Some OF the Latest Things In the Jewelry
Turquoise jewelry continues fashion
able.
The honeysuckle is q popular design
in silver.
A pretty turquoise necklace seen, was
formed of stars and crescents.
New prisms in silver take more
than the bright finish with pierced bor-
ders.
The daintiest brooches for summer
dresses are those which take the form
of flowers.
A very handsome spoon seen recently
was of gold with handle designed in
open work.
The dog flower is an effective design
In silver ware when chased on q bright
finished surface.
A tea set wrought in Indian chasing
and having all the pieces in low dubious
form, Is thing of beauty.
Finger rings showing three rows of
gems, five in each row, give, when on
the finger, the impression of three Ave-
stone rings.
Razor-strops with silver handles have
been added to the already long list of
siver toilet articles made expressly for
mems use.
A favorite bracelet with horsewomen
consists of curb-chain, ornamented
with pair Of snaffles and diamond
horseshoe.
Rare specimens of the orchid, faith
fully represented in enamel and mount
ed in gold or silver, are worn in the
hair or used to fasten the corsage.
There Is sporting smack about some
of the new jewelry, in illustration OF
which may be cited the hunting brooch,
which is made in form of tally-ho
horn and surmounted by fox.-Jew-

SPOILED THE ELOPEMENT.

A Goat Engaged in n Nocturnal PrOwl
Smashed a Romance to Pieces.
Not long ago young lady who de-
sired to get up with the lark, in order
to go on an clipping tour, adopted the
schoolboy's plan, and the lover was to
be on hand at daybreak to give the sig
nal.
The string used for the pedal commu-
nication was stout cord, and one end
was dropped out of the third story win
dow into the back yard, and the other
end, of course, was attached to the
damsel's great toe. The legend runs
that healthy goat of the William per-
suasion arose early next morning and
wandered into the yard.
After eating up all the old sardine
tins, barrel slaves and broken crockery,
he found the string and took that in as
dessert. AS soon as the string was
drawn taut the goat stood upon his hind
legs and gave an impulsive jerk. The
girl awoke. The goat gave another
sudden pull and the maiden jumped
out of bed with smothered cry Of
pain.
Then she stopped down to detach the
cord just as the ridiculous beast gave
another violent jerk, and she nearly
lost her equilibrium, and her toe, too,
the cord cutting into the tender flesh.
She sprang to the window and called
down in a coarse whisper:
"Stop pulling, Harry. I'll be down
| in minute"
Then she made another effort to un-
tie the cord, but the persistent goat
gave his head several angry bobs, and
each time the girl uttered a cry of pain.
Again she called into the darkness:
Harry if you don't stop jerking like
that won't come down at all"
She was answered by another savage
pull, and the cry of anguish that escap-
ed her brought her mother into the
room with look Of alright and a
lighted lamp. The young lady tainted,
the elopement was nipped in the bud,
and the disappointed maiden's toe was
sore for a month. The goat escaped

PAuL'S NEW SUIT.

Tho Trouble Little Boy Had When
Trying to Wear Papa's Clothes.
Little Paul was having "spell."
That was what nurse always called it
when he was as cross as X.
What was the matter? Why. he did
not want to wear girls dress any
more. He was five years old. So there
he was in his chamber 'sullSing' behind
the closet door.
Papa didn't have to wear dresses!"
he thought, for there was a whole suit
over to grandma's house, in the back
chamber, that he had worn when he
was little boy.
Paul thought hard for a minute; then,
as soon as nurse had gone to the kitch-
en-, he ran down stairs, out of the hall,
and over to grandma's house.
Grandma was in the dairy making a
cheese, so he crept quietly up the back
stairs.
Yes there they hung on high wood
en- peg by the chimney. He got mp on
the meal-chest, and then had to jump
to reach them.
But such nice time as he had dress
ing! The buttons would not stay but
toned, and there was hole in the
jacket sleeve-lining through which his
hand would slip every time. And the
pants came away down beyond his
shoes Then he rolled the legs up like
Jake, the hired man. But the jacket
hung nearly to his heels for papa was
ten years old when he wore It,
Yet Paul went down and looked at
himself in the duck-pond, and was well
pleased
He had not gone far on his way home
when Jerry and Dick Dean, two rude
boys, ran out after him from behind
high fence, and made sport and shouted;
"Daddy-long-legs!'
Oh, how he ran! And they did, too
The pant-legs unrolled and tripped him
up and he fell into the dirty road.
Well, he got to the home gate at last,
but Rover would not let him come in.
He barked and growled, thinking 1t
little beggar, for I'm sorry to say that
Rover did not like beggars.
Then Bridget came to the door and
babe him go away.
Poor PAUL. He could not bear any
more. He leaned his head on the fence
and cried.
Pretty soon mamma came out. How
she laughed when she saw who 1t was.
And she took him in and washed him
and put on his pretty blue-cloth dress
with the white braid, and Paul was him
self again. Western Rural.

NUMBER AZ.

"May I take it this noon, and ask
him." said Ida.
Mrs. Kimball told her that she might
do SO, and Ida took the kitten tendevly
in her arms and carried it away.
Mr. Green said that he had kitten
already, and did not care for another
one, and Ida left the store with hap
py heart,
When she looked at the church clock
she was surprised to see that she had
hardly time to reach the school before
1t began. What should she do with
kitty?
She could not carry 1t home, for that
would make her late for school, and
she could not leave the poor little thing
In the street to get lost. There was
nothing to be done but carry kitty to
school.
The teacher was surprised and the
scholars amused to see Ida walk in with
a kitten in her arms. The teacher shut
kitty up in the dressing-room, where he
cried distressingly. After awhile all
was still. One of the girls went to the
dressing-room to get q pencil, and re-
turned with the news that kitty was
gone. The teacher searched the build
ing in vain, and Ida's face was very
sad one.
"He probably jumped out of the win
dow" said Miss Brown, land has gone
home"
81 think he is too little to find the way
home" added Ida
just then the bell rang for school to
dismiss, and the children walked slowly
to the dressing-room In moment one
of the largest girls came running back,
followed by Ida, whose face was again
covered with smiles and dimples
"Miss Brown" said Maggie, "here's
the kitty, asleep in my hat"
Maggie's hat hung on the highest nail,
and kitty had climbed up to it. Nesting
in the crown, he had slept there while
every one was looking for Hmm. A.

A Good Idea.

Jack had been away on three years
cruise. His shipmate, Tom, had died in
the first month. Jack had now return
ed home and it was his painful duty to
break the news to Toms poor wife,
who had been waiting patiently for her
husbands return. Jack could face an
ocean of brine, he said, and enjoy it,
but two drops standing in woman's
eyes were too much for him. In his
dilemma he he went to Jim, another
shipmate.
"How shall do it Jim? How shall l
begin?"
Don't begin at ALL" said Jim; lust
tell her Tom died three years ago. She
won't mind it much; it was so long ago,

THE BEST DOCTOR.
Sunshine Serves to Dissipnte Disease and
Purify the Atmosphere.

"Where the sun does not 60, there
goes the DOCTOR" says the italian prov
erb. All sorts of disease, from con-
sumption downward, are mitigated or
cured by sunlight and pure air. This Is
great commonplace; and so Is this 9TH
er, that food Is the most important of
all medicines. But how to get all
classes of the people, and especially the
poor, to believe that life and health
dwell in the suns beams, that Is great
difficulty. The indiscriminate opening
of windows in all weathers and at all
hours Of the day and night is not a good
thing; but it is hundred times better
than never opening them. at all. If the
inhabitants of large towns were really
intelligent and wise, they would watch
for the sun as the sailors wife watches
from her cottage on the hillside for the
return of her husbands ship; and when
they saw it shining they would open
every large and small window in the
house to Its utmost capacity until 1t
went down again. There is every rea-
son to believe that the germs of such
diseases as scarlet fever, diphtheria,
typhoid and other such deadly enemies
are nullifed or entirely destroyed by
strong sunlight. Not only, however,
has the sun the power of making germs
die, but it is equally endowed with the
potency of making men live. 1t is
probable that almost every householder
could bring at least double the quanti-
ty of sunshine into the house during
the year that usually enters. But the
bringing in of the sun means, accord
ing to our italian proverb, the keeping
out of the doctor 1t is not wise to
keep the doctor out when he is really
needed, but the doctor himself is the
first to prescribe that all reasonable
methods shall be adopted for the preser.

WRESTLING FOR WIND.
The Supposed Origin of an Old Supersti
ton of the Sea.

Tho Supposed Origin of an Old Supersti-
ton of the Sea.
There Is nothing so tedious, so aggra-
waiting to the sailor as dead calm
Drift, drift, drift, day after day, the
great burning sun overhead reflected by
the waters until the eye becomes
wearied with the eternal brightness
The sailor goes about his work listless-
ly. Not so the officer of the deck. He
PAGES the poop with quiet nervous
tread, "whistling for wind"
He is scanning the horizon north,
south, east and west, carefully noting
every little patch of clouds and whis-
Ting with all of his soul for wind.
This is one of the old, old superstitions
of the sailor, one of the beliefs which
has been traced hither and thither,
but never to the Precipitation of the
gods. 1t probably had its origin in the
impotence of the mariner, who. while
his vessel lay drifting idly In the Zone
of Calms," remembered with regret
the hoarse moaning, shrieking and
whistling of the winds in the more ia
vored spots on the deep and involuntar
lily tried to initiate it. And this suppo-
sition is strengthened by the character
of the whistling, for it must be remem-
bered that the becalmed sailor does not
whistle "Annie Laurie" or any of the
popular songs of the day, The lone
some thrill of his monotonous whistle"
is series of polyglot sounds that
would set magpie wild with envy. He
does not aim at rhythm, but elects his
puffs of air in long and short notes.

Designs for Silk Skirts,

The shot-silk petticoats which pro-
duce the fashionable frou-frou as their
wearers walk about are made with
founced borders, four or five in num-
Der, or one half a yard deep which is
rather closely gathered. The lower
edge is trimmed with supplementary
frill three inches wide, which is pinked
and made as full as possible. Many of
the expensive silk skirts are deeply
plated in shell-shaped festoons, with a
row of lace at the edge of each plating
French designers have sent over very
costly garments made like low
necked princess dress, demi-trained
This garment is sort Of compromise
between petticoat and silk corset
cover, and, being narrowly gored and
beautifully shaped, makes an ideal gar
ment to wear beneath perfectly fitted
tailor costume or princess evening toll
eft, as there are neither bands nor
gathers about the waist and hips. The
home dressmaker, by the aid of a fine
fitting princess dress pattern, can make
her own garments of this sort at about
fifth of the cost of an imported one.-

The Going-Away Gown.

The going-away gown is the one as
sumed to travel in, or, where quiet
wedding is to take place, il may be the
bridal gown itself. Many sensitive girls
do not care to proclaim by the newness
of their travelling dresses that they
have just been married, and they are
the ones who, wisely enough, put on a
gown that has seen some little wear
when they are to be among the crowd.
The soft shades mauve, gray and the
numerous tints of lavender are especi-
ally liked this year for brides travelling
dresses The widow, who is being
married the second time, chooses a cos
tune of this sort and it Is for her more
than anyone else that the somewhat
elaborate cloth gown is arranged
