FREAK JEWELRY
This is a freak season for jewels.

This Is freak season for jewels.
Quaint, old-fashioned rings have
been ns popular AS the old-fashicned
pendant earrings. which have been
generally worn, though they seem TO
add years to the most youthful face,
These pendant earrings gradually
grew until they reached an extreme
length OF FIVE inches, n woman of So
ciety appearing in New York at one
OF the first performances, IL few weeks
ago. with earrings of this ridiculous
measurement
Now the craze for tassel jewelry has
taken the form of tassel earrings.
These are seen usually as seed
pearls In tassels that drop an inch or
two from the ears
They are even more bnrbaric In ef-
feet than the pendant pearls and dia-
monds, and also tend to rob the wear
er OF the appearance OF youth
They have nothing TO commend
them In an artietlc way. and they
doubtless are passing fad,
The most recent piece OF news for
today is not OF the cut OF the gowns,
but OF the important matter of Access
sories-those charming little dainti-
nesses which make or mar the cos
tune.
In the little jewel shops are shown
pretty hairpins-a kind of epingle
neiRe-w which women use TO fasten
their wells behind. The dainty little
things are made OF platinum. and are
covered with diamond dust. which has
given them their name - Pins OF
snow
Then there is a wonderful bracelet
made. Instead OF a precious metal,
ermine is used in the shape OF SER
pant. The clasp Is under the head
and the bracelet is finished with three
small tails. You see. the little animal
is so small that it tust fits round the
wrist This bracelet is.very new and
very effective when worn over white
gloves.

Progress OF Women.

There is no question that the up
rising of women, which is more or
less active in all parts of the world,
has grown out of the gradual but
steady decline of the men. Within
the last four centuries of the worlds
history, alcoholic liquors, tobacco
and all the enervating and narcotic
drugs, with the single exception OF
opium, have come into general
knowledge and use, and, as con-
sequence, because they are chiefly
used by men there has been a grow
ing enervation and degeneracy OF
the men, who are falling more and
more under the contempt of the
women.
Men were made physically strong
er in order that they may support
and protect the women and chill
'dren. Women, by the facts of her
constitution and existence, is neces-
sarily the keeper of the home and
is most properly dependent upon
the man. But when she sees in too
many instances that the husband and
father is miserable drunkard and
the sons and brothers wretched loaf
ers there is no wonder that she feels
there is something wrong in the So
cial organization.
1t is mistake to claim that the
women are naturally all good and
pure, and that where they are other
wise they are made so by the men.
Descended as not few are directly
from depraved and degenerate men
it would be strange If there were not
women who had inherited the evil
qualities of their fathers. and it is
grievous fact that this is the case.
Moreover, women are largely affected
by environment, and born as are
some amid scenes of misery and vice
and kept among such surroundings,
how can it be possible that all could
or should be pure and good?-New
Orleans Picayune.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1909-07-09

The feats of this famous animal
have been made so familiar to the
reader throughout the pages of this
biography proper, that further at
tempts to add anything of interest
would be superfiuous. Perhaps his
most wonderful achievement was the
ascension and descension of the stair
case, going up and down both back
ward and forward, In an almost per-
pendicular position, with rubber
ball balanced between his ears-a
feat no horse but him could ever be
instructed to acquire. He was par
excellence the premier performer Of
the circus world.
DR.. Knox, from whom Colonel Rice
obtained Excelsior, was a regular at
tendant during the days of the One
Horse Show, and being also per-
sonal friend of the Colonel, his ad-
miration for the jester was very sin
cere, and his faith as to Excelsior's
ability was the result of an idea that
a horse bred in Kentucky, even
though he was unframed, must, under
any circumstances, win. Colonel Rice
secured first-class groom, JEFF
Posey, from Daniel Van Wonder,
butcher in Cincinnati, whose skill as
a horseman was unsurpassed, but he
gracefully shared the honors with
Wilson Turner, who took his place
when Posey eventually became man
ager of the stud. After coming in
possession of Excelsior, Colonel Rice
introduced the intelligent creature at
once into the ring, and he responded
SO easily to the requirements imposed,
that 1t can be truly stated, he was
broken to his performing feats direct
ly under the eye of the public.
Excelsior died November II, 1878,
age twenty-eight years, at St. Louis,
Mo. Three days before his death,
Colonel Rice, who was compelled to
come East to fill an important engage
ment, went to the stable of Jerry Ar
not, in st. Louis, where Excelsior,
who had been i'll for some time, was
being faithfully looked after. Colonel
Rice called him out of his stall in
order to test his strength and discover
If he could be safely removed to New
York. Whining piteously, the thor
oughbred staggered with weakness as
he backed out towards his master and
placed his head on his shoulder, she'd
ding tears and quivering in most
pitiable way. Colonel Rice sought to
console the sorrowing animal as he
led him back in his stall, but to no
avail. There were many prominent
people present who had come to visit
the sick horse, among whom were
Talmage, of the Union
Pacific Railroad, and Mr.. Chas. Lucas,
the millionaire merchant of st. Louis
All were visibly affected. His funeral,
which was nearly mile long, was one
of the most remarkable tributes ever
paid to one of his race, and still sur
wives in the memories of thousands
an enduring monument to his popu-
lasity.-From "The Life of Dan
Rice, by Maria Ward Brown.

AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum
since it came upon the market knows
from experience the wisdom of using
Postum in place of coffee II one val

says:
Eat the time Postum was first put
on the market | was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia. and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use tea
or coffee. Finally / decided to take
his advice and try Postum. | got a
package and had it carefully pre-
pared, finding it delicious to the taste.
So continued its use and very soon
its beneficial effects convinced me of
its value, for l got well of my nerv-
business and dyspepsia.
my husband had been drinking
coffee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly, and | persuaded
him to shift to Postum, 1t was easy
to get him to make the change. for
the Postum Is so delicious. 1t GER
tainly worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum
does not exhilarate or depress and
does not stimulate, but steadily and
honestly strengthens the nerves and
the stomach.
ITO make a long story short. our
entire family continued to use Pos
tum with satisfying results, as shown
in our fine condition of health. and
we have noticed rather unexpected
improvement in brain and nerve pow

woodpecker's Ear for Music.

A T.tusville woOdpecker finds
amusement for himself and music for
two different neighborhoods by
humping vigorously upon terminal
cans at the top of telephone poles.
On East Walnut street, near the Dan
lei Colestock residence, he appears
frequently and disturbs the commun-
ity by drumming on this tin can. He
will then wing his scalloped way tc
West Spruce street and beat tat
too upon another can located there
The terminal cans contain fuses for
the distribution of wires and this as
tute bird has learned that he can
secure different notes by changing
position.
He VIII set his hard bill vigorously
at business en- one side Of the can
and before the sound has died away
he will be following it by a series
Of noises from the other side. That
the woodpecker does this out of pure
love for the noise Is very evident
He cannot hope to drill hole through
the can or to md anything beneath
If he accomplishes that feat. He
has found out that he can make 8
noise like street parade and appar
emily he enjoys it.-Philadelphia
