ered something to be proud Of, while
an amethyst alone, set with twelve

Long diamonds, which we are begin.
ming to revive, and which weighed two
and one-half to three grains, were very
much in vogue for drops" as they
were called, to stomacher pieces, as
well as earrings. A pair oi diamond
earrings with moderate drops sold
then for $2S. Garnet earrings and
drops were also much worn, and so
were gold ones set with "turky,"
which was the simplifcation of tur-
quoise. Mourning rings were the mod.
ish thing, and carnellan ones had fine
favor with the masses, while carnelian
seals, together with 2adlocks in gold
and silver swung from watch chains
and ribbons, and so did much-wrought
watch keys. Children born with gold
spoons In their mouths were decked

lockets set with pearls and emeralds.-.

The Thrifty Swedes
Theirs q Land Of Schools and
Steady Habits.

William E. Curtis, correspondent
of the Chicago Record Herald, who
has been spending considerable time
in Sweden, writes entertainingly
about the people Of that country.
All that pertains to the life of the
Swedish people is particularly in
teresting in this country, for i'm
migrants from that nation have
come to America in large numbers,
and are a most important element in
the general population, particularly
in that of the West.
It is especially interesting to note
that while Sweden is engaged to a
very considerable extent in manu-
featuring, it is almost entirely free
from labor disturbances Such things
as strikes are almost unknown. The
relations of labor and capital have
been long established, and their
notifications have gradual and sight
The labor day is usually even hours,
and there is little complaint about
the time required. The wages are
pretty we'll defind by law, but the
principal reason for the stability Of
these relations is that there is no
foreign element to contend with.
Places are handed down from gen
GRAFTON to generation in the various
establishment, the son taking the
place of the father A great many |
Swedes emigrate, but very few
foreigners immigrate. There is no
welcome for foreign laborers, When
they present themselves they are
regarded with suspicion. They must
be prepared to give complete
account of themselves. They must
tell where they have been employed
and why they have left their places
Of employment. It is exceedingly
difficult for them to secure work.
There is no illiterate class in
Sweden. Education is compulsory
TO the age of fourteen. Those above
hat age who are unable to read Or
write are only such as are too stupid
% learn, or to remember what has
oeen taught. All Swedes acquire
some. useful and practical trade or
Ealing. It is considered inexcusable
o permit boy to arrive at manhood
some accomplishment which
viii enable him to take his place
lmong those who are selfsustaining
This widely distributed effort to
project the race to the point Of SELF
,elp has given the Swedish people
he reputation of being conspicuous
y industrious and provident The
percentage of illiteracy is smaller
han in any other country in the
world, being less than per cent of
he population, although Denmark
md Norway are nearly on plane
With Sweden in this respect.
In this country the Swedish ele-
nent has made great progress in re.

Annther PIN Yarn.

Dibslam Ailuce, being familiar with
the story of the man who picked up a
pin and therefore found employment
that led to a fortune, went to Maj.
OBierne cooked and primed for any
thing that happened to be lying on the
floor, says the New York Press. He
had excellent letters from the majors
particular friends, and felt sure of
job, but wanted, naturally, to make
a good impression. Unfortunately the
only object lying around loose was
pin on the Administer near the corner
of the desk of the director in eighteen
corporations the president of three and
the promoter of thirty. Ailuce intro
duced himself and picked it up.

no use for it, sir Neither have l.
Throw 1t in the waste basket. Now
sit down and I'll tell you something"
The major has a reputation for talk

a high authority on the famous pin
story" he went on. THE young man
who picked it UP and died million
aire buried his wife in a shoe box be-
cause he was too mean to buy cof-
fin. He lived a great many years ago,
and were worth saving. But just at
this stage of civilization the United
States alone is manufacturing 100000
900 pins a day, or about 10000, 000,0 900
year-enough to allow $50 pins per an
mum to every man, woman and child
of our population. You do not use
dozen a year; neither do /. The cost
of a pin of the very best quality is
about one-fifth of mill. mill is
one OF the littlest things in the world,
and a million is one of the biggest.
The ION makes all the difference.
Now, my young friend, you let the mill
alone and go for the million. Take care
of your millions and your mills will
take care of themselves. / am going
to give you a place in this office, but
