Ornaments Now Considered in Good Taste
to Wear.

Ornaments Now Considered in Good Taste
to Wear.
An interrogation point Is the design
Of a new stick pin.
Women are beginning to show a fond
ness for knotted rings.
Tiny vases Of glass mounted in filigrea
Of silver gilt are introduced.
Large, dull red vases ornamented ia
look like Indian lacquer are used as
lamps.
a pea blossom in dead gold beautifully
modelled is brooch of unusual beauty.
Colored stones of the semi-precious
sort are used as ornaments in hat pins
and as decorative jewelry.
Entire sets of drawing room furniture
in silver fligree are set on plaques of
glass in the present fashion for cabinet
ornaments.
Anticipation is excited by the news
that the King of Siam is going to send
his magnificent collection of jewels to
Europe to be sold.
The use of gilt In costumes has
obliged lavish use of gilt in its Access
sories. Gold lorgnon holders, gold
combs or silver gilt are in large excess.
Unique and curious rings are valued
now by women. They invite inspection
and induce conversation. A handsome
intaglio will give the wearer reputa-
| tion as a connoisseur.
Sticlspins are conforming to the ne
cessity of cheapness and beauty. The
richest Of these are the twisted knots
with a tiny stone in the center Small
diamonds, sapphires and rubies are
used. and the pins are made moderate
in price. The dull and closed knots are
richer than those that are FURNISHED.
Scarfpins and sticlipins with rhine
stones showing on mounting are in
lavish profusion, rhinestones are in fact
having a fine run. The use of rhine
stone buckles on hats, crescents, stars
and other ornaments was never so
great Other kinds of jewelry are used
in this way, and a couple of diamond
rings used to adjust Widows veil show
| TO what excess this fashion is carried.
Small floral stickpins are produced in
numbers. The violet, the pansy, the
clover-leaf, the forget-me-not are the
| favorite flowers. These have tiny
diamond in the center. This is scarce
ly more than glimmer of light, but it
is very effective and does not add great
~ to the expense. In speaking of these
it must be understood that they are on
a simpler scale in form, and much larger
in numbers, than those previously
| shown, and means that it is more i'm
perative than ever to use stickpins, and
that they must be brought within the
price Of every one.-Jewelers' Circular.

FEMALE HERMIT
Lives In a Cave and Feeds on
Grasses and Herbs.
A Man Endcavors TO Capture the Strange
Creature, But she Fights Like De-
mon aud Repulscs Him--The Wom-
ans Identity Is Mystery.

GEORGETOWN, Tex, July 2.-T. Mar
tin, young farmer living in the Rhea
neighborhood, this county, had an cY-
citing encounter with the mysterious
wild woman who has been tcrrorizing
people in the vicinity of Georgetown for
the past three weeks. Martin lives in
the San Gabriel river bottoms, and last
evening, after days labor in his cot
ton field, started home. He was cross
ing a stretch of dense woodland near
the river when he suddenly came upon
the strange creature who has so stirred
up this community. The woman was
entirely nude, and was down on all
fours greedily devouring the tender
grass and cacti buds. Martin watched
her from behind clump of bushes for
few minutes, and finally decided to
attempt her capture. He had a stout
twine string in his pocket. with which
he expected to bind her hands securely.
Having laid his plans. he crept
stealthily up behind the woman. He
made spring for her and grabbed her
by the foot. The wild creature, upon
being taken by surprise, went into a
terrible rage, and fought like a demon.
According to Martins story, the battle
was terrible one while it lasted. He
was here to-day, and bears deep wounds
on his face and arms. which he claims
were caused by the woman's teeth and
finger nails. She made no outcry dur
ing the encounter, and after freeing
herself she darted into the thick under
brush. Martins description of the
strange woman tallies with that given
| by the various reliable citizens of this
place who saw her in the same neigh
| borhood last week.
She is of splendid form, about 10
years of age and has long, raven-blacS
hair, which is badly matted and tan
| gled, giving her weird appearance.
There are u number Of spacious caverns
along the San Gabriel river, and it is
believed that the woman makes hei
home in one of these caves. Whcr
seen by VIM. Sellers and another boy
last Saturday she was in the woods
feeding on grass. The people here are
| greatly excited over the woman. There
is no young girl missing in this county
and from whence this strange wild
woman comes is a mystery. A force OF
men is being organized in the Rhes
neighborhood to hunt her down anC
make her a captive by placing her il
the insane asylum, where she rightfully

Columbus Csnnons,

CHICAGO, June 3O.--Two of the iden-
tical cannons which were at one time
mounted on board Christopher Colum-
bus flagship, are at the Ft Wayne de-
pot. Nothing but the body OF the
guns remain, the woodwork having
rotted away centuries ago. The
guns are almost worn to pieces, and
are not much less than huge chunks of
rust. The relics were found by naval
officer on one of the West Indian islands.
Tradition and substantial proof showed
that the cannons had been used in a
fort erected by Columbus son, and they
were brought from Spain with the Co
lumbus fleet The government prizes
the cannons as the best exhibit yet Sc
cured.

CINCINNATI, June 29.-The prohibi-
ton platform promises to be q model,
and will be written by some of the
shrewdest men in the party. On the
silver question it will probably advo-
cate the purchase and coinage by the
government of all silver produced in the
United States. While this will initiate
the currency, it will, at the same time,
prevent the big silver owners from
reaping the benefit and will be in the
interest of the people at large. 1t will
say that all speculation in the issuing of
money should be prevented, and that the
government should have the benefit Of
all issuances. On tariff it will oppose
protection as well as free trade. 1t
will advocate that the tariff should be
practically prohibitory on all countries
that in turn levy tariff upon American
products 1t is proposed to raise the
residue of revenue necessary to carry
on the government by graduated in
come tax. So far as change of name
is concerned, if any is recommended it
will be Home Party" but as the bene-
fits tc be derived from change of name
are small it is likely that the present
one will stand.

The Balloon Bursts.

LONDON, June SO.-A terrible accident
occurred at the Crystal Palace here
Wednesday afternoon. One of the at
fractions in the grounds is captive
balloon, which carries passengers up as
far as the rope attached to it will allow.
Wednesday afternoon it assembled with
four occupants, and after reaching a
height of one hundred feet, it burst. Capt.
Dale, one of the occupants, struck the
ground with terrific force, and was in
stantly killed. The other three passen-
gers were terribly injured, and it is not
believed that they will live.

COLUMBUS, o., July 2.-Secretary Bon
ham of the state board of agriculture is
receiving additional information regard
ing the injury to the wheat crop. He
learns that the damage done is WIDE
spread and that early wheat especially
is in bad condition. Samples sent
him show an injury of from go to 70 per
cent. Not only will the yield be dlmin-
ished, but the quality will be found
lower than it should be because of the
presence in the heads of many small
damaged grains. The outlook is decid-
edly bad.

KANSAS WHEAT CROP.
Great Trouble in Securing Harvest Hands
BiRgest Crop ON Record.

Biggest Crop on Record.
TOPEKA, Kan, July 2.-Kansas farm
ers are having great trouble in secur-
ing sufficient hands to harvest the enor-
nous crop of wheat in the state, most
of which is now ready for cutting.
There is an alarming scarcity of farm
hands and the farmers are Offering high
wages to secure sufficient help. At
all the stations along the Santa Fe
railway the trains are daily besieged by
farmers trying to secure men to work.
They offer from 81 to S3 a day with
board, wages which have never been
known to prevail in the state before.
Last years wheat crop was 54,O55, ,OOC
bushels and the yield this year will
probably exceed that of any previous
year in the history of the state. In the
central and northern portions of the
state at least 20, 900 farm hands can find
employment at wages ranging from 81
to So day with board during the pres
ent harvest.

Lemonade, they say nowadays, is a
very healthy drink if properly made,
and is good for malaria, biliousncss
and other attendant evils. This viii
be joyful news to the young people
who would like not hing better than to
have lemonade ION tap" all through
the summer On no account should it
be made in any tin vessel as the acid of
the lemon forms with the tin poison
that is very apt to produce sickness.
This is the cause probably of the vnri-
GUS cases of lemonade poisoning" of
which we hear so frequently, and
which are attribu ted to every cause but
the right one. 1t is better to drink
lemonade without sugar if possible, and
in any event it should not be too
sweet. A physician who has great
deal of experience says that glass of
lemonade without sugar before going
TO bed and another on rising in tae
morning, about half an hour before
breakfast, is preferable 70 calomel for
biliousness, and is better and more et.i-
cacious than Congress water or Hun
yadi. Lemons should not be eaten
clear, but should always be diluted
with water.-N. Y. Tribune.

VITAL POWERS.
The Ability Some Possess of Resisting Dis
ease,


Vitality is certainly not identical with
physical strength, for athletes are
scarcely ever long-lived: women have,
on the whole, more vitality than men;
and very feeble men, in the athletic
sense, constantly attend the funerals of
far stronger juniors Nor does the
quality of vitality arise from any supe-
rior strength of brain. The able often
live long and often die young. The
great lawyers and theologians. men of
abnormal acuteness, often reach a vast
age as do gamekeepers and country
clergymen, with neither of whom is the
brain very active or often fatigued. The
greatest living poet is as old and as
healthy as Mr.. Gladstone, and the last
centenarian recorded, or last hut one, was
a sort of respectable female tramp. Sir
| Moses Montefiore, who died at one hun
dred and one, was most acute-minded
man, and so was Henry Martyr, the
senior wrangler who turned mission
ary, and after life of travel not un-
like that of Sir Moses, died of ex-
haustion just seventy years younger.
There is a fan cy abroad, among the cul-
tivated, that very stupid men do not
reach great age; but if they ask few
masters of warehouses; and the mana
gers of the great charities, they would
find that is an error. Nor can the
quality be accurately traced to any con-
ditions or method of life. The very old
are often intensely vivacious, but they
are often also very dull, occasionally
almost imbecile. The rich, according
to modern theories, ought to possess
the highest vitality; but, as a matter of
fact, it belongs taking all the world,
to negroes who were slaves in the West
India islands, and in England to game
keepers and excessively poor women.
The only facts we certainly know about
habits as conducive to vitality are that
freedom from anxiety is favorable to it,
probably by conserving the pumping
power of the heart, and that it is in Il
rather singular degree hereditary, the
capacity of living surviving in many
families the most violent changes in
the habits of each generation, even the
most violent changes in residential
climates. Those who cling to life in
tensely often die early; while the in
different live on till death seems to
have finished that furrow and yet
passed them by. No; vitality is not
Synonymous with strength of will,
though it must be, on the evidence, u
non-material quality. 1t is more like
gift" than anything else, like that
strangest of all capacities, the feeling
for music, which must be in measure
spiritual, yet has absolutely no relation
| to mental power.-London Spectator.

La Grippe in Ancient Greece.

A student at Amherst college claims
to have discovered that la grippe is not
modern disease, but prevailed nearly
five hundred years before Christ, said
student having found a description Of
