Mime. ii umbert's Jewels.

In Paris the curious are thrOnglng to
see the jewels Of Nine. Humbert, which
have been placed on exhibition, and by
their splendor adorn the tale of how a
clever woman fooled nation, if they
do not point very obvious moral. TO
be sure, Madame now is fugitive and
is separated from her jewels, but she
had them and enjoyed them for many
a day. There are i'm the collection two
magnificent dog collars of pearls, one
with fifteen rows and the other with
six. She was fond of novelties, and
had an ape with a magic lantern in an
enameled brooch, cocks in diamonds,
swallows and parrots in brilliants, a
horse, dog jumping through a hoop,
house and rabbit in gold, set with
bfilliants. An ornament for the hair
represented horn of plenty, and dog
collar OF unusual design had gold sea.

impressive than the jewels is the colec-

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

New York, Aug. I.-Bradstreets to'
morrow will say:
Trade is quiet, while attention Is coil'
centrated on crop and industrial devel'
opments. Generally lower prices toI
farm products point to the former being
largely favorable. Though weather con
ditlonS OF late have been more favorable,
effects OF earlier backward weather have
not been effaced or repaired. AS foi
the fall and winter outlook, however
the best is predicted. In industrial al
fairs the outlook is certainly satisfac'
tory. The iron and steel situation is
still largely strong one, but isolated
examples OF weakness are in sight. ItN
, railway situation is one Of the best Ir
years, and the outlook as to tonnage Is
hattering one, married only by the
prospect OF car shortages later on, re-
duc:rg or curtailing industrial opera
tons. Fiscal year earning returns are
exceptionally good, and it is probable
that taken as whole the railway earn.
ings for the half year will exceed 1901.
Cotton has weakened quite steadily on
reports OF good growing crop condi'
tons, though rain and food damage re.
ports from Texas helped to steady
prices on some days. Dry goods trade
reports are quiet. Some improvement
is noted at Eastern markets, but the fali
iobbing trade proves to be later than
usual in arriving Some weakness in
sheetings and other cottons is noted IN
wholesale circles.
Hardware is active, especially foi
building. The 1901 record OF building
will be surpassed this year. Lumber /:

Gloves are shorter than they were,

buttons, and even the one-button length
for the long sleeves, and with the pref
erence in favor Of the wash kid-mOre
expensive to start, but, as the name i'm
plies, capable of being constantly kept
clean. There are to wear with elbow
sleeves, which still continue in favor,
long gloves of glace or Suede in all
the light colors. White is preferred. al
though with light gray gown or q
very light tan it is fad Of this season
to have the gloves Of the same shade.
TO wear with tailor gowns or for the
ordinary street gown. a heavy tan kid
is considered quite the best and smart
est. Gloves are worn larger than they
were, fashion especially adapted to
warm weather, but also practical for
the heavier kinds.-Harper's Bazaar.

The Rest Cure.

What makes people tired is not over
work, but Recommendation, overnice-
ness in clinging to one settled rule. till
the nerves rebel.
What is most needed for recreation is
relaxation. In carrying burdens, either
mental or physical, there is nothing like
changing hands" often.
Recreation need not always consist OF
social diversion-of going to the theatre
or the show. One must vary his rou-
tine, if nothing more than to change his
position while at work.
Routine kills more Americans than
anything else. 1t brings about depres-
sion, dependency, and nervous break
downs.
These general principles and their ap-
plication constitute what the doctors
call "the rest cure" There's nothing
like keeping out of the ruts.

Subtle Changes in Styles.

To the casual observer the styles OF
this year are very different from those
which obtained favor last year. But
change in fashion is always subtle; we
never really rush from one distinct
mode into another, and one may realize
this by recalling how gradually we dis
carded the pulled sleeves, adopted those
that were tight fitting, and again dis
carded these in favor Of the bell sleeve,
which at present absOrbs our attention
to the exclusion of all others, says the
Delineator. And it should be noted
that although this sleeve is adopted by
the multitude it is by no means be.
coming to every woman; indeed, If she
be stout and short it will add notice
ably to the rotundity of her outlines.
However, a fashion of this kind gives
an opportunity for many fanciful dain-
illnesses in the way of undersleeves and
lace trimmings, while 1t always has the
advantage of supreme comfort. nro-
viGed it be not too exaggerated.

No Place for the Ladies'.

John B. Cough, the famous temper
ance writer, was a lover OF a good
story and told an anecdote well. He
was likewise exceedingly earnest at
times, and when in the mood did not
like the introduction OF levity into his
discourse. Once in a New England
town he was lecturing and after painting
the tavern as place of contamination
even for the abstainer, asked:
Don't you all agree with me, friends,
that there is no place a man should go
and of which he should tell his mother
and sisters, unless he might take them,
too, there? Should there be any such
placer"
"Oh, y-e-s!" came drawlingly from
rear seat.
The audience was reused from its
spell OF admiration for the orator, and
turned to look at the owner OF the
voice in the rear. Cough smiled as
though he thought no discussion pos
sible, and blandly asked:
Where, friend, would you go, tell
ing mother and sisters, but refusing to
take them?'
"The barber's," was the laconic reply.

Frills of Fashion.

For extremists in fashionable foibles
are shoes with aluminium heels in
Louis XIV. style.
Ping-pong shirt waist sets have a
small pearl representing ball, set on
a tiny gilt racquet.
White embroidered batiste gowns,
having an interlining of chiffon, are
very dainty and soft in effect.
A crown of bright green, a brim
of white and a binding of green is the
startling combination of broad felt
hat.
Pretty inexpensive muslins are woven
in ribbon stripes with floral pattern
in delicate colorS scattered over a
white ground.
The swell thing in parasol and UNI
brella handles is the new FURNISHED
or golden copper combined with silver
in artistic designs.
Silver belt buckles, which look like
pieces of old iron roughly cut, are
charming when made with dark blue
Opaque or green translucent stones.
White felt hats, which are pretty if
not as altogether as attractive as those
with hand-painted white kid bands
have narrow Powered ribbons around
them.
Among the light silk gowns it is no.
ticeahle that the skirts are cut in seven
and nine cores. The seams are usually
being disguised under fagot
stitching OF iDsertings of lace.
A gown of dark blue taffeta had the
entire blouse laid in horizontal tucks,
stitched with white. The sleeves in
bishop style were also tucked, faring
full above the cuff. The skirt is tucked
to the founce.
Maguey belts made by the natives Of
Porto Rico are worn by young girls.
The belts are narrow, and come in the
natural color of the straw-like fibre.
They tie in front with tiny ropes held
firmly by clever adjustment Of sail

An Anecdote of George Eliot.

When George Eliot was still Miss
Evans, and before she had begun to
write novels, she used to frequent an
old book shop on the Strand, where
she left very unfavorable impression
on one young man who was at that
time an assistant in John Chapman's
shop. His description of her is that of
a remarkably ugly young woman of
universal knowledge whose delight it
was to use the SOcratc method in con-
yersatiOn, but without the SOcratic
benevolence of intention. The result
was that the young men at the dining
table Ghe shop had boarding house
for its employees and guests who heed
lessly hazarded an opinion were very
soon made to feel not only that they
knew nothing of the subject under dis
cussiOn, but that they knew very little
indeed of anything. Now young man
does not relish being badgered and
made fool of by pretty woman,
but it is intolerable to be sat upon by
an ugly one, at least such was the feel
ing of our informant, and one cOnse-
quence of this treatment was that in
after years, when Miss Evans had be-
come George Eliot, one man could
never persuade himself to read Adam
Bede, or to admit that the author was
other than very intOlerant person and
an intolerable intellectual prig.-Har-

Smart WOmen's Pets.

Society women always seem to be
starting some new fad, and the latest
thing in pets is, apparently, a viper of
some sort.
Lady Constance Mackenzie, the sister
and heiress of Lady Cromarty, carries
about with her a small snake, which
she feeds on fish and other delicacies,
while Mrs. Arthur Cadogan, the sister,
in-law of the Lord Lieutenant Of Ire
land, has made a pet of python. She
feeds it with live rats, and varies it's
menu with an occasional frog. says
Home Notes. Mrs. CadOgan's python
is nine feet long. Though it dislikes
strangers, it is devoted to it's mistress,
and will even get onto her bed to be
near her.
