MARVELLOUS JEWELS.

The three families of enormous wealth that, with the addition of the Rockefellers, constitute the most wide ly known of American multi-million- aires, do not, however, monopolize the splendid jeWelry owned in the metropo- lis; but 1t would be wearisome to name, piece by piece, the gems of even few of the remaining hundreds of well known women in New York's most exclusive society.
 Glancing hastily around the circle. one is forced to recall, nevertheless. such quaint or costly and beautiful bits of bijouterie as Mrs T. Suffern Tailer's diamond chrysanthemum. sometimes fetchingly worn at her shoulder; Mrs Belmont Tiffany's point lace fans, one studded with various Jewels. the stick of the other bearing her initials set in diamonds: Mrs George W. Vanderbilt's necklace of ITO diamonds; Mrs Frederick ". Van derbilt's diamond bodied and ruby eyed serpent that half encircles ifs owner; Mrs Clarence H. Mackay's sap- phire, the most perfect and beautiful known in the world. and Mrs o. H. P. Belmont's chief treasures. her string of pearls, once worn by Marie Antoinette. and an overwhelmingly gorgeous chain of diamonds. seven and a half feet in length. formerly owned by the Empress Catherine of Russia.

SPOILED THE PYRAMIDS.

fear geographies and picture books have half spoiled the pyra- mids for many of us by making them seem commonplace, just as children's readers have spoiled some good English poetry. Then Mark Twain has set the fashion of being funny about these venerable piles, first impressions are apt to be dis
 turbed. There are tourists who ar rive with fippant, Hello, Cheops, old boyr' There are others who give only tolerant interest, as if they had seen 1t all before. Yet many of both classes go away finally in reverent silence, wishing people had taught them lessor more-about the pyramids. For one thing, take the matter of dust and heat, in which the picture book makers have surely misled us, for they do not rep resent the pyramids as standing out on burning waste, with only a nak- ed palm tree every mile or so to keep the glare off, and individuals in queer hats gasping about, half smoth. cred in the sand storms As a mat ter of fact, the seven mile drive from Cairo to CheopS comes off as pleas antly as carriage ride out of Long Branch, and is over as good a road.

There was certainly one there yes

is too pale-colored to show any"

justify the use of hair dye. Kitty Red

to do so, for she agrees with everyone

"You are too intelligent. There are

Machinery and Wages.

The effect of machinery on wages is
well exemplified by the following fig
ures: At one time in the United States
roller in a rail mill, rolling iron or
steel rails, received about Is cents per
ton, turning out from IS to 100 tons
per turn. To-day in some of the mod
ern steel-rail mills, less than one cent
per ton is paid for doing the same
work, and yet by the end of the year
the roller in the rail mill can make as
much money as he did under the old
method of working. At one time As
cents per ton was paid for heating iron
for making iron rails. To-day,
through the use of the improved meth
DDS, very little more than one-half cent
per ton is paid for doing the same
work, and yet the wages received are
better than they were at that earlier
time.

hat dear old. trusty pard,

Here's to that dear old, trusty pard.
Comrade of woodland, street and yard,
Who ne'er was wanting in time Of need.
And never swerved from his loyal creed;
With his eager tail and his loving eyes,
His ears up-cocked in attention wise,
His ringing bark and his spirit bold.
His clever ways and his heart Of gold.
Little IL matters how goes his name:
Towser or Rover It's quite the same;
Be sure that iE boyhoud's catalogue
His figure IS blaz0neG as dog-true dog:
Ready 10 froiic. 10 fetch, 10 fight,
To run all day and 10 guard all night;
TSo follow his lord 10 the world far end
Servant and warder and faithful friend.
Where were the odds that he would not
face,
Where the path that he did not trace.
Where the stream that he could rot swim
II well-kLowu whistle had summoned
him?
Snowy or rainy. cold or hot,
Light or darkness. he faltered not;
Weary his limb or torn his paw,
His masters wish was his highest law.
Oh, stanch companion Of by-goue days,
Who asked for Eaught but a word Of praise;
Whose purest bliss, and contentmert
sweet
To lie outstretched az his masters feet.
The fields stu wait where We used 20 rove,
The squirrel chatters adown the grove.
The grouse drums loud from the messy log
But deep are thy SAUNDERS, boyhood's cog.

POWER OF IMAGINATION.
There Is Any Namber of Ways in
Which Healthy Man May Think
Himself to Death

Thousands of people actually think
themselves to death every year by
allowing their minds to dwell on NOR
bid subjects.
As rule, the thought that kills re-
lates to something the individual
breads more than anything else in
the world. There is the germ of IA
tai thought in 80 persons in every
100, and the exception is only proof
against the thought disease by hav-
ing been inoculated with the lymph
of profound optimism or philosophy.
The idea that one has some incip-
lent disease in ones system, the
thought of financial ruin, that one is
getting on in life without improving
prospects-any of them, or a thou
sand similar thoughts, may carry a
| healthy man to a premature grave.
A melancholy thought that fixes it.
self upon ones mind needs as much
'doctoring'' as physical disease; it
needs to be eradicated from the mind.
or it will have just the same result
as a neglected disease would have.
The thought-disease sometimes cures
itself after running its course; so
does smallpox. But who would settle
down to suffer from smallpox, and
chance recovering, as thousands of
foolish rEfsons settle down to let the
| thought disease, which has attacked
them, do it's worst?
Every melancholy thought, every
morbid notion, and every nagging
worry shonld be resisted to the ut
most, and the patient should be
physicked by cheerful thoughts, of
which there is store in every ones
possession, bright companions -
cheaper than drugs, and pleasanter.
There have occurred scores of doz-
ems of cases where healthy persons
have thought themselves into having
tumors and cancers-cases which adj
NIT of no doubt whatever that the
diseases resulted from constant NOR
bid fear. There might possibly be
fewer cases of cancer if some great
doctors could assure the world that
it is not hereditary disease; but
morbid-minded persons, on hearing
that there is cancer in their families,
generally do the very worst thing
they can do under the circumstances
they conceive an awful dread that
they will be afflicted with it. They
dwell upon the fear constantly; and
every trifiing ailment which troubles
them is at first mistaken for the
premonitory symptoms of cancer.
The morbid condition of mind pro-
duces a morbid condition of body,
and if the disease does happen to be
in the system it receives every en-
couragement to develop. - Chicago

ALL THAT REMAINS OF THE LIGHTHOUSE ST. PIERRE

cation along the coast is maintained
in a very unique manner. The ma
tives propel large, six-oared canoes
these plying daily for about 20 miles
1t is a favorite custom of visitors
to the island to inspect the coast
and the peculiar people living along
it with these vessels.
Steamers anchor in the bay. and
the cargo is transported to and from
the shores in lighters called Moses
boats. These are peculiarly shaped
and are built only in St. Vincent.
The town of Kingstown is remarkably
well laid out and is one of the pref
test small ports in the West Indies.
The island of st. Vincent was for
merly under the general government
of the Windward islands, Barbados
being headquarters, but in 1885 Bar
BADGES was made a separate govern
ment, and Grenada, st. Vincent. To-
bago and St. Lucia were placed under
a governor. The official council of St.
Vincent is composed of eight mem
bers, nominated by the British crown.
The population of the island is
about $4,000, of whom some 81 900 are
negroes. KingstOwn has a popuIa-
ton of 5000. The principal exports
are sugar, rum, cacao, spices and ar
rowroot. The chief imports from the
United States are breadstuffs and
small hardware.
La Soufriere rises several miles
from the shore. Its crater is abou1
three miles in diameter, and there is
a lake within it about quarter of a
mile in diameter. The impression
the islands makes upon travellers pas
sing in steamships was described bv
Lafcadio Hearne in his book, Two
Years in the West Indies" in these
words:
But over the verge of the sea
there is something strange growing
visible, looming up like a beautiful
yellow cloud. 1t is an island, so lof-
ty, luminous, so rhantom-lille, that it
seems a vision of the Island of Seven
Cities. 1t is only the form of St. Vim
