The Dolls OF the Period.

The sophisticated small girl of to-day
makes collection of dolls, not to play
with, but TO talk about. One little woman
possesses thirty dolls, most of them dressed
in the costumes of the countries she has
visited in her travels before reaching the
mature age of seven years. Other simpler
minded children delight in the French dolls
with bisque head and weli-jointed body.
Blondes with golden hair remain the favor
lite, and are always pretty. even when they
close their blue eyes They are dressed in
little frocks of Liberty silk or satin, made
with huge pulled sleeves that cannot be
crushed, the toilet completed by a cape
line in true French fashion. ACCORDION
pleated frocks of India silk are very ef-
fective on these little dollies. Only the
most delicate tints are chosen for the gown
and capeline, and the lace-trimmd garments
so well made that they can readily be
put on and off.
The dolls In ginghams are dear to many
sweet little girls, as they are counterfeit
presentments of themselves. The frocks
aSe high in the neck, or with guimpe of
White muslin and shirred muslin hat. The
infant in arms still remains favorite, with
its long robe of white nainsook and baby
cap of lace Baby boys share with girls
the fancy for rag dolls, made so soft that
they cannot hurt the child. the face paint
artistic taste is developed In the small own
ers Dolls with knitted costume represent
a Spanish cavalier. Dutch peasant with
high head dress, a Highlander in his kilt,
or a wee midshiprDan.

A FORTUNATE RECOVERY.

A Jeweler who Gets Back Diamonds
From n Dirt-Dump.
"Nyhile in Louisville a few days
ago." said traveller for jewelry
house, II found one of my customers
in great stew over the loss of a
couple of valuable diamonds, which
however, he recovered the next day
under peculiar circumstances. The
stones had been laid on his desk in an
envelope with the end torn off. A
commercial traveller had come in and
laid his samples on the desk. When
he had gone and the porter had cleared
up the Office the diamonds were
missed. They must have been knocked
on the floor. The travelling man was
above suspicion. The porter was
called. lie had swept the Office and
emptied the contents into the dirt bin.
"A rush was made for the bin. The
street cleaning wagon had taken
away the dirt Then there was a
rush TO the dump. 1t was growing
dark. The spot about where the last
eight or ten loads were dumpel was
marked and a watchman put to guar
the place. Next day twenty lot Is OF
this dirt were carted back to - ley
in the rear of the merchant home
and ten men with sieves put to wor.;
10 search the refuse. The IA relant
stood anxiously by. Load atfcr loa
was examin ID without result AL
there was actually but one sieve full
left TO search when in it the envelope,
dirty and bedraggled, was found, and
in it the precious sparlIlers The men
were literally rewarded and the mer-
chant opened large bottle"

COLoRED MEN AS LyNCHERs !.

A recent incident in the neigh Dor

murdered little girl OF six years, his
stepdaughter. 1t was brutal and
monstrous wickedness, to be sure, for
the only reason he gave was that the
child was the cause of discord bet ween
himself and wife. Still, there was IA
case where the punishment might
have been counted on, and where
there. seemed to be no immediate ne.
cessity for interference. 1t was not a
crime of the kind that maddens men
by its enormity and iufiames them by
its horror. 1t was simple murder
