q German mechanic has recently pat

many advantages over the old fashioned

it TO be in all respects superior.
Its practical design and ingenuity are
characteristic Of the modern tendency
of inventions. II is in the form and az
about the size of an ordinary brick, but
Is composed of cast iron and is hollow.
The shell is SO thin that the brick
weighs less than one made Of clay. A
wall is built Of such bricks without the
use of mortar, and no skilled labor Ii
required in lay ing them. The upper and
lower sides of the bricks are provided
with grooves and proj,c ing ribs. which
fit into each other easily and perfectly
and form wall of great strength.

A Cincinnati Tdyl.

There is to be wedding in the West
End soon which will be the sequel to a
rather romantic introduction. One
night about year ago daintily attired
little lady got aboard one Of the It'll
street cars on her way home from her
days work in an uptown office. The car
was well filled. and the young lady was
compelled to swing on the end of strap
for many squares. She was little bit
of q body, and she had to stretch her
arms considerably to reach strap for
support The car gave lurch as it
turned corner, and white band made
its appearance about tile little woman'e
waist As it slowly grew larger broad
smiles made their al pearance on the
faces Of several of the male passengers
Feeling something was wrong, th
young lady glanced down at her wais
and at once blusEed crimson with EN-
barrassment A young mechanic on his
way home from work was in the car.
and seeing the young lady's dilemma he
proved himself true gentleman by al
once coming to her assistance. Step
ping between her and the other passen-
gers he said:
Pardon me. miss. but If you wish to
adjust your skirt ! will screen you'frvm
the over curious eyes of these other pas
sengers.
The little lady accepted the proffered
aid with thanks. and after that they
met nearly every evening on their way
home Their acquaintance ripened into
something stronger than friendship, and

suicide Increasing Among Negroes.

1t was such novelty as to attract wide
spread attention, and many newspapers
claimed that it was tile firss case Of its
kind in the country. BE that as it may,
il was but the forerunner Of half dozen
cases in St Louis, and the question is no
longer asked, Whoever heard Of anegro

animal state, no one ever did, but as the
negro in his free state has mingled with

w. A. Kerr, jeweler New York, at

il there were many precious stones
found in the United States. She meant
minerals She was of the same opinion
of many others in this country. that
everything precious in that line was
found only in tile Old World. There is,
believe. little mining here for precious
gems, but it is not because we do not
have them. Rock crystal, which admits
of such high polish. and which is much
used in jewelry now, is found in large
quantities in North Carolina. Virginia,
Georgia, aud Arkansas. There is jet
in Colorado that is equal TO any ever
saw, and ] believe there is some in
Texas. In Maine there is a mountain
called Mount Mica, out of which tour
malines to the value of 500, 600 year
are taken. Moonstone is found i'm Vir-
ginia. and the soil of New Mexico is en-
riched with sapphires, rubies, aud gar
