A Difficult Witness.

The character of the old Illinois courts
was very primitive. In one case livery
stable horse had died soon after being re-
turned. and the person who had hired it
was sued for damages. The question
turned largely upon the reputation of the
defendant as hard rider. A witness was
called--a long lank Westerner.
''HOw does Mr.. So and So usually ride?"
asked the lawyer.
Without CLEAN of intelligence the wit
ness replied:
"A straddle. SIR"

he usually walk or trOt or gallop."
''Wal," said the witness. apparently
searching in the depths of his memory for
facts, when he rides walkin' horse he

trOts. and when he rides gallOpin' horse

The lawyer was angry. 81 want to know

Latest Fashions in Jewels for Girls who

Latest Fashions in Jewels for Girls Who
Can Afford Them.
Well, crescents and triple crescents,
are quite popular, but the marquise
takes the lead at present. The hoop or
gypsy ring has long been the favorite
among Englishwomen, and their Amer
lean sisters are adopting it. Sometimes
as many as four of these rings adorn
one slender finger. The usual combina-
ton, however, is sapphire, diamond,
and ruby, or for young girls the choice
is pearl and turquoise.
Recently there has been craze for
so-called "pinkie" rings for the little
finger Every woman who has any
pretension to fashion in jewclry wears
one or more of them. Friendship"
rings are popular because they may be
presented with propriety by young
man to n young woman without any
reference to an engagement between
them. Seal rings, so much in vogue a
few years back, are not worn nowadays
by those who follow the DEGREES OF
style. Neither are bangle rings any
longer worn, except by schoolgirls.
In the fancy jewels there are the
spinel, cat's-eye and pearls, some of the
latter weighing ninety grains. We
have seen for several brides pearl
necklaces, with stringG holding seventy
pearls, each one worth from 6fty 10 .

Wonderful Little Light Glvers of the In
sect World.
Firetlies have been put and are even
to this day applied to some curious
uses. In San Domingo and other West
India islands they are employed for
lighting purposes, being confined in Ian
terms, both for going about the country
at night and illumination of dwellings.
BY attaching one of them to each foot
while travelling in the darkness they
serve as guide tc the path. They are
also utilized in Cuba and elsewhere for
ornaments, wherewith the gowns and
coiffures of ladies are adorned on festive
occasions. One can read by the light
which a few of these insects give One
point that may be urged in behalf of
these irefiics is that they kill mosqui-
toes, finding in the latter their favorite
prey
The ancients were probably unac-
quainted with the species of firehies
which are so familiar to the country,
because the most remarkable of these
are peculiar to America. The great
lantern-fiies of southern Europe and
Asia, which are sometimes called fly
ing glow-worms, are allied to the boat
flies. and water scorpions. On the other
hand, the tireflies of the tropics are
beetles The latter are of somber hue
in the daytime, and it is only at nights
that they show their lights.
The English glow-worm is the wing
less female of a winged beetle. Some
suppose that the light she bears is be-
slowed for her protection to scare away
the nightingale and other nocturnal
birds. Others, however, believe that
the gift of brightness is the very
lure by which her foes are as
sisted to discover and devour her.
Much speculation has been INDUCED in
as to the nature of the glow-worm's
light, which is not put out by water
nor seemingly capable of giving forth
any heat. 1t has been asserted that the
light-ditfusing substance contained
phosphorus, but this has never been
proved. Certainly it is incapable of
communicating ignition to anything.
Least attractive among the insects
which give light are the so-called "elec-
trio centipcdes' black crawlers with
many legs, which have been likened to
serpents' skeletons in miniature. They
move in snakelille fashion, forward or
backward, leaving behind them bright
track of phosphoric light However,
they are most accustomed to appear in
the daytime when the illumination
they afford is not Observation-Disclosures
