Republican side of the senate chamber

JEWELS TO MATCH
THE EYES.

THE EYES.
Someone has started a new
and novel notion in the choos-
ing and wearing Of jewels. That
is, to match them, as nearly as
possible, TO tie color of The
spots. in ones eyes. According
TO this, a hazel eyed girl is wise
to choose yellow, green or
brown stones. Blondes with
dark blue eyes are recommend
ed sapphires, topaz, canoes,
cairngorm and amber of the
deepest tints. The possesor Of
black eyes may be made. hap
py with black pearls and dia.
mords. Following out the rule
of the color, light blue eyes
would, it may be supposed,
wear tortoise and pearls; the
greeenryed girls but, pshawl
what girl would acknowledge
that resemblance TO the feline
race, even though priceless
emeralds Were to be her lot!
This may be a good idea, aud,
i'll choosing jewels one certain
~ should select stones which
would harmonic with the
wearer's coloriug, for jewels
sometimes make or mar an
otherwise perfectly appointed
costume and ruin the tout en-
semble. One should, therefore,
br careful that all the access
series of Il toilet do not swear
at each other as carelessly
chosen coiors often do.

six to eight thousand feet above sea
level 1t is not often met with below
the former limit, and seldom above the
latter Once it could be plucked-
probably it has now been eXterminated
by the side of a path few hundred
feet above Zermatt, and within half
an hour of the hotels; it was album
dant, and no doubt still is, all about
the little inn at the Tosa Falls, and it
may be picked in handfuls within
couple of hours easy walk from the
baths of San Bernardino. That it is a
great rarity is also AN article of faith,
but this is another myth. 1t is, doubt
less, a plant local rather than univer-
sal in the Alps, but there are few dis
tricts where it does not occur, often
abundantly. What has caused it to
be so priced is difficult to understand.
1t is an everlasting, but that is almost
equivalent to saying that IL has no
greab beauty. The plant attains a
delight of about four inches, having one
or two flowers on a stem. These are
star shaped, few pointed rays down
covered, as if they were cut out OF
pale gray velvet, surrounding two or
three yellowish tufts. The dry stem
and narrow leaves are similarly COW
cred. It's scientific name is Gnaphal-
ium leontopodium, and the genus to
which it belongs has three of four rep
resentatives in the Alps, one of them,
G. dioicum, being also abundant on
dry moors in Britain. 1t is, in short,
flower quaint rather than beautiful.
The edelweiss is an extremely easy
plant to raise from seed, and should
be treated as an annual. The seed can
be obtained readily for a few pence
from any respectable nurseryman. 1t
is, however, a very difficult plant to
transplant with any success. Some
times the edelweiss when torn from it's
native mountain and set out in a gar
den will have sufficient life in it to
flower, and then pine away and die.
This is the almost invariable result of
these attempted transplantations
1t may be added that edelweiss, when
grown on anything like the sea level,
or, in fact, anywhere away from home,
entirely loses it's distinctive character,
and becomes worthless as a garden
plant. Perhaps these few remarks may
save some tourists sponge bags from
being filled with mutilated plants of
edelweiss, which, if they do not be-
come heated and die on the journey,
win barely linger long enough to en-
able the proud owner to point to them
as evidence that he has actually been
in Switzerland.-Lo Standard.

Anna Held, 1.-THE beautiful idol OF
France, as she is called by her mama
ger, arrived in New York, and has
been seen in "a Parlor Match" AS
yet the New York critics have not gone
wild over her, beyond saying that she
is a fine looking girl with wonderful
hair and eyes. She has been inter
viewed by representative from every
newspaper in New York, and to all
of them she has said, that America
is choost loafely," even though she has
breathed it's air only for five days.
Elwyn A. Barron, a well-known Eu-
ropean critic, says that Anna Held is
the most artistic success of the music
halls this season, and he thus goes
into raptures over her beauty:
