Where Earrings Go.

People often wonder where all the
earrings 60 or have gone to. A few
years ago the fashion of wearing these
relics of barbarism was quite general,
but now it is the exception, and not the
rule, to see well-dressed lady with a
pair. Indeed, the ornaments have been
left off so long that scores of ladies
who used to wear them could hardly
do SO now without inconvenience and
pain. But the pretty toys or gems
haye not been thrown away or wasted;
thousands have been worked up into
other and more fashionable ornaments.
Many very handsome brooches have
been made out of earrings which have
outlived the fashion, and there has been
quite large amount of ingenuity dis
played in the work so as to do away
with any suspicion Of secondhand in
the reconstructed adornments. More
than one pair has been made up into
sleeve buttons and presented to mem.
Der of the sterner sex, and others have
been fitted with pins and used by their
fair owners as hat or hair pins. The
best judges in these matters doubt
whether earrings, as such, will ever be-
come popular again, and it is very un.
usual for young ladies nowadays to have
their ears pierced at all.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat

The Age of Animals.

A butterfly lives only few weeks, a
crow may live more than century,
and swans are said to live sometimes
over three hundred years. An eminent
naturalist tells of falcon that was one
hundred and sixty-two years old. A
white-headed vulture, caught in 1706,
died in 1926, in the aviary of the pal
ace of Schonbrunn, near Vienna, where
it had been in captivity one hun bred
and eight years.
Again, parrots and ravens think
nothing of tumbling about the world
for hundred years or more, and some
of the birds and waterfowl outlive
several generations of human beings.
10 come down to some of the birds
with which we are we'll acquainted. the
ordinary cock, unless he has his head
cut off by cook or her confederates,
lives from twenty to twenty five years !;
a pigeon, save when it vanishes into q
piedish, lives for about ten years. A
nightingale, in captivity. may live ten
years, and thrush fifteen but when
they are free, they live much longer.
OF quadrupeds the elephant lives
longer than any of his friends and
brethren ; he may reach the age of four
hundred years. And, you will think.
he looks as if he was made to last a
good while. A camel is old at forty, a
lion and bear at twenty. As for the
whale, it disports itself in the sea for
some three hundred years and no tor
toise is considered to have attained a
ripe old age before it is at least ninety
wears old,

KinRS at Table.

The delicacies upon the tables of the
crowned heads of Europe have always
exercised a potent charm upon the i'm
aginations of those who have never sat
at their sides. But the pictures of the
tleshpots of Egypt conjured up by the
fancy often widely differ from the reali,
ty. Simplicity reigns at many courts
Among all the European rulers, says
German exchange, the table of the
Emperor of Austria, although he him.
self is extremely temperate in eating
and drinking, is the richest and best
served.
King Humbert Of Italy, however,
might almost be called vegetarian, as
he lives almost entirely upon frnit and
vegetables. Hs drinks only Bordeaux
wine mixed with water.
The most temperate of all earth's
potentates is Pope Leo XIII. His
breakfast, which he eats after mass,
consists of coffee and milk alone. AT
noon he eats two eggs and piece of
chicken, as rule, and some fruit He
drinks at the same time glass of Bor-
deau1. On fast days fish and mac
caroni are substituted for chicken.
From dinner till bed time the pope
takes no nourishment with the excep-
ton of a bit of bread soaked in milk.
A better eater is the Emperor of Rus
STA. Even at breakfast, tea, eggs, ham
and beef must be placed on his table.
At luncheon, which is eaten at eleven
o'clock, the car takes boullion with
egg, mutton chops and cold game. At
this meal he drinks three cups of strong
coffee. At two o'clock he eats dish
of milk and rice. Dinner is served at
six o'clock. 1t is a hearty meal, after
the French pattern. Before going to
bed he stills the pangs of hunger with
tea and coffee.
Queen Victoria prefers Scotch dishes,
and the Queen regent of Spain remains
true to the Austrian cooking, being
very fond of Vienna bread.
Emperor William II. is heavy eater.
He prefers nourishing dishes, however,
to the refined examples of the cooks
art. After the morning bath he is
served with an English breakfast of
tea, bread, eggs in some form, cotel-
lette, beefsteak, and SO forth. His
lunch, usually eaten alone, is also rich.
He takes at this time soup, meat, vege-
tables, roast and sweets. Dinner is
served at five o'clock. At this meal
the empress and chance guests help
the emperor in Willing away the time.
1t does not usually consist of more
dishes than the other meals, but great
care is taken in selecting them. The
empress often makes up the bill of fare
herself, and tries to choose the favorite
dishes of her. husband. If the emperor
has taken much exercise during the
day light meal is eaten late at night.
Tea and cold meats at least are always
ready. His majesty is extremely fond
of "bowle." or punch, seldom taking
beer. His favorite wines are Moselle
and Rhine wines.

WIGS FOR BALD-HEADED YOUTHS.

Hair Patches That Are Expensive, but
That Can Not he Detected.
There are more bald headed young
men in our leading social circles" said
the supplier of hirsute DEFICIENCIES to q
Washington Herald scribe, than people
would think. But that is because very
little of it is revealed to the curious
glance.
You see, most of the young men
grow bald Immediately above the fore.
head, which leaves triangular space,
OF on the centre OF the head.
The first place is very easily con-
cealed by patch, which looks as nat
ural as the real thing. These patches
are readily adjusted and may be brushed
in any style. They are rather expen-
sive, though-that is, if a man desires
something which will completely battle
the attempts of the suspicious at detec-
tion-aud cost all the way from $50 to
$3.50, according to the size and finish.
Il could name twenty men who sport
these patches, and whose hair is.univer-
sally admired by the fair sex, but of
course wouldn't.
Concerning that particular spot on
top of the head in which the hair is
especially fleeting, any number of men
whose ages range between twenty five
and forty are so decorated. They do
not come so high as the first named
prices, but are just as easily adjusted
and present the same impenetrable
finish. There are not many of the
complete wigs sold, like there were
fifteen or twenty years ago. In fact, it
is hard to get wig which does not give
itself away, and this is worse than thin
hair or badness.
What is the color mostly in vogue
concerning wigs? Why, 1 guess dark
brown is most popular. Most men have
that color of hair. Black haired and
extremely ight-haired men seldom be-
come bald at an early age when they
do, it is generally on the centre of the
head"

Changes in Words.

When a woman Is described as
buxom, We naturally think Of her as
fair, plump and good-natured. We do
not usually apply the term to thin
woman, or to young girl, or to an old
woman. Assuredly we should never
think of calling man or boy buxom.
The word, however. once really meant
pliable, or flexible, and afterward
obedient. The word queen originally
meant simply woman, but DOW desig-
mates the most glittering place which
the earth can bestow, while with the
slightly different spelling of "quean" it
stands for woman of different sort
so, too, "knave' at the start meant
only boy, as in the German form
"Knabe," but as boys 60 wrong some.
times the word in time obtained an un.
pleasant meaning. The word imp
might have been added as having had
very much the same history as "knave,
for meaning, first, scion or shoot. it
next stood for q child, and now il
means an inferior devil.

A Heap of Trouble,

1t was ct cabin in the Cumberland
mountains, and when L asked the boy
for basin of water in the morning he
invited me out into the yard where
there was trough full of water and a
piece of coffee sack stuff hanging to a
post for towel. The boy, whose face
hadn't been washed for a month, and
whose tow hair hadn't been combed for
a year, watched my proceedings with
interest. When began to comb my
hair with pocket comb he felt com.
pelled to talk.
DO yer wash yer face every day."
he inquired curiously.
Usually, Il replied with smile. -
AN comb yer hairP"
Yes"
Every day9' he repeated.
Yes, every day."
1t was too much for him, and he was
silent for moment.
WELL" he said at last, don't yer
think yer heap NV trouble to yerself?'
That time it was too much for me,
and 1 gave him dime and told him to
go off and have picnic.

Fine Bedsteads.

One of the handsomest bedsteads on
record was made in Paris for an Indian
prince, who paid thousands of dollars
for it. 1t was constructed partly of
silver, with large female figures at each
corner. each holding delicate looking
fan. The weight Of the sleeper's body
sets certain machinery in motion which
causes the figures to keep the fans
gently in motion-an ingenious luxury
in a hot climate. By touching spring
a large musical box is made to give
forth soft music as further incentive
to slumber. Another bedstead made
of silver is said to have been occupied
by the German emperor during his
visit to the sultan. II had oriental
curtains Of surprising richness, heavily
embroidered with gold. .,

Men Who Have Risen and Fallen In the
Whirl of Speculation.


The first Wall-street King was Jacob
Little, who ruled the stock market at
time when Jay Gould was schoolboy
and when William H. Vanderbilt was
clerk in Daniel Drew's brokerage office.
Little was then reputed to make $780,
600 year, which was considered an
immense income. He was bold oper-
ator, but ended in failure and died
poor Among the spectators who
appeared in the exchange when Little
passed away, were Addison G.. Jerome
and his brother Leonard, both of whom
made money rapidly during the infa-
ton, but lost it with almost equal ra-
pidity and eventually became poor
men. LIE Grand Lockwood was also a
bold operator, who became rich enough
to build palace and pay $4,000 for
Bierstadt's picture of the Yosemite
Valley, but he, too, failed and the
palace soon passed into other hands.
Daniel Drew was one of the big men
in Wall street when Gould made his
debut there. He was power in Erie,
but could not hold against other giants

in this manner "old Dannell' lost every
thing. Henry N. Smith and William
Heath were also prominent contempt
raries with Gould and both became rich.
but their wealth went as it came and
they died poor. Heath was imprisoned
in Ludlow-street Jail, whence he was
only liberated in time to die in decent
dwelling.
Commodore Garrison was also one of
the Wall-street giants of that day, but
he felt the keen edge of misfortune.
Anthony Morse was meteor of splen-
did success and for at least one season
was the wonder of Wall street, but he,
too, failed miserably and died before
life had passed its noon. John n.
Tobin was another Wall-street magnate,
and was at one time President of the
Hudson River Railroad, but he, too,
failed and died poor. William X.
Travers, Augustus Schell, Horace +.
Clark and Harvey Kennedy were prom
inent Wall-street men during Goulds
regime, but they all preceded him to
the grave. In fact, Gould was one of
the last Of that distinguished crowd of
operators who made Wall street famous,
and now that they are gone it is evident
that we shall not see their like again.
