INSECTS AS JEWELS.

I'm Brazil, and in fact through the
whole of South America, says French
writer i'll tho Jewellers Circular, q
multitude of magnificent insects are
found from which various jewels are
made. A few are imported to Europe,
but up to the present time they have
not had all the success they merit.
The coleoptera which are designated
by the name of Bnprestis are especial
ly used. The shape of their bodies
may not be DO very elegant, but their
color surpassos oil that can be mag
incd; their common namo of erich

others have on their winged shenths

Their consistency permits them to

bracelets, earrings, etc. The species
most used belong to tho genus Cur
Gallo; it is very common i'll its own
country, where i'll its abundance it
even sometimes weighs down tho
branches of the mimosas. They nrc
frequently sent to Paris. Earrings
are made entirely from Curculio tho
claws and belly arc of gold. On tho
surface of the Lystras are seen longi-
tudinal rows of very sharp points or
dots. Each point is filed with little
green scales, which shine like enc.
raids. One earring that have seen

green, clear green, set off in several
pluces on tho surface by blackish dots
surrounded by golden crown. It
was rather large, md would look bet

TIE DECORATION OF BEDS.

In late years it has become very
fashionable to devote much time and
thought to the decoration of beds. Tho
old-fashioned white Marseillcs spread
is rarely ever seen now-that is, in
''fashion's giddy circle"-whilc those
of silk, damask, cretonnc, embroidered
linen and other fabrics take its place
Pretty and inexpensive spreads may
be made of wide Swiss muslin, with
silesia and trimmed all round with IL
graceful fall of lace. A bow or two to
correspond with the lining will also
add finishing touch: Some of the
beds arranged in these styles look beau
tiful, but after nll to my mind there is
nothing so pretty as pure white
spread and hem-stitched pillow slips.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

A thought never dies.
Old age thinks backwards.
Honesty is not contagious.
Matrimony is loves eyo-opener.
Cupid is scarcely to DO believed on
oath.
Riches have wings thet flap the other
way only.
Gossip is tho bullet in tho gun of
idle curiosity.
The rose never tries to wear the
livery of the lily.
With some of us hope never comes
to the full bloom.
Trust is the strongest link in the
chain of association.
Everybody would be perfect if
everybody else thought SO.
We may fill our lives with music if
We know what chords to touch.
You can boast of noble blood whom
you arc the hero of noble deeds
Let us talk only of what We have
done, and think of what we will do.
Love is the charm of life wherever
found, whether in cottage or mansion.
Don't worry about heaven if your
conscience tells you that you deserve
it.
Faith overlooks the difficulties of
the way, and bends her eyes only to
the end
Not one time in n million are man 8
tears dishonest; what may be said of u
woman's is different.
Give strict attention to little things
watch closely the details, even though
they seem of no Importance.

Park No. , Almost Completed and Big
Mine Run Ready.

The new breaker at Park No. colliery,
Park Place, which has been constructed
to replace the one destroyed by fire a
little over three months ago, will be put
in operation next Monday. This breaker
is one of the largest and best equipped in
the region and has been constructed in
remarkably short time. A million and a
half feet of white pine timber was used
to build it. One of the new features is
the introduction of terra Gotta chutes
instead of the ordinary sheet iron and
cast iron chutes used in most places for
the fine dirt and slush 1t is claimed the
terra Gotta will give a smoother sliding
surface. This colhery is operated by

Capt. Edward Reese, of Centralia. 1t
gives employment to over eight hundred
men and boys and consequently its re
sumption is anXiously awaited by a
number of families.

will resume operations tomorrow. Its
new breaker equipments were put through
