Don't wear your rings under gloves
unless you remember to have them
thoroughly examined twice year" is
the advice given by a jeweler. The
constant friction wears out the tiny
gold points that holds the stones in
place, and unless strict attention is
paid to them they become loose in a
very short time. Small purses of suede
leather are made on purpose for rings,
or any soft pouch of skin or channels
may be used to place the rings in when
desiring to carry them around with
one. They should never be put into
the ordinary pocketbook, as the rub
bling against coins is also bad for them.
Diamonds can be cleaned at home to
look as well as when done by a jeweler
if only little trouble is taken They
should be thoroughly cleaned in alcohol
and then dried in lockwood sawdust.
Pine sawdust is too oily for this pur-

drapery which furnished the back

snowflake Swiss, through which the
palest of water-green silk CLEANED and
glistened. The drapery arrangement
was exceedingly simple, being almost
foldless in order to show to the best
advantage the knick-knacxs The silk
lined Swiss was simply stretched from
corner to corner above the white
enameled mantel, and caught in the
center with two of the German favors

Each corner was afutter with gayly-
tinted ribbons tipped with silver bells.
Fantastic clown heads, satin slippers,
ivory wishbones, silver horseshoes,
sweetmeat baskets, jockey caps and
whips, banjos, mandolins and violins
in miniature, along with dozen other
fancies, dotted the crisp white drapery.
Around even the tiniest of these favors

While ignorance and debased habits
multiply paupers, the great trouble is
that the unfortunate victims are not
helped to stand and walk, but are too
often struck down. The poor, the
week, the ignorant, should receive a
better protection from society than
those who are able to help themselves.
When through pressure Of poverty
men commit crime, society, if from no
higher motive than self-preservation,
should remove the pressure; the cry
for bread must be satisfied, il prisons
are to be done away with.

There is no more dangerous enemy OF

no personal vices divert from the

steadfast political depravity is veneered
with private virtues. Such persons
possess a special gift for falsifying the

 The Edward r. Mansfield.

No attempt has yet been made to raise the thrce-mastcd schoonerEdward r. Mansfield which was run into and sunk in Boston hnrbor Saturday night. The vessel was owned largely by Frank W. Benedict Of this city, and was built less than ten years ago in the yard of the late Captain Crossley. the father of Captain Crossley in Madison.
 Almost immediately after the collision the foremast of the Mansfield fell over with n crash. taking everything in the fore part of the vessel overheard. The Frank W. Howe. which collided with the Mansfield. was bound for Bruns- wick. Ga.
 At the time of the collision the watch and engineer George A. Ham, mond of Bridgeport. were both below in their hunks in the forecastle.
 The mast fell over on the roof of the Mansficld's deck house and crushed in the timbers and injured the boiler so badly that the pumps could not be used This made matters worse, for the vessel was leaking and was rapidly settling in the water. In the collision the Howe lost her port anchor from her bow and the heavy piece of iron fell over on the main deck of the Mans field with a crash, splitting the decks open. The head gear of the Howe laid on the Mansfield foredeck in a heap. All the wrSckage fell over the forward deckhouse and the engineer and those who were sleeping in the house had a narrow escape from being seriously in jured. The Howe was on the star board tack when the collision occurred, and the Mansfield was on the port.
 A boat was lowered from the Mans field, as the vessel was settling. First the captains wife was taken into the small boat, then the crew. Mate Lundt and Captain Crossley were the last to leave the vessel. The line from the small boat was made fast to the Howe and the crew from the Mansfield sat in their boat watching the vessel settle lower in the water. Finally the small boat was drawn alongside of the ring the Mansfield's people were taken on board the Howe. Hardly five min utes had elapsed after the Mansfield s people left the ship before the vessel went down port first, keeling over as she sank. A few minutes after the vessel reappeared at the surface and then again disappeared. settling to the bottom in water 1S0 feet deep.
