was accidentally discharged. Blair
opened the door just in time to re-

the discharge of the gun was an ac-

Blair's injuries were not at all serious.
The rivers and harbors committee
Wednesday directed that a favorable
report be made on representative
tive Dovener's resolution authorizing
the secretary Of war to cause survey
to be made Of the West Fork of the
Monongahela river. The resolution
provides for preliminary survey aid
for an estimate of the cost of improv-
ing the river from the point of con-
huence with Tygart's Valley TO Clarks-
burg. A series of locks and dams
will be constructed TO enable the
small craft to navigate the stream

other products forming an important
tributary to the commerce of the Mo
nongahela. Mr.. Dovener Is confident
of the ultimate success of the project.

GREEN STONES THE THING.
Growing In Favor as Jewels.

Growing In Favor as Jewels
The fad for green stones is growing.
First, of course, comes The emerald
as valuable as the diamond, and often
more So. A fawless emerald is rarely
found, and is very costly. The rich,
deep color, so beautiful in itself, how
ever, is not as becoming as that of
stones of lesser value. The chryso-
prase, for instance which is a lovely
apple-green, or the peridot, called
sometimes the evening emerald. This
last is a transparent leaf green. The
latest idea is to set this stone in green
enamel and surround the Whole with
pearls or diamonds. The Divine and
chrypolito are varieties of the pridot
The aqua-marine, a pale seagrcen
semi-preciOus stone, is also coming into
favor. These are mounted in gold alone,
or with pearls. A lovely opal brooch
saw the other day was surrounded by
diamonds and olivines. the yellow ish
green Of the latter enhancing the OK
qusite tints of the opal.
Then there are old charms for the
watch chains of oliYines combined
with diamonds in the forms of tor
toises, frogs and scorpions. In The new

At present a woman of fashion her
aids her approach with the jingle OF

besides the ones mentioned above,
many other designs, as a pig, a four
leaf clover in a crystal locket, a fox
terrier, banjo, a fiddle, salmon or a
lucky bean with a small diamond in
the top. New designs in brooches show,
first a triple coil, second a butterfly
lowering over a blossom, third heart
Of moonstone falling from a bow Of
gold. There are many ribbon bows in
gold set with pearls or diamonds.
These were in vogue several years ago
and have returned to favor. Marguer-
ties Of diamonds with pearl in the
centre make lovely brooches. Sapphires
are very fashionable, next in favor to
emeralds. Six rows OF pearls. either
real or imitation, form the dog collar
now in favor, and pearl chains are
sometimes so long as to descend nearly
to the knees.

TWO STRINGS TO HER BOW.

The advantages to a girl Of perform
ing on the violin, says Rev. H. r.
Haweis, are obvious If she sings, she
may lose her voice. and. if she has no
voice, she can't sing. If she plays the
piano. no one viii cease talking, in
England, at least; no, not even if she
plays divinely; and then she cannot be
well seen at the piano. But, if she holds
a violin, she is at once isolated. In
our overcrowded female population $50
lation is everything.
To be picked or pick yourself out of
a crowd, to command the undivided at
tention of the room, to have your in
nings and to have it all to yourself I'M
der the most advantageous, the most
fascinating circumstancos.-th is a
great point. A girl may go to n dozen
at homes and parties, but there are
dozens more girls there along with her,
and she is but one in the dozen. But
let her suddenly appear with her vio-
lin, and she gets her opportunity. She
! is perfectly seen as she stands at east.
If she plays at night, her arms and
shoulders are bare, her head, with its
artistically dressed hair set off with
q rose or diamond comb, falls into a
natural and fetching pose, just a little
on one side, her cheek leans lovingly
upon the smooth surface of her glow
ing Cremona, and is set off ut once

nish.
Every motion Of both her well-round-
ed arms is expressive; every attitude.

A SENSIBLE QUEEN.

Queen Victoria brought up her chill
dren to treat servants with considera-
ion and fairness. A strict mistress,
She is also just and consderate. The
New York Home Journal thus describes
her wise dealings with her household.
The princess royal, now the dowager
empress of Germany, was as q child
overbearing in her manner to servants,
and the queen frequently punished her
for speaking rudely to those who waited
on her. On one occasion the duke of
York ,hen a lad, was severely repri-
manded by the queen before a number
of people for an incOnsiderate remark
to a servant. The result of her wise
training writes a member Of the royal
household, is that the royal family
make the best masters and get the best
servants in the world. Until the day of
her death, the Prince of Wales visited
his old nurse, willie the young Duchess
of York never omits, when she is at
White Lodge, to see those humble folk
who were kind to her in childhood.
Many of the most loving and thankful
words ever added by her majesty S
own hand to the Court Circular have
| been tributes of esteem and gratitude
/ to some good servant who has gone be-
/ fore A strange institution, but one
/ that works admirably, was organized
/ by the queen and Prince Albert early
! in their married life at Windsor Castle.

CHRYSANT HE MUM.
A Beautiful Flower--Its
History.

The chrysanthemum is older than the
civilization of America, thousands Of
years old. 1t grew in the far east of
the older continent centuries before the
Spanish ships carried the Genoese navi-
gator to the portal of a western world.
1t raised its shaggy head in far-off
China and Japan in days too remote to
reckon the blossoming of the first seed.
The chrysanthemum is first men
toned in the floral lore OF England in
1854 when it was introduced by Chinese
traders and nurtured by the famous
horticulturist, Miller of Chelsea. The
flower. however did not thrive in its
transplanted home and apparently left
no traces of its early efforts at dissem-
ination, for fifty years later it was re-
introduced into the British islands
through French channels. The blossoms
that came from Marseilles revived no
memory Of the earlier Chinese dover in
English minds. A discussion arose as
10 its name and botanical antecedents
and the result was the musical title If
chrysanthemum, the Greek gold
flower"
The beautiful Jagged BLOSSOM soon
grew disconnected with the limited soil
Of the older world and lonsed for fresa
conquests with the ard0r Of the hoyish

At the launching of the battleship wis.

Thy charge, stand firm, should a foe

Go forth as the eagle skins the blue

A challenged might, menace to wrong

Expression, pathos, passion, sweet
ness, tenderness, VigOr aspiration, &C.
stacy, delicious imaginative woe, all
sweep over her countenance like swift
cloud shadows that chase each other
on summers day over the wide up
lands or sunny cornfields.
She reveals herself without self-cOn-
seriousness, for she claims the virtuOso's
privilege of being lost in her art. She
charms you by her spontaneity; her
enthusiasm is infections; see, her eyes
are now half closed in dreamy langour,
but presently they flash forth like bea-
con fires, and then on a sudden seem
to fill with tears that glisten in her
long dark lashes and forget to fall.
The CONCEALED girl is melted by the
very essence of her divine art.
The silent maiden finds q frank and
fearless tongue more eloquent than her
own. Her emotional consciousness,
which, ably buried in the depths of her
virginia. nature, is suddenly brought
up to the surface, pervades the whole
of her tingling frame, and her soul, a
moment before apparently so cold and
pallid, like a piece of Labrador spar
when set at a particular angle, gives
of beautiful and iridescent tints.
