FASHIONS IN JEWELRY.
Ornaments Now Considered in Good Taste
to Wear.

Ornaments Now Considered in Good Taste
to Wear.
An interrogation point is the design
OF new stick pin.
Women are beginning to show a fond
ness for knotted rings.
Tiny vases of glass mounted in f. gree
of silver gilt are introduced.
Large, dull red vases ornamented to
look like Indian lacquer are used as
lamps.
A pea blossom in dead gold beautifully
modelled is a 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 filigree 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
Gilt combs and all back combs are
scarcely now more than large hairpins.
The small bonnets worn make large
combs out of the question.
The use of gilt in costumes has
obliged lavish use of gilt in its access
series. 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 a reputa-
ton as connoisseur.
Stickpins are conforming to the ne
cessity of cheapness and beauty. The
richest of these are the twisted knots
with 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 stickpins with rhine
stones showing on mounting are in
lavish profusion, rhinestQnes are in fact
having 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 a tinv
diamond in the center. This is scarce
ly more than glimmer of light but it
is very effective and does not add great
ly to the expense. In speaking of these
it must be understood that they are on
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

get fair prices for the cassava which
they produce and sell to the Venezue-
lans. Cassava is an important food of
the poorer classes all through
Venezuela, being ground by ma
chimes in factories. Among the curl
osities which 1 obtained from
these savages for exhibition at the
worlds fair at Chicago are number of
interesting musical instruments, such
as reed flutes and drums made out of a
kind of corkwood. l intended to speak
OF the remarkable pattern in which the
beadwork of the loin cloths is always
made. This pattern. as you will OBJ
serve, is in geometric form peculiarly
Greek, and the mystery is where these
people got it from. Not least strange
is the fact that the cassava graters are
always made with the sharp pieces of
flint arranged in precisely the same de-
sign, which doubtless had some original
significance long lost even to trad ition."

CLIMATIC CHANGES.
The Transformation Wrought by Time In
Our Earth.

The changes of terrestrial climate
have been many and various Myrtles
and tree ferns once fiourished in Green
land; coral insects built on the shores
of Melville island: nautiluses sailed
over what must then have been the
tepid seas about Spitzbergen. But
with the lapse of ages the scene
changed. and worse than arctic rigors
spread into regions now enjoying tenn
perate climate. Possibly not for the
first time. The Permian was certainly
an inclement age, and its inclemencv
seems even to have reached the point of
glaciation in the west of England and
Ireland, yet it was preceded and sue
ceeded by long prevalence of tropical
condition. These aSsuredlv reigned
without interruption, in north temper
ate and polar regions throughout the
vast expanse of Tertiary time Palms
and cycads then sprang up in the room
of oaks and beeches in England: tur-
ties and crocodiles haunted English
rivers and estuarics; lions, elephants
and hyenas roamed al large over En-
glish dry land.
In Switzerland "A mean temperature
equal to that Of North Africa AT the
present time is shown by its fossil flora
to have prevailed during the Miocene or
Middle Tertiary epoch. Anthropoid
apes lived in Germany and France: fig
and cinnamon trees flourished at Dant-

grees of latitude, magnolias bloomed
and vines ripened their fruit, while in
Spitzbergen and even in Grinnell Land.

But the engagement from the first
preserved the some character which
had been seen in those which had pre-
coded it. The Spaniard's courage was
useless to them. Their ships could not
turn or sail; their guns were crushed
by the superior strength of the English
artillery; they We're outmatched in
practical skill. and, close as the Sims

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 supc-
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 but 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
airy. and after life of travel not I'M
like that of Sir Moses, died of ex-
haustion just seventy years younger

master 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 thew
are often also very dull, occasionally
almost imbecile. The rich. according
to modern theories, ought to possess
the highest vitality; but, as matter of
fact, it belongs, taking all the world,
to negroes who We're 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 favora BILE to it,
probably by conserving the pumping
power of the heart and that it is in a
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

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.

He got on the car at Green street and
sat down opposite stout woman in a
long plush cloak. He looked at her a
few minutes and then he nodded. She
modestly gazed another direction for
while, and whe,> she turned her head

friendly nod. She blus. ed little then

her eyes presently he bObDed his head
forward again.
When he did it the fourth time the
passengers all commenced to smile, and
an angry CLEAN appeared in her blue
eyes. Had he been wise, he would have
let we'll enough alone, but he wasn't, so
lie ventured on the fifth, and even the
sixth, sign of recognition. By that time
the CLEAN in her eyes had increased
ten-fold in intensity, and, arising from
the seat, she stood before him. The car
jolted and rocked from side to side, but
the power of her anger upheld her, and
she stood firm as mountain.
''Sir'' she exclaimed, what do you
mean by nodding at me So often?"
''l-l-beg your pardon, madam"

want to know why you nodded"

once more at her indignant ladyship,

"FOr mince meat round of beef or a
lean piece of the shoulder is the best.
The suet to be used should be taken
from the kidney. After the beef has
been boiled. it should be chopped with
the suet as finely as possible. Peel and
core a sufficient number of good cook

thus prepared for shopping. Mince
these up with the meat and suet.
Then add three pounds of currants, a
pound of seedlesS raisins and two
pounds of stoned Malaga raisins, to-

each of cloves and cinnamon, one pound
of powdered sugar. half an ounce of
mace; half an ounce of grated nutmeg,
tablespoon of allspice, liberal tea

one pint of French brandy.
Stir the mincemeat thoroughly
after pouring on the brandy, put it on
the fire and heat it just to the boiling
point. Take it off the fire and pour it
into we'll covered earthen jar. Put it
into cool place, where it will constantly
be as near freezing as possible. Let it

A VITAL. ELECTION.
Lord Hartington's Seat Will Be
Bitterly Fought For.

S5odC w DC
Bitterly Fought For.
LONDON, Jan. mo bye-election dur
ing the existence of the present govern
ment has approached in interest and
vital Importance the coming contest for
the Rossendale seat, vacated by Lord
Harrington. Both parties. fully alive
to the fact that the loss of this
seat will be accepted throughout
the country as an almost decisive
test of the fate of the ministry in the
coming elections, will strain their re-
sources IN money and local influence
and be alert in the use of every known
electioneering art in order to compass a
triumph.
Lord Harrington held the seat partly
in family interest, partly on account of
personal popularity and partly as a
unionist. The vote will decide whether
the electorate, which is fairly repre-
sentative of the whole of Lancashire.
is on purely political grounds Gladston-
ian or dissident. The dissidents will
throw their full strength into the con-
test. Sir Thomas Brooke, the dissIdent
candidate, is Lord Hartington's own
choice. The Gladstonian candidate, Mr..
Melden, is young and fluent speaker,
almost an orator, with strong family
connections in the district.
Victor CavendiSh, who will succeed
to the duked0m of DevonShire if Lord
Harrington does not marry, and who
was recently elected without opposition
to the West Derby seat, vacated by the
death of his father, Lord Edward Cav
endish. was the first nominee for the
Rosendale seat, but his youth and the
danger of risking his present seat led to
the withdrawal of his name. The re-
port that the new duke Will now marry
the dowaeer duchess of Manchester is
discredited in his own circle. Intimate
friends hold that the duke will never
marry.
