FOR RISING BREAST
Makes Childbirth Easy.
OpaIs the Rage.

New YORK, June lS.-Every proper,
well equipped Summer Girl, of '96 will have
slowed away somewhere among her effects
an opal or two. She may have diamonds,
pearls, rubies and sapphires galore, but she
must own some opals Fashion has decreed
it to be the fashionable jewel Of the hour,
and no matter how much bad luck II may
contain in its flashing depths, it must be
worn.
London's fashion authority has declared
against the diamond in favor Of the opal in
the following language: Society leaders
are frowning upon diamonds, and the opal
is the fayorite stone with those Of extreme
good taste"
The same condition exists in New York,
and in those exclusive circles where only
good taste finds toleration in lavish displays
of diamonds have the past season been less
and less frequent. On the other hand, such
Jewels rs opals, emeralds and sapphires have
been worn much more, and are now ex-
tremely fashionable. The opal Is hand-
some jewel aud is becoming leader in the
jewel trade Ten persons buy opals nova
days where one bought them ten years ago.
No doubt the old superstition had some
thing to do with it, but it is true that oPals
are the fashion. The opal will sometimes
change 10 lusier and emanations from the
body in certain diseased conditions will pro-
duce this effect The variation in the mois-
ture contained in the tiny crystals Of the
stone produces wonderful changes, and 1t
may be this that originally gave rise to the
supersttious dread But the sentiment OF
the opal Is nope, innocence, purity" All
through ancient literature, we find that the
opal was regarded with particularly good
favor. Intelligence is bringing the stone
back into its true place again.

The sounding Of the gong TO clear ship
for action may mean the death knell Of
one or all on the vessel.
The sailors sand the decks, strip to the
waist and bare their feet in order that
they may not slip on blood.
Formerly the order to clear ship for
action was conveyed by means Of the
boatswain's whistle. Now the electric
gong has superseded the pipe, and the first
signal is heard through the warshiP.
At the first sound Of the gong ham
mocks are stored. Steam is generated in
every boiler, and all unnecessary gear
slowed below. The next step is TO clear
away all appliances and fixtures that are
not needed. Slannchions are unshipped
and deck bulkheads III the way Of tie
batteries are removed and sent below
Ifit is night, every light on tie ship Is
put out. The crews have pracllced their
duties so often that they can work as well
in the dark as in the light. They are
able to place the torpedo tubes in position,
and lower the steel reiting, which Is used
as a defense against torpedoes from the
opposing vessels.
The life boats are lowered and dropped
astern. All movable objects in them are

THE COCK AND HEN.
By ". d. BRIsCoE.

By ". d. BRIsC0E.
The hillside hung a curtain green
Above the moss-grown ledges
That ridged and shelved the space between
The uplands and the sedges,
Growing where Natures brighter smiles,
A gloomy tarn resented
Tho lilies green as fairy isles
With bloom its waters tented.
Two roads went up and two came down,
Far in the distance seeming,
To where the purple mountains crown
The vale, entranced and dreaming.
In summers heat and winters frost,
Midway twiyt town and borough,
The two highways at angles crossed.
Scared with rut and furrow.
From east and west great wagon trains
Along the highway plodded,
The white tents Of the loaded walneS
Like sail-boats dipped and nodded.
Bevond the stream, and circling wood
Lichen flecked and jagged,
A hamlet near the cross roads stood,
A pilgrim gray and ragged.
Whether for evil or for good,
Some folk could ne'er determine;
But there it was-and there 1t stood,
As plain as Quaker sermon.
Midway? What a place it was-not
n town-nor yet village;
Nature gave, It's true, the spot,
But Sloath the hand of tillage.
Briars choked the stunted corn,
And disregard of reason,
With sheer neglect and fields forlorn
Brought waste with every season.
Beyond the road with rugged grace,
The flight of scarce an arrow,
An inn looked down the open space,
From easements long and narrow.
"The Cock and Heron sign board rude
Strutted in rusty sables;
And with gloom somehow imbued,
This house of hooks and gables.
Great oaks above the Cock and Hen"
Sighed weird, low and eerie,

NE YORK, Sept. 2.-The Eevening
Posts financial cablegram says The stock
markets opened good today on a better
feeling, both as to politics and easier
money But utter stagnation and more
gold eXports subsequently weakened the
market which closed dull, although prices
were better on balance. Consols sold at
1.10A after touching 1.12l Americans
pursued a course Independent of the other
markets After a good opening prices
steadily improved and closed quite at the
best. The Denver and Rio Grande state
ment and morec heerful views as to the re-
suit of the election in the United States
have caused some renewal of activity here
with q demand FOR bonds. Todays with
drawals of gold - m the Bank of England
were made on ticipation that the Bank
of England will <lpse It's price for exchange,
which is probauie If more gold is with
drawn.
ondon cables report the withdrawal of
Eos. 900 in gold from the Bank of England
for shipment to this country. The steam
ship Pavonia. from Liverpool, brought
$4,000 In gold to Boston. The bank of No
via Scotia has ordered $500 900 in gold from
