Styles in Precious Stones.

Well, crescents and triple crescents
are quite popular, but the marquise
takes the lead at present. The hoop or
gypsy ring has long been the favorite
among Englishwomen, and their Amer
lean sisters are adopting it. Sometimes
as many as four of these rings adorn one
slender finger. The usual combination,
however, is a sapphire, diamond and a
ruby, or for young girls the choice is a
pearl and turquoise.
Recently there has been craze for so
called ''pinkie" rings for the little fin
ger. Every woman who has any pre-
tension to fashion in jewelry wears one
or more of them. Friendship" rings
are popular, because they may be pre-
scented with propriety by young man
to young woman without any refer
ence to an engagement between them.
Seal rings, so much in vogue few
years back, are not worn nowadays by
those who follow the DEGREES Of style.
Neither are bangle rings any longer
worn, except by schoolgirls.
In the fancy jewels there are the
spinel, catseye and pearls, some of the
latter weighing ninety grains. We have
made for several brides pearl necklaces,
with strings holding seventy pearls, each
one worth from $50 to Interview

Three American oneens.


Three little dirty, half clad girls made
a brief sensation on upper Broadway the
coolest day recently. The eldest was
not more than eight, and her companions
might have been six and seven respec-
lively. The eight-year-old carried
faded, rib rotten parasol that had once
been pale blue, and her two companions
were trying to squeeze their heads un-
der it, while they carried the rear of
their short dresses in one hand, as ladies
manipulate their trains at a muddy
crossing.
The eldest divided her attention be-
tween the proper angle for the parasol
and getting her little skirt down low
enough to touch the sidewalk, which
she occasionally accomplished by stoop-
ing. Three pairs of feet were visible
through the dilapidated shoes, and the
shabby old July hats wouldn't have
been picked out of the gutter. And
these three little girls playing lady on
Broadway were evidently delighted at
the good humored attention of stalwart
gentlemen in heavy listers, ladies in
costly furs and carriage drivers muffied
to the ears in warm livery. New York

Almost Drowned in sawdust.

Men have lost their lives in quick
sands, but seldom, if ever, has any man
come nearer sinking down to death in
quick sawdust than did Merchant Tailor
p. W. Battle, of Williamsport. Walk
ing along eight or ten yards from the
river bank, upon what he did not know
was made ground almost entirely com
posed OF sawdust, he began to sink be-
fore he realized any danger. After he
had gone down to his waist, and could
not regain the shore, he removed his
upper garments and threw himself as
fast as possible out into the river, where
he struck wading ground and made his
way in the water around the treacherous
sawdust tract

A Scheme That Failed.

A certain young man invented a novel
plan for causing his landlady to linger
in regard to asking him for her much
overdue board bill. He was several
weeks behind, and his landlady was ser
iously contemplating ejectment. He
was painfully conscious Of the hardness.
Last Wednesday he addressed a postal
to himself stating that $40 was left to
his credit in a certain local bank. All
would have been well had not the land
Ia ly examined the postal closely. She
discovered that the missive was written
in the same handwriting as that of her de-
linquent boarder. Hewas elected uncere-

Fixed to the Rail by Electricity.

A very peculiar case of shocking by
electricity occurred in Shelbyville re-
Gently. The victim was William Lou
den, who works at the Hotel Ray. In
front of the hotel is an iron veranda
running to the third story. An electric
wire passes from the street into the room
occupied by George Goulding in the
hotel building. This evening when the
electric light was turned on heavy
rain was falling. The electricity appar-
emily had heavily charged the iron YER
anda. Louden came out of the hotel
and stood with his back against the iron
railing. In an instant he was shocked
and fixed in his position. His frightful
yells attracted big crowd. Charles
Huffman ran out of his store, and, touch
ing Louden, was also badly shocked.
Louden finally fell on the sidewalk. The
two men are badly burned. Cor. In
