All About the Thimble.

With other accounts of tho thimble Is
the following: 1t is Dutch invention,
and In 1884, in Amsterdam, the bicenten-
NAL Of the thinble was celebrated with "a
great deal of formality. This very valua-
Bile addition to my lady's workbasket was
first made by a goldsmith named Nicholas
van Benschoten, the ancestor of the Amer
lean family OF Van Benschotens. And 1t
may further interest colonial danes to
know that tho first thimble made was pre-
scented in 1854 to Anna van Wedy, the sec
ond wife Of Kiliaen van Rensselaer,, tho
purchaser Of Rensselaerwyck and the first
patroon Nine. van Rensselaer's memory
was duly honored in Holland on tine occa-
sion Of the thimble bicentennial. In pre-.
scnting his useful gift Van Benschoten
begged Nine van Rensselaer, "to accept
this new covering for the protection of her
diligent fingers as token Of his esteem.
1t was not until 1895, just 200 years ago,
that tho thmble was introduced into Eng
land by Hollander named John Lofting,
who opened thimble mandatory ut Is
lington.

To Mako n Christmas Pali.

A Christmas ball is pretty trifle to
give an HhSen. friend. The heart of the
bali may be some pretty little gift, a
gold thiinble, an emery ball, Il silver
spool or something Of that nature.
Around this silk floss or zephyr is
wound with quotations appropriate to
the person for whom the ball is intend
cd, put in and covered with the floss or
zephyr.
These quotations may bs taken from
a favorite author of the giver or the one
who receives the present, or they may
be made personal in character.
When the ball has been made the de-
sired size, handsome pair of scissors,
u gold bodkin, beautiful needlecase
or any gift the donor fancies may be at
tached to the end of the thread.
As the ball is unwound in embroider-
ing, knitting or crocheting, as the case
may be, the quotations come to light
unexpectedly and give pleasure long
after Christmas day has passed into the
shadows Of memory, while the heart Of
the ball adds the final bit Of pleasure
when the last thread is unwound.

RuRlEs AND DIAMONDS.
Artificial Rubies With Only Microscopic
Defects on Diamonds.

Defects-Engraying on Diamonds.
Rubies are now made, and they are just
as handsome as the genuine ones, and, IL
1t comes to that, it can hardly be said that
they are not genuine, inasmuch as they
are Of the same material The only diff
Guilty In the way OF their manufacture for
market Is that people do not want them,
regarding them az counterfeit. On that
account jewelers. will not sell them, for
they can be distinguished as artificial by
the microscope. Much has been said about
the bubbles which they contain, but
the bubbles are microscopic and do not in
terfere with the beauty OF the gems. 1t is
almost impossible TO get real ruby that
has no flaws in II.
Rubies are today the most valuable OF
all precious stones, far exceeding the dia-
Inond gem rs big as pea, Of the first
quality and Of the true pigeon blood color,
will fetch 81 900. Rubie5 are crystallized
eorundum, which Is oxide Of aluminium.
Diamonds can now be engraved in
very artistic manner This Development
Of the diamond cutting art brings into ex-
istence a new class Of jewelry, for which
considerable demand is expected. 1t was
long believed that the diamond could not
be engraved with safety or satisfactory re-
suits.
Some Of the finest examples Of engray-
ing on diamonds are the work of Paris
jeweler. One example Is a large circular
stone on which pansy, with its foliage
IL engraved. The most remarkable is
ring made Of one diamond, tho interior
surface boing polished and tho exterior
deliberately engraved. 1t is said that there
Is nothing similar to this in existence.
1t Is but few years since 1t was first
possible to pierce holes in diamonds. This
feat made possible the placing Of diamonds
on string, alternating with pearls, says

I h the summer campaign can present

hesitate to encounter.
Andrew Carpenter is a fugitive from
| justice. He is also colored person
who has attained some notoriety and
residence in Jail by reason OF consort-
ing with an infatuated white woman in
the southwestern part of town. Last
Sunday night he branched out in
different criminal direction by burglar
izing Il tent south of the city and APP
propriating it's contents. A warrant
was issued for him the next morning,
but the officer who held it felt satisfied
last night that Mr.. Carpenter had
changed his postoffice address.
One decided improvement was fin
ished in Churchlll's addition which
alone was worth the price of admission
to the city, to say nothing of the right
to pay taxes and vote at the approach
ing election. A new bridge was con-
structed on Fourth street across the
canal. The old one was for two years
a standing menace to every horse that
crossed it and an impending source of
damage suits against the county. This
made another improvement possible.
The old tim bers were taken possession
of by Mr.. S. D. Lount, who hired a
man to build a footbridge across the
canal.
A runaway involving complex stu
alton, but no serious circumstances,
took place yesterday afternoon on East
Van Buren, street. A four horse team
to which was attached wagon with
miscellaneous cargo of baled hay, fur
niture and dishes, was standing in the
street. TIE horses suddenly began
running around in contracted circle.
About the third revolution the team
came in contact with one Of MIR. Win
ters' sign posts and did what the city
authorities have been threatening to
! do-uprooted it. The next instant the
! wagon was overturned. A man and
woman sitting on it were thrown to the
ground but neither was injured. The
contents of the wagon were so mixed
up, though, that 1t was difficult to dis.
tinnuish bale of hay from rocking
chair.
Between the third and fourth acts of

house on Saturday evening last. Hon.
Tom Davis sang with much success the
latest song, THE Brownies" Arizona
has the proud distinction of claiming
this song as its very own, for the words,
which are very appropriate. are by
Mr.. G. W. Hoadiey, the well known
and popular cashier of the Arizona
National bank at Phoenix, while the
music, which is very pretty and catchy
and even better than the words. is by
Mis- Lizbeth Y. Allen, a young lady
no is now located at Phoenix, where
she is engaged as professor of music.
Judging by the manner in which the
song was received on Saturday night,
as the applause was loud and contin-
ued, it is likely to exceed the fame and
success of Sweet Marie" or after the
