COLOR OF GOLD.

II Depends on tho Locstion Where the
Precious Metal II Found.
"Most people suppose" says an as
sayer, ''that all gold is alike when re-
fined, but this is not the case. An ex-
perienced man can tell at a glance from
what part Of the world gold piece
comes, and in some cases from what
part of particular gold district the
metal was obtained. .s..
THE Australian gold. for instance, is
distinctly redder thun the Californian,
and this difference in color is always
thousand fine.
Again, the gold obtained from the
placers is yellower than that which is
taken directly from quartz. Why this
should be the case is one of the mys-
teries of metallurgy, for the placer gold
all comes from the veins. The Ural
gold is the reddest found anywhere.
Sew people know the real color of
gold, as it is seldom seen unless heavily
alleged, which renders it redder than
when pure. The purest coins ever
made were the fifty-dollar pieces that
used to be common in California.
'"Their coinage was abandoned for
two reasons; first, because the loss by
abrasion was so great, and secondly.
because the interior could be bored out
and lead substituted, the difference IN
weight being too small to be readily
noticed in SO large piece. These
lagoon coins were the noost valuable
ever struck. : v--.~---

The altitude q the anti-lottery

The altitude Of the anti-lottery
Democrats 81 Louisiana provokes a
suspicion that their zeal in behalf Of
the Interests Of society is By no means
a /deep and sincere as they pretend.
rfhe lottery owners have acknowledged
their defeat by the Supreme Court de-
cision, and have retired from the con-
test; but the anti-lottery Democrats Of
Louisiana still keep the field. This
indicates that in forming thsIr organic
alton they were inspired quite asmuch
by desire for Office and spoils as by
hostility to the lottery. BY maintain
ing their party organizations they are
only playing into the hands Of the
Louisiana Republicans, compared with
whose corrupt and demoralizing ma
chine the lottery is a praiseworthy in
stitntion.

ProgrpsslYe Cnnversntions.

Several suburbs of New York have found a substitute for progressive eucher in progressive conversation. The game originated in the fertile brains of two women, who, owing to their inability to "take hand" in the prevalent pastime, invariably found themselves on the rag ged edge in all village social gatherings. One was a minister's wife, who could not play from principle; the other was constitutionally unable to learn the sci ence of any card game. They put their heads together, and the progressive con- versational party is the result.
 The limit is six tables; four persons sit at each. A daintily decorated card. bearing on one side the number and on the other twelve questions. is laid on each table. Four minutes discussion of each question is allowed every guest. By the time the six tables have ex- changed every question will have been discussed by every guest. Each table votes upon the best conversationist, and the aggregate of votes declares the victor, to whom prize is awarded.

Life Insurance for Women.

A feature of life insurance in the west Is the growing inclination of women to take out endowment policies that they may have an income to fall back upon when old age overtakes them. This, it seems, is the motive of most women who insure themselves. Occasionally one of them insures her life for the benefit of heirs, but such practice is rare among those who are compelled to work for liv- ing. Not many years ago woman who took outan insurance policy was thought to be unusually progressive, but now adays she may carry heavy risk with out exciting much comment.
 A well known Milwaukee heiress. Miss Lizzie Plankinton, has her life insured for $50, 900, and the wife of prominent Chicago insurance man pays premiums on policy of $50,000 An incident of the extension of the business among women is naturally the appearance of female agents in competition with men, In Milwaukee there are two young wom- en who make comfortable living as in surance solicitors. and they find many patrons in their own sex.-New York Post.

tsYsuin@ SuSpenders.

No indeed. the girls have not had enough of the suspender by any means, and fashionable modistes are introduc- ing for their benefit upon the corsage of evening gowns an arrangement which copies the popular ribbon suspender as closely as evening wear permits.
 The ribbons are not crossed. suspender fashion, in the back, it is true, but rib bon in medium width is carried over the shoulders from back to front and fas- tened to the band of the skirt. The odd est part of the whiln is that decollete toilet does uOt affect it, for right over my lady's bare neck and shoulders the ribbons are drawn, frequently acting as bar" ground for the most delightful fancies
 One girl has her evening suspenders sewn so closely with tiny buds and blos- sons that DO portion of the ribbon is visible, and the bodice appears to be strapped down with bands of flowers. Jewels also sprinkle many of the hand somest specimens, these presenting the most brilliant appearance, especially when plentiful loops of gem showered garnitures stand upon the shoulders. Of course it rests with the wearer just how elaborate these evening suspenders, as they are called, shall be. plain ribbon, If daintily arranged. being quite pretty as the more expensive designs.-Phila- delphia Inquirer.
