JEWELS WORN IN NEW STYLE.
Partisan Fancy Taken Up by Smart
London Women of Fashion.

One Of the latest Partisan fancies in
jewels to be taken up by smart Lon
don women is a corsage garniture of a
fishnet drapery set with diamonds, the
whole forming brilliantly scintillat-
Ing drapery.
The fisher net is filet work of ex-
ceedingly fine gold threads. the meshes
formed of diamonds. The drapery
covers the shoulders and droops sew
eral inches. and 1t is made entirely by
hand.
Mrs. Cavendish-B entinck, a sister of
Mrs. Ogden Mills. wore this sort of
diamond meshwork on the corsage of
royal blue robe, and Mrs. Edward
Ward. a recent bride, wore a similar
net of diamonds over a clinging black
satin. Lady Camden was also seen in
a pink robe having the diamond
meshed net, and in each case two large
diamond tassels and diamond set cords
fastened the jeweled drapery at the
back.
The inverted tiara is another little
fad in jewels. This is a straight band
front from which jeweled points de-
scend, disappearing in the couture.
Mrs. Waldorf Aston wore one of
these inverted diadems the same eve
ming that the diamond studded corsage
draperies were seen.
The duchess of Rutland also wore
a new pattern in diadems; in this in
stance 1t was a pointed crown of wheat
ears meeting in the front and Queen
Alexandra wore similar couture or

diamond thistle rose from the center

Collars in Dresden coIors.

Stiff collars have, for a long time,
been embroidered, but 1t remained for
this summer to bring them forth deco
rated with punches of flowers in a
multitude of Dresden shades. The lit
tie nosegays are placed on the corners
of the collars in front, and they add
just dainty touch of color to the i'm
maculate Wilderness of a white linen
tailored suit.
With them are worn jabots, made of
handkerchiefs. embroidered to match
the collar, or little butterfly bows in

the first thought that would enter

However, such is not the case.
Evarts is now only western plain

And the whole reason for the people
of Evar;s getting out of their chosen
town was because the railroad wanted
to find suitable spot on the Missouri
river to build bridge. The railway
officials were extending their line to
the coast and the worst obstacle in the
path of the gigar.i.s enterprise was
TO find n place to hang the bridge.
Eventually the engineers settled upon

old. at wedding party.
He apparently fell in love and wrote
her many letters and post cards. In
February last they became engaged,
and the wedding was to have taken
place in September. but the cab pro-
prietor wrote asking the young woman
to 'let him free" as their Social con-
ditions were not quite equal"
The young woman's father in reply
wrote the letter, which was read in
court:
when you go to church and sing
your praise try to think of the lass
you have now spurned and left with a
broken heart.
when you uplift your voice in
prayer, may the heaven be as brass.
May God repay thee for what thou
hast done"
Then followed 1000 dots and these
words:
These are not kisses, but tears
from mothers and daughters hearts,
which before they knew you never had
a care.
May you for every tear that falls
and every throb in their hearts repent
it millions and millions of times over
and over again. and every time you
look at lass or hear the church bells
chime at night when you go to sleep,
and at morn when you awake, may
you think of this letter and lass with

Killed 1889 Ducks at One Shot.

Harry Malcolm, ex-deputy game
warden, sends to the Sun a photograph
of remarkable nine-barrel gun with
single trigger, which has the effec-
tiveness of a Gatling gun in slaughter
ing ducks. A single pull of the trig
ger fires off all the barrels, and one
discharge is said to have killed 1S9
ducks.
Mr.. Malcolm, assisted by Messrs. r.
H. Cox, w. M. Lyon and Sidney Bar
ber, arrested party of hunters who
were using the gun to the great detri-
ment of the wild duck hunting sport
on the Potomac river. Seven men
were taken along with the gun, which
is of a type forbidden by law. Mr..
Malcolmn says that ror years they
have been unlawfully killing ducks
and driving others from the Potomac
river and tributary creeks.
The capture of the outfit, he says, is
great relief to the owners of lands
in the neighborhood. With the gun
were captured four sloops. seven big
guns, 100 decoys, seven skins, $50
pounds of powder and S5 dead ducks.

Even the prosaic washing of dishes

different methods of washing, such as
~ simply wiping glasses with a ster-
tlized cloth, (2) rinsing with cold
water and wiping with no particular
care. and go thoroughly washing and
rinsing in fresh water and carefully
drying. They find that the partial
washing or wiping so common in ho-
tel, restaurant and family kitchens
leaves the germs practically un-
touched. Thoroughly washing. even in

some suaaestlons As to Lying.

There is not so much objection to
the telling of lie. 1t is no use to tell
lie unless you are going TO ac-
complish your purpose. Lies can do
the work whether they are discovered
or not. 1t is all in the manner Of tell
ing them. In the first place never tell
lie when the truth will do just as
well. This serves to establish your
reputation and gives your lies stand
ing they could not otherwise gain.
Never tell a big lie to gain small
object, nor tell little lie to gain a
big object Let all your lies be big
and lusty fellows, and let them have
some big business in hand. These two
rules are really imperative RI you ex-
pect to become a successful and pro-
ficient liar. Little lies for little things
are not worth telling.
Finally, always have the courage of
your lies. Stick to 'em. If you are
not brave enough to stand by your
own lies, why send them out only to
be betrayed? A man is the rankest
sort of a coward that refuses to give
his lie any support when 1t crawls
back to him from the buffetings, beat
ings and rough usage of the populace.

roborative evidence and artificial con-
firmation and send it out again re-
