Fashion in Stone. tor J.v.,rv.

Fashion In stones for Jewelry.
Tie fashion in precious stones Is al.
most as varying Us that Of less durable
articles Of personal adornment, but
through oil changes the diamond stands
alone, Incompatible. Other stones that
have been brought into prominence to
meet the demand for variety are the
amethyst, the aqua marine, the chryso-
beryl, the golden carnelian, and many
Of similar grade. Some of these are
now so wonderfully cut that, although
they are known as semi-precIous
stones, their intrinsic value is brought
up to tllat Of gems of much higher
class. The turquoise has come into
favor more than any other stone In
recent years. The greatest number,
and some of the most beautiful, have
been found in the United States. 1t Is
estimated that during tho last three
years 100000 Of American turquoises
have been used. Another strange vagary
of fashion Is the change In popular feel
ing in regard to the exquisite opal.
Nothing can he more beautiful than the
fairy light dancing over the delicate
surface OF this stone, and yet for years
Its reputation has suffered from q
senseiess prejudice. Now the old su-
perstiti0n about the ill-luck of the opal
is dying out, and, set in diamonds, this
beautiful gem has become one Of the
chosen stones of the engagement ring.

land journeys, he and his party trslv-

the River Ashonapononchonan which
flows into Lake st. John. was very
difficult. The party carried with them
six canoes. The country proved very
rough and the rivers dangerous, so
that the trip on the whole was no

quarters early this spring and be home
during the fall. He will try and make
the return trip overland through the
southern part Of Labrador, just above

TWO REGULATIONS TO SUSTAIN

PAaladelphta ClubAen Contend WITH
Each other IN a Novel Drinking
Match.
Two men sat down to small table
in o Philadelphia club q few evenings
since for purpose. 1t was to decide
who possessed the greatest capacity for
white wine. Each had u reputation,
which he studiously sustained, Of be-
ing able to stand more fermcnted juice
Of the grape than the other, and their
criticisms of each other had become so
unbearable that interested persons de-
termlned by opposing the boosters to
end or mend their talk So grand
match was arranged. On the evening
before the test, says the Press, o friend
Of the elder contestant, who was q
practical joker, approached the vino
drinkers and, laying one hand con-
fidingly OH his shoulder, spoke thus:
Look here, old man, speak as a
friend. You've got reputation to sus-
tain tomorrow evening and the other
fellow hasn't. Now, as a friend, let
me insist that You accept the hotties OF
wine /, us IL judge Of the contest, shall
prepare. They'll be filled with water"
A sad look Of hopeless despair passed
over his face. TO drink water, even
though he won, was inglorious; hut
to drink wine and pcrcllancc lose, that
was infinitely better This decision re-
suited in an argument that lasted half
an hour, and the wine drinker was
then convinced. On the eventful night
the two men sat down to the table.

man was quick to the fray, the elder

his tastes and drank with Il collucrlng

each contestant stared ut each other.
This was wonderfully conducive to
cheerful feeling, and so they promptly
Slarcd at one another. That made
them rampantly joyous. Down came
one pOndcrous fist on the table. and
