Omitting the cost of water and the
products Of the soda fountains, the
American Grocer estimates that the
national drink bill" for beverages of
all kinds amounted last year to more
than twelve hundred and twenty
eight million dollars. Alcoholic lic-
uors account for more than a billion
dollars; coffee, for one hundred and
twenty-five millions; tea for thirty
seven millions, and cocoa for six mil
lions. Statistics are given to show
that our consumption of alcohol is not
increasing, and this, of course. is a
thing to be thankful for; but the seri-
GUS fact remains, that for these bever-
ages-some of which are unnecessary
and others distinctly harmful-there is
squandered every year money enough
to provide the comforts of life for all
who are in misery.

A remarkable flint bowlder has been
discovered in England. In a cavity
within the bowlder was found full
grown toad, which must, when young
have entered the hole in the stone by
small aperture. There the unfortu.
nate prisoner waxed to adolescence
and probably may have died of chag-
rim that he had delayed his exit toe
long, for the hole afterward became
silted up. The bowlder was exhibited
recently before the Linnean society
and is eventually to be placed in the
Brighton museum.

Short Skirts in Favnr

CUSTOM OF WEARING
EARRINGS REVIVED

The revival Of the old custom Of wear
ing earrings has prompted Sir Edwin
Arnold, the well-known poet TO write for
the London Telegraph an interesting ar
ticle on the history Of these baubles. He
says:
1T must be confessed that the taste
IN earrings Of the respected grandmoth-
ers and mothers of the present genera
ton was sadly in the direction of the
overponderous and Snowy.
at was the custom under George "
William ", and in the early Victorian
era to set swinging on either side of
the feminine head long cylinders of gold
or coral or other material, or else abso-
lutely massive conglomerations of jewels
and enamels.
Sometimes the effect was very splen-
did; sometimes merely barbaric; but
never except with special styles Of
beauty, really artistic.
Those who have chung to the old
habit in later years seem wisely to have
discarded such half-savage moues, and to
content themselves with the undoubted
ly pretty display which a beautiful jewel
makes in well-shaped lobe.
Many and many such daintily graced
female ears have been and may be at
all times seen; but holder step appears
TO have been recently taken by the mys-
ferrous power which issues the DEGREES
of fashion.
Large earrings are being again worn,
which incline to take the special form
of gold or platinum, generally lightly and
elegantly set with one lustrous gem.
'Solitaires an isolated diamond,
sapphire, or pearl, mounted an jour
upon a delicate stud, come more and
more into vogue, and there is even
marked return to the elongated pendants
and jeweled tassels which used to swing
on either cheek Of Georgian and Victor
IAN loneliness.
Nay, there are once more seen at
social gatherings ladies proud to display
the massive but sumptuous ear-orna-
ments which have heard love-secrets
whispered to long-vanished DANES and
damsels; and briefly, in commercial
parlance, the earring trade has been
looking up
This naturally revives the old con-
