Precious Stones Go Up.

The tendency Of prices Of precious
stones has been upward for more than
three years, and it is to be assumed as
certain that they will be maintained
all along the line. Pearls are very
high in price. The patience of the
Chinese and East Indians who send
pearls to Europe for sale is proverbial
They do not part with them until they
are paid their own prices. This also
explains why pearls have within the
last 100 years only risen. but never
fallen, in price.
Large rubies are very rare today
and are bought at almost fabulous
prices.
Emeralds are seen in plenty in in
ferior qualities, but the medium and
fine grades, especially in current sizes
are rare and bring high prices.

Paris's Helen Keller.

A woman we have been extremely
interested in lately. or young girl
rather, is Marie Heurtin, French
Helen Keller, but even more wonderful
than Helen Kellar, since the latter lost
the senses of sight, speech and hearing
at the age of IS months. so thatthe two
senses left may be aided by unconscious
cerebration, based upon early impress
sions or unconscious memory Of i'm
pressions gained before these senses
disappeared. Marie Heurtin, however,
unlike Laura Bridgman, Helen Keslar or
Martha Obrech. was born deaf, dumb
and blind. Up to the time when she was
ten years old she was apparently not
only completely idiotic, but also
most impossible little person who lay
down on the ground and rolled at the
slightest thing which displeased her,
shrieked for hours together, only
slapped people if they tried to show
her any tenderness, and was altogether
so violent that she was sent away from
two institutions for deaf mutes, and
passed on to the nuns at Larnay as a
perfect little savage for whom 1t was
quite useless to try to do anything.
know of no more fascinating story
than that of the means by which these
devoted sisters first tanned the little
shrew, then taught her. Sister st. Mar
guerite it was who gave her her first
idea. Marie Heurtin had brought
away with her little knife, which she
seemed to love- Sister st. Marguerite,
who had got the child's confidence in
way, took away the knife, max
ing meanwhile in the hand OF
the little girl the sign which in the
deaf and dumb language means knife.
Then the knife was put back into her
hand with the same sign. After time
Marie Heurtin began to comprehend
that there was a connection between
the sign and the object. From the
knife Sister st. Marguerite went on to
repeat the same experience with the
fruits the little girl liked best.-Har-

Prairie Dogs Western Pests.

The destructive prairie dog is him
self to be DESTROYED by an act OF con-
gress. Hundreds of acres OF cattle
range in western Kansas are being
ruined by these little creatures.
And now Representative Cone OF
Haskell county, has introduced bill
asking for $4,000 to buy poison with
which to kill off the entire prairie dog
population. In many western counties
the mounds in which the dogs live
are scattered by hundreds over the
prairies, and these mounds are the
homes of countless thousands of the
rodents.
The dogs burrow into the ground and
gnaw the roots Of buffalo grass, the
principal food of the great cattle herds
of the west.
The prairie dog is not the only pest
with which governments have had to
carry on warfare In Australia the
lack rabbits have caused such destruc-
ton of the grass that the people 60
out in-geat parties and make jack rab-
bit round ups, or drives. Thousands
are killed in these drives, but still the
creatures increase.

French camelshair serge is one OF
the popular materials for the spring
tailcr-made gown.
Silk and linen mixtures in dainty
colorings and strips are among the
new fabrics for shirtwaists.
For wear with gown of light, then

with deep yoke, as the gathers OF the
orher kind show through.
Drap de kar is new material for
shirtwaists. It is a soft woo!en, some
thing like a very fine cashmere, and
comes in various lovely shades.
Evening gloves with embroidered
eyelets and facing at the top are one
Of the new fads, and it seems to be a
useful one for keeping the gloves up
at the top. ;,
Long ostrich plumes are now split,
then rolled over ropes or swathing of
tulle, which lie on top Of the hat brim.
This genre for evening wear has a
crown of gold embroidered tulle, and
is made upon a net frame.
Swiss muslins in great variety are
displayed in the shops, some with
very realistic designs in large flowers,
others embroidered with white, black
or the same color as the garment, and
without limit as to patterns.
Some of the pretty new muslins are
printed in all-over designs with me-
aallion effects, while other cotton fab
RIGS show both cashmere designs and
colors. As for the new batistes. they
are prettier than ever, especially the
embroidered varieties.
Large Leghorn hats. dropping in
front and back, are said to be feature
of the coming millinery for summer.
They have high crowns enci-cled by
roses arranged in a stiff manner, and
a soft ribbon caught on the edge of the
brim in front is carried to the edge of
the brim in the back. where it is tied
in a bow.

sbirtwaists Continue in Favor.

The shirtwaist seems to have been
adopted as a permanent part Of the
American woman's outfit. The pre-
dictions made each year by cynical OBJ
servers have never been borne out by
facts. This year the leading modistes
of not only this country. but Of the
great foreign centres Of fashion, report
as large an assortment Of these simple
and convenient garments as ever be-
fore. Already new designs for the
early and middle spring are in the mar
ket; and, beyond these, may be stud
led the creations which are to be worn
next July. For spring wear. the tend
ency is toward silks and silk mixtures.
There is already q notable variety in
these attractive textiles. Taffeta, wash
silk, corded silk. China and Japan
silk, Louisine and several French COM
binations of silk with other tissues are
upon the counters, and have won
merited praise. In decorative treat
ment, there is larger latitude than last

it with rich ornamental effects. This

Panels Of Velvet.

Cloth skirts a la mode have entire
breadths of dark .colored velvet let in
to them, as deep panels from the waist
band to the hem. The panels are skill
fully gored, and are quite narrow at
the top, SO as to avoid giving the wear
er clumsey churn-like aspect. Seal
brown velvet is let into a. cloth gown
OF the same color. The most frequent
example is seen in the black cieth
gown. If only two panels are used one
would occupy the front or middle
breadth, and the other the middle Of
the back. This effect, however, Is not
nearly so good as where the back
breadth is of cloth. If three panels
are used one would be in front and
two at the sides. A single panel In
front is better than the two described
above. You could have two panels look
well if you arranged them each one
side Of the front middle breadth. Put
no lace insertions or medallions nor
any braid trimming, gilt or otherwise,
upon the velvet skirt panels. They are
intended to be perfectly plain.

is noticeable in many details There Is
q larger use of stripes, dots, figures
and geometrical patterns in the dress
goods. Lace stripes and insertions,
embroidery in silk floss, tucks and
pleats, straps and other ornaments are
finding much more generous employ
ment. While this. in the main, makes
the spring shirtwaist more expensive
than formerly, it is more attractive
and satisfactory to the wearer. Thus
far there has been no great change in
the cut and general effect of the waist.
In many the yoke has been given up;
in others there has been adopted a
slight swell or bouffante toward the
belt, suggesting modified Russian
blouse effect so popular a few years
ago.

rba Rank of Enyiaud's Garden.

Visitors to the inner courts Of the
bank of England are surprised to find
a beautiful garden hidden away from
the dust of the city by those frowning
black walls that gaze on Threadnee-
die street. Just now the rhododen-
drons are in full bloom. and with the
sparkling fountain in the centre pre-
sent a scene Of much delight to the
eye.
This garden of the bank was once
the churchyard of the St. Christopher
le-Stocks, a city church which was
pulled down a century ago to extend
the bank premises. 1t got its name
from the stocks market which once oc-
cupied the site of the Mansion House
opposite, and this in its turn was 50
named from the city stocks that stood
there.
This 1uiet garden was very busy IN
1S4S during the Chartist scare. Sand
bags were piled up here in readiness
to strengthen the walls, and regulars
and volunteers assembled among the
flower beds to repel the attack that
never came.
The windows overlooking the gar
den are those Of the courtroom OF the
bank.-London Star.

Not what H6 Needed.

A Walnut Hill resident made up his
mind few days ago to begin taking
ice from the local ice trust. Having
various brands of bottled goods in his
refrigerator, he thought it best to have
the ice man leave the ice on the back
porch. Accordingly he came down
town one morning, and, dropping into
a hardware store, purchased pair Of
ice tongs.
"I'm going to carry my own ice into
the house and put it into my refrigera-
tor" he said in explanation of bis pur-
chase.
Two or three days later he again
entered the store, bringing the ice
tongs with him. Walking up to the
clerk who had sold him the tongs, the
man said:
"Say, I made a mistake when l
bought these things. l don't. need a
pair of ice tongs; what I need is a
sponge."-Omaha World-Herald.

Why Some Women Become Nur,es,


The work Of learning to be nurse
Is not easy, as those novices find who
enter the training school from comfort
able and even luxurious homes. Many
motives impel the choice of this pro-
fession, apart from the woman's nat
nral learning to kind deeds and the
need of earning q living. Sometimes a
saman takes upon herself the long
training service because she feels that
hers is rather useless life and ought
to be made at least capable of useful
ness! whether or not she goes on with
nursing as a profession in after years.
1t is, said that this class Of students
learn the hardest and most disagree
able duties with a sort of radiant
brightness in their daily rounds that
does not shine upon the faces Of those
who put less Imagination and more
practical necessity into the work. The
presence of an ideal illumines almost
any occupation.
