Tho Return of the Cameo.

Old-fashioned canoes are now in the
hight of fashion. as is almost every
kind of Jewel that boasts of antiquity.
Canoes are worn as ornaments and
figure in belts and bands in the latest
embroideries. Many of the old-fash-
ioned brooches with huge jewels in the
center, which we have abjured with
vengeance, are coming back to us, not
to wear as a brooch, but in combina-
ton with leather. velvet or chiffon in
the ornamentation of dress. Among
the choicest new jewels are pendants
of dull rough gold with imbedded jew
els and pendants of natural pearls or
bits of turquoise suspended by tiny
gold links The color combinations in
many OF these ornaments are rich and
exquisite.

An automobile savings bank is the
latest French novelty. The authorities
of Mezieres. wishing to encourage
thrift among the peasants, have had
it built to specifications. 1t is an cleo
trio motor-car containing four seats,
one for the driver and three in the
rear arranged arounu a small table.
Folding shelves make a convenient
desk for a person standing beside the
venicle. Under the table is a small
safe. The passengers are two clerks
from the local treasury department
and cashier The car travels about
the country, making short stops in the
villages on prearranged days. and re-
ceiving such sums as the citizens or
farmers of the neighborhood may wish
to deposit. So far. however, the limo
walton mas met little encouragement.
The peasants seem distrustful of the
agility of the bank. and disinclined to
draw out the old stocking from its hid
ing place under the hearthstone.

His Work Done.

The nation mourns as one which has
suffered a great loss, but loss which
is not irreparable. His work has
been, to great extent, accomplished.
OF the problems which confronted him
when he was elected, or which have
arisen since his election, nearly all
have been happily solved by him.

All Friday and Friday night S0.000,-
900 of Americans stood in thought and
heart at the bedside of their dying
President. A simple people, devoid of
the arts which in other lands are used
to decorate the emotions. they knew
only how to sorrow in silence and hope
that the impending blow would be
spared.
In his daily life the President of the
United States is mercy its first citi-
zen-a plain man in plain clothes. ac-
cessible to other plain men in plain
clothes. By virtue Of his Office he is
only the foremost among his equals,
and as such he meets his fellow citi
zens without claiming or expecting
from them the studied Difference or os-
tentatious affection which is so sedu-
lously displayed In the capitals Of
other lands.

The sword, which has had SO long
and so distinguished a military record.
has been placed on the retired list.
British army authorities have decided
that in the future unmounted officers
shall carry carbines instead of swords
during manoeuvers and in active serv-
ice. The decision is the result of eN-
perience gained in the war in South
Africa. The sword is not only use
less as a weapon, except in close
quarters. but it serves as mark to
distinguish the officer from his men.
He thus becomes n target for the en-
emy's sharpshooters. and when the
private soldiers have small power of
initiative. as is the case in most Euro
pean armies the loss of a large num-
ber of officers may mean disaster. The
passing of the sword is one of the
signs of the changed conditions OF
war.

Death Caused by Heart Trouble.
The President heart gave trouble
from the beginning, but its erratic ac-
tion was at first thought to be due to
the shock of the wound, but when the
would had begun to progress favorably
the heart gave more trouble and anxi-
ETY. than ever. Its action became feeble
and finally gave out altogether.
The Presidents death was due to
heart exhaustion. but some of the
physicians do not believe there was
organic heart trouble. The theory of
at least one of the physicians is that
the original shock of the first bullet
over the heart had much to do with
the trouble which caused death.
Slayer Saved by Darkness.
A noticeable theme of comment was
occasioned by the hour at which the
death occurred. 1t partook somewhat
of the providential that the event
should have come in the dead Of
night instead of the early evening,
when the thousands who gathered on
the streets OF the city were in no ten
der mood. Had the death come ear
lier it is possible that the authorities
would have had to cope with more or
less violence.
Crowes Surround jail.
During the early part of the evening
crowds began to gather about the sta
tion-house, where the assassin, Czol-
gosz, was confined, and the purpose OF
their gathering was at no time mys-
terious. People gathered rapidly,
who openly declared they intended to
lynch the assassin, il the President
died. ..l
The authorities were fully alive to
the situation and agents of the secret
service reported tnat the people were
excited beyond measure. There were
not only the people of Buffalo, indig-
nant at the disgrace to their city, but
strangers, who had no neighborly re-
spect for the local authorities.
Gov. odell pacted promptly and gave
orders to protect the jail Thus the
assassin was safe from penalty for
the miserable death he had dealt out
to the President.

There is a reverse side to the sem
blance Of luxury expressed by the mir
rors. the gliding. the velvet carpets of
many apartment and boarding houses.
The head of the lace department in a
great store recently spent her two
weeks vacation IN a hospital. She
laughed at the idea of being i'll or even
nervous; but she was tired, and for
ten years had not slept in a real bed.
In one apartment house, in order to
keep her room fitted to receive callers.
she slept on a sofa that opened in the
middle, and had neither sides nor foot
board. Six out of seven nights the
covers pulled off her feet. At another
place her folding bed fell on her and
nearly killed her. SO she traded it for
a narrow divan, from which pillows
and blankets slipped off nightly. At
the hospital she finally found a bed
wide enough to sleep in crosswise. a
bed by day as well as by night, bed
tuckable, with a bolster and counter
pane: and she stayed in it for two
weeks. In countless cases the make
believe bed is the symbol of sham
and comfortless existence for which
apartment life is largely responsible.
A farmer living at the village of
Doussac, France. was seen to fall to
the ground. and on n subsequent ex-
animation by a medical man he was
pronounced to be dead. Arrangements
for his funeral were in progress. and
the man had been placed in his cof-
fin, when he suddenly recovered con
sciousness. Sitting up in his coffin.
he so terrified the watchers that they
fled shrieking. This in turn seems to
have terrified the man, for he was
next seen running in his grace clothes
towards a neighboring wood, gesdcu-
lating as though bereft Of reason.

The Struggle with Death.
The Presidents turn for the worse
came at o'clock on Friday morning,
and it was almost exactly lwenty-four
hours later before the last flicker of
life had died away. 1t was the heart
which failed early in the morning fol-
