their eyes A new and effective design in
this charming line is the creation of the

Brooches are also greatly In evidence
This line comprises a great range of efrec-

figures or flowers are the prevailing decora-
lions. the brooches being mostly made of
chased matt gold enriched with precious
stones Striking in the extreme is the
brooch of chased matt gold representing
flowers and foliage of the bind-weed. This
motif very ably worked out, takes the form
of a shield ending with a large baroque
pearl.
In sash buckles the greatest fancy pre-

very large dimensions. varying in general
styles from the feminine heads to graceful
plants or flowers.
In the way of neck pendants the most
fascinating designs are shown. As an ex-

swallows with outspread wings. contend1ng

Gossip from japan.

The Japanese house is built very diff
ferent from the American home. the
main ambition being to have roof on
supports, whether it is filed with walls
or not. The supports are merely driv-
en- into the earth and Strengthened with
cross-beams, and cellars are not con-
sidered necessary. The walls. lightly
built, are finished with shutters, while
as for interior partitions, screens usu-
ally answer this purpose. Soft. spingy
mats cover the floors and answer for
chairs, tables and all other furniture.
Whatever furnishings the house may
contain in the way of a low chest of
drawers, box for Goals, a writing
desk, few cushions, or a single vase,
the mats are considered the real lux
uries.- Chicago Post.

in the matter of motor watering carts.
This municipal automobile carries
LOO gallons. The maximum speed is
nine and half miles an hour. The
sprinkler can be filed in six minutes

wide with its spray. The motor is
worked by steam at thirty-five horse
power, and a connection between the
wheels and the water jets regulates au-
tomatically the output of the latter,
