Butterfly Jewels,

There is a new way of wearing jew
els which affords delight to the young
woman who likes to be an embodi-
ment Of glitter and scintillation. This
method is called the butterfly Golf
The basis is a structure of puffs and
coils arranged in the manner becom-
ing to the pretty face beneath it.
Scattered over it is swarm of jewel
ed butterflies. There are a hundred
different ways of arranging gorgeous
insects, almost any of them likely to
be becoming. The aim is to secure
as brilliant effect as possible. The
general feeling in regard to this fash
ion seems to be that the larger the
butterflies the better, but when they
are made of very rare jewels their
possessor is usually content to have
them of moderate size.
The most exquisite of these orna-
ments are made of diamonds finely
set in the butterf1y's head, the mark.
ings upon the delicate wings being
formed by brilliant rubies, emeralds,
and sapphires Now and then, how
ever, there is butterfly whose beauty
is dependent upon less costly gems.
A specimen whose counterpart may
be seen any summers day, poised on
some delicate garden flower, is made
of clear yellow topazes. Black pearls
are set at intervals along the wings.

Morally a Gigantic Fraud.

A valuable report on the alcohol

This monopoly of the state has to do
only with the sale and was establish

Difference to the temperance senti-
ment of the time, it was announced
as a temperance measure. The re-
port of DR.. Levin shows quite COIL
clusively that it is purely a financial
measure. In the territory covered by
the government monopoly, the num-
Der of places of sale increased three
times as fast as the population from
1897 to 1904, and the consumption
per capita increased Is per cent. from
1899 to 1906.
Further owing to the fact that no
liquor is sold to be drunk on the prem
Uses, drunkenness in the streets, and
especially in the family, has largely
increased All local efforts for pro-
hibition are repressed by the central
authorities on account of the needs of
the treasury.
The so-called Guardians of Temper
ance," organized by Count Witte in
1894 to promote temperance, are
largely inactive and receive for their
support but a small proportion of the
governments receipts from the liquor
monopoly.
