THE UNION BALL.
Another Brilliant Success Scored
BY the Casino.

The 18th. anniversary ball given
by the Casino Union of Matamoros
on New Years eve was one of the
most elegant functions that ever
graced the handsome opera house
of that city. The attendance was
unusually large from 10th cities.
The decorations were beautiful, and
the costumes of the ladies were
unusually attractive, making the
ballroom scene of unusual beau
ty. The music by the leading Mata-
moros band was excellent. AT
midnight, as the bugles announc-
ed the witching hour, supper
was announced, and the guests
repaired to the dining ball, where
an elegant repast was served.
It is regretted that description
of the costumes worn by the ladies
and the names of the Matamoros
representatives present could not
be obtained. The latter included
nearly all of the leading society
people of that city. From Browns
vile, the following were among the

New Invention in Mirrors.

Mirrors that one can see through
are a new invention already com
ing into use. They are Of soeal!ed
"platinized glass;" being backed
with a compound of 80 per cent.
silver aud 5 per cent. platinum,
and ,optically speaking they are ex-
ceedingly curious aud interesting.
Looking into glass of this kind,
one finds frst-rate reflection it is
mirror aud nothing more. At the
same time a person on the other
side can see directly through it.
For example, glass Of this sort
placed in front of the prescription
desk in an apotheeary shop per
fectiy coucesls the prescription
clerk aud ms apparatus. Thus
The privacy of that department is
secured, while on his part The clerk
is able to survey the shop and see
everybody who comes in just as if
the mirror were ordinary glass.

Sacred Nuts of Japan.

Although we'll known to travellers
and collectors Of curiositles, the horn
nut. or sacred nut" of Japan was al
most wholly unknown TO fruit ana nu'
dealers in this country prior TO 1880
when a New York commission mer-
chant received the first large consign'
ment. They are called sacred nuts
because used in certain forms OF Jap
anese worship, where they are placed
ON the altar and ignited. Being very
rich in oil they burn with hot, oiuisn
flame and give off a peculiar odor, the
fumes being supposed to rise as an &C
ceptable incense TO the gods. Ihey
grow under water and have leaf Ike
an American lily, the form of the nut
itself being an almost exact counter
mart of an Asian buffalo's head, droop
ing horns and all. In the raw state
they are hard and tasteless, but when
cooked the flavor resembles that OF
boiled chestnuts. They are said to re.
tain their edible qualities for upward
of twenty years.

The English Crown Ruby.

The ruby of the English crown Is
famous in popular estimation. but-hls
tory apart-what does the connoisseur
saw as to its value? asks the London
Chronicle. is it a ruby or is 1t only a
fine and large spinel? Some people
call a splnel a spinel ruby, but 6 spine'
is not a ruby. The stone last named
when it is of more than three ana o
half carats in weight and fawless all
through, is more precious than per
feet diamond of the same size. when
it is considerably larger, its value Is
not to be estimated and may be any
thing according to the passion or the
collector. But the spinel, much less
hard crystal, even when 1t reaches the
weight of four carats. is valued al
half the worth of four carat dia-
mond. There are famous royal rubies,
but that which flames In the royal
crown Is, according to common rumor
among experts, the lowlier spinel.

Lomoard Architecture.

The Lombard style Of architecture,
to which our Norman is allied, placed
the support conspicuously in the wall
OF great thickness, with large blank
spaces unpierced and prominent, the
walls plainly tell their work and their
capacity to do it. The Commentator
is subservient to the idea. Shallow
recesses and paneling bring the sur
face of the wall into prominence.
Where they are pierced for window or
door the beveling and molding In per-
spective increase the idea of strength
The arcading points to the depth. Inc
circular arch indicates the solidity OF
the wall above. The circular windows
were adapted to emphasize the notion
of power.
In the Egyptian the wall is unno-
ticed. in the Greek it receded from
view. in the Byzantine it played no
part. in the Moresque it is chopped up
and scattered, but in the Lombard,
without buttress or plaster, 1t asserted
itself as the main element of support.
