Fewer rings are to be noticed among her productions, perhaps, than any oth- CT ornament, the betrothal rings being almost universally enamelled gold, but earrings necklaces, bracelets, chains, battons, small pins and brooches are abundant.
 These lapidaries combine the ability of the Moorish gem worker with the pa tience and originality of the Chinese and Japanese craftsman, because they are adept enamellers, and sacrifice even design to color in this branch of their work, and in all of their jewelry a daintiness and personality, altogether irresistibly attractive, are felt. The longer one looks the more he becomes convinced that the display before him is the expression of mind, the out come of personal art, and this belief is wholly satisfying for, above all else, it is an undenable fact that jewel should be unique.
 While it is undoubtedly true that we can teach our new Oriental colonists much in methods and ways, yet it is also likewise doubtless fact, that we of the Occident can also learn from them, and probably with profit to both. JeWeller.

A Lamentable TRAGEDY.

This morning, about 8 o'clock, three
children of H. S. Clyde were playing
in an upper room of the family resi-,
dence, on Eastside, near the reservoir.
A report was heard and on2rushing up
stairs, the little two-year-old son was
found lying on the floor with a gun
shot wound through the heart. 1t is
surmised that the children had taken
a repeating shotgun which stood in
the corner of the room and were play
ing with it, the little boy standing at
the muzzle, when it was accidentally
discharged. Death must have been in.
Simultaneous. The children are too
young to give explicit details, and
much is, of course, left to surmise.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
afternoon, at 2 O'Clock, from the NJ. E.
Church.
