SILVER AND GEMS
Novel and Handsomc Designs at the u

novel and Handsome Designs at the Jew
clers.
Cut glass cracker jars have plain
silver covers.
A flood Of enameled bow-lxnots of
every hue are in the market.
A turtle brooch has a pearl back SUR
rounded by olivines and diamond head.
Coiled silver snakes, oxidized with
colored heads, are of every sort for scarf
pins.
A new powder box has the puff
mounted on handle and resting on an
ornamental support.
There is large demand for small
sugars and creamers, and they were
never more attractive.
The large new postal cards are already
provided with charming receptacles of
pierced silver.
A new lamp is silver pitcher with
handles on both Sides and globe COW
cred with perforated silver shade.
The branching silver candlesticlSs
uniting in a common stem crossed with
perforated trellis work are a novelty.
Coffee and ice cream spoons, with
she'll tips and shell mounting carried
half way down the gilt bowls, are
pretty.
Silver shaving cups have whole il
lustrated novel as it were chased on the
outside. Here are lords, ladies, ter
races bands and all the paraphernalia
of a high-class love story.
Harlequin sets of coffee spoons are
made with different flower handles.
The pansy, rose, forget-me-not, pea
and the rest of the garden, with green
ish-tinted foliage come in sets,
Silver buckles are in the largest de-
mand at the present MON ent whether
accompanied or not by the silver belt,
Those in medallions or Il exible wire are
preferred to the solid elaborate raised
work belts.
Why do the iewe lers all make belt
buckles convex, thus contradicting the
feminine outlines? They should be
concave. The Russian buckles from
Paris, which are conc ave, are among
the prettiest that can be found.
This is evidently the season of corre-
spondence from the avalanche of pen
trays in the market. One is silver
feather with an owl upright on the quill.
Another has q quill engraved on the bot
tom, with the line, ga word with you. :"
The most attrac tive of all novelties
are the silver butterflies in colored
enamel. Yellow and black predominant
in tint They are charming, either
mounted on spirals, where they tremble
as if for fright, on hat and hairpins, or
as brooches.
Enameled silver pins take chiefly the
form of flowers. The sweet pea is beau
tifully copied in all its exquisite tints
Maiden s. hair fer n and white currants
are two pretty examples. The double
violet also reigns, and the open-petaled
roses and daisies Jewelers. Circular.

WHAT HE HEARD.
The Midnight Adventure of an Eminent
Chicago J1rist.

The Midnight Adventure of an Eminent
Chicago Jlrist.
A few nights ago Judge -, weary
with his days work, laid his head upon
his downy pillow and was soon lost in
sleep. When he gets asleep he can gen.
orally be depended uron to keep quiet
until breakfast is ready. Upon this
night, however, shortly after the lonely
midnight hour, he was disturbed by
some unusual sounds. He rubbed his
eyes to make sure that he was awake.
The sounds were not loud. They could
not come from key saw. AS they came
to his ear they were: "Chick, chick,
chick, thud, chick, chick, chick, thud."
He surely had never heard the likes be-
fore. 1t was evident to him that the
sounds We're muffied. The judge is a
brave man, and forthwith he arose and
put on his pants and slippers
At this juncture he heard louder
thud as of something heavy dropping,
and it was evident that there was more
than one, burglar, for there was sup
pressed laugh and voices were distin-
guished. Should he call upon his wife
for aid, or should he show himself a
man and meet the sound alone? He
feared his wife might complicate tho
case, and so after examining mis- re-
volver and placing it in his hip pocket,
he took his trusty rife and started in
quest of game. He crept stealthily on
until he detected light shining under
the dining-room door.
1t is very different thing to meet a
party of burglars in ones own house
from what it is to sit upon the bench
and pass Judgment upon them. His
honor paused and the perspiration
started. Finally he mustered courage
to say, in his most authoritative way,
"Who's there?"
"Only u.s." was the feminine response.
With his rifle barrel he pushed the
door aside and confronted his Oldest
daughters best young man, who stood
with an enormous watermelon in his
hand. Behind came the judges lovely
daughter with bowl Of cracked ice.
Evelyn and her schoolmam, who is
visiting her. had been to the theater
with their gentlemen escorts. The
night was warm and all had agreed
that glass of lemonade and piece of
watermelon would be refreshing.
Evelyns best young man was therefore
pressed into service to chip the ice and
assist in extending the hospitalities of
the house.
His honor, wearing an embroidered
night shirt and trousers, without vest,
coat or stockings, at the sight of the
melon, hastily stocked his arms, and
the young folks agree that the way he
conducted himself with regard to their
lunch would have made culled pa'son
envious. Chicago Inter Ocean,

DESTRUCTION OF ANIMAL LIFE.
The California Walrus and the Manatee
Conc.

The California Walrus and the Manatee
Gone.
1t recently occurred to certain persons
interested in natural history that moth
ing had been heard lately of the Cali
fornia Walrus, huge and harmless
beast which was recently quite COM
mon on the coast of lower California.
1t could hardly be supposed that herds
of creatures fourteen to sixteen feet
long and of equal or even greater girth
could disapp ear from the coast without
Icing missed but such appears to have
been the case, for when the Laura in
1884 visited all their old haunts in the
autumn, not one could be found, and
the party had to be contented with talk
ing a number of their skins from San
Cristobal to the National museum at
Washington. But the California Wal
rus has enjoyed century longer of ex-
istence than another member of the
Proteus' flock, whose remains the
United States naturalis is have been
anxiously seeking, The rytinos, or
arctic sea COWS, were literally and in
fact all eaten up by hungry sailors in
fourteen years.
Behring'S explorers in 1854 discovered
an enormous kind of manatee, similar
in character and habits to those which
live in the tepid waters of the Amazons
or off the coast OF the Straits settle
ments, but of immense size, from
twenty to thirty feet long and twenty
feet in girth. They were stupid, harm
less beasts, which lived by browsing on
the seashore. The ponderous "sea
cows were far better meat, than the
fish-eating seals, and furnished the
main food of the parties of explorers
who visited Copper island, their favor
ite haunt for the next twelve years,
when they became so scarce that other
provisions had to be sought, and in 1868
the last sea COW was killed.
Mr.. Lucas gives an interesting ac-
count of an expedition conducted by
DR.. Styneger in search of their remains.
Several isolated bones were found by
prodding in the sand along the shore,
and at last a great discovery was made
inland Conceive my agitation, y wrote
the enthusiastic doctor, ''when toward
noon it was reported to me that the en-
tire skeleton of a sea COW had been
foundN' The report was true, but the
bones were too soft to be removed. But
enough sound ones were found to put
together a complete skeleton, besides
others which, like Mr. Silas Weggs leg.

F. K. Sehoonmaker of New Jersey,
in recent speech at Hartford, said that
s'the free trade ideas prevalent among
educated men were derived from English
literature. He claimed that English lit
erature was largely corrupt from having
mercenary motives. Adam Smiths
Wealth of Nations and the writings of
John Stuart Mill were instanced as show
ing the corruption of English literature
with their business done on Christian
Us.sfs. Tho 1frioar of Taheneiu,' he SAID,
contains the greatest defense extant of
the institution of monarchy, written by
Goldsmith to catch the favor of the crown
and obtain a government pension. Our
collegians are turned out free traders be-
cause they are fed on this corrupt litera-
ture. I was the rankest free trader in
the world when graduated from college.

THE Springfield Republican says that
American made bicycles can be bought In
England at lower price than in America,
and credits the difference to the tariff.
Establish free trade and the American
workingman can buy his wheel as cheaply
as can the Englishman. Granting that
it is true and that American bicycle MAX
ers meet competitors on foreign soil with
a reduction of the rates as given to home
customers; can't the Republican find
nearer home cause in behalf of which it
needs to grind up it's lance? Springfield
merchants often advertise to remit amount
of car fare of out of town customers, who
come to their store to trade, giving in
this way from to 90 per cent discount
on their goods to those who come in from
other towns to buy of them. What tariff
iugglery enables them to do this? Is it
the Mckinley bill that compels Spring
field man to pay more for suit of clothes
to a Springfield dealer than is demanded
from Stafford customer? Poor McKin-
ley bill it grinds the manufacturer by
making his wool cost more; it grinds the
sheep owner by making low price for
the wool he has to sell! 1t is alike re-
sponsible to the seller for the low prices
he gets and to the buyer for the high
prices he must pay!
