ICE BRE4KING UP
In the Lower Part of the Harbor-The
 Truant Lightship,

Yesterday noon under the potent in- fluence of Old Sol the ice in the lower harbor began to break up and during the afternoon quite large amount of the big sheet was carried out by the tide into the sound.
 Some time during Monday night the lightship Robert P. King of the New Haven Steamboat company, stationed off the middle breakwater, broke from her moorings and was carried quite a distance to the eastward before fetch was in charge of the lightship and as he has sent no word to the steamboat company the vessel is probably in no danger.

GEMS TO BE WORN.
Authoritative and Valuable Opinion on
the Subject.

Pearls are most certainly the favor
tie gems of the moment, and are a
profitable investment, for, though
they are rising in price daily, they
will 60 very much higher, and mount
steadily, too, says one of the most
noted jewelers. firms in London.
The rage for pearl ropes created a
demand, and now collars are as eager
ly asked for. The price Of necklet
of Ave rows matching in size and
color is about $32,5O0, or $4,000 a
string, counting in this the value of
the diamond clasp at the back of the
ornament.
For a pair of black pearls to match
perfectly, the price might be as high
as $4,000 for the two single pearls,
while one alone would only be 81 800.
The reason of such an astonishing
fact is that black pearls are exceed
ingly difficult to match perfectly as
to size and color.
Chains of diamonds are exceeding
ly smart, and are set in rims of sill
yer, each stone separately. Very high
up. indeed, second to pearls, are en-
eralds, in the estimation of society.
A good large single emerald, suit
able for a ring or the center stone of
a diamond pendant, would cost 3d.
500 A single ruby of the precious
pigeons blood color would cost 49,
$50, a sapphire of the same size
$1,75O.
Among rings the marquise shape,
composed of one stone, is a novelty
likely to become very modish. 1t
used to be worn on the index finger.
1t is now not liked on that one, since
its appearance is awkward and af-
fected. The wedding ring has not
altered materially in shape for some
time. 1t should be neither very broad
nor very narrow to be smart; a me-
dunn size is the correct one.
Since pearls are superstitiously
held to signify tears, they are by some
people deemed unluclzy for the be-
trothal badge, but opals are so fire.
quently asked for that in the opinion
of those in authority they are at last
lifted out of the slough of displeasure

Ladies as well as gentlemen greatly
like beast and bird jewelry. There
was very large demand for live tor
toises a little time ago in Paris, worn
by smart women on their corsages.

A Lover Of the Fighting Birds
of the South.

fancy. While we see the poultry
journals covering the field of all
other breeds com blned, we see a
dozen or more devoted exclusive
ly to games, and they are widely
circulated, extensively read and
enthusiastically supported by
both subscribers and advertis-
ers.
Now, why is this the case? Is
the inspiration in the bird or in
the man? Is it mercenary mo-
tive that incites the patrons of
these game journals to such en-
thusiastic action? We believe it
is not.
We believe that the inspiring
incentive rests both with the adj
mirer and the admired, the fan
cier and the fancied, the lover
and the loved, the man and the
bird. We believe the love, ad-
miration and devotion are Unborn
and inherent in the human breast,
or in many human breasts. 1t
is not quality of the rich, the
lordly, the educated, the aristo-
cratic or the regal. Among the
devotees will be found men in the
ordinary vocations of life, uned-
ucated, not wealthy, not high
born. Whatever the station the
sentiment and love are the same.
Each lover and admirer will, to
the extent of his ability, have
the best; hence it is a matter of
means or circumstances.
This love for this noble bird
has created the demand, and
hence the advertisements, the
journals and the traffic.
But the love for the sport and
the excitement caused by the
contests and wagers in the pit
give the most enthusiastic i'm
pulse and greatest zest to the
sport. A man who backs his
birds feels a deeper and keener
interest than that induced by the
mere money staked. Judgment,
honor, reputation and ambition
are at stake. The mere ques-
tons Of dollars and cents are
small compared with the reputa-
ton and judgment of a true
cocker. His faith and his iudg-
nent in his fowls and their Sc
ection are at stake in the issue.
Even in the sale of fowls are
Judgment and reputation at
stake. He who would preserve
both must look we'll to his lau-
els.
A man who will permit his
owe for money to influence him
% sell inferior or ordinary spec
mems will find he will be the |
oser in the end, and those very |
specimens will be a living dis
honor and disadvantage to his
uture prospects. But he who
prizes his judgment and reputa-
ion above the small item of the
price of a fowl will always en-
leavor to send better birds for
he money received than de-
'cribed or offered, and hence
lis reputation will be improved
md his prospects frightened,
nd his business will build up.
The mating, breeding and
caring of game fowls is scien-
ific field for the most acute and
experiment, research
nd ambition. This field is
