OF st. Leonard's

open, and two young boys, wandering
in, were tempted to mount the upper
part, and scramble from beam to
beam.
All at once joist gave way. The
beam on which they were standing
became displaced. The elder had
just time to grasp 1t when falling,
while the younger slipping over his
body, caught hold OF his comrade's
legs. In this fearful position the poor
lads hung. crying vainly for help, for
no one was near.
At length the boy clinging to the
beam became exhausted. He could
no longer support the double weight.
He called out to the lad below that
they were 10th done for.

to loose YOUR replied the younger
lad.

lder.

hold.

TO pieces on the stone floor below.

Early Memoris. of Home.

Early impressions are easier made,
and they abide longer, than those Of
maturer years. No matter how I'M
eventual mans life was in his child
hood. or how intense have been the
experiences Of his active manhood,
when the powers of his flesh are fall
ing, and the strength OF his mental
faculties are brought to their final
test, it is found that his freshest men,
cries are ever OF his childhood days,
and not OF the years of his vigorous
manhood. A short time ago the king
OF the Sandwich Islands lay dying, in
a gorgeously furnished bed-chamber,
in the Palace Hotel, San Francisco.
Members OF his royal household were
about him. All that could make an
impression for the hour tended to
bring thoughts OF his kingly life, and
OF the visits he had made TO courts
and palaces. or his yet
unfinished journey around the
world. But as his dying lips moved
in faint murmurs OF speech. and at
tentive ears were bent to catch his
latest message, he was found to be
speaking in the accents OF his child
hoods language, now long unused by
him; and his thoughts and words
were OF scenes on the shore OF his
island home in the days Of his playful
boyhood.
So. always. the early impressions
, OF home scenes are the abiding ones.
and they will come out In their pre-
eminence in the later years OF life.
however they may seem to have been
forgotten in the Intervening time. Is

Duties or Parents.

United action on the part of parents

ing 1t in their power to accomplish a
great purpose, were unable to rise
above their personal disagreements

the situation. The enthusiasm OF
philanthropists is often nulliied by
individual differences just at the time
