NOVELTIES IN JEWEI.RY

The animal kingdom continues to figure
among the novelties brought out in jew
elry. A tiny prancing steed, studded all
over with seed pearls and with trappings
Of blue enamel, serves as a charm; a
scorpion whose legs are gold, body pearl
and eyes rubies, is mounted for a scarf
pin; horses and dogs heads with jeweled
eyes are among the charms, and a novel
brooch is a swan formed of mother Of
pearl, the head and neck set with dia-
monds, the eyes composed Of rubies.
While animal jewelrys can scarcely be ac-
counted among things artistic, there is
doubtless considerable number of pur-
chasers who find it to their taste. Some
Of the really beautiful pieces Of jewelry
are to be found among the art nouveau
designs of tinted gold and enamel with
precious or semi precious stones intro
duced The stones are added to contrib
ute to the effect of the whole, and not
merely for glitter and display. The tur-
quofse, opal and emerald matrix are much
in vogue and compose some handsomely
set brooches and belt pins. Baroque
pearls appear in all sorts Of jewelry. A
stunning long necklace is made up en-
tirely Of these pearls held together with
gold links. Another, somewhat similar,
has the pearls at close intervals on a
slender gold chain. A bracelet novelty
shows fine turning vine in green enamel
connecting a row Of turquoises, the size
Of small peas. with here and there a
little river pearl.

A LOVER s TRIBUTE
Bells Of St. Clement Danes Ring Eac
Monday Evening for Nell
GWynne.

6eliS OF St. Clement OaneS ring Eacn
Monday Evening for Nell
Gwynne.
IF you are ever passing along the Strand
in London near the law courts at twi-
light on a Monday evening, you will hear
the bells Of st. Clement Danes church
ring steadily for twenty minutes. A cas-
ual pedestrian naturally would conclude
that the bells were calling to service.
doubt if many Londoners who work with
in a stones throw Of st. Clement Danes
really know their meaning. Londoners
are curiously ignorant of historical Gus
toms and places over which the average
American tourist will spend a great deal
of time.
Shortly after Nell Gwynne's death one
Of her old admirers, from whom she had
been estranged, died, leaving g. sum Of
money to st. Clement Danes. He stipu-
lated that the bells of the old church
should be rung once a week in memory
of the woman who won fame by her acting
in Old Drury Lane, not a stones throw
away. And so, thru all these years, as
sexton has followed sexton and genera
ton has succeeded generation, the bells
have been rung at dusk every Monday
evening. I am told that a week has never
been missed. a.g
Once, some years ago. the sexton was
taken ill as he entered the church. The
curate himself rang the bells, and Nell
Gwynne's admirer was faithfully obeyed.

THE FIRST STARCHER
Queen Elizabeth Introduced Starch Int
England with Her Ruffs


England with Her Ruffs.
Starch originated In Flanders. It was
introduced into England, with the big
ruff, in the time of Queen Elizabeth. It
was like our starch Of to-day, except that
it was made in colors-red, yellow, green,
blue. The effect Of this was to tint deli
cately the white linen to which the starch
might be applied. q
Before Queen Elizabeth's time ruffles
and rufus were made of fine holland, which
no stiffening. Then the rufus of
cambria came, and these must Of neces-
sity be starched.
It is recorded that when the queen had
rufus made of lawn and cambria for her
own royal wearing there was no one in
England could tell how to starch them,
but the queen made special inquiries for
some woman that could starch, and Mrs.
Guilham, wife Of the royal coachman, was
the first starcher.
In 1854 a Flanders woman, Frau Van
der Plasse, came to London and estab-
lshed there q. school for the teaching OF
starching. The school succeeded, and the
Flanders frau got rich. She charged s5
a lesson, and an extra EOS for a, recipe
for the making of starch out Of wheat
flour, bran and roots.

HOW TO POLISH WINDOWS.

To insure having nice-looking windows
clean them on a dull day or when the sun
is shining on another part Of the house,
otherwise they will be streaked, and no
amount of rubbing will remove the
streaks. Dust the window first both inside
and out; for this purpose I always use a
painters brush. Next clean all inside
woodwork before commencing on the
panes. Then add a little ammonia to
some warm water and wash the glass with
it. Get the dust out Of the corners with a
piece Of dress whalebone wrapped in a
corner Of a cloth. Wipe the windows dry
with a cotton cloth, and then polish with
old newspaper or tissue paper. II steam
collects on the window rub it over with a
very little paraffin after it is quite clean.

She did not hear from her husband for
many months after his departure.
A Lady's Maid.
Finding herself in Strengthened cir
cumstances, she advertised in the New
York newspapers for a position as
lady's maid. Lady Napier, widow of
the celebrated Lord Napier, having
been ordered by her physicians to take
a sea voyage had come to New York,
and finding the change of climate bene-
fetal to her health, remained there for
a considerable length of time. Chanc-
ing to see Mrs. Mearston's modest adj
v~ertisement, she sent for her and took
her into her service. She was in Lady
Napier's service for a considerable
time, and was about starting to travel
with her to France and the continent
when Mr.. Mearston unexpectedly re-
turned to New York. With much re-
gret Lady Napier, who had ~regained
her health in a great degree by her res
idence on u shores, parted with her
maid, and Mrs. Mearston went to Cali
fornia with her husband in 1852. Here
| her husband worked in the mines with
the usual success attending the miners
and prospectors of those early days. He
would make considerable money in one
claim, only to loose it in another.
In 1858 the Fraser river excitement
broke out, and he went with the STAN
pede to the new northern Eldorado,
taking his wife with him. Here he
seems to have had no better luck than
in California. In the winter of 1890
she found herself on the ~Similkameen,
where she found provisions so short
that she was forced to subsist for q
period of four weeks on roots brought
her by the Indians.
At Fort Colville.
During the winter of 186O-61 she OBJ
tanned a position cooking for an officers
mess at Fort Colville, in 1.-THE state Of
Washington, and the following spring
she started with her husband on the
stampede to Florence, Idaho, where ex
ceedingly rich placer mines had beef
