A COSTLY FAD.
That OF Collecting Beautiful Gems, En-
graved Stones and Canoes.

That Of Collecting Beautiful Gems En-
graved Stones and Canoes.
A passing pretty fad that costs a
passing pretty penny is the collect
ing of gems, engraved stones and
canoes. A great collection once
seen, and it is all up with the hap
less wight who has taken in the
germ of the fad. He will want the
heavenly city of Revelation itself
Rare and distracting objects dart of
this order may be seen in the
Louvre, British museum, South
Kensington museum, Uffizi gallery,
in Florence, and the National mu-
scum at Naples. The ancient lapi-
diaries were as clever and artistic
craftsmen as heart could wish. The
more examples saw of their skill
the more I admired and marveled
at it. Until such an exhibition of
seals and rings as may be found
among the priceless treasures of the
Louvre is seen you cannot appreci-
ate the skill of the ancient Egyptians
in this fascinating department of art.
A favorite medium to display in
beautiful form the craft of the art
lists of earlier centuries was a rock
crystal, substance that in the
shapes of vases, cups and various
exquisite devices is one of the typ
ical articles of enrichment in the
cabinets of European museums. In
more pretentious form you may see
this petrified sunlight constituting
the massive chandeliers that hang
in some of the gorgeous chambers of
the palaces of Versailles and Fon-
tainebleau. But engraved gems for
me. Amid the great Florentine col
lection begun by Lorenzo de- Medici
you shall rave with cause. The an
clients knew thing or two. Supe-
rior gem engraving fourished as far
back as Alexander, the world beat
er, and was perfected art to the
time of Hadrian, or the second
century after Christ. It shared in
the subsequent renaissance of the
arts and received honorable place
again in the skill of Italian, English
and German artists of the eighteenth
century.
Naples boasts the largest cameo
known, said to have been found in
the tomb of the EN- peror Hadrian.
1t is shallow cup or dish, in diam
eter at least six inches, showing a
superb head of Medusa on one side
and eight figures on the other. Re-
Wondering that these compositions
get their light and shade from the
stratified colors of the onyx, one bet
ter appreciates the beauty and rarity
of this ourio. If you would study
jade outside of the orient, drop into
the South Kensington museum.
Jade is precious and passionless
mineral, but infinitely chaste and
elegant when wrought into artistic
form.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Medicine Taking.

Medicine taking may become quite
as engrossing a habit as gum and
tobacco chewing, opium eating and
the like. just observe the number
of medicine takers that one encoun-
ters in railway travel, in the street
cars, the elevated trains, and, in
fact, under any conditions where the
public eye has an unrestricted op
portunity to gaze upon the private
individual. Medicine takers are
mostly women, though the habit is
by no means confined to them alone.
Many men may also be seen popping
small pills and dumping little pow
ders between their paws at all too
frequent intervals. All medicine
takers do this mechanically, how
ever, almost automatically, as though
they had no particular motive in so
doing beyond the fact that they were
the victims of q habit. Another sig
nificant thing about the medicine
takers is their apparent good health.
If bright eyes, clear skins and un-
troubled countenances are any gauge
of physical welfare, the medicine
taker does not need his medicine.
Of course not all possess these well
como characteristics, but so many of
them do as to justify the conclusion
that medicine taking must be a
healthful habit.-Chicago Post.
