During the same period he had had S5 pairs of trousers made, costing altogether c92 9s.

Two Lovers at Cnnoncl,ct.

A story is going the rounds here which causes considerable amusement. A short time ago two lovers, who had come out for walk in the moonlight, strayed into Mrs. Spragues grounds, and their sweet dream was rudely broken in upon by the baying of the hounds, who gave chase to the intruders The young lady stood not upon the order of her going, but went at the top of her speed, while her less nimblo lover climbed to the top of a haystack, where he remained till 3 o'clock, when he was rescued by Mrs. Sprague. - Canonchet Cor.

Rapid Digging.

Then new Australian mole, Motorcycles,
is prodigiously agile and swift, prop
erty on which Mr.. Benham, who lived
for some time at Idracowra, says:
Everybody here can tell you how soon
one,of these animals will get away by
digging in the sand. I had brought a
live one to the house and we were talk
ing of its agilityin digging. MIR. Stokes
desired to see it at work. After spading
and turning over the ground near the
house we set the animal down; I held it
in my hands till it was nearly hidden,
and then tried to-overtake it by scratch
ing the ground behind it, but it was
quicker than 1. took shovel and
tried to find it, but without success.
Another man came to my help with a
second shovel, and also q native woman
used to digging in the ground with her
hands. But all three of us could not
find it. Popular Science Monthly.

Jewelry in History.

Jewelry is as ancient as the existence
of the precious metals and the precious
stones. In no age of ,barbarism or of
puritanical simplicity has the jewel been
entirely discarded. The ages of barba-
rism were those of unexampled splendor
and decoration. Conquering hosts rif1ed
the treasure chests of their victims and
carried home in triumph their jewels
and jewelry. The ancient Greeks, Per-
slams, Egyptians and Romans were
adopts in decorating their persons, and
their men were no less demonstrative
than their women. Masses of gold
chains sparkling with jewels, earrings
and finger rings adorned the person of
the Roman dandy, while the warrior
studded his breastplate, helmet, sword
and shield with emeralds, rubies, sap
phires, pearls and diamonds.
The jewels of the crown are great
show pieces in every kingdom in the
world, while family diamonds or pearls,
as the case may be, are just as jealously
guarded and handed down from genera
tion to generation, priceless heirlooms,
souvenirs of the past. In the jewelers.
art of today two widely different ma
tions probably excel all others in the
originality of their designs-France and
Russia. The former not only originates
designs Of her own, but calls upon her
varied art imagination to adapt all the
fancies and crudities of the ancients,
until her jewelry sets the patterns from
which all others save Russia copy.-H.

"Oh, Adele, have found life's sweet

GUS fashion. However, if you love her
and she loves you, and you are the
honest man that people say you are,

you deal with her."

GRAY DAWN.

Gray dawn peeps in and swoetly smiles:
A light breeze, sweeping down the stream,
Lifts high the fog in snowy piles;
The SUMS first burning lances CLEAN
Along the pebbled river banks,
And misty hosts in mad retreat
Withdraw their broken, scattered ranka
The bold sun marks their sad defeat
And dissipates their struggling fanks.
Gray dawn gives place to ruddy day;
The great sun swings through azure skies,
And skimming, where the ripples play,
The screaming fishhawks fall and rise.
The CLASSY water, cool and clear,
Reflects one solitary cloud,
And morning song birds, far and near,
Repeat their mathis shrill and loud,
'.rhe night is done and day is here"
