Old Fashioned watch Chains.

Among the presents showered on
blushing brides this season figures the
old fashioned watch chain, more than a
yard long. After many years of sus-
pending watches from chatelaines, from
short chains hanging from u brooch and
from ribbons secured by monograms;
after wearing them in breast pockets or
tucked into the bosoms of dresses with
short chain pendants, after carrying
them in leathern straps or slipped into
the clasp of bag or using them as dec
orations for the handles of parasols and
umbrellas, card cases and portemon-
naies, as clasps for bracelets or concealed
beneath miniature i'll brooch or be-
hind the heart of floral pin-fashion
has gone back to the ancient style of
chain thrown around the neck that our
mothers and grandmothers affected
The new chains are very fine and gen.
orally are divided at intervals of three
or four inches by pearls, turquoises or
garnets, strung like beads, or by small
diamonds, rubies, sapphires or moon
stones, set clear.
AS for the watch it is hidden in the
folds of the dress or carried in a side
pocket. 1t is small in size, and the back
should be encircled CT entirely incrusted
with gems similar to those ON the chain.
One very handsome watch and chain
that l saw the other day among the
dainty trifes of a bridal corbeille was
ornamented with both rubies and dia-
monds. The stones were set alternately
between short lengths of the chain and
formed spiral on the back of the
watch.-Paris Cor jewelers. Weekly.

clans pronounced me au incnrable con-

The phrase "beaten to Il mummy has
been familiar to me from my youth up,
and | have always understood it us
equivalent to beaten to II jelly Does it
not refer to the medicinal substance
formerly known as mummy, which kept
its place in our dispensatories until pretty
late in the last century? 1t was vari-
ously composed and not always of the
same consistence, but its general appear
ance would probably resemble that of
soft pitch.
| speak now of the spurious kinds,
which were doubtless most common.
Even the genuine sorts were not, how
ever, necessarily Egyptian. Penicher
in his "Traite DIES Embaumemens' par
is, 1850, gives directions for the compo-
sition of mummy from human flesh ex-
pressly for medicinal purposes. He rec
ommends certain parts only of the body
to be used, and these to be dried, macer-
ated and spiced out of all likeness to
their natural condition. Mummy so
prepared entered into great variety of
"balms' and other indictments. for
which Penicher in his concluding chap
ter gives recipes from old writer's.
Some of these have the consistence of
oil, others that of an ointment. 1t is
clear, from the references in Mares, that
in our own country mummy and its
preparations were we'll known. and from
the make mummy of my flesh" which
Mares quotes from an old play, to
"beaten to mummy" is a natural and
an easy step.-Notes and Queries.

Bethlehem.

An air of cheerfulness and brightness is
about the place. The gay and brilliant
young EOthen of half century ago gives
n playful description of his own delight in
finding smiling faces and the laughter of
girls upon his path in the little hill city of
the nativity; and one cannot but remem-
Der his words when the women flock out
to their doors-in greater numbers, surely,
than in other places-as the carriage dashes
up a narrow street where the panels al
most Craze the walls, and the pavement
seems composed of powders like the bed
of a mountain stream. This is a trif1e in
the east, where in towns much more i'm
portant than this, which is little among
the cities of Judah-thriving cities like
Smyrna and Beyrout-you drive over
thoroughfares like water courses at the
peril of your life.
The inhabitants of Bethlehem are all
Christians, which is cheering to begin
with, and the feminine part of them are
unusually distinguished by good looks, and
wear beautiful costume-embroidere
jacket with long hanging sleeves, and
skirts in various colors-eXceedingly pict
uresque and striking. Their heads are
adorned with silver chains and coins en-
circling the forehead and falling on each
side of the face, over which the women who
are married wear some sort of a stiff round
cap, over which is arranged "A long veil of
the fine unbleached linen which is peculiar
to the east, embroidered with Il heavy Dor
der in rich colors of slk-red and purple
and blue. This headdress gives a kind of
mild majesty to their clear tints and well
cut features, and they sell their vegetables
like princesses-not in disguise, but grace

An AcfreSS, Pet.

Next to a rattlesnake, probably the
most unpleasant of all the animals in
creation to make domestic pet of is
that owned by Pearl Means. Some
months ago friend in Florida offered
her in jest a juvenile alligator, and Miss
Means accepted it. The little saurian
was duly forwarded, and has since taken
up large place in its mistress affec-
tions. She attends to all its reptilian
wants with great solicitude, and it is
amusing to see the little beast-a yellow
ribbon hidden coquettishly round its
wrinkled neck-wriggling about in her
lap and waggling its scaly tail as she
strokes its head.
The alligator commends itself for do
mestic adoption by one capital virtue
economy. Succi isn't circumstance to
its starving abilities. During six months
Miss Means pet requires no food, and it
sleeps twenty-five hours out of the twen-
ty-four. The only Inconvenience that
can possibly arise will be when the mini
ature leviathan advances in years and
develops its natural instincts for human
morceaux. A finger may then be snap
ped off the hand that caresses it before
the hand knows where it is.-New York

A Costly Now Necklace.

No account of the jewels worn by
women prominent in Washington society
would be complete without mention of
the magnificent diamond necklace pur-
chased two winters ago by Col John d.
Langhorne for his wife. The necklace,
brought to Washington by dealer in
precious stones, was first placed on ex-
hibition by one of the leading jewellers
in the city, and for several weeks there
after was more widely talked and written
about than anything of the kind since
the international discussion over the dia-
monds sent by the khedive to Gen. Sher-
mans daughter upon the occasion of her
marriage to Lieut.. Thackara
The stones were not only of unusual
size, but each one was absolutely flaw
less, and it was said that the collector
had Travelled from end to end of Europe
in order to obtain the number of stones
necessary for the completion of the neck
lace. Finally, after many conflicting
rumors as to the ultimate destination of
the necklace, it was purchased for a
small fortune by Col. Langhorne as a
Christmas present for his wife. Subse-
quently it was decided to place it for
safe keeping in the vaults at Riggs bank
until the undesirable tumult of talk con-
cerning it had subsided. Washington

Miss Abbott's Care of Her Health.

Miss Abbott's illness is a grim sarcasm
upon the exceeding care which she took
of herself for the last twelve years. No
other woman upon the stage exercised
greater vigilance in the protection of her
health. The pains which Miss Abbott
took to secure proper rest and sleep
made that lady veritable terror to ho-
tel proprietors. She invariably insisted
upon room at the top of the house, and
this apartment had to be hung around
with blankets and quilts to exclude light
and noise. The dread of draughts kept
her in constant terror, and never during
the season would she venture out of
doors without being enveloped in furs
and rugs. OF horses she was particularly
afraid, and, although she was compelled
to employ them almost constantly, she
never had feeling of security while in
carriage. Never was there woman
SO completely q slave to her regard for
the welfare of her physique, and it is
hard to understand how she came to vio-
late the injunctions of the physician who
apprised her of the consequences likely
to follow her appearance in Salt Lake
City while a severe cold was upon her.

To Do Away with Black for Mourning.


There is in active operation funeral
reform association, every member of
which is pledged to fight Grape and to use
her influence on the undertakers, station
ers and upholsterers with whom she
comes in contact. Oddly enough the wo-
men are very young and correspondingly
influential Americans, as rule, go in
for the heaviest mourning, blackest trap
pings, and the broadest bands. Their
Grape is not only of the crapiest kind, but
overpowering i'll weight and depth. The
livery is black; prayer books, purses, card
cases and even watches are bound in Jet
or enamel, and it is not unusual to find
women of means living in boudoir COW
cred with white crash and hung with
black drapery.
An upholsterer in Sixth avenue has
had three orders from eccentric widows
TO paint their doors black AS matter
of fact heavy mourning is no longer fash
ionable. People are getting more and
more averse to Grape every year. One of
the signs of the times is the disappear
ance of the Grape and streamers from the
door bells. In wealthy homes a servant
is kept at the door to receive callers.
Often a sort of cap is tied over the knob
without any ribbons at all, and where
the views of the late Henry Ward Beech
er are entertained garland of blossoms
and foliage is fastened to the bell-pull. -
