"I'll be glad to get back to Atlanta, :" he said to no one in particular For the next six months I expect to hear no man say, How long will it take?' Up here that Is the universal query, Just keep your ears open and you will hear it 50 times a day. If man stops to have his shoes shined he invaria- ply prefaces the job by asking the boy how long it will take. In barber shops many customers even go so far as to eliminate the usual morning greeting. They simply say, How long will it take? and when they leave their part ing word is not 'Goodby,' but com plaint about the slowness of the barber.
 "The man who lunuies down town is no exception. Even an order of a cup of coffee and g. sandwich neces- sitates the popping of that all-import- ant question, How long will it take?
 You hear it in drug stores at the pre- scription counter and in the telephone booth. In banks, in hotels, in offices and on the street people put that ques- tion for no apparent reason. They sim ply meet and stare at each other for a minute; then one makes some remark

HORSES, NOSES.

Perhaps when a man isn't busy re- forming the world or himself he might proftably spend a little time in looking at horses noses. Anyhow, there is a man in New York who thinks that horses noses are highly indicative of horses dispositions. A horse with prominent nose has, he says, courage and stubbornness in equal proportion; consequently, he makes a frst-class baker. Noses of the pancake variety indicate meekness. A nose that is wide between the eyes denotes trustwortht- ness. A generally vicious temperament accompanies the nose that narrows at the top. Horses that run away, bite their neighbors, and kick the dash board into flinders have that type of nose. "A horse with broad, tlaring nos trils is a high liver; also he is lazy. The thin, sensitive nostrils belong to racers and high-class carriage horses. Fire department horses usually have the aristocratic nasal lines. Deep hori- zontal ridges in horses nose indicate humility, and even solemnity.
 Why not? Human noses are thought to be indicative of something or other, and perhaps horses noses are.

 Very artistic and beautiful are new designs in the thinnest of translucent enamels whioq appear on the surface to be threaded and edged with gold.

Costly cursage ornaments exploit natural forms, some times with leaves veined with diamond dust, or perhaps a spray of leaves and flowers tied with diamond ribbon.
 Among the motifs displayed in this manner is a group of morning glories a bunch of bluebells and especially bell shaped flowers also leaves with ber- ries. A charming berry design is simu- lated by bunch of smooth, pink pearls depending from diamond veined leaves, grouped gracefully above the swaying stems. Also in a similar style are some very charming pendants, attached to neck chain formed of slender and rather long beads matching the general tone of the green leaves and closely connected by links of rich, yellow gold.

THE LATEST.

Always something interesting in New Haven. Now 1t is the discussion be- tween what is called the Central Y. M. c. A. and the Goffe street branch Y. M. c. A. The Central Y. M. c. A. is white and the Goffe street branch Y. M. c. A. is colored. The Central Y. M. c. A. has delicately told the Goffe street branch Y. M. c. A. that colored young men cannot be admitted to full mem
 bership in the Central Y. M. c. A. We have read the correspondence carefully, and we are particularly struck with the following remarks made by the eol- ored writers: But if there be colored young men who wish the superior ad
 vantages of the Central association they should have the untrammelled right to avail themselves of those su- perior advantages on an equal footing with any other young men. This should be so, in the first place, because the Y. M. c. A. is a public institution, and, secondly, because it is a Christian in- stitution, and, thirdly, because it's ad
 vantages have been provided by the charity of this community to promote the well-being of the young manhood of this city, whose need is not racial.
 The colored writers seem to have the best of the argument, if there is any argument But we don't suppose there is. The situation will delight the Bal timore Sun, which keeps a. sharp look out for incidents that indicate the pres ence of the color line and race prejudice in good old Christian New England.

IRRIGATION IN INDIA.

Some interesting information con- cerning the irrigation system of India was furnished, in compact form, the other evening, in a paper read in Lon don before the British Society of Arts by MT. R. B. Buckley. He said that the canals which carry the water ag- gregate 12,000 miles in length, and are
 supplemented by about S0,0O0 miles of distributary channels. The majority of these works have been constructed by the British government during the last sixty years. The canals, with one or two exceptions, were constructed pri- marily for irrigation, the chief object being the improvement of the crops. and they were laid out to command the lands which required irrigation and not with a view to navigation. In some cases, however, the main canals can be used for navigation as well as irriga- tion. After dealing exhaustively with the financial aspect of the case, Mir. Buckley said it certainly seemed un- just that. while railroad companies readily obtained free land and a gov ernment guarantee on their capital, navigation companies got neither and also found it hard to induce the gov ernment to spend anything on improv- ing the waterways.

 A spiral ring evidently intended to almost if not quite, cover one phalanx is composed of a diamond band orna- mented with a good sized diamond and a square cut emerald on either end.
 A charming brooch is in the shape of a pave diamond shell, holding a per- fectly round, white pearl.
 Animal heads are always popular as scarf pins, and one of tgIe most attract i've is a deer's head and antlers entire- ly in diamonds.
 Occasionally one sees long, slender earrings worn with smart costume and matching, or at least harmonizing with the color of hat and gown, though all dealers do not report any demand for the very extreme styles, such indi- cations must be taken for what they are worth.
 The basket weave pattern Is shown on number of gold card cases and pocketbooks in a rather dull finish, as distinctive from the plain, bright gold, which appears to be much lighter in weight.
