All Because Of Human Vanity

There is a vast deal of smuggling
done in precious stones in the Port Of New
York. Persons have been known to
carry thousands of dollars worth OF
diamonds, rubies, pearls and other gems
ashore from steamers, having them in
their mouths, in the lining Of their hats,
or slowed away in the seams of theil
clothes. A diamond dealers travelling
agent often has 10 the little box which
he carries suspended from his shoulder
by a strap thirty thousand dollars worth
of jewels. Some of these jewel dealers
were murdered in silent places in the
past when making their semi-aunual
business trips, but now they all 90 well
armed, and are more wary.-Once-a-

A. From Writings, chalks, clays or other inert
powders for n base, AMI are entirely dependent
upon glue to hold them on the wall.

try the same style of makeup for both.
There is great danger that the chatc-

TIE FAN FAD.

An English paper that is quite pro-
gressive in its methods recently offered a
prize for the prettiest fan designed.
There wore thousands of competitors,
but the palm was taken and the prize
was carried off by little school girl only
fifteen years of age.
The fan was so very pretty il design
that it deserved the prize. There is no
doubt about it. 1t represented peacock's
feathers done upon a changeablc electric
blue and green background. There was
ono very large feather extending from
the side OF the fan almost all the way
across 1t, while several smaller feathers
crossed the stem of the large one. In the
other corner there was a bunch of pea
cocz feathers, each one of which showed
curious and beautiful play in colors.
The fan fad is raging SO obstinately
among US that 1t IS difhcult 10 keep women
supplied with anything like the number
of fans they crave. If you enter house
you sec here, there and everywhere fans
displayed in possible aud what should be

Gently the fan fad is certainly the pTettiest
and most sensible one. 1t is likewise
capable of more artistic treatment than
fads usually are, and it bids fair to hold
its popularity for many seasons, or until

A Skeleton In the Crystal.

The aged DR.. Collier relates the fol-
lowing: In 1912 an old and worthy
friend, of whose strict veracity / haven't
the least possible doubt , came from Burn
ham, England, with a relative to trans
act some business in London. During
the time Of my absence from home with
this relative, my friend, through sheer
curiosity, took up small oval-mountcd
crystal which stood near him on table,
and began to examine it. After looking
at it intently for few minutes aud try
ing tc guess, as he afterwards told me,
what on earth such novelty could be
used for, he noticed that the surface of
the instrument became clouded. This
he at first attributed to his having blown
his breath upon it. He tried to remove
the deW-like cloud with his handkerchief,
but his efforts seemed to increase the
cloudiness. Presently the cloud took
upon itself the form of the legs OF an
ostrich, the toes and knee. joints being
clearly outline For a second they
seemed to open and close at the joints
like pair of calipers. While gazing in
awe-stricken wonder and amazement at
this uncanny exhibition of the supernat-
ural, my friend noticed that the figure
was slowly but surely changing its form.
The ostrich legs had become those of
CHASTITY human skeleton, and almost in.
stantly the final change came, which
converted the cloudiness OF the upper
part of the glass into ribs, vertebTe, long,
bony arms, the whole surmounted by q
hideous, grinniDg skull. At this junct.
ure, according to my friends story, he
began to feel a great oppression in the
region of the chest and numbness and
giddiness in the head. lie lost no timo
in replacing the crystal upon the table,
and says that it was some hours before
he was able to throw off the unpleasant
sensation which his curious experience
produced.
1t was not until nesTly two years after
this that he ventured to tell me of the
circumstance; even then I could not in
duce him to inspect the crystal again.
In conclusion | may remark that the
dear friend, who was absent with me at
the time, died at about the time Mr..
B. saw the skeleton dancing in the
crystal. Louis Republic.

Habits of the Moose.

]. G.. Lockhart says that moose
generally lie with the tail windward,
trusting to their senses of hearing and
smelling, which are remarkably acute, to
warn them of approaching danger from
that quarter, using their eyes to warn
them from danger to leeward. While
they are sleeping or chewing the cud,
their ears are in perpetual motion, one
forward, the other backward alternately.
Mr.. Lockhart also claims that the moose
has the remarkable habit of making a
short turn and sleeping below the wind
Of their fresh track, so that any one
