The End of Mrs. stanford,s Jewels.

As is well known. by no means the least valuable possession of Mrs. Leland Stanford are her magnificent jewels. One Thursday last winter, as she Ire ceived' her weekly guests, all eyes were drawn to superb parure of rubies and diamonds worn with gown of delicate gray. The ruby in the brooch was as large as a pigeons egg. After many of the visitors had gone Mrs. Stanford took occasion to say to an intimate friend: Do you know these are the first jewels that my husband gave me when he first began to think himself rich man, and this is the first time that l have ever worn them. The other day, when l was dressing, he said, It seems to me you do not care much for my first gift, so l have put them on at the earliest oppor- tunity. Colored stones cannot be worn with every gown"
 In some further talk the friend alluded to Mrs. Stanford's celebrated set of dia- monds that once belonged to the queen of Portugal, and their present owner ob- served: Almost all my jewels are his toric. They will bring their price, and their destiny is decided, so that which ever of us survives, the other will see it carried out They will be sold. and the proceeds will go to the orphans home in San Francisco.

Praise For American Women.

The usual cry reaches us from across the other side of the channel. English women who can dress smartly enough at home are wearing out their old clothes, and, worse than that, allowing themselves to look absolutely untidy at continental watering places. Atrailroad stations they appear gloveless, with ha- , and veils aw-'y, and their boots old and dusty. Never does it so behoove wom- an to look neat as when travelling, and more particularly en evidence. An Amer ican can be spotted in moment, wheth- CT in a railway carriage or on board a steamer. AS a rule, she eschews the sailor hat when en voyage. Instead, she wears trim smart ''boat" shape of waterproof felt, with waterproof rib bons, and bristling with wings stuck in by cunning hand. Her gauge veil is always fresh and immaculate, her gloves easy fitting, but well cut and newly bought Her skirt never drag gles. No buttons are off her boots. Would that English women would fol- low our American cousins example in this.-London Gentlewoman.

M OLD OCEANS DEPTHS.
Lanterns That Are Borne About to Light Up the Darkness.

yfnc Lanterns That Are Borne About to
 Light Up the Darkness. Away down in the dark depths of the can there are living lanterns that are rne about to light up the darkness. A Ieer fish called the midshipmite carries z brightest and most striking of all sse sea torches.
 Along it's back, under it and at the Ise of it's fins there are small disks that ow with clear phosphorescent light ;s rows of shining buttons on the 35sag lniddy's unifornl-in this way it 'ss its name, midshiprnite, by which .nng sailorsin the navy are often called. These disks are exactly like small 45lseye lanterns with regular lenses s$ 9ehectors.
 Tbe lenses gather the rays, and the re- sesors throw them out again. There
 a layer of phosphorescent cells between X tTo, and the entire effect is as per ct AS if made by some skillful optician. Many other fish have f'refectors, 8 ss1v have lenses, . but the .midship- 5fea is the only kind that has such slendid specimens of both.
 The fish is so constructed that when it
 frightened by some devouring sea onster it can close it's lenses and hide self in the darkness. It can turn it's ntern off and on at will, and then it IS ways filled" and ready when wanted.
 Another marine animal las a luminous ulb that hangs from its chin, and thus rows the light before it to warn it of ,e approach of enemies. Still another pholds big light from the extremity the dorsal fin. Others, again, have 5nstant supplies of luminous oil that ms down their sides from the fins, mak- lQ bright and constant light all sound them.
 Most of the jellyfsh are phosphor- rent. These live far down on the very Dor of the ocean, where it is always 1fk and gloomy. The dwellers in these asery depths are provided with lights

Fashionable Flower Baskets.

For decorating dinner tables, fiat bas' kets are used. High flower structures are entirely out of fashion. The baskets are of mixed straw, low and square cor. nered, fitted of course with a pan inside with Q square handle tied with satin rib. bon. The flowers are arranged to make a flat bed and are usually of one kind and color, but baskets of roses are of mixed colors. Flower baskets are the rage in Paris for decorating rooms and for gifts among friends. Nothing is prettier than one of these flat baskets filled with bed of forgetmenots, which have been brought into vogue by their color, and tied with big bow of green. There are also deep baskets standing some feet or more high, in which are arranged huge bouquets made of long branches of lilacs, roses, violet hued rho dodendrons 1T even a growing plant or azalea. These high baskets are without handles, of fiat, plaited rushes stained in green and brown tones and have great satin bows on them. They set on the floor or oa a corner pedestal and are charming, with a simplicity that yet saves itself from affectation. House Furnishing Review.

Nutmeg Culture in Grenada.

Nutmeg is becoming a source of much
profit to many islands in the West In
dies, and especially in Grenada. For
many years the nutmeg tree has been
grown;!it is only recently that its culti-
vation has received serious attention
To start nutmeg plantation the
ground must be cleared at cost OF
six pounds per acre. Saman trees
should then be planted, forty-fve feet
apart. Meanwhile, the nutmeg seeds
should be carefully reared in the nurs-
cry. In about two years the seedlings
should be planted out. Unless the
locality is very favorable, ten years
must elapse before the trees begin to
be productive. A large number will
be of the male sex, and, as the proper
tion of male to female trees should not
exceed one in thirty. the planter viii
have to cut down the trees freely as
soon as their sex is DECEASED. 1t Is
reckoned that nutmegs should yield an
annual profit to the planter of about
ten shillings per tree.-Lord Brassey,

this is clearly fallacy, like many other
popular notions about the animal
world. The tiger is an excellent swim
mer, as many have 10 und to their cost;
and so the cat, another member OF the
tiger family, can swim equally well if
it has any occasion to exercise its
powers. either in quest of prey or to ef-
feet its escape from some enemy.
AS cats are exceedingly fond of fish.
they will often drag them alive out of
their native element whenever they
get the chance.
They have even been known to help
themselves out of aquaria that have
been left uncovered, and on moonlight
nights they may be seen watching for
the unwary occupants Of fish pond,
during the spawning season especially.
Again, a cat will take the water in
pursuit of rata fact that was proved
by friend of mine few years ago.
On one occasion, being accompanied
by one of his pets, a rat was started,

to the Governor General

The new governor general of Can

by the countess, is expected to arrive
at Ottawa shortly and all Canada is
deeply interested in giving them fit
ting reception. They will land at
| Quebec or Halifax and, according to
| the programme already decided upon,
will be met at the pier by a committee
of the Canadian parliament, headed by
the speaker of the senate, and formal
| ly welcomed and escorted to the capi-
| tai city. The latter place will witness
| the installation, which this year is to
be accompanied by a military turnout,
although one of no large proportions,
and by a gathering Of Canada's most
distinguished political and social lead
ers.
The newly-knighted chief justice,
Sir Samuel Henry Strong, will admin
lister the oath in the throne-room.
Then the governor general will deliver
an address from the queen, after which
the senators, preceded by the usher of
the black rod, will file through the
wide portico of the parliament build
ings, ascend the escarlet-carpeted stairs,
and, the gentleman usher having made
three profound obeisances, the speak
er of the senate viii read an address of
welcome.

and unmakes cabinets in Canada, pro-
