JEWELRY AND GEMS.

The Popularity of Gem JeweIry-Finger
Rings Worn by Both sexes-An ola

Crescents and Harvest Moons.
Jewelry is, to a certain extent, infiu-
enced by the wheel of fashion. Up
comes a long forgotten mode in dress
and with it the ornaments of that period.
Now and then a particular stone viii be

value on these latter stones. The divine

Of patronage. In the meantime the tur-
Quoise continues to please with its own
special blue tint, as do fine garnets that
masquerade as cape rubies and supply
the ruby red when oriental rubies, now
scarce and costly, are not to he hid. a
notable feature Is that all kinaa f col
ored stones are being used with lavish
hand IN jewelry. The diarIond remains
of course the popular gem, and speci-
mems most sought after are either per
fectly cOlOrless or possessing decided
tints Of rose red, green or blue. The as
ISOLATION of small diamonds with semi
precious stones is too familiar TO need
comment. A combination that never
fails to please and which is now exceed
ingly fashionable is that of fine pearls
and diamonds.
Finger rings are worn by both sexes,
and the number is unrestricted when
women are concerned. The most popu-

suits in these brooches. Butterfly pins
remain popular, but their use is restrict
ed chiefly to the service of veil pins.
Flower pins are in stock, and miniature
brooches continue to please. Diamond
clusters are always enviable possessions,
and the jeweled crescents and harvest
moons still find admirers.
Elaborate gem set brooches are made
In sections, which, transferred to gold
bandeau, afford without extra expense
an equally Respondent effect as tiara.
Tiaras, ON the other hand, are made in
sections, which are variously transferred
to bracelets, necklace or corsage Orna-
ment, as occasion may require.

the foregoing is CLEANED, also tells that
never was a fashion more general per-
haps than that of the bracelet, which is
now represented in both flexible and stiff
forms. Elegantes select the gem incrust-
ed ones. Pearl and diamond half hoops
and large single pearls for half hoops
are counted among fashionable bracelets.

went several blocks today to see one
about which L shall enjoy little talk.
1t was elegant and rich, without being
fussy or Overdone, and it is exactly
suited to the stately brunette who is to
wear it next Tuesday. The skirt is made
with a full demitrain, the whole skirt
stiffened with some firm interlining,
which gives it a wide and ample sweep.
The dress is made of the new swanskin
silk, than which nothing could be more
beautiful in plain surfaced goods. 1t
was cut to fit the front and hips very
closely, and all the fullness came from
the cut of the front of the skirt and the
plaits in the back Across the foot of
the skirt there was putting of silk null
held in by close little round clusters Of
orange buds and leaves. Down the front
breadths were draperies of white silk
null loosely accordion plated, headed
by punches of buds and leaves The up
per portion of the corsage, back and
front, was of plated silk null, with
high swiss belt of the swanskin silk,
embroidered with silver. The sleeves
had double puffs, with cuffs and ruff1es
of the null. More little bouquets of the
orange buds were set on the shoulders
and the stock. A narrow wreath of them
encircled the little knot of hair on the
top of the head, and to this was fastened
the long tuIle veil in the back, where it
hung like the floating, nebulous tail to
a comet.
Few of the brides of this season have
worn any orange blossoms, or, if they
did wear any, they were very few, and
they were set upon the hair or at the
corsage. The wearing of orange bios
SONS is optional. Some brides wear no
flowers at all, some like stephanOtia,
and others carry a bouquet of fairy
white orchids or white roses. Still I
think orange blossoms somehow belong
with a wedding gown. Bridesmaids
have fine opportunity to look exceed
ingly pretty, however they dress. At the
wedding of next Tuesday the brides sis
ter and cousin are to officiate at this
home ceremony. One has a white faille
shot with pale pink and decorated with
a struggling pattern in green and tiny
scarlet blossoms. The skirt is entirely
plain. There is a white ribbon belt, and
a yoke blouse OF the silk, with a white
embroidered yoke and epaulets. The
sleeves are loosely draped puffs. The
stock is white silk, with large ribbon
riff at the hack The cO1SiD 3 dress was
a mauve and white striped taffeta, with
a full bias ruffle of the same around the
bottom.
The wooden goods are exceedingly
handsome, and it is impossible to select
any one of the standard weaves as most
popular. The marbled cheviots and the
mixed basket weaves are perhaps the
newest, but the quality and colorings of

GEM SET FINGER RINGS.

lar ring at the moment is doubtless the
hoop with from three to seven stones.
The very latest thing in hoop rings that
are set with colored gems is the placing
of tiny diamonds in the small interven-
ing spaces between the large stones.
Cross over rings are also favorites, and
the novelty in this line shows shanks
covered with small stones that lead up
to the large single gems in the end.
There is fad now for rings composed
of tiny hoops set with small gems. The
fancy also continues for little finger
rings. Marquise and cluster rings are
counted with staple styles. A solitaire
diamond represents the conventional en-
gagement ring, and the plain gold hoop
the wedding one. Rings desired espe-
cially for full dress occasions are very
elaborate and expensive trinkets. These
take on forms of scrolls, plumes and cor
onets wrought with diamonds, emer-
aids, rubies and pearls.
Finger rings for men are remarkable
this season for their fine hand carved
mountings made in Roman and antique
finished gold. Gem rings are worn, the
cabochon style of setting being fashion
able. A decidedly up to date ring is the
all gold seal ring. Massive gold rings
with deliberately carved shanks are set
with sard, bloodstone and other seals.
A highly coveted ring is one set with a
genuine antique seal.
The latest development in brooches is
in point of fact an old idea revived
namely, that of mounting large single
colored stone of round or oblong shape
in a setting of brilliants, small pearls or
a framework of gold Amethysts and
topazes are introduced with effective re-

Church Etiquette.

l. If possible be on time. You
need at least five minutes after COM
ing, to get warm or cool to compose
your body and mind, and to whisper a
prayer before the service begins.
2. Never pass up the aisle during
prayer or Scripture reading. If you
do your presence will distract the
minds of many in the audience.
3. Be devout in every attitude all
whispering should be s~tudiously
avoided. Share the book with your
neighbor. If in q strange church,
conform to its customs Of worship.
4. If the sermon has begun, take a
seat near the door-no matter if you
are 'sat home"
5. Be thoughtful for the comfort Of
others. Take the inside Of the pew if
you are the first 70 enter, and leave all
vacant space at the end next to the
aisle.
6. Speak a bright CHEEKY word to as
many as possible at the close Of the
service. If you are a stranger ask one
of the ushers to introduce you to the
pastor or to some of the church officers.
This will always insure you a hearty
welcome.
Z. Never put on your coat, overshoes
or wraps during the closing hymn, and
do not make a rush for the door imme-
diately after the benediction is pro-
nounced.
8. There should be no loud talking
and TESTING after the service is con,
cluded they are as much out of place
in the house of God as at a house OF
mourning.-TAe Colportor.

Dogs as Church Goers.

The principal disturbers of worship
in the colonial meeting house were
dogs, says William Root Bliss in
"Side Glimpses From the Colonial
Meeting House." They seem to have
been regular attendants at the Sunday
services, and Of necessity were placed
under discipline.
At New London 1882 one Of the
duties of the sexton was ito order
youth in the meeting house and beat
out dogs" At Charleston (1666) a
man was hired at FL a year ito ring
the bell to meetings and to keep out
dogs in meeting time" At Dedham

a year "for keeping dogs out in meet
ing time and shutting the door,

made them pay for the privilege Of
coming to meeting. The law of this

shall be in the meeting house on the

The dog law of Redding 1882 was
peculiar. It ran thus: Every dog
that comes to the meeting, either Of
Lords day or lecture day, except it be
their dogs that pays for a dog-whipper,
the owner of those dogs shall>pay six
pence for every time they come to the
meeting that doth not pay the dog

Tie Beautiful IIeartlessness

Not without significance is it repre-
scented that the superficial character is
connected with the hard heart. Be-
meath the light, thin surface OF easily
stirred dust lies the bed of rock. The
shallow ground vas stony ground.
And it is among the children of light
enjoyment and unsettled life that we
must lood for stony heartlessness-
not in the world of business, not among
the poor, crushed to earth by priva-
ton and suffering. These harden the
character, but often leave the heart
soft. If you wish to know what hol-
lowness and heartless are, you must
seek for them in the world of light,
elegant, superficial fashion, where fri
volity has turned the heart into a rock
bed of selfshness. Say what men
will of the heartlessness Of trade, it
is nothing compared with the heart
l%essness Of fashion. Say what they
please of the atheism of science, it is
nothing to that round of pleasure in
which many a heart lives, dead while

Braddock.'s Rock.

The Buffalo Commercial tells Of a
movement started in Washington by
the Sons Of the American Revolution
for the preservation of Braddock's
Rock on the Potomac, where the
British first landed in the district.
Braddock's Rock is upon the site oc-
cupied by the British and provincial
troops in April, 1855. The British
troops landed there from their trans
ports, the Sea Horse and the Nightin-
gale, and there pitched their tents in
April, 1855. 1t is a matter of tradi-
ton that Washington, then an officer
of Virginia colonial troops and later
~aide-de-camp to Braddock, was canlped
also on this very same hill, and was 80
impressed with the beauty Of the site
and of the surrounding country that
he was subsequently led to choose it
for the location of the national CAPT
toll. This is the very spot which he,

Use Of Confederate Bills.

"Did you ever know what has be-

federate paper money with which this
country was flooded some years back?'

old man who makes a business Of

ate bauknotes he can find. You know
the stuff was issued by the ton dur
ing the war, and there is any quantity
of it still floating around. When the
old man gets a big bundle of the paper
he sends it to Edison, the inventor,
who pays a good price for it. Edison
uses it to make carbon for incandes-

the Confederate notes were engraved
was made Of the pulp of the sea grass.

December 3, that a citizen of Wash
ington, while on a visit TO his son in
Virginia, was choked to death by a
bone in his throat after every effort
was made to remove the same, but
without success. Whenever l read of
such cases in any paper J. always en-
deavor to send the same paper a sure
and certain relief for choking that has
never yet failed. The remedy is simp-
ly this To Immediately reverse the
upright position of the body, sup
ported by the hands and feet elevated,
when instantly relief will be obtained
and the obstruction will fall from the
mouth. A child can be seized by the
legs aud head turned down, and relief
will be instantaneous. Several lives

Braddock's rock has been known by
this nam ever since the time Of Brad
docks departure and is still so known
by old inhabitants of the vicinity,
among whom are several who remem-
Der when it was touched by the waters
of the Potomac, since diverted farther
southwark. In the report of the as
Economical observatory for 1871, ap-
pendix No. 4, is a reference to Brad
docks rock under this name, and to
the fact that it was from this point
that Braddock marched toward For,
Duquesne. It is also recorded here
that Colonel Peter Force, the we'll
known antiquary, during his lifetime
repeatedly pointed out this as the rock
on which Braddock's landing was
made. Further authorization can be
found in Braddock's journal Of this
expedition.
