NeW Necklaces.

Think of it, black jet necklace!
One now for sale consists of a row of
cut jet nail heads, and from these are
pendent the dearest old lot of grand
motherly pendants, pear-shaped af-
fairs in graduated sizes, that reminds
one of coquettes now turning to dust,
says the Chicago Journal. Such neck
laces in gold are not as large and aim
at rich ornamental effects. Indeed,
the more delicate these designs, the
more pleasing, for their exquisite
workmanship is kept above mere
weightiness. The La Valliere is as
much liked as ever. and some superb
examples show stones in as many as
five colors. Well chosen and artistic
ally designed, such a necklace is some
thing to wish for. Fancifully shaped
jewels are yet used with splendid re-
suits, the great care being to use the
combinations discreetly. 8. ~

Choosing Innings.

1t never pays to buy too cheap a
velvet. There is no objection to cot
ton-backed article, but one with a
short nap is always preferable and one
that sells at not less than 81 a yard. In
the matter of dress Innings care should
be taken in selecting one which is sup
pie and light in weight.
When silk is used for this purpose,
one that is soft and crumples easily in
the hand and yet which will smooth
out without a wrinkle is by far the
most satisfactory. But nowadays many
WOMEN prefer fine, soft percaline or
some similar material in preference to
silk, for the reason that it lies closer
to the figure and is more easily mold
ed to the lines of the body than the
silk

Fishing by Phone.

A Norwegian has invented a queer
way of finding cut where the fish are.
A microphone, which Is an instrument
that will catch and transmit the least
bit of sound. is lowered into the
water from fishing smack. and a wire
from 1t leads to telephone aboard the
boat. Now. as the herring, Goldfish and
mackerel schools number thousands
and tens of thousands of fish. their pas
sage through the water naturally
causes a rushing sound, which can be
heard by the fishermen at the tele-
phone, and thus they are enabled to
lower their nets at the right time and
in the right place.

Fur Trimming.

During the fall and winter furs of all
kinds will be used for dress and hat
trimmings. Bear fur is to be revived.
Any dainty edge of fur on velvet or
cloth is effective. Evening gowns and
tea gowns are trimmed with the finest
threads of exquisite furs. An imported
hat appeared a few days ago with an
edging of fine fur tracing the outline of
the lace medallions of which the hat
was made. Fur unites beautifully with
cashmere. Cashmere will be worn more
this season than for some time past.
This introduces fur into the combina-
tions for house gowns.

Hat Trimmings.

Strings of thin satin are by no means
exceptional. and make an effective fin
ish to picture hats, says the Millinery
Trade Review. Black liberty strings
are attached under the brim of a
black velvet hat. and knotted together
once. so that the knot rests on the
wearer's right shoulder. This hat has
the brim somewhat raised on the right
side, while curving down in the brim.
The trimming consists of loops of the
ribbon, each plated into the shape of
dahlia petal, arranged in two halves,
embracing two-thirds of the crown.
Joined by handsome cut steel buckle
OF shield shape, and plume of os-
trich tips placed rather far back.

Princess gowns are to be worn again
this autumn to quite a large extent.
They will take the form of the genuine
old-fashioned princess dress, which has
been modified of late out of all recogni-

in reality be fashioned in two distinct
pieces, this will be so contrived that it
will not be visible.

Hunt After Reptile That
Escaped From It's Trainer
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

SAN JOSE, Sept. "a snake hunt
resulting in the capture of a seven
foot bull snake, was enjoyed by the
employees of the Santa Clara Valley
Mill and Lumber Company to-day, at
Fourth and Santa Clara streets. A
few weeks ago a snake trainer named
Kelley resided at a lodging house near
the mill. He had a large number Of
snakes and while he was in a hospital
recovering from the bite of a copper
head three Of his reptiles escaped. They
were known to be in the lumber yards
and the men since then have been al
most afraid to handle the lumber Be
sides the bull snake, a rattlesnake and
copperhead escaped. A few days ago
the rattlesnake was killed. Tracks of
the bull snake were found to-day and
the men hunted him down. The rep
tile was found between some lumber
and one of the more daring of the men
threw a moose over it's head. Then. by
means of sticks, the snake was put
into a box. 1t was more than seven
feet long and three inches in diameter
at the thickest place. The copperhead
is still at large.

The Board OF Works yesterday

tractor for repairs refuses TO do the

only cut down their allowance, but
spportioned il for specific purposes.
