RUSSIAN ENAMEL.
A Coming Novelty in the Way of
 Jewelry.

Philadelphia Record.
 Quite a smart novelty introduced by live jeweler is what Is called Russian enamel Naturally it is made in Ge.- many-nearly everything is It comes in a number of forms. all pleasing and all decidedly odd. The quaitnest part Of 1t is that the enamel Is transparent. This quality Is particularly well exploited in the hat pins. There are two sorts Of heAds--one in the shape of Mercury wings. the other in the design that tops a knights staff They cost 8 and show off the design the best of any of the pieces. because they stand out where the Ii y1t may shine through.
 For mere prettiness the double shell is the choice; it Is one of the novel things to hang on a chain. The shells fold t'- gather with room between for a keep sake. The enamel changes from blue to green, and is marked off finely with gilt in cathedral glass effect. This costs &. Much more elaborate is a necklace with a pendant. It IS of gold, in an ancient design. and two bits of the enamel break its length a few inches each way from the pendant. And yet this pendant Is the shape of feminine head with green and blue hair around her ivory face in true posteresque fashion. A cabochon emerald is on her forehead, and the moro you look at 1t the more you wonder if the idea is Egyptian or ecclesiastical.

A PLUToCRAr OF THE PRAIRIE
Man in Kansas Town Thinks Ele-
 vator is Fortune.

Detroit Free Press.
 He stood upon the railway platform of a small Kansas town on a hot Sun day afternoon, and when the Western flyer stopped to let it's mighty engine take a breathing spell and quench it's thirst by liberal supply of water, he greeted the seat weary passengers who stepped out to stretch their legs by a lit tie walk with a beaming smile that be- tokened d hearty welcome to the stran- gers
 He was not a typical Kansas farmer in appearances that is, he did not bring to mind the family pictures of the Pop ul!st, so common in Eastern comic pa- pers. On the contrary, he might have be m let down in any town in one of the Mid dle States without exciting a bit of cuff osity But he was a Kansan through and through, and proud of it, if you please, although he could not claim the birthright. as his story proved.
 Fixing his attention on one particular passenger who may have seemed to him more receptive than the others, he open CT the conversation with the query:
 Be you from the East?'
 On receiving an affirmative reply, he went on:
 Well, come from the East myself forty years ago, over the praries from Wisconsin, and I tell you it was a hard ride. We come out in a prairie schooner, wife and l, and took up a quarter sec tion south of here. It was pretty hard sleddin' sometimes; crops weren't always good and then the winters would be mighty tough. But We stuck to it and reared little family, and when the boys grew up they helped on the land and made things go bctt er.
 Four years ago l concluded I'd work ed enough, so I gave the boys the farm and came to town, Wife an 1 settled down in a little house that didn't cost much. and the first summer we took a trip tQ Colorado Springs and had q ride up Pikes Peak. That was q great trip l tell you. Next year we went to Omah ha to the exposition, and had big time. Say, that was a great show; did you go. Thought we'd go back to Wisconsin this year. an see the State Fair but a chance came along to make a little money. so we gave it up. Some of the railroad folks told me there was an open ing for an elevator, so I got a contractor to give me some figures. bought pretty good engine that had been through q slightly looking new Nuilding half q mile up the track.
 Say, stranger, that things goin to cost me $500 fore l get it finished. but she's all right. and if you ever come through this way when she's goin want you to walk out an sec her"
 And it is safe to say that J. Pierpont Morgan, with all of his millions. never felt more prosperous, nor took greater pride in his most gigantic undertaking than this simple-minded plutocrat of the prairie takes to himself on this crowninS z achievement of his life of toil-his $500 grain elevator.

Well-Kept Hands.

WOman's Home Companion.
 Over my sink are two bottles and a nail cleaner. One bottle contains five parts of Iemon-juice to ono of alcohol, which will keep indefinitely. The other contains the following lotion, One-fourth of an ounce of gum tragacanth to one pint of rain-w tter, which has stood three days, then one ounce each of aIcohoi' glycerne and wit .h-hazel; also httle good faint perfume After washing di''h- cs or preparing vegetables, I apply q little of the lem juice, then the lotion, and in a moment my hands are dry soft and very smooth All stains disappear as if by magic and the nails are cleaned easily. The time required is not over two minutes. This process repeated five or six times daily will certainly repay housekeepars for what is there more in dicatiye of refinement than well-kept hands? Then, too, the expense of these lotions is comparatively nothing. Be sure to have them in a handy place.

 What Would Happen.
 Again, it is known that not many years ago a huge bolide. something like eight miles in diameter, fairly grazed our earth. What would happen should bolide, or meteor 100 miles, or even 1,OOO miles in diameter. strike the earth fairly and sauarely. Were we to suspend an egg by a small cord, and fire at it with a rife, so that the bullet would strike it in the center, the effect would be some- what similar on a small scale to what might be expected to happen to the earth if struck by huge bolfde 1000 miles in diameter, moving at velocity of fifty miles a second.
 "Lord Kelvin has estimated that if the present consumption of coal in human industries continues with anything like it's present ratio of increase, the great coal measures will be exhausted, and the oxygen of our atmosphere practically consumed by its combustion, within the next four or five centuries. This is the most likely, perhaps, of all possible ca lamities to generally affect the human race, and it more directly concerns us at the present time, from our realization that wa are extravagantly wasting the breath df life of those who are soon to follow. Le tus hope, however. that long before our fuel shall be consumed and our oxygen exhausted. man will have discovered some way of providing fresh supplies from new sources"

 Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-worklng in pumping thick. kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
