FALSE JEWELS POPULAR.

Manufactures of imitation jeweIry
have lately met with such great sue
cess that it is said the sale of genuine
jewelry in this city is less than ever
before, and it is also said on good au-
thority that large amounts of capital
are soon to be invested in the manu-
facture of imitation jewelry, says the
New York Evening Post. For some
time past it has been possible to obtain
imitation jewelry in France and Eng
land which is difficult of detection by
experts; but the business has never be-
fore been taken UP in this country to
any great extent.
The principal manufacturers expect
to deal in jewels of their own manu-
facture, which are said to be extraor-
dinarily fine limitations OF the real
stones, and will have a guaranteed life
Of 20 years. The diamonds" are
composition of glass, lead and carbon,
tipped with platinum, which is harder
than gold. Every real stone, except
a diamond, is transparent; without the
tip of platinum there diamonds" would
also be transparent, but with it they are
given an undetectable resemblance to
the genuine stone. These goods are
mounted in 14-carat gold, and so artis-
tically that, when worn, the platinum
tipping cannot be seen. An infinite
variety OF designs. copied from the best
real models, are shown. and at price
which is about so per cent. less than
the genuine.
All the colored stones-rubies, sap
phires, emeralds and turquoises-are
also manufactured in like way. and
are similar, with the exception Of the
turquoise, to the doublet, except that
they are much harder and are made
on the stone AS genuine pearls are

the most costly of gems. so do the imita-
ton pearls take the lead in price. They
are made made of fshskin and a secres
composition. The manufacture OF somaf
especially good imitation pearls, known
as Venetian pearls" is a lost art, the
process having been invented by poor
Venetian, whose secret died with him.,
There are about 10000 OF them in this
country, bought in Paris about 10 years
ago; they are very hard, can be stepped
on without sustaining the slightest in-
jury, and will also bounce like rubber
ball. The difficulty in the manufacture
of pearls is in obtaining the orient, or
luster, similar to the genuine gems, and
it is said that very often out Of 10000
manufactured few Will be marketable,
and they are almost as difficult to
match for necklaces as the real. A dog
collar of imitation pearls. with "dia-'
mond" clasps, would cost about $3.50.
1t is said that most of the imitation
jewel business done is with refined wo-
men of wealth, who have their genuina
pearls copied, or buy novel design
which serves the purpose of fad as
well as the genuine.

WHAT CONSTITUTES
BEAUTY IN A CHILD.
New York.

In what does the beauty of a child
consist, and how can such beauty be
obtained Is it in the hair, in the teeth,
in the manners or in something on
which all these are dependent-good
health?
The hair should be cut at the ends
every month to promote the growth.
1t should be washed every two weeks
and should be brushed every night and
morning to make it soft and silky.
If the child's teeth are irregular and
inclined to decay, do not delay in TAX
ing it to a dentist. The teeth of a child
require great care and should be clean
ed every morning and at night on put
ting the little one to bed. The teeth
should also be cleaned after each meal.
child may be born with personal
beauty, but good manners are ecquired;
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-09-20

yet, without the good manners, the
child's beauty will be little admired.
The mother must strive to teach her
child those early lessons in gentility
that no after training can ever equal in
value.
A mother cannot expect good health
in a child unless she follows hygienic
rules. The child should be put to bed
at o'clock in the evening after it has
eaten light meal of bread and milk
or porridge. The sleeping rooms
should be well ventilated, with south
ern exposure.
A child ought to rise at o'clock in
the morning and have a light break
fast consisting of a soft boiled egg
and toast. With this, it may have a
glass Of milk diluted with water, but
tea and coffee should never be given
to it.
A great mistake made by American
mothers is that they allow the chill
dren the same food that they them
selves take, and the delicate stomachs
of the little ones are disastrously called
on to do the same work as those of
grown persons.
What food should child be given?
Plenty Of milk, soft boiled eggs, toast
and a moderate amount of fruit in sea-
son. Very little meat should be served
to it and that only at noon. All kinds
Of vegetables that are in season are
proper food. Broths are nourishing
and buildings made of milk and eggs.
1t would be better for childrens stom-
achs if they did not know what nuts
and candies were.
If mothers would rear their children
according to this regime, dyspepsia
would not be so alarmingly on the in
crease.
1 was brought up according to the
above plan, and in my fiftieth year
can eat anything in the way of food
without feeling any effects. Moreover,
it has preserved my health and strength
in way that surprises all those who
know me. All this l owe to my moth
er's careful attention to my diet when
1 was child.

and il one were to introduce two Of
ones intimate friends, one would nat
urally expect them to shake hands.
1t is the privilege Of lady to be the
first to offer to shake hands when a
gentleman is introduced to her. When
two ladies are introduced, and one is of
higher rank than the other, it would
be an act of friendliness on the part OF
the lady of higher rank to offer to
shake hands.
At dinner parties the hostess uses
her discretion as to the introductions
she thinks proper to make. In this
case it is not necessary to ask lady
whether she may introduce to her the
gentleman who is to take her down to
dinner, supposing they were not ac-
quainted. 1t is not necessary to intro
duce wholesale at dinner party, but
when the majority are unacquainted,
the host and hostess should introduce
some OF the most important guests to
one another before they enter the din
ing room. After the dinner is over the
hostess may introduce ladies to each
other in the drawing room, if she
thinks it advisable to do so.

HINTS ON ETIQUETTE.

1t is very important that discrimina-
ton should be used in introducing peo-
pie to one another, for an undesired in
PRODUCTION compels the person to whom
it is unwelcome to treat the other with
the greatest GOODNESS, or to continue an
undesired acquaintance. AS a general
rule, it is better to introduce too little
than too much, for ones friends can
ask one 10 introduce them to one an
other, so that ones shortcomings in
this respect may always be made good
Should the smallest doubt exist as to
whether a meditated introduction will
be agreeable, one should consult the
wishes of both persons concerned be-

The unvarying rule in making an in

be presented to the lady without refer
ence to rank. This is a privilege of
sex, and disregarding it shows at once
a want of social knowledge.
When the introduction has been
made. it is usual for the lady and gen
tleman, or the two ladies, to bow and
to make some little remark. 1t is not
usual to shake hanoi. but there are
many occasions when This would be
quite correct. For instance, it is al

WHILE WE NAY.

The hands are such dear hands;
They are so full; they turn at our demands
So often. they reach out
With trifles scarcely thought about,
So many games; they'd do
SO many things for me, for you-
If their fond wills mistake,
We may well bend, not break.
They are such fond, frail lips
That speak to us. Pray, iflovc strips
Them Of discretion many times,
Or if they speak too slow or quick, such
crimes
We may pass by; for we may see
Days not far off when those small words
may be
Held not as slow, or quick, or out of
place, but dear.
Because the lips that spoke are no more
here.
They are such dear, familiar feet that go
Along the path with ours-itet fast or
slow,
And trying to keep pace-if they mistake
Or tread upon some flower that we
would take
Upon our breast or hruisc some reed,
Or crush poor hope until it bleed,
We may be mute,
Not turning quickly to imputc
Grave fault; for they and we
Haye such a little way to go-can be
Together such little while along thewav,
We will be patient while we may.
So many little faults we find,
We see them: for not blind
Is love. We see them: but if you and
Perhaps remember them by and by,
They will not be
Faults then-grave faults-to youan line
But just odd ways-mistakes or even
Remcmbranccs to bliss.
Days change so many things-yes, hours.
We see so differently in sun and showers,
Mistaken words to night
May be so cherished by tomorrow light,
We will be patient, for we know
There's such little way to go.

CHAUNCY AND BOB.

Everybody knows Chauncy Depew. He has
been as we'll advertised as Bob Ingersoll, and
belongs to the same family of birds, the differ.
ence being in the color of the plumage. Chaun-
cy is Pharisee who stands on the street cor
ner to pray, and he always thanks God that he
is not as other men. Ingersol is roaring
Sadducee, who believes there is no resurrection
of the dead. Chauncy made money as fist
president of the Vanderbilt railway system, on
salary of $4,000 per annum. Ingersoll made
money exposing the "Mistakes of Moses"
Both men are after "widows houses; or, in
other words, prey upon their fellow beings, the
difference being that Chauncy has the grosser
appetite. Chauncy is now great politician
and senator from New York.
Chauncy is practical. He would have new
political organization. His scheme embraces
no less movement than the banding together
of all the railway and telegraph employees for
the purpose of resisting railway legislation. 1t
is big thing. Over one million men are in
the employ of the railroad and telegraph cor
porations. If Chauncy had the organization,
he would have million votes III his vest peck
Ell, and could not only thank God on the street
corner, but could also snap his fingers at the
Devil.
Mr.. Ingersol has spent most of his valuable
life on the "Mistakes of Moses" but recently
he took lay off to bolster up the mistakes of
Mckinley. Ingerso is an expansionst but
he is so partial, or purb'ind, as TO approve in
Mckinley what he condemns in Moses. Moses
was so radical in his expansion views that he
commanded the Israelites to kill the inhabitants
of the land of Canaan, and take their land,
cattle and household goods. Mckinley may
not be so radical, but Ingersoll failed to observe
that the forcible seizure of the Philippines is
parallel to the seizure of the land of the Canaan
ties.
Ingersoll thinks that the Louisiana Purchase,
the acquisition of Texas and California and the
purchase of Alaska are parallel, but he is very
unfortunate in his argument, since the territory
referred to was all contiguous, and mostly ac-
quired peaceably, and where not peaceably
acquired, annexation was asked, and all rights
guaranteed by the constitution were at once
conferred upon the people received.
Chauncy is making mistakes; so is Ingersol;
and some of these times Moses will have rest,
