Opals promise to be quite the rage and
are being fashioned into sleeve links,

gorgeous tiaras. The Mexican, Austria

but the last-named variety are the most
precious and rares:. A novelty in the
opals is the catseye opal. This is an in
genious specimen of the lapidary's art,
as the opal has been cut to follow the alb

mounted with this novelty in Louis XIV

months; other members of the large fam

seemed always to have new reason for put
ting on black, as a matter of fact she
never got it off until her marriage, the Joy
of which was soon clouded by the death of
her father-in-law and then the loss of two
children; now the poor girl is a widow
and is plunged into the heaviest of Grape.
All this leads me to say that do not ap-
prove of the custom of wearing black as a
mark of respect as a mark of that it has
long since ceased to be a symbol, for do we
not all know that many people put it on
who simply did not care button for those

DIPHTHERIA IN CATS.
Not Drinking Water but Household
Pets the Agency of Disease.

Not Drinking Water but Household
Pets the Agency of Disease.
Chicago Times Herald.
An old-time physician of Chicago, now
retired, finds that the ordinary house cat
may be the m cans of spreading diphtheria
far and wide. This man of medicine con-
tennis the idea that drinking water can be
an agent in carrying germs.
This is the way the scientist states his
case: "Instead of trying to make a scape-
goat of Chicago drinking-water, as many
people are trying to do in connection with
the large number of cases of diphtheria
now in Chicago, families containing small
own cats, as well as any stray cats that
may be found on their premises. AS a
means of communicating diphtheria and of
carrying the disease from one household to
another the common house cat is prob
ably more dangerous even than children
suffering with the disease, for, as rule,
the latter are watched carefully and quar-
antined in most cases.
1.-THE medical evidence showing that cats
not only contract and suffer from dipth-
liberia, but convey the poison even when
they themselves remain well, is abundant.
In addition to the evidence from foreign
countries and from other parts of the
United States. two small epidemics in Hi
nois have been traced directly to cats that
had diphtheria. The more interesting OF
these cases occurred in the little village OF
Worden, in Madison County, in August
1881. A few miles out of Worden was a
family with some children who had throat
trouble, that was found to be diphtheria
Several kittens in the household were the
pets of the children. The kittens were
taken sick, showing the usual symptoms Of
diphtheria in cats. Two of these kittens
just at the beginning Of their illness, Were
given to men living in Borden, who took
them home as pets for their children
Both of these kittens died within few

all we'll and good, perhaps, but even then
black is SO depressing that it is asking
those who had no part in their happiness
to share their pain.
And then, again, one might really sor-
row sincerely for the loss of relative and
not feel quite like wearing black half their
lives, as my friend has done.
/ hope somebody will shed tears when I
am gone and feel regret for me, and thay
need not omit flowers, for love them, but
they need not go into inkiness on my &C.
count, and am going to put that in my
will. Lots of men would DO that if they
only thought of it, for the men, as rule,
cannot endure mourning black, and to a
large extent right they are Exchange.

A WEDDING DRESS WAR FLAG.
The Iron Dukes CO1ors Were Patched
Up for His Funeral.

We are told curious circumstance con-
corning the colors of the Thirty-third, or
Duke of Wellington's Regiment. On the
death of the Iron Duke the regiment was
brought from Glasgow to London to attend
the funeral. The colors were lodged at the
town house in Portland place of the COM
handing officer, Lieutenant Colonel Blake,
where the color party were billeted.
To the simple, uninitiated mind of Mrs.
Blake the tattered condition of the regi-
mental colors seemed reflection on the
regiment, and she was alarmed that it
should be seen in that state in such great
cerem onial. Taking her white silk wedding
dress, she obtained the material wherewith
to repair the color, and it was, practically
speaking, her wedding dress duly draped
that was borne at st. PauPs that day

HOW TO MAKE PICTURE FRAMES.
Pretty Ones That Can he Fashioned 1t
Home. Ff

AoAAo
Have a plain pine frame made the
size of the picture. Procure from a drug
gist a quantity Of cork covered paper,
such az bottles are packed in. 1t is
usually given away, Cover the frame
with this, then give two coats, of ivory
white paint or gild with gold or bronze
paint. Another way is to cover the pine
frame neatly with plush or velvet. A
narrow gilt molding next the picture
gives a pretty finish to either frame.
At the picture stores they give away
the triangular pieces that are left after
making a frame. These make a part of
a very pretty frame for a square or
round picture. Take a piece Of pine
board an inch thick and IA inches
square. Plane il smoothly and cnt off
the corners to form an octagon. Cut u
round hole in the center 10 inches i'll
diameter. Cover this frame neatly with
plush, paste a strip of the plush All inoh
wide around the inside edge Of the cir
Gle. Now take the triangular bits Of
molding. They may be had of all sizes.
according to the width, but for this
frame they will need to Measure seven
inches the longest way. Four of these
are to be placed one on each corner.
Glue will hold them nicely. Fasten the
picture to the back, and it Is ready to
hang. If n glass is needed, 1t may be
held in place by strips of cloth pasted
around the edges, which will hold 1t to
the frame. The frame should be hung
diamondwise-that is, with a corner at
top and bottom.

ed with black ribbon. Lap on glass
