RusSia'S Priceless Jewels.

"a whole guide book devoted simply
to the Hermitage could give no sort of
idea of the barbaric splendor of its be-
longings," writes Lillian Bell of the fam
Gus st. Petersburg Museum, in the
Ladies' Home Journal It's riches are
beyond belief. Even the presents given
by the Emir of Bokhara to the Car are
splendid enough to dazzle one like a real
ization of the Arabian Nights. But to
see the most valuable of all, which are
kept in the Emperor's private vaults, is
to be reduced to a state of bewiIderment
bordering on idiocy. It is astonishin"
enough, to one who has bought even one
Russian belt set with turquoise enamel,
to think of all the trappings of a horse
bit, bride, saddlegirth, saddlecloth and
an-made of cloth of gold and set in
solid turquoise belts and pistol handle
and holster made Of the same. Well,
these are there by the roomfu. Then
you come to the private jewels, and you
see ali these same accoutrements made of
precious stones-one of solid diamonds

Hat Bands and Wells.

We have all heard of Dicks hat band,
but that is not the sort peculiar to the
new summer headgear of Newport swells-
The hat bands they sport are revelations
of intricate colorings, and, moreover, are
said to have some special significance to
their wearer language of their own;
perhaps a Marian telegraphy, which
groundlings may never read. As though
to rival this hat band interest, the women
have taken on another, in the fashion of
fastening their wells. The floating ends
are as much an index of an up-to-date
young wOman's APPROPRIATENESS as the ob-
server of femininity requires. Instead
of combining the veil under the brim of
her hat, she now wishes it to assume the
negligence of the early Victorian veil,
and it hobs and floats in the breeze &C
cording to the step or motion of the wear

marks the style Of the moment.-Boston

A Glasgow scientist, who visited
Canada a few years ago, made trip
through Alberta, one of the northwest
territories of Canada, and spent some
time as the guest of a rancher. II fixed

relates, "but he complained that he did
not like sleeping with his clothes on.
SO after the first night [ stretched a
cowskin across the shack, and told him
he might undress if he liked. He took
off most of his garments and put Oh a
long white nightdress. In the morning
my foreman came in while the gentle
man was still sleeping. Observing the
white nightdress, he said. in whis-
