Imitation .JeweIry In Paris.

The manufacture of imitation jewelry
in Paris dates from the reign Of Louis
XIV, the luxury Of dress both for Ia
dies and gentlemen at that epoch max
ing imperative the wearing Of an i'm
mense number Of trinkets. The coat
and dress buttons and the hat and shoe
buckles manufactured in false diamonds
during that reign and those of Louis XIV
and Louis XVI remain the most perfect
specimens of that kind of trinket in ex-
istence. The fine finish Of the settings
and the brilliancy of the stones leave
nothing to be desired, and very fortu-
nate is the Partisan belle who has inher-
tied from her ancestors any of these
beautiful and artistic ornaments.
Modern imitation jewelry is of an in
finite number of grades, beginning with
the ordinary stage trinkets, in unmistak-
able glass and gilt brass, made only with
view to effect and glitter behind the
footlights. Yet, though without any
claims to deception as regards their true
quality, they are often interesting as
being accurate reproductions of antique
or historic jewels. Such were the orna-
ments designed and executed for Nine.

give Meg Merrilies piece of money,
and did it after the traditional fashion
of handing her large purse full of coin
of the realm, in the shape of broken
crockery, which was generally used in
financial transactions on the stage. But
after the play Miss Cushman said to me:
Instead of giving me that purse, don't

A BALLOON ADVENTURE.
Setting on Fireworks mt an Altitude OF q
Thousand Yards.


Thousand Yards.
M. John Lemoinne, the French acad-
emician and publicist who died recently,
made a balloon ascension in his younger
| years which cured him of the taste OF
| aerostation. He was ut the time bach
elor, but in spite of his want of q family
had some one who looked after him care
| fully in the person of the concierge or
porter of the house which he occupied.
At the moment when the aeronaut gave
the word, "Let go ALL" from the balloon
at the Hippodrome, in Paris, Lemoinne,
who was the only person in the basket
| with the aeron2ut, called out to friend:
"Please go and tell my concierge, who's
very fond of me, that l shan't probably
sleep at home tonight. Just that-it's
all that will be necessary"
Up went the balloon. A height of
1000 yards was reached.
"Now," said the aeronaut, eve will set
off the fireworks"
"What?'
"Oh, I promised to set off some fire
works at this altitude, and as I can't
leave this cord I'll trouble you to touch
off the roman candles. And do it care
fully, for if one of the balls should strike
the balloon off she'd go like bombshell,
and that would be the last Of us. There
they are. Now touch them off,"
"Oh, yes. Certainly" said Lemoinne.
with his heart in his mouth"
The balloon was plunging this way
and that, and the great bag dipping
down irregularly. Lemoinne touched the
match to one of the roman candles,
which he held with q trembling hand.
Off it went-then another ball-fzz, pop
almost grazing the great plunging bag,
which he knew was filled with highly
inf1ammable gas.
Then bengal light was brought out,
placed on metal plate and set off. 1t
sputtered and famed, and little intense
patches of fire were thrown off from it
upon the osiers of the basket.
"Put those outr' screamed the aero
naut. "They'll set the basket ON firer'

putting out the sparks of fire. The ben
gal light sputtered on. A fierce breeze

tipped sidewise fearfully. The men in
it had to cling to its sides for their life.
The fire was scattered about, and some
ofthe osiers of the basket were seen to
be smoking. The thing was on fire.
Lemoinne had his choice of letting it
burn or falling 5000 feet to the earth.
If it blazed, and the fire was communi-
Gated to the bag, they would go to the
ground anyhow.
The aeronaut meanwhile was plying
the line which communicated with the
escape valve and was letting out the
gas with rush. Down went the balloon.
Nomore fireworks that day. The descent
was made rapidly and successfully, and
before long the ground was safely
reached.
"It was just in time," said Lemoinne,
in telling the story, "for the basket was
on fire in several places. If we had had
difficulty in descending my concierge
would have been waiting for me yet."-

The fact is his hands are more full now

dispense, aud up TO date there
and somewhere in the neighborhood of 100
applicants. He says they are all good men
and that is what bothers him in the selec
tions lac has to make. There is one thiDg
that he is mighty glad of, and thac is that
he was wise enough not 10 make aug
promises before the election. He is perfect
ly free in this and can make whatever
selections he pleases without disappoint-
ing anybody. The biggest fight, OF course,
is over the Office of under sheriff, for there
is usually good pay connected with that
office. IL will probably be given to some

the country voters for standing by him so
