CAMEO CARVING A NEW wHlM.
How Fashionable Women Cut the Deli

How Fashionable Women Cut the Deli
cate Shells.
The latest within is nothing more
nor less than cameo carving, according
to the New York Recorder Many a
dainty boudoir has little table in one
corner where ''gravers," ''scoopers, y
and various other mysterious instru-
ments of the craft are kept.
"How do they manage it and do
they make real cameos?" some one
asks. 0, yes, they are real and they
are pretty. The shells used for the
purpose are "black helmets brought
from the West Indies. There are also
red and yellow helmets found on the
coast of China.
The shell is cut with little gravers
and scoopers, and half a dozen of these,
of various sizes and degrees of fine
ness, are all that are needed. When
the cameo is cut the process of polish
ing begins, and this requires patience
and still more patience.
First, the groundwork is polished by
rubbing it with pumice stone and wa
ter; this takes out the scratches made.
The shell is then washed with warm
water. The second polishing is done
with pumice dust and oil and with
small lockwood stick. 1t is again
washed The third and-last polishing
is given with fine rotten stone and
sulphuric acid. A very high degree of
polish is thus obtained, and, after be-
ing once more washed, the work is
done. The shells cost from two to
1--WE dollars each. From good shell

He Didn't Sing.

At recent social event in the coun.
try there was present dignifed and
very slender young man from town
who, it was easy to see, had very good
opinion of himself. A not altogether
fattering reputation, acquired by his
alleged tenor voice, had preceded him
to the back woods, and soon after his
arrival he was surrounded by bevy of
mischievous rustic maidens, who beeged
him for song. Like many young sing
ers he needed much persuasion. While

young man. know you kin sing
you've got legs SO much like a mawkin'

A JAvANEsE TIGER FIGHT.
An Entertainment That Is Dangerous to
Spectators

| Spectators.
| An English traveller in Java who saw
one of the tiger fights peculiar to the
island thus describes the strange sport
"The tiger is set down in a trap in the
center of the Alienation, or great
square and is surrounded by triple or
quadruple line of spearsmen, about a
hundred yards distant from him.
when all is ready Javanese adj
vances at avery slow pace, to the sound
of soft music, and sets fire to the trap.
at the same time opening the door at
the back part of the cage, which, by
the way, is too narrow for the tiger to
turn in.
'As the fire begins to SINCE his whisk-
ers, he gradually backs out. The man.
as soon as he has opened the door, be-
gins walking toward the crowd at a
slow pace, and, the slower he is, the
more applause does he gain.
1.-THE tiger, meanwhile, having
backed out of his burning prison, is
rather astonished at finding himself
surrounded by hundreds of people, each
pointing spear at him.
ST be is bold tiger he canters round
the circle, almost touching the spears;
finding no opening, then he returns to
the center, fixes his eye on one spot,
and with loud roar dashes straight at
It.
He is received on the spears, and,
Tough he brushes many as if they were
mere reeds, in half a minute he falls

In some instances, however, the roar
Ind charge are too much for the Javan-
Sc, and they give way. The sport then
becomes rather dangerous to specta-
ors. "-Youth's Companion.

fit.
Away back in the month of Novem-
Der, in the year 1864, before the war
was over, was serving on the good
ship Metacomet. We had been moving
southwark into the Campeachy banks,
where red snappers abounded by the
million. The schools of these fishes
were often miles in length, and with
hook and line we stood at the boats
side all day catching them by the hun
dred, using only large chunks of pork
for bait. No sooner would the bait
strike the water than the big fish
would swallow it, only the next mo-
ment to be landed on the deck The
heads were cut off and the fish packed
in barrels. We filed on an average of
thirty barrels day. The heads were
then thrown back into the water, and
this naturally drew sharks. One day
the boats'n, Billy Wilson, was told to
make big hook with which to capture
shark. 1t was fastened to the lead
line and baited with six-pound chunk
of pork. Far out in the water it was
thrown for the shark to swallow, and,
sure enough, in a moment the line be-
gan running out at a speed that soon
required the application of water to
save it from scorching. When it came
to a sudden stop Wilson and Gill, the
sailmaker, began to tire out the fish by
taking in the line At last, when It
was within ten feet of the vessel, vol

TO SUPPLY GOLD.
Secretary Foster Said to Have Contracted
with Eastern Bankers.

Secretary Foster Said to Have Contracted
with Eastern Bankers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Secretary of
the Treasury Foster is said to have
placed his signature to a contract with
the banking house of Drexel, Morgan
& Co. of New York by which the bankrs
agree to advance gold to the amount
of So, 600, 600 in exchange for new
issue of per cent. bonds if the treas
ury gold supply touches the zero point.
This comes from an authority very
near to President Harrison. Mr.. Foster
will say nothing further than to repeat
the hope that the emergency may not
arise to compel him to issue bonds. 1t
is known positively, however, that the
bonds are printed and every ar
rangement has been made to is
sue them on short notice if the
emergency arises. 1t is understood
that they will be placed in bulk
with Drexel, Morgan & Co., and
that this firm will in turn distribute
them to other buyers The bankers
will not act as agents of the govern
ment, however, but will at once adj
vance the full $4,000, 600 in gold to
meet the needs of the treasury if It is
pushed beyond the danger point.

ST.. PAUL, Feb. 27.-An explosion IN

at Fifth and Bosabel streets. yesterday,
called out the entire fire department,
four members of which were badly in
jured while fighting the flames. Two
of them were at first thought to be IA
tally injured. and the rumor that one
fir IN; was killed spread rapidly
TIL ough the city and attracted multi
tude ol visitors to the scene of the fire
during the day. The rumor was un-
founded, however. and it was reported
from st. Joseph's hospital last night
that all the injured were doing we'll.
they are as follows:
Felix O'Neill, lieutenant engine com

to have sustained injury to spine.
John w. Cowan, No. 2 HOOK and lad

be injured
Gilbert II. Gillian. fireman No. en-

E. L. Helm, lieutenant engine COM
pany No. 3, sprained ankle.
All of these men were on a ladder at
the front of the building, from which
several streams were playing. The heat
was intense and the ladder became SO
hot that the men actually could not hold
ON, and before they could get down had
fallen.
Cowan was overcome by the com ined
effect of the heat and the smoke, which

a NARROW ESCAPE.

John w. Mackay, the California bonanza
King, Shot by an Insane Man.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25.-John w.
Mackay, the famous Bonanza million
aire and president of the Postal Tel
egraph company, lies in bed at the
Palace hotel with a bullet hole in his
back just below the shoulder blade.
w. c. Rippey, the man who shot him,
is at the receiving hospital with bull
let wound in his chest, self-inficted
and probably mortal 1t was case OF
attempted assassination. The intended
victim will surely recover and the
shooter will almost as surely de.
There is only one conclusion as to
the motive, and that is that Rippey
was practically insane through losses
in mines and mining stocks, and that
his mania, assuming the homicidal
form, was directed against John Mackay
as the author of his misfortunes
AS far as can now be learned
Mackay did not know Rippey, and, in
fact, the two men had never met 1t
was simply a bit of marvellous luck
that saved the millionaire from death
or injury that would have made him
cripple for life.
Mackay is the richest man on the coast
His fortune is variously estimated at
$50, 900. 600 to $50, 900. coo. Mrs. Mackay,
his wife, is famous all over Europe in i.
social way and on account of the royal
manner in which she entertains.
